How do I keep podcasts from copying to backup?

I just backed up my itunes library to CDs for the first time and was surprised to see my podcasts copying. I have the settings set to only keep unplayed podcasts, and all have been played and removed from my ipod. They are also un-checked in my itunes library. However, on my backup every single podcast was saved. Once I've played them, I have no need to keep them. How do I keep this from happening the next time I do a backup?
Thanks.

How do I keep iTunes from copying songs from iCloud to playlist?

Why is iTunes copying songs from iCloud to playlist when I already have the songs on my computer? This is obvously redundant and just duplicates songs I already have. How do I just drag over songs from my Library to my playlist without copying them from ICloud??

How do I keep iTunes from copying apps I bought on my iPad onto my iphone?

I just got an iPad and I've had an iPhone for quite awhile. I put a bunch of apps on the iPad but they were all ones I already had on the phone. Then I added some new games for my son and next time I synced my iphone, iTunes put the new games on there too even though I didn't select to add them.
Is this a setting I missed? Is iTunes trying to sync my phone with the iPad?

With your device attached to the PC go to iTunes (on the PC).
Select your device from the sidebar.
Click on Apps (at the top).
Scroll to the bottom of your listed apps and just underneath, you need to uncheck "Automatically install new apps"

Itunes content and pics are NOT part of the backup that itunes performs.
Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
You should transfer any purchases from iphone regularly: File>Transfer Purchases , if they fail to be transferred when you sync.
You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

Recordings lost. How do I keep this from happening again?

OK, so, I recorded a song with my band. Sixteen tracks of guitar, bass, drums, vocals, etc. I had six different versions of the song (various mixes) all saved in separate files like this: SongtitleWorking1; SongtitleWorking2; and so on. Six different working files of the same song, the highest number being the latest version.
The other day I pulled the bass track from one of the earlier working files and dropped into the most recent worker, then I deleted all the earlier versions. Now, when I open the most recent working mix, that bass line I placed from one of the now-deleted working files can't be found. Gone forever. Totally lame.
Any ideas on how I can keep this from happening in the future?

1. Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari.
2. You can only restore the whole bookmarks file to a previous state. It's not possible to restore individual bookmarks.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Safari
Quit Safari.
Select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window should open. Restore the file named "Bookmarks.plist" in that folder from a backup that predates the unwanted changes.

How do I keep iTunes from moving files when I add them to my library?

I use a site where artists give away their songs via torrent, so I like to seed as much as possible. But recently when I've added files, they're removed from their original folder and moved to a more generic "music" folder. How can I keep iTunes from doing this, so that my uploads aren't interrupted?

In iTunes, go to Edit > Preferenes > Advanced, and make sure that "Keep..." and "Copy..." are both unchecked.

How do I keep html from rendering in to a link, I need it to show

Hi All,
How do I keep html from rendering into a link, I need the html code to show in a comment box so others can copy and paste it in other comments on a photo sharing site.
The code rightful renders into a link and the html no longer shows how do I stop
it from rendering?
I would really appreciate any help! Thank you for your time.
Cheers,
Maria /eMe

Hi Eme
I don't know for sure w/o trying the site, but I guess you mean that a href ="some-site.com" type things are rendering as links, rather than text people can read? same as these forums I spose.
first, try replacing the opening < with < and the closing > with > for both the initial <a> and the closing </a>
hopefully...that'll allow the code to be visible, tho' you may find the site still converts the url to a clickable link.

How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions?

How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions? I am fimilar with changing the setting for all network partitions(defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true), but that is undesirable when I connect my laptop to my home network. A preferable solution would be where I could control the writing of these files based on disk format (NTFS vs HFS+).

Go to MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and search for ds_store. There are numerous utilities for preventing them from being transferred to Windows systems.

How do I keep itunes from putting things into the cloud after I've downloaded them?

Hello - Not everyone lives in Silicon Valley or New York City. I have a relatively slow internet connection so it takes about 2 hours to download a 45-minute tv episode. Yesterday I did that, and today I went to watch it and it had been put back in the cloud! "No problem," says Apple, "You can download it again." It takes f**** 2 hours to download it again. How can I keep Itunes from putting things I've already downloaded back into the cloud?

You don't. They are in the cloud as soon as you make a purchase. As in immediately/right now. They don't get uploaded from yoru computer to the cloud.
Did you delete it after you watched it?

Have you seen this?
Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
A better solution is if your email provider uses IMAP. IMAP sync email folders between multiple devices. Meaning any device will receive the email, all sent email can be seen on the devices. If you delete email from one device the email is deleted from all the other devices. Check with your email provider to see if they offer IMAP services.
If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples). FWIW I use Cox IMAP email and fully sync email between a Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, a Win 7 desktop, an iPad 4, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S.

How do I keep iTunes from automatically transferring purchases from my iPhone?

Well, earlier in the year I had a Hard Drive failure. After having it fixed not all my files where on my Mac, including my iTunes media. So I connect my iPhone and it asks me if I want to transfer purchases? I click yes, the transfer wnet fine but some old media transferd too. I didn't want it so I simply deleted it. But when I plug my iPhone in now, it automatically says transfering purchases from Alex's iPhone. I then clicked on the "X" to cancel the task. But how do I keep iTunes from automatically transferring the old material?

iTunes/Preferences/Devices - Select "Prevent iPods, iPhone, iPads from syncing automatically."
