Setting up Your iPod for Manual syncing

• 1). Connect your iPod to the computer using the supplied USB cable. iTunes should automatically open once your iPod is connected to the computer. If it doesn't, manually open iTunes just like you would open any other program.
  
  
• 2). Click on "iPod" in the device list on the left hand side of the iTunes interface.
  
  
• 3). Select the "Summary" tab in the main window that pops up in the middle of the iTunes browser window.
  
  
• 4). Click the box on the left hand side of "Manually manage music and videos." This will keep your iPod from automatically updating when it is connected to another computer.
  
  
• 5). Click "Apply" to update the settings.
