How to keep Ipod in iTunes when undocked

I want to be able to see and manage my ipod music while it is undocked. I did this before, but for the life of me, can't figure out how to keep the iPod showing in iTunes when it's undocked. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

If it's not connected to the computer, you can't do anything with the iPod.
You can Enable disk use in iTunes prefs -> iPod and it will not dismount.

That is what iTunes is for.
Make the changes in iTunes and then update the iPod.
Any changes you make on the iPod will not be reflected in iTunes.
When you have to Restore the iPod (you will), all changes will be lost.

  • How to keep original aspect ratio when cropping in Camera Raw?

    How to keep original aspect ratio when cropping in Camera Raw? Cant figure it out! With shift, the aspect ratio is 1:1. But I didnt set it to 1:1 (I checked "normal").

    The Shift key works once you’ve set your crop ratio.  DSLRs would typically do 2:3 and others sometimes do 3:4.

  • How to keep original email open when replying?

    I bet this is somthing simple, but I just can't figure it out. When I click reply on an email, the original closes. It's no big deal, but I like to have the original open to refer back to. Is there a way to set my mail to keep the original open when replying. Thanks in advance

    You're welcome.
    I am not getting the other option about keeping
    the preview pane visible.
    It seems you're not aware that the part of the main window where messages are listed can be split in two parts: the messages list at the top and the preview pane at the bottom. You can do this by either (1) dragging upwards the thin horizontal separator bar that's at the bottom of the window, or (2) just double-clicking on that bar (it has a tiny hole in the middle).
    How come when I delete an email in my .mac account,
    I have to delete it twice from the trash?
    Well, the answer to that question is way more involved than you might think.
    The behavior you've observed happens in Mail to any IMAP-type account for which deleted messages are stored locally (i.e. Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors > Store deleted messages on the server has been turned OFF). The "reason" is that storing deleted messages locally for IMAP-type accounts causes Mail to move deleted messages in that account to a Deleted Messages (AccountName).mbox folder located within ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/.
    Deleting a message already in a Trash mailbox should cause the message to be permanently erased, BUT deleting a message from a mailbox located within ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/ (i.e. an "On My Mac" mailbox) should cause the message to be moved to the "On My Mac" Trash. Thus, in the particular case of a Deleted Messages (a Trash) mailbox stored within ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/, there are two conflicting behaviors, and it seems that Mail takes the latter into consideration first, i.e. deleting a message from the account's Trash under those conditions causes it to be moved to the "On My Mac" Trash instead of being permanently erased as would happen if the Deleted Messages folder was located within the account folder.
    This could very well be an oversight (a bug) rather than intended behavior, but that's how it works in the current version of Mail. If you're curious, the following somewhat amusing (but also lengthy and confusing) threads would give you an idea of how long it took me to figure out this one:
    emails won't delete on first try
    IMAP messages need trash deleted twice

  • How do I manually delete iTunes when I want to re-install the latest program? Error says I have no permission so how can I get permission?

    How do I manually delete iTunes and all its bits prior to re-installing the version 11 when I get a message saying I don't have permission.
    I am the sole owner of my p.c. and nobody else uses it. How do I "get permission" from my own p.c.?
    The p.c. is a Dell Vostro running windows 7 (64 bit) After giving up and exiting iTunes there was an error notification saying msvcr 80 is missing from your computer...Also, when I went (blindly) to administrators etc there was a red question mark against a gobbledegook long line apart from David pc which is me. Would this be some malevelant thing? Help!

    Hi David,
    Open the start menu, then select Control Panel in the right hand column. Open the Programs and Features section, type Apple in the search box at top right. You need to uninstall the components in the order suggested in the user tip.
    Once all have been uninstalled reboot and use Windows Explorer to locate the named folders and delete them. Then reinstall.

  • ITunes messed up - how to restore iPod to iTunes?

    My father has asked for some help. He has an iPod, which was correctly sync'd to his iTunes on his Windows XP computer.
    However, some 'expert' came and messed with his computer. Now, his music is spread over a couple of folders, and the iTunes appears to have some duplicates. (His iTunes also no longer plays any music, but that can wait until we've resolved the first problem.)
    I'd like to help him completely clean up the mess and restore iTunes to a pristine condition, correctly sync'd with his iPod. I had a good look at his computer, but as I don't have iTunes or an iPod, I don't know what to do next!
    How can he...
    1. Wipe out everything from his iTunes (and from the folders) on the computer, and then:
    2. Restore his entire iPod into his iTunes on the computer to the correct iTunes folder, and:
    3. Correctly get the automatic sync working again?
    Obviously, I will back up the music that is already on his computer first, just in case!
    As an extra note, his iPod is currently set up completely correctly, as he wants it, so at this point he doesn't want any changes to the iPod. He only wants his iTunes to work again.
    Thank you to anyone who can offer advice.

    All you can do is to restore and thus erase the iPod unless you can get a data recovery company to preserve the data.
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • How to restore ipod via itunes while ipod is in disk mode?

    I am trying to restore my ipod via itunes. My ipod is corrupted and I can only connect it to the computer while the ipod is in disk mode. After ipod is connected and in disk mode, the first stage of restore via itunes begins, the bar appears, fills up and then disappears. Then my ipod seems to disconnect from the computer and begin an infinite reset loop algorithm. How do I successfully restore my ipod while it is in disk mode?

    I have the same problem, but my ipod stays in disk mode all the time. Won't show in iTunes.tried Apples suggestion to restore in disk utility, but no dice! I have tried everything and now I will give up, maybe it's too old?

  • Ipod freezing itunes when being plugged in and not recognised

    hi,
    can anyone help me... i have an 30gb ipod and have tried everything to get it working with itunes. It works fine with others computers but with mine it just freezes itunes. As soon as i plug my pod in it freezes itunes. Sometimes if i'm lucky it starts to update it but then after 5 minutes it freezes itunes again. I have tried the 5 r's. I have installed the latest SMTP driver for xp. I have tried everything that apple have suggested on there sopport pages and nothing has helped. I have even reformatted my laptop just to get it to work but no luck.
    If someone could please help me it would be much appreiated. It was a christmas present from someone close to me and don't wanna give up on it because have all ready spent many late nights on it.
    Thanks

    I get exactly what your describing and I noticed we are using the same laptop!!
    I did not notice originally as I've got an old 40gb click wheel, about 3/4 years old. The battery is not great so assumed it may have been that but even fully charged I'm getting no luck.
    I also followed the 5 r's and all the other suggestions for Ipod in My compute but not in itunes but nothing has worked. I cannot get my laptop to recognised my ipod via Itunes but it see's it fine via My Computer.
    Both the Ipod and Itunes work fine without each other, Ipod plays songs fine etc and Itunes downloads music from cd etc and still performs all the usual functions but nothing else works.
    I'm desperate for help as I run every day and buy a new cd each week and at this rate I'm going to have to dig out my old CD player!
    Also just a point of note I looked the price to get my Ipod serviced as I figured this may help but the price quoted from apple was £160+...you can get a new 30gb for less...talk about customer explotation!!

  • How to keep filename in textfield when filter is changed in a filechooser

    Hi, guys,
    I met a problem to keep filename in textfield when filter is changed in a filechooser
    for example, a JFileChooser has two filters
    *.jpg
    *.png
    Before I open JFileChooser, I used setSelectedFile(File) to set "aaa.jpg" as default name in textfield.
    when I change the filter to "*.png, ", I want to change the text in textfield to "aaa.png", Actually, I used setSelectedFile(File), If there is an existed file named "aaa.png", this file will be selected on fileView, but the name will not be shown on the textfield. Anybody has ideas?
    Thanks in advanced.

    I really thank you for your answer, but it seems you misunderstand what I said because of my poor english..
    what I said is:
    after you open the filechooser, the filechooser has a combobox to choose file filter and a field to show filename.
    what I want is:
    when you open the filechooser, initial name in field is "test. jpg"
    change filter, "test.jpg" will be change to "test.gif" in the field.
    I don't want to close the filechooser.
    That's why I used a listener to listen JFileChooser.FILE_FILTER_CHANGED_PROPERTY event.
    and I modified your codes

  • How to keep details grouped together when have more than 1 details section

    I want to create a report that has two different detail sections, and then have the report first print all of the results of the first detail section (DETAIL A), followed by the results of the second detail section (DETAIL B).
    But CR prints the first line of DETAIL A, followed by the first line of DETAIL B. It then goes on to the second line of DETAIL A, followed by the second line of DETAIL B, and so on.
    Can anyone tell me how to keep DETAIL A together, followed by DETAIL B?
    thx, jon

    Assuming the data for the two formats are not in the same record, add a new field to the data record (or calculate it based on the record's data) with a value of A or B, then group by it.
    If the data IS in the same record (i.e., one data record generating both formats), subreports are the only way that I can think of...
    HTH,
