Question about iPOD video

answermyquestion · 12-30-2006, 04:26 PM

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this. Anyway, I just picked up an 80g iPOD video and since I put it on my computer it has said "Do Not Disconnect" on the iPOD. It has been saying that for over 12 hours now (still says that when I'm waking up now), and I don't know what to do. I've already put some music on it, and tried closing iTunes, but it still says it. Thanks in advance everyone.

you could jst try taking it out, im sure its not going to break it, this happened with my friends creative zen once, but we took it out and it was fine.

Ignore it, just take it out.

Thank you both. It's working now. I have another question though. I'm reading my apple book I got with it and it says I can buy a USB 2.0 card so it can transfer faster (I have only USB 1.1). I noticed that it took a while to put songs on it so I think I will buy one. It said to go to www.apple.com/ipodstore. I went there and I can't find what I'm looking for. So can you guys help me find a USB 2.0 card to buy. Thanks in advance again.

Whatever you do, don't buy anything from Apple. They're guaranteed to have exorbitantly high prices on everything.

Thank you very much, I'd be nowhere without you. Do you think it would work with my computer? Is there a way I find out?

Bobo · 12-30-2006, 05:14 PM

Yea except that it's a lot cheaper from Newegg.

It will definitely work, as long as you have an open PCI slot.

How can I check if I have an open PCI slot? Or should I just trust I have atleast one because I have never opened up my computer and installed anything?

Just open up the case, and look in the bottom left. If you see an offwhite slot open, then the answer is yes.

That's what they look like.
