How to enable manual ipod updates with itunes 7?

Hi,
I perviously had a problem with muisc being greyed out on my ipod due to me syncing the it with my library, I easily fixed the porblem to allow manual updates of single tracks in ipod options.
Since then I have got a macbook and stopped using windows, so I had to reformat my ipod and sync the songs to start with, but not everything will fit and I want to add tracks I really like and remove those I dont like so much, but with itunes 7 all I can seem to do it sync my library with my ipod due to the introduction of the ipod menu and disappearance of the ipod opitons section.
Does anyone know how I can change this? please help! =)
thanks,
Sarah

Don't feel stupid. You're not the only one who was wondering how to set the iPod to manually update in iTunes 7

  • Slow Ipod update with itunes

    When ever i plug in my ipod to update with itunes it takes FOREVER. Why is this? Can I help this and make it faster? I have alot of video podcast and movie content thet changes alot so is that why its sooooooooooo slow. Just to let you know, the computer itself isnt slow. Its one of the fastest ive ever used. PLEASE HELP!!! ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!

    I've been frustrated w/ the speed for a long time.
    When I first got my video ipod it took over 24hours to initially load it. This was w/ only 10-12GB of music.
    The other week I had to reinit my ipod and fully reload it. This time I had approx 12GB of tunes, and tons of video files. Total load size around 50GB. This time it took just over 12 hours.
    I discovered that the video interface of the Windows version of iTunes is a CPU hog.
    Minimize iTunes while its loading your iPod. This more than doubled my data transfer rate to the iPod (over USB2.x)
    fyi, I run an old PCI ATI graphics adapter. My friends w/ way faster graphics never complain about the speed issue.
    On older versions of iTunes I also found that it helped to set all the iTunes processes affinity to the boot strap proc (first processor typically as Windows sees them). This had helped w/ speed, but also helped eliminate blue screens. The need to do this seems to have been eliminated in the v7.x iTunes.

  • HT203216 Can you remove contacts from an ipod updated with iTunes 11 software?

    Does anyone know how you can remove all contacts from an iPod under the new iTunes 11 software?  We sync to one family account and the kids don't want my contacts - how can you delete them?  We can't find the area to select to eliminate the sync of the contacts when the iPod is synced to our account.  Anyone able to help?

    itunes will now look more like itunes 10.
    You can click on your device in the lefthand window as before
    You may prefer to use the Music Sync page to select or deselect Playlists, Artists, Albums etc and click apply.
    Delete your files is enabled by ticking the Manualy manage music option on the Device Summary page. You may have to scroll down to find it

  • How do you disable iPod Auto Update with iTunes?

    How do you disable iPod Auto Update with iTunes? I know there is a key press combo that will do it but I forget which keys. Anyone?

    Keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
    Another Easier Alternative:
    While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys in Windows (CMD + Option keys on a Mac). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes. The iPod will then appear in the iTunes source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto-sync and then you can release the keys. This action may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
    You can then ‘right-click‘ on the iPod icon in iTunes’ source column and select iPod Options, then check the box that says “Manually manage songs and playlists”. You can now manage your library without losing any songs on the iPod.
    Note: If connecting to a different computer than the ‘iPod’s Home Computer’, iTunes will ask you if you want to update your iPod and give you an opportunity to opt out. This will not happen if you connect to the ‘Home’ computer – iTunes will auto-sync without warning!. Best to know the difference.

  • How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows?  I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

    How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows?  I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

    The same way it was done in every previous version.
    Connect the device to the computer.
    Right click on the device in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases.
    Why would you lose any content by syncing with iTunes?
    Is this not the computer that the device is normally synced with?

  • How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?

    Like the subject line says: How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?
    With the previous version of iTunes, when I plugged in my iPod, I could select the iPod, select podcasts, and manually delete episodes. With the new iTunes, I can't select individual episodes when looking at my iPod through iTunes. Is my only option to Sync? If so, why is that my only option?
    This question probably has a simple answer, and I'm just not seeing it.

    Rock,
    I think I figured out a way to do what you want to do - which is the same way that I use Itunes with my Ipod. (My Itunes libary was destroyed last year so I can no longer auto synch my Ipod as I would lose thousands of songs).
    Funnily enough, I discovered this new way of manually moving podcasts while trying to figure out what cpragman was trying to say (I never could - he must be smarter than me, as I couldn't get his method to work).
    1. Open up your Itunes in your regular Library view. Choose Pocasts from the left hand side (either in the sidebar if you have that enabled, or from the little "radio" icon if you don't.)
    2. Mouse to the podcast you want to place on your Ipod.
    3. Right-click it.  A long menu will pop up.
    4. Move to the "Add to Playlist" option.  As you hover, all your playlists will be visible. But at the very top will be the name of your Ipod itself (whatever you named it originally).  Choose THAT name, and voila! That podcast will now copy to your Ipod and be easily available when you disconnect.
    A nice feature of this method is that you can shift-click several podcasts at once and do the same thing, and all your selected podcasts will copy over (if you're like me and update your Ipod only every few weeks).
    Hope this helps - let me know if it works for you!

    I did not sync my iPod Touch with iTunes and I have forgotten my password and now it is locked.  I have the recovery mode screen at "conect to iTunes", but iTunes is not recognizing it.  How do I unlock it?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    OR if I cannot update to software 3.0, how can I find apps that will work just for my ipod touch?

    It sounds like you have a 1G iPod Touch, in which case you can only upgrade to iOS version 3.1.  Here is a link to purchase the update.

  • IPod not updating with iTunes

    When I plug my iPod into the computer, it is not updating with iTunes.
    The software version on iTunes is 1.2.1 and is the same on my iPod.
    I did have a relapse last evening, as my iPod got confused. It stalled, so I had to drain the battery and recharg it. When I plugged it in today to the computer, it is not updating with iTunes - and I did update it to 7.1 version of iTunes, but the software version still says 1.2.1.
    It also says my ipod is up to date with iTunes.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
