Automatically synchs- how do I make it stop?

My brother and I have very different tastes in music but share a library, so what we usually do is only synch certain playlists to our iPods. When I plugged mine into the computer today, though, it automatically started synching. I'm not entire sure what it was synching, since there wouldn't be enough room for the whole library. Anyway, I tried to click on my iPod under devices, and it wouldn't let me. Tried to cancel the synching, and it wouldn't let me. Took it out and tried again, but that wouldn't work either.
My only guess is that there's some sort of option to have it automatically synch when you plug it in, and somebody must have checked it. But how do I find and get rid of it?
I really can't stand my brother's music and don't want it on my iPod! Help!

Edit... Preferences... Devices tab.
Check *Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods*

How do I make this stop: "..Safari automatically completes it.."

How do I make Safari stop offering "suggestions" when I'm typing in the address bar? "If you type part of an address, Safari automatically completes it with a matching address from your bookmarks or browsing history." Even if I clear history, it still digs things up from history, and I don't need to see all this clutter.
Where is the setting for this?

Sorry sanjampet but this isn't helpful. Your references to "all the auto fill stuff" and "the stuff to the right" aren't obvious. I'm not using the AutoFill button on my toolbar anyway. The view>cutomize toolbar dialog box doesn't contain anything called "stuff." Is this an attempt to be funny?

On images that are long and narrow horizontally, iPhoto truncates them and automaticall crops off part of each end of the image. How can I make it stop?

On images that are long and narrow horizontally, iPhoto truncates them and automatically crops off part of each end of the image. the thumbnail has a jagged, serrated edge at both ends. How can I make it stop?

Then I do not get your problem - you can import the photo - you can find the photo and you can edit and save the photo - what more do you want?
By defination thumbnails are small images to help you find the large image - the large image is fine and you can find it fine - and you know it is only showing part of the image because of the "jagged ends"
If you think think that iPhoto should display long thumbnails suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto Feedback
as to your digital photoframe - contact them - in general gital photos frames display one and only one aspect ratio and any photo that is not in that aspect ratio will be modified to display - either cropped to the proper size for the frame or have 'White" space added to fill the frame - that function is totally controled by the Digital Photo frame and any otptions you have will be in the manual or on the support web site for the frame - to put it in old film terms - you can not put an 8x10 print in a 5x7 frame unless you cut the photo down (or a 8x15 photo in an 8x10 frame either)

Why does Firefox open 3 Tabs all the time when I open it? One is my home page but the other 2 are about plug in being installed. How do I make that stop?

When I double click Firefox to open it, 3 Tabs automatically open. One is my home page but the other 2 are about plug ins being successfully installed. I want for only my home page to open. How do I make this stop?

But there aren't any symbols. It's just set to http://www.yahoo.com
And every time I open Firefox, it opens with 3 Tabs, one of which IS Yahoo but the other 2 a regarding plug ins being successfully updated. I've even gone as far as to uninstall those plug ins and it still opens with 3. About ready to uninstall Firefox and stay with IE

Do you use iTunes with your iPad and if so, have you tried syncing your iPad with iTunes since you updated the iOS?

My nephew and I use the same iTunes account and when I add an app it is loaded on to his iPhone and vice versa... How do I make that stop?

My nephew and I use the same iTunes account and when I add an app it is loaded on to his iPhone and vice versa... How do I make that stop? I have already unchecked the "Auto Update Apps" button. It happens with all purchases in the app store and on iTunes. HELP!

I also think separate accounts is the way to go....if he is over 13yrs also remember if you do make an account for him and use your bank card all purchases will be charged to your card.

When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

You can't using Adobe Reader. It looks like whomever created the form used the same identifiers (names) for various fields. Each field with the same name will populate with the information used in another field of the same name. This is intentional.
Normally when I see this, it tells me that someone created an initial field then copy/pasted it to make additional fields but forgot to change the names.

Just restored my iPhone from iCloud. My wife and I have always shared one iCloud ID. But since my restore, when a call comes in, it rings on both my phone and hers. How can I make this stop?

Just restored my iPhone 5 from iCloud. My wife and I have always shared one iCloud ID. But since my restore, when a call comes in, it rings on both my phone and hers. How can I make this stop? We had it all set up fine before the restore, and there was a trick to it in the settings. I've noticed that since my restore, her phone has picked up what looks like the symbol of a phone in the upper right corner of the display, right next to the Bluetooth symbol.

Hi Big Slick,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
It sounds like your iPhones may be using a new feature in iOS 8 called Continuity. The following article and information explains how to set up this feature for phone calls. You can review the information on the setup to reverse this effect. My suggestion would be to turn off FaceTime on one of the devices.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
Phone calls
With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
Cheers,
Joe

you do have to actually define the area to be bounced in the dialogue window that comes up - there are some discrepencies in the way that the program behaves like that,
Apart from the "Include Audio Tail" function, which can leave Logic bouncing for a very, very long time, there are generally, no discrepancies regarding the Bounce Locators:
If Cycle is enabled, the bounce locators will be set to the cycle locators.
If Cycle is off, and regions are selected, the bounce locators will be set to the selection.
If cycle is off, and no regions are selected, the bounce locators will be set from the Project Start to the project end.
It is smart to actually check that the bounce locators are set where you would like them to be.

If you get caught with a bounce that does not stop, Command . (period) should do the trick.

When I open iMovie, the app searches for missing iPhoto files. These are files I deleted. I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie. How do I make this stop?

When I open iMovie (09), the app searches for missing iPhoto files. These are files I deleted. I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie. How do I make this stop?

So it seems the issue is when iMovie is wanting to creat thumbnails, if I ask it to ignore then it's fine but if not it hangs up searching for the video file.

My apps keep closing suddenly. How do I make this stop?

If I'm using an app, I can use it for a bit but then it suddenly closes. I was in the app store and it was doing the same thing. How do I make this stop?

Try this.
Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Whenever I open the browser, the check plugins page always opens in a second tab. How can I make this stop?

That is a bug with blocklisting plugins that has been fixed.<br />
You can correct this issue by forcing the file blocklist.xml to update or wait until Firefox updates the file.<br />
That update will remove the severity="0" flags in the file that cause the problem.
