Using a second computer with an ipod set to manual update

I want to prevent my ipod 60GB video which is set to manual update on my G5 from being updated when I plug it into my powerbook. The powerbook assumes the ipod is available for auto update. How do I mount the iPod without iTunes automatically replacing its contents. I can't "preset" iTunes in its preferences to treat the iPod as a manual drive as it just says: "no iPod connected. As soon as I attach the iPod the auto update starts. Are there keystrokes to interrupt the update so I can set the iPod preferences on my Powerbook?
Thanks
Paul

Hold down the ⌥ and ⌘ keys while connecting your iPod. Keep them down until iTunes has opened and your iPod shows in the Source list.

How do i use a new computer with my ipod?

how do i use a new computer with my ipod?

See this apple support communities user tip…
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

Can two people use the same computer with two different ipods?

I was just wondering if me and my mother can use the same computer with our ipods?

Glad you asked. Before you get rid of the old one move its iTunes Library to the new one:

"Deauthorize" the old computer too. Go to the iTunes Store menu and select "Deauthorize This Computer..."
I hope you get a Mac this time

Make a new Apple ID for her.
Use it on her iPhone 4S for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime.
Use your ID on her iPhone 4S for iTunes and App Stores.
Sign in with your Apple ID on iTunes Store (on iTunes app of her new computer)
Authorize her new computer with your Apple ID in iTunes (iTunes menu>Store>Authorize this Computer)
Check "Share my Library on my Local Network" in iTunes Preferences in your and her computer
Sign in Home Sharing of her iTunes with your Apple ID.
Copy all the Music she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
Copy all the apps she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
Export all playlist as xml files from the old computer to the new one.(right click on the playlist to export and "File>Library>Import Playlist to Import)
Sync her iPhone 4S with all content she wants from her new computer (all data from the old computer will be deleted)
Are you sharing Contacts or other data from iCloud?
Be careful or ask for help about moving from iCloud account to another one.

Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
To move mdia to the new computer see:

My ipod 6th generation is not coming up in my devices with itunes. I am using a new computer with windows 8 and it is shoing up in my computer but not in itunes. any suggestions

I am having the exact same problem but as yet have not found a solution.

I cant download new music to my ipod. I am now using a new computer with Windows 8.

I cant download new music to my ipod. I am now using a new computer with Windows 8. Itunes is now on the new computer. New songs apear there and will play on the computer.

I plugged my ipod into the computer, it "interacted" briefly, but when finished, the new songs were not on the ipod. (It is an older ipod I have had for years). I just read on a different post how to access the latest itunes program update. I did that, then plugged the ipod into the computer again. The ipod is now real busy interacting with the computer a lot longer. Maybe that fixed it. I will let you know after it is finished. Thanks for the help!

Using a second computer as a external midi instrument or DAW slave?

So this is my current setup:
iMac 24(FW 800 & 400) with logic 8 & reason 4,
Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 firewire (x2) sound card/pre-amp,
Blackbook with MainStage & Reason 4.
& this is what I would like to do:
Use my imac as my main DAW master, (currently tracking to an external FW800 drive & pulling loops from a USB drive), & use my blackbook to run reason as a external midi device or slave.
My Saffire Pro 40 has 2xFW400 ports so I can connect both machines to it.
The idea behind this setup is to pull as many software sounds from the Blackbook & mainly use the imac to run Logic.
Does this make sense? & if so, what's the best way to execute this?
thanks in advance

Hello -
I'm not entirely sure that one audio device such as the Saffire Pro 40 with 2 Firewire ports can be shared between two computers. It was always my impression that the second Firewire port was available to "daisy chain" another audio device or hard drive. Before you proceed, you might want to check with the company that manufactures the Saffire Pro 40 and make sure that two computers can interphase with it.
With regards to using a second computer as a "slave machine", it seems that many, many people do have such configurations to help spread the CPU and memory work-load. My happy Mac Pro is set up to work with a potential of two other "slave machines". When I use this set up, it works wonderfully. But, for most of the time, my happy Mac Pro can manage most sequencing projects (mostly orchestral with LOTS of instruments) on its own. Each computer, however, has its own audio device. All are connected to the Mac Pro using the ADAT light inputs/outputs from each audio device (I use MOTU's audio devices) and are managed midi-wise using Music Lab's MOLCP 3.
Good luck. . .

How to use a second laptop with my old router

Hello, I'm trying to use a second laptop with my old router (model BEFW11S4 v.2) for a work project. I've tried two diff computers and neither will connect, each giving different error messages. The work laptop I have right now will hook up to an unsecured network and will ask me for a network key for other detected secured networks, but tells me to refresh and search for networks again when I try to hook up to my network. My personal laptop hooks up to the internet just fine. Help! Mo

Al that is left are the standard fixes:
- Reset the dock
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

How to authorize second computer with one id

How to authorize second computer with one id in digital edition

Dear Dominic,
When I try to authorize my laptop, after writing my username and password, I get the message "You can only authorize this computer with an ADOBE ID that hasn't been previously used to authorize any other computer or mobile devices. Please try again"
That means it doesn't PERMIT me to aythorize my second computer (a laptop) with the same adobe ID (that was used for my first computer, a PC)...
Thank you in advance for your help...

Restarting computer with mini ipod attached

I just set up my mini and a few days later restarted my computer when the mini was attached. The computer froze during the start up and I had to unplug the mini and restart again. Is there a problem with my computer or my mini?

" Is there a problem with my computer or my mini?"
Probably neither, but it's widely recommended on these forums not to boot up your computer with the iPod attached for the very reason you experienced.

Use a second computer as a 3rd display?

Hi there!
Is it possible to use a second computer (my laptop in this case) to receive video as a 3rd display, through firewire? I think all I need is just a driver or program on the receiving computer to let be recognized as a camera by the main computer.
This thought is to avoid buying (impossible at this moment) a 2n graphic card.
Thanks a lot and if someone found another way to do that please let me know!

Hey! It worked! Thanks!
I can use my pc laptop as a 3rd monitor. After configuring an VNC program as a client on my laptop PC and started the screenrecyler (as a vnc server) on my mac, a 3rd monitor is detected in os x preferences. Nice!
I'm using a 1Gb ethernet connection and frame rates are quite good.
I don't need that 3rd monitor for high quality video, just to play piano while i'm looking video (I am composer and now I have my keyboard at on side, so I don't need any more to turn my head at right, just the laptop over the keyboard!).
Thanks again for your replies.

I'm changing my second computer; With CS6, do I need to deactivate each app, or just the suite?

Hi HRHundt2, if you have suite installed, then if you try deactivating any application will eventually deactivate complete suite.
