How can I disable CDDB function when importing CD's?

I have iTunes 6, and for some reason, when I rip my audiobook CD's, the CDDB database is automatically being accessed and filling in the data, which is often sloppy and wrong for audiobooks.
In the previous version, it was not finding data for audiobooks, even though it did automatically find it for music CD's.
I would like to shut the CDDB function off while importing audiobooks, but I cannot find the option to do so. Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks for the reply, Max H...that was my first thought, but I wanted to avoid doing THAT....
What I did do was insert the disk while holding down the OPTION key...and...now it isn't finding anything! (I know, bizarre, but this is the way I approach things on the Mac...)
I just tested this, and...pressing the OPTION key DOES do something. It apparently toggles something, but what I do not know. I pressed it while inserting the CD, and...voila-it picked up titles from a database. I put the next one in while pressing OPTION, and...it said it couldn't find a match. I did it with the next one, and...It found the titles.

  • How can we disable info area when we're opening query ??

    Dear All,
    It's regarding authorization in query designer.
    I've already created roles .. So if user's opening the query, they can see their authorized query in roles group.
    But ..
    When they're opening the query, they also can search the query by info-area. When they search the query by info-area, they can see all query.
    My question is:
    1. How can we disable the feature to seek the report by info-area ??
    2. Do you know what the authorization is for maintaining part ??
    Regards,
    Niel.

    Hi Niel
    You can try the S_RS_FOLD authorization object.
    Definition
    With this authorization object, you can deactivate the general view of the 'InfoArea' folder. Then only the favorites and roles appear in the BEx open dialog for queries. The view of the InfoAreas is hidden.
    Defined fields
    The object contains a field:
    SUP_FOLDER:  Hide the file view if the field is set to 'True' ('X'). If both 'True' and 'False' is selected ('All Values'), the value 'False' is valid, meaning that the 'InfoAreas' file is not hidden.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards

  • How can I disable toolbar features when opening a file in a browser?

    Hi,
        I am trying to create an application that loads a pdf in a browser and want to disable certain toolbar features so that the user is incapable of ever seeing them. I know how to do this manually by going to the toolbar settings, but the user can easily enable them as well doing the same process. How can I code this to enable and disable features of adobe reader without having to change the registry keys or by doing them manually? Is there a way to do this? Is there a command that I can type in the command prompt to do this? I am working in C++ on a windows app.
    Basically, I am asking how to edit any/all Edit>Preferences by coding it or through command prompt when launching the pdf without having to do it manually.
        Much help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    If you are using URLConnection
    myURLConnection.setRequestProperty("pragma:","no-cache"Actually, the 'pragma' header is an HTP 1.0 (old) concept. The one for HTTP 1.1 is 'Cache-Control'. That said, you should always use both to support old/new browsers.
    You could also use the following headers :
    Expires, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate etc...
    You could also implement a getLastModified() method in your servlet, which returns the time (as a long) at which the content was last changed. The server could then intercept 'If-Modified-Since' requests.
    Keep in mind that, because of several notorious browser bugs ( http://www.web-caching.com/browserbugs.html ), it can be difficult to effectively turn off caching across the board.

  • How can I 'join' audio tracks when importing audio book?

    HELP!!
    In the latest version of iTunes, 11.0.1, I can't find the 'JOIN Tracks' button which is needed when importing an audio CD to keep each disc treated as one book instead of storing each chapter as a separte entry.  Without this, I can't find a way to keep the chapters to play in proper order as each CD, starts with chapter 01. 
    Thank you for your help

    Join CD tracks
    When you import songs from a CD into iTunes, you can group songs so they always play together (even when you’re shuffling songs).
    Insert an audio CD into your computer’s CD or DVD drive, and click No in the window that appears.
    When the songs on the CD appear in the iTunes window, hold down the Shift key to select the ones you want to join.
    Click near the top-right of the iTunes window, and choose Join CD Tracks.

  • How can I fix choppy playback when importing AND exporting in iMovie 9.0.4?

    I recently updated my system to OS Lion and also upgraded to the new iMovie 9.0.4. Now, the movies I import into iMovie (as .Mov, M4v, etc) are playing choppy when edited in the iMovie viewer AND playing choppy after exported. My computer was purchased NEW, its just over a year old. Any advice would help!

    Most ISP's have a file size limit for email attachments and a five minute video is just too much for most of them.
    In order to compress the video enough to fit as an attachment you would have to reduce its dimensions (postage stamp size) and decrease the data rate (adds artifacts). Not practical.
    A better method would be to upload the file to a server and just share the URL via email. Mobile Me (if you're a member).
    You can also share very large files via iChat.
    There are also file "sharing" services (Google) that you can use.

  • How Can I disable page scrolling when creating an interactive PDF using InDesign?

    I'm attempting to create an interactive PDF portfolio with links from the homepage to gallery pages and projects etc, but it seems useless if I can't stop the PDF pages from scrolling? Can anyone help?
    I have InDesign CS5.5 and Adobe Acrobat Pro.
    Thanks,
    Elizabeth

    scrolling through the pages
    There is nothing you can do to prevent a viewer from navigating on their own through a PDF. One method would be to have the PDF open in Full Screen mode, this hides the navigation tab. But a viewer can use their arrow keys to go page to page, ignoring the links within the PDF. And the viewer can hit the esc key to go back to normal view. Another option would be to use a swf export, indstead of pdf, but seriously depends on how you plan to distribute this portfolio.

  • OTM - How can I sort the requirements when importing from CSV ?

    Hi,
    I am able to upload requirements into OTM, in a tree structure.
    But even though I am giving a "ViewOrder" column in my .xls/.csv file, the requirements do not get uploaded in the same order.
    Whats happening is, when the xls/csv is converted to xml, the vieworder tag isnt included, and in turn doesnt get posted to DB either.
    I also tried modifying a previously saved mapping file, by manually adding ViewOrder=ViewOrder and saving it.
    On selection it only accept sheets containing the column, but still it gets discarded during conversion.
    Is there any way to expand the set of required fields during upload, to include View Order?
    Is there any other way to ensure that the excel data gets uploaded in the same order as listed?

    Have you explored the options in the View -> Sort Photos menu?
    Regards

  • How can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air?

    how can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air? i dont know my imessages to pop up on my laptop when it turns on. But i dont want to disable imessage totally on my macbook.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    First of all, check that Messages is closed when you turn off your MacBook. This is so important because, by default, OS X will reopen all opened apps the next time you start your Mac.
    Apart from that, when you go to  > Shut Down, or  > Restart, in the window you see to restart or turn off your MacBook, unmark "Reopen windows when logging back in". This will avoid that your Mac opens all opened apps the next time you start the MacBook, so Messages won't start automatically at startup

  • How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?

    How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?
    I have no intention of ever using Photos, in fact, having to abandon Aperture takes me one step close to moving back to Windows, but I digress.
    I just want to NOT have to kill the Photos app every time I plug in my phone.
    Thanks.

    I am still seeing the option Image Capture, like shown in the screenshot that Rysz posted.   But it is another example of the hide-and-seek Apple likes to play with us.
    The option has to be set for each device individually. With the device connected to USB, you have to click the tiny disclosure triangle in the lower left corner of the sidebar to reveal the option.
    I was perfectly happy with the program I paid for (Aperture), and now to maintain the functionality I have to pay for another application (LightRoom) to get the functionality that I paid for in Aperture.
    Aperture 3.6 is working well with Yosemite. I will use it, as long as I have a Mac, that will run Yosemite or a compatible system.
    Have you looked at Capture One?  It looks much more similar to Aperture than Lightroom.
