How to Stop one users ipad from backing up to My User iTunes

I have 3 Users on the mac.
We each have either an iPhone, iPad or iPad mini.
They often all stayed plugged in for charging when not in use.
When I open my user name iTunes, I want to jsut see and backup just my devices.
is the a way to just select which devices connect to my user iTunes

Ah, OK, I'll try again.  I went straight to the question, avoiding all the irrelevant distractions associated with so many posts, in order to prevent the thread going off on a tangent.  But I can see that that won't work.
Getting the irrelevant stuff out the way first:
MacTower with 6 USB PORTS, 4 on the back, two on the front.  No hubs.  All devices charge just fine.
3 different Users of the Mac, each with their own loggin Username.  Two of them are computer incompetent, and just can't seem to look at iTunes when there are different iDevices plugged in without choosing or otherwise changing sync settings of devices that are not theirs.... despite the fact they are named with their own names.
So, back to the question.
3 different iDevices ( iPod, iPad & iPhone) are all plugged in.
Each device belongs to different User
User A comes along and logs in
Fires up iTunes
iTunes recognises all three devices and connects to them all
iTunes  backs  up a each connected device, and shows them all in the sidebar.
I want to set iTunes up so it only backups Users A's device.
Better still, not have Users B&C's devices appear when logged in as User A

  • How do I stop a synced iPad from adding play counts to my iTunes?

    I organise my parents' iPad 3 with iTunes, they're playing music on it and their plays are automatically added to my iTunes play count. For several reasons, I don't want this to happen. I can't find any setting to disable it though. Can anyone help?
    OS: Windows 7
    iTunes version: 10.6.3.25
    The new iPad, iOS 5.1.1
    Thanks!

    My girfriend and I used to share a desktop. What we had to remind ourselves to do, was to make sure the correct AppleID is being used when we'd each sync. In other words, this was the best way to keep our music seperate.
    Now, for your play counts...
    Get on the desktop with your AppleID being used on iTunes. Right-click on each song your parents have 'overplayed' (or just which songs you don't want reflected as your plays)... scroll down on that right-click menu to "Reset Plays". This will set the songs recent play count to zero.
    Once you've done this to all the songs necessary, sync your device with your AppleID.
    Now, from now on... DO NOT let your parents sync their iPad on your AppleID. Make sure they use their own.
    If your parents are anything like mine... but its best to keep our music libraries segregated.

  • How to stop safari on iPad from opening tabs

    When browsing, Safari opens new tabs unexpectedly when I do not want a new tab.  I end up with many tabs, often more than a dozen, open unnecessarily.
    Is there a way to control or stop Safari from opening volumes of tabs?  Under what conditions does it open new tabs?

    Sorry, you can't. Tabs came with iOS5 I believe. Best you can do is manage them and close extras as they pop up.

  • How do I keep my iPad from switching back and forth from my Apple ID to my husbands Apple ID?

    How do I keep my iPad from switching back and forth from my Apple ID to my husbands Apple ID?

    Your question confuses me because there is no way that the iPad can switch Apple ID's without user input. Where are you seeing evidence of this?
    If you are seeing app updates that require your husbands ID, that's because those apps were purchased with his ID and will always require his ID and password for updates.
    If you are seeing his ID elsewhere, explain....

    If you don't have an icloud account, then icloud is not the thing that's popping up a window.
    If you are being asked to enter a password when accessing itunes, then the problem may be that you have purchased items (apps, songs, etc) on the device that were purchased using a different itunes account than the one you currently have defined on your device. 
    Purchased items are forever associated with the itunes account (the apple ID) that was used to make the purchase.  If you change the ID on the device, you won't be able to update any of them.  You'll have to purchase them again.

  • My daughter's iPad is backing up to my iCloud, which is how we set it up originally. Now she has her own iPhone with her own iCloud. How can I get her iPad to back up to her own iCloud?

    My daughter's iPad is backing up to my iCloud, which is how we set it up originally. Now she has her own iPhone with her own iCloud. How can I get her iPad to back up to her own iCloud?  Her iPad is taking up 3.4MB of my 5MB. I need my space back!

    Yes, that's correct, it won't affect your account or your devices in any way.
    Use the delete account button in the iCloud settings.
    Then enter her iCloud details in the new screen that appears and log in. She should then be returned to the screen above but with her Apple ID at the top, enable the services she wishes to use and then tap the storage & backup option and ensure that iCloud backup is turned on.

  • How to stop the tab bar from automatically hiding itself?

    ive only found how to stop the address bar from disappearing and everyone with the tab problem seems to have posted this over a week ago and still hasnt been fixed yet if noone has a fix im out and done with firefox they can suck a fat one
    why add this feature! i can understand the address bar but not the tabs all you have to do to hide it was push the tab button again and its gone was that so fucking hard that you had ruin a perfectly fine browser

    Hello,
    In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and facilitate future improvements to Firefox, the option to hide the tab bar was removed.
    Fortunately, this can easily be resolved if you desire the keep tabs hidden. You can install "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/hide-tab-bar-with-one-tab/ Hide tab bar with one tab]", an extension hosted on Mozilla's add-ons site, which will restore the ability to hide the tab bar.
    Thank you and I hope this helps!

    Anyone know how to stop the "activate" box from blocking usage of a perfectly legal copy of Ilisten? I want to help my dyslexic grandson and this box, including the activation code, keeps popping up, keeping me from using the software. I activated the program and did a few profile building sessions, now it pops up each time I start the program, blocking me from using it. Help sure would be appreciated.

    I looked at your post this morning and did not know enough to respond, other than to find out that links to iListen now go to newer, renamed software. Considering it's been nine hours with no response, I'm suspecting few people here have experience with that software. You could contact the current copmany that used to sell that package and see if they have any archived support info.
    BTW: please check you entry for "Mac OS" in your profile. It says iOS, which cannot run on an iMac. iOS is the system for phone and iPads but can't run on Mac computers. Do "About this Mac" from the Apple menu and see what it says about the OS version. Should look like this:
    If the "Processor" line says "Intel," you have a newer Mac than the old modles this forum covers; Intel iMac have their very own forum here:

  • How do i keep my ipad from going to sleep during presentations

    I'm using Evernote for notes during a presentation. How do I keep the iPad from going to sleep so I can read my notes?

    Bey you have have an MS Exchange account on the iPad (through your work) and they are limiting the options you have (disabling 1, 3, 4 & Never).
    Try this...
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Select the Exchange account then set it Off.
    Go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock and you should see all options.
    Set it to what you want.
    Then turn on the Exchange account.
    The Auto-Lock settings should stay.
    However, if you go back and view the Auto-Lock settings, it will change back toonly  2 and 5.

    Again, iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per device. Any other backups listed are backups created from restore points. These are time/date stamped & are not overwritten.

  • Anyone any advice on how to stop my mail "activity" from continuously caching? is this a problem? I have had inbox issues recently that are not resolved yet but I am not sure if they are related.

    Anyone any advice on how to stop my mail "activity" from continuously caching? is this a problem? I have had inbox issues recently that are not resolved yet but I am not sure if they are related.

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • How to exclude music and pictures from backing with USMT in SCCM 2012 SP1?

    How to exclude music and pictures from backing with USMT in SCCM 2012 SP1?
    I know we can use config.xml but I m not sure what all steps to take.
    Below is my understanding
    1. Create Custom.xml file using below
      <component context="System" type="Documents">
            <displayName>Test</displayName>
            <role role="Data">
                <rules>
                 <unconditionalExclude>
                            <objectSet>
        <script>MigXmlHelper.GenerateDrivePatterns ("* [*.mp3]", "Fixed")</script>
                            </objectSet>
                 </unconditionalExclude>
                </rules>
            </role>
        </component>
    </migration>
    2. Save as Custom.xml.
    3. Copy it to USMT source files package in both the x86 and x64 subfolders and update the relevant USMT package distribution points.
    I am confused as where in task sequence will we specify the custom.config file.

    Edit the miguser.xml file. The default list is as follows:
    -<objectSet>
