Want to use iPod as a disk, but don't want iTunes to start

Hi,
I am a college student, and I am home for the semester break. I have some files that I am wanting to transfer to my 30GB iPod from our home computer before I go back to school; but when I plug it, in iTunes always starts. My sister has an iTunes library for her Nano on our home computer, and I don't want to mess anything of her's up. Is there any way that I can set iTunes so it doesn't automatically start when I connect my iPod? Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Nate

I'm afraid you can't change the setting without connecting the iPod since it's in one of the iPod preference tabs. Your iPod is safe as long as it is set to update manually, if it's not then you can use a key combination on your keyboard to prevent it syncing so that you can change the setting. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. 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 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
Syncing Music to iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

I want to do a drag and drop but don't want it to be a test

Hi,
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am using Captivate 7.
I want to do a drag and drop but don't want it to be a test. This is for brain storming---not a test.
None of the items to drag are correct or incorrect---they are just ideas. For example the 20 items could be different things you might put in your suitcase for vacation. There are no wrong answers---just your preference.
There are 20 items to be dragged. There is only one drag target. All 20 items can go to that 1 drag target.
I don't want the learner to have to drag all of the items to the target in order to finish. For example, the learner might leave 3 items out because the learner doesn't like those items. I want the learner to be able to hit submit (or any other button) at any time and go to the next slide immediately, not have to finish the drag and drop. Any ideas?
thanks!

Also be aware that if you add a quiz to the project, that the drag and drop and quiz affect each other.
In a way we have been cheated into thinking that is also a learning tool for repeated attempts. With a quiz in the project it does not work.
I also tried it without the quiz. When learners now use it, the drag and drop will "hang" at times. EMBARRASING when a client phones you with a stuck learning session!!
I have spent hours with the online Adobe dudes. It some or other "buG".

I would like to freeze saving to icloud and perhaps transfer some of that data to my own external hard drive. I don't want to lose anything already stored there, but don't want to purchase anymore cloud space. How do i accomplish this?

I would like to freeze saving to icloud and perhaps transfer some of that data to my own external hard drive. I don't want to lose anything already stored there, but don't want to purchase anymore cloud space. How do i accomplish this?

It seems that saving to iCloud is a default. My Pages documents automatically save there unless I change to save to destination. I probably just need help in setting up the cloud. When I tried to change the setting, though, it told me that if I made the change, all data on icloud would be eliminated and i don't want that. I would ideally like to save everything on my external HD and not bother with iCloud. Certainly don't want to buy more storage space. Thanks for replying so promptly.

I want to update to 3.6.4 but don't want to risk the problems container.exe is causing that am reading in this forum.

There are quite a few having problems related to container.exe due to updating to 3.6.4 as I see from this forum.
I don't have video problems, never did, and sounds like if I update, it's going to start having problems..
It is possible for ff to make a patch so that we can have a user friendly and safe disable (without system code?)
I appreciate firefox very much and thank you developers for your hard work and care.
I just don't want to update until this is stable..too risky..
Thanks!

I want to buy ipod touch 4 (8GB) , but i dont know is that enough for me

I want to buy ipod touch 4, my friends said i should buy 8GB one, but i dont know is 8GB enough for me to use. some people said that it only have 6.7GB for you to use, cause the ipod apps already used some of it. I want to have maybe 100 songs, some apps, pics, few games, 5-7 books, few online movies. For some of these, i would probably delete them and download new ones. So, any suggestion?? Please? I really want to buy it before this summer. but i dont want waste my money.

I would opt for the 32 GB one. Many users have been disappointed when they purchased the 8 GB since they quickly filled it.
Some apps can take 1 GB themselves. See the following for some other stirage useages:

You need to delete here conversation and start another one using her phone number and not her Apple ID. You cannot delete iMessage, you can disable it. If the Apple server still sees her iPod with iMessage on and using her Apple ID, then it will continue to appear to your phone that she has iMessage. She needs to take a look at this support document about permanently disabling iMessage for her account. Can’t receive text messages on a non-Apple phone

If the scan is in B&W, then play with the Threshold setting here
If it's in Color, then you will have to open the scan in a Raster editing software (like Photoshop) and play with the Brightness/Contrast settings to make the lines bolder.
