I haven't seen this error discussion previously. The error states "Nano cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application". Can anyone help solve/fix this problem?
iPod nano (7th generation), Windows 7
Greetings garyfromnormal,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to eject an iPod from iTunes for Windows. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
How to eject an iPod - Apple Support
If your iPod doesn't eject
If the iPod display continues to indicate that it shouldn't be disconnected, use the method below to eject your iPod:
Windows
- Windows XP and Windows 2000: Double-click My Computer.
Windows Vista: From the Start menu, click Computer.- Right-click the iPod icon.
- From the shortcut menu, choose Eject.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care
Thanks. This is what I have been doing the last couple of weeks. Prior to a couple of the July iTunes Updates, I never had to do this.
Since the iTunes Updates, this is an everyday issue. I am thinking it has something to do with iTunes and not my iPod or Windows.
Hey garyfromnormal,
So Windows will recognize the device and eject it normally. This began recently after a few updates to the computer. The iPod still works normally. I would recommend that you follow this article, songs you've imported from CDs or purchased from iTunes won't be deleted by removing and reinstalling iTunes.
Have a good one
