When I import a folder into my library, music starts playing and I can't stop it.
So, I haven't used iTunes in years.
I'm just wondering if this is the same for everyone, of if I've just done something wrong.
Brand new install of the latest version of iTunes (11.3.1) - Open it up, use the "Import folder" option to import a folder into my library.
It's a large (over 200gb) folder.
As it's importing, for some reason, iTunes starts to play the first few seconds of each album that gets imported.
But, because the "Importing.." dialogue window is open, I can't hit "pause" or "stop".
So, my computer is just sitting here playing the first few seconds of many many songs whilst importing. I can turn down the volume to stop it, but I'm just wondering -
Is this normal? Seems a little odd and strange.
Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things.

When I add a folder to the library, does that mean that 'later' when I drop a new file into that folder (already added) it will automatically end up in iTunes? (or do I have to add file/folder to library every time I have a new file??) I'm using XP...
iTunes does not actively scan the media folders. If you manually add content to a folder, then you must add that content to iTunes manually via the File > Add File/Folder feature.
The only folder that gets scanned is the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder. -

Often times when I copy a CD into my library it will break my CD into multiple albums in my library, each with only a few songs.
Usually this is because there might be songs where the artists has other artists in the song.
How can I compile all of the different albums (all with the same name by the way) back into one as was the original disc?Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

When I import .mts files into Premiere 7 the audio is intermittent?
Good afternoon. I am new to this forum and your help would be appreciated. I have recently purchased a Sony Hard Drive Camcorder X105E and I have done my first filming. When I import the files into Premiere Elements 7 and preview them the audio is intermittent on playback. What am I doing wrong cause I cant figure it out?
Thanks in advance for your answers
Regards
Edenr1OK, on the I/O, you have one, nicely sized, physical HDD. You don't have it partitioned, do you?
With one physical HDD, so many things are happening at the same exact time:
1.) your OS is reading/writing to it
2.) your program is reading/writing to it
3.) your media is being read from it
4.) your OS's Virtual Memory is probably being used, so it's reading/writing to it
The problem is that all of these (plus possibly some other programs/Processes) are fighting to get their data handled at the same time. Each is telling the HDD that it needs the heads in one place on a platter. Same for the next program, and the next. Unfortunately, regardless of the speed of the HDD and the speed of the controller, the heads can only be in one place at one time.
Especially for the Audio (that is more I/O intensive, than the Video usually is - it taxes the CPU much more), you will benefit from more physical HDD's.
I just posed an ARTICLE in the Tips & Tricks sub-forum. It links to two articles by Harm Millard. His article on HDD setup is a gem. Now, it takes things to a professional NLE level, and few are quite ready for that, still the info is good. Much can be extrapolated from his suggestions. Though he lists the ultimate Video editing setup, many concepts can be applied on a smaller scale. You might want to read over the linked articles. They will give you some things to think about.
Also, I just saw an ad for a 1TB WD ATA-300 HDD for US$ 79.00 at Fry's Electronics. While you may need an ATA-100, this shows how far prices have fallen. I've got an ATA-100 1TB, to augment my 4x1TB SATA II's, and it's not that old. I paid US$ 400 for it! Should have waited, but then I've used it for the last year, so all is not lost.
Good luck,

When i plugged my ipod into the computer it started to make buzzing and screeching noises. It became hot so i removed it and then the screen froze while it continued to make these noises. I have never had anything like this happen. (never gotten it wet or had it exposed to extreme temperatures) It is also unresponsive to any buttons on the ipod and it didn't show up when i plugged it into my computer. What do I do? Also if it is unfixable could i get a free one from apple?

tried to move my itunes library to an external to free up space and run itunes off of an external. Went through all the steps. Received the message "The folder containing "iTunes Library" cannot be found, and is required. Please choose or create a new iTunes library," like it mentioned I might, and here is where the instructions end. Now what?

when I set my screen saver to iLibrary it defaults to national geographic,why and how can I stop it
Back up all data. Quit System Preferences if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A folder named "ByHost" should open. Look inside it for a file with a long name that begins "com.apple.screensaver". There may be several such files. Move them all to the Trash.
Log out or restart the computer. Test. If the problem is resolved, empty the Trash and recreate your settings in the Screen Saver tab. -
It's like it booted to a state it was in several months ago. My CS 5 apps are not in the dock or applications folder. Has this ever happened before and what can I do?
The files on my desktop are not the ones that were there when I shut down. It's like it's gone back in time.
My display's power supply got fried (I think) in a power outage so I bought a new one. However, every time I restart the display usually stays black. I have found I need to keep rebooting until it kicks in and starts working. I unplug everything, wait a while (a few minutes to overnight) and try booting again.
This last time the display finally came on but I'm faced with this problem. I used to use time machine, but I deleted everything and disabled it a couple months ago or more so I'm at aloss as to why the mac is booting into the state it was in sevearl months ago.
What could I have done to cause this? Has this ever happened to anyone else and is there a solution?
Note: I did a search for a file I knew was created today. I found it and it showed that it was a file I had saved on the desktop this morning--even though that file's icon is not appearing on the desktop now.
I did a search for photoshop and saw my CS5 version listed.
However, I did a couple more searches and these files no longer appear in the search. I don't know if they're there or not. This is bizarre!
I'm on a Mac Pro, 10.6.2.Thanks for the obvious question. I mean it. The very same thought came to me this morning and, sure enough, I had booted into another drive--my old one that, of course, had the old desktop, etc.
It didn't dawn on me that this was the case since I hadn't set it as a boot drive but I guess in the course of all the restarts I did, it got switched.
I'm back to normal again. -

Is this a problem with the computer or with the word processor? MS Word for example seems to think its grammar and spelling are better than mine - they are not. You have to go into MS Word preferences and uncheck all the useless "help" it wants to provide.
