My iPod video has malfunctioned... I disconnected from PC but still it shows 'do not disconnect' . mine is 30gb ipod video. the local shop owners have refused to look whats wrong. i am in india and i don know where to get it serviced. i also tried to reset it but its possible, when i connect to pc it saays usb device malfunctioned and not able to recognise its so precious to me, !
Have you reset it? Hold the middle button, and press 'UP' on the click wheel. Have you reformatted it? Maybe try reflashing/updating the firmware?
When you disconnected the iPod from the PC, did you eject it first? (either via iTunes or right clicking the device and selecting "Eject"). I know that just ripping out the iPod without properly ejecting it can cause serious problems, hence the "Do not disconnect" message on screen.
u cud do a firmare format..thats most probably gonna fix it.. remember.,.never eject it without clicking eject in iTunes software...
I do this pretty much everytime I unplug my ipod It freezes my Nano sometimes (which is easily fixed), and doesn't seem to do anything to my tough old 4G.
I clicked the middle button and up on the click wheel simultaneously and now it got restarted and everything is OK.. I did try this step earlier, but may have been too nervous to do it properly. A 100 THANKS TO KEROSENE
Hallelujah! Gotta love it when electronics crap themselves - and are then brought back from the dead. Middle button + UP is the iPod equiv of CTRL ALT DELETE
