New iPod...charging....when will the menu work?

First iPod ever...charging on my Windows computer for 3 hours+.  Apple/iTunes/Menu on computer showed all songs "synced".  iPod says "connected - eject before disconnecting".  IPod is non-responsive to touch.  Is it frozen?  How do I "eject"???    Thanks for any help offered!

If it says to eject before disconnecting, the iPod is set to Manually manage music [and videos] or Enable disk use.  These are setting on the iPod's Summary tab (checkboxes).  The Summary tab is the screen that is shown when you select the iPod in iTunes.  This is just an FYI; you don't need to change those settings...
In the latest iTunes, the sidebar may be hidden.  To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. 
The iPod appears in the sidebar when connected, under DEVICES.  Next to the iPod's name (to the right), there is a small button with an underlined triangle.  That is the Eject button.  Click it to eject the iPod, which means the system dismounts the iPod's "disk" so that you can physically disconnect the iPod.
You can also eject the iPod with the sidebar hidden, if you like iTunes better that way.  There is a "devices button" near the upper-right corner of the iTunes window (when the sidebar is hidden).  The iPod is selected from that button.  The same eject symbol appears next to the iPod's name there.  Click it to eject the iPod.
NOTE:  If you use automatic syncing to load content on your iPod, and Enable disk use is checked on the Summary tab, you can uncheck it.  With disk use NOT enabled, iTunes only mounts the iPod's disk when syncing, and keeps it dismounted otherwise.  As long as iTunes is not accessing the disk for syncing, you can disconnect the iPod without ejecting it first.  The iPod's screen should NOT say eject before disconnecting.

  • HT1695 I know nothing about how to use my new ipod and when reading the little bit of information in the folder that came with it, all I can do is turn it on, but it just powers down after a few seconds.  How do I work this thing?

    I know nothing about how to use my new ipod and when reading the little information that came with it, all I can do is turn it on.  Then in a few seconds it goes black, never having brought up a screen to do anything!  Help!  What do I do to get this thing going?

    You might consider connecting it to the charger and charging up the battery overnight.

  • The head phone jack on my brand new iPod touch 5th generation is not working properly

    The head phone jack on my brand new iPod touch 5th generation is not working properly. It has sound without the headphones in but when I plug them in it has no sound, it's low, or poppy. I had only used my apple supplied headphones once before and it worked fine. I know it's not the headphones because I tried them on my girlfriends phone and they worked fine.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

  • TS3297 Does anyone know how to reset your security questions?? I loaded an itunes gift card on new ipod but when trying to make a purchase, itunes is asking us the incorrect security questions?!(for 1st time purchase)

    Does anyone know how to reset your security questions?? I loaded an itunes gift card on new ipod but when trying to make a purchase, itunes is asking us the incorrect security questions?! (for 1st time purchase)  I know the questions are not what I chose because I wrote the questions & answers down when setting up the ipod. Any ideas??!!!

    Reset Security Questions
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    Manage My Apple ID
    Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
    If all else fails:
      1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
      2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
      3. Then choose iTunes Store;
      4. Then choose Account Management;
      5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
          Continue;
      6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
      7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
          like your security/challenge questions reset;
      8. Click Send/Continue.
    You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
    In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
      a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
          tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
      b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
          "done", in the upper right corner
      c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
          Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
          should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
          security questions.
      d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
          selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
          should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
          questions.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

  • I have just bought an ipod classic, I already have an ipod nano.  The new ipod was connected to the computer to charge and it named itself with my name on the old nano, how do I get the computer to recognise the new one

    I have just bought an ipod classic, I already have an ipod nano.  The new ipod was connected to the computer to charge and it named itself with my name on the old nano, how do I get the computer to recognise the new one?

    My mistake, it was nothing to do with format.  It woldn't sync because my movies were HD.  HD movies won't sync to an iopd classic 160 GB but when you purchase a HD movie, itunes gives you a SD vervsion of the movie which is compatible with the ipod.  Just needed to go to store, click movies, click purchased and untick the HD box and there you have the SD versions.  Download the SD versions and then sync your ipod and bobs you uncle, movies are on the ipod

  • When will the pice go down for the iPod touch 5th generation

    When will the iPod touch 5th generation lower its price

    apple pretty much keeps their prices set where they are. Sometimes you may see 'old' models being discounted a bit after a new one is released...but that's not universal. Sometimes it doesn't happen.
    As to when there will be an iPod 6....only Apple knows. And they ain't tellin. (not to mention that speculation about apple stuff is a forbidden topic so nothing anyone here can do)

  • When will the "new iPhone" be released?

    When will the "new iPhone" be released? A.k.a iPhone 5, 5G, 5GS, 5S, whatever. And what about the "new iPod touch" a.k.a iPodTouch 5. Thanks in advance.

    This is a Peer to Peer Forum. It is NOT a Peer to Apple Forum. Nobody here can answer your Question.
    I should also note that Posting Rumors about Release Dates IS AGAINST THE RULES! JUST FYI!

  • When will the iPod touch 6th gen come out

    When will the iPod touch 6th gen come out

    Apple has not announced any new iPod models, and until they do none of us here, who are all fellow users, will have any idea. In the past, any new models of the iPod touch were announced in the fall, but whether Apple will continue this pattern or indeed if they have plans for any future new iPod touch models at all is unknown. We'll just have to wait and see.
