No eject button visible

Hi there. I have my iPod plugged into my computer, and the iPod itself says that it is connected and to eject before disconnecting. However, on iTunes, it doesn't seem to have recognized that the iPod is plugged in and there isn't an "eject" button on the screen. How do I disconnect? Thanks in advance.

to disconnect if its not in itunes then the next step that i would do is to first turn off itunes so then you do not screw up any of the syncing then go to your usb connections in your bottom right toolbar... and safely disconnect just like you would when your removing a USB key.....
hope this helps a little... cheers

    It's not a matter of failure, it's the idea of training people to associate the Trash with unmounting a volume. The Trash is a mechanism for the permanent deletion of your data, and designed to appear as such. Apple haters used to laugh at this..."Eject by dragging to the Trash? And you say the Mac is intuitive? Ha ha ha..." And they were right. It's better to teach ways that actually make more sense.
    The great thing about all the newer ways is that they are easily discoverable, you don't have to remember or figure out that you have to virtually trash your disk. A new user would naturally expect to find an Eject command or button, and there they are in plain sight.

    I always find a ton of mounted installers left behind by users who install stuff on their systems.  I don't understand why Apple cannot make an automated process to unmount the installer once it's done.  Just seems stupid to me I guess.  I've seen that mounted installer confuse people into clicking on it each and every time they want to start the app because they don't understand that once it's installed, that installer should be ejected because they're done with it.
    I agree about the installer volume behavior...and Apple made it worse in Mountain Lion by putting the volumes on the bottom of the Finder sidebar, which is often out of view. Incidentally, drag-to-trash does not seem to work with volumes in the sidebar, but the other Eject methods do.
    The "installer problem" is another reason I love the other methods much more than dragging to the trash. To eject multiple volumes by selecting them and pressing Command-E is much faster than the time taken to gather them up with the mouse and drag all of them to a specific spatial target.

  • TS1393 I cannot eject my iPod using either itunes or the eject button on bottom tool bar beacuse it says something is in use by another application or "The device 'generic volume' cannot be stopped because  a program is still accessing it" Synced new iPad

    How can I eject my ipod when neither itunes not the "safe to eject" button will allow it.  Itunes says "...cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application."  The safe to eject button says "The device 'generic volume' cannot be stopped because a program is still accessing it."  The has never happened before.  The only thing new is that I added an iPad yesterday.  Thanks. 

    Go to your computer's System Tray and try ejecting.  If you can't eject, there is an application that is trying to access your iPod.
    Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx and download ProcessExplorer.
    Go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555665 and follow the instructions under Resolution.
    Note that this is a good, general process any time you can't access any file.
    In my case an update to RealPlayer installed a program called RecordingManager that was accessing my iPod.

  • How do I use the restart keyboard combination on my MacBook Air without eject button?

    On my MacBook Air, I noticed that there are two restart combinations: 'Cmd+Ctrl+Power Button' force restarts my mac and 'Cmd+Ctrl+Eject' restarts my mac normally (not force restart). OS X: Keyboard shortcuts
    I noticed that there is no eject button on my macbook air and was wondering if anyone knows how to restart a macbook air without eject button.
    I have tried using 'Cmd=Ctrl+Power Button' but as I said, it force restarts my mac not restarts it normally.
    Also, 'Fn+Cmd+Ctrl+Power Button' also force restarts my mac.
    Please could someone tell me how to retort my mac normally with the keyboard shor

    With Applescript Editor crate an application with the following script:
    tell application "Finder"
    restart
    end tell
    Put the application in the Dock and clicking on it will restart your MBA.

  • Macbook pro eject the dvd just after instering them. Eject button dont work

    Hi there,
    I have a real problem with dvd drive. I inserted many CD/DVD into disk drive of my MBP but it eject them just after inserting even without reading them. It seems that eject button is stucked.
    So I forced a CD to stay in drive (I know I'm ...) and then the CD is stucked there.
    Also, when I click the eject button (beside F12), it do not work at all. I means that the eject screen picture do not appear on the screen.
    Any Ideas?
    Many thanks.
    Hassan

    Hi,
    At first glance it seems a hardware problem. But I have tried the DVD drive over network with another OS and it works fine. As mentioned in this post "http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2142828&start=15&tstart=0" by "Zungoeie", I contacted Apple store and they said that it's hardware problem and I have to replace my DVD drive (I have no warranty since two month). So as I'm computer engineer, I did not accept that it's a hardware problem as I've checked it with another OS. In the post cited above, one have proposed a SOFTWARE solution which I'm going to try tonight.

  • Remote control and eject button not working?

    Hey.
    Not too much to explain - my remote control does not work at all, and neither does my cd eject button on the keypad. This is after the installation of Leopard.
    I've tried to search for the issue but only find people complaining about the new Front Row design or how they cannot eject volumes at all. (Which is not my case)
    Has some people had this error and fixed it?
    Thanks in advance.

    The remote control could be because I deactivated my IR receiver
    That leaves my eject button.

  • Add a CD Drive, now Eject button doesn't work

    I am very new to Mac so if this is easy to fix sorry.
    My G4 only had one CD ROM drive so I added a second to the bay. However once starting up the system the eject button did not work. I took out the added drive and set things back to how it was. Now the button still does not work. How can I get the button to work. I can't even get a CD in the drive with out it.
    thanks

    Hi, Darin35 -
    What model G4 is it? If you're not sure of the Apple designation for your model, one of these Apple KBase articles should help you identify it -
    Article #58418 - Power Mac G4: How to Differentiate Between Models
    Article #42739 - Power Mac G4: How to Differentiate Between Models (part 2)
    One of the reasons I ask that is that all G4s which have an external button on the optical drive door were designed for only one optical drive, with the second (lower) bay designed for a Zip drive. If yours is one of these, how did you get the second optical drive into the lower bay?
    In general, the external button on G4 optical drive doors works indirectly - it is a plastic part, designed so that pushing on the button causes an arm/lever to press the actual eject button on the face of the optical drive itself. It is possible that arm got misaligned (or even broken) during reassembly of the case parts. You can examine it and test it fairly easily by carefully prying open the external door - be gentle; you are pulling against a mild spring.

  • Eject button no longer works after iTunes audio CD burn

    Hi, after upgrading to the latest version of iTunes, the eject button on my drive does not work after burning a CD.
    It still works with other applications, just not iTunes (but it did before the latest upgrade).
    Luckily, I can still eject disc's using the iTunes, or Windows Explorer software - but it's a pain.
    Is anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide!

    For my Matshita UJ-831Da CD/DVD drive, the driver version showing in device manager is 5.1.2535.0. I just now clicked on "update driver" and the reply was that a newer version could not be found.
    But why would doing a "Run Diagnostics" in iTunes now freeze / crash my whole system when it never did before? It only began doing that after it also began failing to burn CDs. Again, the iTunes software is the only software that has ceased to burn CDs.
    Several months ago, I finally reached by phone a girl at Apple tech support who first denied there were any known problems. But when I told her that the web was full of thousands of people screaming about this very issue she recanted and admitted that iTunes was having these problems, that they had posted the fix for some of the other CD/DVD drives but not mine. She then said, "but if you pay $35 I'll tell you how to fix it." Absolutely unethical. That's like buying a car then being told that there's now an extra fee for being told how to start it. She may have lied about knowing what the fix is, but either way it's absolutely unethical.
    The problem is iTunes. iTunes changed and now won't drive the same current drive it worked with when iTunes accepted my money, in advance, to purchase and burn music at future dates. iTunes should fix the problem.
    I'm willing to go through the leg-work, to try all of Apple's instructions here, but Apple also needs to follow through with this.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Clock will not display, Eject button not working

    Odd problems. Users clock will not display, check the box and it will not stay, clock never appears. Now the eject button will not function properly.
    Logged in as a different user, same problems. Must be a system thing...
    Ran Disk utilities both while in the OS and from the install CD. It did find some problems but says it repaired them all. No change.
    Ran TechTool Pro, it said it found some problems and fixed them. No change.
    Trashed all preferences and .plists, reboot. Everything reset to defaults no change to clock or eject button.
    System is G4 Mirror Door Dual 1.25Ghz, 1GB RAM, on system 10.3.9 all updates applied.
    The odd thing is everything else seems to be working properly... None of the Apps complain or display anything wrong...
    Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

    Ryan,
    I see that you list X Serv and Tiger 10.4.2 for your computer profile. I presume that you are talking about a different computer in the text of your post since you specify system 10.3.9.
    Problems of that nature can often be rectified by removing the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist from the ~Library/Preferences Folder, or by reapplying the most recent Combo update.

  • Eject button not working on dvd/cd tray

    You name it, I've tried it! Apples advice was to backup my work and wipe the dripe and reinstall the OS. Guess what - the eject button still doesn't work! Well done apple. That'll be 2 days wasted of precious production time.
    All this after a new power supply and logic board being installed by the apple store in birmingham because the mac had no power going to it. (6 week old MacPro 2.66) Yet the eject button worked fine when it came back from repair.
    Has anybody got and realistic ideas as to why the eject button doesn't work.
    I can manually eject the tray and also when using toast I can eject the tray - its just in the OS that its not working. I hav tried dropping a link to the eject button on the customize menu but the icon is just greyed out.
    I have even dropped in a brand new cd/dvd drive from another mac still with the same result.

    Right - the story is concluded - Finally!!!! Apparently when the technician removed the optical drive unit whilst fitting the new power supply and logic board he didn't fit the cables back into the right places on the drive!!!
    But at least now its fixed and I can get back on with some work.

  • CD will not eject using any command or eject button

    As it says there's a cd in there and neither the eject button nor command E will eject it.

    if the problem appears more frequently there´s a nice little (and free) programm what´s called 'ejector' (just google: ejector mac programm).. if you install this it appears in your menu bar.. now you can eject every medium with a single click

  • Mega 180 Eject Button

    Hi,
    Just recently I am experiencing problems with the eject button on the Mega 180, when it is pressed sound (and when running live tv) pauses for 2secs and then continues-not a major issue but something which really is annoying!  Any ideas on how to fix it?  It may have happened when I updated to the new bios through live monitor but I don't see how that could affect it!
    Thanks
    J_Jordan4302

    I've had my Mega 180 since Sept. I have the same problem with the eject button causing audio to pause. I don't think it is a bios issue.  I  do not use automatic update and have not updated the bios that came with the Mega in Sept. ..being a firm believer of if it is not broke don't fix it.
    I have just learned to live with it. There are other annoyances that are far more bothersome... for instance the biggest annoyance to me is about twice a week either I lose the audio or the system hangs at restart. The only fix is to unplug from the wall.  However if people have suggestions I'd be happy to remove even minor annoyances...
