Different sync settings for different podcasts?

Here's a dilemma: From what I can figure so far, if you choose a Sync option (from the Podcast tab for your iPod when it's connected to iTunes), that option will apply to ALL of the podcasts you are sync-ing to your iPod - whether that's one, several, or all your podcasts. Well, what if you want different sync instructions for different podcasts?
For example, is there a way to have iTunes do the following, all at once, on the same iPod:
Sync only the "1 most recent" episode from Podcasts A, B, and C,
...AND...
Sync "all" episodes from Podcast D.
Because, seems to me, to keep all of the episodes of show D on iPod, you have to either have every episode of shows A, B and C loaded (which you don't want), or else have ONLY show D load (with not even the latest episodes from shows A B and C, which you WOULD like to have).
Would this require setting up a Smart Playlist for each show, or am I overlooking some other (obvious?) way of achieving separate sync instructions? Anxious for your insights.

josh,
i came on here looking for the same answer...this is probably the single most lame setting (or lack thereof) in itunes...I love apple and i'm a mac enthusiast who has converted 2 friends in the past 3 months, and i think they've done this for simplicity's sake, but it drives me up a wall to have a universal "keep" setting. The "Do Not Delete" is not enough, i'd love to have different keep settings for my podcasts.

Different "Keep" Settings for Multiple Podcasts

Anyone know a way to set the Keep settings for podcast son a case-by-case basis? I know you can set it to something minimal like most recent, last 3, etc. for your whole podcast library and then choose the Do Not Auto Delete option by right-clicking on individual podcasts to keep all the episodes of the selected podasts.
However, I have many podcasts that, for now, I want to keep all episodes; I have one podcast I'd like to set to only keep the most recent; and one podcast I'd like to set to keep the last 10 episodes.
Any workarounds, or AppleScript options that people know of? I checked out Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes, but didn't find anything there. Thanks!

Different sync settings for 2 aTVs from 1 iTunes library

Is it possible to have separate sync settings for 2 different aTVs using the same itunes library?
I'd like to view movies and TV shows only from the aTV in my bedroom but I'd like to see all my iTunes content on the aTV in my den? Is this possible without streaming? Can the iTunes library sync one way with the den aTV and a different way with the bedroom aTV?

Yes, absolutely.

Your only limitation here would be the size of the tv HDD, if your library is larger than the space on the tv drive then you will need to stream some content.

Is there a way on how to create different Synch settings for iPhone / iPad

Okay,
My first time in this forum. I have an iPad and an iPhone. Everytime I sync my iPad and my iPhone with iTunes the sync settings are the same in both devices. So everytime I sync devices Apps that I have in my iPad show up in iPhone and vice versa. Is there a way to create different sync settings for my iphone and iPad?. Basically I do not want Apps from my iPads to be synched with iPhone and Apps that I have in my iPhone to be synched with my iPad. It is kind of annoying that everytime I synch I have to remove apps from my iPhone.
Can I also do the same for playlists?

Each device has its own set of sync preferences. What you may be seeing is the result of the Automatically sync new Apps option listed underneath the list of apps on the Apps tab. Untick this for each device next time you sync and then purchases made on one device won't automatically turn up on the other. You shoud also make sure automatic downloads are disabled in Settings > iTunes & App Stores.

Is it possible to have different settings for different podcasts?

I know that you can change the setting for podcasts on iTunes - things like how often they're checked for new episodes and whether they're all kept or deleted after listening.
But some podcasts are more timely, like news programs, and I would like to delete those when they get old. Others are "keepers" and I would like to keep them indefinitely. I know I can go back and manually delete individual episodes, but that's kind of a pain.
So is it possible to change the settings for individual podcasts?
Thanks.

Thanks. There is an option for allowing or not allowing auto-delete, which looks like it may be what I want. I'm giving it a try.

Different rich text/plain text settings for different accounts?

I use Mail for both my work email (MS Exchange) and my personal email (webmail/IMAP). Many of my coworkers use Outlook's rich text formatting options, so I need to have my work emails go out as rich text. However I'd like to have my personal emails go out as plain text.
I can set Mail to create new messages in plain text, but to reply in the same format of the original message. That takes care of everything EXCEPT when I compose a new message using my work address... in that case it goes out as plain text, and my coworkers complain that they can't use formatting, because their copies of Outlook are in turn configured to reply in the same format as the original message.
So ideally what I'd like is to have two different formatting settings for my two different accounts. Anyone know how this might be done? Any plugins, etc., that might accomplish this?

Since you are running Jaguar, Jaguar and Panther Mail do not support composing in HTML and this includes when forwarding a message received that was composed in HTML.
Since Jaguar and Panther Mail do not support composing or forwarding HTML, you can't embed images or photos in the message body anyway.
RTF with Tiger Mail is really HTML and although Tiger Mail does not include an HTML composer/editor, you can copy/paste HTML format from a web page and forward HTML received.
Images/photos and single page PDF attachments are revealed as inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default which cannot be turned off. This applies to received and sent messages which is not the same as being embedded. Embedded requires HTML and an embedded attachment is not a true attachment. All Mail.app versions render HTML received but you cannot attach a photo or image as embedded with Jaguar or Panther Mail so it doesn't matter if you use RTF or Plain Text in regards to photo/image or single page PDF attachments which appear as inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default regardless.
When you use Plain Text for message composition, the receiving mail client renders the text in whatever font the reader chooses.
IMO, everyone should use Plain Text for message composition. Messages would be boring to some but the majority if not all problems experienced with email would be eliminated if HTML was banned from message composition.

Different settings for different projects

Hi,
I'm wondering why it is that Final Cut Pro cannot keep different AV setups and scratch disks for different projects. I am working with several different projects on my computer. Some in PAL, some in NTSC, some capturing from Betacam, others from DV, and all having different capture settings, including different scratch disks.
Every time I open a different project, I have to reset every one of these things...you'd think it was an incredibly basic thing to have these things "remembered" by project, so that you didn't have to reconfigure everything every time you switched (even with making an Easy Setup it's a pain). Or maybe it IS incredibly basic and I'm just missing something?
Thanks in advance for shedding light on this subject!

Thanks for the response...that is a good suggestion, I might try that if it turns out to be quicker to switch user than to switch settings each time.... I'll have to think through the implications, like permissions and such, to make sure I don't dig the hole deeper. But I like the idea because I do need to digitize to different drives as they get disconnected from my system and travel to different places, heheh...
This is something I've hated about FCP for years and years...today I was thinking about it and thought, it can't be, it's just such a basic thing, available in so many applications...I must be wrong and there must be a way to do it that I don't know about! I mean, for me it's enough to want to take the Pro off the end of Final Cut Pro. For people who use this tool in the industry I'd say it's almost a must-have. I mean, you can work without it, but it IS a big pain!
In any case, thanks for your help!

Sync settings for podcasts.

Hi. Could someone please tell me the correct sync settings for podcasts. I listen to them on the iPhone and when I sync, instead of deleting they are all marked as unread. Should I sync "all" (assuming that between the iPhone and the iMac, they will sort out has been read), "unread" so that only the unread ones are left untouched, or "new" so the previous ones are left untouched and marked as unread. I sometimes have quite a backlog and it is a drag going through them all to find the ones that I have already heard.
Thanks.

I just deleted on the iPhone some of the ones I had heard. I then did a sync and lo and behold, the episodes were back on the iPhone.
So, I understand this is not a two-way sync. The iMac copies to the iPhone and any intervention on the phone does not seem to make a difference.
My setting in itunes are default setting for all podcasts (keep all unplayed episodes).
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you

So how to specify different answer file for different install images in WDS snap-in?

hello
in WDS snap-in, in properties on server name, on client tab, we can define an answer file for unattended windows installation on WDS clients.
my question is, maybe we have added multiple images in WDS snap-in (win xp image, win 7 , win 2008,...)
now this one answer file applies to all of them ?
so how to specify different answer file for different install images in WDS snap-in?
thanks in advanced

Under the "Client" tab of WDS, you should only use an answer-file with settings relevant for the installation. This would be credentials for the WDS deployment share, international settings used during the setup and possibly also destination drive
details (if you want the installation to take care of partitioning the disk etc). The settings relevant for unattend-files used under "Client" would only be of those in phase 1 (WinPE).
However, if you would like to have specific unattend file for every installation, e.g. Win7, Server 2008, Win 8 etc, you can browse to the image under "Install Images" under the image Groups. There you can select properties for every image and
have a personal unattend-file.
hi Joel
very cool. thanks a lot, that really helped me.

Btrfs with different file systems for different mount points?

Hey,
I finally bought a SSD, and I want to format it to f2fs (and fat to boot on UEFI) and install Arch on it, and in my old HDD I intend to have /home and /var and try btrfs on them, but I saw in Arch wiki that btrfs "Cannot use different file systems for different mount points.", it means I cannot have a / in f2fs and a /home in btrfs? What can I do? Better use XFS, ZFS or ext4 (I want the faster one)?
Thanks in advance and sorry my english.

pedrofleck wrote:Gosh, what was I thinking, thank you! (I still have a doubt: is btrfs the best option?)
Just a few weeks ago many of us were worrying about massive data loss due to a bug introduced in kernel 3.17 that caused corruption when using snapshots. Because btrfs is under heavy developement, this sort of thing can be expected. That said, I have my entire system running with btrfs. I have 4 volumes, two raid1, a raid0 and a jbod. I also run rsync to an ext4 partition and ntfs. Furthermore I make offline backups as well.
If you use btrfs make sure you have backups and make sure you are ready to use them. Also, make sure you check sum your backups. rsync has the option to use checksums in place of access times to determine what to sync.

Different ring tones for different email accounts

Is it possible to set different ring tone for different email accounts?

No - but you can change the sound for the email the notification in the settings .... Settings>General>Sounds>New Mail> and select another sound from the list, but that will use the same sound for all of your email accounts.

ITunes looses photo sync settings for Apple TV (1st gen.)

Since the update to the new Photo app on my Mac, iTunes forgets the photo sync settings for my Apple TV (1st. generation, 160 GB HDD).
Every time I open the photo section of the Apple TV sync settings, all the options are turned off. Then I mark a couple of albums and sync the Apple TV >> all album appear on the Apple TV.
But after closing and re-opening iTunes in the photo settings everything is unmarked again. So on every following sync the photos on the Apple TV are easily erased :-( Resync them to the Apple TV takes hours (>30'000 photos!).
All the other sync settings in iTunes remain intact.
Environment:
- MacBook Pro Retina 15" with the latest SW (Mac OS, iTunes, Photo App, etc.)
- Apple TV 1st gen 160 GB HDD

Restarting iTunes resolves the issue in the majority of cases, if it doesn't my second guess would be your security software.
What really seems strange here is that there have been no updates since well before Xmas, so after initially setting it up, the first update would have brought you right up to the most recent (and indeed the very last) .
Agh, how silly of me, I see it's iTunes you have updated.
If that's about all you've changed, you might want to try reinstalling iTunes and bonjour.

Hi I have two questions. I am using NAS 4.1 and was wondering is it possible to set a different session timeout for different users? How is the session timeout set? Thanks, YS

<i>I am using NAS 4.1 and was wondering is it possible to set a different session timeout for different users?</i>
Um, there is no such thing as NAS4.1.
I'm assuming that you mean NAS4.0 (maybe NAS4.0sp1?). If so, then the session timeouts are specified in the session section of the NTV configuration files.
AFAIK, you can specify session timeouts on a per user basis.

S4 Sync settings for email no longer available after update

After the Verizon Galaxy S4 Kit Kat update: I can no longer sync my email accounts. I get a "email sync turned off" message. when I go to the SYNC settings (stttings-accounts-email-settings-account settings-sync settings) there is NO option to turn sync setting back "ON"

Hello hdlane, let's get to the bottom of this together! To turn on sync settings for email, scroll down from the top of the home screen. At the top right there is a button with three squares & two arrows facing in opposite directions. This is the "More Settings" section. Press this option and it iwill open a list. Near the bottom of the list turn on sync and the emails will update.
