Stopping It From Adding Songs Twice

Okay, I added a new song to my library. Drag and dropped the library to my ipod, and it said sending 1-53(to my ipod) and preceeded to add about 50 songs that i already had on my ipod, AGAIN. How do you stop this from happening?
p.s. I changed NO song titles, artists, etc.
Thanks again

Kyle,
Unless I'm missing something obvious here (and apologies if I am), if you already have your songs from the iTunes library on your iPod, and you drag and drop the library to your iPod a second time, why wouldn't it duplicate the songs?

How to stop iTunes from adding songs to library automatically???

I love iTunes and almost everything about it. Pretty much the one and only complaint with it is that every time I download a music file (not to my music folder), iTunes can be completely shut down, but starts up and adds the file to my library. I download a LOT of random files that I listen to once and delete immediately, or I will download music to one folder and move it to my music folder at a later date, so having iTunes automatically adding all of these files to the library on its own free will is going to force me to uninstall it. Is there any way to stop iTunes from doing this?????? Even if it were to just add the files only if I played them in iTunes vs any file I add my my computer?

I think you aked this before and didn't get an answer. I don't really know, but here goes.
Any thing iTunes plays it adds to the library and I guess that iTunes is set as your default player for the type of file you are downloading.
You don't say exactly what you are doing but you are using another program to download music files. I am guessing that somewhere in the Options or Settings of the program you are using there is a setting to play after downloading, maybe you can turn that off?

How do I stop Itunes from adding songs to my library?

Is there anyway to make Itunes not automatically add songs to my library upon retrieving them? The second I download a song onto my computer, Itunes automatically adds it to the library. Is there a way to turn this off, or a place I can download to that Itunes can't access?

Soulgazer,
If you are downloading from the iTunes Store, the song will always go to your iTunes library.
If you are downloading from another website, the behavior is controlled by a setting in your browser. For example, if you use Firefox, go to Options > Applications and make sure that the MP3s are set for "Always Ask." By doing this, the songs will be downloaded to your computer, but no action will be taked until you do something manually.

ITunes Security - Keeping the babysitter from adding songs to iTunes Lib.

This is a nube question, but is there a way to limit access to the iTunes program so that anyone can play from the library but not add to it? Password protection for additions perhaps?
This question is the result of a babysitter who brought over her MP3 CD collection. I now see all of the songs she played in the iTunes Library.
My main concern is to make sure that her songs are not anywhere on my computer (for the obvious legal reasons... and also because I don't enjoy that type of music).
I currently have 6GB of legit music that I don't want to remove, so if there is an automatic way to remove all of her music (at once) by date entered it would also be helpful. I also do not see a folder for her music within the iTunes folder.
Thank you,

Well to remove her songs that were added to iTUnes. open iTunes in the main library, hit the "Date added" Header to organize the list by date. Then seect the first song of hers, hold down the ctrl key and selct each one of hers. after that let go of the key and rightclick then select "Clear". this will claer them off iTunes and if the songs are actually on your PC you will get a message asking if you want to move them to the recycle bin, click yes and then empty the recycle bin.
I don't know how to stop iTunes from adding things, But if you allow the babysitter on your PC, you may want to consider setting up user accounts on your PC in windows. You can do this by going to the control panel and selecting "User Accounts". you can turn on the "Guest" account or set up a user account for him/her. This would allow you to lock or password protect folders, and lock the CD drive from being used.
iTunes comes with a "Share" feature that will allow her to listen to your music on her account. you will have to move or copy your songs to the "Shared Documents" folder tho I think.

How do I stop messaging from adding a 1 to a 10 digit number?

It is clean, I set up the contacts card, and reentered the 10 digit number after the second fail message.
I entered: xxxxxxxxxx and the display on my contact card is (xxx) xxx-xxxx.
Might the carrier-provider be the issue?
Thank-you.

Mac OS X: Double-Clicking a File Opens the Wrong Application - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2291
-= Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind (written with reference to OSX 10.4 but may not have changed) =-
1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
7) Close the get info window.

How do I stop iTunes from adding music on network shares?

I find no way to stop iTunes from looking at network shares and therefore I have 2 copies of all mu music. I have a home network server and have a backup of my ripped music there. But I darn well don't want to have two copies showing up in iTunes and on my iPod.
I find no options in preferences that seem to be related. Everything is off in the Sharing tab. what am I missing?

How do I stopi-Tunes from downloading songs on my device which I did not order and which I then have to delete?

How can I stop i-Tunes from downloading songs on my device which I did not order and which I then have to delete because I do not want it?

Does swiping/dragging across the tracks from right-to-left (or possibly left-to-right depending upon the iOS version) in the Downloads tab in the iTunes store app stop them downloading ?
If it's the U2 album Songs of Innocence then : http://itunes.com/soi-remove
If it's a different album/tracks and you didn't buy them, and nobody else has access to your account and/or devices and bought them, then contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Stopping apps from adding Scheduled Tasks?

I'm getting tired of opening the Task Scheduler and finding a dozen tasks added by various programs larding up my computer. Install Flash and suddenly there's a new task to check for updates. Ditto for just about every other downloaded app.
Is there a way to prevent software from adding Scheduled Tasks on their own without completely disabling the Task Scheduler?
It certainly seems like a nasty security hole deliberately left open by Microsoft that could be easily abused, and should be plugged in future versions of Windows. At the very least, Task Scheduler should WARN me when an app requests permission to add a
scheduled task.
For now, I'd be satisfied with a .Reg file to disable/enable the ability to add Scheduled Tasks that I can run when needed.
Anyone? TIA.

Clever idea, but sadly, doesn't work. :(
It does work!
I used this command from an elevated command prompt:
cacls.exe c:\windows\system32\tasks /t /g everyone:R
To reverse the process you would use this command:
cacls.exe c:\windows\system32\tasks /t /g Everyone:r System:F Administrators:F
To allow tasks in the Microsoft folder to be created or modified, use this command as the last command:
cacls.exe c:\windows\system32\tasks\Microsoft /t /g Everyone:r System:F Administrators:F

How to stop HRALXSYNC from adding incorrect BP relationships in BUT050

We have recently upgraded from EBP 3.5 to SRM Server 5.0. We are replicating HR Org Structure changes from our backend ECC 5.0 system into our SRM Server 5.0 system.
Since the upgrade we have seen incorrect additioinal BP relationships showing up in table BUT050 each night we run HRALXSYNC.
The relationships are between BPs of the User and the BP of an unrelated Org Unit. The BPs are real and good, but the User and Org unit should not be related.
We used to see about 5 good records created in BUT050 each night. Now we are seeing a total of 100 to 300 entries added each night. We are increasingly seeing User BPs with multiple Org unit BPs related.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Kyle

How stop firefox from adding "+" to the filename when open files

lets say I open a word.doc file.
Its filename is "file folder one.doc"
Firefox makes it "file+folder+one.doc"
it is very annoying - just started showing up and I cannot figure out how to turn off.
Please make it stop!!!

You are opening a DOC file from disk into Firefox?
Do you see the spaces in the file name replaced with + characters in the address bar or somewhere else?
