iPod ipod stuck on the 'do not disconnect' screen

[rowanhall]

hey there!

my sister has just came in with her mini, itunes (pc) would not eject the ipod and neither would the remove hardware wizard.

as a consequence it is stuck on the 'do not disconnect' screen!

any ideas?

is theres a reset combination or anything?

cheers
Rowan

You can reset the mini by toggling the hold button on/off then hold menu and 'enter' in for like four or five seconds.

Edit: menu, not play...

thats for the speedy reply. i gave that a go and it didn't seem to work?

Didn't the mini restart? Not too strange, as I think I gave you wrong directions...

You should toggle the hold button from open to hold and back (like I said above), then hold the enter (middle) and the menu "button" in for 4 or 5 seconds... (The screen should go blank for a little while, than show the Apple logo for a while, then come up again with your default menu).

Sorry about that...

You're welcome...

The brain usually kicks in on the second or third try...
