Something won't let me disconnect my ipod from the USB port

I plugged in my ipod to update my new downloaded songs. My computer never recognized my ipod and now the "do not disconnect" message won't go away. I tried clicking on icon in the lower right hand corner that usually tells me when it's ok to disconnect but it's not giving me the "ok".Can any one help me? I know that my sister unplugged hers with the "do not disconnect" message and she had to buy a brand new ipod. HELP!

This is the QuickTime for Mac forum and so probably not the best place for you to get help with your issue. I'd suggest you ask in the iPod area; choose the "connecting to Windows" forum appropriate for your model of iPod.
Good luck.

  • It won't let me drag an effect from the browser all of a sudden. I have always been able to do before. I am using effects from favorites bin and when I try to drag it, it won't move. I have never had this problem before. Please help.

    P.S. I have tried other effects including transitions and it still won't let me drag.

    Wow that was really quick, thank you so much.  Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it.  I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names.  isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
    So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
    either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

  • Can't synchronize my IPod with the USB-Port of my 27 Inch Cinema Display

    I use a 27" Cinema Display with my Windows PC.
    It is connected via USB and Display Port.
    Synchronizing my IPod at the USB Port of the PC works fine.
    Synchronizing my IPod at each of the three USB Ports of the Cinema Display doesn't work.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks Stephan

    Sorry if there is any missing information. I'll try to put all requested information:
    The car system is the one that is already installed in my car, I mean it is not something bought externally and installed in my car. The car is a ford S-Max. This car has a complete radio system that includes a USB connection for mp3 players. It works ok but not with the iPod. The IOS installed is the last that has been released, but the iPod was not working with this connection before that update.

  • TS1363 When I plug my ipod into the usb port of my desktop, It will not recognize that anything is plugged into it.  However it does recognize my flash drives, so trying to resolve my problem.  Please help...

    When I plug my ipod into my desk top my computer will not recognize the ipod in the usb port.  I checked my usb port with one of my flash drives and it works fine.  My ipod is in stuck in recovery mode, so has to be gone thru on itunes.  Please help me

    Yes, I think so...  But what's odd here (to me) is that it actually matters what song the iPod was playing before being connected to that USB port.  What happens if you connect the iPod when it is not playing any song?  It seem like either the car audio system knows where to look for the iPod's song files, or it doesn't. 
    If you have a USB flash drive, try putting a few song files on it, and connecting it to that USB port.  That's probably the primary reason for that USB port, so customer can attach USB flash drives with song files.  If that works, and you can properly browse and play songs from the USB flash drive, you should just get a $5 8GB USB flash drive, fill it with your "car songs," and leaving it connected to the car audio system.  That would be more convenient that remembering to connect and disconnect your nano all the time, and less wear-and-tear on the nano.

  • Can I charge my iPod from the USB socket on my tv

    Hi, just wondering if anyone knows if I can charge my iPod from the USB socket on my tv No other way at the moment and running low on battery Thanks

    Yes if the port puts out enough current (about 1.2 amp (500 ma). If less it may not show charging when the screen is on but it will charge, but slowly with the screen off.

  • On connecting my ipod to the usb port in my car, the ipod menu is inaccessible

    please help me to access the menu.

    Hello shashankj3,
    Have you tried *resetting* your iPod classic with it still connected to the USB port in you car?  To do this, press and hold the *Select* (Center) and *Menu* buttons together until the Apple logo appears.  Don't be afraid to try this more than once if necessary.
    If no luck there, try a different cable as well as contacting the manufacturer of your car to see if there is anything they can suggest as well.

  • My iPod won't let me delete certain songs from the device

    I'm not sure why, but there are certain songs that I've bought that my iPod won't let me delete. You know when you swipe over the song and red delete button shows up? That just isn't happening for certain songs on my iPod and I can't figure out why. There's probably a simple solution hut I'm not exactly great when it comes to technology so I'd really appreciate it I any one could help me out!

  • Firefox won't let me run and executable from the website-it wants to save it

    Looks like I lost all this information when I clicked to install the troubleshooter???
    again-- problem is I deleted old Internet Explorer and tried to install I.E. 8. With Firefox, I can't click download and choose run. When I click download I can only save.
    The saved download doesn't produce a file that works (it just tries to install I.E. , cleans off old files and restarts the PC OVER AND OVER.)
    I would like the choice to RUN a file instead of saving but I can't find out how to get this option back.
    I disabled all plugins, add ons, looked for possible limiting causes in Firefox to disable. STILL--I have NO CHOICE.
    Maybe this plea for help won't fix my problem and I will have to REPAIR windows--hate to risk it--I would have to back everything up, etc.
    Hopefully a simple answer to this question will solve my problem.
    Thank you to all who consider my question. I appreciate your time.
    Libby

    Hi--
    Thanks for the response. I was sure I used to have the choice to '''run '''or '''save '''when I started using Firefox and somehow I lost it with one of my adjustments. Forgot how or what I did!
    Before going back to Microsoft to try that I.E. program file again, I tried one more time to run it. That was the 5th time I tried to install I.E. from the saved file --and it worked!
    However, after that I tried to download an executable file from malwarebytes--- with and without my Kaspersky internet security program on--- the file RAN automatically anyway instead of insisting on SAVING!
    Maybe this was a microsoft issue?
    I am relieved that all is settled. Always try things 3 or more times is the rule with computers, right?
    But thanks for the tips--I may need them someday. Likewise the Safe mode w/ network support tip.
    ALSO--The page you referred me to was one I hadn't found with my own searching--it was much much better than the others. I bookmarked it.
    Thanks again...

  • Indesign won't let me drag in files from the library

    I did this fine on a mac, but on my windows Vista using CS4, I cannot drag with my mouse from the .indl library file.  I get the locked symbol when I try.
    I have restarted Indesign and reset my preferences but still no luck.  I have no idea why this is happening.  Can anyone help me?

    The first question is: can you use Place Item from the Library panel to place the same items?
    If not, there's something wrong with your library file.
    If so, there's something wrong with dragging/dropping.
    Could it be that you have two copies of the same library open? That can happen after a crash. It can result in this kind of mysterious behavior.

  • Usb unrecognisable message now appears when i plug my old ipod into the usb port on my v70. It used to work so i assume this is a problem caused by updating to the latest software. Has anyone been successful in downgrading to an earlier os using itunes

    I now get an urecognisable usb device message when i plug my ipod classic (ipod colour?) into the usb input in my Volvo V70. The ipod used to work, but since updating the IOs it doesn't. Can anyone tell me where i can find a copy of an old ipsw which does work so that i can downgrade back and acheive compatibility again,
    thanks chris jones

    perhaps someone from apple tech might contribute as the software upgrade has rendered the device useless for my purposes

  • When I add songs to my iPod, they go on there. But when I disconnect my iPod from the computer and plug it back in the songs never stay on there. How can I fix this?

    Just recently I've noticed my apps wasn't working, they would just blink and then exit out. So I searched on here to find out what I should do, and I seen that someone said to restore the iPod. I did just so, but before I did I made sure I backed it up so I still had my files. But when I plugged it in there was no option of restoring from backup. I didn't know why, but I just added all of my old songs from before. However, when I unplug it (after my songs have been added) and plug it back in.. My songs aren't there anymore! This is very frustrating because it's done this to me 3 times and I'm not sure what to do.

    The same thing happened to me when I updated to the new software when iPhone 4S came out.

  • My iPad won't let me download free apps from the app store

    How do I get the app store app back on my iPad?

    Aside from what Rudegar has suggested - swipe from screen to screen and see if the icon is on another screen or in a folder somewhere.
    Do a search on your iPad and then tap on the icon when it shows up to launch the app store and then go back to the home screen and see if it is there.
    You can always reset the home screen as well to return the app store icon to your home screen. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.
    Bear in mind that if you choose this option - it will return your home screen layout to what it looked like when you first activated your iPad. Any folders that you created on the home screen will be gone, but the App Store icon will return.

  • Firefox won't let me change my homepage from the default

    I have recently formatted my computer (doing a full system wipe, not just a settings wipe) and now Firefox isn't behaving. If I change my Firefox homepage to another homepage (IE Google) it will save it until I close out all my Firefox windows, then it goes back to the default homepage. I have tried doing a full Firefox uninstall, and deleting my profile and it's not working. I set the files to 'read only' and changed my homepage, and it still went back to the default. I have even deleted the prefs to no avail. I'm positive it's not malware as I have just formatted my computer (It was doing the same thing for a while last time I formatted as well but it somehow fixed itself) I do have Adblock and Status-4-ever installed, but those have been in my PC since before I formatted last time and have never caused a problem. They're also on my other computer, and it works fine as well. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
    PS. Sorry if I'm in the wrong area. I'm a little bubblebrained today. =P

    You are in the right area, this is the support forum.
    You should not make the profile read only, that will cause problems, for instance you will not be able to change settings or add bookmarks.
    Before you go any further try to make a copy of the current profile including the sub folders and files, and any accessible previous profile. (For instance are you using a disk image of the hdd prior to it being wiped, does that have the old profile on it) this suggestion is made because some of that information is likely to be useful, but is being put at risk of being deleted or overwritten.
    Have a look at
    *[[preferences are not saved]]
    * and [[backing up your information]]
    A potential problem is that you may have tried to restore from a Windows backup, they do not always work, and may need another clean re-install, but note do NOT delete the profile it is the program files that may need deleting.
    Try the following in this order, testing after each stage
    # return the profile settings to their standard privileges
    # use firefox in [[safe mode]]<br/> no need to make changes in the options dialogue window, just click on continue
    # try a new profile
    #* see [[Basic Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile]]_8-make-a-new-profile
    # back up your profiles (see above) then try a clean reinstall http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
