How can I stop Compulations CDs from being broken up into multiple different Albums when imported into Itunes?

I am currently using Itunes 10.6.1.7. When I attempt to import my CDs, any that are Compulation Cds (with multiple artists), the CDs aren't being imported into the same folder and are broken into multiple listing in my Itunes library.
How can change this so that they are imported only by Album?

I think even using Get Info may not reveal the change, though it is possible the behaviour has altered since I last tested it. Playing or updating the tracks location in a script such as UpdateTagInfo seems to get iTunes to re-evaluate the tag.
Assuming WMP is involved it may be best to make the necessary settings adjustments to prevent further changes, use the script to get all of the background changes exposed within iTunes, then correct as you see fit. Alternatively I do have another script called ExportImport that could be used to back up the current state of your tags (you should temporarily rename the media folder during the export phase), after which you would then run UpdateTagInfo and then use ExplortImport in its import mode to restore the corrupted data.

Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID. If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

How can I stop my Apps from being automatically updated on my iPad2?

How can I stopy my Apps from being automatically updated on my iPad2? I have an extremely slow wi-fi at work and my iPad Apps appear to be frozen as they are waiting to be updated. Help!

In iTunes use the File menu "Transfer purchases from..." item. Ordinarily you will get a warning to do this before an update. Presumably your computer is authorized to use your account and it is the computer to which you normally sync your iPod?

How can I stop my contacts from being listed twice in my contact list?

How can I stop contacts in my address book from being listed twice?

That usually happens if you sync your contacts with both a supported application on your computer and over the air with Exchange or iCloud. You do one or the other, not both at the same time. You need to provide more info in order to suggest a solution.

When I access Yahoo Mail through Firefox, as soon as Yahoo mail opens, my userid and password have already been entered. I do not want this to happen since other people use this computer. How can I stop this? this does not happen when I access through Internet Explorer.

It looks like your password is stored in the password manager. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/make-firefox-remember-usernames-and-passwords?s=remembering+passwords&as=s#w_viewing-and-deleting-passwords Viewing and Deleting passwords].

How can I stop sound track from being divided when adding clips to other tracks in PrE12?

The situation:
I have a project with several minutes of video clips on the timeline (expert view) in "Video 1/Audio 1." There is also music on the sound track (below the empty "Narration" track).
Any time I make an edit to the Video 1 track, PRE cuts the Sound Track. (Note that this is not the Audio 1 track, it's the sound track which is two tracks away.) If I insert a clip, the Sound Track is cut and left with a gap. Same if I do a FreezeFrame insert. This is bad enough (make ten insertions, have the Sound Track chopped into ten separate pieces), but it gets worse: when I try to slide the Sound Track pieces back together, the Video 1 clips will be moved around.
This appears to be a major bug but I'm hoping there is a simple way to deal with it.
Here's what the Manual (p.71) has to say about it (not much).
"When you insert a clip into the Expert view timeline, adjacent clips on all tracks shift to accommodate the new clip. By shifting all clips together, the audio and video of the existing clips remain in sync."
* The question here is, adjacent to what? The Sound Track is a continuous music clip of many minutes; it is alone on the Track, and there is nothing on the track above it (Narration track). So it's not adjacent to anything, and yet it is being chopped up.
The Manual continues:
"Sometimes, you don’t want all clips to shift with each insertion. For example, when you add background music that superimposes the entire movie, you don’t want clips to shift."
*They got that right, but they don't say anything about how to prevent it.
This next makes no sense at all:
"To shift specific clips togather, press the Alt key as you insert. At a time, you can shift specific clips simultaneously on a maximum of two tracks. These include the track receiving the insertion and the track containing the linked audio or video (if any). The affected tracks shift together, remaining aligned. The clips on other tracks are unaffected."
*There is no mention of how to specify what clips would be shifted, or not.
I'm not dealing with linked clips. And they tell me how to shift clips (sort of) but nothing about how to stop clips from being cut up and shifted. This all makes it very hard to create a coordinated product.
Any suggestions or solutions will be much appreciated.

Thanks, ATR,
I wll try this--but I still am unclear on how to do what the Manual says is possible: select clips on another track that WILL be moved, if I so desire, so as to remain synched to the main Video track.
UPDATE:
In the case of inserting Freeze Frame, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
1. Put Video on Vid1 track
2. Put Music on Sound Track
3. Ran a few seconds of Vid
4. Stopped Vid, selected Freeze Frame
5. Held down Ctrl key while clicking "Insert in Movie" also tried with holding down Alt key.
Result: a 3 second still was inserted int the Vid1 track. A corresponding gap was created in the Sound Track.
6. Slid the final part of the Sound Track to the left along the timeline to re-connect it to the next segment created by the above process.
Result: the video following the final Freeze Frame was pushed to the right end of Video1 track.
7. Slid the Sound Track all the way to the left.
Result: the entire Video 1 Track contents were pushed to the right and divided in pieces.
I documented each step with screen shots which I can send if you want them and if I can figure out how to do it.
UPDATE #2
In the case of inserting a video clip to the Timeline, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
1. Locate video in Project Assets
2a. R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), hold down Ctrl, click Insert to Timeline.
Result: Vid clip is inserted on Video 1 track, Sound Track is separated with a corresponding gap.
2b. R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), push Alt
Result: pull-down menu disappears as soon as Alt is pushed down.
I can stil drag the Vid clip but it's one more manual step...I love shortcuts!!

How can i stop attached photos from being in the email body?

I try to send pics often to places for printing and icloud puts them into the body of the email instead of as an attachment. THis can be quite annoying. Advice pleas, Thank Carol

When sending from your Mac, when composing the email click on Attach. In the choose file dialoge, try checking the box that says "Send Windows Friendly Attachments". From you iOS device, this happens automatically.
The message may still look as if the photo is embedded rather than attached, but on a Windows computer it will appear as an attachment. (On a Mac it will appear to be embedded but the attachment can be saved by control-clicking on the image.)

How can I stop the cursor from being dragged outside the bounds of an intensity graph in LV 7.1?

Currently, an intensity graph cursor can be dragged outside the graph bounds, and the cursor position continues to change as if the graph had no bounds.

You can maintain the cursor (and the graph scales...) between defined boundaries programmatically, using an attribute node. Not a very elegant solution, since there is some quivering. See the example.vi.
Of course, if the user need to modify the scales (zoom in/out...), there will be some additional work ! :-)
Hope this help.

How can I stop my screen from going on and off when I play games ?

HOw can I stop my screen from going on and off all the time when I touch it.

Maybe it is a hardware problem, but you will not know that unless you start eliminating all possible software issues. Try this. Close all apps in the recents tray and reboot your iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

How can i stop internet media from flooding elements 6?

how can I stop elements 6 from constantly importing internet photos and flooding my memory?

PSE isn't importing photos off the internet, but it could be importing photos from your hard drive that are being placed there as you browse the internet.
It's likely that you've told PSE to import all new photos on your hard drive using the Watched Folders mechanism.
In the Organizer, go to File > Watch Folders...
See the list of folders PSE is currently watching.
Check the setting near the bottom of the dialog as to what PSE should do when it finds new images in the folders it is watching.
Make any necessary changes to have it do what you want it to do.
Cheers

If you are printing via a Windows shared printer and it is the Windows user account that you are being prompted for then you can save this in the Keychain, as shown below.

It should only do that if you hold down the T key at startup. Otherwise the PRAM battery is probably near death, or the T key needs to be cleaned so it doesn't think it is being held down. To clean the keyboard properly, you will probably need to bring it in for service.
