Disconnecting iPod from your computer

If iPod is enabled to be used as a hard disk, you must unmount it before disconnecting it from your computer, or if you want to listen to music using headphones. Disconnecting iPod from your computer without umounting it first can damage files.

To unmount iPod, select its icon in the iTunes source list, then click the Eject button.

If iTunes is not open, drag iPod's desktop icon to the Trash to unmount iPod.

If iPod is not enabled to be used as a hard disk, just unplug it to disconnect it.
