Preventing iPod from syncing with iTunes?

Somehow, "play" got pushed on my iPod, and it sat in my bag playing all my songs in artist order.
I know that if I let it sync with my iTunes, all these songs will have their play count incremented by 1, which will of course affect playlists, Genius etc. etc.
I want that NOT to happen.
How?

While holding down the Command + Option keys and connect your iPod. Wait until the iPod appears in iTunes before you let go of the keys. This will stop the iPod from doing an auto sync.
Once in iTunes you will have to restore your iPod by clicking on the Restore button. Once restored you will then have to sync your content back onto the iPod.

How can I prevent apps from syncing in the new iTunes?

Hey there.
I brang my macbook to Applestore cause it had a problem and they downloaded the latest version of itunes. Everything's fine and my music, videos and apps are in the new itunes like before. But now, when I want to sync my ipod touch, a pop window asks me to give the password of the itunes account I used to download some of my apps or it will delete them and their data. The problem is that one of these accounts is an old friend's one and I actually lost all contact with him. So basically now I can't sync my iphone at all or it will delete all my apps.
Has anyone any idea how to sort that out? Or at least knows how to prevent apps from syncing in this new version of itunes?
Thanks for your help

Double tap the Home button...slide the last used view of the app(above the icon) up. Tap Home button when finished.

Prevent Ipod from deleting tv shows

I notice that you can delete tv shows and videos right from your IPOD touch. Is there anyway to turn that off or prevent them from being deleted? My son keeps deleting all his shows from there and than is upset that they are gone. If i cant prevent it is there a way to get them back with out syncing again?

No, you can't prevent it. Teach him not to do it. You have to sync again to put them back as there is no undelete. Sorry.

How do you prevent iPads from syncing with iTunes when managing a cart with Apple Configurator

I am managing carts of iPads with Configurator running on a MacBook. If I open iTunes when Configurator is not open, all 30 iPads will start Syncing with iTunes. Preferences>>Devices>>Prevent Devices from Automatically Syncing is set but yet any time iTunes is opened the iPads start syncing. This does not happen if Configurator is open.

I was able to finally stop ITunes from crashing after many days of searching n restarting my computer many times.
a) First I went to this site ->http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1119812.htm that showed me how to disable DPE. Please make sure that u have good virus...etc.. protection first before doing this. I have Avast Internet Security. RESTART UR COMPUTER..
b) I then uninstall ITunes by following this site ->http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923 RESTART UR COMPUTER..
c) I then downloaded a beta version of ITunes. I happen to download beta 7 before the final of 10.5 version came out. Installed it. After installing I click on it n it said somewhere along the line of "this ITune ver. expired" I checked in my Programs n Features n notice that QuickTime was installed w that beta version.
d) Go online n download the final version of ITunes ->http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ...... After u finish dling install that. After that's done connect your IPod, IPhone...etc... n click on ITunes, it should sync all the way.
I was finally able to sync all thru the steps insteading of it crashing on me midway. Hopefully this will work for you. Good luck !

Preventing Shuffle from Syncing

I have an iPod shuffle, but everytime I connect my shuffle to any computer, it automatically syncs and deletes all my music. Is there any way to prevent this, like my mini which doesn't sync up with any computer I use?
I enabled Disk Use for my shuffle, and still it syncs up with iTunes. How can I prevent this from happening? I want to play my music on a computer without having to delete my songs. Thanks in advance.

Okay. But what if I want to add songs from different computers? Should I copy the songs manually to the iPod and then copy them to the iTunes that 'owns' the shuffle and then sync them, or there another way?

How can i stop my ipod from syncing automatically?

I don't want my ipod to sync automatically when i connect it to the computer, i wanna sync it manually
What does syncing even mean? like it just backs up the files yeah?
'Cause i find it annoying that when like, maybe i add some new songs to itunes, maybe i don't want them on my ipod, which is why i don't want it to sync automatically, how do i change this?

Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods....syncing". Then, with the iPod connected to the computer you can chack the appropirate boxes in the Muisic pane for the iPod and check which songs you want on the iPod and Connie 9 suggested.

Preventing audiobooks from syncing with iPod

I can delete an audiobook from my 4th generation iPod, but the next time I connect it to my pc, it adds the audiobook back onto the iPod. I don't want to delete the books from the pc. I have verified that the audiobooks are not checked on the pc. Anybody else having this issue? I could use some help.
Thanks.

Hello Seldom3,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Is your iPod set up to sync all checked songs and videos only? To check, make sure this option is ticked from under your iPod's Summary tab in iTunes. Otherwise, removing the check mark will have no effect on what contents are automatically synced to your iPod.

Major problem charging ipod from front usb

i was wondering if anyone else had the problem of plugging in an ipod mini to simply charge
it,[im talking about an hp desktop,and using the front usb plug]the ipod unit is off,and
having it wreck havok on one's hard drive,like say possibly corrupting the m.b.r[master boot
record]im asking because this happened once before,but i was able to repair it using xp
pro's recovery console,this time i was not able to correct the problem,windows simply will
not boot from that partition,and i know the only thing that was done,[or plugged in]or
out-was hot swappable,turned off and was the ipod.......please any help here would be hot
thanx,[email protected]

I've already tried that. iTunes also hangs for a number of minutes whenever I open it up. I have tried trashing prefs etc but no luck. The issue always comes back. Of course I did take this crap G5 into Apple to get it fixed, but they were unable to replicate and so nothing was fixed. I guess I will need to bring it in with my complete setup the next time and show them firsthand. Its funny, I have a 5 yr old Dual G4 that gets used about 4x as much as my less than 6 months old G5.

Itunes on new computer doesnt erase music on iphone when I try to sync it, creating storage issues that prevents me from syncing

I got a new computer and need to sync my iphone to it. I prepared for this by transferring most of my music to the new itunes library. I prepared a playlist to sync to my iphone then tried to sync. I pressed "erase and sync" but itunes didn't erase anything from my iphone, and then said there wasn't enough space to sync my playlist. I think if I can't get itunes to work i can always just restore it then sync which will be pretty much the same thing right?

Hello there, evanevan.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great insight into troubleshooting the issue you seem to be describing:
iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
Although you're not getting the specific error message, the steps should help with resolving your issue:
Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
Restore using iTunes.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
