Turning AUTO UPDATE OFF

I just bought an iPod shuffle 1gb and i'm having the following problem.
I have a huge mp3 collection divided into different cds. The thing is that everytime i send mp3s from a CD to the iPod and reconnect the pod (withouth having the CD in the CD-ROM tray) it automaticaly updates my iPod and erases the songs that were excluded from the ITunes LIBRARY.
How can I turn this auto-updating option off and manually send music files to my iPod without losing the previously sent ones ?? PLEASE !!

Plug in your iPod, go to edit - Preferences. Press the iPod tab, and select manual update.

  • Can't turn auto rotate off!

    Hi, I got my Xperia Z1 today, and have now checked out everything on my new phone now, and I have just. discovered that I can't turn off the auto rotate feature
    Not sure if this happened after I updated to 4.3
    This is really annoying, I have tried to restart the phone, turn auto rotate off and on again in both the screen settings and the shortcut in the scroll down "menu"
    Anyone got any tips or tricks for me to a fix?
    Would appreciate it much

    Hi there,
    What if a some app you use causes that issue?
    Reboot your phone into "Safe Mode" and check whether an issue reappears.
    Cheers.
    There is nothing impossible to him who will try.  A. t. G. (356BC - 323BC)

  • [Lollipop] Turning Auto-rotate off forces portrait mode

    In various situations, I like to use my tablet in landscape mode, but turn auto-rotate off (watching movies/streams while lying down).
    I do this using the pull-down quick menu. After the update to lollipop however, whenever I turn off "Auto-rotate", the button's name will switch to "Portrait" and my tablet (and app) will rotate into portrait mode, even if it was in landscape mode when I pressed the button. I reckon this is done with e-books in mind, but for my purposes this makes this feature useless.
    Is there any way to restore the original behaviour (tablet stays in the orientation it was in when you decide to turn off Auto-rotate)? If there is not currently, I urge you to change it back to the old way (other lollipop tablets seem to have the old behaviour still from what I could gather from friends).

    That's the way it's supposed to work 
    Well, that just sounds like an opinion. Do you have any source for that? As I said, my friends' other tablets behave differently.
    Is there anyone from Sony around who can shed some light on this or make inquiries? Or is this a users-help-users-only support forum?
    And @Johnny_dee, please don't hijack threads. The whole discussion now is about a whole other topic. Just open a new topic.
    (maybe some nice moderator could split the topic?)

  • How do I turn auto-correct off and still have a spell check?

    How do I turn auto-correct off and still have a spell check?

    I do not believe this.. you can not disable auto correct without disabling the spell checker.. I am struck dumb by this.. I recently bought a mac for the first time.. ive always used windows.. there are more thngs like this than i expected.. I actually find this so ignorant I am lost for words.. this auto correct is a nightmare for me.. and has already caused me a lot of trouble because I have sent emails where words have been changed and i didnt notice and I have unknowingly insulted people.. i use a regular spell checker quite often but apparently I simply have no choice with safari.. oh well I am going to have to find another browser then.. goodbye safari!.. I also use a lot of shortened words and names etc etc.. like for eg I used the shortened word for problems "probs" and it changes it to "probe" and then i go back and change it back to WHAT I WANT TO SAY and it changes it AGAIN!!!!
    Does anyone else feel like this is yet another example of how, more and more, we are being treated like morons?
    Ok I'll try to stop ranting.. the real point is it should be possible to have a spell checker without auto correct..

  • Turning auto update (auto sync) off without connecting ipod to pc

    I use my ipod with 2 different computers and beleive I left auto update turned on one pc. If I connect it will wipe out the work I have done over the weekend using my other machine. I deinstalled the ipod and itunes software and reinstalled both but the itunes still reflects the playlists and songs I had created prior to uninstalling and reinstalling. I am afraid to plug the ipod in for fear that I will lose everything if it automatically begins syncing. Is there a way to turn the feature off without plugging in the ipod?

    You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
    Another way is to connect your iPod and before it starts to sync, click the little X on the right hand side of the display beside the "Do Not Disconnect" message. The display is the little window to the right of the iTunes control buttons: iPod Interface
    Or you could look at the method described in this link: How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
    You won't erase your iPod if you heed the iTunes Warning dialogue box.
    If at any stage iTunes brings up a dialogue window asking whether you want to replace the songs on your iPod with the songs in iTunes, press "No". Pressing "Yes" will irredeemably remove or replace all songs from your iPod.

  • Auto Updater Off?

    I am travelling to Vietnam this week, and I enrolled in the ATT "World Traveller" plan so I could use my phone while there.
    I was told to turn off the "auto updater" feature of my iPhone to prevent running up extra charges. I thought it would be an easy feature to find and turn off on my phone, but alas, I can't figure it out. Wish I would have had the ATT guy talk me thru it...!!!
    Can anyone here help me with this?
    Hopefully someone has already dealt with this issue and can show me the way!
    THANKS!!

    Accessing the internet via wi-fi with the iPhone has nothing to do with at&t, or with any cellular provider or cellular data network. Accessing the internet via an available wi-fi network with the iPhone is no different from doing the same with a computer.
    Data Roaming is off by default with the iPhone. You can leave wi-fi on with your iPhone to access available wi-fi networks at no extra charge from at&t. Turning data roaming on with your iPhone will allow for accessing the internet via the cellular network being used with your iPhone while there, and any data downloaded or uploaded via a cellular network when roaming internationally will be an additional charge by the KB downloaded or uploaded. Keep data roaming off - which is off by default, and you will only be able to access the internet via an available wi-fi network when wi-fi is on. Some wi-fi networks may be free, and others may require payment for access - just as in the U.S.

  • Time Machine cannot find Time Capsule after turning auto backups off

    2010 macbook 7,1 OSX 10.6.8.  Brand new rev.4 Time Capsule 2TB (MD032LL/A) just bought yesterday. 
    Everything set up just fine and wireless is working.  Backups are working.
    Issue is that as soon as I turn the Time Machine slider to Off (I can turn it back to On at this point, doesn't matter once it's been in the Off position) in TIme Machine preferences, then try and Enter Time Machine or do a backup, it cannot find the Time Capsule (says cannot find backup volume or such).  I have to reselect the drive even though it's icon is showing right on the preferences screen.  A reboot will enable it to find the Time Capsule without my input.
    If I leave Time Machine turned on, the backups run fine and I can enter the Time Machine.  It is turning off Time Machine that triggers the issue.
    Tried the following:
      -Rebooted Time Capsule
      -Made sure Time Capsule name is less than 27 characters (it is 19)
      -Firewall is off
      -Filevaullt is off
      -Booted into Safe Mode
      -Repaired permissions
      -Trashed TIme Machine plist
      -Updated OSX
    At this point I called Applecare and they had me send them a capture of my TIme Machine data and will get back to me Monday.
    Oddly, my 10.5.8 iMac G5 2ghz is working fine with Time Machine and does not have this issue.  I can turn Time Machine off and on all I want and it can find the Time Capsule with no problem.
    Thanks for any help.

    Apple is still working on the issue but I have now noticed that I cannot VNC into my work PC anymore.  I get a "Could not connect to server, connection refused:5900"
    I am using Chicken of the VNC and it worked fine until I got the Time Capsule.  I know that 5900 is the port used for something and this sounds like it is related to the Time Capsule.
    I can't help but think this is also related to the "Cannot find backup disk" message from Time Machine.  This all sounds like the Time Capsule goofed up the works here.
    Also, I now have tons of reports in the console of it not being able to count items in a file at system/library/StartupItems.  That folder is NOT there. Which is why I assume the errors.  I have seen a few other reports and people are just restoring the file from Time Machine or making it via command line with admin.  When I go back far enough in Time Machine, the file IS there but has nothing in it.
    I asked Apple about that too and they checked a 10.6.8 computer and it had the file so not sure what is up there.  Not sure if it was 10.6.8 update or the bunch of iTunes, etc that I did after that.
    Have not restored that file yet, will wait to see what they say about the Time Capsule mess.
    Any ideas on restoring my VNC connection?

  • I turned auto login off and set a password. It does not work. I tried using the install disc and C key a few times but no success. Now the install disc does not even activate with the C key. Help

    I turned ato login off. Set a password. On login it failed. Perhaps I misstyped when setting up. I used the instaldisc to reset the password but after a few attempts It failed. Was it a mistake to select the hard drive after resetting the password.  I would like to try the alternative but now the C-key does not even let the install disc open, it goes directly to  the name and password screen. I need Help

    Keunepete,
    When I ordered my books for the ICND1 and ICND2, they came with a CD in the back pocket (sleeve) of the book. Along with the CD was a thick piece of paper that had the activation code on it. It was a white, square piece of paper with big black print on it. Did you buy your book used? Was the CD sealed in the back pocket?

  • I don't want Firefox 7 installed. How do I turn the updater off?

    I am a student at Highline Community College here in Washington. The online tool that I interface with for classes from the college is called Angel. Email on Angel does not work with Firefox 7. The IT department is working on a fix currently, but until they get that done I need to know how to turn off the automatic updater that wants to install version 7. I'll switch to the newer version when the fix is completed.

    I would like to go back to my original v3 that had NO issues!
    PDF's worked, eMail worked, everything worked!
    But since the glorious Win Vista then Win 7 things have changed for the worse. Even Apple now has Intel Inside...
    I finally found the automatic update switch and turned it OFF!
    Damn menus have changed in the 'NEW' FireFox; some better others worse. But as with the 'NEW' Micro$oft products changing the menu so you can no longer use the APP seems to be the 'NEW'!

  • How do I turn the Updater off?

    I just purchased Adobe's CS5.5 Design Premium (Student and Teacher Edition) for Mac. Upon installing Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver, an icon for Adobe's updater appeared in the Menu Bar just to the left of the Bluetooth and volumne icons.
    This appears to indicate that the updater runs a check every so often in the background. I don't mind Adobe checking on the veracity of my programs (i.e. that it's a legal copy for which I paid), but my system noticeably slows down when it it running.
    Two things I would like to resolve:
    1 - How do I keep the updater from running in the background?
    2 - Can I remove the Icon from the Menu Bar? (Admittedly not as important as #1, but I just don't like the look of it.)
    Here are all the details of my machine:
    MacBook Pro
    OS: 10.5.8
    Processor: 2.26 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory: 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Thank you for your help and advice.

  • Tables in pages - Can i turn auto complete off?

    I'm making a pretty chart style document in pages. It's probably not the best way to go about it, but I'm halfway there.
    At this point, any time I type in two words into a cell; there will be another cell that starts with those same two works and pages wants to autocomplete my sentence. It's kind of slowing me down and really annoying. Anyone know how to shut this off?

    It's in Preferences > General, the second item under Editing.
