'Do not disconnect' screen won't go away.?

Question

When I tried to sync my iPod tonight it wouldn't appear in iTunes or on my desktop but still came up with the 'do not disconnect' screen. Since I couldn't see anywhere to eject the iPod I just pulled it out and was going to try again. Now it is still saying 'do not disconnect' and won't turn off, when I plugged it back into the computer it did nothing and the hard drive isn't spinning.

Any ideas about how to get rid of the 'do not disconnect' message? Thanks

Answer 3

mine does that, you are able to disconnect it at any time as long as that's no longer syncing. yet whilst some thing would desire to ensue, like it won't activate once you disconect it, purely carry the midsection button and the menu button on the comparable time till the apple style seems on the reveal screen. that would desire to restoration it.
