In Windows 7, how to make music folders open with iTunes??

Ok, here’s my little problem:
In Windows 7, I have iTunes installed with WMP disabled. In the registry, I have added a Windows Explorer right-click shortcut for folders so that I can choose to open/play that folder’s content in iTunes (see image link below).
http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u297/akita11/Explorer.jpg
All well and good, but I’m the lazy type. So what I would like, is when I left-click on a music folder that has audio files (like mp3’s) in it, instead of Windows Explorer opening the folder, for Windows to open/play such a folder in iTunes automatically. But, and that’s the thing I guess, this should only apply to music folders with audio files (like mp3’s) in it, and not to any other folder containing non-audio files.
I know I can go to the Folder Options control panel applet | File types, and edit the advanced settings for “Folder” from ‘Explore’ to ‘Play with iTunes’ as the default. But then this will be applied so that all and any folders open in iTunes, which isn’t exactly what I’m after.
I guess this can be handled via an advanced registry change, just like I added the Windows Explorer right-click shortcut via a simple registry setting. But for the **** of me I can’t figure out how to do it. I did google around a bit, but without any success.
All help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

You need to place a shortcut to open Firefox in the Start > Programs > Startup folder.<br />
That is basically the same in all Windows versions.

  • How to make navigation tools open with every document?

    Hi -
    I'm using Acrobat 8 Professional.
    Every time I open a document there are no tools at all showing.  The window shows the document and the title bar.  But I'd like to have more than that.
    I finally figured out using cmd-F to get some basic navigation tools (search, page number, I-beam, hand, etc).
    I would like this assortment of tools to open with every and any document I open.
    How do I accomplish this??
    TIA your input.

    With Voice Over, you highlight whatever you are trying to select and then double tap anywhere on the screen to select.
    So for your password of 1234 you have to
    "Highlight 1, then double tap the screen, Highlight 2, the double tap the screen,... etc."
    In order to remove you have 2 options:
    Option# 1 – Turn off Voice Over
    Go to setting by, highlight "SETTING
    Double tap screen to go into settings
    Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and highlight "GENERAL"
    Double tap screen to go into general
    Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and then highlight “ACCESSIBILITY”
    Double tap screen to go into accessibility
    Once you are in make sure that EVERYTHING in that section are shown as “OFF”
    Option #2 - Reset your Phone
    Go to setting by, highlight "SETTING
    Double tap screen to go into settings
    Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and highlight "GENERAL"
    Double tap screen to go into general
    Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and then highlight “RESET”
    Double tap screen to go into reset
    Select “Reset all setting” and continue to follow the instruction
    (When you reset, all of your data and music WILL NOT erase. So don’t worry about that)
    Hope this helps.

  • How to make my iphone work with itunes on new macbook air?

    I previously used a PC which I used to put music on my iphone from itunes however I now have a macbook air and I don't know how to change my iphone so that it now recognises my new computer as the right one. I can use my macbook to sync my phone however if I try to drag music or videos onto it it won't work.
    Thanks

    An iPhone 5 requires iTunes 10.7 (minimum) which in turn requires OSX 10.6.8 (minimum) which in turn requires an Intel Mac (which you have).
    1) Make sure your computer meets Snow Leopard technical specifications - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575  This mostly means making sure it is an Intel Mac and has at least 1GB RAM (at least 2 GB is recommended).  Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window to "About This Mac".  To check RAM continue to "More Info...".  It should say you have at least 1GB of "memory".
    2) Buy a Snow Leopard disc from Apple online
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard - USA
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard - UK
    or telephone Apple. In the USA: (800) 676-2775 (contact information for other countries: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57)
    Alternatively you can buy from online retailers but anticipate paying much more than the original price which is the price still charged by Apple
    3) Backing up your computer before upgrading is always a good idea.
    4) After installing from the DVD, update your Snow Leopard installation using Software Update or manually downloading and installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v.1.1 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399

  • How to - play music on E: with iTunes on C:

    I bought a 500gb My Book and loaded a bunch of music on there. iTunes resides on my root C: drive. I'd like to keep iTunes on C: so I can sync my ipod to a playlist without having to connect the E: drive to the laptop.
    iTunes works great for playing the music on E:, but everytime it plays a song from that drive it copies over to the iTunes music library on C:.
    Is there a setting that allows iTunes to just be used as the player while not copying and managing the music files on the extra drive? I only have a 60gb drive on my laptop which is almost full. I have a thousand CD's I'm trying to get on to iTunes.
    thx - Mike

    Is there a setting that allows iTunes to just be used
    as the player while not copying and managing the
    music files on the extra drive?
    Hi
    The setting you are looking for is in
    Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab
    in there you need to untick the "copy files to itunes Music folder when adding to library"
    (or you could do what I have and change the itunes music library to your E: drive.)
    unfortunately you wont be able to sync these files on the E: drive without it being connected
    hope this helps

  • Fix for Music app crash with iTunes Match "on"

    Sometimes if you try to use iTunes match for the first time on 3G(or any other cellular connection) it crashes Music app permanently. It can occur if you try to run Music app on the go with bad 3G connectivity so some data is corrupted or configured incorrectly. I had this twice, but found this "easy" fix without a need of PC/Mac computer & iTunes.
    How to fix music app crash with itunes match "on".
    Step by step on the iPad:
    - delete all music on your device:
    Go to settings->usage->view list of all apps->swipe music icon ->choose delete
    - set itunes match off
    - run music app
    - give it a while till it shows "no music" info and only shop button. It needs to reload all settings and clear all data. Wait till no loading circle.
    - go to settings app again
    - music settings - itunes match on but "show all your music" off !
    -  open music app
    - wait till all your music lists covers download. It will take a while. Scroll down to load them all if you want. Wait till no loading circle.
    - go to settings app again
    - music settings - show all your music on
    - go to music app
    - wait till it download list of all your music
    Done
    Maybe you can fix this with lesser number of steps but this way I'm sure it works.

  • How do I "link" my music folders to the iTunes Library?

    I have recently upgraded my computer. I have formated my disk and installed a new XP, Office, iTunes etc.
    Now I have all my music files on a disk D: and my iTunes at C: but I can't manage to "add"/"link" my music folders to the iTunes Library. After iTunes installation, I have changed the path at Edit/Preferences/Advanced/iTunes Music Folder Location to D: ... but the iTunes Library keeps "empty".
    Help please !!!
    Thanks.

    Goncalo,
    Changing the location of the iTunes Music folder will only affect songs you add with iTunes in the future.
    To add the songs you already have, use the File menu > Add Folder to Library ... option and select the folder that contains your music in the navigation pop-up window that appears.

    Thanks for the reply.
    The video clip is a single screen capture video clip. This is what I've found by playing around with this more.
    The original clip resolution is greater than 640x480. If I use QT Pro to convert the original clip to 640x480 and then use either Flip4Mac or PE7, then the resolution looks good.
    Just trying to figure out if should keep all workflow on the MacOS side. There are several different version of Flip4Mac. $49 gives me 640x480, but if I ever want to make it slightly larger then I would need to go with the $99 or HD version.
    I also tried to export to AVI with QT Pro and the import with Windows MovieMaker but it didn't work really good. I liked the simplicity (since PE7 hogs a lot of resources especially through VMWare).

    Yes, that appears how Mavericks works right now. However, you can open the Address Panel, select all your contacts, then click the To (or CC, or Bcc) buttons to move the selection to the address field.
    If it is not already in the Toolbar, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar…
    Then, drag the address panel up to wherever you want it.
    You may also want to add it to the New Message window in the same way.
