Media Go - Stop Auto Sync

Hi there,
I have an Xperia Z2 and i use Medoa Go for media management. When i plug the phone into my PC via USB in auto-syncs which is fine. However the annoying thing is i'm running a USB storage device (Sandisk Ultrafit) which i have permanently placed in the back of my pc which contains all of my work (i'm self employed).
Media Go also keeps auto-syncing this device every time i start the program as it obviously sees it as removable media. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? If so i can't find it in the Media Go preferences. I thought i may be able to disable this via Windows settings (probably the wrong forum).
I'm not going to abort using the USB device so if i can't sort it Media Go will, er, have to go.
Any help would be appreciated.

The next time you connect your IPOD, check the box that pops up in ITunes 7. It should state whether the update setting is checked as "manual", if so, there s/b a grey checked box right below that says disc enabled. If that's the case, ignore what the IPOD says...Last night I was playing with this for hours and I finally was able to change the update setting to manual once I upgraded to version 7. Despite the "Do not Disconnect" warning, My IPOD had the same number of music files before and after.
You can also, charge your IPOD on a computer that doesn't have Itunes loaded.

Itunes 10 will not stop auto syncing

I have itunes 10 on a mac and a 160 gb ipod classic.
it will not stop auto syncing when I plug in my ipod, even though "do not auto Sync" button is checked as well as checking off "do not open itunes automatically.
It syncs FOREVER. I would love to find a way to stop this from happening. I dread plugging in my ipod to put on new music etc.

I have had this problem with Windows 7 and iTunes updates for some time. Each time it takes hours to solve but with the over the air upgrade to IOS6 on my iPhone and iPad, I was determined to solve and remember what I did, So here it is:

How do I stop auto-sync?

I need to get my Mac to stop auto-syncing my Address Book (so that you don't see those arrows spinning up on my menu bar). Any ideas?
Thanks,
Raymond

http://raymondrodriguez.net/sync.jpg
Ok, ever since I plugged my new iPad into my MacBook, my MacBook kept popping up messages about merging my Yahoo contacts with Address Book. I resisted these constant pop up messages for over a week and then I finally gave in and said "Fine, do it!" So then I checked Address Book on the MacBook and it's duplicated most of my contacts many times over. Around 10 times each. I figured it was an error so I went and deleted all of the copies. I noticed this arrow thing spinning on my menu bar later on that day (syncing MobileMe) and so I canceled the sync. After that I checked Address Book and all those contacts were copied all over again. Now it's been about two weeks and each of those contacts has 94 copies each(!!!). I don't have MobileMe so when I go into my System Prefs I can't edit it to stop doing this syncing process since it's asking me for my member name and password. So frustrating!
I hope that made some sense to you.
Thanks,
Raymond

How do i stop auto sync on my ipod?

I have it set for manual. I have gone into Itunes preferences and set that to not allow auto sync. I have even tried holding down control and shift when I plug my ipod in and it still starts synching. The only way I can get it to stop is to unplug it. Can someone please help! This is getting really irritating.
Thanks
Jen

Hopefully, after you have disable AutoSync, and have tick this Manually Manage option in the Summary screen
Then check that the Auto fill option is unticked.in the Music tab
Also disable the iTunes Auto Updates.
Good Luck!

Stop auto sync & change to manual sync

My Blackberry Curve 8330 automatically syncs all music from windows media when I open the mass storage & I want to know how to make it stop so I can manually sync only songs I want.

MfE stopped auto-syncing and get sync error

I purchased an E71 about a month ago and have been using MfE with our 2003 Exchange server. Things have been going great until recent. i keep it sync'd at all times and the 'lightning bolt' symbol was always next to the MfE inbox. As of yesterday, it lost it. I can, however, sync manually. BUT, when i'm in the settings for MfE, i notice under the "Current Status" as it syncs, it will stop and say "Connect Failed. Waiting to Retry." It has said "Connected" but will eventually fail and go back to the other message of failed.
Any tips or advice on why all of the sudden this happened? Thanks very much for helping!

Hi, I have the exact same problem since I bought my device. I can pull email but it doesn't sync automatically and push and always says "connect failed. waiting to retry under MFE." Have you received any responses to your message or fixed your problem?

Stop Auto Sync & External Drive

Just registered - new to this!
I installed iTunes 7 (which may or may not be the cause). When iTunes is not running & I plug my iPod in to the computer to charge - "Do Not Disconnect" starts flashing & iPod show up as an external disk. It can only be disconnected by ejecting or starting itunes 7 and letting it do it's sync run.
How do I stop this - In itunes 7 none of the 4 Options are selected on hte summary page.
All I want to do is what I've done for the past year - come home from work and plug the iPod into the computer to charge it up. I don't want to sit there and have to now eject it so it stops flashing. i don't need it to be an external drive - although I suspect the fact that I tried this yesterday and had to restore & update to iT 7 had something to do with this...... I should have just left it alone!!! Help please.

How do I stop auto sync then sync only one item manually

I have 5 Macs. They are all set to sync using dot mac.
I hadn't used 2 of them lately, the others were being synced.
I noticed that mail had 2 of the exact smart folders (with several folders within them). And all of the criteria disappeared from the smart folders.
I wanted to get the smart mailbox criteria from the computers I had not synced lately as that was still ok.
So I thought I could turn off the syncing for mail rules, signatures and smart mailboxes by removing the check mark from that option. But immediately upon syncing, my smart mail box was replaced with 2 duplicates with no criteria available. So it seems that ignored the fact that the option was not checked when I synced.
Now I have 1 mac left. On that Mac I would like to sync bookmarks, calendars, contacts, keychains. But I would like to keep the smart mailboxes the way they are and send them to the other macs.
The problem is that my MacBook Pro is set for automatic syncing. And when I turn it on, it will connect wirelessly and automatically sync.
How do I get to it quick enough so the sync will not happen and I can put it in manual mode?
Then how do I sync just what I want to sync? And how do I then sync the smart mailboxes back to the other macs?
I don't want to turn on the MBP until I know exactly what to do.

This is actually a .Mac Sync issue, and has nothing to do with iSync. You'll find a forum for .Mac Sync users here:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
To correct the issue you outline, you will have to start your MacBook Pro and disable AirPort at the first opportunity to prevent network connection and a subsequent synchronization event initiation.
Then, launch the System Preferences application, press the Sync tab, and select Manually from the Synchronize with .Mac: menu. Once you've done that, turn AirPort on again.
Then press the Advanced tab and wait for your registered device list to be refreshed. Press the Reset Sync Data… button in the lower left corner of the dialog box. From the Replace: menu, choose the Mail Rules, Signatures and Smart Mailboxes data descriptor that identifies the information you want to transfer from your MacBook Pro to the rest of the synchronization pool.
Press the right-faccing arrow so that the animated orange arrow moves from left to right, and the label changes to read On .Mac with sync info from this computer. Then press the Replace button to propagate your smart mailbox structures to .Mac and your other sync clients.
Remember that Automatically means essentially whenever a change is made, and in any event, no less than once each hour. Any change, even an inadvertent one, will propagate through the synchronization pools when an event is triggered, so you will want to carefully consider your selection of that option.

How do I stop auto sync of my iPad?

How do I get my iPad to not automatically start syncing when I plug it into iTunes? My iPhone doesn't autosync, but I can't figure out how to do this with the iPad. Thanks!

It's an iTunes option. Connect the iPad and select it on the left side of iTunes.
On the "Summary tab at the top, uncheck "Open iTunes when this iPad is connected" You can also go thru the tabs and uncheck sync "contacts, calendars, mail", Apps, Movies, Music, Tv shows, Podcasts, books, and photos depending on what you want to do.

Stop auto sync!!!

My external hard drive crashed. It contained all my music.
I want to pull my music that is still on my ipod to my new external drive...
but I had my ipod set to automatically sync when I connected it with my firewire cable...
If I connect my ipod, won't it try to sync with my empty drive, thus erasing everything I have left?
How do I switch it to manual before I connect it again?
Thanks!

Versamail Auto-sync feature not working with AOL mail w/Treo 700p (Verizon)

I'm having a problem with the Auto-sync feature not working with my 700p (verizon) with my aol mail. It had worked perfect since May 2007. Just started having problems End of April 2008. Sounded like I needed another incoming mail server from aol other than: imap.aol.com, aol told me they also use pop.aol.com, that isn't working either. I get an error message that says "last auto-sync attempt failed."....Anyone else having this issue? I'm trying to decide whether to get rid of my aol mail of 14 yrs and use other address to continue using versamail 3.5 or keep aol and use Verizon Wireless sync. I do not like how wireless sync sends mail to outbox and then syncs vs sending right away. Please help...
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

I am having the EXACT same problem: Palm 700p, Versamail, AOL, Verizon.
It started about 1 month ago. The GET still works, but AUTO-SYNC does not...After spending hours on the phone with Palm tech support, and reaching someone who said AOL had changed something in their servers. They suggested TRYING Chatteremail, another Palm product. I have tried it for 20+ days out of the 30 days you get for free. It works pretty well, but NOT every e-mail that goes to my AOL acct is making it to my phone. The thing that's great about Chatter is that can be "live" all of time. Not auto-syncing every 15 minutes.
It's very frustrating....The same way the Versamail just stopping auto-syncing is very frustrating. With Versamail, sometimes I did not even get the error message. If Chatteremail worked consistently, I would bite the bullet, and pay for it, but to pay for it, and have it not pull down all the e-mails, all the time is not good.
I spoke to Palm Tech Support in N. America today, and they say the way AOL uses IMAP servers is in a non-traditional way, and it's very hard to deal with. They suggest ditching AOL, and using something reliable for syncing purposes like GMAIL. It's just hard to cut the cord. The man I was on the phone with knew of my problem, and he solved it by getting rid of AOL. It's just tough, since so many people have the e-mail address for me.
On http://mobile.aol.com/aolproducts/mobile-email/mail-client
there seems to be some indication when you click on Smart Phones on left, that Coming Soon is Palm, but I don't know if that's going to be downloadable for 700p, or Palms moving forward. Or how far away that is.
I tried wireless sync and hated it.
This is really a pain in the butt.
*** Who did you speak to at AOL?
*** How did you reach them? e-mail? phone #?
I also did a search and found another program called "Snappermail", which I might try, and see if it's any better than Chatteremail.

How can I stop apps from auto-syncing on one of my computers...?

Hi all
I have an ipad 2 that I sync to my MacBook Pro at home. I also have a few other computers on the same iTunes Store account. One of which is my work iMac 27inch (Lion and iTunes 10.5.2). Every morning when I turn on iTunes it trys to download the apps that I have downloaded from the appstore on my iPad. Some of these are quite big and I certainly dont need them on my work computer. I have turned off auto-syncing of everything on the iMac and iPad but every morning I have to manually go to the Downloads on the sidebar and pause/delete the active downloads. Even if I delete them they reappear the next time I open iTunes. Very annoying...??? Any ideas...???
Richie

Hah.... That was quick...! Seems to have worked too. Very easy. Annoyed with myself that I didnt see that.
Thanks a million
Richie

IPod shuffle= no pref. to stop auto update/sync with itunes 7

If you have an ipod shuffle and you plug it in to your laptop, with your itunes library located on an external drive, itunes 7 will automatically sync the shuffle with itunes 7 and if the ext. drive is disconnected, subsequently erase all songs on the ipod, because it cannot find the itunes library.
this stinks.
I see no solution, until apple changes or adds a preference like "manually manage music" which seems to be available for other ipods, but not the shuffle:(
even enable disk use doesn't help:

my OG thread from last week:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3258360#3258360

hmm - curiouser and curiouser
I've now managed to get it to manually update (after iTunes took 100% of system resources and I had to force quit it...) but that still doesn't really help me with the auto-sync feature which still won't work
aaaaaaggggggghhhhh

(auto-)syncing is stopped when just one file causes an error message

I tried auto-sync an manual sync, but whenever there's a file that can't be tranfered to my ipod classic, the whole process is interupted. that's really annoying because I can't monitor the whole process. is there any chance to skip files that won't be transferred to the ipod?

I am having a similar problem. Dead old drive - trying to sync to the new computer, but don't want to put it on the hard drive, but rather on an external drive. It looks like the files are there, but they don't show up in the library. Any help for that situation? I've been battling this for about 3 months and haven't been able to add anything new to my iPod since then. Help!
