TS1425 My iPod sse from it.  It is stuck on 'Connected.  Eject before disconnecting."

My iPod seems to have crashed.  I can't get any response from it.  It is stuck on 'Connected.  Eject before disconnecting."

At this point all I can think to do is wait until the battery totally discharges, then start it up again. That should only take a day or two, since I can't play it...
That is correct.  Or if the iPod appears in iTunes, try restoring it to factory settings.  If the problem still persists you can be sure that it's hardware related. Most likely the hold switch needs service/replacement.

  • IPod stuck on CONNECTED - EJECT BEFORE DISCONNECTING - How do I reset it?

    Title says it all. Thanks for your help.

    Toggle the hold switch off and on a few times then hold down the MENU and SELECT (centre) buttons for five or ten seconds until you see the Apple logo appear then the menu button to go to the normal display: How to reset an iPod

  • IPod nano 6th generation: "Do not disconnect" on white screen w/flashing icon; previously "Connected-Eject before Disconnecting" on dark screen w/USB icon; no content on iPod

    Trouble began with "Reconnect to iTunes to Restore" message after I inadvertantly held down the Wake/Sleep button long enough to turn the iPod off before pausing the podcast in progress.
    My subseqent actions to try to remedy:
    -Restored the iPod
         -while Restoring, the rotating circular arrows and "Synchronizing-Do Not Disconnect" screen appeared followed by "Connected-Eject Before Disconnecting"
         -when I ejected the iPod and disconnected it, the normal icons showed but there was no content
    -Reinstalled the latest iTunes 11.0.3 which I had downloaded previously a few days before my problems began
    -Restored iPod again:  still said "Connected-Eject before Disconnecting"
    -Manually put the iPod into Disk Mode (said to be helpful in troubleshooting):  "Do Not Disconnect" on white screen with flashing icon (circle with diagonal line)
    -Ejected and disconnected the iPod.
    -Reconnected the iPod:  same message

    You need to either the let the iPod finishing syncing with iTunes, or figure out what application is still using it in the back ground that prevents you from being able to properly eject the device.  Just unplugging it from the computer is almost always going to cause issues when it's still in use by iTunes or another application.
    So let's connect the device to iTunes one more time and let it finish restoring.  Then try syncing a bit of content over to it and wait for it to finish the sync process.  Then try to properly eject it from iTunes this time.

  • IPOD froze now says "Connected Eject before disconnecting"

    Error connection came up-now ipod is locked saying Connected Eject before disconnecting. Computer does not recognize ipod. How can I unlock the ipod or get my computer to recognize it?

    Im also having this problem, it used to work fine, then one day just came up with this CONNECTED EJECT BEFORE DISCONNECTING message when USB plugged in and Itunes does not recognise the IPOD so I cant disconnect it.
    I have tried re-setting it (several times).
    Have tried downloading latest software
    Have tried letting battery run totally flat
    Tried re-booting computer
    Tried going into MY COMPUTER and ejecting from my devices but its frozen out
    Any help much appreciated as its new but totally useless now

  • Ever since the new update, my Ipod won't sync. Starts to sync but then goes back to connected eject before disconnecting. Still won't transfer songs even after being restored. Restored fine. But now I've got nothing on it. Please god help!

    For awhile, since the newest update, I'd noticed when charging the ipod (classic) that it stopped going to the charging screen and would stay on the  Connected: Eject before disconnecting' screen. But, y'know, didn't matter to me, it still charged... until today when I tried to add music. Tried it many times, reset it... STILL wouldn't transfer songs... It would 'say' it was syncing, but then suddenly stop and stay on the same Connect: please eject before disconnecting' page. I did a couple of times get a message about scanning it but, after restoring that never popped up again...
    So, I do a system restore on it and ofcourse THAT works, but it STILL won't sync! So, now I've got an ipod with no music that won't sync and because it's all gone on there, I'm not sure how to back up my stuff (should I need to re-install iTunes... Though I doubt it'd work...)... So, yeah, I tried a different cable too, still no luck...
    There has GOT to be some way to fix this!
    Please somebody help me out! I so freaking appreciate it you have NO idea!

    I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos.  It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again.  Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
    In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen.  In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device).  Under Settings, click on Music.  To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box at the top for Sync Music.  That turns ON automatic syncing for music.  Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod).  Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below.  Then click Apply.

  • IPod says connected,eject before disconnecting with a pict. Of the USB cable. It does this after its been charging and I can not access the menus. Any solutions?a

    iPod seems to be frozen. After it has been charing and I remove it foamy PC! It says "connected, eject before disconnecting" with a picture of the USC cable. I can not proceed with this on the screen. Should I reconnect to my pc and do something differently?

    Try to perform a hard reset of the iPod, which is about the equivalent of rebooting your PC.  To do this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position.  Then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

    Almost every what? Have you tried resetting the iPod? See this.
    How to reset the iPod if it appears frozen or is not responding.
    It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.
    and also is there any way to get all ur phurchases back
    Every time you download music from the iTunes store Apple have to pay the artist royalties, so the official stance from Apple is that purchases from the iTunes music store can only be downloaded one time. Then, you must pay again.
    This is why you are prompted to back this music up to a cd or dvd.
    Some people say that they've been allowed a re-download for various reasons when they've contacted Apple.
    You can only ask but please be aware that Apple are not obligated to do this for you.

  • Ipod frozen on "connected eject before disconnecting"

    i plugged my ipod into the computer and it wouldn't show up on itunes. it just says it dectects an ipod that's corrupted. what do i do?
    i have the ipod disconnected now and it's still frozen on the screen?

    Did you try resetting it?
    Slide the hold switch from OFF to ON back to OFF then immediately hold down BOTH the center and Menu buttons for a good 15-30 seconds or until it restarts with the Apple logo.
    Resetting isn't always effective once and you may need to retry it several times to get it to work.

  • I plugged my iPod nano into my computer to charge it. The message says, "Eject before disconnecting". What does this mean?

    I plugged my iPod nana into my computer to charge it. I have a message on the iPod screen, "Connected Eject before disconnecting". What does this mean?

    In iTunes, next to the iPod, there will be an eject icon. This safely disconnects the iPod from your computer.

  • My iPod nano has locked up with connectd eject before disconnecting

    Greetings badminton1829,
    It seems your iPod will not respond when plugged in or otherwise. You may want to consider restoring it to factory settings:
