Need a 'How To' : How can I avoid that certain songs are synced??

Some songs should not be synced with my iPod touch.
for example:
iTunes: song 1 and song 2
iPod: only song 1
Thanks

You could use the option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" to manage your iPod. Syncing selected playlists is just like syncing your whole library only on a smaller scale and more "selectively". This is particularly useful when your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod. When your iPod is is set to sync selected playlists it automatically picks up any changes you made to that playlist in iTunes since you last connected. Anything you added to the playlist will be added to the iPod, anything you deleted from it will be deleted from the iPod. In other words the iTunes playlist and the iPod are kept "in sync".
To sync the iPod from a selected playlist open iTunes and create a playlist to sync your iPod from, call it -My iPod for example (the dash will position it at the top of the playlists in Sources). Drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod.
Another way to is to use the check boxes in iTunes choose "sync only checked songs and videos" in the iPod Summary tab. A word of warning on this method however. Using unchecking to manage an iPod is an option (and works fine when you are working with a small number of specialised tracks such as Christmas songs) but only if you can live with the other things unchecking does:
Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
Alternatively you could manage your iPod manually and simply drag the songs or playlists you want on the iPod from your iTunes library:

    Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
    Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
    If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
    It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
    If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
    In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
    Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
    The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

    Well if you got the Phone Pggray43 at a Local Corporate store in your Area)  you should be able to return it as long as you have all the contents.!  Phone, Charger and any other accessories that came with it the Box of Course.. As long as you have not went past the 14 Day return.. the store can go over what you used as in Air Time and Data..
    Now if you've went past the 14 Day return you be Liable to pay a E.T.F =  Early Termination Fee the fee for this is around $300 so hopefully you have not went past the 14 Day return window the Manager if Available is the one I would talk to tell them your on Social Security and you just can't afford a phone as this I'm sure they'll work with you to get something solved..
    Hope ya have Good Luck.! b33

  • My Library has ten more songs than my iPod. How can I find out which songs are not syncing?

    My Library has ten more songs than my iPod. How can I find out which songs are not syncing?
    I recently had to purchase a new hard drive. Because the size of my music collection exceeds 140 GB, I stored all of my music on a separate external hard drive. When I exported everything back into my new iTunes library, I found that I had about 200 more songs than I had in the previous library. After deleting most of those extraneous songs, I was able to get my library close to where it was before. However, after syncing to my iPod Classic, I noticed that only 34,853 of the 34,863 loaded. How can I figure out which of those ten songs in my library did not sync to my iPod?
    Yellow12

    It may be that the 10 songs are unchecked. To find them select songs view.
    If there is a column Heading marked with a tick then click on it to sort by this column.
    If the Column is not there then View > View Options and select the Checked column which will then display
    Check the songs by putting ticks in the empty boxes and resynch. Now those tracks should go over as well

  • HT204022 If I delete my photo stream photos off of my iPhone will they also delete from my photo stream on my MacBook Pro? If so how can I ensure that those photos are saved?

    If I delete my photo stream photos off of my iPhone will they also delete from my photo stream on my MacBook Pro? If so how can I ensure that those photos are saved?

    They will not be deleted if they have been imported to your iPhoto library.  To ensure this happens automatically, go to iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud and check Automatic Import:
    To confirm that they have been imported to your library, click on iCloud on the left sidebar of iPhoto, open your My Photo Stream album on the right, then Control-Click on your pictures.  If you see "Show in Library" in the pop-up, the picture has been imported to your library and you can safely delete it from photo stream.

    How can we verify that charges from iTunes are authentic when there is no record of them otherwise?

    If you purchased something, the charges are authentic.
    If you did not purchase anything, the charges are not yours.

  • How can I confirm that my extensions are compatible with FF ver 4 and ver 5 before I upgrade?

    When I have upgraded in the past I have been affected by extensions that do not work in the new version. How can I determine if my extensions are compatible with new versions. I have looked at knowledge base and other help but I can find nothing.

    Thanks, Forewarned is forearmed.
    Checking my incompatible extensions now seems to be less than when I just casually reviewed the list. Perhaps authors are still updating their products.
    Most of my incompatible extensions are not critical. Perhaps the most important is AARDVARK which I use extensive prior to printing bank statements.
    My incompatible extensions are:
    Aardvark
    Colourful Tabs
    Image ToolBar
    MS .NET Framework Assistant
    Quick Page Zoom
    Rewind/Fastforward Buttons
    Windows Update

  • How can I avoid that a virus read out all passwords memoried by Firefox? It was happend two weeks ago!

    My children where using some web sites about games to solve some problems. During this use a virus came via web interface into my desktop. My virus scanner shows this but could not avoid that this virus read out all my accounts memorized in Firefox and sent it into dark channels.
    I could restore the way how my accounts leave my Desktop. There was some accounts only memorized into Firefox inclusive passoword. These accounts would used from other persons in the meantime.
    My questions are:
    - How save are the memorized accounts-password combinations?
    - And: Is it possible that the Firefox Sync Account can transfer the virus from PC to PC by using the same Sync-Account? Or can I be sure that all other Firefox installations at other PSs will be clean after this attack at one Firefox-Installation during all installations use the same Sync-Account? What this question means in background: Via Sync can Plugins be installed at other systems. What happens, when a virus install a special virus-plugin? Would Sync it move to all other PCs?
    Best regards, Frank

    If you are using Sync to sync passwords then you likely aren't using a Master Password to protect the password.

  • How can I avoid that VMM places all Vms in 1 Lun?

    hi forums,
    we have a hyper-v + vmm + azure pack setup.
    Our storage presents 4 luns to all hosts. now it happened that 1 lun was full and the others still had plenty of space.
    shouldnt vmm balance the vms on the storage somehow to avoid that?
    thanks :>

    Hi
    Just to confirm, you are seeing VMs placed on all 4 LUNs. However, one is low on space, and the others have space. Can you let me know how imbalanced the VMs are - IE, how much data is on one disk compared to the others?
    If you try to create a new VM now, where is it placed? On the full disk, or on one of the others? Were the others added later, after some VMs were already deployed?
    I'd like to understand the root cause about what caused the imbalance, but for now you can relieve this situation by doing a storage migration to move a VM off the full LUN and onto another. As long as new VMs are going to the correct LUNs (the ones with
    the most space), then the problem should not recur.
    Lastly, exactly what version of VMM are you on? I didn't see that in your original question.
    Thanks, Hilton

  • How can I access iTunes; the songs are on an external hard drive?

    I have had an iBookG4 for almost 4 years now, and I recently had to get it updated to Leopard because the operating system was so out of date. Now though, my computer has no spare memory because the hard-drive is full with Leopard. So I have to keep my iTunes files on an external hard -drive. The problem is that when I want to play songs though iTunes, the file copies itself to my hard-drive, which I have no space for. Either that, or iTunes tells me that the files can't be found. In store when I got the operating system updated, I was told to press 'alt' before opening iTunes, so that the songs would play through the hard-drive, but this doesn't seem to work. Is there any way of being able to play the music through iTunes and the external drive only? This is very annoying because I recently got an iPod, and I can't seem to put any music onto it.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks very much for that!
    I have an extra question. While I was on the advanced settings, I changed the location of my iTunes folder from my computer harddisk to the external drive, so I could avoid having to go through my hard disk at all. Now when I have looked at my external hard drive, the folder with my music has disappeared, and I don't know where it is. Also, some song files aren't there any more because my computer only had room for the majority, but about 700 are still missing. However, all the songs seem to be playing through iTunes. What has happened?
    Many thanks,

  • How  can you avoid that an ABAB-Function works with an  EXPORT_PARAMETER

    Hello everybody,
    I have to call the ABAP-Function ECATT_EXECUTE via JCO.
    In SAP 7.0 there is a new EXPORT_PARAMETER for the function ECATT_EXECUTE, which is called E_RESULT_XML.
    There is a statement "IF E_RESULT_XML is requested" which gives always TRUE, so that the function tried to fill this Parmeter and an error occurred while processing.
    How you can avoid this ?
    What you can do, that this IF-Statement gives FALSE ?
    Every helpful hint is welcome !

    Hi Klaus,
    It may be because when calling a function via JCO all import/export/table parameters are always passed with the call.  Have you tried running the function from a test ABAP program and NOT requesting the parameter E_RESULT_XML?  If that works ok, the simple solution is to create a custom wrapper function module that you can call from JCO, which will call ECATT_EXECUTE for you ignoring E_RESULT_XML and then return the results to your Java.
    Hope this helps,
    Gareth.

  • When I import a CD album that includes songs with co-artists, the album is saved once with all of the songs with the main artist only, and then one album for each song with a different co-artist.  How can I avoid that or fix that result after the fact.

    When I import a CD ablum that includes songs with co-artists, the album is saved once under the album name with all the songs from the main artist; then each song with a different co-artist is saved separately under the album title with just that song.  Who do I prevent that or fix it after the fact, i.e., copy the single songs to the main album?
