This question has been on my mind for quite some time...

I've been an avid user of iTunes for nearly a year now, and I used it even before I purchased my new Mac.
This has been bugging me like a piece of gum stuck to my shoe, so I have to ask: Sporatically and erratically, when I drag albums, artists, or songs to a specific playlists, iTunes will automatically start playing the first song from the dragged artist/album or the song itself. I HATE this. I don't know why it happens so randomly, too. I can add/delete all I want for hours on end and it won't happen - other times, it happens nearly everytime I add a new album/artist/song to a playlist. It wouldn't be annoying, except that I'm always listening to some other music on iTunes at the time, and thus when iTunes starts playing another song from my dragged selection, it HIGHLY annoys me.
I've looked in the preferences window and can't find an option of any sort that can help me. What do I want, or rather, don't want? I don't want iTunes to start playing a song from a dragged selection when I add it to a playlist. I want it to avoid that. Am I out of luck as far as controlling this erratic beast? I've only used Macs since June of this year and I do not remember this happening with my horrible Windows version of iTunes at all.
Please help.

What version of iTunes? In 6.0.1, you can go to iTunes/preferences/advanced/importing and uncheck "play songs while importing". It will be slightly different with earlier versions of iTunes, but the wording should be similar enough.

Lightroom Mobile app says I'm running on a trial but I have been using LR 5 for quite some time now on my laptop. Will my trial expire and roll over to my account, or will I have to pay?

I just installed the app on my phone and the question is above.
Thanks all!

To clarify, a subscription to the PS+LR Photography Plan has a different LR license than your current serial-number-licensed LR, and each license-type can be installed on 2 computers, so you could have LR on up to four computers, two of which can be running the CC licensed version of LR along with the CC-licensed version of PS, and two running the serial-number-licensed LR without PS-CC.
If you have your catalog and photos on an external drive that you can swap between the various computers, then you could use any of the up-to-four to work with your photos. You could also have as separate catalog on each of the up-to-four computers, but then syncing would get complicated if you try to do that on more than one LR catalog, I think, though I could be wrong, because I only use LR Mobile with one catalog, currently.

I noticed this question has been asked a lot, but I still do not understand. How do I get my ALL of my iTunes music onto iCloud. I have already subscribed to match and increased my icloud storage. Only some of my music is in the cloud, not on iphone

I have noticed that this question has been asked a lot, but I am still not understanding. How do I move ALL of my music on iTunes into iCloud? I have subscribed to match and increased my iCloud storage. Only part of my music is in the Cloud and not on my iPhone.

I know this question has been asked before a long time ago but NO Answer

Hello, This question has been asked before but no answer so I thought I'd ask it again since it's been a few years..
How can I replace the folder icons in a Picture Library with a thumbnail of a photo in a folder? I know I can do something very similar in the 'getting started' list by using a 'Promoted Links List' does the picture library
use the same type of methold? I'd like to see a thumbnail of one of the photos instead of a yellow file folder.
Thank you,
Joan

Been using an ipad 2 without passcode for quite some time. While upgrading to ios 7, I enabled Find Iphone on the Ipad. It asked for passcode and I gave one. Now I forgot it.

Been using an ipad 2 without passcode for quite some time. While upgrading to ios 7, I enabled Find Iphone on the Ipad. It asked for passcode and I gave one. Now I forgot it. Connected it iTunes (on my windows 8 system) with which I sync and that too required an update as old version of itunes cannot read ios7. Problem is itunes does not want to get updated. Some vague error on not having right to write a file in ProgramData folder wheras as an admin i have full rights. Next I downloaded the install file from itunes site - no luck it would not install. Then I tried to remove itunes - it does not want to go. Am at wits end... Is the option only to restore it as a new Ipad?

Place the iPhone into recovery mode and restore the iPhone with iTunes on your computer.

Ipad receiving emails but they do not come on to the mac for quite some time

Hi My Ipad is receiving my emails, the alert sounds, but the Mac doesn't receive them for quite some time after, is there a reason for this and how can I overcome the problem.I've just sent two emails and the response to both are on the Ipad, which is next to my computer, and I can see the Mac isn't showing anything in my inbox!!!!
Regards
Richard

Hi Thanks to everyone for their help, I've checked what has been advised, for some unknown reason both Ipad ans Mac receiving emails at the same time. I do apply rules to my incomming mail, due to the fact of persistent male medical tablets advice !!!!!! from certain sites and also people needing money! Idid check there and deleted the last rule, whether something I did in that particular rule gave this problem I will never know. Do you think adding rules in mail preferences is the correct way to stop unwanted mail or is there a better way?

Have searched Forums for quite some time now. Cannot find a correct answer to: how do I prevent my old email address from appearing as the "from:" address

Have searched Forums for quite some time now. Cannot find a correct answer to: how do I prevent my old email address from appearing as the "from:" address when I use a "send this" link on a webpage/news article. The email window opens and automatically inserts my old Hotmail address instead of the Yahoo address I've used for a long time. (The drop-down won't let me change it or delete it.) Thanks.

Do you get a drop down list with suggestions if you clear that "from" field and click elsewhere on that page to move the focus off that field and then double-click again in that field or start typing the first letters of that unwanted email address?
Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop down list:
#Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
#Highlight an entry in the drop down list
#Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

Open Media Encoder and add your Sequences:
File > Add Premiere Pro Sequence
Navigate to your Premiere Project and select it in the list.
You can then select multiple Sequences from the Project (Ctrl+Click)
and load them all at once into Media Encoder and apply
the same encoding preset to all Sequences at the same time.

I turned my iphone 3gs off and when i went to turn it back on it just stays on the apple logo and has been like that for quite some times

Hello, my phone was being slow so i turned it off. when i went to turn it back on it did the usually white apple logo but it has been on that logo for 15 or more minutes now what do i do?

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

I have been synching my iphone with my outlook calendar on my pc wireless and successfully for quite some time. Suddenly, the events I enter on my iphone go on the iphone, the icloud, but do not appear on my pc outlook calendar. Help!

I have been successfully synching my iphone and pc using outlook for some time, using the icloud. suddenly, events entered on my iphone, although they are transferred to the icloud, do not appear on my outlook calendar on my pc. Entering events on my pc does add them to the icloud and my iphone. Is there a setting that I may have changed that would allow the icloud to add iphone items to the outlook calendar?

I finally got it to work.
mjbart, here are the steps I took in Win7 to fix everything. (All has been working perfectly now for several days).
I went to the iCloud Control Panel on Win7 and signed out. That asked me if I "wanted to keep a copy of my iCloud Contacts, calendars, and tasks?".
I responded by clicking on the "Delete from Computer" button, which then advised that I would lose my Contact Groups if I continued, so I then clicked on the "Save Contact Groups" button.
After all the dust settled, I then Signed back into iCloud via the Winndows Control Panel and checked the Contacts and Calendars boxes.
After a few moments all devices were properly synced and synchronizing.
So far so good. Hope this works for others!

BBC Radio on iTunes - Sorry, I know this question has been asked a lot

Hi all,
I'm having trouble searching the forum for an answer, so I'll pose the question which I'm sure has been answered many times in the past.
The BBC's audio streams are fantastic. Now that I've installed the "Remote" on my iPod Touch, I'm keen to listen to their streams in iTunes rather than the BBC iPlayer.
Is it possible to add any of their streams to iTunes? At minimum, the Worldservice?
Steve

I have also wondered about this. Want to hear the world service without opening RealPlayer or Safari. Tried to open a stream with the adress from RealPlayer, but that didn't work. Maybe iTunes doesn't support RealAudio? Also tried the adresse you get when opening a stream from BBC Radio's homepage, but that didn't work either. This stream should be in windows media format. I have got Flip for Mac installed and updated. Any ideas out there?

Maybe this question has been found already, but I have yet to find the answer. How can I restore my bookmarks after it has been deleted from my 'bookmarkbackups' folder?

So it has been a couple months now since I last cleaned up my bookmarks toolbar. And I could remember a couple of bookmarks tabs I wish I did not delete. I found some articles saying I could try restoring previous versions of my bookmarks from the dates of recent system restore points. But the earliest date I found was of only last week's. I've checked everywhere in my Firefox profile for anything that I could restore to date back into that time, but they too only tracked back as early as last week. I believe the automatic backups Firefox had made during that time has now long been deleted from the system in order to make room for my most current ones. How am I going to be able to retrieve those bookmarks when their aren't any backups available now to restore from?

If you do not have backups of your bookmarks, either in the bookmarkbackups folder or saved elsewhere, then you can't restore your bookmarks.
For future prevention: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox

This question has been on my mind for quite some time...
