Can't get background music to stop playing now!! Irritating..

Don't know where this music is coming from. Obviously something I "opened" in the last couple of days, but I don't know what site I was at.

Very curious behavior.  Open the Home folder in the Finder, hold down the option key while clicking on the Go command at the top, and choose Library.  In Library, locate the Preferences folder, and then the com.apple.mail.plist file and remove it.
This should cure, but there are lots of new and possibly redundant files in the structure of the Mail folder in the Library, and so there may be another source of this setting -- we will see.

  • How can I get a .swf to stop playing using a button?

    I've placed two .swf files inside my InDesign CC doc. and would like to control them using specifically created 'play' and 'stop' buttons. My InDesign file will be / is exported as a .swf also, as it has animations and interactivity.
    One .swf is a looping animation (created in a separate InDesign doc.) and the other is a Captivate file published as a .swf.
    When I create a 'play' button to play the .swf it works as expected, however when I create a 'stop' button and assign the Action 'Stop' or 'Stop All' it does not work and the .swf continues to play on the page.
    When I change page within my InDesign document the two .swf's continue to play; I know this because despite not being able to see them still playing (as I'm on a new page now), one of the .swf's - the Captivate file - has audio and continues to play on the new page I'm viewing.
    When I return to the page where the two .swf files are located they appear to have stopped and can be re-played, but what is actually happening is that the .swf's are still playing in the background with the option to press play for the same two .swf's - meaning I'll have a total of 4 .swf's playing at the same time - two behind the original two.
    I know there is a similar 'unload' issue when playing a .swf inside a swf. in Flash and that you can create ActionScipt to either unloadAll or killAudio but I don't know how to resolve this with InDesign as I'm not aware of either being able to access the InDesign code or there being an actual fix for this.
    Would appreciate some help, if possible.
    Thanks.
    James.

    Hmmm. Behind the safari window? Try command-tab for quicktime X and bring to the front?  Quit all apps and start over?

  • How can i get my iPod to stop playing after it finishes an episode?  At one time I could do this and fall asleep listening to my podcast but now it keeps playing and the battery is dead in the morning.

    why won't my iPod stop after finishing episodes.  It keeps playing.

    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
    On the iPod you can enable a sleep timer: Settings -> Extras -> Alarms -> Sleep Timer.

    it recognizes the iPOD but I can't get any of the new songs to import to the iPOD
    are you getting an error message, Odessa? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
    if you're not getting an error message, describe what happens when you try to transfer songs to the ipod as best you can.

  • I can't get my music to play in my itunes. It comes with a exclamation mark next to the song numbers and says that the original songs can't be played cause cant find the file. How do I get the songs back? (I found the files)

    I can't get my music to play in my itunes. It comes with a exclamation mark next to the song numbers and says that the original songs can't be played cause cant find the file. How do I get the songs back? (I found the files

    You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because  iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
    The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
    The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
    The song file has been deleted
    The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
    If you use an external drive, a change in drive letter is a common cause and you need to change it back.
    AS a way of working out what has happened, right click on a track and select the summary tab (you will have to go past an error message). The summary tab will tell you where iTunes thinks the track is located. How does that compare with where the track actually is?
    The xml library file is not used by iTunes, it is created to allow other programs to access the library. You can recreate the iTl file from the xml file, but there is no point if the location of the files is wrong.
    There is a simple way of getting you music back in iTunes, but it loses all playlists counts and rating. To do this drag iTunes library.itl and iTunes Library.xml to your desktop. Then open iTunes and an empty library is created. Add you iTunes Media folder to it.
    If you can't work out what went wrong and how to fix it, you may have to do this.

  • HT1454 Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic.  I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play

    Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic.  I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod.   It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

    Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod?  Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

    Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications.  I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone.  I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups.  I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either.  Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

  • How can I get iTunes to locate and play all my music files?

    How can I get iTunes to locate and play all my music files?

    I have this problem too. I am researching now. Here is what I know so far. If you right click a song then get ifo the it will say Protected AAC or purchased AAC. Protected wont play on sonos, purchased will play on sonos. It seems that all my protected were purchased 2005 to 2009 or so. I am trying to find out if apply will convert these for a small dfee or if I use the itunes cloud these tunes will convert for me. downloading and reloading is not an option for me. Pretty much a money grab by apple either way. I am sure Steve is smiling.

  • How can i get my iphone to automatically play music after watching a video or something that requires audio

    I Have a iphone 5 and was wondering if there is a way i can get my music to automatically play again after watching a video or something that requires audio

    Is the jack not fitting into the top of the iPhone?
    If so then you would need this adapter for it to fit properly.

    I tried the hard start and still the same! If I go under artist
    I can get it to start playing one song. Then if I try shuffle
    Nothing !! Then I can't get it to play anymore.
    Very annoying

  • I just created a slide show with music and tried to export it to a thumb drive to play on another computer.  File seemed too large and slow to export, so I deleted the music. Now, I can't get the music back on it and don't know what to do...

    Can't export my slide show.  Is the file too big? Tried to export without music.  Now, can't get the music back into it.

  • How can I get my ES2 loops to play correctly? I keep getting the message that the audio is not found when I drag the loops from my audio browser even though they play fine in the preview.

    How can I get my ES2 loops to play correctly? I keep getting the message that the audio is not found when I drag the loops from my audio browser even though they play fine in the preview.

    It's exactly as I stated. Whenever I try to drag these kinds of loops (ESX24 / software instrument loops? the ones marked in green with the white music note next to them) from the loop browser into the timeline a message comes up saying Audio Not Found for that loop.  And a new track is created automatically when loops are dragged into the timeline, so I'm not creating some other random / synth instrument track so I'm not sure  what the deal is... But perhaps I'll try creating a software instrument track first and then drag the loop into that track and see what happens - maybe there's something with the default settings that automatically creates audio tracks whenever loops are imported?
