How stop auto update before you insert the ipod

This seems to be a real quandary. sometimes you want to insert your ipod without the whole updating thing taking over you ipod. but I don't think you can change that setting unless the ipod in plugged into computer, and if setting is auto update it just starts. any ideas appreciated. thanks.

thanks Niel, but before I proceed, what exactly happens when you do that, does the ipod not do the auto update? and you can access or update manually?
also, anyway to stop the updating once it starts? thanks

    So would it be pointless to update the new soft ware if u have the iPod 4 gen?

    A lot of stuff looks better and there is Passbook. There's not much more to it than that. There are a lot of little things that are changed, like the settings icon etc. I haven't updated as a lot of people have had problems with it and I am not making the same mistake I made last year with iOS 5.

  • How do you turn off Auto Update when you sync your ipod??

    I need to turn this off because I just got a SLVR with iTunes and I dont want it to put all my music on my SLVR because it would fill up with the songs I dont want to put on it..

    Check this article out: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304708
    While it may not include what you are looking for, since this article relates to iPods, it may help you out.
    Good luck...

  • Why, when you have auto update on, isn't the same language installed as before, but English instead.

    When auto update the new version installed is English and different from the original language installed. Probably the same thing happens with thunderbird. When I have a language installed I want an update in the same language without having to reinstall the wanted language.

    I already thought of that but it can't be the way it is suppossed to be. Firefox, and Thunderbird, offer an auto update function so the update automatically sould be in the same language and not in English as it does now. Downloading and installing your own language you can hardly call auto update.
    For now I have stopped auto update till a solution is presented.

    What happens when you connect the iPod to the computer and click on Update or check for update button?
    If it says yu have 4.2.1 and are up to date then you likely have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to 4.21. If yours is n 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G.  Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods.  A 32 GB can be either. To identify your iPod:
    Enter SN here:
    Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage

    I will going to change my simcard in iPhone 4s do I need to delete messages on it before I insert the new one?

    The SIM card only holds information from your carrier regarding your account. I'm not sure how someone else is going to get ahold of your old SIM. If you are selling the phone, wipe the phone clean and remove the SIM.

    My hp support assistance wont run. It keeps stopping during updates and when deleting the temporary internet files. So it never finishes the process.. help

    The failure to remove the Temporary Files could just be due to having your internet connection active during the removal process.  For most folks, the amount of data in this directory is minimal.   If you want / need to remove the files, you could close your browser(s), make sure your Internet music and TV connections are closed, and then try removing the files manually:
    Path to Folder:
    C:\Users\--YourAccountNameHere--\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
    Warning: 
    Do NOT remove the "Temporary Internet Folder" itself.  Go "inside" the folder before removing anything.

    The HP Support Assistant is great when it works -- and not so great when it won't cooperate.  You can try removing the program from your computer and installing it again.  That may work.

    i changed my apple id and password but how can i update my iphone with the new apple id and password?i changed my apple id and password but how can i update my iphone with the new apple id and password?

    You have to delete the old account, provide the password for the ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos that are not in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).

  • How do I update my system to the 10.7.2

    How do I update my system to the 10.7.2

    If you have 10.6.8, and your Mac meets the requirements, you can use "App Store" from your Dock to purchase the appropriate version of 10.7.
    If you are running:
    Office or Word 2004,
    AppleWorks,
    Quicken 2007,
    Eudora 6,
    Adobe CS2 (Photoshop),
    FileMaker 6,
    or dozens of other PowerMacintosh Applications, these will not work after you update.
    The ideal way to do the update is to install 10.7 on a brand new drive, and keep your 10.6.8 as a backup. That may not be realistic for many users.

  • Bug report: Photoshop can't record an action where you insert the menu item "Tile all horizontally".

    I am running CS6 beta on Mac OS 10.7.3
    Photoshop can't record an action where you insert the menu item "Tile all horizontally".
    Expected behavior: add the tile all horizontally action to your actions.
    Behavior: nothing happens.
    This does work for Tile all vertically.

    Oh no! I'm sorry to see there's a lot of confusion here and data shared, x-rayDon. We can definitely work to fix. This happens when two devices share the same Apple ID, so she will need to reset hers. She can do so by assessing this link Apple - My Apple ID. You will need to decide who will keep the account if want separate Apple IDs since purchases cannot be shared unless you do Family Sharing.

  • I have updated my Apple ID, but iCloud under System Preferences on my iMac still shows the old Apple ID. How do I update it to show the new ID name? Can anyone help?

    I've updated my Apple ID, but iCloud under System Preferences on my iMac still shows my old Apple ID. How do I update it to show the new Apple ID?

    Do you mean you changed your existing apple id to a new email address, still associated to your existing apple id?
    If that's the case, just click the sign out button in the icloud preferences, and sign in with the new email address.
    If you're actually created an entirely new apple id with your new email address, you'll have to do some exporting/importing.
