Syncing in iTunes without updating to iOS6?

OK, so I've decided not to change to iOS6 until they have Google Maps back on it. But I still want to sync & backup my 4S with iTunes.
From memory, "upgrading" to new software is done automatically with a sync & I haven't found a setting in iTunes that can turn off the software upgrade when syncing. Am I stuck not being able to sync/backup at all until I want to have iOS6 forced on me a the same time? I'm running iTunes 10.7.0.21 on Windows 7.
Cheers

the only way youll be forced to update is if you restore... syncing or backing up wont force you up to update.... But once you hit that restore but, iOS 6 will bei nstalled. You can erase all content and settings from your device by going into settings>general>reset... but thats about it

Will i be able to listen to music, watch videos and take pictures and sync with itunes without a sim in my locked iphone 5?

Will i be able to listen to music, watch videos and take pictures and sync with itunes without a sim in my locked iphone 5?

You will need a SIM to activate it. There is no way around that. The SIM does not have to be active, but it must be from the correct carrier if the phone is carrier locked. Once activated, it can be removed and used like an iPod touch, but if you ever have to restore or update iOS, you will need the SIM to re-activate it.

IPod Nano error message when syncing to iTunes to update Nike+

I am using an 8 gb iPod nano multi touch with Nike+ and when I connect it to iTunes to update Nike+ to sync my runs it continuously says "The Nike+ website is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." This has been occuring since Nike updated their website. I have updated iTunes and still the error messages occurs. Anyone else have this issue if so is there a solution?

I too cannot sync my iPod. I get the message "Unknown Error 13019." What the heck does this mean? Can anyone assist or provide guidance?

Does syncing to iTunes automatically update the iPad 2? Or is there another procedure to updating the iPad 2?

Hi,
I very recently bought an iPad 2 for my wife. She tried to do some online shopping and couldn't get past the checkout screen. Poor girl tried all day and was so frustrated when I came home. I told her to use my PC laptop and she was done in minutes. I went to the local Apple Store and their advice was to disconnect and reconnect the iPad WIFI connection. And to update the iPad. I sync'd to iTunes and couldn't figure out how to search for updates. Does syncing automatically do the updating?
Thanks

No - to update the operating system (iOS) on the iPad connect it your computer's iTunes, and in iTunes select the Device on the left-hand side, and on the summary tab click 'Check for Updates'. The current version is 4.3.3 - you can tell which version your iPad has by looking at the Version field in Settings > General > About on the iPad (the bit in brackets is just the build number of the iOS release); the iPad's current iOS version is also shown on the summary tab mentioned above. If you do not currently have the most up-to-date version then the download is just under 600 meg, and therefore may take a while to download.

New emoji without updating to iOS6??

Hey, I've got a question for you guys. I really wanna use the new Emoji emoticons. They're really cool! It's just that I don't want to update to iOS6, because the new maps are kinda crappy and useless, and I use maps almost everyday so I really need it. I can't find any apps with the new emoji that works. Anyone got any suggestions???

the only way youll be forced to update is if you restore... syncing or backing up wont force you up to update.... But once you hit that restore but, iOS 6 will bei nstalled. You can erase all content and settings from your device by going into settings>general>reset... but thats about it

IPhone 5 won't sync to iTunes since update to 11.1.3.8 yesterday

I've tried repairing iTunes and resetting the sync history since I've also been getting the error message unable to load sync services. But iTunes will sync to my iPad 4. And if I make changes to my playlists on my iPhone they do update in iTunes but not vice versa. I have windows 7 home premium 64 bit service pack 1 and iOS 7.0.3 on my iPhone. All was fine until the iTunes update yesterday. Can anyone help? I can get to the iTunes store no problem and like I mentioned, I can sync to my iPad 4 with no problems. I don't receive any error message and sync appears to work but playlists and music aren't updated/changed on my phone.

After trying all of that stuff I did wind up getting a fix for my iPad.
I unselected the music and did a sync to remove the music from my iPad. When I opened my iPad the music appeared to still be there but I didn't try to play the music. I plugged the iPad back in and checked the box to copy all the music and hit apply. When it was done all my playlists were correct and everything worked correctly.
I haven't tried changing the playlists again to see if it was just a first time glitch or a continuing issue.
McCroyd I don't know if you have tried this but it might work.
Good Luck.

Hard drive crashed on my MacBook pro and had to replace drive and logic board. When I connect my iPhone and try to sync I get a dialog box stating iPhone is synced with another iTunes library, erase and sync? How do I sync with iTunes without erasing?

Hard drive crashed and had to replace drive and logic board on my MacBook pro. After Install tried to sync with my iPhone and a dialog box pops up stating "this iPhone synced with another iTunes library, erase and sync?". I checked the manually manage music and videos box because I don't want all my wife's pics and music on my iPhone. How do I Sync without erasing what I have on my iPhone???

How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer.

TS3540 Iphone 4S won't sync with iTunes after update to 11.1.3

I have updated all softwares on my Macbook Air 10.7.5, included the iTunes 11.1.3.
Once i plugged my Iphone 4S IOS 7.0.3, iTunes wouldn't see it, recognize it or sync.
Other iphones show up.
What is up?
HELP! It's driving me crazy!
Thank you!
Melanie

This seems to have fixed the issue: on your desktop, hold down the [OPT] key and click on "Go" in the menu bar; holding down the [OPT] click on Library, find Preferences, and then delete all the files that start with "com.apple.itunes.XXXX.plist" where the "XXX" is whatever other things may exist - as long as they end in "plist". From my experience, preference files are rebuilt by the system after the next restart, so you have very little worry of losing any important data; the worst that could happen )and NOT in this instance, but for other plist files) is that you may have to reset the application "preferences" again when you next start it up, to act or appear in a "preferred" customized way for you.
Once you delete the .plist files, empty the Trash, and either log out or restart the computer. Once you're back up and operational, start iTunes and your iDevices should reappear in the sidebar (if that's open) and/or at the top of the screen (if that view is enabled).
Hope that helps. It definitely fixed my problem!

HT201328 How to unlock iphone4 without updating to ios6

I have received unlock confirmation from ATT. However, I would like to unlock my iphone4 withou upating to IOS6 because I am worry that iphone 4 will get slower after the updating. Anyone knows how?
Thanks

No matter what kind of unlocking you mean you cannot do it without a computer.
Carrier unlock can only be done by the carrier it is locked to.
If the screen is locked you also need a computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212

IPod will not sync with Itunes since updated to 7.2034 error 1418

The IPod still works when not connected to PC but when connected an error message comes up that it is corrupted and will need to be restored. When this attempted error 1418 eventually appears.
I have tried by resetting the Drivers in windows - updating didnt work so deleted and restored USB Mass Storage Drivers
Have set up and run the appleipod.bat still didnt work
Have tried to reformat IPod as a drive but I couldnt get that to work but that might be how I attemted it. using "Run" Format g:\(g being the Ipod Mass Storage drive name)
One other point is that the Ipod has lost its name
So does any one have any other solutions

Thanks deggie
I have been to the local apple store in the end and they tried on a Mac, the IPod worked OK, and then they used a Mac in XP - the connecton was very slow but worked also. Their surgestion Copy Itune files to extenal hard drive and reinstall Itune again. Copy back music before running ITunes
This worked and all back to normal. It therefore was a problem with corrupted Itunes in windows. The Ipod is now listed in My Computed correctly as well now.
Thanks again for help

Updating iTunes without updating iPod software

If I update my iTunes to 7.6, when I plug in my iPod will it require that I update iPod software too?
If I update my iPod I will lose the majority of my music because it will require me to factory reset (it was initialized on a PC and is still on those settings) so I don't want to be forced into that option. I'd like 7.6 though so I can rent movies.
any help would be great!

No, you'll have the option to update iPod software--or not. I updated to iTunes 7.6, but I still haven't updated iPod from 1.2.1 to 1.2.3.

Cannot connect to itunes since update to ios6

I upgraded to ios 6 and have read through all the issues everyone is having just like mine, however I have more issues.
as my subject says I cannot connect to itunes, I have tired the jump ahead a year, and it loaded the featured and genius and charts, but i can not see my purchased or updates.
in Safari there are a number of sites that will not load such as barnes and noble. I had the nook app on my ipad 2 and was reading a book when suddenly it quit and the book flat out dissapeared. i decided to reinstall that but I can not get back into barnes and noble or onto the itunes to reinstall the app to see if it can work. at this point my ipad 2 is currently a nice paper wieght and could soon become a frisbie. I want it to work, or I want to go back a step. I need to upgrade my Imac to the newest one, because currently i cant upgrade the apps i have there, and quite frankly im afraid that it will be yet another headache with things not working. I love apple but this is getting to be to much. it was supposed to be less of a headache than pc. (right?)
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do, other than what has already been written,
I also did the reset.
I forgot my network and reset it.
one of my mail apps is not updating, i got rid of that, brought it back and its still not working
my wifi is perfect. i just need help.
thank you

Go to Settings -> WiFi
Touch the blue arrow to the right of your network name. This will bring up the network details.
To the value in the DNS field add the text: ,8.8.8.8
If you are using DHCP this action may need to be redone if a new IP address is assigned.
Note that this should not be necessary. The value in this field should be the Local network address of your router - something like 192.168.1.1. Normally your router should pass any DNS requests to the DNS server your ISP provides. If you are having DNS problems your ISP should correct this.
FYI a DNS server translates symbolic network addresses like www.apple.com to numeric IP addresses. You can see that if this isn't working correctly that you will have problems getting to anywhere on the Internet.
