How do I sync my iPod without grabbing the Video Podcasts from my iTunes?

Hi,
I have searched and could not find the answer to this problem.
Anyway, I have a 5th gen iPod and am running it on a Mac with the latest iTunes. On the iPod options pane, I have selected to update only the selected Podcasts. I am leaving the podcasts that I do not want on my iPod (but want to keep on my Mac) unselected.
Now although it is true that the unselcted Podcasts to not appear in the Podcast section of my iPod, the files are still there and can be found by artist, album, etc.
How can I get around this? Basically, I have a few gigs of Video Podcasts that I do not want to carry on the iPod but do want o keep on my Mac in iTunes.
Any help would be appreciated.
Bruno

Try going into iTunes preferences and click on the iPod icon (pod has to be linked up) and choose to "manually" update iPod. Will this help?

I have a new Dell computer, how do I sync my Ipod Classic to the new computer

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
Or better yet, if you still have access to the old computer, use one of the method described in this article copy everything from the old PC to the new one.

Tough spot if you want Apple only SW, no idea where you can get where you want without some decent 3rd party SW, which as a rule outshines Apple's SW by light years.

Create a new library, either by launching iTunes with the Shift key held down or by creating a new Windows user account.

How can i find my ipod without using the app

i lost my ipod and i dont know where it is. i dont own a iphone to use the finding app. what can i do?

The "finding app" or iphone has nothing to do with it.
IF you set up find my ipod on the ipod itself AND it is on AND it is connected to wi-fi AND it has not been found and restored, then you may be able to get an aproximate stree address using icloud.com.
Otherwise, you annot track it.

My ipod is locked but does not give me an option to enter a password. When I turn on the Ipod I get a screen that shows my screensaver and reads "IPOD is disabled, connect to iTunes." I tried to connect but I get a message on iTunes saying, "iTunes cannot be connected to this Ipod because this Ipod is locked with a passcode. You must enter the passcode on the IPod before it can be used on iTunes." What do I do?

HT1296 How do you sync your iPod to another computer without deleting all the data?

I recently got a new MacBook Air and I found out that if I sync my iPod touch with my new computer instead of my old one all my data will be deleted.
How do I sync my iPod without deleting all my information?

You can't, so you'll need to get all your data, apps and content to the new computer before you allow the sync. See this support article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
You can also download most of your content (the notable exceptions being movies, some of which can be redownloaded if you're in the US, and audiobooks) again from the iTunes Store:

",the owner sold the ipod without clearing the songs and since the songs were not puchased from the itunes store then i believe i now own the songs"
Not true at all.
It does not matter where the songs came from, they are not yours and the previous owner does not own the right to distribute them to others.
The law is the same with downloads and cds and any other medium.

If you connect your ipod to your computer then look in the hidden folder labeled "iPod_Control" . (This is on a Mac version, but i think it's the same for Windows) and in "Music" is all your music mixed up in different folders. Just drag the MUSIC folder onto itunes then BAM! It's done ;D

Question: I have a computer at home and one at work. Can I update my iPod music collection from more than one computer?
Answer: Yes. When you first connect iPod to your computer, iPod recognizes that computer as its "home" computer. Each time you connect, iPod automatically downloads the music library stored on it. When you connect iPod to a different computer, iTunes will inform you that iPod is linked to a different iTunes library and will ask whether you wish to erase iPod's contents and sync with the new computer's library. If you will be connecting to multiple computers frequently, configure your iPod to manually manage music. This will allow you to selectively drag songs, albums, or playlists from the second computer to your iPod without compromising the existing music.
Synchronization generally occurs only in one direction, from your computer to your iPod. This means you typically cannot transfer music, automatically or manually, from your iPod to a computer, and you cannot use iPod to copy a music library from one computer to another. An exception to this is the transfer purchases feature which allows you to restore purchased iTunes content to your computer from your iPod. Additionally, if you legally are allowed to copy music or other media files, you can configure your iPod as a storage drive to move media files.
