When will the "Do not disconnect" message stop?

I have been charging my new iPod for over 6 hours. The manual says it only needs to charge for about 4. The icon states that the iPod is charged, but the message still says "Do not disconnect," and the manual says not to disconnect until the sign goes away. Is my iPod malfunctioning?

you need to go into itunes and click the eject button. i don't do that anyway. for me, as long as the activity circle is not there, i just pull it out.

  • When will the white note edge be available

    When will VZW make the Frosted White Note Edge available?

    Usually black and or white are sold as available color options first.  In this case, I would imagine that, if another carrier does not already have an exclusive right to one color, that it would be available at a later date, usually a few months into the life of a device after its release.  I reference the LG G3 and how Red was introduced 6 months after release during a short-lived promotion and also, how Best Buy sold a blue model whereas other carriers or dealers did not.

  • Do not disconnect message wont go away

    I have the do not disconnect message on my ipod when plugged into my comuter (windows XP). However, the computer says the update is complete. I have reset the ipod several times. Still get the message and when I try and disconnect (by clicking on the ipod icon) it says cannot disconnect because some files on the ipod are in use by other applications or something. Pls help.

    Hi,
    I have been suffering from the same problem, in that I continue to receive a 'do not disconnect' warning on the iPod (4gb nano). iTunes will not eject, nor will windows (as per apple disconnect instructions http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61135).
    I have found that MacAfee is the culprit in my case. I am using Virus Scan 10.0 and it seems to keep open handles on files in my iPod drive (although I don't use that functionality).
    To release the iPod I have to briefly disable the virus scanner:
    * Right click on the MacAfee security center icon in the system tray
    * Choose VirusScan -> Disable
    * After a few second the Do not disconnect disappears from the iPod
    * Right click on the MacAfee security center icon in the system tray
    * Choose VirusScan -> Enable
    I think that MacAfee & Apple need to collaborate to remove this bug.
    Good luck and I hope this works for you.

  • How long does it take the 'Do Not Disconnect' screen to disappear?

    How long does it take the 'Do Not Disconnect' screen to disappear?
    I Just got my ipod nano a week ago. I put maybe 10 songs on there and then today, since I had some time, decided to start creating my library. By the time I decided to stop and plug in my nano so it can update, i had like 219 songs that had to be transferred. I watched each song on iTunes go to the ipod like usual and then my list that comes up when you select "__ ipod" is all grayed out like it's still updating. On the top of the iTunes screen, it says ipod update is complete though, and of course, my ipod has been saying do not disconnect for the past hour and a half with the battery fully charged. Does it really take that long for it to finish synching my songs? I mean I know I had a lot of songs to put on there put geez!

  • "Do Not Disconnect" Message Won't Go Away

    I have the new iPod video and I also have the new iMac. When I had a PC, I'd never had this problem but now I do: After I eject my ipod, the "do not disconnect" message continues to appear as if it's still updating. I have ejected it using iTunes, Finder, the Desktop, EVERYTHING and the message still remains. Then when I try to disconnect it, the "device removal" error shows up. How can I fix this problem!?!?!
    When I had my PC, my iPod would automatically eject after it was done updating. Someone please help! This is my third iPod video and I hope this one isn't faulty as well! Thanks.

    Hello, and welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Let's try a restore of the iPod to the factory settings...
    Restore your iPod using the latest iPod Updater.
    Important: Please note that restoring an iPod will erase all songs and files on your iPod and restore it back to its original settings. Make a backup of any files on your iPod before restoring it. After restoring, you can transfer your music and files from your computer back to your iPod again.
    First get the iPod updater, available for free on the Apple website (http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/).
    Once you have downloaded that software, open the application, plug in your iPod and click "Restore". This will take a minute, after the ROM chip in the iPod has flashed, you will see the iPod screen, and there will be no music on the iPod. It is as if the iPod is new. Connect the iPod once again to your Mac, and run iTunes.
    You will most likely have to re-enter a name for the iPod and go through the basic iPod setup again; and then your music will Sync.
    Hope this helps,
    Cory

  • Can't get rid of "Do Not Disconnect" message

    I don't have a 5th generation, but this was the only forum I could find to post. My iPod is two years old, but it's never given me a problem until now. Everytime I connect it to my computer, all I get is the Do Not Disconnect message. I've tried ejecting it, and plugging it back in. It reconizes my iPod because it offers me updates. But, I can't get it to update.

    Do Not Disconnect error message
    This is a standard message when you connect the IPOD to the computer;
    When you’re connected you should use your computer to interface your IPOD;
    The Do Not Disconnect error message means you should not physically disconnect your IPOD until it been Ejected through ITunes or in my case by using Windows and going to My computer and right clicking on the IPOD drive and then Ejecting it.
    The sign Do Not Disconnect error message is normal.
    Go back and read your installation material.
    Hope this will help you to understand!!!

    please see my reply above and thank you for your reply, but unfortunately my ipod cant be seen in itunes or on my computer.
    I'm a bit confused....are you manually syncing or
    autosyncing? I ask because you talk about not being
    able to load music because the "do not disconnect"
    message doesn't go away. Assuming your iPod is
    showing in iTunes, that message doesn't prevent you
    from adding music. If you are manually syncing it
    won't go away until you eject the iPod.

    Look at this tutorial. Scroll to the lower portion of
    the page (or watch the video tutorial) to see the was
    to autosync iPod or manually manage it.

  • Can't load new songs, constant "do not disconnect" message

    I got a 5th gen iPod for my old mac mini seeing as how the 6th wasn't compatible. When I first hooked it up to charge, it downloaded every song on my iTune. Later, when I tried to add some more songs, the iPod kept flashing the "do not disconnect" message. Also, in iTunes, it keeps showing me the "Welcome to Your New iPod" display. I went through and registered it and signed up for the iTunes store and it keeps showing up. Whenever I try clicking the "register later" or "never register" buttons, nothing happens and it goes right back to the screen. Is there something I'm missing?

    i wanted to follow up. i was getting ready to sell my ipod on ebay, so i hooked it up to my roommate's computer, which i worked on just fine, and erased all the songs on it. these were the songs it automatically uploaded from my itunes when i first plugged it in. i then decided to give it one last try on my computer, i was shocked and amazed to find that it works perfectly fine now. not sure what the problem was but wanted to let everyone know in case someone else had the same problem.

  • Anyone else tired of the "Do Not Disconnect"?

    Is it just me or would many of you like myself like to have an ipod update that changes the "Do Not Disconnect" screen to a nice progress bar.
    I dont know about you, but I think this would solve a lot of problems. Just think of all of the users disconnecting before the screen even changes. Perhaps if there was a progress bar, users would be able to see an estimation of the time remaining.
    This is a Very needed update.

    I do not believe that you fully understand what the 'Do Not Disconnect' message means in all cases.
    If you use your iPod with Disk Mode Enabled, then the 'Do Not Disconnect' message will be present on the screen even if there is nothing being transferred to it at the time. It will remain on the screen until you manually eject it.
    A progress bar would be useless in this regard, since there is no progress to monitor.
    The 'Do Not Disconnect' message works perfectly as it is. I do not see any reason to change its behavior.

  • "Do not disconnect" message and computer won't recognize iPod

    Hi,
    This morning I made the simple error of unplugging my iPod without safely ejecting it first--a moment's inattention and now I'm stuck.
    I plugged it back in and tried to safely remove it as usual. The "remove this peripheral" window appeared but froze, with the hourglass hanging there.
    I looked in the iPod User's Guide and it suggested rebooting the machine, so I did. The situation didn't change: the iPod said "Do not disconnect," it was not showing in the Windows Explorer or in iTunes, and the "safely remove" procedure froze.
    I looked up online iPod help, following the link in iTunes, and tried "resetting"--didn't work. The "do not disconnect" message didn't budge.
    I tried again with different USB ports--no luck.
    I restarted my computer again. The iPod appeared in the Windows Explorer but not in iTunes. I tried to eject it safely through the system tray icon and was told "Windows does not recognize this peripheral. Try again. If Windows still does not recognize the peripheral, replace it." I tried to eject it via Windows Explorer and got another error message basically saying "I can't do anything with this drive."
    The other two steps in the "five Rs" are "Reinstall iPod and iTune software" and "Restore your iPod." Both of these are impossible if the computer can't communicate with the iPod.
    So my computer can't communicate with my iPod, and my iPod thinks it's still connected to the computer, so I can't use it. All because I made one thoughtless error and unplugged the iPod incorrectly. The iPod wasn't even in the process of updating or anything, it was just sitting there. Surely I'm not the only person this has happened to?? What on earth can I do?
    Meanwhile it's really inconvenient since I'm leaving on vacation in a couple of hours and I had been planning on using the iPod-digital camera connector to store my photos on the iPod while traveling in Burma where I will have no access to computers.

    Try resetting the iPod by holding the menu and center buttons for 6 to 10 seconds.
    If that doesn't work, put it in disk mode http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651 and then connect it to the PC and restore it with the latest ipod updater (Version 06-28-2006) You can download the latest here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/

  • How do I get the do not disconnect to go away?  Yep, I disconnected before I should have

    how do I get the DO NOT DISCONNECT message to clear....

    If you disconnected before your iPod came back on it could be bricked. Try resetting iPod back to factory settings but back up all your music, photos, files etc to an external or make sure you have them on your Mac before doing so.

  • I disconnected my nano from the computer when it said "do not disconnect" it is now frozen and will not do anything ..any suggestions?

  • IPod "Do not disconnect" message never stops

    I get an error message (The iPod "Tubby's iPod" cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application) when trying to eject my iPod from iTunes and computer.
