Any way to set iTunes for automatic updates?

For example, if I have a "My Music" folder, and I copy over some MP3 files from wherever, is there a way to set iTunes to automatically "watch" that folder for new files and add them to the library when it finds them? I haven't been able to find a feature that does this.
If not, why not? "Watch folders" have been in use for years on my other music players.

No. Itunes has no such feature

Any way to set color for value in chart and still filter out values (but retain colors)?

Is there any way that I can hard code a color into a chart and still filter out values?
I have 5 divisions, each with a specific color. I have put them into a stacked column chart and it looks fine. My issue arises when I try to filter out some of the divisions. The colors do not stay with the specified divisions.
Ex.)
Div 1 = Red
Div 2 = Green
Div 3 = Black
When I filter out Div 1, this is what I see:
Div 2 = Red
Div 3 = Green
I have tried standard delivered filter panel, and check-boxes using CHART_1.setDataSelection( )
It seems like the color hard coding in the "additional" properties of the chart are not tied to the value, but are determined by sort order. Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi,
There is one Possibility bu not By chart .
It will look like chart but will use Text box .
Lets say you have 5 Divisions & 3 Key figures .
Then You need 5 * 3 = 15 Text box .
Arrange them in 5 columns and 3 rows type of view .
now .
set fix width for all .
set the height & position by coding
You need to set this type of code for filter selection also .

How to set applications for automatic updates?

Some apps are updated automatically and others require approval before the update takes place. Is there a way to change an installed app from the approval-needed mode to automatic updates?

sgmccunn, We can understand the importance wanting to chose to do an automatic update for your applications. Unfortunately, if the application does not give the ability to auto update it cannot be overridden. Some app creators want people to know what they are chosing to upgrade. It does require approval beforehand.

Any way to set StartDayOfWeek for Date Picker in af:inputDate

In af:inputDate, First Day of Week varies in different locales, is there any way the Date Picker can show it correctly without formatting-locale?

af:inputDate should do this automatically based on the browser's locale setting. Can you describe your use case in more detail where this is not the desired behavior?

How do I get a reliable schedule for automatic update in Windows Server 2012 R2?

I don't understand why MS broke the automatic update in Windows Server 2012 R2. In previous versions, I used to set it for automatic updates - Saturdays at 2AM. I can no longer pick a weekly update in the GUI and the time seems to have no impact on its capricious
reboots due to updates. It might happen 2 days later at noon. The best option for now is to just shut off the automatic updates but I'm reading this issue has been around since 2012 R1. There supposedly is a fix/patch for
2012 but it doesn't say if the patch is for 2012 R2 and the automatic updates haven't installed a fix that actually fixes what is broken with the automatic updates.
Why even leave the GUI for automatic updates if it doesn't mean anything?
Is there a simple registry key I can change so updates occur according to the schedule that you created in the GUI? Please no powershell - worst crutch MS ever created to not fix their own gui.
I'm seeing people have tried some advanced work around using GPO but many said those don't work reliably either on hosts or domain controllers.

I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wires apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wires apple id for iTunes?

I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wifes apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wifes apple id for iTunes?

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?

My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?
It would be so much easier having seperate accounts but we have hundreds of her purchased songs on my account and she would need to be able to access these from her account. Possible?
Also, if we bought a song in future we would want to be able to both have access to it.
Alternatively, what is the easy way to sync two distinctly different contact lists to one iTunes account?
Thank you in advance.

FYI: iTunes account (used to make purchases) is not the same as iTunes library (iTunes on your computer with music, movies, etc.).

Will we have to create a seperate account for her, or can we all have the same one?
You can but you will not be able to limit what she syncs.
I would like to avoid 'checking' and 'unchecking' individual songs every time one of us tries to synch our ipods to the library.
I don't recommend using (only) the checkmarks to select what to sync.
Each of you can create your own playlists then sync only those playlists.
Then add/delete from your own playlists to change iPod content.
The only time I uncheck items is if I rarely/never want to sync them to anything, such as Christmas music or old audiobooks.
I suggest you each have your own computer login account. Then everyone has their own contacts, calendars, and everything else.
You and your husband can share an iTunes library and let your daughter have her own.

Is there any way to set Software Update to ignore a particular packages?

If Software Update identifies a new version of something which I don't want to install, is there any way of making it ignore that update when it checks next time.
It's not unusual for minor updates to include no security fixes, no fixes for defects which affect me and no additional functionality. In these cases I'd rather not update but I haven't been able to find anyway to stop Software Update from prompting me to install the same version every time it checks.

Thank you for the reply.
That menu item just sets Software Update to ignore that particular version does it? I did spot it but the dialog which it opens says "You will no longer be notified of new versions of this update." which is not a very clear message but "new versions" made me think that clicking "OK" would make it ignore all future updates for the component and not just the particular version I want to skip.
Sorry, maybe my original post wasn't very clear that it I just want to skip versions I don't see a need to install, not permanently ignore certain apps/components.

Is there a way to set up an automatic paste function for frequently used phrases

Are you really using an earlier OS than Mac OS 8.6? That would be either 8.1, or 8.5 if I recall correctly.

Is there any way to set a timer for particular playlist?

i would like to listen to a sleep playslist everynight without getting up to turn it on. is there any way to set it in advance?

this is not the problem. i know how to open iTunes when it starts up and to schedule the computer to shut down. what i want to is at 8 pm close all applications except iTunes, put the display to sleep and at 9 pm start playing a sleep playlist. i have been told many times not to look at the computer an hour before bed and i so i want to avoid having to look at it to start my go to sleep playlist.
i have looked at a number of programs but i don’t see one that does this yet.

Is there any way to stop an app from updating? I accidently hit update all, and have an app I don't want updated.

Is there any way to stop an app from updating? I accidently hit "update all" and have an app i don't want updated. Thanks

you can't reverse the process, once you accepted there is no other way, if you sync it to your itunes library in your computer it will automatically update the updated app as well.
What you can try though is delete the app from your iPad and try syncing it to your itunes library but if you set up iCloud it may update the app automatically

Prevent / stop itunes 11 automatically updating

I dont know how i ended up with itunes 11 but i cant stand it - mainly because it slows my whole computer down so much i cant have it open in the background. Its a windows 7 machine with 4gb ram. Everything works fine inc CAD and video editing, but itunes is just way too slow.
I have reverted to itunes 10.7 several times, but itunes always automatically updates itself to version 11. It doesnt ask me - it just happens magically. One day i am happily using itunes 10.7. The next day i open itunes and it will be version 11 and go through all the new version stuff.I have tried the following things:
- Yes i have unchecked the box in preferences that says: "automatically check for updates"
- when i have uninstalled i have also removed every other piece of Apple software including Apple Software Updater
- i have rolled back to to itunes 10.7 and then uninstalled the software updater which must be part of the whole package
- i have tried to edit the registry - to disable automatically checking for updates but have not had success.
How do i stop itunes from updating automatically?

So heres the latest:
During the week my computer again magically updated itself to itunes 11. I have no idea how. I open itunes and it starts the "new itunes" stuff. I see no update dialogue whatsoever. Its about 2 weeks since i rolled back to 10.7
I generally work with remote rural communities - i can get internet through my cell phone but only enough bandwidth to send/receive emails. Its virtually impossible to load web pages which leaves me wondering how itunes 11 manages to get itself onto my computer in the first place.
I can only suppose when i am in the city every week or 2 it has downloaded itself and then decides to install itself at an opportune time.
Im happy to buy music through itunes but the program itself is such a resource hog that i cant use it while running CAD programs or other work software. Added to that i cant stop it from doing whatever it likes to my computer - its starting to look more like malware than a useful program to me.
Anyone have this strange problem? The options i can see are: dump itunes for winamp or other; reinstall windows which im not inclined to do.
Ideas?
Regards,
Craig
