Simple Question--hard answer?

This should not be that hard, so I'm guessing I'm just blind. Someone emails me a stupid, funny song/ad/random mp3. I click on it. Its added to my iTunes library. Why? What makes iTunes think I want to add EVERY mp3 I double click on to my iTunes library? I don't need the file stored twice--once in my email, once in my library.
Where is the setting to turn off this irritating behavior? Its like there is an invisible Clippy, saying, "I see you have clicked an mp3. I've gone ahead and added it to your library. You're welcome!"

That's not what I want though--I DO want it to copy to my folder when purposefully adding to my library.
Right now, double click = add to library.
I want is double click to equal "play", and then, if i actually like the song I'm listening to that is say, on my desktop, to go to iTunes File|Add to Library, browse to that song and then have it add to my library, copying it to my music folder.
My workaround is just to set Real Player as my default mp3 player, but I would rather not do that.

SIMPLE QUESTION - HARD TO ANSWER?`

I have an iPod Nano. Very very cool little media unit.
I have itunes on my iMac.
I have a playlist I've been building for my angelic wife.
I've been buying songs from itunes store that go into this list.
QUESTION:
When I plug my ipod into my imac to download the songs, I only want the songs from this playlist on my ipod. I don't want it just randomly grabbing songs from my Library like it does each time. How do i get my ipod Nano to grab just the playlist I created for my wife?
Does the ipod just go for whatever is in your Library, or can I teach it to go for songs just in this one playlist?
If you can answer this, I will give you 200 Karma points to get you out of any mess you think you got yourself in.
(here's another little question: did you know that itunes store doesn't really have all the songs that really matter? Did you know that it only has ONE Jethro Tull song? What's up with that?)
mac imac 20in. 2.1 gig Mac OS X (10.4.5)

With the iPod connected, go into your iTunes preferences and set it to 'Update Only Selected Playlists'.
Choose the one playlist that you want to sync.
Anything in the playlist will be copied to the iPod. Anything not in the playlist will be removed from the iPod.
More info here:

RE: Jethro Tull... yes, it's a shame.
There are many artists/labels who do not have licensing deals to sell content through iTMS. I'm sure Apple would stock every song ever created if they could. We can only hope that changes someday.

Applecript and xcode. Simple question, unknown answer. help!

Hello,
I am completely new to XCode and have been trying to use some self-made applescript libraries for a new Applescrip-xcode app.
My question is just how to call from my main script (applescrip) the functions inside those libraries. I used to do something like this (and works fine) when using applescript editor:
set library_file to "pathtolibFolder:myLibrary.scpt"
set myLibrary to (load script file (library_file))
set aVariable to aFunction() of myLibrary
This code (I think obviously) does not work in xcode, and I think there should be somewhere something like:
#include "myLibrary.scpt"
Those self-made-libraries are already compiled and have been imported (non .applescript but .scpt), de-compiled and re-compiled by xcode correctly (no errors), but I don't know where I have to put the connections to those libraries in my project. I'm sure the answer is simple but I'm unable to find it by myself.
Thanks!

Replying myself... I think I've found the answer, not yet tried but looks nice. I post (paste) it here cos it might be useful to someone. I'll let you know if that works:
How could I include an applescript as its own ASOC class?
It's pretty straightforward. In XCode, Make a new file ... class... ASOC.
And you can basically paste in your applescript into the middle of the file that is created. Make sure that you change the names of any handlers you want to call from outside the class into ASOC methods by adding an underscore between name and parentheses; i.e. from doThething() to doTheThing_()
A typical applescript handler:
property aProperty : "a string"
global aGlobal
on doTheThing(withThis)
return retVal
end doTheThing
as its own ASOC class:
script aScriptClassName
property parent : class "NSObject"
property aProperty : "a string"
global aGlobal
on doTheThing_(withThis)
return retVal
end doTheThing_
end script
Then, to call the methods in your new ASOC class from another ASOC class, the easiest thing to do is add your new class to your application's Interface Builder NIB and connect it to a property in the ASOC class you want to call your methods from.
property myOtherClass : missing value
myOtherClass's doTheThing_(itsInput)

Copy FLASH to USBFLASH0...Simple Question need answered

I would like to copy all folder/files from flash to usbflash. When I receive a new router to configure, I would like to use my usb-stick to copy everything from flash, including that ccpexp folder with many sub-folders, to my usb. Can someone assist with how to perform or options?

Ah...I tried that several times with nno luck. This should be an easy thing to due. I know someone will tell me to use ftp or tftp but I really don't think I have to if the router has a usb port. Doing files individualy will work, but if a router has many files in flash then a simple COPY command should be enough. Am I missing something?

IPod Touch vs iPod Classic Syncing. Simple question, Any answers?

I have an iMac G4 running Leopard and a new Mac Mini Intel running Snow Leopard. Here is my connection issues:
1) My iPod classic syncs to both computers.
2) My iPod Touch (running OS 4.0) syncs to my iMac but not the Mac Mini.
Why?
There has to be a simple solution, but I haven't seen one. I've tried all of the solutions posted here for the Touch, but none work.

Your mini needs to be running iTunes 9 to start. The touch syncs via a piece of software called Apple Mobile Device Services, the classic does not use this.
These two tech articles will help you solve the problems you are having with AMDS on your mini:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
and if you need to remove and reinstall iTunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224
If you are connecting through a USB hub, try connecting directly to the mini until you get this sorted out. If you are going to use a hub, it needs to be powered.

Simple question, hard solution (for me)

Hi,
I've made a jsp base application that works without problems
Now I have to execute a class included in WAR file by command prompt because I want to make a scheduled batch procedure.
I went to war directory and:
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps>java it.agic.interventi.ConnessioneDB -classpath Interventi.war
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: it/agic/interventi/ConnessioneDBPlease, HELPPPPPP !!!!!!
Thanks in advance
Bye

Yes your classpath is wrong indeed. You need to build your classpath so that it contains all the thirdparty library jars as well.
The "java" command gives the following hint:
-classpath <class search path of directories and zip/jar files>
A : separated list of directories, JAR archives,
and ZIP archives to search for class files.So from this I can assume that in this directory you specified as your classpath:c:\program files\apache group\tomcat 4.1that the mail jar is not present there. You must get the correct path where these jars are present, and edit your "java" command's classpath option appropriately.

Moving Final Cut Project to External Hard Drive...Simple Question!

I'm new to Final Cut, Macs and External Hard Drives and have a simple question:
I've created a project in Final Cut. I would like for Final Cut to be stored on my mac, but all project/media files to be stored on the External Hard Drive. Which files do I move to the hard drive and what settings to I have to change for Final Cut to be able to locate them?
Many thanks!

Well, you should always store the Application and the project file on your main OS drive. And yes, always have an external for the media. In FCP, open the SYSTEM SETTINGS in the FCP menu and you will see the interface for setting your Capture Scratch disk.
The files you move default to the DOCUMENTS folder, and are in the FINAL CUT PRO DOCUMENTS. The Capture SCRATCH, RENDER and AUDIO RENDER files.
Do yourself a favor and glance at that manual...or the FCP tutorials. This is FCP basics 101.

Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro? From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended. But how/where?

Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro? From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended. But how/where?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance

Re: add-ons. Just a simple question I couldn't find an answer to. Is the term "uninstall" equivalent to "remove the software from the computer"?

I downloaded a You Tube downloader, and expected an icon to come up when You Tube was playing, according to a friend's advice.
Since this didn't happen I assumed the download didn't work, or was an old version that doesn't work anymore. I wanted to just get rid of it and try another downloader.
I went to Tools--> Add-ons--> and clicked on the downloaded software and saw the 2 options [Disable] and [Uninstall]. The terminology is unclear, as I've always thought once software resides on your computer you can install it or uninstall it without erasing it from the computer.
A simple question that seems obvious except to someone who wants to be very precise and sure. Basically "does [Uninstall] mean erase from the computer"?
Thanks

With Firefox extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) you have two possibilities. You can disable an extension if you do not want to use it now, but want to keep it. Or you can uninstall an extension and remove it from the computer. Note that uninstalling an extension still leaves prefs in about:config (prefs.js) and possibly files in the profile folder that will be reused in case you decide to reinstall an extension at a later time.

Need a simple answer for simple question???

simple question... what is the best way to export my fce movie and burn it on idvd for the best quality for genaral use ... sd..4x3 ratio tv.. lots of ken burn effects on photos... lots of sd video... ???
not so simple answer... i have read manuals.. apple discussions.. etc etc my eyes are blurry.. i have been exporting out of fce to qk time movie, then import to idvd and burn..
i get lots of wavy or jitter when doing kens burn effects on photos.. i have been told that 1 field must be missing.. and its better to take the qk time movie convert it again making sure hi quality is checked(movie properties 720 x 480) and self contained movie, then import to imovie ver 5.02 which has better codecs then to idvd ... an apple store tech said..
then another apple store tech said...dv pro or dv stream or interlaced or on and on and on
its not 16x9, or for the web or anything but simply burn it and give it to my grandma to play in a standard dvd player.. best quality.. period.. i know it won't any better than my source video but the wavy photos bother me..
help

The Apple store tech told you garbage. The quality will be the same. It's using the same QuickTime engine. There may be a difference because going through iMovie will go through a file conversion and the picture might be softened a little, which will mitigated this flicker you see.
The wavy photos can be a lot of things, most likely due to the nature of the images themselves and the movements you've done on them. What often works on still images is to apply a one pixel vertical motion blur in an application like Photoshop or Elements. This helps to reduce interlace flicker on motion when the material is brought into a video editing application.

[Theory] A simple but hard question about OO programming

I was in my first class of OO programming (4th year of computer engineering in Valencia) and the professor gave us homework.
The homework was a simple question about OO programming (it is not about a specific language, though we are going to use Java in the practice sessions), we shall find an answer to it and discuss it in class the next day.
The question was:
"May classes also be objects?"
which can be said as:
"May classes be instances of an(other) classes?"
I hope that you, archers, can enlighten me in this question

tvale wrote:I believe an object is an instance of a class.
Yup, that's true. Let's see... An object is an instance of a class, so we can have a lot of objects coming from one class.
We can say an object is not a class because it has a state (think about a light, it has a state: on or off, but a class light is not on/off, because in a class we just describe the behavior that class should have.
But what we're asking here is if a class can have a state. I think it may refer to static properties about the objects.

Not any more, no. There was a free bumper program back when the iPhone 4 originally came out. It has long since expired.
