Turning back on the "manual update" feature in iTunes

Ok, there's two iPods, mine and my sisters, and we both use the same iTunes. My iPod is set up to update automatically whenever I connect it to the computer and hers is set so that it doesnt automatically update when it's connected, but I just drag and drop certain songs into her iPod.
Now, I tried putting a new video on her iPod and in the videos tab of her iPod in iTunes I clicked on upload all the videos, it wouldnt let me drag on drop.
This has changed the settings on the iPod and now whenever i connect it to the computer it starts updating the iPod with my library.
Is there any way of putting this setting back to the manual update function? As it is im scared to leave it connected for too long because i dont want it to erase songs she has on her iPod that i no longer have on my iTunes.
Cheers people, thanks for any info you can give me.

Just a thought - connect your own ipod, let it sync automatically and then change the itunes sync setting to manual. Maybe that changes the next syncing of your sister's ipod to manual as well?

We are trying to package our iTunes Windows and we can't stop the auto update feature. How can we do this?

We have consultants here packaging many of our Apps for deployment with Windows 7. We cannot find a way to turn off the auto update feature within iTunes for Windows. Has someone been successful in packaging iTunes for Windows and NOT do the auto update piece?

The Apple advice revolves around the editing the registry:

... but it's beyond my competence to advise how to work that particular registry edit into a deployment, I'm afraid.

Whenever i try to update my macbook pro, it downloads then says I need to restart my computer. I restart the computer, and everything just freezes. When my computer eventually turns back on, its not updated. other apps i try to download dont download also

First, do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
When you complete the above re-download your OS X upgrade (not sure which one that is, but I assume Mavericks.) After the download is completed re-install it. Hopefully, this time it will do what you expect.

PLEASE APPLE, GIVE US SYNCING VIA ITUNES BACK!!!!!! Why take away one of the most valuable features of iTunes???? Why take away our choice of syncing via the Cloud or locally with iTunes????

DO NOT UPGRADE TO MAVERICK UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE DEPENDED ON APPLE’S CLOUD. It removes the ability to sync Calendar, Notepad, and Contacts between your apple devices. You then can only sync them via Apple’s Cloud. For those of you like me, that do not want to be depended on an external data base accessible via the Internet or Cel Phone (with data charges).
Why do I not want to use the Cloud to sync and backup?
1. I found I only have one device with me at a time or am sitting at a computer when I add to my calendar, make a note, or add/change a Contact. Syncing with iTunes while upgrading apps and doing a back up to two external hard drives worked great and met my needs.
2. I use WiFi and pay for the minimum data plan with my Cel provider (AT&T). I do not want to pay higher monthly data fees.
3. I do not like a central data base (that will be hacked someday) having the personal info I have in my Notes, Schedule, and Contacts.
4. I like the security of my most important data being on my own hard drives and written off to Data DVD’s, not subject to even rare central system outages/failures.
5. I do not like the prospect of becoming dependent on a Cloud in which the provider could decide at any time to either start selling information or charging monthly fees to recover the costs of providing the cloud.
I am reluctant to go to the trouble to go back to 10.8 because Apple will eventual stop providing updates to 10.8 and 10.8 compatible applications.

You will need to contact Apple through their feedfack channel. These are user to user forums, sorry.

Had firefox want to do an update, updated lost all bookmarks then randomly it unstalled and back to the pre-updated version

the other day, firefox updated itself , i lost all my bookmarks autologins etc, them randomly today its gone back to the pre-update version? i dont know whats going on? the version on my computer currently is 27.0

This is not an issue that Firefox itself is going to cause. Maybe it is your backup software or something.
Firefox has no mechanism for causing reverts to older installs. When Firefox does upgrade it does try to preserve bookmarks. I note from your Sytem information aside that you have McAfee software, but I do not know whether that may be implicated in this sort of problem.
I do know; certainly in the past; some McAfee software, and particularly the SiteAdvisor have caused Firefox problems.
N.B. Firefox has its own built in features
* [[How does built-in Phishing and Malware Protection work?]]
* And Windows provides basic AV software for free http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/security-essentials-download
I could try to give some basic help information regarding Windows features for recovering previous versions of files
* - Please - always carefully back up any existing files or folders before attempting that
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/previous-versions-files-faq#1TC=windows-7
I suspect however your problem may relate to use of third party backup or security software.
* What security related software and backup software is in use ?

How do I get my music playlists back after the new update?

After the new iTunes Update this week, the update deleted my personalized music playlists, went back to the default playlists, and all the albums I deleted doubles of songs are all back since the new update! Is there a way to fix this or am I going to have to go back through and reorganize my entire library by hand again? It still shows up on correct on my iPhone, it's just on my mac that I'm having the issue.
P.s. iTunes comment: I don't like how if an album has multiple artists on different songs, iTunes separates the album's songs and shows them separated in the Albums list. I have an album to listen to the ALBUM, not separated by artists. Is there a setting or something to change that?

Always back up your computer before installing updates. You may need to rebuild it with a pre-update library file. Details really depend upon exactly what you lost.

Quick answer: Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085#17670085).
If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields. If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.

I'm sooo upset I lost YouTube on my iPad2 since updating ios 6. Could you bring YouTube back in the next update? Please help!

Please bring YouTube back in the next update because I am really upset!

Apple is trying to slowly slice ties with Google so that is why they removed the YouTube app as well as made their own Maps app.
Google has already made their own YouTube app that is on the App Store for free but right now it is only for iPhone, they will release a version for the iPad soon.

How do we back out the latest update?

Does anyone know how we can back out the latest update?
Last night I made the mistake of trusting the Verizon upgrade application and let it upgrade my Samsung Galaxay S3. Now various applications no longer work. They worked fine before, now they crash on start and give a message such as "Unfortunately, <application-name> has stopped." and I have options of <Report> or <Ok>.
There is NOTHING in the new update that I want, in fact I dislike the new graphics look and feel, auto spell typing has changed in ways I don't like, and applications aren't working.... so I want to go back...
Anyone know how?
Thanks,
-=John

Having the same issues since I upgraded yesterday. I see a lot of people posting issues after the upgrade, but no real solutions except the moronic reset (default answer for any problem) suggestion by verizon.
