Does Sync trump Manual setting?

I have my iPod set to manual update due to a space issue (my music library has grown larger than its 40GB). But I miss the inclusion of the iPod's play count stats and so forth. If I go to the File menu and select Sync, will it just update that info, or will it defeat my Manual setting and try to load my entire library onto the iPod?

A bit more searching on Doug's Applescript for iTunes there is one called "Synch iPod-iTunes Data" that...
"Script synchronizes select data between your iPod and iTunes. The data that can be synchronized are "Date Last Played", "Play Count", "Rating" and "Comments". The data can be transferred from iPod to iTunes or the reverse, or can be synchronized between the two."
which might be able to allow you to remain with manual syncing AND sync playcounts back to iTunes.

Ooh ooh, just found another one called "Append iPod Play Count to iTunes Tracks" that...
"This script will add the Play Counts of either just the selected tracks or all tracks on an iPod to the corresponding tracks in iTunes. (For users who manually manage their iPod tracks.)"

2.0.1 update forcing library/iPod sync, despite "manual" setting

I just updated to iTunes 2.0.1, and it is now forcing me to sync my iPod with my iTunes Library - even though I have my iPod set to "Manually manage iPod music & videos."
If I try to bypass or cancel out of the sync, I get an error message claiming that it will erase all the unsynced music from my iPod.
If I agree to sync, but then stop the sync manually, and then go to delete the songs it's transferred from my iPod back into my library, I get this message: "are you sure you want to remove the selected songs from your iTunes library? These songs will also be removed from any iPod which synchronizes with your iTunes library."
This is frustrating. I don't have the space to keep 8 gigs of music on my computer - hence the reason for the iPod! I back the music up onto CD, keep it on my iPod, and then delete it from my iTunes library. Is there any way to get around this?!

try this. open iTunes, and then under Preferences (Edit > Preferences), under the Syncing tab, check *Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods* then try connecting again.

MS Exch Acc not syncing - manually setting it in iPhone or through iTune

Hi, I have confugured the MS Outlook in my personal laptop to work with my work email. The new iPhone seem to support MS Exchange account. Although I could setup my yahoo and gmail account pretty fast, I have failed to successfuly setup the MSEx account yet, both by manually setting it up in iphone or by opting to sync mail accounts through iTune which is supposed to copy the account settings details.
While setting it up manually it 'failed to verify account' whereas in the iTune under the 'Info' Tab for Mail Accounts option, although I tick to 'Sync selected email account from: Outlook', it never actually displays any account name, in the box below. It does show me this for Calendars and my iphone calendar syncs with my work calendar from Outlook on my laptop.
Those documented tips on the apple website like, if you have enterted the domain name then remove it and see if it syncs and if you don't have it entered and enter the domain name and 'see' if it syncs' hasn't helped. My outlook login does require the domain name so i have entered it in the phone too but after reading this tip i tried after remving it and it still couldn't retrieve emails.
I found some utility on apple website that is meant for confuguring the acount setups on your PC. 5.17 MB file size i downloaded the version for Windows but after installation I dont see any option in the menu where i could launch an 'application', set email account setting possibly with advanced/customised details which the phone email setup doesn't ask for.
Has anybody setup their work emails on iphone without any IT help from office? If yes was it as simple as fill the form and emails retrieved? Considering what I have tried so far am I missing step for successful setup or is there any other option left to setup MSEx emails? Please help.
Thanks and regards,
Ronak

I was browsing my account and saw thsi question i had posted long back. A couple of months back while at my attempts to setup my work email i was able to do this successfully. Not with the account details I had used during the Outlook setup for my laptop but with the details used for webmail. My employer also has webmail which one can use to access emailout of office network on the go. i keyed in the address ID and password and it worked. I was like wow and I tried so hard the other way.

When setting up sync how does sync manage information from two computers? Does it merge the information?

When setting up sync how does sync manage information from two computers? Does it merge the information?

Hi!
Yes, the way Sync works is that it puts all the Bookmarks together and pushes them to all your devices. Same with History.
You will not loose any information in any of your computers.

How does the "Manually Set EV"dialog box in "Merge to HDR Pro" work?

What is the "Manually Set EV"dialog box in "Merge to HDR Pro" for?
Do these values affect the HDR results?
Since the source images are chosen in the first dialog of "Merge to HDR Pro"
why do we need to set EV manually here?
Besides, after I tried different values to compare the results
the "Manually Set EV"dialog box has disappeared how can I get it back?
THANKS

If the files you are merging don't have metadata giving their exposure values (time, aperture, ISO), then MergeToHDR prompts you for the relative exposure values.
If your files have the metadata, then there is no need to enter the values manually.

In the Apple world, why does 'Sync' mean 'Erase' ??

I have some photos on my iPod, and a few applications. When I try to 'Sync' at work, iTunes 8.0.1 tells me that it will erase the content on the iPod and 'Sync' it to the current iTunes library, which does not contain any photos or apps.
Why does 'Sync' mean 'Erase' and is there a way around this?
I'm fine not syncing the photos, but I want to be able to add applications to the iPod from my work machine, and dragging the app icon from the iTunes Library to the iPod does not work.
Work computer is authorized...

Sync means sync. But it's a one-way sync, not two-way. That is, iTunes will, if it's set to automatic, sync your library to your iPod making it identical to the content on your computer. By demand of the content owners, way back when the iPods first came out (who by some ludicrous logic feared that it would promote piracy if it was easy to get tracks back off an iPod), though, the reverse isn't the case; iTunes will not sync your iPod back to your library on your computer (except for content purchased from the iTunes Store and for that there's a command; it doesn't happen automatically).
If you want to connect your iPod to more than one computer's iTunes library, set things up for manual control:

How you delete content from your iPod depends how you have it set to update:
If you are updating automatically then delete the files from the iTunes library and next time you connect they will automatically be deleted from your iPod. Highlight the file and press the delete key on your keyboard, or right click and choose either Clear or Delete, depending on which version of iTunes you are using.
If you are updating manually, connect your iPod and click on the icon when it shows in the iTunes 7 source list click on the chevron > to the left of the iPod icon This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the traditional song view. Find the files on your iPod that you want to remove, highlight them and delete directly.
To select multiple items such as all the songs in an album, click on the first track in the list hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight the selection. Then press the delete key.
To summarise, you start by highlighting the song/video/selection in either the iTunes library or on the iPod song list as displayed in iTunes then press the delete key on your keyboard: Deleting songs or playlists from your iPod

HT1202 Can I still sync music manually using itunes 11.0.1?

Can I still sync music manually using itunes 11.0.1? The copy and paste AND drag and drop methods don't seem to work any more. Why does Apple make itunes so hard to use?

Thanks, but no dice. When I check Maunal manage, I get the dialog about erasing the phone and syncing to this computer. The only thing I can think of is to make sure my home machine is also set to manual sync. Although, I was able to manual sync just fine until I upgraded itunes to 11.0.1

Multiple ipods on 1 computer - sync. v. manual

Hello! I set up an itunes account for my wife's nano on our computer where I already have an itunes account. I have created a separate itunes account for her, and I have copied my libarary onto her account. Once I plug in her nano into itunes, I get a bubble reminding me that her nano is already synced to another computer. I am asked if I want to delete the music on her ipod to sync to the new libary. After I click "no" her ipod appears on itunes, but the music cannot be accessed, and I cannot add songs from her new libary onto the ipod. Do I need to change the ipod settings from "sync" to "manual" so I can remove and add songs to her ipod? And will that delete any songs on her ipod if I do that?

Just plug them in.

No network on 309a, no manual set either!!

just picked my new 309a printer, i want to connect it to my router so it can be shared with the laptop downsatirs etc. wnr 2000 netgear router
when plugged in is does not even recognise that its plugged in to the router ( no lights on the network port on back).
i cannot manual set the IP etc. as it wont save ot and just goes back to 000.000.000.000 every time.
i have tried different network cables and different ports etc but still no luck. i have a real old hp 2600n laser printer which is about 4 years old and even that connected in 2 mins to the network no problems...
plus my iphone does not find the blue-tooth on the printer!!! ( is it compatible with an iphone so i print stuff direct from the phone on blue-tooth )

Turn off the wireless radio on the printer (so the blue light goes out). Make sure the cables are completely pushed in on both ends.
If all this fails, reset the printer by turning it off, hold # and 6 keys while and a bit after turning it back on.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Why does the eyedropper tool set the background color swatch instead of the foreground?

Whenever I try to use the eyedropper tool in Photoshop CS5, the eyedroper sets the background color instead of the foreground. I know you can swap the colors with the arrows, but Photoshop used to be able to just put the color in the foreground swatch without me doing any extra manual work. How do I restore it?

Click on Windows and color. There is a setting there to change from
foreground to background. The one with the box around it is the default setting.

How does syncing Notes work with Mountain Lion ?

How does syncing Notes with Mountain Lion?

Notes are synched via IMAP. IMAP is a protocol most frequently used by email.
So if you have an iCloud account and have set up a @me.com email address, that's what is used to sync. For Gmail, that can be used as well, though Gmail's IMAP support has to be enabled on their site and their implementation is very nonstandard and can be problematic. Best is to sync notes via iCloud.

Manually set Tab Order

Is there a simple way to manually set the tab order for a few fields?
Example: 2 page form . On first page, tab thru #1-5, then tab to ONE field on page 2 then jump back to page 1 to continue? Im using Adobe Designer 7.0

Take a look at the discussions on this thread:

Manually setting up size for shapes or stroke width bug

Hi everybody,
Since I installed Photoshop CC 2014 I have the most annoying problem.
I can't seem to change the sizes of my shapes or the stroke width manually.
So let's say I created a square of 150x150 and I want a new size of exactly 126x126, I can't write the exact size in the top field.
I write it and, once I press tab to leave the field, it puts back the previous value.
Same for stroke width. I'm obliged to use the slider to be able to change the width of my stroke - which obviously is everything but precise.
I don't know if I missed something but this is the first time is happening since I'm using Photoshop.
Thanks for your help!
Doro.
UPDATE 29/01/15
This is coming a bit late but it seems we found where the bug is coming from.
I'm using a macbook pro retina 13 with a french keyboard. To type a number I need to press shift + the number.
So to get back to my example I want to change the size of 150px to 126px. I would write the number 126 in the size field and to do so I would need to press the button shift + 126. The fact is that once you're interacting with the size field in the top menu, it seems that the shift button triggers the path operation "combine shapes" and overrides my action of typing a number.
Let us know if you can do something about it.

hi Y. BIG time thank you for this. i was not aware this was such an issue. i definitely cannot have any ambiguities in my spreadsheet and customizing it in numbers is the whole reason i am spending this time formatting (i.e. to make it intuitive and visual).
that said, if accepting excel and then exporting to excel will cause problems i absolutely cannot have this.
can you help me a little more on what the problems are? i have already got a file with two tabs directly imported from Quickbooks (by my book keeper in excel) and a tab that she set up that pulls data from these tabs - and then i have MY tab that i have been customizing and proofing and fixing as i go along. more info on this work below.
are there commands i can run to clean this up?
what is considered OK to do in numbers if i am accepting excel (printing? adding new numerical entries)?
THANK YOU
background: right now i am /mostly/ doing formatting things like adding bold outlines or adding color or whatever but i have /also/ been dragging and dropping some rows to put them in a better place and fixing some cell sums that were either left out by my book keeper or which needed to be added to check THEIR work. are you saying that by doing this i am setting myself up for various formatting issues such as merged cells?
if so, once i finish the format of the spreadsheet and the tabs i can only exclusively open in numbers if this is necessary. are there some commands i can run to "clean up" issues? for instance can i go around the various tabs and unmerge cells to clean things up?
also, i definitely cannot split up tabs into individual documents as the customized spreadsheets are pulling numbers from a set of tabs that are quickbooks imports....
