How to add music to iTunes without copying the music files

How to add music to iTunes without music copied to an iTunes Media folder or anywhere else?

I read the answer is to go into the advanced settings and uncheck "Copy files to iTunes Media when adding to library". Which is excellent and this option is not checked, but iTunes keep copy of the music into an iTunes Media folder...

Anything ripped CD, converted, downloaded from the iTunes Store or added via the automatically add to iTunes folder will eventually iTunes Media. If you add a folder of files stored outside the media folder and the option is disabled, then iTunes should not be generating copies in the media folder. Can you describe a specific example where you can see the new arrival before and after importation?

As a backup to one side and the migration of an iTunes library is much easier if all the content is organized inside the iTunes Media folder, but this is no reason not to try and find out why things are not behave correctly for you now.

    I use a file that I used previously to a directory.  I rename to use the layout, but use all of the new images, etc.  It shows all links are good in the document, but when I go to package, I get the message that it cannot copy the related files.  I have InDesign CC 2014 and OS X El Capitan.  Any ideas on a fix?

    Looking for special characters in link names. I think that only dashes and underscores (maybe a few others) are allowed in file names. Also look for foreign language characters.

    I want to copy music files from an external hard drive to my laptop without any duplicates. files can be copied without overwriting the existing files?

    Yes, you can.

    You can either use the simple method of drag - move or the right click move optionfrom context menu.

    Method of drag - move will have a copy of the music even external drive and one copy in your personal folder.
    Move To method will be "moving" the music file from the drive of the post to your personal folder. No duplicate.

    If you do not have CopyTo and Move To options in your right click context menu, use this tutorial:

    Use a method... that's easier.

  • How to add lines of text information in the settings?

    Guys,

    I'm trying to customize a few things about Motion 5 and really I was wondering how to add these lines of text in the settings?

    Tried to google it, but without success.

    I think you need to learn how * write * FxPlug effects plugins. You cannot add these labels/buttons on the move as it is. What I usually do, is create a platform > pop up widget and use remove the "Snapshot" texts... "(and usually replace it with a series of quadratins (---) to create a line of separation.) To help you, you must have a 'sex' you can show/hide with opacity (and a rig box) which displays the help text.

    My workflow is to editing and cropping of images. I need the flexibility to perform any order.

    When I use the crop tool, I continue to delete the cropped Pixels unchecked. When I edit the images I want to edit the complete picture, not cropped image.

    If I use reveal all to make alterations on the full image after cropping, I lose my job of cropping. Is there a solution?

    How to take a bath without getting wet?

    Enter drollery side you could use a path of access to store the current size before calling "Reveal everything", then later on the path as a selection of load, switch to the crop tool and hit.

    Or convert to smart object before you crop, then do the editing in the SO (it could be a potentially significant increase in file size, however).
