It was ticking me off that I couldn’t hook up my iPod to my laptop without losing all the podcasts I synch-up from my desktop. I found however that there is a way to keep iTunes ftom automatically synching to an iPod. I learned it from PCNX.com. They state that I have to “hold down CTRL+OPTION” “from the moment you plug your iPod in until it appears in iTunes”. This is great news for me, but in fact it’s wrong. I discovered, after once again getting all my podcasts wiped off my iPod, that it’s actually the ⌘+OPTION [COMMAND+OPTION] keys.For Windows users, hold down the CTRL+SHIFT keys.
Thanks. I need this bit of info with all the kids and iPods in the house.
