Managing iPods in Large Groups
[|ISTE - Panel of Experts] - Website with all information about management and uses for iPods.

For those of you looking to sync iPods using the Bretford PowerSync Cart or PowerSync Case, they have a few PDFs that will help you configure each device in iTunes. (Depending on which iPod you use, there are slightly different settings that you should set for that device in iTunes.)

Look under "Recommended iPod Settings" on <[]> for more info.

Also, in supporting some of these deployments, I've found that deselecting "Check for new software updates automatically" in iTunes -> Preferences -> General will help keep your syncing working smoothly. If this option is enabled, and a new update comes out, the checking/downloading process sometimes seems to choke the syncing process.

One more thing - remember that on iPod touch and iPad, restricting "Installing Apps" (via Preferences -> General -> Restrictions) will also prevent YOU from syncing new apps to the device, even through iTunes.
