Stop automatic play on import

If I import an mp4 into iTunes it starts to play immediately, I then have to stop it and tell iTunes that it is a new mp4 so that my Eye TV will see it.
Is there a way to stop this immediate playing?

Have you unchecked the Play Movies and TV preference in Playback ?
I don't have any option to uncheck in the playback preferences. All I have is the choice of how the movie will play either in full screen or seperate window etc...
I'm running iTunes 8.1. If your personal info is correct, I see that you are a little behind with your OS.

  • How to stop auto play on importing audio/video

    I am so sorry to post this question. I've seen it many times around on internet, but it is driving me ABSOLUTELY MAD. After importing audio/video on iTunes (plus copy into iTunesLibrary), the file automatically starts playing. It is annoying me more and more, I can not seem to turn the function off. iTunes seems to be defaulted nowadays to start autoplay after importing music or video into iTunes~?
    Please someone, where can I turn this function off????????????
    thanx for your help. But honestly, with iTunes I don't expect there is a solution. I hope there will be good software available in future OS-versions.

    Hey tt2 and Chris!
    Uhm...you both talk aout the actual folder 'automatic add to iTunes'? So, have to look that up tomorrowmorning. It is an actual folder in my iTunes media folder???
    I don't get it. I thought by checking the box in preferences (automatically add to iTunes) that it makes a copy of the file that I wanted to add and place it in my iTunes library. Then I throw away the original which I dragged into iTunes.
    So, i understand that is not the way to add files?
    But dragging into the folder 'automatically add to iTunes', does that mean that there are more than one copies of a file after adding?  Meaning...one in the 'automatically add to-folder' AND in the library? I only need one file....otherwise I wind up with several duplicates. Just one in iTunes library will do fine for me. There is backup elsewhere for files i need to keep....
    But anyway...thanx for the tip.  Will try this tomorrow, search for the automatically add to-folder and let you know!

  • HT3206 Why will PC no longer automatically ask to upload audio CD content into itunes? It simply stopped while I was importing CDs and will no longer add to library

    Trying to import CDs into itunes and after many years itunes suddenly stopped automatic upload?

    Okay, can someone please give a useful answer? Thanks! I have been experiencing exactly the same problem for some time now, and it is very annoying. Furthermore, I would like to point out to Chris CA that there is absolutely nothing ambiguous about the original post.
    So here is the deal. I used to be able to burn CDs with iTunes that played back fine on both my car and home stereo. After some update, and I am very sorry but I really do not remember which one, as I am just a user and not a programmer and just want something that works, which in the end Apple used to be all about, and therefore do not keep track of all the updates, CDs won't play back on my car stereo. Nothing else changed, still the same brand of CDs (even the same stack!), still the same car stereo, and still the same 2007 MBP. So by simple deduction I conclude it must be a software update. And I do not care what the exact cause is, I just want a fix!
    I'd like to apologize for my tone in the above, but it is just a very annoying problem, even more so because it seems nothing is being done about it. Thanks for your answer in advance!

  • HT1473 Stop automatic import of mp3 files

    Any time I add a new .mp3 file to my music folder, iTunes automatically adds it to my library and creates a new playlist for new songs downloaded that day.  This happens as soon as the file is added to the folder, before I even play it.  Is there a way I can stop this and only import songs into the library when I actually drag them in? 
    The music folder is not my "iTunes Media folder" location, and I've unchecked the copy files to iTunes option anyway. 

    That isn't a built-in feature of iTunes. Do you by chance have iTunes Folder Watch installed?

  • How can I get my iPad to play just one song from my playlist and then stop automatically?

    I am a music teacher and I use the iPod on my iPad to play songs in class.  I have a long playlist of songs to choose from in each class, and I want to play just one song at a time.  I want to be able to start one song from my playlist and then walk away from my iPad and have it stop automatically when that song is over.  (I know how to make it repeat the same song over and over, but tha'ts not what I need.  I also know how to push "pause," but I don't want to have to walk away from the children to do it.) How can I make it play one song from a playlist at a time?

    I don't believe that there is a way to do that except, perhaps, creating a separate Playlist for each song.

  • Stop videos from automatically playing

    When I navigate to any number of sites, videos sometimes up to 8 of them will all begin playing.  It's crazy.  I've lost control of my browser.  Is there a way to prevent videos, flash or otherwise from automatically playing.  I've already installed click to flash, but that only accounts for half the content being pushed at me.

    Hello,
    I am not sure which widget you are using but you can try the suggestions in the steps below to add videos to a muse site.
    Also make sure you have mp4 or webm file format.
    To import video in Muse you can use following steps.
    1. Import Video to Asset tab
    Go to File > Add Files to upload and select the file that you want to import. This will copy the file in asset tab in muse.
    2. Insert HTML code :
         a. Go to the page on which you want to place the video.
         b. Go to Object > Insert HTMl
         c. Paste the code mentioned below and update the <filename> with your file name
    <video width="320" height="240" controls>
       <source src="assets/<Filename>.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    </video>
    Hope this will help you what you desire to achieve.
    Regards

  • HT5295 How can I stop the auto play feature automatically playing/streaming the next podcast?

    How can I stop the auto play feature automatically playing/streaming the next podcast?

    Hi there.
    I listened to podcast there were two things I found that helped me out. Both we're in the podcast app itself.
    Firstly change the default sorting order. When looking at the list off episodes a available on your ios device tap on the description part at the top, this will bring up the settings for that podcast (subscribe mark as played etc) scroll to the Bottom and select oldest first. This will mean that if you are listening to the latest download it will stop at the end as there will be no more to play.
    Secondly, and useful if listening to older podcasts in the list, you can use the timer to stop once the current episode has ended. To do this when you are in the podcast playback screen slide the "album artwork" up, revealing the playback options and nifty tape playing animation this is where you adjust playback speed and set a timer. The timer has a number of options to set playback to stop after set amount of time. However one of these options is to stop once the current episode you are listening to ends. This can also be current chapter if the podcast you are listening to supports chapters.
    Hope this helps, if not clear let me know

  • How can I stop videos on websites from automatically playing?

    On many sites like Forbes and Accuweather, videos automatically start playing when I load the site. Not only is this annoying, the video also draws unnecessary bandwidth when I tether from my Verizon smartphone.
    Is there any way through Firefox to prevent autoplay of videos on websites?
    There used to be a plugin available, but no longer.
    http://just-ask-kim.com/stop-auto-play-videos-audios-firefox/

    Adblock Plus can also block some of them if you never want to see them again.
    But you could also use this option from Firefox:
    Type in the address bar:
    ''about:config''
    Then search for:
    ''plugins.click_to_play''
    Double click and it will be set to true.

  • Hot do I play just one podcast and stop automatically?

    I'd like to be able to play a single podcast and then stop. If the podcast is one of several, it will play them sequentially according to the date. It will automatically play the next podcast even if it's already been listened to.
    I would like to to stop after one play. Shuffle and repeat are off.

  • How do I stop iphoto from creating events automatically when I import photos from an external hard drive?

    IPhoto is creating events automatically when I import photos and when I merge events and then go to finder>all images, I see iphoto has created several copies of each picture....I try to delete the extra copies but then the albums or events also get affected, even if there is one copy of each photo left in all images...have someone had this problem?

    You don't have a problem at all.
    IPhoto is creating events automatically when I import photos
    This is how iPhoto works. Every photo is in an Event. Events are the basic organisation of the Library. Every import means at least one new Event. Yes you can merge Events after import and so on, but there is at least one Event created at each import.
    I see iphoto has created several copies of each picture....
    No it hasn't. It hs created versions of the photos, not copies. There will be a couple of thumbnails  for viewing in the iPhoto Window plus the Master and then a edited version for pics that are modified. The icons for each of these may be similar but they are not copies - for a start they are different sizes - and all are required for iPhoto to work.
    go to finder>all images
    Don't. This is simply a list of all the images on your computer. It makes no account or allowance for the purpose of these images. Really, if you're using iPhoto ignore this because if you
    I try to delete the extra copies
    Then you are trashing your Library.
    So, this is how iPhoto works, there is no problem and stay away from All Images.
    Regards

  • Issues with import server : MDIS stops automatically

    Hello Experts,
    We are facing a critical issue, our MDIS server gets stopped automatically. Evan after restarting along with DB, the issue is not solved. We thought it might be some memory issues, but it is not, we cleared the old files from archive folder and from logs also, still when we start the MDIS it gets stopped in few minutes, we are not able to solve the issue,.. Have any one faced similar issue or clue or any guess how this can be sorted out?
    Thanks
    Vinoth

    hi Vinothkumar
    the MDIS is stopped with the MDS stopping or only the MDIS is stopped.
    1.when the MDIS is stopped,what operations do you perform,and please check the MDIS log as well as the MDS log.
    2.also,check the MDIS ini and MDS ini parameters,make sure they are configured properly.
    3.clear up your port files,including the ready,exception and archive folders.then try to restart your MDS,MDIS,MDSS.
    please get the results for further analysis.
    best regards

  • Automatically playing a CD upon import process

    In an earlier version of iTunes, it would begin playing a CD as you import it... actually right after the first song was done importing, iTunes would start playing the imported album. I can't find any setting for that and it appears that it doesn't function that way any longer which totally *****. Can someone confirm this or tell me how to change this setting?

    This was one of the preference settings that were omitted in the last couple of iTunes revisions. You can fix this.
    Open the "Terminal" app in your applications -> utilities folder. Copy the following command and paste it in the terminal window. After you paste, tap the "return" key.
    defaults write com.apple.iTunes play-songs-while-importing -bool TRUE
    If you want other missing other preferences, here are the terminal commands for them. To reverse a command, retype the command changing TRUE to FALSE or vice-versa.
    *Play songs while importing or converting*
    defaults write com.apple.iTunes play-songs-while-importing -bool TRUE
    *Don't show genre when browsing*
    defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-genre-when-browsing -bool FALSE
    *Don't show links to the iTunes Store*
    defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-store-arrow-links -bool FALSE
    *Don't create filenames with track number*
    defaults write com.apple.iTunes create-filenames-with-tracknumber -bool FALSE
    *Enable 1/2 Star rating*
    defaults write com.apple.iTunes allow-half-stars -bool TRUE

  • Preventing automatic playback of imported video

    This is a pretty basic question, but I was wondering if there
    was a way prevent a video clip that was imported into flash from
    automatically playing. I tried putting a simple stop action on that
    frame but that did not work. Any suggestions?

    In case you using the FLVPlayback component just go to the
    parameters panel and set the "autoPlay" to false
