Disable auto import function?

I want to disable the auto import function in iTunes, but can not find the setting.
My problem is I download a new song into a temp directory, immediately iTunes opens and imports the song into the iTunes library. I DO NOT want iTunes to import the song at this time. I want to move the song to my MP3 folder first.
This is a real pain because I have to first delete the song from iTunes then move the song file, then import the song again from the MP3 folder. If anyone knows a way around this please let me know.
Thanks!

Disable Auto Import

I am using Lightroom v.1.3.1. Whenever I put a USB drive in the USB slot it automatically launches Lightroom...even if my intent is to move a different type of file for a different application.
Is there a way to disable the Auto Import function?
Thanks,

Disable Auto Add function in Itunes

Hey.
I have a lot of recordet phonecall in my document folder.
Whem i lisen to this file in itunes it automatic add the reference to my itunes lib.
Is it posible to disable this function and how?
When i lisen to music with some guests it is not clever to share my work calls with them...
Christian

I guess trashing iTunes worked. It will ask where is iTunes, just redirect to an application like finder, and it stop launching whenever I have to create / convert movies.
Not the greatest solution, but will do until someone posts a way of turning that feature (or seems to be a script) off.
PS: keeping a copy of iTunes in any hard drive or location will launch iTunes again.

Hi @Yowan
I saw your post regarding the disabling the automatic search function. Are you talking about the search function on your main tile page? What is it automatically searching? Can you post a screen shot so I can get a better idea of what is happening?

Lightroom 2.1 Auto import file naming adding -1

I have used lightroom's (2.1) auto import function on 5 separate shoots with no problem. On my last shoot lightroom has been adding a "-1" to the file name. I am using "Custom name - Original File". So what used to be "Jen-1007" is now "Jen-1-1007", "Jen-1-1008", "Jen-1-1009", etc. I tried to use the other methods of naming but a -1 still comes up in some part of the file name. I would appreciate any help. Thanks

First I would check the file naming preset to make sure that it hasn't been accidentally edited, then I would choose a new empty location to write to (destination).

Disable iPhoto Import

Re: iPhoto / iLife '11
I attempted to follow the only posting I could find dated 2006. Apparently, the selection/prefernces process has changed. I simply want to disable auto-import of photos into iPhoto. I cannot find a ‘Preference’ setting/option within 'Image Capture' or within the ‘Image Capture Help’ menu. Please advise.
Dan

From what source would a folder or app come from?
You make folders using the finder or other file management software - you install Apps
iPads don't have folders (as far as I am aware) and their apps are different to an iMac so you wouldn't want to do this?
And of course this does not apply to an iPad - there is no Image Capture application for the iPad and this is not the iPad forum - it is the iPhoto for Mac forum and posts here relate to iphoto on the Mac only - if you do not want iphoto to launch then obviously you would want to do this no matter what other devices you might own

Auto import from network drive

Lightroom tells me the watched folder for the auto import function cannot be a network drive. I am using a laptop tethered to a camera, which then is accessible via the network. I want to auto import from this laptop into Lightroom.
Is this not possible?

That's the way I have to do it today, but sometimes the laptop is too far away to have a good wi-fi connection. I want to be able to continue to take pictures while tethered to the laptop without stopping. Better to have Lightroom watch, and when the laptop comes back in wi-fi range, then to auto import.

Auto Import feature lacking convert to DNG and move to subfolders...

Folks,
As many of you may be aware, when setting up a folder for auto import, LR 3.3 does not give you the same options as you might see in the regular import functionality. Namely, the ability to convert to RAW images to DNG on the import as well as move to subfolders is not available. This is a real bugger for me as I have a nice new Eye-Fi Pro card that I have setup to dump all images from my camera to a "watched" folder which is then imported into LR automatically. Unfortunately, auto import doesn't solve the issue for me, so I am back to doing the same old import routine I had done before which is tethering the camera back up via USB (or popping out the card and mounting it instead) and use the regular import feature.
I realize a lot of the design impetus for auto import is around tethered usage, where a photographer may want to see the images as fast as possible, but why would Adobe cripple the auto import functionality deliberately. Give the auto import the same functionality as the regular import and let the customers decide which works best for their setup. Geez!!
~David

I believe I watched a tutorial that indicated that Lightroom now downloads the raw files first and then does the conversion. This speeds up the download process and enables you to go back to my room to do other work more quickly. I cannot comment on the speed of the conversion because I don't convert to DNG. But my thoughts are that 700 raw files will take some time to convert.

Disable auto update

Hi
I have a couple of databases running on Azure SQL. They all are the Basis Edition.
I'm experiencing that two of these databases keep being upgraded to Web Edition. When I scale them down to basis edition or even Standard S1 edition, one of them gets auto scaled to Web Edition.
I don't know why this occours and I would like to have it stopped. I'm not sure as to whether there is a disable auto update functionality at manage.windowsazure.com. Neither am I sure if there is some setting in my ASP.NET Web.Config that will do the trick.
Help would be appreaciated.

Hi adksmm,
Usually, in SQL Azure database platform, we can change service tiers using Azure Management Portal, PowerShell, or T-SQL statement, or REST API . If you want to modify a database via T-SQL statement in SQL
Azure database, you must be connected to the master database to alter a database. If MAXSIZE is set to a value of 1 GB or 5 GB and EDITION is not specified, the database edition will automatically be set to Web Edition. For more information,
see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff394109.aspx
If you choose downgrade to a lower service tier via Azure Management Portal, you need to manually change the edition options, performance level via GUI. In addition, if you can write Azure PowerShell command to
specify the service tier, the performance level, and the maximum size for the database. However, there is no auto update functionality or option for you disabling them at SQL Azure database platform. For more information about changing
database service tiers and performance levels, you can revies the following article.

Cannot disable Auto Tone on import of PSD files - ruins edits !!

Hi - I am a LR 5 expert and we have an issue with the latest release that I need to overcome or it is unusable.    Please direct this to an expert level support person as I have already networked around and have not been able to resolve this issue.    The issue is consistent with other users as well - we have tried this on several computers and the result is the same.     It is possible that is pilot error but I doubt it - we have disabled apply auto tone everywhere we could find it...
I believe this is a serious bug in the way LR handles files on import - and I am also hoping there is an immediate work-around as the issue has TRIPLED our workflow time.
Example #1   -   Edit DNG - Export as PSD with "add to catalog" checked - LR exports the file and then imports the PSD,   but in doing so applies auto tone and destroys all the edits. The re-imported images are too bright and too contrasty.       Auto tone on import IS disabled.
We tried to work around the issue by trying to edit outside LR and re-importing but that does not work either -SAME RESULT !
Example #2 -   Edit DNG files, export to PSD, do not check "add to catalog" - make the edits needed in Photoshop, then import using "add" and LR applies Auto Tone once again destroying all edits.      You can actually watch the auto tone being applied to the thumbs as it imports them. - they get brighter.
In all cases the edited images end up too bright and too contrasty and are otherwise unusable.        Our workaround is to export to PSD, edit in photoshop, then use Photoshop's   scripts to produce the final images and leave the PSD files out of the catalog - this has added a TON of time to our workflow and has corrupted our file management - UNACCEPTABLE !!
We have also tried reading the external meta data option - same result - bright files.
Please let us know how we completely disable auto tone on import and fix this issue it is a deal breaker for using this version.   We are using LR 5.6
Thanks, Mark
Head Janitor, 6IXGUN.COM

Looks like we solved our own problem -   either edit or delete the preferences files and restart lightroom. If you delete it, it will of course wipe our your template settings, etc but that was far less of a hassle than not being able to use LR with PSD / exporting. We were able to make a simple edit and it was fixed.   Also make sure you have unchecked "apply auto tone" in the >preferences>presets   dialog box - we did not have it checked but it WAS enabled in the plist file.       I would definitely consider this a bug - the issue was not present in the last version of LR, it was introduced upon installing 5.6.

Disable theMail user to re-enable the auto complete function in Composing.

Hi Just wondering if anyone knows of a way of disabling the auto-complete function of the Addressing section under Composing in Mails preferences? To many company emails are being sent to the wrong recipients.
I have changed everyones preferences and used ARD to push out the updated preference, but as the user can just switch it back on, its not very helpful. I need a way of locking down the preference?
Any help appreciated..
Thanks

Solved.. I just added the preference setting to to the Library/Preferences/ for Mail and it over rides the users... I might try this on other applications...

How do I find "Tools" so I can disable the auto complete function?

I was told that to disable to auto complete function, I had to click on Tools. I can't find "Tools". How do I get there?

Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
Use "Firefox > Options" instead of "Tools > Options" if the menu bar is hidden.
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history" : "Remember search and form history"

Auto import, how to prevent LR from jumping to new pictures

Hi,
I would like to use my Nikon D700 together with the WT-4 to send pictures automatically to my laptop on events.
The pictures appear on the laptop's hard drive on a folder that is watched by LR's auto import feature.
Then my assistant would be at the laptop printing these pictures for customers to buy.
However, while testing this I cannot seem to disable Lightroom always jumping back to the latest imported pictures.
This is very annoying, because my assistant has to display the pictures to the customers, so she would be showing some pictures to a customer, and suddenly when I snap a new shot, the laptop jumps to the new picture and my assistant has to go hunting for that customers pictures again...
Is there some way to disable this?
Or am I taking the wrong approach to this?
I could off course disable the auto-import but in that case my assistant would have to go to the import screen every once in a while, which is also not ideal.
Thanks for any help!

I don't know a way to disable this.
