Music Syncing When I Dont Want It

I have the sync only selected playlist option on my iPhone and I've turned off the show music from itunes option but for some reason it still has random songs from albums I have purchased and it wont even be the whole album it'll be one or 2 or more songs and i downloaded the new update for ios7 and ive tried all sorts of ways to get rid of them but I cant seem to do it, any ideas?

I had all sorts of problems with iTunes after updating to io7s (and 7.0.2). I deleted and reinstalled iTunes (backing up my iPhone first), then restored my phone. Restoring is a hasstle and takes time. However, everyting seems to work OK now.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

My ipod shuffles even when i dont want it to how do i correct this

my ipod shuffles even when i dont want it to, how do i correct this problem

You most likely just have Shake to shuffle turned on.
Shake can be disabled in two ways to prevent accidental activation of the feature:
Setting the hold switch on the top of the iPod nano to on.
Turn off the Shake feature by choosing Settings > Playback on iPod nano (4th and 5th generation). For iPod nano (6th generation), from the Home screen, tap Settings > Music and then tap the On/Off switch next to "Shake to Shuffle".

Problem with chapters playing when i dont want them to

OK let me explain what I have going here. I have 4 timelines for seperate videos in my project. Each has a motion button on the main menu that will play each one independantly and then return to the main menu and a "play it all" button the will play them in order. Ok all that works fine except for one thing. I want to video that shows in my thumbnails on the main menu to be a seperate video than what is actually in the feature DVD so after searching the forum I found a solution that is working. What I did was to take the video I wanted to use for the thumbnails and add that to the end of each timeline as a new chapter and then added a poster frame to control what showed in the thumbnail.
So to review.....each timeline had two chapters one that I want to show in the feature DVD and one that I do not.
By using the end actions oneach of the first videos in each timeline I can get the DVD to play from the beginning and skip the video I dont want seen. However, .....and here is the reason for my post FINALLY....when i use the chapter skip on the preview it of course skips to the video I dont want shown.....the last video on each timeline. So instead of having 4 chapters I now have 8....4 of each i would like to not be accessable at all.
Any way to to what I am wanting to do which essentially is tell Encore to skipthose chapters on the chapter skip button on the player??
thanks for any help in advance!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately not, if you are using that workaround. I can offer two suggestions:
1. Create your entire motion menu background (including the thumbnail animations) in Premiere or After Effects, then use that as a background video on your menu that is set up with buttons containing
only subpicture layers (no other layers, including thumbnail layers).
2. Keep your current workaround and add user operations to the timeline so that Next/Previous chapter navigation is prohibited.

Everytime I sync my computer puts all of my apps onto my iPhone when i dont want it to.

Antime I sync my iPhone on my computer it puts all the apps on my computer (which came from my iPod Touch (4th generation)) but I don't want them to.

You might need to uncheck "Automatically sync new apps" on the Apps tab of your iTunes sync settings, then make sure you only check the apps you want to have on your phone. See "Losing Some Apps, Gaining Others After Syncing" here: http://gigaom.com/apple/itunes-101-multiple-devices-one-itunes-account/.

How do I add my new Mac to FF Sync when i dont have my old PC anymore to get a sync password?

My PC that had originally had Firefox Sync on it and was up to date is no longer with me and I don't have the ability to get on to it as its been wiped.
I bought my new IMac and tried to add the IMac to the FF sync account I have set p prior on the Firefox servers yet it keeps telling me to add my new computer to the account by going on to my old PC.
How do I get my FF sync information on to my new IMac without doing that?

Script auto selects when i dont want it to

me again sry so this script
if (this.getField("race").value = "Human"){
if (this.getField("gender").value = "Male"){
var h_male = new Array ();
h_male[0] = "bob";
h_male[1] = "mathew";
h_male[2] = "andrew";
h_male[3] = "stephen";
h_male[4] = "ben";
var hm = math.floor(5*Math.random())
this.getField("character name").value = h_male[hm];}
else (this.getField("race").value = "Human")
(this.getField("gender").value = "Female");{
var h_female = new Array ();
h_female[0] = "michelle";
h_female[1] = "sarah";
h_female[2] = "skye";
h_female[3] = "kayla";
h_female[4] = "louise";
var hf = Math.floor(5*Math.random())
this.getField("character name").value = h_female[hf];}
now it sort of works the problem im having is that when i hit the random button it auto puts gender to male and random selects from h_female not the h_male
i might be wrong but i think its the (this.getField("gender").value = "Male") is writing to the field gender insted of reading it? if so how do i go about fixing it

Are you getting any errors in the JavaScript console?
I have a message about a missing code block terminator ,"}".
Once that is fixed, the next message is about the reference to 'math' is not defined.
Using the nested if:
// array for random names
var aNames = new Array();
// clear the field
event.value = '';
// test for race
if (this.getField("race").value == "Human"){
   // human chose
   // test for human gender
   if (this.getField("gender").value == "Male"){

      // populate male names
      aNames = ["bob", "mathew", "andrew", "stephen", "ben"];
      event.value = aNames[Math.floor(aNames.length * Math.random())];

Using the switch statement:

Itunes opens when i dont want it too

Ok i plug in my ipod to charge it and itunes flies up and it starts updating...how do i prevent that from happening?
DELL Windows XP

this happens because your iPod is set to auto-update and it is automatically going to open iTunes when you plug in your iPod to update it. So simply go to Prefrences --> iPod --> and check manually update this iPod.

LR4 resizes .dng when I dont want it to

Exporting my .nef files to .dng after editing them see's them going from full size 4692x3108 to 1024x768. Why?? I can save as .tif ok no problem. Using win 7 and latest LR version 4. Any help appreciated.

You could go an alternative route to export: do a "Convert to DNG" inside Library module, but leave "Delete originals after successful conversion" unchecked.
This will create a 2nd file inside LR catalog, where you could check in metadata panel which pixel dimensions it has. If ok, grab this DNG. You can remove the missing DNG-file afterwards from your catalog-
Same would be achieved if you re-import the exported DNG for checking. Then you could see if indeed maybe your export settings could have dome some unintended damage.

Before you restore the iPod from the backup that Dave had you make yu have to transfer stuff from the iPod to the computer since the backup does not contain the apps themselfes, music, synced phots and some other stuff. To see what a backup contains see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
To transfer iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For other stuff you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support CommunitiesA lot of thos are paid, especiall for more than a limited number of items. It is harder to find one that does synced photos.

My computer died rather rapidly so i had no chance to do a backup or anything. now i want to put itunes on my new computer but it will not sync with my ipod. i got my purchased music but not the playlists and it does not sync when i plug it in.

my computer hard drive died rather suddenly so i had no chance to do a back up or any thing. i put itunes on my new computer and got my purchased music but my ipod will not sync and i cannot get my playlists onto the computer. is there any way to get my playlists on my new computer and also get my ipod to sync. it is a waste of time to purchase new music and i do not want to purchase a new ipod since i have so much memory left on this one.

Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
Thanks to all.

Hey everyone! i have a external hardrive i keep my itunes library of songs on and it wont sync with my ipod touch inless i copy and paste it into my ipod device when thats conected. i dont want all the songs on there only checked ones. help plz!!

im having trouble with syncing my ipod touch with my itunes library that i keep on a external hardrive. when i plug up my external hardrive that has all my songs on it, it doesn't sync to my ipod correctly. i have to copy and paste the songs to my ipod device when its connected. i dont want all the songs on there and i want to be able to manually control whats on my ipod. and id like to take some songs off of the ipod also but i want them still in my itunes library though. i usually check the songs i want on the ipod but it isnt working that way maybe because its a external hardrive?? i never had a problem with past ipods with my library on itunes but i ran out of space on my computer and had to transfer all of the songs to my external hardrive. please someone help me!! i thought it would be simple! but it isnt the case! i plug up my hardrive then my ipod, i press sync and nothing gets transfered unless i copy and paste them to the ipod. even though it says ipod syncing in progress! this is really confusing! please help me!! sorry if this is jumbled up and confusing..

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.
