chapter 2: the ipod sync connection 51

To delete songs off the iPod, click its icon in your iTunes Source list. Then, in the

main song-list window, click the songs you don’t want anymore, and then press

Delete. The songs will vanish, both from the iPod’s list in iTunes and from the

iPod itself.

Tip: The Only Update Checked Songs option in the iPod Preferences box (Figure 2-9) can be useful in this

situation. It ensures that iTunes will update the iPod only with songs whose title checkmarks you’ve turned

on. If you have songs that aren’t part of your iTunes music library, make sure they’re unchecked—and

therefore unerased—during an automatic synchronization.

• Manual control in MusicMatch Jukebox. To turn off autosync in Windows, con-

nect your iPod. When MusicMatch Jukebox brings up the Portables Plus win-

dow, open the Options dialog box (see Figure 2-10 for instructions).

Click the Synchronization tab and turn off “Automatically synchronize device

upon connection.”

Once you’ve deactivated automatic synchronization, what’s on the iPod is up to

you. You can add songs to it by dragging them from the My Library window onto

the iPod’s track list in the Portables Plus window. Or right-click the iPod icon

and choose Add Track(s) to iPod from the shortcut menu. Or click Add at the

bottom of the Portables Plus window.

In any case, when you’re ready to perform the synchronization that you’ve lined

up like this, click the Sync button in the right corner.

Variations on

Auto-Transfer

“Do Not Disconnect”

The universal symbol for NO!, pictured as a circle with a

slash through it (∅), is a common sight when the iPod is

connected to the Macintosh or PC. It appears whenever

the two drives are busy exchanging music and data (and

probably a little hard-disk humor on the side). If you’re

using the iPod as an external hard disk, or you’ve turned

off the iPod’s automatic synchronization feature, you’ll see

a lot of this Dr. ∅.

Breaking the connection while all this is going on can re-

sult in lost ﬁles and possibly a scrambled song. So if you

need to unplug the iPod and get going for work, be sure to

unmount it properly (remove its icon from the screen) ﬁrst.

Macintosh: You can disconnect the iPod by clicking the

Eject button in the iTunes window; by dragging the desk-

top icon of the iPod into the Mac’s Trash; or by Control-

clicking the iPod icon on your screen and choosing Eject

from the contextual menu.

Windows: With the iPod selected in the iTunes Source list,

click the Eject button in the lower right corner of the win-

dow to safely unmount the iPod. In MusicMatch Jukebox,

click Eject in the lower-left corner of the Portables Plus win-

dow (Figure 2-9).

When you’ve ejected the iPod correctly, its screen ﬂashes

a large happy check mark (older iPods) or pulls up the

standard main menu, ready for action (2003 and later

models).
