What I mean is I want my selected 2GB of music to be on the iPod

Nope, got me wrong...that's what iTunes already does, it plays only the checked items.

What I mean is I want my selected 2GB of music to be on the iPod, but I want to listen to the whole library (12GB of my mp3s are in the iTunes library) when using the computer

Uncheck songs in the iTunes Library, and they won't show up. (Unchecked songs do not play in iTunes by default. They play only when double-clicked.

You can create a playlist using subtraction:
Playlist "All Checked" is "length is greater than 0:00" match only checked songs.
Playlist "All Unchecked" is "Playlist is NOT All Checked" and DO NOT CHECK "Match only checked songs".
Then, to create playlists from the All Unchecked:
Playlist "Mad Polka" is Match ALL "Playlist is All Unchecked" "Genre is Polka" limit to 25 hours.

I have all my boxes checked and I only sync 1GB to my shuffle. The rest play fine on my computer

The way I manage my smaller players (including the Touch) is to have a load of playlists. When the shuffle, nano, whatever, is connected then you tick manually manage as Gerard says.
Then go to the music tab and tick the 'selected playlists' box. Then choose which playlists you want on your iPod. It will copy just those.
For my Nano I have a Nano playlist that is a smart playlist and it automatically drops a song after it's been played and randomly picks another one from my library. This way the music's always fresh. But if you'd rather keep the same songs, manually create a playlist and do as above.

I've never deselected songs.

Hope this is clear. Ali, if you're still having trouble then PM me and I'll take you though it further.
