Need Help - Using 6OGB iPod

I am using my iPod for the first time. iTunes indicates that my iPod update is complete, but my ipod flashes "Do not disconnect." I have tried clicking on the eject button, but a screen aprrears indicating that it cannot eject, because "it contains files being used by another program."
What should I do?

The "Do Not Disconnect" is normal behaviour if you have the iPod enabled as a removable hard drive. If the "being used by an other program" problem is solved, check your preferences. Connect your iPod and in iTunes go to Preferences>iPod. Under the Music tab see if your iPod set to automatically sync (automatically update songs and playlists) with iTunes and also has a tick in the box marked “enable disk use". Remove this tick and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished updating. If you have your iPod set to manual update, the box will be greyed out and ticked by default in which case the Ipod always requires that you physically eject it.

  • I need help using my ipod on multiple computers!

    Okay so i got my Ipod on my iMac, and i usually download music from that computer to the ipod and it automatically syncs what i have on my itunes to the ipod, but i recently got a mac book pro, and i read on the apple support page that to transfer music from a secondary computer you have to connect the ipod to the secondary computer and set the ipod to "manually manage songs and videos" however when i select this option, and click apple, it still tells me i have to erase all the music on the ipod currently and replace it with whats on the secondary computer (macbook), all i want to do is be able to take one or two songs that i download from my macbook and put it on the ipod without having to erase everything.
    PLEASE HELP!!

    Could it be because its an iPhone and not a true iPod???
    i doubt it.
    actually, syncing an iPod Touch (or iPhone) with multiple computers is not recommended @ all. click here to find out what Apple has to say about it.
    all i can think of, i you really must do that, is this:
    to prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod - hold down the option and the command ( on a PC that would be the shift and ctrl ) keys when plugging in the ipod - keep pressing the keys until the iPod is listed under the devices list in iTunes. now you should be able to do what you want.
    however, you do so @ your own peril, as the article above outlined.
    alternatively, consider a setup such as this.
    good luck !

    Andrew,
    The iPod and iTunes are not compatible with Windows ME and the minimum requirements are Windows 2000 with SP4 or XP with SP2 (although I use several iPods and don't have SP2).
    If you can't upgrade to one of these, then you can use the iPod with ME if you are prepared to fiddle around a little. However, you won't be able to use iTunes.
    See this.
    Guide to iPod and Windows ME
    You can use iPods purchased in the USA here in the UK. Our family uses 3 such iPods.
    You can also use the iPod on any number of computers as this document explains.
    Using iPod with multiple computers
    Whoever gave you you all this wrong info deserves to be shot!
    Just one more thing Andrew. Please start your own topic in future instead of jumping in an interrupting someone else's with an unrelated query. It's know here as "threadjacking" and is against the discussions Terms of Use.
    Good luck with ME!

  • I need help restoreing my ipod nano 3rd gen so its like new

    I need help restoreing my ipod nano 3rd gen so its like new

    Plug it to your computer using iPod USB Cable (any cable should work excluding iPhone 5 and Shuffle cables)...... when you see your iPod in iTunes go to that iPod and click restore...... the whole process should take (depending on what you have on your iPod and its is up to date) it should take no longer than 30 minutes...... then it will ask if you want to set up as new iPod or restore from back-up (itunes back up), since you said:
    so its like new
    click set as new iPod and follow through what they said.

  • Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to...

    Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to recognize our iPods (it doesn't even recognize them when they're plugged in).
    Hubby wiped my harddrive for me, so now I need to get everything back in proper places. I'm using windows XP and installed iTunes once again (I believe it's version 8). I also installed all of my iTunes songs. Now I need to know where to go from here. We have 3 iPods and I need to get them all synched once again. I know how to create different libraries for each of us, but I can't figure out how to get our songs back into our iTunes libraries. When I open iTunes and plug in an iPod, iTunes doesn't even show that an iPod is plugged in.
    What do I do now to get each of our iPods synched with our own libraries?
    TIA
    Brandy

    Thanks Zevoneer. The "Restart ipod service" worked and itunes is now recognizing my ipod! Hooray!
    Okay, now how do I synch all of our ipods with our individual libraries (I don't want all of my kids' songs and vice versa)? We each have hundreds of songs on our ipods that we don't want to lose.
    Thanks again!

  • HT1329 hi i need help with my ipod nano i want to get my music from my ipod to i tunes so that i can be able to transfer the music on my i tunes to my ipad mini can you help me with that ?

    hi i need help with my ipod nano i want to transfer my music from the ipod to the itunes so that i can be able to transfer the music to my ipad can you help me with that ?

    You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like"iPod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your iTunes library, and then sync your iPad.

  • Need help with my ipod nano

    Hi,
    I need help with my ipod nano.
    I haven't turned it on in a while and suddenly it stops working when I try to turn it on again.
    Sometimes it displays:
    "www.apple.com/support/ipod"
    And right now it's displaying "OK to disconnect".
    Could somebody please advice what should I do?
    Thank you

    I need help.
    I have my IPOD nano for a while now and about a week ago. My husband bought one for his newphew and he had me download all the songs into the new IPOD (2nd Generation). Now Im having problems with mine. Everytime I try to charge and usually the screen will pop up to my original music player. This is what it says now when I open or charge my IPOD.
    "The File iTunes Library.it! cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".
    Now, that I listen to it...all the music skip. Please help me..what should I do??
    Thank you

    What generation of iPod touch do you have? If you don't know, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
    If you have an first-generation iPod touch, it can only go to iOS 3.1.3 and hence will not run the Facebook app. If you have a second-generation iPod touch, see:

  • I need helping using iAds in my application.

    I need helping using iAds in my application. I currently am not using any storyboards. I am using Sprite builder for my UI.
    I attatched an image ot show all the different file name I have.
    Everyone is being used & they all work fully.
    The "iAdViewController.h & .m" files are just example codes I looked up and was messing with so that my iAd can work.

    I wouldn't even be able to use the Mathscript node in an executable? 
    What I am trying to do is make a user configurable data stream. 
    They tell me how many bytes are in the stream and what parameters they
    want to be put in to it.  Currently I have to make vi's that are
    called dynamicaly to make the parameters.   Then recompile
    the code and send it to them.  This is somewhat of how the config
    file is set up so I know how to make the data.
    Data_Type  foo
    Bytes 30
    parameter_name        
    function           
       byte#          format
    sync              
    foo_sync            
    29               int
    time                              
    foo_time             
    1,2,3,4       double
    If I can't use MathScript to allow the user to make there own functions
    is there another way that I might be able to do this so I do not have
    to recompile the code atleast?  Were I might just be able to make
    the new function and send that to them.
    Any Idea would be great.

    Dear Cynthiaw,
    I just read your Beginner needs help using a array of class objects, and quick of Dec 7, 2006 9:25 PM . I really like your nice example.
    I also want to put a question on the forum and display the source code of my classe in a pretty way as you did : with colors, indentation, ... But how ? In html, I assume. How did you generate the html code of your three classes ? By help of your IDE ? NetBeans ? References ?
    I already posted my question with six source code classes ... in text mode --> Awful : See "Polymorphism did you say ?"
    Is there a way to discard and replace a post (with html source code) in the Sun forum ?
    Thanks for your help.

    You aren't addressing anyone from Apple here.  This is a user forum.
    You might want to call a neaby Apple store to see if they have a free class you could attend.

  • Need help using dbms_scheduler to submit an immediate job on the database

    Hi. I need help using dbms_scheduler to submit an immediate job on the database. Essentially I want to issue a one-time call to an Oracle Stored Procedure - this procedure will then send an email. I've never used dbms_scheduler before, but here's what I have so far.
    So my Program is a stored database procedure named 'TTMS.dropperVacationConflict_Notify', but my problem is that I need to pass 3 parameter values to this job each time I run it. This is what I can't figure out. The procedure expects an 'Id' as number(5), begin_dt as a date, and end_dt as a date.
    How do I pass these values when I run my job? Can anyone help?
    begin
        dbms_scheduler.create_program(program_name=> 'PROG_DROPVACCONFLICTS_NOTIFY',
         program_type=> 'STORED_PROCEDURE',
         program_action=> 'TTMS.dropperVacationConflict_Notify',
         number_of_arguments => 3,
         enabled=>true,
         comments=> 'Procedure to notify PCM of a Dropper Vacation Conflict. Pass in Dropper Id, Begin_dt, and End_dt');
    end;
    begin
        dbms_scheduler.create_schedule
        (schedule_name=> 'INTERVAL_EVERY5_MINUTES',
         start_date=> trunc(sysdate)+18/24,
         repeat_interval => 'freq=MINUTELY;interval=5',
         end_date => null
         comments=> 'Runtime: Every day all 5 minutes, forever'
    end;
    begin
        dbms_scheduler.create_job
        (job_name => 'JOB_DROPVACCONFLICTS_NOTIFY',
         program_name => 'PROG_DROPVACCONFLICTS_NOTIFY',
         schedule_name => 'INTERVAL_EVERY5_MINUTES',
         enabled => true,
         auto_drop => true,
         comments => 'Job to notify PCM of Dropper Vacation Conflicts'
    end;
    /And I use this to execute the job as needed...
    begin
        dbms_scheduler.run_job('JOB_DROPVACCONFLICTS_NOTIFY',true);
    end;
    /
