hello, is very simple like abc, at the task bar, beside the clock you will see a green arrow, click on it and select safely remove hardware. that all.

The "Do Not Disconnect" message will persist until the the iPod is fully charged. Even after this, the message will still persist - it just does this by default. As long as the spinning wheel in the far upper left-hand corner of your iPod screen no longer appears, the sync has been complete - as soon as it is fully charged, safely remove the hardware on your Windows desktop (or use the Eject button in iTunes - or both), and remove the iPod from your PC.

Hi. Please calm down and stop swearing in your post, as i don't think many people will want to help you unless you do. Getting angry and losing your temper will get you nowhere very fast. There are several possible reasons for your problem. Firstly, the "F" drive is your iPod Shuffle, but your Computer can't access it. Your Computer probably displays it as F: Removable Drive. Look at the blue bar at the bottom right of your Computer screen, near where the clock is. You should see a green arrow pointing slightly downwards. Move your mouse arrow on to it, and you should see the words 'Safely Remove Hardware' pop up there. Right - click the green arrow, and then left - click the words 'Safely Remove Hardware'. You should now see a window box with some USB information about you iPod Shuffle. Click the Troubleshooter, to see if it's working properly, following the relevant steps. By this point, if you're shouting at the screen asking "WHERE THE HELL IS THE GREEN ARROW ?", it's because something is still preventing your Computer from accessing the "F" drive. This usually means that either your iPod has been security-protected, which means it will only work on your friend's Computer, or the USB port you've been using is faulty. Try using a different USB port, to see if that corrects the problem. Another possibility is that the files on your iPod Shuffle are corrupted, in which case, try using it in your friend's Computer instead. Scan it for any viruses as soon as you can access the files on it, with AVG 7.5 Free Ed. You can get it free from www.filehipppo.com , You don't say if you got the iPod Shuffle from your friend, or just the i-Tunes software, but if the iPod works on his Computer, then the problem is either something related to your iPod Shuffle, or your Computer. Also, maybe you have a Virus or Spyware on your Computer. Get AVG 7.5 Free Edition and Spybot - Search and Destroy 1.6 from www.filehippo.com . Run a full Anti - Virus scan on your Computer, but don't uninstall the Anti-Virus program you already have, unless it's a McAfee or a Norton product. Make sure you download all the updates for AVG 7.5 Free Edition before you scan your computer, and ignore all requests to register it, as it's not neccessary. After you've done that, download Spybot - Search and Destroy 1.6, update it, and then scan your computer for spyware. You'd be surprised just how damaging spyware can be to your computer, if it's left for long enough. Anyway, i hope some of this helps you.

To safely remove any hardware you simply look down in the bottom right of your screen and right click the safely remove hardware symbol then left click the safely remove hardware button. however if you are asking how to make the taskbar show this icon so that you may do that you must simply right click anywhere on the taskbar or start button it dose not matter then click properties then click the button that says Customize then you must scroll down and find your icon in which you are looking for then click on the down arrow next to it and set it to Always Show then click apply then click ok.
Hope this solves your issue. if not please do not hesitate to respond to this.
