I have an iPod connected to an Apple Mac running SL (10.6.1) and am getting this message: The iPod  cannot be restored because it contains files in use by another application. 

Disk Utility won't work on it (can't unmount disk).

Grateful for any help

Hello martinfs,

You can restore your IPOD settings.  This might help you.

Thanks,

HELLO,

I've click on restore(for my ipod settings) and it doesn't want to work it always says:The iPod  cannot be restored because it contains files in use by another application. 

what can i do besides clicking on restore
                  thank you!

hello dinoo,

You can do the alternate method, go to my computer -> right click on the ipod device and click on format which will resolve your issue.

Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Charu

Hi I am having the same problem as dinoo... So I tried the format thing and my computer says "Windows was unable to complete the format"
=(

Hello Jesika,

Try this method from some other computer. there might be some error with your system.

Thanks,
Charu
