Jumping to currently playing track - Any way to disable?

Is there any way to disable iTunes from jumping to the song each time a new one begins? Thanks.

Not being very helpful, I know. I would just like to say that I too think that this is very annoying.
Why is it necessary to jump to the currently playing track every time it changes? It makes it impossible to browse your music collection, especially if it is large. I have about 9000 tracks, and it is almost impossible to find the next track before the currently playing song is over.
You have to have a pretty good idea of what you want to hear before you start browsing.
So it would be very nice if Apple would either disable this "feature" or make it optional.

  • Flag current playing track

    I've recently upgraded from 8.0.2 to 8.2 (due to performance issues with 8.1+ versions) and have noticed that iTunes is no longer showing an icon next to the currently playing track.
    From the "View" menu I can select "Show Current Song" however that just highlights it in the list of tracks.
    This is probably a simple setting that I must have overlooked but can't figure out how to turn this indicator back on so that the list of tracks shows the current playing track with an icon.
    Any ideas?

    The speaker icon will only show where that song was selected to play.
    If you select a playlist and select the song then play, it will not show the speaker next to the song in Music or any other playlist.
    Also, if you select the song in Music and play it, it will not show the speaker in any playlists.

  • Took pictures on new ipod.  Did restore - lost all current pictures.  Any way to get the others back? :(

    Took pictures on new ipod.  Did restore - lost all current pictures.  Any way to get the others back?
    Had Christmas pictures of family and friends.  I'll be so sad if I can't them back. 

    You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any update or restore.
    If you failed to do this, then they are very likely gone.
    You can try restoring from backup

  • Add Current Playing track to Itunes With Verification

    Okay I am trying to create an applescript that adds the current playing track in itunes to a playlist. However I want it to be able to check if the track is already in the playlist. So far I have this in which I got online:
    set myList to "iPod"
    property okflag : false
    tell application "Finder"
    if (get name of every process) contains "iTunes" then ¬
    set okflag to true
    end tell
    if okflag then
    tell application "iTunes"
    set currentList to playlist myList
    add (get location of current track) to currentList
    end tell
    end if
    Message was edited by: Ralphdp

    What sort of check are you looking for? The first part of the script checks to see that the current track is not already present in the desired playlist. If not, the track is added to the playlist. Are you looking for some sort of confirmation that it has indeed arrived, or do you want some sort of rock solid method to be sure that the track gets added? I suppose that a repeat could be built that continues to run until the playlist shows that the track is indeed present, but it seems overkill to me.

  • Is there any way to disable needles on a slider?

    I was wondering if there were any way to disable needles on a slider. What I have is a slider with four needles, but I need to be able to disable two of the needles programmatically. I am currently setting the needles to transparent color and setting their values to +/- inf, but the user can still accidently select and move them. While this does not cause the program to work incorrectly, it does cause some visual confusion, since I am using fill modes. Basically, I am using the slider to allow the user to select areas on a graph, the filled area between the sliders are the areas that are being measured on the graph. The extra two sliders are for when the user wants to select multiple areas for measurement, and thus are
    not always in use.

    Just ran into this issue with an application.  Solution attached. 
    Use the Value Changed Event and set the current value of the slider to the previous value.  Some display artifacts occur as the UI thread is executed, but the subVI prevents the user from changing the value of a slider.

  • Is there any way to disable the firefox search option when you long press the home button on Samsung Galaxy S5 Active?

    I have an S5 Active and sometimes the home button sticks and registers as a long press which brings up Firefox search instead of going to the home screen. Is there any way to disable Firefox Search so that this doesn't happen. I Love the Firefox browser but if this keeps happening I will have to uninstall it.

    hello djpianalto, you could clear the default settings for firefox on android within the system settings (like described in this [http://www.howtogeek.com/195885/how-to-set-and-clear-a-default-app-on-an-android-device/ external article]).
    or try an app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hk.sld.SwipeLaunchDisabler

  • K1 any way to disable the Home Button?

    I hate this button!  I am always hitting it by mistake.  I can never remember if swiping up is for menu or swiping down is for back or what... I never use it... is there any way to disable it?  The only slightly useful thing about it is the screen capture... but again, not used much... HELP!

    Same here, the only reason I like the button for is for taking a screen shot.
    Maybe something could be added to the settings to disable this button?

  • Any way to disable automatic indexing while editing source?

    I am using Build JDEVADF_MAIN.DROP5_GENERIC_080107.0300.4814
    Whenever I edit a jsff file (for example, type a character), I get a little box in the lower right corner with the text "Indexing 1 File." While this is going on, my text editor is blocked and I can't see what I am typing on the page, nor can I do anything else. This is really annoying and I would like to disable it. I have looked through Tools | Preferences, but can't find a setting. Is there any way to disable file indexing during editing?

    Hi,
    you are using an Oracle internal build and ask the question on a public forum. If the indexing happens on any new file creation, please file a bug

  • App update notification on top right corner: any way to disable?

    Hi all!
    Running Mountain Lion I get a notification at the top right of the screen every time an App update is available. There are two buttons Update and Details but no Dismiss, "Go Away", or Cancel. I've got dozens of Apps on my laptop and don't want to update every time I get a notification. I figured out that a two finger swipe on the notification sends it off the screen (thanks Apple really obvious that one!). The problem is that fifteen minutes later it's back again!
    Is there any way of disabling App Store notifications without disabling all notifications? I can't see one.

  • Question:-Is there any way to disable the installation location/folder of da Adobe AIR Application?

    Is there any way to disable the installation location/folder of the Adobe AIR Application or can we skip that part automatically?

    xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"  is the spark mx address, which is completely different than the original 2006 mx library. 
    The thing is:  I love AIR, hate spark, loved the 2006 pre-spark functionality.  It is so much more convenient and user friendly.  Given the choice between having the display seperate from the  processing, or having it be convenient and easy  to work with, I choose the later option.
    For the most part it seems like the AIR api is like a layer on top of the spark - flex system..   I would like to be able to over lay the same AIR functionality on top of the the old system....
    Possible or no?

  • Is there any way to disable the use of the "Delete" key to delete an email message?

    It's very frustrating when I hit the delete key and iCloud automatically erases the selected email message.  I receive some HTML formatted emails that include a text box that I can utilize to directly reply to something.  If I don't make any mistakes at all, I can utilize this box and post a reply.  But if I mess up and need to delete text, instead of deleting text iCloud deletes the email message.  Is there any way to disable this?
    Thanks for your help.

    I don't believe it's possible to disable the delete key, but could be wrong. However, if you delete an email in error, you can restore it by pressing cmd + Z to undo the deletion.

  • Auto correct is making me look like an idiot. I have to go back and psychically spell check my documents now. Is there any way to disable it?

    Auto correct on my desktop Mac is making me look like an idiot. After I type it's changing words into other words I never typed and it even pushes words together that I'd typed a space in between in order to create new words that I never typed which make absolutley no sense.
    Now after I type a document I have to go back and psychically spell check my entire document the old fashioned way to make sure auto-correct isn't making me look like a clown who can't spell.
    Is there any way to disable "auto correct" on the desktop MAC and still keep spell check running?
    The amount of messages I've sent out with horribly misspselled words or errrors as a result  is maddening.
    HELP!!!
    Running OSX 10.9.1

    I had turned off auto-correct in the keyboard preferences, but in Mail all my spelling and grammer choices were grayed out.  The key for me — as Kingoftypos points out — was "For Mail, open a new message/reply/forward. Then go to the Edit menu and scroll down to the Spelling/Grammar."
    It would never have occurred to me to open a new message to be able to change the settings.
    Thanks, King

  • Ipad connecting with vmware view client v5.1. "any way to disable or hide radial virtual keyboard mouse interface as using blue tooth external keyboard"

    Issue - ipad connecting with vmware view client v5.1. "any way to disable or hide the vmware view's radial virtual keyboard mouse interface" either in vmware view client settings, hidden cmds, or ipad system settings.
    My client is using an external blue tooth ipad metal cover type keyboard and does not wish to have the radial keyboard / mouse visable or floating on desktop when connecting to vm with iPad using vmware view client v5.1.
    i was unable to locate any settings or related toggle key/function combo keystrokes under iPad settings under vmware view client, to affect viewability of the radial keyboard/mouse. And can you kill it from service/process on vm instead of ipad? then dont allow service to restart at startup? What is the name of services that enable the radial virtual keyboard mouse - function to work?
    Thanks for any and all feedback-

    I'm having a very similar issue. Sometimes, when I boot and type in startx (I'm not even a GNOME user--I use dwm and no graphical login manager), I just get a black screen. No mouse cursor, so I think X doesn't even load. It only started with the xserver 1.6 update and the update to that hasn't changed anything. What I've been doing is just rebooting until it loads normally (takes one to three times). Is anyone else having this problem?
