Manually Updating iPod on two versions of i tunes

I use i-Tunes 7 in work and an earlier version at home. Since updating my iPod manually in work I have been unable to drag any music on to my iPod at home.The music is from my own CD collection so it is not purchased and both versions are set to manually update.When I try and drag the folder I get a circle with a line through it as if this is not allowed. Is this because i have an earlier version at home? Is there any way around this as i dont have an internet connection at home.

as long it is in manual update mode before you plug it in, you will be fine. it will not delete any of your songs if it is in manual. you will be able to drag and drop files into your ipod without any problems.

Cannot update ipod software from version 1.0.2 to 1.0.3

I cannot update ipod software from version 1.0.2 to 1.0.3. The message says, "The ipod cannot be updated because it contains files that are in use by another application." It's an ipod nano 7th generation. My Mac OS X is version 10.6.8. What should I do?

Temporarily disable ALL of your anitvirus/antispyware software or in your AV software turn off iPod scanning.

Can't manually update shuffle on two computers.

I have my music on two computers. One is my Mac at home; the other is a Windows machine at work (all my own music). My computer at home was originally used to load some songs onto my Suffle. Sometimes I download a podcast at work and want to listen to it on my way home from my Shuffle, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to manually load a single song onto the Shuffle at work without redisignating the work computer as the computer associated with this iPod and erasing all the songs.
Nowhere can I find the "manual update" option that everyone talks about in the software. It just isnt' there!
Of course, I know I'm missing something, which is why I'm posting to the forum.

I think I finally found the answer to my question from reading several other posts on this matter. I've learned that the Shuffle is different than at least some other iPods in that it is NOT able to be loaded with songs from more than one computer. It can only be linked to a single computer, unlike other iPods which actually can be loaded with songs from multiple computers.
At least I feel better, knowing that I wasn't overlooking something that was there.

How to manually update ipod?

I have chosen the option to 'Manually manage music and videos'. Previously I updated my ipod by dragging new songs from my itunes library and dropping them in my ipod library. However, since I have updated to itunes 7, I can no longer see my ipod library on itunes, instead I only see the summary of my ipod. How can I manually update the ipod?

Next to the iPod (on the left) there should be a little disclosure triangle.
Click on it so that it points down.
Underneath your ipod you should now see the word "music". Click on that.
Now do you see the songs on your iPod?

Manually updating iPod on seperate comp

Question, can I update my iPod with songs on a comp that is not my home one? I selected 'Manual Update', but if it'll still delete my songs that aren't in the Library, I don't wanna do anything. If the songs get deleted, I'll be in big trouble, cause I'm far away from home, and I still have a month left til I get back. I'm guessing that 'Manual Update' won't affect any of my current songs, but I just want some assurance.
Thanks -

as long it is in manual update mode before you plug it in, you will be fine. it will not delete any of your songs if it is in manual. you will be able to drag and drop files into your ipod without any problems.

Manually Updating iPod

If my iPod is set to automatically update when I connect to my computer, how can I change the setting to manually update instead. I have music that is no longer on my computer, but is on my iPod, and I don't want the iPod to ersase the songs on it when I connect to the computer.

You'll eventually want to Transfer music manually
But first, you'll want to 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.

Manually updating iPod - Does it update star ratings as well?

I just bought a brand new 5G iPod, and decided to manually update it. So I have to click and drag songs to it. My question is when I connect the iPod, will iTunes automatically update any play counts / star ratings I've added to songs on my iPod, or do I have to do something special in order for those to transfer?

when I connect the iPod, will iTunes automatically update any play counts / star ratings I've added to songs on my iPod
No, it won't.... not if you're using manual updates.
This only works if you are automatically updating your iPod.

Manually updating ipod nano

Which update button are you referring to?
I am not aware of an 'Update Button' in iTunes, do you mean the Update iPod option in the iTunes 'File' menu?

Updating iPod Touch Software Version and Apps saved game data

When I transfer my apps from iPod touch to iTunes will it also moved the saved game data like in Zombie Cafe, Amateur Surgeon 2 so on and so fort? Because I want to update my software version...

No. Transferring the app to the computer only transfers the app itself. not app data. App dat is stored in the iPod backup that iTunes makes as the first step of the a sync and of an update. Therefore, I would do one last sync of the iPod before restoring and ensure that the backup gets made. You can check by going to the Devices tab in iTunes' Preferences and looking at the date of the backup. Also, make sure your apps are in your iTunes library since the apps themselves are not in the backup but are synced to the iPod at the end of the update.

Updating iPod firmware to version 1.03 - internet connection issue

Hi,
I was trying to update my iPod firmware, but it couldnt download the firmware package, trying to convince me I was not connected to the internet.
How can man adjust connection settings for the iTunes, to be able to connect and download the update finally?
I must add that I'm 100% connected to the internet.
Another question is - what i get once i update to version 1.03. The thing i'm looking for the most is the ability of skipping albums, not just songs.
Thanks
Ivan

1.0.3 will not provide the ability to skip albums... shuffles don't have that capability.
Sorry...

After running CC update I have TWO versions of Photoshop CC. Which should I delete?

I had the CC version of Photoshop installed. A week or two ago I ran the CC updater and it listed something called "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014" in addition to "Adobe Photoshop CC." I selected "update all" and ended up with what appear to be two copies of Photoshop on my OS X Mac:
Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 - version 15.0.0
Adobe Photoshop CC - version 14.2.1
Questions:
It seems like the "CC 2014" copy is a new version and that I do not need the original "CC" installation, right?
Should I just run the uninstaller in the "CC" version folder, and will this leave the "CC 2014" intact?
Is there a reason this happened, and should I do anything to prevent a repeat?
Thanks,
Dan

This messages says (at least some) CC 2014 programs use NEW plugins https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1499663
-so do not uninstall the older CC programs if you use plugins in your programs until you are sure you have plugins that work in CC2014
If you are sure you don't need the old CC programs
