How to stop auto play on importing audio/video

I am so sorry to post this question. I've seen it many times around on internet, but it is driving me ABSOLUTELY MAD. After importing audio/video on iTunes (plus copy into iTunesLibrary), the file automatically starts playing. It is annoying me more and more, I can not seem to turn the function off. iTunes seems to be defaulted nowadays to start autoplay after importing music or video into iTunes~?
Please someone, where can I turn this function off????????????
thanx for your help. But honestly, with iTunes I don't expect there is a solution. I hope there will be good software available in future OS-versions.

Hey tt2 and Chris!
Uhm...you both talk aout the actual folder 'automatic add to iTunes'? So, have to look that up tomorrowmorning. It is an actual folder in my iTunes media folder???
I don't get it. I thought by checking the box in preferences (automatically add to iTunes) that it makes a copy of the file that I wanted to add and place it in my iTunes library. Then I throw away the original which I dragged into iTunes.
So, i understand that is not the way to add files?
But dragging into the folder 'automatically add to iTunes', does that mean that there are more than one copies of a file after adding?  Meaning...one in the 'automatically add to-folder' AND in the library? I only need one file....otherwise I wind up with several duplicates. Just one in iTunes library will do fine for me. There is backup elsewhere for files i need to keep....
But anyway...thanx for the tip.  Will try this tomorrow, search for the automatically add to-folder and let you know!

  • How to stop auto play to next song?

    I was wondering if there is a pref or option that will prevent iTunes from playing the next song on the list so that once the selected song is finished, iTunes will NOT play the next song? Thanks in advance for your help!

    The only way I know of is to uncheck all the tracks. Tunes will skip unchecked tracks, so if they're all unchecked, iTunes will play one and then stop. To uncheck all the tracks, control-click on any checkbox and it will select or unselect them all.

  • How do you stop auto play only go to next slide on click once published Version 7

    How do you stop auto play only go to next slide on click once published Version 7? I mean to stop the play slide bar moving down the bottom?

    Thank you, I already have click boxes and buttons on every slide - the slider at the bottom still automatically moves, it doesn't go to next slide until button or box is clicked. I want to stop it moving if possible?
    Update: looks like it does the same on the old versions - I'm assuming its the time set to play each slide. I will just even these up so the don't look so inconsistent.

  • TS1424 I had purchased a VIP subscription in starmakerstudios karaoke for a week. I don't know how to stop auto renewal. Even though I have deleted the app I am still being charged

    Hey people please help me with my problem.
    I purchased a VIP subscription for a week in starmakerstudios karaoke. I don't know how to stop auto renewal. Even though I have deleted the app, I'm still being charged $1.99 a week!
    Please help me out...

    Hi Gerald,
    Well, you're not alone. The question is why is this happening? Since the referenced link shows the same type of problem with Yahoo finance, I suspect there is a coding problem on the site, specific to how Firefox is reading the code. Not being a programmer, I can't offer specific advice other than contacting either Firefox through their Community forum, or Yahoo Finance.

  • Stop automatic play on import

    If I import an mp4 into iTunes it starts to play immediately, I then have to stop it and tell iTunes that it is a new mp4 so that my Eye TV will see it.
    Is there a way to stop this immediate playing?

    I don't have any option to uncheck in the playback preferences. All I have is the choice of how the movie will play either in full screen or seperate window etc...
    I'm running iTunes 8.1. If your personal info is correct, I see that you are a little behind with your OS.

  • After Update, stacked widget won't stop auto play

    Hello-
    On the home page of a website I am creating, I have used a composition widget to scroll through featured youtube videos. It is designed to auto play, sliding from video to video when you land on the page (stacked option selected), and then stop the auto play when one of the thumbnails is selected.
    Now that I have updated/upgraded, the autoplay will not stop!  Once you select a thumbnail, the auto play just starts again. This is an issue because I need the user to be able to watch the youtube video in the "slide" they have selected.
    Any way around this? or can this be resolved??
    Thanks,
    -Cord

    We broke it in the 2.0 update. 2.1 should go live next week. It includes a fix for this. Until then, I'm sorry but I'm not aware of a workaround.

  • How to initiate auto search and import

    When I first started iTunes, it initiated a auto search and import of files to my library, but it got interrupted by a software update and thus terminated the import process. How do I re-initiate that auto import?
    Thank you.

    Choose File > Library > Consolidate Library.

  • Is there any way to stop websites from auto-playing their content (music/videos) when the page loads?

    Certain websites have ads or content that plays music or videos and they are not always easily found to turn off. This also slows down my connection as it is constantly streaming or buffering and I have no way of stopping it. Is there any way that I can disable the websites from automatically playing their content?

    Is there any other options for this?
    I don't want to block the audio/video, and I do use ad-blocker... However, it's just really annoying when I "open link in new tab" for something I want to look at a little later. Especially if I open several at once, I get multiple tabs playing audio and/or video, and sometimes it takes a while to figure out which tab is doing what...
    The issue is I don't want to "block" them -- I just don't want them to play until either the tab is "activated" by clicking on it, or better yet, to only play when I click on the audio/video link.
    Thanks!

  • Stop Auto Play in Aggregator project (CP5)

    I've got a collection of software demos that I thought would be useful to bring together in an Aggregator project. Having done this, when I launch the project, the movies in my TOC automatically run, one after the other.
    I set my individual projects not to Auto Play in the Start End Settings, but this hasn't made a difference.
    Ideally, I want the first movie to auto play, then let the user select which of the others they want to view.
    I'm assuming I'm missing something basic here, but I can't suss it out
    Mark
    P.S. My first swf in the project does not get displayed in the preview window either
