whats up with my ipod nano?(do not disconnect)?

Question

iv installed it properly using its cd and everything.

now iv connected it to the computer and its been charging through the night. but it is always showing that same do not disconnect icon everytime.

even when i try to eject and disconnect it wont eject at all. the ipod menu just flashes a couple of times,in between ther "Do NOt Disconnet" image and then gives me the explanatin that it is in use by something else.i cant find out what it is that is taking so long.

or maybe there is something else that iv done wrong?!?

Answer 1

there is always something wrong with iPods, look at how many people on here have questions about them, and how many people have questions about creatives, none, return your iPod while you can and get a creative, they are alot more reliable. when i saved three hundred dollars i bought an iPod 20GB video and it was very dissapointing, i returned it and got this http://www.creative.com/products/mp3/zen... best choice i ever made, iPods become vegetables after about a year, a zen will last forever. iPods dont play WMAs while the zen does, WMAs take half as much memory as MP3s. so yes the zen holds twice as much as an iPod, plus it comes with more memory for less money, its alot more then twice as much. plus creative doesn't force you to use itunes. you can just open the "my computer" window and drag and drop any file you want and the zen will play it flawlessly. when i had an iPod, there was always something wrong with it, almost none of my files were compatible, you have to buy multiple expensive programs to make some files compatible. and plus the customer service ignores you when you call. the zen also has FM radio while the iPod doesn't. the creative customer service is great, not that i've ever had to call for this product. customer service from apple just constantly tells you to buy more and more programs by quicktime, it never ends and you just fork over more and mroe money. for a product you will have to replace in a few months. apple sucks, get a creative.

Answer 2

The reason you are getting a do not disconnect message is a safety feature. If you just pull out the cable without properly ejecting it you could damage it or lose some of your files.
If it says it's in use by something else shut down all other applications before ejecting.
Or you could check if you have dragged anything into the iPod by opening up it's folder to see if there is anything in there that looks suspect ( like the guy from britain for example )
If you're still not happy, back up your stuff if you have to. You'll find transfer software from iPod to PC/MAC if you search google and then reset your iPod.

Look, the guy from britain is at it again, i have a feeling he was sacked from apple for having sex with the office chairs or something and now he's out to blacken their name. He's posted this answer multiple times.
plus he now works for creative.
He is a wankstain on humanity.

try resetting your ipod by flipping to hold switch on and then off and then hold the menu button and the select button(middle, circle, white) for 6-10 seconds - It wont delete your songs if you are worrying. If this doesnt work go to the apple web page and go to technical support.

Answer 4

try pressing control, alternate, delete, and then going to the processes tab at the top. then click end task for anythign that says iTunes or iPod, then at the botom of your screen next to the clock, click the thing that says "remove safely" or something, and that should work
