Why is it then I go to sync picture or books in iTunes that I get a
warning that songs will be deleted if I choose to do this?

Because you turned off syncing for songs. There's no need to turn off that
syncing because if there's no change, there's no time lost.

I turned off syncing for songs as I didn't want all my songs on my iPad2, I
put songs on my iPod.

There must be some solution if I just want to sync my photos, videos and
books.

each of those can be synced or not, without affecting the rest. click
the appropriate tab in itunes and enable/disable as desired.

I don't understand your confusion. You have full control over whether or
not, or how many, songs are synchronized to your device by making the
appropriate selections in the DEVICES > your device > Music tab of
iTunes. If you want just a few songs to remain on the device, select
those songs in the Music tab. If you want no songs to remain on the
device, uncheck the Sync Music checkbox. It's very easy.

I sync about four playlists to my iPad. It's possible to choose NOT to
sync lots of things.

So from what I understand, unless you I select what tunes you want on my
iPad then all the songs will be deleted if I have not chosen to sync all my
songs.

You don't have separate playlists at all?

Where do they come from? I have playlists on my computer's iTunes. My iPod
selects most of them. My iPad selects a few, including a couple set up
specifically for the iPad, which I seldom use for listening to music.
