Connecting a synced iPod without updating (this time)

How do I connect my iPod 5th gen to my mac without syncing the iTunes library. My library is already synced, but I deleted teh wrong thing from my library, and if I sync my iPod, I'll lose it from there also. I remember you have to hold some buttons on the iPod, but I can't remember which. Please help!

Press the Option and Command keys on a Mac or the Shift and Control keys in Windows.

  • Syncing iPod without updating iTunes?

    I recently just bought a new iTouch and tried to sync it to my Mac iBook (Mac OS X version 10.4.11 [I know]) and it told me I could not use the iTouch with my current update of iTunes (9.something). when I tried to download the new update to my computer, I was told my computer did not support this new update. is there any way to work around this?

    No.  OSX 10.4.11 only suppor iTunses 9.x.  You need at least 10.5 for iOS 5.
    If you computer meets these requirements you can update it to 10.5.8
    Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    512MB of memory
    DVD drive for installation
    9GB of available disk space
    10.5.8 is a paid update and you have to call Apple to order it.  It is not listed in the on-line Store.  Price is $129.

  • HT3805 buy book feature not working "a connection could not be established at this time etc...." How do I fix this? I am running Mountain Lion with Aperture 3.3.2

    I have the same problem as many of you on this forum,
    Aperture will not allow me to buy a book. It says a connection could not be established at this time.
    I have a 2011 17in MBP, running Mountain Lion, Apertaure 3.3.2 purcahsed from the App Store, a 100Mb network connection, based in Staffordshire UK. It acts the same over wifi or ethernet, e.g a connection could not be established at this time.  It makes no difference if I am signed into the App store or not.
    I have spent 5 days preparing my Wedding album images for a 30 page book with lots of adjustments, therefore, I am desperate to fix this and as I paid £55 for the software I want it to work.
    Can anyone help?
    Regards
    Tim

    I still don't know what happened to my test Aperture Library after the update to 3.4...Not only were my previews lost, but so were the original images!  Needless to say, I haven't bothered to update the main library on the Mac Pro because I don't want to deal with this level of uncertainty (even with backups in place).

  • "A connection could not be established at this time."  Book Ordering Issue

    Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I have not been able to Buy a Book via Aperture. Whenever I click on the Buy Book Button I get the following error message:
    "A connection could not be established at this time. Please ensure your network connection is active and try again." The network connection is fine etc etc.
    I tried creating a new user account but this did not solve the problem. I have opened iphoto and the same problem exists there. Apple help desk want to charge me £180 to fix a problem which will allow me to spend more money ordering books with them. Any ideas how I can fix this?

    Apparently there's some extensive maintenance taking place which affects the ordering segment - I'm running into the same issue. I'm guessing it might be back up later this evening. Will try then.

  • A connection could not be established at this time

    I've been trying for the last three days to order some prints --- (which I've done MANY times in the past).
    Aperture appears to be uploading everything but ultimately stops and tells me "A connection could not be established at this time"
    I'm fully connected (proof, you're reading this message!) and so I have no idea what's wrong.
    Can't find anyone at Apple to call for help.
    Any ideas?

    I just had this same problem. I have spent the last 7 days working on my print order. I am running Aperture 3.3.1. There are a lot of people out there that have had this same issue. This is what I was able to determine while on the phone with Apple Print Service Support.
    (1) Check the number of images you have selected for your order. I had an order with 152 images (almost 300 prints) and it failed to order. I had broken that order into another order with 101 images and it was successful. I had another order with only 74 images and it was successfull. In both success cases I had more than 152 prints made. The first was 154 and the second 165 prints. So it is not the number of prints, but the number of images.
    (2) Wifi. I was informed that some people have problems with WIFI connections. I was on a hard line, or ethernet connection. So this was not my issue. I thought I would mention it because it was discussed.
    (3) Close all other applications. This might help to free up resources on the computer and make the process go a little smoother.
    (4) Check the Activity window. Go to Window>>Show Activity. This will open the Activity windows. If your order is not displayed in there with a status of Uploading, then the order never left the computer. This was the real issue I was having. I got this error after the order preperation was completed. I was never able to press the done button because of the error. The error also caused the upload to cancel. It is very frustrating because there were no places in Aperture to determine more regarding the error, or the status of the last order submission. Would be nice if the Activity windows showed that order as failed.
    (5) Size and mixed orders. I noticed (in my second 74 image order) that with mixed order sizes it takes a lot longer to process. I had several 8x10 and 5x7 prints. As well as 4x6 and wallet images. This complex order of print sizes caused the smaller image count order to take a lot longer to go from start to finish. It would appear the 8x10s may have contributed to that because of their size.
    (6) Hate to bring this up. It is not really related to the problem, but make sure you crop your images to the correct aspect ratio before ordering. I did not have this problem, but have made that mistake in the past. You cannot select an image that is formated for 4x6, print it as a 5x7 and expect it to come out normal and perfect. Crop them first. This creates another problem. The order application, tool, window (what ever it is called) does not provide indications of what the image is being displayed. Another words I have the same image as a 4x6 and 8x10. I rename the image to duplicates to have the aspect ratio in the name. However, in the order tool there is no way to view the file name. You can have two images that look very similar (5x7 and 8x10 for example) and not be able to determine which is the correct aspect ratio for the print selection. To work around this problem I had to print a contact sheet of those images as a pdf and then have it open while I entered my order. When I ran into this situation I would compare the order window image to the contact sheet and figure out a good guess for the image. At least it is better than not being able to see anything.
    Hope all this helps. Hopefully something will help you get your order done. I think that both (1) and (6) are software defects in Aperture. I think that Apple should fix those issues. That does not mean that they will be investigated, but I believe this problem you are experiencing, and I did too, is a software defect.
    Best Regards,

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers

  • Cannot sync iPod since updating to iTunes 7.1

    My iPod is a 5th generation video model. I recently updated to iTunes 7.1 and when I first connected my iPod, it went to update the iPod software and then I got an error message "iPod cannot update - error (-48). Now, most of the time, iTunes doesn't even recognize when I plug in my iPod. I will try uninstalling and reinstalling my older version of iTunes, but I wondered if anyone else has run into this issue.

    Clarification...it says iPod cannot sync - error (-48).
    When I use the iPod Updater program it tells me my software is up to date.

  • Syncing iPod without all files on the computer.

    What happens when I sync my iPod without having all the songs that are on the iPod not on the computer? I'd like to add songs from CDs without having to copy to my hard drive. HD space is limited, but I'd like to load up my iPod Classic 60GB.
    Thanks

    *I'd like to add songs from CDs without having to copy to my hard drive.*
    You'll still have to import your CDs to iTunes and your computer or you'll not be able to put them on the iPod but you can delete them once that is done.
    If you want to delete songs from iTunes and keep them on the iPod you need to change the update option of your iPod to "manually manage music and videos" (this setting isn't available for an iPod shuffle, you can't delete from iTunes and keep the songs on the shuffle). The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different, you can get details here:
    Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    iPod - Syncing Music
    One major word of caution. If you delete songs or videos from your computer and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an additional internal or external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up anything you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD: How to back up your media in iTunes
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod
    Don't delete anything until you have changed the update option. If by any chance you do however you can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Once you are connected the settings can be changed: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows

  • How to sync iPod without losing music? (Lost external hard drive, which I used as a source)

    I stored my iTunes library on my external hard drive, which held music purchased through iTunes, other sources, and personal music files.
    My external hard drive recently broke. I will have to rebuild my library, but I have some things I'd like to add to my iPod. If I sync it now (the songs still show up in my library on iTunes, but there are no files to support them), will I lose all those? Previously, there have been times where I synced my iPod without my external hard drive and it kept them as long as I didn't delete them from the library or uncheck them. The only thing was that if I did remove them, I wouldn't be able to put them back. Does it still work like that?
    I'd rather not risk all my music to put 4 songs on, if it won't work, you know?

    However, the rebuilding you did may have resulted in the iPod seeing the library as a new library. You can only sync with one library/computer. In that case:

  • How to sync Library without updating iPod library

    I somehow lost the ability to sync my iPod by just updating the main Library.
    Now all the sudden when I plug in iPod, I see "Music" and all my playlists listed under the device and have to update that music through the main Library.

  • Network Connection Was Refused - PLEASE help me this time...

    To be perfectly honest, I'm quite irritated. I want answers. And if there is no answer, I want someone to tell me such. I've posted three times before, twice on someone else's topic, and once on my own. This is my last ditch effort. PLEASE help me. I really enjoy the use of your product, and I don't want to give up on it.
    Many people are having issues with their network connection. I know I'm not the only one. Some diagnostics say the connection to iTunes works, but for some reason still won't open the music store. In my case, it says it isn't.
    I went to my parents' house this holiday and stole their broadband high speed internet connection, hoping that the new connection might make iTunes work. Nope. So now I'm fresh out of ideas.
    Here is the information I posted on an earlier post below. PLEASE help me answer my question. I'm really missing my iTunes. It's been a long time since I've had it, and there are a bunch of songs I plan to download if I am able to get it back. Thank you so much!
    I downloaded the newest version of iTunes, without realizing that there were so many problems with it. The installation went off without a hitch, and it was able to open up my library. However, whenever I try to access the music store, the message "iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network connection was refused. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again" appeared. I tried redownloading it, but that didn't solve the problem. I got frustrated, and finally was able to download 7.01. That didn't work either. So I downloaded the older version that I used to have. The same error message appeared. NOW I'm mad, because I can't even get the older version back. I want my older version back... I never had a problem with your products before, but right now I'm slowly losing faith. PLEASE help me.
    I can't run a diagnostics on my network connection anymore, but I had posted my first diagnostics on the old post, referencing back to when I was still trying to fix the newest version. I'll post the diagnostics below the post.
    I have a wireless connection, since I live in an apartment complex right now. I didn't have the same connection type when I first downloaded iTunes a year or more ago, but I was able to work iTunes under this connection before I uploaded.
    Please help me. I want my music store back.

  • Cannot sync iPod after updating to 10.4.1 for windows. Help?

    I recently updated to iTunes 10.4.1 for Windows 7 on my PC and now I can no longer sync my iPod. Once it starts syncing music, I get an error message that says "iTunes Has Stopped Working" and it does not give me any kind of resolution to the problem. I have uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes and all other Apple software from my computer but I'm still running into the same issues after I've reinstalled everything. Does anyone know why this might be happening and how I can resolve the issue? I've researched the issue and it seems like a lot of people are running into this and I haven't found any kind of universal fix yet.
    Thanks

    Upgraded to iTunes 10.5 and it syncs fine now so if anyone else is having the problem, that's the only solution I've found out there.
    PS - Posting on these forums appears to be pretty useless!

  • Can I sync iPod without music files accessible?

    I'm traveling with my laptop but not my external HD which stores almost all my music. (The original My Music folder exists on my C: drive with one or two files in it.) I know it's okay to boot up iTunes anyway, since podcasts update to the default original folder in that case. BUT I'm also wondering if it's safe to sync up to get those podcast updates on my iPod --- I don't want to have to click "OK" for every single one of 4000 files it might say it "can't locate", or, God forbid, have iTunes try to erase anything from the iPod! Is it safe to sync and let the new podcasts upload onto the iPod under the circumstances, or will I risk causing myself a huge problem??
    Thanks!

    I know this won't be much assurance, because I can't guarantee it, but in my experience, files with next to them will result in an error in iTunes (the song "whatever" was not found, and won't be updated on the iPod), but if the file is already on the iPod it is not removed.

  • A new firmware update this morning and now all my backups are missing?  How to re-connect?, A new firmware update this morning and now all my backups are missing?  How to re-connect?

    This morning I noticed my time capsule was blinking amber.  I opened utility and I found that all of the airport devices needed a firmware update.
    I ran that with no problems.  I then found tonight that my time capsule had "delayed" backup and said it couldn't find the disk.  I re-pointed it to the TC and it says I have no backups and wants to start from scratch.  This is a concern and a bit annoying.
    Any way to find my previous backups and reconnect it?
    Thanks.

    Looking in the time capsule preferences, it looks like the name of the disk has slightly changed to add a "3" at the end.  Not sure how to change it back.
    When I use airport utility and look at the disk, it says something like half the disk has been used, so obviously my backups are still there.  Just not sure how to re-connect so backups aren't lost or duplicated.
