URGENT HELP - DO NOT DISCONNECT!!

Hi all.
I've read the backposts on this and tried, but its not helped.
Just plugged my iPod in to update and it came up with the usual "do not disconnect" sign on the iPod, however iTunes did not recognise that the iPod had been plugged in.
Went through the menus to see if I could figure how to do it manually (couldn't), so just thought I'd try removing the iPod and see what happened, and its still sitting with the do not disconnect like it thinks its plugged in. This has been for almost 30 mins now and I'm worried its going to sit like that all night.
It doesn't respond to shutting it off or the menu keys etc etc and although its now not even plugged in its sitting like it thinks it is.
Any help??

You have 2 options, if you can't get the iPod to eject from iTunes. The first is the Windows "safely remove" hardware button which is at the bottom right of your desktop, the other is to simply shut down the computer. Please do not disconnect the iPod from your computer while the "do not disconnect" is flashing. You may be a high risk of disk damage on the iPod.

  • Lenovo U410 Urgent Help Will Not Turn On

    Hello,
    Firstly i would like to thank anyone reading this post and taking the time out of their day to try and help my problem.
    I have a Lenovo U410 Ultrabook i've had my Laptop for around 1-2 years now and i have kept it in a very good condition there have been no issues with it. About 1 Week ago i was using my laptop left my room for about 30 minutes to have a shower and upon returning i saw that my Laptop was not charging i unplugged the charger from the laptop and place it back in nothing happened. so i turned off my laptop and unplugged the charger from the wall socket. since then i have not been able to turn my laptop back on i have tried but the led's flash twice when i tried to turn it back on. i have changed the fuse in my charger about 3 times with new fuses all 3AMP required and there is no difference at first i thought it was a problem with the charger but now im thinking otherwise and i'm quite worried. After searching around the internet for a fix i have pressed the power button for 30 seconds and the leds blinked 3 times and after trying various methods to turn it back on it has not been succesful i have even uplugged the battery and plugged it back in after removing the back cover. i have no warranty left as it expired and i was not able to renew it. if you have had any experience with similiar problems or any suggestions i would be very interested to hear what you think the next step for me would be. i dont have much money to invest into this laptop but i am prepared to spend some money if need be.
    Thank you for reading my extremely long post,
    Your's faithfully

    Hi Prasad,
    Are you still having the problem? Which version of BI Publisher are you running? If you are running an earlier version, then upgrade it to 10.1.3.3.3 and the problem gets solved. We also had the same problem when we were on 10.1.3.3.0 and now it's gone after we upgraded. Hope this helps.

  • Urgent help -can not access Documents (windows 7)

    After some one renamed one profile and my documents (roaming profile and my documents redirected to network path too through group policy).  Now , I can not open Documents.  I got this message: "can't open this item  It might have been
    moved, renamed, or deleted.  Do you want to remove this item?"
    Thank you.

    After some one renamed one profile and my documents (roaming profile and my documents redirected to network path too through group policy).  Now , I can not open Documents.
    Since you have a roaming profile, you must be connected to a Windows server. If so then you should discuss this problem with your network administrator.

  • URGENT Help - navigation not working 1st time thru on deployed apps.

    Using update 6, and exporting a WAR file that, by hook&crook, I can actually get to deploy on Sun Application Server Platform Edition 8.1(the 2005Q1 version) on a Linux box... the app is running under an SSL-enabled http-listener on the app server.
    the app works fine on the dev machine.
    on the Production machine above, the user is faced with a form and an action link... almost everytime when the user clicks the link the browser goes off into the weeds, saying "Waiting for mysite.com..." and the little animation for page loading is going....
    and NOTHING happens, the app never sees the click, as in any log statements in the code don't get logged (even in the linkAction_action routine), the server is quiet, and nothing happens no matter how long you wait. It doesn't even run validation - it just hangs the browser....
    if you click the stop button and do it AGAIN, it's immediate!! you get the next page in the process. (and no, I can't tell my users to keep trying...)
    HELP? is this an app error or a SunAppServer issue??
    This is really UGLY.
    -Kristofer

    yes to all of the above. but when I moved the exact same app (*exact* same war file) to Tomcat 5.5.7, under a valid SSL cert (the same 'keystore' used above) the problem vanished.
    I have to "ship".
    SunAppServer 8.1 ain't ready for me. Sorry.
    cheers,

  • IPod say's "Do Not Disconnect" but still not recognized. Please help!!

    Hi everyone.
    Ok here's my situation.
    Im using a MacBook Pro (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5)
    iTunes 11.4 (64Bit)
    iPod 4th Gen. (White 20GB 'Click-Wheel')
    After doing a system restore on my ancient dinosaur ipod 4th gen. (the white 20GB 'Click Wheel') and 'upgrading' to iTunes 11 i've had nothing but problems.
    So now when i plug in my ipod it charges fine and even say's "Do Not Disconnect" *BUT* there is no 'on my ipod' button. I cant see my playlists, add songs, delete songs or anything! I just want to 'DOWNGRADE' my itunes and have everything how it was before. I find this to be a science project in itself and no amount of searching youtube videos gave me a clear answer, it only made me more afraid and confused of going forward with this.
    I tried downloading 'sharepod' for MacBook Pro but this is pointless because it needs itunes to recognize the ipod for it to recognize the ipod. Ehh.
    I did a 'system restore' on the ipod but when i went home where all my music is (on a windows PC) it said i have to do the restore again because it was restored on a MAC. So i did the restore again on my Windows PC (put all my music on it) and now i want to add songs from my MACBOOK Pro and its not even recognizing my ipod. Arrrgh the frustration i tell you!
    Im done doing the system restore and i just want to add playlists now. Why is this soo difficult? Someone please help a newbie out. Im great with computers and feel like i honestly should have never upgraded the itunes in the first place because i feel this is what is causing my problem. I've heard the older gen. ipods dont work as well with the newer versions of itunes although im not sure if there is any truth to that or is it just rumors. Either way can somebody please take me on a step by step of what to do next? Please with a cherry on top?

    Did you restart the Mac?
    Did you reset the iPod using the two button combo?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    If the above do not work, try putting the iPod into disk mode, and then connecting it to the Mac.

  • IMessage and FaceTime not working, Urgent Help please!!!

    Hi guys,
    Need help urgently, my iMessage and FaceTime are both not working on my Macbook Pro.
    The iMessage gives giving this message "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.", while FaceTime just simply cannot login.
    Please help!!!

    This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
    Step 1
    Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
    Step 2
    Sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your Apple devices. Log out and log back in. Try again to sign in.
    Step 3
    Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
    Step 4
    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ About This Mac
    Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
    Step 5
    Take the steps suggested in this support article. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
    Step 6
    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If the box marked SOCKS Proxy is checked, uncheck it. You don’t need to change any other settings in the window. Click OK and then Apply. Test.
    The result may be that you can't connect to the Internet at all. Revert the change if that happens, or if iMessage still doesn't work. Remember that you must Apply any changes you make in the preference pane before they take effect.
    Step 7
    Select from the menu bar
               ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
    and click
              Block all sites from storing information on this computer
    Close the preference pane.
    Step 8
    Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to find and delete all items with "iMessage" or "com.apple.idms" in the name. Log out and log back in.
    Step 9
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
    Step 10
    Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you start up, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound outputand Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. After testing, restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
    If iMessage worked in safe mode, but still doesn't work when you restart in "normal" mode, stop here and post your results.
    Step 11
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.apsd.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 12
    Reset the NVRAM.
    Step 13
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
    Step 14
    Reinstall OS X.
    Step 15
    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support. When you set up a support call, select "Apple ID" as the product you need help with, not the hardware model. That way, if you're not under AppleCare, you may be able to talk your way out of being charged for the call.

  • Urgent Help! Flash Links not working on PC but fine on Mac??

    I need urgent help as my client is expecting a fully working site this week and i can't seem to understand what the problem is with the site i created www.tuarard.ie. The links such as the link 'download current programme' which is on the splash page works fine on mac but not on pc. there are other various links throughout the the site as well which don't work on pc.
    Could someone please help me fix this problem. i am guessing the flash in fine but that the html is causing the problems. i am a beginner in the world of html so i know very little about it.
    any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,
    Peter

    I know this is hindsight, and likely more of an opinion-based answer, but except for the original dynamic "opening" of the flash homepage there wasn't anything I saw on the pages other than the scrolling photos at the top that required flash to accomplish. Flash is cool (I use it frequently for sections of a page - banner animations, etc.), but I've found it's often more trouble than it's worth unless every section of you site will feature something amazing or compelling to use it...
    It's not search engine friendly (unless all of your text is linked externally, and even then limited), the correct player needs to be loaded on the viewer's machine to view, and it opens (generally) much slower than a standard html page...
    Having said that - I think the site looks great - and fits the feel of the content, (and worked fine on the mac and windows browsers I tried here...)
