Turning off syncing for a device

If you don’t want to sync a particular device, you can temporarily turn off syncing for that device.

To turn off syncing:

Click the device icon in the iSync window so that its settings appear, then deselect the “Turn on Synchronization” checkbox (so there’s no checkmark).

If you turn off syncing for a device and later turn it on again, the next time your device is present (within Bluetooth range or connected to your computer), any changes that weren’t updated on the device while syncing was off will be made the next time you sync. Consequently, the first sync may be slower.

You can also stop syncing only a specific type of information (for example, contacts) to a device, or completely turn off syncing on your computer for any device or type of information.
