iTunes for Mac

How can I stop iTunes to automatically add each audio file I opened to my iTunes library? I create projects that use a variety of audio files, but I don't want them added to my iTunes library or in iTunes anywhere. To stop this problem any help would be greatly appreciated. El Capitan 10.11.4

Is the file added when you double-click in the Finder?

This should not happen unless you set your Finder preferences to open this type of file in iTunes and you have iTunes > Preferences > advanced together to copy files to the iTunes folder...

  • Import and burn on iTunes for Mac

    I bought a MacBook Pro in June this year and of course I don't have a CD rom port. Is there a way I can transfer/burn the physical CD music in iTunes without port CD rom?

    You can buy a CD/DVD drive and connect you to use for the import, or if you have other Macs with CD / DVD players, you can share the disk or import music and move them manually (or share them via home sharing in iTunes).

    Use the CD or DVD drive from another computer with your Mac - Apple Support

    Apple sells the http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MD564LL/A/apple-usb-superdrive Superdrive, it is generally compatible with the Mac but a lot more than a third of those that you can find anywhere else.

  • Glitch reading on iTunes for Mac

    The sound keeps cutting in and out. It's okay if it's a song of music from Apple or a resident on my computer.  It is almost impossible to listen to.

    This only started happening in the last two days. He can't immediately on reboot, but comes in a few minutes later.

    I am up to date on the system and iTunes. I've tried reboots, cleaning PRAM, etc..  I'm on end of 2013 MacBook Pro, with 16 GB of memory. I have 100 free GB of ROM as well.

    Can you be a little more specific on what you mean by "Glitchy". Songs start and stop and then restart or did he stutter but continue to play despite the fact that he stutters? In addition, it's for all your songs or a few? And finally, have you tried to delete a song that has this condition and then re - load?

    In the Radio to iTunes with Apple's music section, the kind most stations (i.e. "Chill") beyond the generic 'Star centres' and 'Recently played' sections have disappeared in the last week or two.

    Anyone know what is happening?

  • 12.4.3.1 for Mac iTunes, playlists, etc.

    I have iTunes for Mac 12.4.3.1. I miss the sidebar and find navigation arse-about-face. All the advice that I've seen to restore a semblance of the side-bar is to click 'playlists', but this isn't an option that I seem to have... the only visible options are: 'my music', 'for you', 'News', 'radio', 'connect' and "iTunes store" - I have no interest in "for you", 'new', 'radio' or 'connect', but I would like to at least see my playlists... suggestions?

  • How do "Ctrl-click" in iTunes for Windows

    I'm trying to archive a backup.  Status of "Ctrl-click" instructions on the specific backup that is displayed on the screen.

    iTunes normally manages a backup bearing for each device unless you restore a backup, in which case it is archived and a new backup bearing created. On a Mac, you can get iTunes to duplicate a backup set, but this feature is not copied into iTunes for Windows. You can do a manual to copy the backup set in C:\Users\ < user > \AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup and give it a file name ending in - yyyymmdd-hhmmss but iTunes doesn't show all with a different name in the backup list, probably if one is the active backup for a device time update on the next backup.

  • I have an iPad and you'd like to raise my list of bookmarks of Firefox for MAC to my iPad Safari.app; is it possible automatically?

    I have a MacBook Pro under OS X 10.5.7 and an iPad running iOS 6.1.3 2.
    On MAC, I have Firefox for MAC v 19.0.2 and Safari 6.0.3
    The iPad, I have only Safari for iPad. I always use Firefox as my browser for the MacBook, but there is no Firefox app for the iPad.

    My Safari bookmarks automatically updated the MacBook to the iPad, but not Firefox for iPad. Is it possible for the auto update from Firefox instead of Safari to the Safari.app iPad? If not, is there an easy way on the MacBook to hold Safari bookmarks up-to-date with bookmarks in Firefox, so that the iPad share my Firefox bookmarks?

    If this is not possible now, you count that is possible for MAC users who also have an iPad?

    Specific advice Apple seem to be uninstall QuickTime, it should no longer be necessary and has a few potential security vulnerabilities. See Uninstall QuickTime 7 for Windows - Apple Support.

    Assuming that you have a 64 bit system, this facility expected to be compatible. For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates. More information area has direct links with the current and recent if you have problems to download, need to install an older version , or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with third-party software.

    It's really strange

    3.12 GB com.apple.WebKit.WebContent (4)

    which means that Safari has only a couple of open tabs, but it consumes 3 + GB of your memory.  There must be some very greedy Javascript running in one or more of these pages.  Here again, it's Snow Leopard, so this version of Safari can not create processes by web page, then you might have dozens of tabs open, which would explain 3 + GB of memory used by Safari.

    Avast is the likeliest suspect.

    I suspect things MacKeeper remains links a MacKeeper withdrawal (unless the abduction was recent, then it could be that something damaged MacKeeper).

    Mettle network stuff.  If it's hogging the network that can interfere with other network applications, such as Mail (I think I have more to get here, but I also think it should be mentioned).
