HT1495 How can I stop automatic syncing when device is plugged in

I have turned my iPad 1 into a loaner to granddaughters. I wish to plug it in to one of my computers for syncing, posting apps and song lists, but don't want it do draw data from the existing files. I want it to work the same way my iPhone and iPad work now; iTunes opens up and shows two devices, each separate from the other but both syncing to separate data on the same computer. I can't figure out how to do that from reading you HT 1495. Any procedure available for that?

On the Devices tab in Edit > Preferences on your computer's iTunes there should be a tickbox for 'prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically'. Is that what you mean ? That setting should apply to all devices that are connected to that iTunes.

How can I stop my IOS 7 device from sharing my location with IOS 8 devices?

How can I stop my IOS 7 device from sharing my location with IOS 8 devices? My friend who upgraded their device to IOS 8 said that I'm automatically sharing my location via iMessage details. I don't want to upgrade to IOS 8 yet because I don't have space. Is there a way to disable sharing my location with IOS 8 devices by default? I don't want to turn all location services off because I frequently use Google Maps.

Actually that's not true. I have a device (iPhone) running ios 7. My friend has an iphone running ios 8. When she clicked into her imessage thread with me, clicks on details in the top right corner it will show her my GPS location. It's doing this automatically because I do not have ios 8 on my phone therefore I don't have the ability to "stop sharing my location". Apple is automatically sharing the location. If you are using an ios 8, apple automatically pulls in location data for anyone you are messaging not using ios 8. I haven't found a way around this unless you turn off all location services on your phone which is immensely disturbing.

When I take pictures from front camera it automatically flips them how can I stop that?, When I take pictures from front camera it automatically flips them how can I stop that?

I just started to do this not to long ago. When I take a picture from my front camera, when I view it, it's rotated to the opposite side. How can I fix this?

Some mail programs, including Apple Mail, can reduce the size of images that are attached to a message. It's happening at the sender's end, and all you can do is ask the sender for a larger image.

How can I stop Firefox clicking when I select an option from a drop-down menu? It's bloody annoying.

When I select an option from the pull-down menus, or a link from right-clicking on the forward or back buttons, it makes a click sound. I'm using this on a machine that I use for recording and I don't want clicks on my soundtrack. How can I turn it off - I've looked through about:config and preferences but haven't seen any way to select or disable such a feature.
I'm using FF 8.0 on Ubuntu Studio.

Hi,
It could be a Ubuntu Studio sound preference. You may have to turn off mouse click sound effects in the system.

Can I interrupt an automatic update to iPhoto? If so, how? And how can I stop automatic updates? This current update has been running for over 4 hours now. I have a MacBook Pro w/OSX 10.9.1

Can I interrupt an automatic update to iPhoto? Also, how can I turn OFF automatic updates?

as Larry said, just a caution about the App Store Preferences:
If you do not want your software to update automatically, disable "Install app updates". But better not disable the option "Install system data files and security updates". If there are security updates available, it is important to get them installed asap.

HT201320 how can i stop automatic configuration of email accounts on my ipad...the ports are not correct and i cannot access my email

i cannot get my "frontier" email account set up on my ipad so that i cannot either or receive email. Frontier says that the "automatic" verifying tool puts the wrong ports in and that is why i cannot get or send emails from the ipad. We know we have the correct name and password in but when in comes to verifying, an error message comes up and says "the wrong user name or password has been entered".
How do i disable the automatic set up of email so i can be assured the correct ports are enabled?

-Tap "Settings" app,
-Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" option on the left hand side,
-On the right, under "Accounts" on top, tap "Add Account...",
-Select one of the email service providers or "Other",
-Under "Mail", tap "Add Mail Account",
-A window pops up and enter your new email account details.
-Repeat for new email accounts.

How can I stop birthdays syncing to my iPhone?

I use a lot of birthdays in Address Book that are only related to my work, but they're not personally important so I don't want them all being synced to my iPhone and making alarms. Is there a way I can stop the birthday info syncing to the iPhone? My preference would be to have only personal birthdays (and not work-related ones) syncing but if it's got to be one way OR the other then I'd like to just stop all birthdays from syncing.
Much appreciation in advance for any help or advice on this.

The iphone birthday calendar pulls its data from Address Book. To turn this calendar off, tap on the "Calendar" icon, tap "Calendars", scroll down to "Other", remove the check next to "Birthdays".

How can I stop flashing screen when trying to open Google calendar?

This is just a recent problem that has come up and I have run all kinds of diagnostics, changed from IE 9 to IE 8, but I still get a fast flashing IE screen and at the top, it's like Google and IE are battling it out over which one owns the page, even though I only have IE 8 downloaded, not Chrome.
I also can't save Events on my calendar (when I could get into it) and have disabled the scripts, etc. in IE Tools. What can I do about these problems and what do they mean?

How can I stop getting emails when adding events to iCal (Mac) or Calendar (iOS)?

This question could just as well go to the iCloud on my Mac community...
I put 'I' in the topic for brevity but it's actually my wife who gets emails every time either of us adds or edits events, whether we do it in iCal on either of our Macs or in Calendar on our iOS devices. Presumably this is to do with a setting in iCloud somewhere, but I've searched high and low and can’t find it. I've also compared settings on our Macs and phones and can't find anything that could be the culprit. It's driving her nuts!
For more information, we share all our calendars so that either of us read and write any of them, and we're both on iOS 5.1 on our iPhones (hers is a 3GS, mine's a 4), and we're both on Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion (2010 27" iMac and 2011 MacBook Pro respectively).

this seems to be a new "bug" on iCloud. It's happened to many users (judging by the posts here). My wife and I have one shared calendar and we've been happily using it without the email problems (because I had set iCloud NOT to email us whenever an event changed - this was done at icloud.com, a setting there). Recently we began getting emails. I suspect a change in iCloud that was in error, because I just checked my setting and the option to have an email sent when an event changes is not checked.

Can I Stop Automatic Import when a CD is inserted?

Is there a way to set iTUNES so that when I insert a CD into computer, it doesn't AUTOMATICALLY import the CD? I would prefer to select IMPORT myself.
I've looked in preferences and didn't see this option (Or I missed it)...
Thanks.

Open iTunes, go to Preferences>Advanced>Importing and from the drop down menu beside the words "On CD insert" choose "Show Songs"

How can i stop getting pinwheels when i add music?

Mac OSX v. 10.6.7, 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, usb 2TB WD external HD
ever since my last update for itunes, whenever i add music, it is taking 10x longer to add the files and i get pinwheels for over a minute. for example, i added a 9 track album and it took almost 7 minutes to complete the adding of the files. it has never taken this long. any help??

long shot but try for good measure:
check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in the finder, right-click on it and get info. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and apply to enclosed items like so
the important part is to apply to enclosed items !
