Recorded here so that I can find it in the future. We have an iPod Classic 80Gb, and it’s not uncommon for the eject sequence to not quite work from iTunes or the PC, resulting in a perpetual “Do not disconnect” message.
I’m told this works on more than just our model.
- Make sure the iPod switch is not on Hold.
- Hold the Select and Menu buttons down for 4-5 (or maybe 10) seconds.
Voila. Reboot.
More info, and for other models.
