Enable Activation Only Mode iTunes

When restoring and setting up iPods or iPads it may be necessary to enable activation only mode in iTunes. This will get rid of the connect to iTunes screen and will disable sync.

Open Terminal> type defaults write com.apple.iTunes StoreActivationMode -integer 1 and press enter.

To enable normal sync mode:

Open Terminal> type defaults delete com.apple.iTunes StoreActivationMode and press enter.

This has saved me hours of work because I no longer had to wait for each iPod to backup ans sync.
