Stuck on Do Not DIsconnect (Will not shut off or change screens at all)

Alrighty so i plugged in my ipod and the screen had shown the Do Not Disconnect but my computer did respond to the usb input so i unplugged it and then my comp said device corrupted in the itunes window. when i plugged it back in the windows bubble message that you get when ou plug something in said "Device has malfunction click this bubble to find possible solutions" i have restarted my computer the hold isnt on at all. saying its charging when its not plugged in and will not move from the disconnect thing. and i dont wanna take it apart yet and the warranty for repairs is up so there is nothing i know how to do. HELP PLZ!!!!!!

I'm having a similar problem but it appears I have iTunes 7.6 and a 5th generation 80g iPod. Been syncing it to my new MacBook with OS 10.5.2. Originally iPod was configured for PC but I had no problems after the change to the Mac. Seems like the problem syncing has started after downloading the latest update software for Leopard (to the 10.5.2) which included other things in the download (perhaps also Quicktime and iTunes?) This problem with not being recognized in iTunes happened twice in one week - only way to get it going was to do a reset while it was still plugged into the computer (cause it said do not disconnect) but the second time it took many tries and holding down the menu & select for a very long time. It finally was recognized and the sync started. This has me very worried and I don't think the 5Rs and other troubleshooting suggestions are the issue (it was fully charged & I've used the USB ports for other devices with no problems, etc.) Please advise. Can't give it up to service for over a week 'cause going on a trip and sure hope it will continue to work.

  • TS1702 The itouch will not shut off and the screen is blank and lit up!!  It won't respond to anything.  Help!!

    My daughter's itouch seems to be completely frozen.  All it displays is a lit up screen with nothing on it.  It won't repond to a charger or when I connect it to my Mac.  Please help!!

    PUT THE ITOUCH IN DFU MODE
    DFU INSTRUCITONS
    CONNECT THE DEVICE TO THE MAC WITH THE WHITE CABLE BEFORE YOU BEGIN
    HOLD THE HOME BUTTON(which you can find at the bottom in centre) FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND THEN WITHOUT RELEASING IT PRESS THE ON/OFF KEY WHICH WILL BE ON THE TOP RIGHT ON THE UPPER SIDE
    THEN ITUNES WILL PROMPT YOU TO RESTORE THE DEVICE, JUST HIT ON RESTORE IN ITUNES WHICH WILL THEN TAKE SOME TIME WHILE IT DOWNLOADS THE SOFTWARE AND THAT'S IT
    FOR MORE INFO. ON DFU MODE JUST DO A SEARCH IN GOOGLE TYPING "HOW TO PUT IPOD TOUCH IN DFU MODE"

  • I've tried EVERYTHING.  iPod still will NOT shut off...

    My iPod has refused to shut off for over a week now. First I went through all the usual steps (resetting dozens of times) and I still could not get it to turn off by pressing play/pause. I then restored my iPod and the thing will still not shut off.
    Oddly enough it will turn off if it is being charged, but if it is not, it will remain on. Even the SLEEP button does not work!
    I haven't the slightest idea what to do now. Any and all help is greatly appreciated

    Had a similar problem. holding play/pause didnt turn mine off.. (also 60GB iPod Photo). But mine did turn off if I disconnected the headphones while its on hold to make it pause and then then automatically switched itself off after a couple of minites of not being used. If this is a bad batch watch out... i've just had a hard-disk failure. see

  • Ipod touch 2nd generation (works fine), but will not shut off

    my ipod touch 2nd gneration works fine, but it will not shut off.  This use to work:  I would hold down both top and face button for about 10 seconds and it would shut down. Now nothing happens no matter how long I hold those 2 buttons down.  Any suggestions?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: 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. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My ipod touch will not shut off. lock up

    My ipod touch will not shut off. It is just a black screen with the time dial turning. It does not do anything. How can I get it to do something?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod Classic will not shut off

    Ipod classic will not shut off. Have held menu/select until apple logo appears, no change

    Menu/Select is to reset the device, not turn it off. You need to press and hold the Play/Pause button until the display turns off.  Then activate the hold switch.

    You should try taking it to the Apple Store and asking for a replacement.
    Or you could enable Assistive Touch from Settings>General>Accessibility.

  • Samsung Brightside will not shut off.

    My Samsung brightside will not shut off.  Have to remove battery.  Did master reset to no avail.  Charging port is clean and never exposed phone to water.  HELP!

        Hello Four_Soups,
    That is incredibly strange! I'm so sorry your son is having this issue.  I will be delighted to check into this and see what we can do.
    I checked my resources and I didn't see any other recorded reports of this same issue.  I truly appreciate you trying to reboot the phone as I would have suggested this as well.
    Since you've already completed that step, I would ensure all of his personal information is backed up such as contacts and media (pictures, etc) and reset his phone:
