Have to Disable Syncing Every Time

I had tried syncing my Touch and .mac account (I refuse to call it MobileMe) with my MacBook Pro, but ran into problems because my Windows Mobile 5 phone and enterprise Exchange server were also being synced which turned everything into a jumbled mess. I ended up with 6 to 8 duplicates of contacts, calendar events, etc. Until I can get my IT folks thinking straight I can't use these functionalities on my Touch. (I believe a big step forward in solving this will be to get an iPhone in the next month or two so I can ditch the Windows Mobile 5 phone.)
When I decided to stop trying to make this synchronization work, I went to iTunes preferences and clicked on "Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods." The problem is that each time I connect my Touch to my MBP I get a dialog box that reads: "iTunes cannot sync information with the iPod because syncing has been disabled on this computer. Do you want to enable syncing?"
What do I have to do to stop getting this dialog box?

Truly I am clueless, but if you uncheck the sync box - in every menu - on your ipod preferences "info" screen, this may help.

  • ITunes not adding / deleting in with iOS7: do I have to click Sync every time?

    I have an iPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.4 (11B554a) and iTunes 11.1.3.8.
    I am running into problems when I drag music or audiobooks from my iTunes library to my iPhone.
    1. I originally dragged an audibook to my phone and it stayed "greyed out" in iTunes. The circle next to the file that indicates how much of it has downloaded to the phone did not change. This was resolved by clicking "Done" and then "Sync" in iTunes. I do not want to have to do this every time I add a file.
    2. I deleted multiple audiobooks in iTunes. They no longer appear in iTunes, but they do appear on the phone. Again, the problem was resolved by clicking on Sync in iTunes.
    Ultimately, I do not want to have to click Sync every single time I manage the music on my phone. It takes substantially longer than it did with iOS6.
    Is there any way around this?
    Many thanks!

    It's not designed to work like this. When you sync, the iPod stores some information that basically says 'this iPod belongs to computer xyz'. Apple did this to prevent copyright issues (syncing someone else's music).
    If you really want to do this, you'll have to at least tie both iTunes installations to the same account. Maybe have them sync with each other.

  • Does Apple TV have to automatically sync every time I open itunes?

    It took over 10 hours to sync iTunes with my apple tv. Every time I open up iTunes on my computer, the Apple TV automatically starts syncing with iTunes. When I try to cancel the syncing process, it says I will lose everything on my Apple TV. Is there any setting that will allow me to sync my Apple TV with iTunes only when I want to update it? HELP! I don't have time to do this every time I open up iTunes!

    It shouldn't take that long everytime.
    When it first syncs yes...but after that, iTunes will "sync" when opened but only does a quick check for changes in content and will update only files that need to (put new ones on, take old movies off depending on how you have your settings).
    But really shouldn't take long after that first time unless maybe it never finished the first time.

  • When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

    Yes, you can do something like that. What you would do is create a button for each image and then hide them. When I do this type of thing I place all of the buttons on a template page and then hide the template.
    You can then use JavaScript to copy the icon from any of the hidden buttons to the main button that you've set up to display the image. For example, suppose you set up 10 buttons named b1, b2, b3, ...b10. The code to copy the icon from one of them to the button used to display the image (b0) would be something like this:
    // Get the icon from the b3 button
    var oIcon = getField("b3").buttonGetIcon();
    // Get  reference to the b0 button
    var f = getField("b0");
    // Set the icon of the b0 button to the icon retrieved from the hidden button
    f.buttonSetIcon(oIcon);
    // Show the b0 button
    f.display = display.visible;
    This code would go in the Mouse Up event of the smaller button.

    a further message  box states that Data Execution Prevention has closed the program.
    Try updating your QuickTime to the most recent version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

  • Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time

    Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time this only occurs on the initial opening up of F/Fx after boot-up

    Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
    If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

  • How do I format a table in Pages so that I don't have to keep reformatting every time I go to a new cell?

    how do I format a table in Pages so that I don't have to keep reformatting every time I go to a new cell?

    Hello Fruhulda
    Clicking a Pages table don't give the same result than clicking somewhere in the table then pressing cmd + a.
    The first scheme selects the table (height square handles displayed)
    The second one select every cells (no handle displayed).
    If we try to fill cells with a color in case 1, only standard cells are filled.
    If we try to do the same in case 2, every cells (headers included) will receive the color.

  • How can I reset the DEFAULT zoom view in Firefox at 125%, like IE, so I don't have to reset it every time ?

    How can I reset the DEFAULT zoom view in Firefox at 125%, like IE, so I don't have to reset it every time ?
    I have seen this question asked previously and it seems there is no answer.
    I know that one can change each individual web page (that reset defaults back to 100%) and, alternatively and apparently one can load an add-on to fix the default size at Full Zoom.
    ... But any hints on how to achieve a DEFAULT 125% zoom would be much appreciated.

    Press CTRL + 0
    Have you tried Firefox's zoom feature? Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages
    You can "zoom" all sites using this add-on: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
    After installing NoSquint, click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
    If you don't have the Add-on Bar displayed, you can right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
    You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but I wouldn't go much higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
    If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
    You can find more information about the zoom features Firefox offers in these articles:
    [[Text zoom]] - For zooming text only
    [[Page zoom]] - For zooming the whole page (including images etc.)
