When ipod connect via usb to my computer what is best method to disconnect.

i have connected my ipod to my computer, via usb   but I am not sure what is the best way to disconnect;  i have been simply pulling it out of the computer.  But I think I lost my music downloads when last I did this

Ty testing after plugging your laptop into the wall, your laptop may be reducing power to the USB port.
For more general info and tips, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting USB connection

  • Mouse freezes when IPOD connects via USB

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a 30GB Video IPod, however I haven't been able to put any music on It as the mouse (which is also USB like the keyboard)locks out.
    I've tried switching which ports are used by the keyboard and mouse, and I've got the keyboard sorted. So it is just the mouse now. I've uninstalled and downloaded the new version of ITunes and IPod updater too.
    Any clues to the solution fromanyone who's experienced the same. It's rather annoying. Hope you can help,
    All the best,
    Mark

    I am having the same issue as well. My mouse is plugged into my keyboard, which is plugged into my apple monitor. I try to plug my ipod into the front of my G5 and the mouse and keyboard goes dead. Tried plugging things into different ports... no luck...

  • My iPhone 3G charges with a charger, but not when connected via USB to my computer and iTunes doesn't recognize it.

    Hello, my iPhone charges when I charge it with the wall plug but not when connected to a computer via USB and my iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone either. iTunes recognizes my iPod and iPad just fine. I have been to Apple iPhone support page and I have restarted my iPhone, the computer, tried different USB ports, etc. I have also tried my iPhone on different macs even with different versions of iTunes and no luck. This all started when I was cleaning out some lint from the usb connector, could I have damaged some part of the docking connection? But why does it charge with a wall plug then?

    I fixed the problem. When I was trying to clean the connector of the iPhone I must have bent some pins. I have straightened them to the best of my ability and now it syncs. If your iPhone charges, but doesn't sync, most likely you have a similar problem, because the iPhone doesn't need all of its pins to charge, but it does need all of them to sync.

  • Why does deleted content reappear on my iPhone when I connect via USB?

    I recently upgraded from a 3GS to a 4S, and I'm having an issue that's never been a problem before.  I notice that music or video that I delete from my iPhone reappears when I connect to iTunes via USB.  Nothing is moved over, either: the videos are just listed as if never removed.
    I am deleting this videos by swiping across after viewing on phone.  They disappear, so I am not overlooking anything on that front.  Similarly, I don't sync video or music -- I have manual management checked in iTunes.
    Any ideas what might be happening, and how I can fix it?

    And almost 2 years later this is still happening - I delete TV Shows and Movies from my iPad 2 (iOS6) or iPhone (iOS6) and as soon as I connect the devices to my mac by USB they reappear (even though my setting is to manually manage everything). This then screws up syncing like this morning where I tried to add 2 new movies - as it was syncing I realised that the previous 2 had reappeared so I wouldn't have space to add them. I deleted them via iTunes and the sync appeared to be successful - until I turned on the iPad on the train to be greeted by a message saying that the 2 items couldn't be synced.

  • Why will my Iphone connect via USB on one computer and not another?

    My IPhone 5s connected to my laptop and Itunes no problem, as soon as i did the ITunes update now neither my laptop or my ITunes will read my iphone via USB. I have no idea how to fix it.
    (My laptop is Windows 8)
    It can't be a cable issue because i charged my IPhone via my desktop and it connected no problem, it's something to do with this ITunes update i think.
    Can someone suggest a fix please? I'm totally stuck!

    could be your computer's firewall is preventing the proper installation of your CIT200.  try disabling and reinstalling the drivers again.

  • When i connect via usb it starts charging but then stops

    when i connect my mini, itunes pops up, mini starts charging and itunes starts to update, but as soon as update is complete the mini stops charging even though it is nowhere near fully charged.

    Turn the ipod off (hold down the play key) while it is charging and see if you get the charging battery on the screen.

  • Will iPod Charge via USB without.....

    Will iPod charge via USB without the computer being on? It was a question I had because if the computer does not need to on... then I can plug it into any computer that has a USB port. I would like to know if the computer is needed to be on... because to be honest, I don't want have to turn on my computer everytime to just charge my iPod.
    Right now I am using an old adapter from my previous iPod to charge it... but the problem is me, my mom, and my bro all need to share that charger and tonight, my brother needed the cable to transfer more music but he couldn't because I was using the cable... :-\

    Ok... Um... I had an old iPod with the buttons still... not on the click wheel. Back then they came with chargers... so I just use the cord and charger that came with that. But when I got my new 5G I gave my old iPod to my bro... and thats his cord he needs to use for his iPod... to transfer music and what not. I should just buy a new adapter that compatible with the USB Cord, that way me and mom just use that since she has a nano... and my bro can just keep his cord.
    Thanks for your response.

  • HT1349 My new iPhone 4S won't sync to my MacBook Pro.  I installed the latest version of iTunes but it doesn't recognize my phone when I connect with USB.  Any ideas on how to resolve this?

    It's strange, on my work issued Windows laptop I have no issues syncing my iPhone to iTunes.  But on my personal MacBook, iTunes does not pick up my iPhone when I connect via USB.  Any advice on this please?

    I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
    When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
    I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
    I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
    nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.

    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.
