Anno 2015: How to stop itunes songs from AutoPlay 12.3 when importing files

Each year or if, after several itunes upgrades half of my library deteriorated to the point where the images and files have disappeared, so I reload to everything new.

The problem: every 100' th file (or almost) begins to play, so I get a cacophony of music marketing, and I can't do anything with video or sound for hours.

I would like to delete this.

I want to import any file into itunes and nothing start playing.

Thus, it was suggested on these forums , downgrade to some pre - V10 itunes. I prefer not to do so.

Other options hereand here suggested MAC forums this installation of Safari then uncheck "safe autoplay downloaded files" are the key to success. Well, no such Safari in Wondows 10 and versions windowsified of Techspot et al do not seem to do the trick.

So for itunes V12.3 or later version on Win10, how can I prevent what it is loaded in the library of auto play?

THX.

A common cause of this behavior is files .m3u being present in the files that are added to the library. You can remove these first. Or you can use iTunes folder Watch.

  • How to stop iTunes to reorganize completely my music and videos?

    I have the latest os x and iTunes.

    I have my music, movies and videos organized in folders in my iTunes Media folder. I have a handful of movies and many home videos, but above all I have the music and music videos. I put them in the music folder, arranged by artist > Album

    Here's my problem: when I create a new iTunes library or import files, iTunes automatically much as home vids classifies and moves them all to a great home videos folder, not organized. I tried to uncheck copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding and held the iTUnes Dungeon Media folder, but it still happens. I understand that items purchased from the iTunes store can be hard wired as films, but I only have 2 of these. I'm fine with this limitation.

    How do I download iTunes to just leave things where they are and add as a file music or "video"?

    Thanks in advance!

    John

    It may be useful to what is currently considered a home video as a movie rather reclassified.  Select one of these items in iTunes and click read.  In the Info window, go to the Options tab.  Change the media kind of Home Video movie.  It should now appear in your library of films in film, no video for the House.  If your other files 'movie' (existing) can be arranged as you wish (you want in music for some reason any), it should also work for this film, which was previously a "home video".

    If it works to make a home video, you can select all of your remaining home video movies at the same time, do a multi-point informationand change their media type affecting the same way (in one shot).

  • How to remove a song from my library, but not from the playlist?

    Hello

    I know this question has been asked before. But as far as I don't know in conjunction with Apple music.

    Since there is a way in music from Apple to add a song only to a playlist, not the library, I was wondering if there is a way to remove a song from my library and not from the playlist?

    Is it possible to do?

    All the songs on playlists and in my library are Apple music.

    I tried to export a playlist in XML format, and then deleting the songs in my library, and then import the XML file.

    Unfortunately this does not work because iTunes can't find the songs in Apple's music even though he had only songs from Apple's music in the playlist before.

    I'd hate to have to create all my playlists once more just to empty my library.

    Thanks for your help!

  • How to stop windows 7 from automatically saving a copy of the file to the library?

    I have a desktop hp brand new high.  I installed Microsoft Office 2010.  Whenever I save a file, photo, etc, it saves a copy of the "library".  How it stop doing that?  I read about using the library and he said I could save a copy in the library, but it does it automatically.  Is there a way to stop this?  A I inadvertently set up in this way?  If I delete a file from my documents, it is removed from the library and vice versa.  From what I've read, it should be and the options, not automatic.  If you can help, please dumb it down a lot because I'm not well versed in computer talk.  Thank you very much!

    The library is in fact that index files and in showing them, not actually recording a copy I think. With Explorer open where you can see libraries, choose a category from the left such as the images pane and then right-click and choose Properties. In the window that opens, you should see your C:\ User\Pictures folder that is listed in the index. Click Select, and then click Remove. Now library should not index files. Select each category for example Documents, etc and do the same thing.

  • How to transfer itunes library from PC from XP to Windows 10 computer laptop

    I'm looking for help if there is someone who is able to explain the technical magic to someone who has no idea what she's doing!

    I have an old PC with Windows XP and run my iTunes from there, with all my media files on an external hard drive. The iTunes is version 12.0.1.26. I have "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" box checked, as well as box "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library". I bought a laptop with Windows 10 and want to start running iTunes this new portable computer, while keeping the files on the EHD and keep all my playlists, etc. I have all the music files saved on a separate DHM.

    I installed the latest version of iTunes on the laptop and was able to recognize that my library, but all the playlists, play counts, a large part of the work, and most importanly, the tick on the side of the track (I have about 55 000 titles there, so I have to uncheck a lot because they won't fit on my iPod) disappeared. I don't want to go through the 55 000 tracks again, so could you is it someone please let me know the best way to make the iTunes on the laptop are similar to what I currently have.

    I removed the new version of iTunes from the laptop and tried to open the old version of my EHD, but it won't let me and gives me an error iTunes error Windows error 126 7. I'm guessing that I have not all files necessary for the opening of iTunes on my DHM and some stay in the C drive of my old PC, but I don't know what needs to get through, it is possible to have all the files on the EHD program and open the old version of iTunes on my laptop this way. I took my DHM and reconnect the old PC and it still works very well from there.

    I have to say it's all become a bit of a mess over the years, as I tried to move everything related to iTunes, including program files, for my DHM, it would be reasonable to assume that I don't know where all the bits and pieces that need to run iTunes currently are on my old PC and DHM and something seems to be duplicated with similar looking for records in both places, probably as a result do not remove older versions during the upgrade as I should have done. I confirm, however, that my library is in a folder on the EHD.

    I can't upgrade to the latest version of iTunes on the old PC, because it doesn't seem to be compatible with XP, and I was unable to download the older version of iTunes on the new laptop (something to do with a difference between 32 and 64 bit, but I didn't have a clue what it meant!).

    Ultimately, I want to be able to do is plug my DSE on the new laptop and be able to open iTunes, see everything, as it is currently on my old PC.

    Sorry to look like a bit of a novice when it comes to computers, but if someone could help I would be very grateful, because I'm afraid to do something which all mess up!

  • How to stop applications to sync on my iPhone when I sync my music from iTunes on my Mac to my iPhone?

    How can I stop all applications that are in my iTunes to sync on my iPhone while I'm syncing my music from my iTunes on my Mac to my iPhone? He doesn't have a checkbox in the Apps section for not having ALL these apps to go back on my iPhone. Help! Now should I remove each app individually out of my iPhone?

    Hi there deg20,

    Welcome to the communities of Apple Support! Looks like all the applications listed in iTunes to sync your iPhone while you move your music. I can understand wanting to be able to customize the content that is on your device. I'll be more than happy to help!

    From what you describe, appears it option "automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" to be enabled. To activate which turns off, select the Summary tab and uncheck the box next to this feature. Once you have done this, you should be able to navigate between sections of content / media specific to choose what you want to synchronize with your device. After you apply these changes, it should appear on your iPhone. See the following article for advice on the content of sync on your iPhone:

    Sync your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iTunes on your computer through a USB port

    You should also ensure that you have enabled the option to manually manage content, as described in this article:

    Sync your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iTunes on your computer through a USB port

    If you don't manually add or remove content from your device

    Check the option "Manually manage music and videos" is turned on:

    1. Connect your device to your computer.
    2. Open iTunes. Make sure you have the latest version.
    3. Locate and click on your device.
    4. In the left sidebar, click summary.
    5. Scroll down to the Options section.
    6. Check the "Manually manage music and videos."
    7. Click on apply.

    You might see a message that your device is synchronized with another library. This means that you used another computer to sync your device in the past, and iTunes cannot sync without erasing first and replace everything iTunes on your device.

    Relax your day fantastic!

  • How to stop itunes from Auto-filling of music on my ipod touch

    How can I prevent itunes AutoFill music on my ipod touch unwanted 5 without having to delete songs or hide the songs (the ones I bought from the iTunes Store) my library on itunes (Windows)? I think that the songs that continue to if autofilled on my ipod are the ones I bought in the store. I didn't hide them in my library, I want to hear them more later to see if I want to add later, but I got fed up and did exactly that.  I will not hide from my library is because I want to be able to see without having to connect to my apple account in the itunes store, to see what songs I bought but have 'hidden' from my library or deleted the download of the.

    I have no music sync checked, however, whenever I plug my ipod into my computer, music always synchronizes on my ipod.  I don't have the option to automatically download the songs I purchased on iTunes store checked.  I usually manually delete each of the songs, but I'm tired of having to do so.

    I just tried to erase my ipod first of music, including those I wanted to keep, but I came across the problem where they would not disappear, even after reset everything on my ipod touch. I had to manually delete all (before doing so, I did what I do always when running in auto-fill issue - delete music in data storage settings manage, which works normally, but this time he did not).

    I'm really starting to hate Itunes because of this auto-fill problem.

    I'm on Windows and iTunes 11, for what it's worth, but I think it should work even if you have a slightly different version.

    Before you plug in your iPod, go to the menu small case in the upper left corner of iTunes (or if you have the menu bar visible, click on change). Select Preferences, go to devices in the pop-up window, and check the box that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads of automatic synchronization. Click on low OK.at of the pop-up window.

    This should solve the problem. Worked for me anyway (I am like you and prefer to manually manage all my stuff).
