my mate just gave me his 40g ipod to see if i can transfer some movies over.
when i pluged it in itunes and my computer did not Recognized it after an hour I just had to disconnect it through the plug even though it had
The ‘do not disconnect’ message. After I unplugged it the message was still their so I just let the battery run out now it is completely off. Can someone tell me if I just mashed my mates ipod. If connects it or charges it through his computer will he be able to disconnect it safely or has he lost all his data?
:(

    You can't really "lose" his data since it's surely on his computer at home, And even if you somehow completely wreck the ipod through disconnecting it when it says not to, there's ways to reset the ipod, and there's ways to flash the ipod back to a factory state. I'm not sure there's ways of copying music off the ipod though ;)

    (Well, i know for a fact there are, but it's quite fiddly.)

    well the the idea was to let the battery run out then charge it for 10 mins
    to see what happens, but the 40g charger is a lot bigger the my 10g.

    i am not worried about if he loses his data more i hope his ipod starts and
    does not display that message and if it does he will be able to disconnect it
    through his computer

    just hold the middle and top button down together, it will reset itself, should be fine after that
