Trouble disconnecting Ipod from computer after updating/charging

Just bought a 5th gen and I started to have this problem. The first few times after it updated, the window on my Ipod showed the battery being/finished charged, and allowed my to disconnect. Now after updating, it just keeps showing "Do not disconnect" and will not allow me to unhook. (I have to go to USB icon on tool bar and dissconnect that way, even though it still shows do not disco on the Ipod window.)
Is there something wrong, and will I create a problem on my Ipod discoing the way I do?
Thanks
Jim

it recognizes my ipod but when i click the sync button nothing happens and my ipod is still missing the songs that i just bought from my computer
try playing one of the purchased songs for a few seconds in itunes. do you get asked to authorise? if so, and if you do, do the purchases transfer to the ipod when you sync?

  • HT4623 Updated my iPhone 3gs yesterday (1st time ever).  Backing up content to icloud but would not quit.  Screen would not disappear.  Finally disconnected phone from computer and lost EVERYTHING.  Can I get it back?

    Updated my iPhone 3gs yesterday to ios 6 (first time ever).  Backed up my content to icloud, but it wouldn't quit.  Remained on that screen for HOURS.  Finally disconnected phone from computer.  Still would not go away--just the "circle of death."  Restarted phone and lost EVERYTHING (pics, contacts and apps).  Can I get them back?  Are they somewhere out in cyberspace or lost for good?

    You're not alone. I am having similar problems with my Ipod 5th gen 30gb.
    When I connect it to my laptop (Vista - basic) it is not recognised by itunes. Itunes simply locks up.
    So far I have tried the following to no avail:
    Checked my pc's device manager - it recognises the device and says it is functioning properly.
    Checked the drivers to make sure they are upt to date.
    Uninstalled & reinstalled a previous version of itunes (as it worked fine before the latest release).
    Reinstalled the latest itunes.
    Reset the ipod.
    Put the ipod into disk mode and reconnected to itunes.
    Have tried to use the windows tool to scan and fix any bad sectors but it fails to complete a scan without locking that up as well.
    Placed into disk mode when fully charged and then allowed the battery to drain completely. Then reconnected ipod (in disk mode)and it still is not recognised and locks up itunes.
    At this point I dont really want to part with another $300 odd dollars for a new one.

    Has anyone had trouble ejecting their ipod from itunes after syncing?

    what trouble are you having? if after it says sync complete, and then you click on the eject arrow next to xxxx's ipod and it still says Do not Disconnect after ten minutes?  I just pull the cable. you can shut down the computer first if you want. never done any damage so far.

  • HT1351 Whenever I try and eject my iPod from iTunes after it is done syncing a box pops us that says "The iPods' 'Owners iPod' cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application".

    Whenever I try and eject my iPod from iTunes after it is done syncing a box pops us that says "The iPods' 'Owners iPod' cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application".iTunes is the only thing open on my computer so I don't understand what this could mean.  If anybody could help me out that would be great. Thanks

    Hello, cgtyoder. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Try resetting the iPod and power cycling your Mac to see if this message disappears.  If the issue persists you may need to restore the device to factory settings.  The article below will walk you through both these steps.

  • TS4036 My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud.

    My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud. When I go to iCloud.com my photostream is not there.

    A response I put together from another post. Also going into iTunes and choosing to sync phone to iCloud then back "this computer" sometimes works.
    First thing.. Stop where you are. Don't try to sync, update, hard reset, iCloud... Just stop.
    Check on your phone under 'SETTINGS' 'GENERAL' USAGE'. It should show some value for PHOTOSTREAM. Also, connect to iTunes and you will notice at the bottom of your phones summary page that there is a large amount of 'OTHER' data.
    I used third party software called iExplorer (formerly iPhone explorer). In this program you select 'MEDIA FOLDER', then 'DCIM'. In the various apple folders (IE: 101APPLE) you should be able to preview your photos and copy them to your desktop.
    From there sync them back to your device through iTunes or whatever method you use.
    There is a simpler solution I'm sure, which may involve using iExplorer to delete some .plist files then restart the phone and let it rebuild. I'm going to try it myself AFTER I've finished copying all the photos to my MAC
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes opens when I disconnect iPhone from computer... WHY?!

    Ever since the 3.1 update (I believe), whenever I disconnect my iPhone from my computer, iTunes opens... Is this Apple telling me I HAVE to have iTunes open at all times on my computer, and if I don't, they're going to open it for me? It's quite annoying really, and I can't figure out how to make it stop opening each time I disconnect phone from computer.
    Anyone else experiencing this problem?

    AHHHH! This has been happening to me for a while now. it's REALLy annoying. iTunes pops up for a second when I unplug my phone and then it hides itself in the dock. I wouldn't care, except that I've got limited RAM and use a lot of Adobe programs...and iTunes is a bit of a memory hog.
    Wonder if it's a bug or a "feature," though i'm not sure what the feature would be. Please let me know if there is a way to fix this. I've gone thorugh all the options without success

  • Playlist on ipod different from computer after disconnecting

    Hi! This just starting happening once I upgraded to Itunes 9. I sync my ipod and iphone and the playlists (mostly just my top 25 most played) are the same UNTIL I disconnect them from the computer. Then they're magically different. HELP!

    Frequently a restore is required for your problem:
    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.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - 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.

  • Can I restore music from my ipod to computer after computer crash?

    Thanks

    You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod, the transfer of purchased content has recently been introduced with iTunes 7. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    iGadget Windows Only
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    CopyPod Windows Only
    For more on the new function in iTunes 7 look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. In iTunes 7 Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for quite a small outlay.

  • IPod function frozen after update to OS4

    After updating to OS 4 on my 3G iPhone, all songs (and podcasts, etc) are present in my phone, but will not play. I select a song, it comes up as if it's going to play, the little play arrow comes up, and then I get booted back to the list of songs. I have reset, restarted and restored settings. No change. I have not yet done a complete restore from my computer, because it takes upwards of 4 hours to re-download all my music to the phone. But I will if there isn't another way. Any advice? Thanks!

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 5G iPod no audio after full charge

    I have a new 5th gen ipod and having problems with the audio playing after charging the unit.
    I leave the ipod connected to the USB cable overnight, but when I go to use it later in the day, trying to play songs or podcasts, there is no audio! This has happened about every time I've charged it. All menu navigation and selection of things to play works fine, but there is no audio to be heard. Song, podcasts, videos, no audio for any of them. The timer ticks as it plays, the status bar shows it proceeding thru the play, but no audio.
    I don't know yet if it's related to charging but it seems to occur after a charge. I have to soft-reset to get it to work again. Then it works fine until the next time I charge it. This is getting really annoying. I have updated the software on the ipod to the latest available. I have the latest iTunes.
    One day after soft-reseting and then playing audio ok, I went to use it a few hours later (no charge inbetween) and it wouldn't play audio again. This time I also had a terrible time trying to soft-reset it, it wouldn't! I pressed the center select and top menu positions on the thumbwheel and it wouldn't go, try after try! After about 5 minutes of trying it finally did.
    I have an iSkin eVo case on my ipod. I don't know if this would affect it but I also left the single sheet sticky plastic on the face of the ipod that came from Apple. Once the audio starts working, it works fine. No problems selecting, navigating, changing volume, moving the play-head forwards, back, etc.
    Anyone else have this issue? I'm about to take it in for repair/exchange.
    G4 Dual-533 Mac OS X (10.4.5) ipod 5th generation (video)

    Well, I spoke too soon... two days of using the ipod and it worked fine, BUT I realized I didn't leave it charging over night. Third night I had it on all night so a full charge and once again it didn't play audio in the morning. I shows that it's playing, the time for the song/podcast changes, the play symbol is on (not pause) but no audio. I have to reset the ipod and then it works fine. Then later in the day I try to play it and it won't even play! Menu navigation works but I click on the play button and it won't change the play time.
    So I'm back to square one! This ipod has a problem!
    Any ideas? I'm ready to take it in to the Apple store before the warrantee runs out.

  • IPod wont work after update! iTunes wont see it! Help???!!!

    Hi
    After updating the updater my iPod is no longer recognised by itunes. When i plug my ipod in it says do not disconnect and is recognised by the computer, but not itunes. The updater window comes up saying i need to update but it will only give me the option to restore. I have done this. I have tried resetting also, but this doesn't work. I have uninstalled the updater, and reinstalled it. The problem persists. It comes up with an error when i do have the option to update. Now my ipod, when turned on, display the little apple sign, and then the folder with the exclamation, and shortly turns itself off. It has no songs on it now. I've only had it about 8 months so it should still be covered under the warranty, but ideally i would like to solve this problem without sending it off.
    Did you work out how to sort out yours? Or can anyone help me with mine!
    Please!!!

    "Did you work out how to sort out yours?"
    Did who sort out theirs?!
    What is the error message you refer to when you tried to update it.
    If you've seen this and it doesn't help then it may need service.
    Folder and !.
    There is something you can try. If your iPod is recognized in 'my computer' you can try formatting the iPod through Windows, then you would need to reformat it using the iPod updater. This proceedure isn't normal, but can be used in extreme troubleshooting circumstances.
