Is there a way to "monitor" for new music as in WMP?

I am reluctantly using iTunes for the first time in many years and I'm not ready to have all new music (whether purchased or manually imported) live in my iTunes folder. Currently, the only files in that folder are my WMAs that were converted to mp3 and for clarity's sake I want them to stay there rather than be integrated with the original files. I am fine with new media going there initially. However, to maintain the organization I've already got, I will move new files outside of the iTunes folder. WMP 11 allows me to continually monitor certain folders for addition to the library. Can this be done in iTunes or must I manually add them every time? (with "File> Add folder to library")
Also, and because there seems to be differing opinions on this out there, my guess is that in the "Preferences >Advanced" tab, "iTunes Music Folder Location" ONLY refers to where new music goes (and thereforecan remain just the way it is - "C:\Users\Erin\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music"), and both boxes should remain unchecked. Is this correct?
Thanks to all who are there to help us noobs,
Erin

Download and use iTunes FolderWatch.

  • Removing folders that Itunes monitors for new music

    How do I make it so Itunes wil stop looking for music in a particular folder that I did and "add folder to Library" on? I added a removable drive as a folder that Itunes searches for music on. Now I don't want itunes to look for music in that foler anymore how do I remove it from the folders that Itunes searches?

    iTunes does not automatically watch folders for new music. The only exceptions are the one-time scan on a new install, and the new Automatically Add to iTunes folder that is new in iTunes 9. What are you trying to do?

  • Is there a way to search for new events in ical

    i am after a way to search for all new events within a certain parameter in ical....so you can see which events have dropped into your calendar recently...not sure if this is an ical feature or automator. thanks. Simon

    What Anjaneai also means to say is that Adobe has neglected to provide a Usage button for variables as they have for Advanced Actions and Library objects so that you can see exactly where they are used.  This is a BIG problem when you have a lot of variables and AAs to search through.
    By all means log an enhancement request and add your voice asking for this VERY necessary feature.

  • Is there a way to change the "new" music icon?

    It has to be the ugliest icon of 2011. I can't believe... really can't believe that they would produce something so generic and ordinary...  what ever happened to "Think Different"?  This icon looks like something that would be on some no name pay as you go phone, and the shocker of it all is that Apple actually tradmarked the ugly little thing as if it were something special and unique! So my question is, how do I change this thing to something more consistant with the other icons?

    I am refering to the music icon on Phone and iPad after the lattest update. I easily changed it on my iMac without a problem, but it is ruining the look of my phone and pad. If anyone knows how to change them to something Apple-like that would be great. I wonder if whoever created that icon is at home right now thinking they did a good job? .... a total disaster from an aesthetic stand point.

  • Is there any way to search for a term using the Firefox search field, and have the results automatically open in a new tab?

    Is there any way to search for a term using the Firefox search field, and have the results automatically open in a new tab? When there was support for Google Toolbar, I was able to do this; now, whenever I want to search for something, I have to open a new tab to do it, and cut-and-paste my search into the search field in the new tab. I used to be able to highlight, drag, and drop something into the search field and have it automatically open in a new tab. This is enough for me to switch to Chrome . . .

    Set a preference to have searches from the Search Bar (upper right) automatically open all searches in a new tab
    #type '''about:config''' in the URL/Location/Address bar and press the Enter key
    #if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
    #Filter = '''browser.search.openintab'''
    #in the lower panel, double click the item (or right-click and choose "Toggle") to change the value to "true"
    #close the about:config tab and test

    About Google toolbar............
    Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox 5 and newer version. It is best to move on to other alternatives than to try any "hacks" to the toolbar that may or may not perform in the future. Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.

  • Is there a way to open a new window from the "Go" menu in Mavericks?

    Before Mavericks, I was able to go from the Finder to the top menu "Go" -> "Utilities", or Applications or Home… and a new window would open.
    Now I have to manually open a new window to avoid loosing my existing window.
    Is there a way to open a new window from the "Go" menu?
    First, as others have already stated.....make sure the checkbox is deselected for "open folders in tabs instead of windows" in Finder Preferences.
    If you're like me and don't like tabs very much, there is a way to make folders always open in windows with a simple click (I'm using Mavericks 10.9.5).  Go to a root folder (for example, the Documents Folder), open it, and select View > Hide Toolbar, then all folders within that root folder will open in a new window.
    As an alternative method, any folder can be opened in a new window by holding down either Command Key while clicking the folder. But sooner or later you will forget to hold down that key, and then clicking on a folder will open in a tab (which will automatically resize the window and cause much aggravation).
    The Hide Toolbar trick will also work with any folder present on the Desktop. It will make all folders inside that folder open in new windows.
    To make the Applications Folder open in a new window when opening it from the menu bar at the top of the screen, you will have to open the main hard drive folder and use the Hide Toolbar trick. This will cause all folders inside it to open in new windows.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is there a way to monitor Time Machine's current backup task?

    I started a second Time Machine backup to a NAS yesterday (in addition to my local TM Backup, which will now be taken offsite). It took a good 24hrs to finish, which was expected over WiFi. Since the initial backup, all the hourly backups have seemed normal...20-80 MB or so. Then all of a sudden this morning, I noticed the backup was taking longer than usual. I think it was indicating something around "1.09 GB of 1.09 GB", which seemed like a lot. I checked again, and the latter number had increased...something like "2.10 GB of 2.10 GB". I'm not running a VM, and there are no other obvious reasons the backup would be so big. I figured I'd let it go. I checked back again 30mins later and it was up to 69.1 GB of 69.1 GB.
    So what's going on here? TM typically knows exactly how much it needs to backup before it starts copying files. Why would the latter number continue to go up, particularly when there's no obvious reason for the extra data to backup?
    I tried opening the .inprogress pkg, but the folder size calcs weren't nearly fast enough for me to see where the backup was going. I tried the fseventer app, but it didn't seem very clear where files were being copied from; I could see where they were being placed, but since the backup is encrypted, backupd was writing to slices in the sparseimage, rather than an obvious hiearchy.
    Is there a way to monitor the files that TM is currently backing up...say in real time? Is there a debug logging mode for the backupd? Or is there a log of the files that were copied in the last backup? I'd prefer to see this in real time, so that last option would be least useful.
    I've poked through the great resources over at pondini.org, but nothing seems to really cover a backup that's in progress.
    Thanks in advance for any tips or ideas.
    p.s. I finally ended up stopping the really long backup; rebooted; restarted the backup manually, and this time it was a much more managable 500 MB. Additionally, I could see that during the final "cleaing up" stage, it removed the huge .inprogress file.

    Choose Connect to Server from the Finder's Go menu, provide the first computer's IP address, log in, and set it up in the Time Machine pane of System Preferences.

  • Is there a way to force a new session so my "on new session" code will run?

    I'm using apex.oracle.com and I find values of application (global) and page items persisting across logins.
    I didn't expect that? I thought they would go away when I logged out of APEX. But I can change the values, logout, and log back in to the same values. And when I login and start an application, it's not running my "shared components > application processes" initialization code which is set "on new session".
    I thought each login would be a distinct new session with it's distinct set of items. (see definition below)
    So when I run an application, is there a way to force a new session so my "on new session" code will run?
    >
    What Is a Session?
    A session is a logical construct that establishes persistence (or stateful behavior) across page views. Each session is assigned a unique identifier. The Application Express engine uses this identifier (or session ID) to store and retrieve an application's working set of data (or session state) before and after each page view.
    Because sessions are entirely independent of one another, any number of sessions can exist in the database at the same time. Also, because sessions persist in the database until purged by an administrator, a user can return to an old session and continue running an application long after first launching it. A user can also run multiple instances of an application simultaneously in different browser sessions.
    Sessions are logically and physically distinct from Oracle database sessions used to service page requests. A user runs an application in a single Oracle Application Express session from log in to log out with a typical duration measured in minutes or hours. Each page requested during that session results in the Application Express engine creating or reusing an Oracle database session to access database resources. Often these database sessions last just a fraction of a second.

    I cleaned up the copy of the Select List code in APEX 4.1.xxx which was not operating correctly before. Now it matches what I have in APEX 4.2.yyyy. And, drum roll please, the select list seemingly works fine there (4.1) as well. But now, the initialization code--which was working fine(!)--FAILS in 4.1!
    <font size="3"><font color="red">•<font face="courier new">
    Okay. Maybe this will help. 1) I logged in. Ran the login page but did not login. Opened the "session" window and wrote down the session ID. Logged out and back in. 2) Ran the login page but did not login. Opened the "session" window and .... it has the same session ID? 3) <b>So the session is persisting across logins!! How is that possible?</b>
    (More) When I log into 3 different applications, I get a different session ID for each but repeated logins always give the same session ID for any given session. </font>

  • My contacts are organized in different groups. An iPhone trade show app (Vinexpo) displays exhibitors infos and allows to create new contacts. Is there any way to save a new contact in a specified group instead of the contacts root? Thks in advance

    My contacts on my iPhone are organized in different groups. I have downloaded a trade show app which gives infos on the exhibitors of the show. It offers to create new contacts from these info. Is there any way to save these new contacts in a specified group instead of putting them into the contacts root, where they are mixed with all the old ones? By the way, can we create a new contacts group directly from the IPhone, without having to go through the sync process with the PC?
    Thanks a lot in advance

    Sorry, I forgot to bookmark the thread where the app was mentioned, but searching for "group" or "contacts" should bring a few results in the AppStore.

  • Is there a way to open a new tab/window by clicking the Safari dock icon?

    Is there a way to open a new tab or window by clicking the Safari dock icon? Right now, the default behavior seems to be that Safari simply un-minimizes or displays the last window in focus.
    I want to be able to quickly fire up a new tab or window in Safari when it is out of focus, such as when Finder is in focus. The workaround right now is to right-click on the Safari dock icon, and select "New Window", or to allow the last window in focus to appear, and cmd+t or cmd+n. But this is too many steps over the course of a day for a highly frequented task like this.

    I'm glad that helped. Thanks for posting back.
    ... when I save this as an application as "run only", it's relatively quick to run, but there's a delay to load... I assume it's opening Script Editor every time?
    As long as the script is saved as an application -- Run Only or not -- it should definitely not cause the Script Editor to open. You can verify this by closing the Script Editor application altogether prior to clicking on the docked script icon that you saved. You should notice that the Script Editor does not open when the script is run.
    FWIW, I went back and saved a version of the script as a Run Only app, and I didn't notice any difference between it and the original, which was saved without the Run Only option checked. The delay that you're noticing might be accounted for by the fact that the script, because it was saved as an application, will be activated just as any other standalone application would be. This happens prior to Safari being activated. Watch your menu bar when clicking on the docked script icon and you should see the name of the saved script app appear for a split second before Safari gets activated.
    The only time I can think of that you might wish to save the script as a Run Only application would be if you wanted to conceal the script for some reason. If, for example you were publishing the script as a part of an application release and didn't want its contents known, or you didn't want an end user to be able to edit the script, you might select the Save As > Run Only option. To illustrate this, try dragging and dropping a script saved as a Run Only application onto the Script Editor's icon. You should see a warning dialog to this effect:
    *Unable to read the file because the script is not editable (it was saved as run-only).*
    Whereas if you drag a script that was not saved as a Run Only app onto the Script Editor's icon, the script should open in the Editor, and it can be edited.
    I played around with the "stay open" option for saving the script as an application, but it appears I have to close the app and reopen it before I can get it to work a second time.
    The Stay Open option is appropriate for scripts which use an "On Idle" handler, which really wouldn't apply in this case. Check out more on Idle Handlers here and here.
    Is there a faster way to use this multiple times throughout the day?
    One way you might speed up the action would be to save the script +as a script+ by choosing Save As > File Format: script from the Script Editor's File menu. The resulting script can then be activated by assigning a hot key to it using one of several 3rd-party keyboard shortcut programs available on the Internet. (I used Spark, assigned a function key to the script I posted earlier, and found the action to run significantly faster.)
    Good luck.

  • Is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

    While working in Firefox is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

    I guess I'm not explaining myself fully. I have a home page designation in firefox preferences that starts firefox up with 5 sites. that pretty fills up my screen with tabs.
    At some point I want to initiate another WINDOW in firefox (NOT a tab). I would like to be able to open up a window that ONLY has ONE tab, or as if there were only one site designated as the home page. This gives me a workspace that has my most useful sites available in tabs in one window, and also another WINDOW that I can move around in and even create more tabs without messing up my primary set of TABS (in my primary window). I see how this might not be doable without doing what I do now, which is open up a new window, and then close tabs until the new window just has one tab for me to work from.

  • Is there a way to monitor the data usage on existing applications?

    I just noticed that a few apps are still using my data plan long after I closed the application.
    Is there a way to monitor that?
    Also I am being told that the icloud back up can consume allot of data (in the GB)

    About the only thing you could try is looking at the internet history on the phone itself. But there is not a site on VZW that will show WHAT the data was used for,

Maybe you are looking for
