How do I stop holiday tunes from being played randomly from my library?

All my Christma tunes keep being played when I am listening to my library of music on shuffle/random. Is there a way to move them out of te library so this does not keep happening? It's weird to be listening to these songs when it's not Christmas yet!

Put them all into one playlist.
Select all the songs, right click - get info.
Select the Options tab and tick Skip when shuffling

I received an iPod touch 5th for my birthday. I currently share an iTunes account with my sister. My parents want us to have separate account now that my sister is in college.

How do I stop i-tunes from changing the genres for my songs without my consent?

Lately, itunes has been taking the genres I've set for my songs and changing them without my consent or say so. I change them back to what I want, i-tunes changes it back to what it wants, etc..
For example, I might list something as "Rock", but i-tunes decides it's "Pop" or "Alternate Rock" and edits my file's meta-data unilaterally. I might decide I want a category called "Christmas Music", but i-tunes decides the genre is "Holiday Music". I even have a few songs labeled "Urban", and i-tunes tries to change them to "Hip-Hop/Rap" or "Rap/Hip-hope". I took a lot of time with my large music collection to get this stuff exactly the way I wanted it- simplified. I-tunes is screwing it up.
This is *my* music. I even bought it all legally on a limited budget. I get to decide what genre I want it listed as.
Is there a setting or something I can change to get i-tunes to stop messing my music genre data? Or do I have to find a new music player?
I've got a long suffering ipod classic I was thinking of replacing at some point, but I may leave the i-tunes ecosystem entirely over this instead. To make things worse, my ipod with it's troubled syncing and broken buttons now has to deal with constantly recopying files with new genres every time I sync and itunes or I have changed something in our constant man versus machine battle- just try have hundreds of songs recopied each time without an error on something that barely can handle normal syncing after reconnecting 10 times or so every sync because it doesn't take the first 9 times.
I don't want to fight my music player. I just want the thing to work and do what I instruct it to do. Either that or I'm going to have to rename it "HAL" and start calling myself "Dave" ala 2001: A Space Odessy. Because this thing seems to be turning on me.

Ugh. I thought I was exagerating when I said song name changes were next. Apparently, I was literally correct. I haven't seen it yet personally, but Tooltomus says he has.
I thought the genre changes had stopped, only to see that they'd started up again a few minutes ago. This is getting really old really fast.
Again, why does Apple seem to think it can do whatever it wants to our bought and paid for music without our permission? This isn't about interface changes or whatever, which are all well within their rights, but to actually alter our files themselves without asking or even notifying us. They've got to be kidding... Isn't there some way to turn this off?
Why are they doing this? What's the point of it? Is it intentional or some kind of bug? Is anyone from Apple going to bother to even tell us?
I feel like I had some great music software and a great music player. I've used them for hours every day for years. I really love smart playlists and a whole bunch of features. It's very upsetting to see them go in this direction.
You know, record companies and music sellers have been pushing the idea of legally purchased files for years, saying it's just the same as CDs or whatever. And I've been dutifully buying my files this whole time from various legal sellers instead of pirating them. And now they're basically doing the equivalent of breaking into my home and messing around with my CDs- scrobbling all over the covers and album booklets, etc..
Why even have a genre setting the user can change if the program is going to keep overriding it and change genres? Why even have a song setting the user can change if the program is going to keep overriding it and change song titles? What happens when the program gets something wrong?
Anyone know how to turn this off? Would going back to itunes 10 help or is this coming from the server to every version of itunes? Is there other music player software that will leave my music alone that will preserve my playcounts, ratings, playlists, last played, and so on and so forth, and support syncing to my ipod? Can I somehow cut itunes off from contacting apple's servers to look up information and make these changes?

How can I stop i-Tunes from splitting songs from a CD or file that is copied into i-Tunes? This is quite inconvenient to hadle my library.

The separate grups of songs from same album add to the album contents. i-Tunes didn´t use to do this until when the format was "improved" a few months ago.
No good news. It is very difficult to manage and sync the albums, not the songs.

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

How do I stop I-Tunes from losing my album art?

I-Tunes is losing the album art that I pasted into the song files. Sometimes it loses it for the entire album, sometimes for a few songs of the album and sometimes for none of the songs.
I can't figure out what is going on, but I spent a great deal of time to copy art to my files only to keep losing them. The only common thread I can find is that when my art is lost, I get a string of numbers in the comment section.
Windows XP Pro

Looking at my files, I noticed a few trends on the songs that lose the album art vs the songs that keep the album art.
1) I only seem to have problems with losing the art on songs that have an ID3 tag of 2.3.
2) An ID3 tag of 2.2 seems to work with the album art. In fact, when I have some songs in 2.2 and some in 2.3, the art is only lost on those with the 2.3 tag.
3) If you have two different tags, you can remove the ID3 tag, then go back and edit it to be 2.2. Then add the art, so far that has worked to keep the art.
4) If I can't change the id3 tag, then I just convert the file to MP3 again and it saves it with a 2.2 tag
5) Losing the album art is not an issue with the 6.01.05 version, since I have the 6.01.03 version and had that issue.
6) Not sure if this works in keeping the second number of the track info, since I was not keeping that data.
I'm going to try this on a couple of hundred songs or so, then see what happens over the next week or so. If it sticks, then I'll go back to saving the album art.

how do i stop my itunes from changing the location of my itunes media. i have it saved on a external HD and it keeps changing back to my local drive with out being told

No, an external drive will not always be mounted. If the drive goes to sleep, it can unmount, or it may unmount for other reasons. As Chris said, confim that the drive is mounted and active before launching iTunes.

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

Change the password for your AppleID you used to set up iMessaging, and do not tell them the password. Tell them to get their own AppleIDs for use with their own iMessage accounts.

SOLUTION FOR UNREAD COMCAST MAIL...so far, so good
I went to Comcast.net and created a folder titled "Archive 10-2-13" and then went back into my inbox on the site and clicked the 'select all' box at the top of the email page. I could only see what would fit on my screen, but figured out that if I scrolled ALL the way to the very end (which was a l-o-n-g time for 30,000 emails) and then clicked "move to' at the top of the page and chose "Archive 10-2-13"..all my mail went there and no longer comes up as unread on my iPhone.
I don't know if this will work for other POP accounts (Hotmail, etc.) but HALLELUJAH! I have ZERO unread email messages showing!

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
Bob
