How do I turn OFF feature that snaps list to show "now playing"?

While I'm working on my large song list, while listening to music, when the song ends, it snaps my song list up to the current song playing. So every song I have to scroll back to the area of my list I was working one/looking at! It's such a huge waste of my time, I'm searching for a new music player. iTunes seems more concerned with syncing my stuff, and is no longer a good music player and database organizer.
I've been using iTunes since it was a shareware app called SoundJamMP (where MP meant: Music Player) iTunes seems to have forgotten it's roots.

If anyone shares this frustration, and has a better way for me to phrase my question, I'm all for help re-asking this in different wording. Thanks for reading.

  • Help turning off feature that opens all pages and numbers docs.

    How can I turn off feature that opens all numbers and pages documents each time I open the respective program?

    What version of OS X are you using? That information will help in providing a specific solution.
    If you close all documents before quitting Numbers or Pages, you won't have them reopening when you launch the app again. You can quickly close all open windows in an application by typing ⌘ ⌥ W (Command + Option + W) or hold down the Option/alt key while clicking the red close button.
    Other things you can do to turn off this resume feature:
    In Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks you can set System Preferences > General to close windows when quitting an application.
    Try Mountain Tweaks The option to turn off resume is at the bottom of the left-hand column under Lion. This solution does not work in Mavericks.

  • How can I turn off the Ipod 5g speaker so it just plays through the headphones?

    How can I turn off the Ipod 5g speaker so that it just plays through the headphones?

    First make sure your headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning no silver from the headphones plug can still be seen.
    If that's not the issue, try a hard reset of the Nano.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • How can I turn off Ken Berns effect in slide shows

    How can I turn off Ken Berns effect as the default in Aperture slide shows.

    Depending on what theme you choose (this would be for the "Classic" theme), it should be under the "Crop" setting, which will be a choice in Default Settings when you're in your slideshow, on the right side of the window. For crop choose "Fit in Frame" or "Fill Frame" as opposed to "Ken Burns." You can also do this for individual slides, turn it on or off...
    Hope that helps.

  • How do I turn off notifications that keep interrupting my work!?

    Firefox 20.0 has added an infuriating feature that causes notification windows to pop up alerting me to whatever it feels like whenever it feels like. This telemarketing-style interruption is absolutely pointless and 100% in my way, and there HAS to be a way to disable it. Please, someone help! I don't want to have to drop Firefox—I've dealt with all kinds of ridiculous changes over the years—but I can't live with these interruptions.
    I'm using Mac OS X 10.8.2.
    Also, if anyone knows how to turn off that animated downloading arrow, that would be great, too.

    I had the same problem after the last update (Firefox 22). Firefox would show a notification after completing a download. I don't know why the developers would begin such a feature without providing a way to disable in preferences. Anyhow, my solution was to go into about:config and change '''browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete''' from true to false.
    I think this may be a solution for the OP. The conversation seems to have gotten sidetracked to the social feature, but SunSpirit13 also mentions the download arrow, which makes me think s(he) was referring to download alerts.

  • How can I turn off alert that Safari downloaded this application?

    A simple question, with what I'm sure will be a simple answer, but I just can't work it out. I have only just bought an iMac, running Leopard. Using Safari, I downloaded Firefox. Now every time I open Firefox, I receive an alert that says something like "You are about to open Firefox which is an application Safari downloaded from the internet". Usually with these sort of alerts there's a box that you can check that says "don't remind me about this again", but not so in this case.
    Where do I go, please, to turn off this alert. As friendly as it is, I don't feel I need to be reminded that I downloaded this application from the internet via Safari, every time I open it up...
    Many thanks.

    Security.
    You can check a box in Safari preferences to open "Safe" files after downloading but Applications are not one of them.

  • How can I turn off apps that automatically sync?

    Whenever I try to move music from itunes to my ipad mini it says it is over memory.  I can see the music on the ipad but it is grey and will not play.  I have tried to delete apps (which are taking up most of my memory) I do not want but it keeps putting them back on.  I have turned off the 'sync automatically' button on the preferences and devices in itunes.  I have unclicked the 'will install' on the apps section on itunes.  I have synced repeatidly and whenever I click the sync button the things I have just clicked on suddenly become 'will install' again. 
    I only want to move some music across from itunes but it won't even let me do that. 
    PLEASE HELP I AM GOING CRAZY!!

    Yes i did that, but when i went back to my home screen all the applications that i've choose to not using data just automatically activate themselves.... ><

  • How do you turn off the letters from the password showing as you type them?

    I have been trying to use my ipad for presentations and other expanded collaborative uses where my screen is public. Unfortunately, this is hindered because the letters of the password show as letters when the password is being typed in.  It is not reasonable to constantly go into the settings and turn passwords on and off when needing to interactively use the ipad in a collaborative setting.  How is this feature turned off?  Why is there in the first place?  Is there a plan to fix it with the next update.

    The "more like this" window gave me the answers.  No current ability to turn off.  I've submitted a request to add this feature. 

  • How do I turn off auto numbering of lists?

    I've tried unselecting all boxes in the preferences / auto correction menu and Pages still tries to add numbers or letters to items.

    I just figured out one neat trick. If you don't want the next line of your text to be numbered in your document, hit "Control-Enter" instead of "Enter" when you create a new line. It will give you a blank line to work with.

    How do I turn off the feature that allows the duplication of App downloads to more than one phone? As in my wife downloads an app and I get a dulpicate download on my phone.

    To disable that feature it will depend on whether or not you sync everything in the cloud using Apple's iCloud, OR if you both use the same desktop/laptop computer with iTunes. Here is a link to the Apple support page in regards to the automatic download feature included with your iPhone and corresponding softwares such as iTunes.

  • How do I turn off the automatic check for update on opening Firefox? I want to turn off that "what's new" page.

    How do I turn off that automatic update that always brings me to the "what's new" web page? It was interesting the first time, but now it is just an irritation. I can check for updates on my own, so I want to turn off this feature. It just started up when I upgraded to Firefox 5. I can't find a place to stop it from checking and bringing me to that web page. Also, I can't stop it from checking add-ons every single time I open the browser.

    did you check the suggestions mentioned in the article i posted in my previous post ??
