Hello....I just charged my ipod on my computer (yesterday) & it still reads "do not disconnect". I tried looking in old threads for the answer but couldn't find any. Can any one help. Thanks.
 
Mine always says "Do Not Disconnect" when it's connected to the PC. I ignore it and disconnect it and have been doing so for over 2 years...

I think it's a bug.
 
That's what it says until you eject it in itunes.

There should be a little eject button next to the name of the ipod in itunes. Click it.

It looks like a little up arrow with a line under it in a light blue circle, next to the battery icon.

In Windows, the other way to eject it is to use "safely remove hardware" in the system tray, if you have a disk based ipod. That doesn't work for the ipod touch or iphone because they don't look like disk drives to the computer. On the other hand, my ipod touch only says "sync in progress" when it's actively connected and doing something, and it's safe to remove it if it doesn't say that.

If you aren't running itunes, use "safely remove hardware", rather than waiting for itunes to start. If you are running itunes, do it through itunes.

Ejecting it will make sure that any writes to it are complete and safely unmount the disk from the operating system.

We have a problem where the IPod is always syncing. It can be connected for hours and it never stops indicating that the IPod is syncing. We click eject and ITunes indicates that the IPod is syncing and to confirm that we want to eject, we select yet and then disconnect.

Don't know why it won't complete the sync process.

Click to expand...

Try changing the settings to manually manage music, etc.

I have an iPod problem also. We have 2 iPods - a 2nd Gen 8-GB and a 5 Gen 30GB. When I set them up last year, I made Playlists and set these up so that we could just have certain things on the 8GB one. Well, a couple of weeks ago we "balsted" our desktop, so it seems like a new computer. When we re-installed I-Tunes, the newest version loaded (we have done some upgrades since originally setting the iPods up, but not really made any changes). Anyway, I made a small change today and when I went to make sure it loaded on the iPod, it first told me that I did not have enough space because of Podcasts (we do not do those) and then proceded to create a new Playlist called Mike & Phyllis' iPod. That replaced everything on the iPod. I have reset it 6 times today and it still does that. The Playlists that I want are available to see, but I cannot get them to load on the iPod - they no longer show up in the Library.

I called Apple a little while ago and after forever on the automated system, I talked to a person who basically told me to go to an Apple store when his first suggestion did not work. I do not know how that is going to help me at all - the songs are on my desktop and the store is 20 miles away!

Yes, I am frustrated. :wall:

Does anyone know how to just copy playlists to an iPod? The Genisus thing did not work at all. I NEED to get this set up correctly. It is my husband's iPod and he likes to listen to the audio Bible while doing his chemo. Luckily, these were all on my iPod, but it did copy the wierd new playlist with everything jumbled up on it too. At least it has a lot of unused space.

I just re-installed iTunes, so maybe I will be able to figure it out, but would appreciate any assistance from you guys. Should I delete my music (I have a back-up) and start over with the playlists that are still there? I did delete and recopy all the information and was finally able to set up new playlists for his iPod. It was certainly frustrating and took pretty much all day to get this resolved.
