"iPod Cannot Be Ejected Because It Contains Files That Are In Use" - >_<
Good morning, everyone. I've been referring to this forum ever since I picked up a nice 20GB photo iPod a while back and I've gotten some great help simply by using the search tool.
I've got a 160GB Classic that I received for Christmas yesterday and I tried the search function already and it appears like a lot of people have been reporting this issue as far back as October/November. Some users were given responses that made sense and sounded like they should work (updating USB drives through device manager, checking disk defraggers, disabling antivirus software, returning iPod to factory settings) but none of them seem to work for me.
The full message reads as follows: iPod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application.
As to what this application is, I have no clue. I only know that yesterday morning everything was fine. I could eject the iPod whenever I wanted. Last night, I started getting the message that it couldn't be ejected - not even through the 'safely remove hardware' option through Windows.
When I click eject it will go to synchronizing again and then it will briefly say "OK to disconnect," before returning to the usual "Eject before disconnecting screen.
Does anyone have any advice?
