How do I prevent my new I-Pod from synching every time I connect to my LT?

Perhaps this is I-Pod 101 but I just bought a new I-Pod and cannot figure out how to prevent the thing from syncing every time I connect. I want to move my songs from my LT to my external hard drive and then delete from my LT to open space. I am concerned that deleting songs from my LT hard drive will modify the songs on my I-Pod because it automatically syncs. I am not finding anything under Preferences that looks like it will do the trick.....
I am noticing some confab under "I-Phones Discussions" about an inability to move stuff manually (which is what I am trying to do here). I was able to move songs manually on my old I-Pod and then delete them from my hard drive w/o effecting anything.... Can't seem to do it here and am getting very concerned......

Hey' How do you erase songs off the computer but still keep them on the Ipod? I bought my girlfriend one and my computer is now packed with songs I need to get rid of without erasing everything she put on when the thing synch's Please let me know. Thanks

    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
    Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password...

    How can one stop the annoying MobileMe notice from appearing every time iPhoto is opened?

    Well then you can not remove something that obviously has been removed
    Did you remove the references in the iPhoto preferences?  Did this eliminate the problem?  If so then you are done and your problem has been
    N resolved.

  • HT2101 How do I prevent my new iphone 4 from getting hot in the first place?

    I got a new iPhone 4 for Christmas. It is constantly overheating and getting insanely hot when charging. My battery life is suffering, it takes hours to charge and loses battery life very quickly. How can I prevent my device from getting hot in the first place? I use it in a room temperature environment and only have about 2 apps running at one time.

    Idealy you should move your itunes content from your old computer to your new one
    Here are your options
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Then just sync your iPhone with the new computer. It will ask to erase but as everything in in your new itunes this is OK. Then choose what to sync back onto your iphone
    If you no longer have the old computer here is how to restore your library from the iPhone
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Then you can sync your machine with the new computer.
    If you do not care about this and just want to extract the items mentioned
    I found this and it will extract your Contacts and messages.

  • How can I prevent the settings on iMessage from changing each time I sync the devices with iTunes on our iMac?

    Each time I sync an apple device (iPad, iPad mini, iPhone) with iTunes on our iMac the settings on iMessage and phone settings change. We use the same Apple ID and have different e-mail addresses and phone numbers; however, each time a device is sync'd on iTunes on our iMac, the iMessage settings and phone settings are changed so that we all each get each other's text messages and phone calls. After the device is sync'd/charged, I have to go into each device (all of them somehow update when only one is sync'ing) and re-set the settings to what we want. How can I prevent settings from being changed each time?

    Okay I've tried safe mode.  Let it run down to 98%, plugged it in, locked the screen, and waited.  A few minutes later, the screen came on showing the 100% icon at the top right, full battery icon just to the left of the time, 100% text to the left of that.
    I'm not going to do a hard reset until I have confirmation that this is not normal behavior for the phone because that's going to take hours of my time and gigabytes of data transfer to get all of my media and apps back on the phone and configured.
    After all my griping, I do have to give credit where it's due.  This phone is much more efficient than my Galaxy Nexus.  I left the S5 running in WiFi hotspot mode while on battery last night.  It still had over 50% left on the battery.  The Galaxy Nexus would be stone dead after about 4 hours.  I can live with that if I have to but I'd really rather be able to leave it on the charger at night.

  • How do I prevent iPhoto from starting every time I connect to a camera card?

    Every time I put in a camera card iPhoto starts. Is there a way to prevent this short of deleting iPhoto from the applications?

    In the iphoto Preferences disable "connecting Camera opens" - set it to "No application".
    If that does not suffice, do the same in Image Capture:
    In Image Capture - with your camera card inserted- click the disclosure triangle in the lower left corner of the window to reveal the menu to set the preferences for the device:
    Then set the option to "Connectiong this ... opens"  to "No application"

  • Safari opens a new tab, randomly from history every time I am clicking on something on my opened safari page!

    I have a mac book pro and my os x is 10.9.5 is updated. I use safari 7.1 ( the last updated version) , firefox and google chrome. It is a few days that I have the problem of opening an unwanted new tab from history ( just random but usually mac cleaner) automatically every time that I click on my opened page! Now I see that this also happened in firefox and chrome. I have tried, un-installing extensions, clear history, reset safari/chrome/ firefox... But the problem is not solved. I am really confused! I see many adds in every page I open too. which I did not see before this.  I appreciate if anyone can help me get rid of these unwanted tabs!

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine item from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • How do I prevent a new Firefox tab from opening when opening a PDF in Adobe.

    First off, this issue started Monday, August 25th 2014 when I was forced to update Firefox in order to log into my online accounting program. I was not having this issue in the previous Firefox version.
    When I open a PDF document from an email (which shows a Firefox icon next to it), the document opens in Adobe reader, but also a blank tab opens in Firefox, even with it's not already open. When I close the PDF document, the Firefox tab remains open and I have to manually close it. This does not happen with PDF documents that I have saved to my company's network or to my computer (which have the Adobe icon). I refuse to have to save PDFs to my computer as a workaround for this issue.
    Under Tools > Options > Applications, I've already switched the Adobe/PDF options to open in Adobe. Also, in about:config, the value for "pdfjs.disabled" reads "true" and "plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types" contains "application/pdf".
    I work with a lot of PDFs and I'm frustrated to the point where I'm about to unistall Firefox and just use Internet Explorer.

    hello, does it work when you go into the ''acrobat reader > edit > preferences > general ''& click on the default application option at the bottom? in there reselect adobe's application and confirm this selection...

  • How do I stop iphoto from opening every time I connect my iphone to my computer?

    I don't really want to sync my iphone with my iphoto. Whenever I plug my phone into my computer, iphoto automatically opens and asks if I want to sync. Is there a way to stop this from happening?
    Thanks!

    The RIGHT way is to copy photos from your phone to iPhoto and delete them from the Camera Roll. If you still want them on the iPhone add them back to the photo album app. The Camera Roll is a bad place to leave photos that are important, and a silly place to leave photos that are not. It is intended as temporary storage, jost like any digital camera.
    iPhone will not open if the camera roll is empty.

  • How do I stop the latest FF version from crashing EVERY TIME I try an access my gmail account? Never before this version has it done this.

    The details are in the question. It happens every time and with every account as I have several. It never happened before the latest "upgrade." I can still access the accounts with IE or Chrome so the accounts are fine.

    Could you try disabling add-ons?
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons disabled
    Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently in the [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] dialog if you didn't back up; just "continue in safe mode."
    Does that make any difference?

  • How do I stop an advertisement for movies from playing every time I hit the browser button?

    The ad is from ivdopia WAP ads demo.

    You need to figure out which app you downloaded that is doing that.  I know there is a camera app that causes your browser to do that.  It's most likely a free app.  In the future becareful of the apps you download, if it asks for more access than it needs don't install it.
    Go to your downloaded apps section in Marketplace and read the comments on all recent apps, there should be comments about it on the app that is causing this.
    Edit:  If you find out which one is doing it, make sure you uninstall it and use the marketplace to report it as malicious content.  Make sure you do a battery pull reset after you uninstall it.

  • HOW DO I STOP THE 3 UPDATE TABS FROM APPEARING EVERY TIME FIREFOX STARTS ???

    I have gone into the updating section of Options & UN-ticked thgem but the still appear every time !
    Using XP pro & FireFox 9.0.1

    Hi MadogM,
    Are you saying you always see the tab telling you that you've updated? If that's the case, you should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
    If that doesn't work:
    # Type about:config in the address bar
    # Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
    # In the Filter input field type ''startup''
    # Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
    # Delete the text string and click ''OK''
    # Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
    Hopefully this helps!
