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 to stop the Dialog from being dragged

I was hoping that someone could tell me when calling a Dialog from Jframe, a how to stop the Dialog from being dragged
while a dialog is showing.
When it is visible I can still click and drag the Dialog
I want to set it so you can not drag it until the dialog has be closed.

If you don't have access to the parent frame, a "hack" that usually works:
Frame frame = Frame.getFrames()[0];
if (null != frame && frame instanceof JFrame){
JFrame jf = (JFrame)frame;
JDialog jd = new JDialog(jf, "title");
... code here ...
As each JFrame (or Frame) is opened, its stored in the array of Frames that you can get. Same thing with Dialog.getDialogs(). Almost always, at least so far for me I've never had this problem, the [0] index is the main window opened, or the parent/top frame. I'd put the check in there to be safe and make sure its a JFrame and usually you'll only have the one JFrame.

How to stop volume icon from being displayed randomly

How to stop volume icon from being displayed randomly

Thanks for the quick response.
I have a number of slides which act as a training module. The quiz follows this. All the answers to the quiz are in the module slides. I'd like the user to be able to see which questions they're failing on, but not be shown the answers, as, if they are failing the quiz, the whole module needs to be reviewed and the test retaken.
If this isn't possible, I'll probably just remove the review option, thereby meaning my retake button can stay, and the user can just go back and re-read the module slides to learn the answers.
Thanks

How to stop an email from being sent after I hit send?

How can I immediately stop an email from being sent after clicking "send"?
I can't seem to find any info on this. I am assuming that it is impossible. Correct?

When sending the emails with larger attachments that take a little time to actually upload and get out, you can open the activity viewer by pressing command-0 (or is it command-o?--)--it may also be under the window menu at the top--I'm not at my Mac right now to check. The activity viewer has a stop button on it. After you stop it, you should be able to either delete the email from the outgoing mail folder or drag that email to another folder, such as the drafts folder. I've done this a few times without a problem.

How to stop an idoc from being processed further

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement where i have to stop the idoc from being processed in an user exit.
I have to stop the idoc and give a suitable status message over there.
It would be highly helpful if anybody tells me how to stop the idoc abruptly and giv the status messsage.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Check the below link

You need to find aproper EXIT.
The avaliable options for you in the exit is
IDOC_DATA
Now if i pick the segment having shiped qty from the data record and check the same with the delivery qty your objective is half done.
When the condition fails you need to update the IDOC with Error 51 saying that this is not possible .
for that you need to bring your logic as
LOOP AT IDOC_CONTROL.
PERFORM LOGIC...
ENDLOOP.
FOR LOGIC .
All the criteria and then update the status of the IDOC then error is generated and updated to the IDOc.
PERFORM updatestatusidoc.
endform logic.
like this in
form updatestatusidoc.
IF subrc = 0 .
t_idoc_status-docnum = f_idoc_contrl-docnum.
t_idoc_status-status = c_idoc_status_ok.
t_idoc_status-msgty = 'S'. -
>denotes success
t_idoc_status-msgid = 'ZXXX'.
t_idoc_status-msgno = '000'. "
t_idoc_status-msgv1 = itab-field.
APPEND t_idoc_status.
ELSEIF subrc = 1.
t_idoc_status-docnum = f_idoc_contrl-docnum.
t_idoc_status-status = c_idoc_status_error.
t_idoc_status-msgty = 'E'. "denotes --->error
t_idoc_status-msgid = 'ZXXX'.
t_idoc_status-msgno = '001'. "
t_idoc_status-msgv1 = itab-field.
APPEND t_idoc_status.
endif.
endform.
this has to be done to make the idoc to trigger error mode.

How to stop just one item being reset when sumbit is pressed?

How can i keep the value of just one item when the submit button is pressed. This field will always be the user id of the user logged on so i dont want it to be reset. I have tired doing a simple query to select the id everytime the page loads but the value then appears null when i do an insert statement to create a particular record for the user in a table.
Anyone any ideas?

Right I could see how the APP_USER would work but it wouldn’t work in this situation.
To be more specific I want the id of the user which is called student id to stay the same all the way through the application as there id refers to them. What I have is that when a user logs on it takes them to their details and a menu part. One of the options is to enter some documents relevant to them. So when they click this option a new page opens showing a report of all the current documents as well as a form where you can update, insert new and delete documents.
When you load the page the report and form work fine with the correct student id being passed form the pervious page. If however you create a document all the fields in the form get reset. I therefore want a way of stopping the student id from being reset when you create or delete a document. Basically if the page refreshes.
I can run an sql query that gets the correct student id if the field is null and displays it correctly in the form but for some reasons (im guessing cos its a result of a query) when it tries to process this when I submit the field is null.
Any ideas as this one has got me

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...
Joel

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 sound track from being divided when adding clips to other tracks in PrE12?

The situation:
I have a project with several minutes of video clips on the timeline (expert view) in "Video 1/Audio 1." There is also music on the sound track (below the empty "Narration" track).
Any time I make an edit to the Video 1 track, PRE cuts the Sound Track. (Note that this is not the Audio 1 track, it's the sound track which is two tracks away.) If I insert a clip, the Sound Track is cut and left with a gap. Same if I do a FreezeFrame insert. This is bad enough (make ten insertions, have the Sound Track chopped into ten separate pieces), but it gets worse: when I try to slide the Sound Track pieces back together, the Video 1 clips will be moved around.
This appears to be a major bug but I'm hoping there is a simple way to deal with it.
Here's what the Manual (p.71) has to say about it (not much).
"When you insert a clip into the Expert view timeline, adjacent clips on all tracks shift to accommodate the new clip. By shifting all clips together, the audio and video of the existing clips remain in sync."
* The question here is, adjacent to what? The Sound Track is a continuous music clip of many minutes; it is alone on the Track, and there is nothing on the track above it (Narration track). So it's not adjacent to anything, and yet it is being chopped up.
The Manual continues:
"Sometimes, you don’t want all clips to shift with each insertion. For example, when you add background music that superimposes the entire movie, you don’t want clips to shift."
*They got that right, but they don't say anything about how to prevent it.
This next makes no sense at all:
"To shift specific clips togather, press the Alt key as you insert. At a time, you can shift specific clips simultaneously on a maximum of two tracks. These include the track receiving the insertion and the track containing the linked audio or video (if any). The affected tracks shift together, remaining aligned. The clips on other tracks are unaffected."
*There is no mention of how to specify what clips would be shifted, or not.
I'm not dealing with linked clips. And they tell me how to shift clips (sort of) but nothing about how to stop clips from being cut up and shifted. This all makes it very hard to create a coordinated product.
Any suggestions or solutions will be much appreciated.

Thanks, ATR,
I wll try this--but I still am unclear on how to do what the Manual says is possible: select clips on another track that WILL be moved, if I so desire, so as to remain synched to the main Video track.
UPDATE:
In the case of inserting Freeze Frame, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
1. Put Video on Vid1 track
2. Put Music on Sound Track
3. Ran a few seconds of Vid
4. Stopped Vid, selected Freeze Frame
5. Held down Ctrl key while clicking "Insert in Movie" also tried with holding down Alt key.
Result: a 3 second still was inserted int the Vid1 track. A corresponding gap was created in the Sound Track.
6. Slid the final part of the Sound Track to the left along the timeline to re-connect it to the next segment created by the above process.
Result: the video following the final Freeze Frame was pushed to the right end of Video1 track.
7. Slid the Sound Track all the way to the left.
Result: the entire Video 1 Track contents were pushed to the right and divided in pieces.
I documented each step with screen shots which I can send if you want them and if I can figure out how to do it.
UPDATE #2
In the case of inserting a video clip to the Timeline, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
1. Locate video in Project Assets
2a. R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), hold down Ctrl, click Insert to Timeline.
Result: Vid clip is inserted on Video 1 track, Sound Track is separated with a corresponding gap.
2b. R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), push Alt
Result: pull-down menu disappears as soon as Alt is pushed down.
I can stil drag the Vid clip but it's one more manual step...I love shortcuts!!

How to stop Windows iTunes from spontaneously creating new folders with duplicate copies of songs, and renaming existing folders?

I've recently started using iTunes regularly to import CDs. Since then, I've found my Windows 'My Music' folder is behaving in bizarre ways.
I like to organise most of my music in folders by Genre --> Album title, without paying attention to Artist. I also like to rename certain album folders (and the Album name in each track's metadata as well, so that each album/folder remains consistent), and also to create customised 'mix tape' album folders. I just want to use Windows Explorer / My Computer to manage this; I don't want to do it via iTunes. I just want to use iTunes for initially getting the music from CD to computer.
Previously, when I was using Windows Media Player to import CDs, if Windows Media Player placed an imported CD under a folder category I don't use, such as Artist, I would just manually move the Album folder and delete the empty parent Artist folder. However these days iTunes is spontaneously creating an entire series of Artist folders, even for tracks and albums that were already on my computer, and is placing duplicate track files into them. Additionally, it's renaming albums for folders and tracks I've customised, turning album titles back into their original values. This is happening even though the destination for newly imported/downloaded iTunes tracks is not the My Music folder itself, but rather another folder within that one. I've had a look at Preferences --> Advanced and the 'Keep iTunes media folder organised' and 'Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library' boxes are already unchecked, so it's not related to that anyway. How do I get iTunes to leave my folders alone?

First off see this user tip so should any further unwanted changes happen you have a chance to revert to your original layout.
It is not unknown for AV software to interfere with iTunes and corrupt its configuration files. If this happens iTunes can revert to the default settings to "Keep..." & "Copy...". Deselecting those options won't return any files to their original paths.
If you have "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases" enabled under Edit > Preferences > Store that can lead iTunes to download the original metadata for any of your purchases and show that instead of any edits you may have made to it. Turing that option off and restarting iTunes may reveal your version of the metadata.
There is another option under Edit > Preferences > Store that reads "Share details about your library with Apple" although I don't think that changes metadata in the way that the similar option in Windows Media Player does. Double-check your settings in Windows Media Player (Options > Library) to make sure it isn't set to "Retrieve additional information from the Internet". This is usually the cause of spontaneous tag resetting. WMP can be called into life in the background when visiting certain websites and it has a lazy cache, meaning it can sometimes write out metadata to your media files long after the data was originally acquired.
It is also work noting that mp3 files may contain multiple tags and iTunes, for one, treats these unpredictably. In some cases it may appear to accept and write out a tag change only to later read back the original unchanged data from another copy of the tag.

Stop network home from being created and shared on login

I have successfully set up a OD server bound to Active Directory. I have the shares set up exactly how I want them - except - I don't want network users to have their home folder automatically created. I am only using AD for authentication and not network home folders. Is there a way for when a user logs in to not have the home folder created on the server and thus preventing it from being shared. I only want the shares that I have specified in the Share Point window to show up.

Hi there,
I bring good tidings .
After some tweeking I've gotten this to work.
Replace [YOURDOMAIN] with the first part of the FQDN, e.g. my.domain.net will make MY.plist
Step 1:
copy /Library/Preferences/OpenDirectory/Configurations/Active Directory/[YOUDORMAIN].plist to your Desktop
Change the permissions so you can edit the plist file (I use Plist Editor pro to edit.)
Step 2:
Find the key:
MCXDockSpecialFolders-Raw
Step 3:
Delete the string under it:
0 AddDockMCXOriginalNetworkHomeFolder
Step 4:
sudo cp [YOURDOMAIN].plist /Library/Preferences/OpenDirectory/Configurations/Active Directory/[YOURDOMAIN].plist
Reboot and watch the magic happen!!
I have been fiddling about with some other settings in this plist, it seems to be very powerfull.
I don't know why apple doesn't make options in the AD Plugin to manage these settings, but then again power = the power to break things.
I still mount the network home drive, but I do it with a login hook so that I have the power.
Hope to have made some people happy, but I bet I have.
It's a pity I don't get points for resolving issues myself, this one would be word many points.

How to stop email addresses from being added to contacts

hofw do you stop email addresses from sent emails from being added automatically to contacts?

No. They are not being created by the phone. They are being created by your mail system, whether that is Exchange, Yahoo, Google, etc. They all have settings to automatically create contacts from people you correspond with. There is no setting on the phone to control this. Check the settings for your mail account with or talk to your IT department.

How to stop control characters from being tokenized?

In Oracle 11.2.0.3
I have documents which has embeded Arabic and so there is a control character \u202b to indicate right-to-left string. How do I stop these kinds of control characters from being tokenized. Doing a search with CONTAINS(search_string,' \u202b')>0 finds documents. Do I just add the '\u202b' as a stopword?

What lexer are you using, Amin?
I assume from what you say that the characters are getting indexed as whole tokens? If so, adding them as stopwords should work, but I'm surprised they're getting indexed at all - sounds like a fault in the "alphanumeric indentification" code to me.
I'm going to take a guess this is the World Lexer. Am I right?

How to stop table row from being split onto two pages

How do I stop a row of output from being split between two
pages. When the CFDocument loads, sometimes, the last row on a page
"spills" over onto the next. I'd like to figure out who to prevent
these "orphans" from happening, and force the row onto one page or
the other.
Here's my code for the doc... I have a sp that querys the sql
db. Using CFDocument - CF Version 7.02

If you know roughly how many lines of output will fit on a
page (you can test to find out), then you can count result lines
(you should be able to use RecordCount and do some math) and cfif
against your counter and force a page break beforehand if the next
table will be too much to fit on the page. Then just reset the
counter after you page break.
