Cannot Eject iPod from OSX Leopard

Using a MBP with Leopard. Using a iPod Phot form like 3 years ago. I manually manage my songs but when i try to eject the iPod it says:

"The disk "xxxxx" is in use and could not be ejected. Try quitting applications and try again.

I have used the switcher to close all apps using Command Q. I also restarted the Finder. I am not sure what I am missing. I am a few months into my first mac and I just can't fugire this one out. Please help.

restart the mac.

Ha, thats it? Thats a very Windows like solution! Aren't Macs supposed to be better?

Try ejecting it from iTunes. That usually works for me.

that happens even if you use the eject button in itunes?

Yes even when I eject from iTunes. Is this is an issue because its an iPod formatted for Windows?

type from a terminal

diskutil unmount /etc/Volumes/yourIpodName

to see what error message it gives you from there
you can force the unmount even if there are opened files by typing

sudo diskutil unmount force /etc/Volumes/yourIpodName
