How Can You Add New MP3s to itunes without Duplicating Existing Songs

Is there a way to get iTunes to search my music folder and only add song not already in my library? I rip all my music as MP3s with CDex so I can have some music at work (We're not allowed to install programs at work so I have to use Media Player there). I keep everything in a folder called music with folders for each artist and a separate folder for each of their albums. Sometimes I'll rip a bunch of CDs in one day that end up being scattered throughout my entire music folder. It's a royal pain in the behind to have to nagivate to each individual directory to add the songs to my iTunes library. I can not find any option for "find new songs", or more preferably to tell iTunes to search my main music directory and add new, AND ONLY NEW, songs to it's library. If click "File" then "Add folder to library" then pick my music folder iTunes proceeds to add all the new music I've added, but also adds another listing of every song already in the library. Why is this so difficult? Is it just me? Am I missing something simple here?

I take that means I'd be able to move my stuff (since I've ripped them all) from computer to computer without worrying that one day it'll tell me I've used up my five computers?
If I switch the setting and start letting iTunes to organize everything will it move the files from their current location into the iTunes music folder? Does iTunes put them on my hard drive in such a way that I'd be able to know which song is which if I "look" at my hard drive without using iTunes? I only ask this because if i try to find a song on my iPod they're all in mysterious folders with mysterious names and I have no way of telling which song is which if the computer I plug it into doesn't have iTunes. Oh, one last question. How does the 5 computer thing work? If my girlfriend plugs her iPod into my computer does that count? for example if she has her iPod authorized on her home computer, her work computer, and her laptop, does this mean she can only authorize it two more times?

How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?

How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?
In otherwords I'd like to put my logo in the email not as an attachment but as an image.
Is there a simpel solution to this problem?

You don't.
It's not possible. The e-mail protocol is designed for text; anything else has to go as an attachment.
Different mail clients (such as Mail.app, the mail client bundled with Mac OS X) may have different ways of handling such attachments, but they are still attachments. Each mail client has its own rules and methods, so one may display a picture as if it were in the body of the message, but another client may do something completely different.
A way of faking it is to format your message in HTML (which is a kind of text). The image is hosted on a remote server, not added to the message; instead, you include a link to it in the body of the message, as you would when building a web page. (This is also what the two tips helpfully provided by X423424X do, except that the link to the image is added in the signature, rather than the body of the message.) What exactly happens to it is, again, at the discretion of the mail client. In my case, for instance, displaying images in HTML messages is turned off, and will stay resolutely off.

How can you "Add document" in shared documents without allowing editing the page ie Contribute?

Hello Community
    Using SharePoint 2010 Server and the UI, when you click "Site
Actions" - "New Site" and you create Team Site that that is a
Sub-site.
    When you create the Visitor, Members and Owners groups
how can you allow the user to add a document while at the same
time not allow them to edit the page when adding the document
as the only permissions are Full Control, Contribute and Read?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

Hi Shabeaut,
To create a new permission level, you should manage the Parent (site collection).
Your current location is subsite, and it looks like it has unique permission(broke inheritance) that is the reason you are not able to see the create permission level. and another reason for seeing Inherit Permissions along with other menus in the ribbon.
You should also see Manage Parent along with the menus you see when your site inherits permission from parent.
So, go to your site collection and create a new permission level and assign users to it.
And to assign permission level to your new groups, you will be able assign permission when you create a new group, along with the name, all permissions would be listed in the same page(_layouts/newgrp.aspx).
see the below screenshot for more info -
->Site Actions menu-> Site Settings->Users and Permissions->Site ->Permission Levels.
Hope this helps!

How can you add a mp3 player to your Lightroom web gallery?

I feel like this would be a highly desirable feature and assumed Adobe would add it to Lightroom 3. That doesnt seem to be the case. Does anyone know an easy work around for adding music to your Lightroom web galleries? Dewplayer http://www.alsacreations.fr/dewplayer-en.html seems to have a open source mp3 player with a code generator. I assume i can use that and then cut and past the code into one of the lightroom gallery files. Anyone know where to paste it? I am using lighroom's simpleviewer web gallery.

I have new iphone and all data were restored but my music! How can I add my music from Itunes and new iphone?

Connect the old phone to your computer, right click on it in iTunes, and choose Transfer Purchases. That should put all of your music in iTunes except any tracks that were not purchased from iTunes. If you have any such you will have to retrieve them from the original source, or see: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.
Apple also has this tip for copying data from an old phone to a new one.

I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.When i try to sync iphone with itunes it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs.

"it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs."
Are you connecting to a different iTunes library than you normally connect to? That will erase the songs and playlists since the iPhone can't be connected to multiple libraries even if it is in manual sync mode.
If you no longer have access to the original library that your iPhone calls 'home', then the only way to save the playlist (and the songs on your iPhone) would be to use a 3rd party application to extract your iPhone contents to this new iTunes library you're trying to connect to.

How can I add new songs to the top (not the bottom) of my playlist in iTunes?

How can I add new songs to the top of my playlist in iTunes?
I thought thats what it did before but now it automatically adds new songs to the bottom of the list.
Not a huge issue but an annoyance.

Go to your Music library
Then, Click Playlist
Then, Click the sort arrow until it points down.

How do you add album art in iTunes 12? everything I've tried doesn't work

how do you add album art in iTunes 12?

Two methods:
Right-click on the album, select Get Album Artwork. iTunes will determine whether this album is available from the iTunes Store and, if so, download the artwork image from the Store and associate it with the media files.
Right-click on the album, select Get Info and then the Artwork tab, Then:
click the Add Artwork button, navigate to and select an image file on your computer, or
drag and drop an image file from your computer to the Artwork tab, or
copy an image to the clipboard (for example, from a web page) go to the Artwork tab and press Ctrl-V (there's a bug in iTunes 12.0.1.26 such that right-click > paste does not work here
For the second method, you can also access the "old style" editor window from iTunes 11 by holding down Shift as you right-click > Get Info.
Lastly, there are three cases in which you can follow these procedures but artwork is not correctly associated with or embedded in your media files:
your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files. To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties. On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white. Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected. Now try adding the artwork again.
Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12). See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again.

How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc which has ample remaining free space? After preparing the new video for burning and clicking on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject.

How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc with a video previously successfully recorded on it? (The disc has ample remaining free space.)
After preparing the new video for burning and clicking in the File menu on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject. My assumption has been that iDVD would automatically find the free space and continue with the new recording from there. I'd be grateful if anyone can shine light on this.

There are, but not with a DVD written as a movie disk. It must be closed when completed, or it doesn't work.
Apple's built in Burn utility also automatically closes any data CD, DVD or Blu-ray disk you burn. Doesn't matter how much space is unused, you can't use it. You'd have to use a more advanced disk creation app, such as Toast Titanium. I then have the option of choosing to write the data as a session:
I can keep doing this until the disk is full. If I've written five sessions to the disk, when I put it in the drive, five CD/DVD icons will appear on the desktop since the OS will treat each session as if they are separate physical disks. At any point you choose Write Disk when writing a group of data, that means you're closing the disk, and again can't add anything after that. So if I had written two sessions, and the third was Write Disk, it's over. I can't put anything else on that disk.

How can i add new jcomponent to a frame?

hi.
how can we add new component to a frame? look at this code. Why when i click on button, nothing added to frame? event handled correctly and frame size changes but no button adds to frame.
private void convertButtonMouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
// TODO add your handling code here:
JButton newButton = new JButton("new");
getContentPane().add(newButton , BorderLayout.CENTER);
newButton.setVisible(true);
setSize(500, 500);
}

Don't forget to use the Code Formatting Tags so the posted code retains its original formatting. That is done by selecting the code and then clicking on the "Code" button above the question input area.
Well typically you wouldn't add a button to the Center of a BorderLayout. If you really want to do this you should be using a [Card Layout|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/TOC.html].
In general the code for adding/removing components should be:
panel.add(...)
panel.revalidate();
panel.repaint();

How can I add new background on iweb?

Dear all,
somebody knows how can I add new backgroungs on iweb? and also how can I add my own themes?

You can add new backgrounds in the "page"..."layout" section of the "inspector"...no limit to what you can add. Remember to use low resolution pics (72 dpi vs 300 dpi) and think of the size necessary for a "wallpaper" on your desktop. ex. http://www.desertmoon.net/Coryhamilton/Home.html done with a Jumsoft theme (baseball dark) as a core.
The file used as a background on that site is located at http://www.desertmoon.net/Coryhamilton/Home_files/grunge.jpg
It's dimensions are 1200px by 797px and 284k in file size. I guess there might be a reason to have the width set for 1200px even though file sizes could benefit from a smaller dimension repeating graphic, but running the file through Photoshop or even Elements would let the owner "Save For Web" as a .jpg - medium quality and get the file size down to about 108k so that the page would load quite a bit faster.

How can I add new row/column into existing jTable?

DefaultTabelModel tablemodel = new DefaultTableModel(rowdata, columnNames);
//and
   JTabel jtable = new JTable(tablemodel);
// Handler (row)
jbtAddRow.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
      if(jtable.getSelectedRow() >= 0 )
          tablemodel.insertRow(jtable.getSelectedRow(), new java.util.Vector());
       else
            tablemodel.addRow(new java.util.Vector());
    });to add new columns its the same but inside actionPerformed method:

How can I Add new LookAndFel to IDE

How can I Add new LookAndFel to IDE "JDeveloper 10g" ?
(to the combo box in the Tool->Preferences->LookAndFeel ).

Here is how you can add new L&Fs to the drop down list. (Instructions are for Linux , as I use Linux, but they will work for Windows too)
Add the L&F jar to <path to JRE>/lib/ext (or <path to JDK>/jre/lib/ext). Then create swing.properties (if it does not already exist) in <path to JRE>/lib (or in jdk...) with following lines:
swing.installedlafs = motif,windows,metal,mac,plastic
swing.installedlaf.motif.name = CDE/Motif
swing.installedlaf.motif.class = com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel
swing.installedlaf.windows.name = Windows
swing.installedlaf.windows.class = com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel
swing.installedlaf.metal.name = Metal
swing.installedlaf.metal.class = javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel
swing.installedlaf.mac.name = Mac
swing.installedlaf.mac.class = com.sun.java.swing.plaf.mac.MacLookAndFeel
swing.installedlaf.plastic.name = Plastic
swing.installedlaf.plastic.class = com.jgoodies.plaf.plastic.PlasticLookAndFeel
swing.defaultlaf=com.jgoodies.plaf.plastic.PlasticLookAndFeel
Note that I retained default example L&Fs that normally come with the JDK/JRE (depending on the platfom) and added PlasticLookAndFeel as additional PLAF (Pluggable Look And Feel).
Now it should be possible to choose Plastic L&F in not only JDeveloper but also other Swing apps that you want to use.
Please let me know if this works and also if you have any questions.
