Whats the check box good for?

Greetings!
I'm on a Monday roll. I got bit by a context menu so far so now lets try the check box.
I've always been under the impression that the check box was an include/exclude thing its either on or off.
Instance I was trying to burn a cd from a playlist and it went over. So I would un-check boxes for items in the list and try to re-burn the cd. Even after clearly it telling me I had less time and space itunes was still trying to burn the 'unchecked' items.
So .... what are the check boxes good for?? I'm sure I'm going to feel really dumb when the answer is presented.
Thanks for your time .. on a ridiculous question!
Dave

*I guess I haven't put enough thought into creating a playlist to contain every song I would like to play at a given time.*
By checking/unchecking songs, you alreay are doing it, except instead of having them in a neat, tidy playlist or two, you have the whole library to go thru.
Here's how I do it.
It's very simple to get new music and my favorites onto the iPod, once set it up.
I have a few playlist I sync.
One is a regular playlist (iPod Music) with all the music I always want on my iPod.
I also create a smart playlist.
The criteria are.
Match all rules;
Playlist is not iPod music (this keeps from selecting songs I already have)
My rating is not 1 star (keeps off stuff I rate one star)
Have not heard in last two weeks (rotates older music)
Limit selection to 2GB by Random (the size is set to the iPod total size minus iPod music playlist size).
Then I select the iPod, click the Music tab.
Tick Sync music and choose Selected playlists in the drop down.
Tick the two playlists above.
I add/delete from the iPod Music playlist to always sync this music.
Once a week or so, depending on how much I have listened to the iPod, select the smart playlist.
Select all the songs and press Delete. Since it's a smart playlist, it will automatically fill up again with new music based on the criteria.
Then I sync the iPod.
(I really gotta start a blog with this info in it since I type it a bunch...)

  • What is the check box column for in iTunes?

    I just upgraded to the latest version of iTunes (11 something).  Now the checked songs on the Music/Song page do not sync with my iphone.  I have to go to a separate page to select what I want to sync with my phone and if it's not my whole library I have to recheck everything manually.  Why isn't this just what I have already checked on my Music/Song page, like in older versions?  Now I have to start from scratch and the sync page isn't even by song, it's by album.  I don't want to sync every song in each album as this takes up too much space on my iphone.  So I don't understand what the point is of the check box column now since it's purpose seems to have been made redundant.  If I uncheck the box, the song now disappears completely.  It used to still be on my list but just was unchecked.  Where does the song go now?  And how can I get it back?  If there is any sort of support documentation on these features/functions, please point me to the link as I could not find anything on the apple site. 

    Check marks can be used to mark out tracks that you rarely want to listen to but still want to keep in your library, e.g. a bonus interview track at the end of an album. Unchecked tracks are usually excluded from syncing to devices, skipped during track to track playback and ingored when shuffling. To easily check or uncheck all tracks hold the ctrl key down while clicking a checkbox.

  • Componentlist and what the components are good for

    Hello,
    I am searching for an overview of the NW's '"standard" component and it's meaning to recognize which components I need to update and what they are used for.
    Has someone seen something like this?
    Thank you, Maximilian

    Hi,
    As per my understanding you are trying to find and update the software components in the SAP system.
    You can find ABAP side components in SPAM display all packages.
    If for java the go to http://ipaddress:5xx00\index.html
    Then navigate to system info it will show you all the java components present in your system,
    And you have to aptch all this components.

  • Very elementary....what is the check box for in itunes?

    Would someone please enlighten me on the functionality of the check boxes next to items in itunes? I check several songs I want to delete and then click Edit>Delete but only the ONE ITEM selected by the cursor is deleted. OK, so I know how to do shift-click to select a number of items then click Edit>Delete, but what in the dog-gone world is the check box for?!? when I search for help on "Check Box" no results are found. Also, if you like to show me how non intuitive I am by demonstrating how to find this solution in the Help menu, I would love to learn something from the exercise. Otherwise, I'm going to believe, beyond belief, that the itunes help is not very helpful!
    Thanks, inspite of this insanely simple problem!
    Alan

    you can multiple select songs from your list by using the CTRL or SHIFT keys, and then you can right-click on the selected items and choose delete.
    the check box is actually for auto-syncing; which means that if you have some songs checked in your library, then you connect your ipod, those checked songs will automatically update on your ipod, or transfered. (of course, thats only true if you have the auto-sync option selected, and not manual update).
    another thing for the checked box; if you change anything to the song like ID tags, or artwork, .... they will automatically be changed and updated on that song on the ipod next time you plug it in.
    i found out that this check box thing is useful if you wanna update your ipod ONLY with the new songs added recently to your library. this way, your ipod wont update all songs, it will only do the ones checked.
    you can also right click on a bunch of songs and choose check selection, or uncheck selection.
    hope i didnt forget anything, and i hope that helps.

  • I keep getting the message: "what should firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

    cor-el,
    Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

  • Firefox security settings will not save any of my passwords even when i click on the check box for saving passwords. please help.

    When a pop-up comes up on the screen it will ask to save my password or not, well, I click on save password but it doesnt save any passwords even when I have the check box checked for remembering my passwords for certain sites it will not save any type of passwords at all. What am I doing wrong? I am using linux-mac OS user.

    Simply because I don't think about using this option that takes more time to close... I always close ALL my windows with the X.
    Firefox doesn't hang at exit also...
    Using Firefox / Exit doesn't always save the bookmarks also... let's say there is 80% chances it will but not always... I noticed the first time I open firefox after booting the computer... Bookmarks won't be saved... But if I close firefox and re-open it, then it might save it... 50% guess...
    I tried the safe mode, but since its closing firefox and re-open it... new saved bookmarks sometimes work, sometimes don't... it's pretty unstable...
    Hopefully there is a solution to this problem in a near update, annoying... else I will simply reverse to firefox 3.6.16

  • Why is the check box for remember passwords grayed out? It used to work now it won't save them.

    Why is the check box for remember passwords grayed out? It used to work now it won't save them.

    It could be because you have Firefox set to not remember any history. Did you do that intentionally? It is set in the Options dialog:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
    Perhaps it would work if you choose "Use custom settings for history" and just turn off the specific things you want to turn off.
    Any luck?

    I am good  I am OK   I am bad   I am confusedIf so, why? If not, show us the required layout.
    Help us to help you. When you have a problem you should provide as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
    <li>Full APEX version
    <li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
    <li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
    <li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
    <li>Theme
    <li>Template(s)
    <li>Region/item type(s) (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
    With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.

  • How to install Windows on MAC? (Can't see the check box "Install or remove Windows 7 or later version" on Boot Camp Assistant)

    I want to install Windows 7 on my MBP mid 2012 but in Boot Camp does not appear the check box: "Install or remove Windows 7 or later version". I continued with making the USB bootable with Windows 7 but then when I restart and boot with the USB I still can't install Windows because then I receive an error: ""Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of GPT partition style."  
    From OS with Boot Camp I didn't manage to make a partition for Windows instead I made one with Disk Utility (formated FAT).
    After booting from USB that partition was also formated into NTFS necessary for Windows. Still the same error.
    Any idea how to install Windows on my MAC?
