Unplugged Ipod during "do not disconnect", Itunes freezes now at plug in

So, I made a mistake. I unplugged my ipod, when it said "do not disconnect".
Now, when I plug it in to my laptop, Itunes freezes up, and doesn't sync.
That means I can't restore the factory settings.
Plus, everytime I plug it in now, it says "do not disconnect."
What should I do? Should I reformat the Ipod drive? (it's an Ipod Photo)
Any help appreciated.

I may have the same problem but I don't think I removed it too soon. The ipod says there are no songs, books, etc... but I can see where the space is used up. I cannot get it to reset to factory settings and itunes freezes up when I plug it in. I tried the 5 R's as best I could. I've talked to tech. Windows recognizes it in the drive and in fact I can go through windows and look at the drive and see that there are files on it. I have 3 other ipods and an iphone -all the others are ok except this one which was the last one I synced before this happened. There has got to be an easy answer to this. Anybody??

  • Accidentally unplugged iPod on 'Do Not Disconnect' screen.

    I did this when the iPod was not updating anything, it was just plugged in my computer. On My Computer, it just displays it at a Removable Storage not as an iPod anymore. I think it really messed with my iPod. I cannot restore it since the iPod Updater will not recognize my iPod anymore.
    I tried installing the iTunes and done everything I could on the Apple iPod help site, and I think there's something seriously on my iPod. A restore could probably fix it, but that's the problem, I can't restore.

    hi...this just happend to me and i thought all hope was lost...try resetting it...at first this didnt work for me cuz i was pressing the wrong two buttons while reseting the ipod...toggle hold on and off...then hold down menu andd the center button (the middle of the wheel not the labeled buttons) it shuld come out of it becuase u seem like u had the same problem as me...it froze while i tried to update it with the newest version of the ipod updater and then didnt recognize...try this reset cuz everything is fine now with my ipod..i hope it works for..it shuld

  • All music removed from iPod, Music will not Sync, iTunes freezes

    So I was syncing some new songs to my iPod, the sync went through alright, then I go to listen to my iPod to see that there are no songs on it, so I just kind of wave it off and go back to sync everything back on my iPod, only to have it freeze my iTunes. When I unplug the iPod, iTunes tells me it can't read the contents of my ipod and to restore it.
    I have tried the following troubleshooting techniques.
    A. Reinstall iTunes.
    B. Reset iTunes driver. (By this I mean Restart "iPod Service"
    C. "Format" iPod driver.
    D. Check for updates
    None have helped.
    What should I do? My warranty is not covered but I seriously am not considering getting a repair for the cost offered.

  • Ipod frozen ("Do not disconnect") Restore attempt triggers error message

    The sequence of events:
    1. ITunes did not recognize my Ipod this morning (My ipod icon did not appear in itunes)
    2. Itunes froze. (Computer froze generally)
    During attempts to restart computer, realized that computer failed to start if Ipod firewall cord is plugged in--so I unplugged the ipod. "Do not disconnect" in ipod window.
    3. Read "Ipod The Missing Manual" fix for this disconnect problem, but does not work. Part of the problem is that my ipod still hasn't appeared in itunes, alhtough the computuer makes a familiar "dong" sound when the cable is plugged in.
    4. Figure I will attempt "system restore" for ipod during the brief period Itunes is unfrozen (thawed) immediately after I've restarted the computer. Ipod finally appears in Itunes (which takes 10 minutes to open) It does recognize an ipod--but it doesn't have my name on it. And there's a New message, that my ipod is corrupted and I must restore it, lose songs, etc. So what. Onward.
    5. Attempt to restore also unsuccessful. A new, sick-making message: "There was a problem downloading the ipod software for the ipod. The requested resource was not found."
    I've tried a new cable, tried a new port...
    Ipod is one year old. What does any of this mean? Where do I go to begin finding a solution? Do I throw it out and start again? Obviously my computer is botched up, too. What a mess.

    I have the same... and so many others and no one has a solution (up to now). It might has something to do with itunes 7th version. I have tried EVERYTHING (believe me: the 5 R's/ other Itunes versions / winamp / reboot/ reinstall/ restore/ update/ other port/ etc etc/ searched this forum)
    So many people having this problem, though Apple has not reacted on this yet...
    despite asking 180 euro's service costs if you want to resolve this by sending this item. Great

    Have you tried resetting your iPod while connected? Then, unplug it, and connect it again.
    Have you tried putting your iPod into disk mode, then connecting it to your computer again?

  • Why my ipodmy ipod displays do not disconnect and wont sync but can be restored?

    why my ipodmy ipod displays do not disconnect and wont sync but can be restored?

    If it is a problem than I have it too. Mine does the
    same as long as I don't stop the device via the
    little green arrow icon (USB manager) down by the
    clock.
    I never really need to use the Ipod when it is hooked
    into the PC because everything is done through
    iTunes. I just thought it said "do not disconnect"
    because it was associated with both iTunes and the PC
    as a hard disk.
    If I stop the device or "eject" the iPod, it goes
    from do not disconnect to the normal menu tree.
    So when you take the USB cable out of the iPod, it goes back to normal?
    If that's what you mean, mine does that too.
    It's just that I read that if you remove the USB cable from your iPod while it says 'do not disconnect', it can wipe all your music....

  • Disconnected nano during "do not disconnect"

    I disconnected nano during "do not disconnect"and did not follow instructions. Went to Finder and clicked on my name and eject and nano worked, so disconnected it again. Nano works fine, but when I connect it again, all that shows are the downloaded items. It won't sync, and the "do not disconnect" shows again on the nano. How do I get it to download new items and to sync?

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup

    In itune did you play any of the songs downloaded. If so plug your ipod back in an manualy check off to sync all music. If that doesn't work you might have to restore the ipod.

    My ipod touch is not turning on, even if i plug it in to the charger. I'am wanting to rest the passcode through my computer in hopes it will turn back on. So far nothing is working what should I do?

    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.
