I'm not new to iPods (have a 4G), but I did get a new 5.5G 80 GB for Christmas. Just loaded all my songs and podcasts onto it, without a problem until the last second. iTunes claims the update is complete, but for some reason will not switch to the next screen where it normally should say, "OK to Disconnect." Since iTunes remains on the "Update is complete" screen the iPod itself still says "Do not disconnect." I've tried ejecting the iPod in iTunes with the eject button. Each time I press that button, I get the message that tells me I can't eject the iPod because it's suposedly "in use by another application", which can't be possible as it's only being used by iTunes itself. So, how can I get iTunes to move from "udate is complete" (which it seems to be stuck on) to "OK to Disconnect" in order to eject it safely? Any help would be greatly appreciated as soon as possible, especially since I don't want to have to leave my iPod connected to the computer for the rest of the night. Thanks in advance.
Edited to add: I think I should probably add that after I loaded everything onto the iPod I let iTunes also upate the firmware. Apparently, it didn't come with 1.2.1 and I figured I might as well have it on there. Now, I almost wish I hadn't done that, because immeadiately after the firmware update installed this problem began. Once the firmware fully installed Windows was opening the iPod in Disk mode, which is probably why I can't eject properly in iTunes now, correct? Should I eject it within Windows via the My Computer window now?
