How can I stop iTunes in Windows 7 from coming to front when I am importing by inserting a CD?

I've set iTunes (latest version as of this message) to "Import CD and eject" because I'm batch importing my CD collection.
There's a delay of several seconds between when I insert a CD (after the last one was ejected) and when iTunes begins importing the songs from the new CD. Sometimes, for reasons I don't understand, iTunes pops to the front to show the import is working. This is annoying (esp. when batch importing and trying to do work inbetween CD swaps).
Sometimes iTunes stays in the background and quietly imports, requesting to come to the front politely by blinking in the task bar. But sometimes it just pops up, while I'm typing an email (and my keystrokes seem to cancel the import). Anyone know how to keep iTunes polite? Maybe this is a Windows 7 bug?

My apologies...the version is 11.1.4.62 not as stated aboive in my problem description.  I'm trying again and it just finished syncing fine and my iPhone 5 is still connected to iTuns physcially with USB lightening cable and is displaying the iPhone icon top right.  I clicked on it and iTunes is now "hung' or  locked up.  Shows to be an active running application but can't get back to it so willl have to kill with task manager.  There is some kind of problem going on with the latest version of iTunes and Wndows 7 and 8.1 or something.  My iPhone 5 now has a new feature that it is now asking me if I "Trust" this computer.  iTunes just came "unhung" after several minutes while I was typing this. Now I am going to start the backup to this computer HP Winsows 8.1 and iTune 11.1.4.62 and see what happens.  Says it is Backing up Jerrys iPhone but the Barber Pole progress bar is not turning an iTunes is hung again and I cant get back to it from this page I am typing on.  Maybe it will eventually release as it did a moment ago.

  • How can I stop itunes password box from constantly popping up after ios 7 update?

    After ios7 update I am CONSTANTLY interrupted with the itunes pop up box for me to enter my password as if Im making a purchase when Im not. When I unlock my phone it pops up. When Im in the middle of playing a game it repeatedly happens. When Im on a social network it happens. If Im on a phone call it happens. If Im listening to my music Ive purchased through itunes it does it a lot! I can not figure out how to make it stop. I tried entering my password just to see if it would stop but it didnt. Its driving me crazy! How do I fix it?!?!

    No one has any advice?! Im begging! Its literally abt to make me take a sledgehammer to my phone! Lol

    How can I STOP iTunes from automatically trying to add podcasts to my iPod when I plug it in and sync it, so I can manage the files? I have already unchecked "Sync Podcasts" and "Automatically include,"yet EVERY time I sync it,it still transfers podcasts as the last step, and at other times randomly, when trying to just add some MP3's to a playlist, for example.  I can't seem to find any other option to uncheck, and can't find an answer from my so-far internet searching.

    erict, you blew me away with that suggestion! It was something so simple I couldnt believe I hadnt thought of it! But in the end it didn't work, which I was really surprised about. On Windows anytime anything was moved itunes was hoplessly lost, but on this mac it still kept up with everything. I tried renaming folders, moving folders, and even renaming moved folders but it still kept trying to import.
    I even went as far as deleting EVERYTHING i had moved to the Mac, which didnt really work. It still kept trying to import what wasnt there which made it continue to freeze up. However, after doing this it, the freezing was not nearly as bad. It gave me enough of a break to cancel it through the itunes dialog box at the top of the app. So in the end, thats all I really needed to do, only before I had deleted everything the freezing would not allow me to do it.
    So now Im reimporting everything again, only slowly, and only a few Artists at a time.

  • How can i stop iTunes from Auto rating my songs??

    How can i stop iTunes from auto rating my songs in my library?? I have my library very organized and 90% of the time when i listen to music i play "My Top Rated" Playlist on shuffle. The only time i give stars ratings to my songs is for my favourite songs which i give 5 star and every other song is just left with no stars. For some reason iTunes is giving songs i have never played or i dont like 5 Stars and rewining my playlists. I have tried erasing all the stars from my entire library and since doing this a week ago, again (for the 4th time in a year) having a library with not 1 song with any star ratings, all of a sudden i now have 329 random songs with 5 stars again??????
    This is really getting to me as i love my music and love iTunes and everything apple but seriously there has to be away to stop this so i can have my old playlists back!
    Thanks hope some one can help

    One reason itunes will start "at regular intervals" will be if you have an iphone that has sync via wifi enabled. I had the problem following an upgrade to iOS 5.

    If you don't have an icloud account, then icloud is not the thing that's popping up a window.
    If you are being asked to enter a password when accessing itunes, then the problem may be that you have purchased items (apps, songs, etc) on the device that were purchased using a different itunes account than the one you currently have defined on your device. 
    Purchased items are forever associated with the itunes account (the apple ID) that was used to make the purchase.  If you change the ID on the device, you won't be able to update any of them.  You'll have to purchase them again.

  • How can I stop iTunes from numbering ripped files?

    How can I stop iTunes 11.2.1 from automatically adding numbering before track titles when I rip files from a CD? I used to be able to do this generations of iTunes ago but later versions don't seem to offer an option to turn this off. All ideas, tips, suggestions and hints welcome.

    Thanks very much for your reply. I'm not ripping music but rather audiobook CDs which I then use Audiobook Builder to create audiobooks I can "read" on my iDevice. On the odd occasion iTunes will "recognize" the audiobook CD and offer to import metadata for it ... which is almost always incorrect. Thus, I usually decline the metadata import and enter the appropriate and correct metadata via Get Info. Then, when I import the files from the CD, iTunes automatically numbers each file ahead of the file title. I was previously able to disable this behavior but I can't find any way to do so in iTunes 11.2.1. Some have said TinkerTool used to provide this feature but no longer does. I don't know if TinkerTool has a Mavericks-compatible version - I'll have to check that out. If not, then I'm still trying to find a way to disable automatic track numbering in iTunes when ripping audiobook CDs. Thanks again for your reply ... I 'preciate it.

  • How can I stop iTunes from transferring purchased apps from iPad to computer?

    How can I stop iTunes from transferring purchased apps from iPad to my computer? I don't want them taking up space on my computer. iPad backups and apps on the cloud are enough to ensure my apps are backed up, so I don't understand why they need to be on iTunes too. I'm running Mavericks, iTunes 11.1.5 and iOS 7.0.6.

    There isn't an app for that!
    As far as I can tell there is no option to give you that control. It is worth noting that apps can be withdrawn from the store at any time. Should your device need restoring you need all the apps in your library to transfer to it before the app data can be successfully restored. Pulling that all down from the cloud would be time consuming.
    If space is becoming an issue you should consider moving the library to a bigger drive (which you should also backup to another).
    As a temporary measure you could try deleting some larger apps using Finder from within iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications while keeping the entries in your library. iTunes may complain during syncs that it cannot copy apps to the device because they cannot be found, but it should not clear them from the device. Test first on a single app that doesn't have any data that you would mind losing in case the behavior has changed from the last time I tested it.

  • How can i stop itunes creating playlists on itouch 5th generation

    Hi All
    Happy new year to everyone.
    I have a new iTouch 5th generation which I am trying to set up and sync etc.  One of the problems I have found is this:-
    Despite selecting in iTunes to Manually control the sync process so that I can choose which playlists are synced to the device, iTunes somehow managed to also sync playlists it created from my music.  Along with my own created playlists, were playlists for 90's music, recently played, classical, etc etc.  None of these playlists were created or chosen by me.
    How can I stop itunes creating and syncing these unwanted playlists.
    the iTouch is a 5th generation with IOS 8.1.2, : PC is running windows 8, itunes verion 12.0.1
    Many thanks

    Hi  - I never thought of using the WiFi.  Thanks.  I already have the 'manually manage music' checked  but now I need to get rid of most of the music.
    Let me look at the settings on my iPad. Okay I checked not to automatically sync.
    Brian, I do need to transfer PDF Files from my iMac to my iPad.  I suppose that using Wifi I can just drag and drop?  Using iTunes like I have been I just open Adobe on my iPad then use iTunes to drop the class files into the iPad.

    How can I keep iTunes (10.5) from randomly starting up, just out of the blue?  I have disabled wifi sync to my iPad
    Has anyone figured out how to stop this annoying behaviour?

    I am sorry, but the Windows OS is totally unfamiliar to me. I'm a Mac.
    I did Goggle the issue and there are a number of support articles about this error message on the Internet. It seems to be a problem in your OS but like I said, I am not Windows knowledgeable at all.
    You either have to reregister the Windows installer or reinstall it - if I am reading any of this correctly.

  • How can I stop mail on iPad from going to next message when deleting an email?

    How can I stop the mail app from moving to the next message when deleting an email?
    I like to keep messages as new until I can take action on them, but this just makes an unnecessary step.  I do not have this problem on my iPhone, but I am still running 5.0.1 on the phone and have the new iPad 5.1 software.

    Hi furiousbalancing,
    With regards to deleting messages in Mail, you may find the following portion of the following article helpful:
    To prevent the next message from being automatically selected (and marked as read), hold down the Option key when you delete a message.
    Mail (Mavericks): Delete messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14900
    You can also use Command-Shift-U to toggle a message between Read and Unread (command should be the same in Mavericks):
    Mail (Mountain Lion): Keyboard shortcuts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11679
    You can also close the Preview portion of the Mail window, which should then require you to double-click on a message to open it and have it show as read (it appears the double click on the seperator may no longer work in Mavericks, but you should still be able to drag it to make it disappear):

  • How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

    How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

    As long as you share that AppleID for iCloud, you cannot.  You are sharing a a single iCloud account and sync services.  The only thing you can do is get a second AppleID and use it with iCloud - you do not have to use that new AppleID for anything but iCloud (ie. you can still share an AppleID for iTunes and App store purchases).
    P.S. I am assuming you both want to sync your contacts with iCloud?

  • How can you stop iTunes splitting up a cd in the music library

    How can you stop iTunes splitting up a cd in the music library

    Try highlighting the tracks in iTunes, right-clicking and Getting Info, then marking them as Part of a compilation.
    If that doesn't take care of it, read Apple's document (where the pic came from) -> Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?
    WTH.

    How do I stop iTunes (10.7) from automatically launching upon restart?  "Open at Login" is NOT checked in the dock and I have removed the app from Login Items under Users/Groups.  I am using a MacBook version 10.7.5.  Thank you!

    Thanks for the response gakker, but I've double-checked the camera / iPhoto / Image Capture scenario, and I'm 100% positive it's got nothing to do with that.
    Plugging in my iPhone has no effect on anything related to this.
    The other thing I should have mentioned is that when iTunes on my Mac is NOT running, then nothing happens on my iPhone screen when I plug it in to my Mac. I only get the "Sync in progress" message when iTunes IS running.
    It's interesting though that you say you also get this "Sync in progress" message, albeit only for a second or two though.
    Can I just double-check something with you however... When you say:
    +"at no time was my iTunes playback interrupted"+
    do you mean the iTunes on your Mac? Because the problem I have is that the iPod-playback on my iPhone is interrupted.
    So can you clarify that for me, please? If you have music playing on your iPhone, and you then plug your iPhone into your Mac when iTunes is running on your Mac, does the music playback on the iPhone get interrupted?
