How Can I Stop My Music Folder From Being Created...

I have installed and successfully migrated my iTunes to a NAS...the problem is that everytime I start iTunes it recreates the My Music folder on my local hard drive...as (a) I no longer need or want this folder and (b) I find it both annoying and potentially confusing that ut appears, is there any way to stop it from being recreated time after time...
Thanks so much...

Must be missing something in description. My Music folder is from Windows not iTunes. iTunes places its content in iTunes folder inside My Music folder. As for not using the folder I don't think you can. The iTunes library file(itl, xml) are put into iTunes folder inside My Music folder.

  • How can I stop the E:/ folder from popping up?

    I would like to know how I can stop the E:/ folder from popping up everytime I perform an action e.g. transfering songs, and deleting songs from library.

    This is likely due to an extension. For example, the Web Developer extension has a setting to open the error console, and some mouse gesture extensions have been known to open the error console.
    To track down what extension is causing this for you, follow the procedure in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

  • How to stop music folder from being created when changing media folder

    When I try to change the media folder location, a new "music" folder is created - how do I stop this from happening (I already have a music folder that I want it to default to, but when I try to select it, it creates another music sub folder)
    This is a new issue - I have been using itunes for years without ever having this problem...

    That's how itunes 9 works, now. The top-level folder is considered the "Media" folder and there are music, podcast, movie, audiobook, etc subfolders.
    Which is better in a way, since before itunes 9, everything was dumped in a music folder, even audiobooks that weren't music.

  • How can I stop the Downloads folder from constantly reappearing?

    Every time I open or restart Firefox 9, the Downloads folder in My Documents keeps recreating itself. I have downloads set to always ask me where to go, and I have absolutely no need of a special Downloads folder. How can I get FF to stop creating this folder? Annoying to have to delete it every time - and I like FF to do what I tell it to.

    See:

  • HT4191 how can I stop my iphone Notes from being moved into a folder in my yahoo email account?

    My iPhone 4 keeps losing my notes?  I learned thru this forum they get moved into a folder in my email account.  Why is this happening?  It is not where I want them.  Is there a limit to how many notes you have?  I only had about 10 different 1-page notes.

    Hello,
    I had this same issue but then I figured out how to fix it. You can use the following steps:
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Press your Yahoo! e-mail > Notes: Off
    I hope this helps!

  • Can I stop one specific folder from being opened by anyone but me?

    I have private files in a folder that is contained within the home folder on my Macbook Pro. I want to lock that folder so that only I can access it. But I do not need to lock any of the other folders on the Mac.
    How do I do this?

    If you just log out of your account, they won't have access to the folder. However, if you created the folder within the root of the home folder, then the permissions allow others to see into it.
    You can either move it inside one of the protected folders inside your home folder (Documents, Music, Pictures, Movies, Desktop, Library), or change the permissions on the folder. It should be set for you to read/write and everyone No Access.
    If you let everyone into your account, then the only way would be to create an Encrypted Disk Image which you store the folder on. Use Disk Utility to create an Encrypted Sparse Image and set a size that will work. Set an encryption algorithm and same the image. Mount it, don't check the box to save the password to your keychain, copy the folder into it and eject the mounted disk image. Open it and make sure you have everything and then delete the original folder.

  • I've update my music using an external disk; now I uploaded agin the music  but it doesn't appear in Itunes. How can I synchronize the music folder with Itunes?

    I've managed my music downloading and uploading it from an external disk; I put the music into the Finder MUSIC folder and copyed it into Itubìnes but it does't appear. What Do I have to do? How can I synchronize the Musice Folder with Itunes?

    Chris, thanks for the reply.
    That's what I'm confused about. I did exactly what you said. I copied the entire music folder from the old computer and put it in the music folder on the new computer. I've tried that two or three times now. And, I've checked, and all of the files are there (that's what I meant by 'clicking on Itunes Media'--when I click on the iTunes media folder in music/itunes in Finder, all of the files are there). But, when I open iTunes, nothing shows up--no movies, no music, no tv shows. It seems like it should be so simple, but it won't work for me.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks so much.

  • 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 delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

    how can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

    Hey Ravengirlaa,
    Great question! The answer is going to depend on how the photos were originally organized:
    A) The albums were synced to your iPhone from iTunes
    B) The albums were manually created on your iPhone from photos in the Camera Roll
    The following excerpt would apply for situation B:
    excerpt from page 71 of the iPhone User Guide - http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    If the photos were synced from your computer, please refer to this article (section "To delete photos and videos from your device"):

    Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library.  Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists.  Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.
    FAQ: Why iTunes Match Can Not Be Used as a Backup - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112
    Using Match as a backup for iTunes - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17039436#17039436
    In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.
