How can I sync my music without syncing my apps? I can't seem to figure it out. I DON'T want to update my apps, but iTunes forces me to before I can update my music. My apps take about an hour or so to sync, so I don't have the time.
Under the 'Applications' tab in your iPod Touch's section there should be a box called 'Sync Applications' you can uncheck (although it will remove your applications) or you can uncheck individual apps there as well.
If you are just adding songs, the Touch will usually Backup-add the songs and then sync - contacts, mail, etc. It does not sync apps unless you have changed them.
