How do I prevent my iPod from powering on when I have the Hold switch on?

After I power off my iPod I turn on the Hold switch to prevent it from powering on and using up my battery life, but for some strange reason when I pull it out of my purse to use it again I often find a song playing. To make things even stranger every time this happens it is always a song from the same playlist. I really just want this to STOP b/c it drains my battery. Thanks to anyone that can help me.

Make sure you don't have an alarm set.
Cheers!

How can I delete an app from launchpad, that doesn't have the little cross in the left top corner. The app isn't an App Store app. The application is also not present anymore in my application's folder in finder.

How can I delete an app from launchpad, that doesn't have the little cross in the left top corner. The app isn't an App Store app. The application is also not present anymore in my application's folder in finder.
I tried to use the attached command through TERMINAL :
sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';" && killall Dock
sqlite3: Error: too many options: "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';"
Use -help for a list of options.
But i didn't work as I got the above error message.

I'm in the same boat as you -- except that I manage both a school lab (volunteer job) and macs in the enterprise (pay job). What I think we need is the Education Volume Purchasing Program
http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/faq.html
Unfortunately this all seems a little rough around the edges -- for example, I have found updates for AppStore apps on the support.apple.com updates download site, but then when I install them via ARD they don't actually update the software. (The AppStore icons still show as needing the updates, and the version info reports the old version.) The documentation is also vague about which AppleID to use in which circumstance. I think they just haven't finished thinking through the implications of the various procedures and policies upon the various kinds of customers. When we deployed Mountain Lion on the school lab, we made an install usb and went around and installed it on each computer -- and it appears that you are on the honor system as far as paying for all of the licenses that you install. We did! But they appear to have no way to enforce it.
So far, I have only deployed 9 Lion macs in my day job, and our "solution" to the AppStore showing updates problem has been to drag the AppStore icon off of the users' docks so they don't see them!

Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

I tried to restore my 120 gb iPod and got an error 1413 message - "cannot restore iPod". I started to reset turning the hold switch on and off and now my iPod seems to be permanently locked.

I tried to restore my 120 gb iPod and got an error 1413 message - "cannot restore iPod". I started to reset turning the hold switch on and off and now my iPod seems to be permanently locked. I had been having trouble syncing music, When I tried to sync, iTunes said it didn't recognize my iPod, even though I was on the iPod page in iTunes which showed the model number and the serial number of my iPod

I am having essentialy the same problem, but my iPod came from a PC and is now on a PC. The person who gave me the iPod didn't give me the wall adapter piece, so I bought a "Griffin" brand that was said to be compatible with this model. When I first plugged it into the wall, the Apple appeared with a bar underneath as though it was loading the new software. When the bar got to the end, the "plug into the wall" icon reappeared, but when I plug it in to the wall now, that icon is the only thing that shows, even after resetting and trying to run diagnostics.
When I doc the iPod on a charger I have or plug the USB into my computer and "reset" it, a battery with a charge icon appears, but there is no "motion" in the icon so it doesn't appear to be charging. The screen eventually goes back to the apple then to the "plug it into the wall" icon. HELP!!! Is is possible the wall adapters isn't the right one? Should I be charging through a firewire cable instead (which I also don't have...)?

Computer Crash- How do I prevent my iPod from clearing all the songs?

My computer crashed recently, and all the files and folders have been deleted. I still have the songs on my iPod, a second generation nano, is there any way I can get the songs from my iPod back onto my computer? I've heard that if I plug my iPod back in, it'll clear all of the songs. Any help is appreciated!

This question has been asked a lot. itunes blocks the function of transferring the songs (not purchased) from ipod back to computer, you can have a look of below answer,same issue: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6301496#6301496

How do I prevent my emails from being sent without my hitting the send key. Many of my emails are just "taking off" and sending while I am in the middle of typing. If this is a keyboard shortcut, I must disable it, so how do I do that

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

How do I prevent downloading messages from timing out when a large file is attached to an incoming mail?

When an incoming message has a sizable attachment (say ~1 MB or more), I have to click manually on Get Messages many times before it finally downloads. Until I get lucky, the software seems to allow a period of about 30 seconds (I haven't clocked it) until it quits trying to download new messages. And until the message with the large attachment finally downloads, all other incoming messages are clogged behind it and can't get through. How do I adjust settings to prevent timing out or increase the time-out limit substantially to work around this difficulty? If there's no fix, I'll have to give up on Thunderbird and go directly to the provider website to get e-mail.

Is there any way you could get such attachments sent to you otherwise, such as file sharing? Thunderbird has a feature to address this, [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/filelink-large-attachments Filelink], in case the sending party is using Thunderbird it may be useful to let them know about.
Are you using POP or IMAP? Either way many settings can fine tune this, in different ways, please add this information so we can provide a more detailed answer.

How do I unauthorise an iPod from a computer when said computer is broken

I have an iPod touch which has reached it's limit on the number of computers it can be authorised to. Unfortunately two of the computers are broken beyond repair. How do I unauthorise a device when I cant access the computer?

an iDevice does not count against the five computer limit - only computers do.
you can use the deauthorize all option, then reauthorize those computers you currently use/have access to.
follow the instructions in this support article.

How do I prevent my content from being erased when adding a new device to itunes?

I've had my 4s for about a year now and I just got a new windows laptop. I installed itunes and signed in but i dont know how to add my phone to this itunes. I know that normally you just plug your phone into the computer and it does it automatically but I know sometimes doing this will erase the content of the device. I have a lot of pictures and music on there that I obviously dont want to lose. So how can i add my phone to this new computer without losing everything?

Is it possible to prevent my iPod from going silent when locked?

The reason is that I use HwBrowser to download mp3 files which are not available as podcasts, but when I listen to them, I need to keep my iPod awake all the time or the sound stops. Now it wasn't always like that, I used to have no problem listening to files while the device is locked.

Only if one of these programs will kick the iPod out of recovery mode, I doubt they will.

How can I prevent embedded videos from playing automatically when I open a webpage?

When I go to a web page, such as when I click around to different stories on msn.com, there is often an embedded video. Sometimes it is a commercial. Sometimes it's something else. But it just starts playing all by itself, which can be loud and startling. I'd like videos to play only when I select them. Is there a way to make it prevent the auto-play?

How can I prevent Magic Mouse from scrolling horizontally when I don't want it to?

I recently purchased a Magic Mouse to go with OS 10.6 Snow Leopard. It's a great mouse but it causes 2 problems:
If I leave it on "Scroll with interia" in System Preferences/Mouse, it scrolls horizontally when I don't want it to. Since I mostly work in Word documents, I often lose my place in the document this way. On the other hand, checking "Scroll without inertia" makes vertical scrolling, which I do all the time, a lot harder.
The mouse seems to cause what I think of as "fractures" in Word documents--words and parts of sentences will disappear or get crunched together , then reappear when I select the place where they vanished. They also reappear if I scroll vertically to get the problem area off the screen and then return to it. This wastes a lot of time at best; at worst, I'm afraid I'll lose work. The problem occurred once in a while with a Logitech bluetooth mouse I was using, but not as bad and not all the time.
I love the mouse's ergonomics and would like to keep it, but if I can't solve this problem, I'll have to return it. Would be very, very grateful for any tips! Thanks.

Always nervous about recommending sites I have no personal experience of. On the plus side it doesn't relate to any of the bad sites I am familiar with and it appears to be the developer's site ... but there is no contact point for you to ask questions. You said in your initial post it was to go with Snow Leopard but this version says it is meant for 10.7 and above. Did you notice that? I also notice several other references to Word and mouse and one person found the solution lay in the updating of word 2011 to its highest level. I can offer no more.

How do I prevent Photos.app from automatically opening when I connect a camera

I don't use Photos, except for a very small exception. I use Lightroom. I don't want Photos.app to open every time I plug in a device like my iphone or camera.
In iPhoto, it was easy to opt out of this feature. I can find no such option with Photos.app.
any solutions?

Go to the System/Keyboard/Keyboard preference pane and check the checkbox circled below:
Now go to this menu
select Show Keyboard Viewer to get this:
As you press the special keys you'll see what character the various keys will produce like this for the Option/Alt key
