How do I stop podcasts from playing automatically on my Apple TV instead of my computer?

When I try to watch a video podcast on my computer, it will automatically connect to my Apple TV via AirPlay and try to play it there (even though I have just double-clicked it on my computer). But sometimes I just want to play it on my computer, not on the Apple TV. Once it does go to Apple TV, then I have to go to the bottom of the computer screen and switch from Apple TV to computer. But I would prefer not to have to do this, since the process needlessly turns on my Apple TV every time (and sometimes my Apple TV doesn't work properly, meaning that if the connection can't get established, I can't watch the podcast at all because it won't just let me play on my computer from the beginning). How do I prevent it from automatically going to the Apple TV every time, and just get it to play on my computer? I feel like I've looked at every setting. Thanks

Is there something in particular you don't like in the newer versions? Also, you can give feedback about firefox at [https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback/firefox? input.mozilla.org].
'''Turning off updates for firefox isn't a good idea''', as each release contains security fixes that are disclosed to the public. However, you can if you want to. Go to the firefox preferences (type about:preferences in the url bar), choose the "advanced" tab, and then choose "update". You can then select "never check for updates".
</blockquote>
I don't want to turn off updates. I want hotshot programmers to N-O-T configure Firefox to CHANGE what I have set up on my computer. I want them to N-O-T remove stuff from Firefox that I use every day. I can't even remember what they called that list of options in the upper left of the screen, but I used it regularly. Now it is ripped out. $&^*&&^%$#@
I guarantee you, if somebody had sat down at MY computer and removed those features, I would have beat him bloody. WHY DO SOME HOTSHOTS SOMEWHERE THINK THEY KNOW BETTER THEN i DO WHAT i NEED??????
DON'T force me to use my computer as you use yours. Give me the OPTIONS to choose. Options. Not YOUR WAY - options.
Like I said, it looks to me like you're trying to impress hot shots some where. Don't destroy perfectly good applications in the process. Give S-O-M-E thought to what non-geeks NEED.
AND when pseudo answering complaints, give us the chance to talk to somebody, not que up on a yet another pick list of off subject nonsense.

  • How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?

    Simple and annoying. . Extremely frustrating issue with Firefox for Android. ..
    I watch a YouTube video or any flash video. . And after I hit play, the ONLY way to stop it is to hit pause or let it play to the end or close the tab. .
    It will NOT automatically stop if I open another tab. or if I navigate from Firefox. .
    I feel this is a very basic feature. Did I set something up that was wrong?
    Can I ask two questions?
    I have another extremely annoying and frustrating problem with Firefox for Android.
    The "top" (if you pull down the tabs) search bar DOES NOT allow my stock Samsung keyboard to auto space. . Thus instead of typing
    "How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?"
    I'll type in
    "HowdoIstopFirefoxfromplayingvideoafterInavigatefromthepageorleaveFirefox?"
    Unless I manually got the space bar.
    Using a recently factory data reset Samsung Galaxy s4 active.. android 4.2.2 and stock Samsung keyboard ... Firefox 34.0.1
    Thanks in advanced.
    Ps
    I was a hardcore xscope user for years and just recently gave in to Firefox when i lost all my bookmarks due to a forced factory data reset. .

    I'm using a different keyboard which works fine in the most top search bar...
    I cannot believe that it's not a feature.
    What if I was watching a video and wanted to shut it off quickly? I'll have to hit back? Wait for the previous screen to load then hit the power button?
    Please tell me that feature ids soon to come

  • Stop music from playing automatically

    I have some music files on my website (at http://www.opusonejazz.com/Opus%20One%20Vocal%20Jazz%20Ensemble/Music%20Samples. html), which apparently from a report I have gotten play automatically on some peoples computers (i don't know their system specs). I don't have the files set to play automatically-I checked the Javascript file.
    How can I prevent the clips from playing automatically, no matter what a user's settings are?
    Thanks!

    Your music file are set to not autoplay and your images used in your page are nearly as large in file size as them.
    http://www.opusonejazz.com/Opus%20One%20Vocal%20Jazz%20Ensemble/Images/Opus%20On e%27s%20First%20Photo.JPG
    Over 1.5 MB's when it should be 20 KB's. Use something to reduce that file size and don't place so many files on the same page.

  • How can I stop Firefox from loading automatically when I startup my computer?

    A while ago I setup Windows so Outlook and Firefox opened automatically when I log on. Now I want to stop FF from opening automatically. I have gone into the Startup folder and removed the shortcut to FF several times but it keeps coming back. I changed the name of Mozilla Firefox in the Windows Programs Directory to xxMozilla Firefox and that didn't keep it from loading. If necessary, I will remove FF from my computer altogether but I would rather not do that.

    Aaarg! I tried Matt's suggestion of using msconfig, restarted my computer, and it seemed to solve the problem. Today when I turned on the computer it hung up before loading Windows. I had to use the F12 button to get it to load. I did and it did and Firefox did not load.
    Now, this evening, I turned on the computer, the startup procedure was normal, and there's Firefox fired up and ready to go!

  • How do you stop ITunes from syncing automatically every time I attach a device?

    I have the option box checked that is supposed to stop devices from syncing automatically, yet ITunes STILL insists on syncing the devices automatically and overwriting gigabytes of data.  I've had to spend hours finding everything again after ITunes has synced when I don't want it to.  Needless to say, this is INCREDIBLY frustrating.

    I no longer need an answer to this question. I didn't directly solve the problem but it solved when I was fixing something else.

  • How do I stop Podcasts from disappearing as soon as I play them

    Hello, I an very new to Itunes. I am planning on buying a Ipod touch. So I downloaded and installed Itunes 8 on Windows Vista 64. Itunes imported all my podcasts from my zune. I started listening to the podcasts using Itunes and I have this problem. When I start listening to a podcast, the podcast immediatly is deleted from the list. Even before I have listened to it. If I switch to another podcast I cannot go back to the original one because it is gone.
    How do I stop this behavior? I would like to manually delete the podcasts if it is not going to wait to delete it until I have finished listening to it.
    The zune works well that way. If I switch to another podcast or something else when I come back it picks up where it left off. If I finish listening to the whole podcast then it is deleted.
    That is how I would like this to work, can I set it up that way?

    Agree ~ this change to Podcasts in iTunes is driving me nuts.
    Any ideas?

  • Stop podcast from playing the next one ??

    Hi guys,
    How can I stop the iphone from playing the next podcast? I subscribe to a podcast and have about 20 shows that I have to listen to, but after it finish playing one, it goes to the next one and I dont want that. How could I tell the iphone to stop after finishing one podcast ?

    Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

  • How do I stop sound from playing when I leave frame?

    I have designed a website for an advertising agency using
    Flash and ActionScript 3. In the portfolio page, I have several TV
    commercials that are available to play. What I need is 1) when the
    user leaves the TV ad page, I want the tv commercial to quit
    playing (right now, it continues even though the user has moved on
    to other pages). and 2) If the user selects a different TV
    commercial without first stopping the original one, the sound for
    both of the them plays at the same time. I am using the flv
    playback component. The video appears to stop, but the sound
    doesn't. My TV commercials are external flv files.
    I have also made a page for radio ads and I just used play,
    pause and stop buttons to control the sound. This page does the
    same thing. The sound continues when you move on to another page in
    the site. My sound files are also all external sound files.
    All of my pages are just individual frames in a main
    timeline. Each page has a frame label.
    If this is not clear, here is the link to my site:
    http://www.hammockads.com
    I would appreciate any help anyone can give me with this. I
    have tried for weeks now, to solve this problem and I just don't
    know enough actionscript or flash to figure it out. I've only been
    working with this for a few months.

    I have my website set up so that the portfolio page occupies
    one frame of my timeline. Inside that frame, I have a movie clip
    which contains the additional pages of the portfolio section. The
    additional pages show examples of the print ads, radio ads, tv ads,
    web sites that my client has created. Each of these additional
    pages is also one frame of the timeline (this time inside the
    portfolio movie clip). When the user clicks a link in the website,
    it just takes them to another frame on my timeline.
    The entire website is one swf file and each of the pages is
    located on one frame of the timeline (either on the main timeline
    or inside a movie clip timeline.)
    In the tv ads page, I have a button for each of the tv
    commercials. When the user selects a specific commercial, then the
    actionscript calls that particular ad from an external flv file.
    The problem is that when the user clicks another button (to view
    another ad or chooses to go to another page in the website (which
    involves leaving the current frame in the timeline) the video or
    radio ad doesn't automatically stop playing.
    I can't really post code, because I'm not sure what code to
    post. The TV ads are currently set up using the FLV playback
    feature. The radio ads are set up with play, stop, pause and volume
    control buttons. When a user here selects a new radio ad, the one
    currently playing stops and the new one starts, but when the user
    chooses to go to another page without first stopping the ad from
    playing, it continues to play.
    On the TV ads page, nothing is really working except that the
    ad plays and stops when it comes to the end. I'm thinking that I
    may need to go back and re-code the TV ads to play without using
    the flv playback option.
    Any thoughts? I hope this is a little bit clearer.

  • How can I Stop Video from Playing? (not just mute or pause)

    I have a page for playing a video. Below it I have a 'return to previous page' button. If the video is playing and I click this button to return I can still hear the video playing in the background. I know how to mute or pause the video when clicking this button but I would like to know how to completely stop the video so that if I go back to the video page - the playhead is at the start and I can see its thumbnail image again.
    Anyone help?

    do you mean:
    sym.$("Video01")[0].currentTime = 0;
    I tried this but it didn't work (just resets and plays in background). Also, I have several videos on one page and a navigation bar at the top. I would like (when I click the Nav Bar to go to another page) any video to stop and reset to its Poster.
    If you like, I could send over a very simplified project.

  • How do I stop iphoto from opening every time I connect my iphone to my computer?

    I don't really want to sync my iphone with my iphoto. Whenever I plug my phone into my computer, iphoto automatically opens and asks if I want to sync. Is there a way to stop this from happening?
    Thanks!

    The RIGHT way is to copy photos from your phone to iPhoto and delete them from the Camera Roll. If you still want them on the iPhone add them back to the photo album app. The Camera Roll is a bad place to leave photos that are important, and a silly place to leave photos that are not. It is intended as temporary storage, jost like any digital camera.
    iPhone will not open if the camera roll is empty.

  • How do I stop podcasts from automatically downloading?

    I've tried everything including changing the settings for my entire library to just refresh the feeds, but iTunes is still automatically downloading episodes.
    What is worse though, is many times its going back into certain feeds to download older, and usually years old, episodes, so that obviously clogs up memory and CPU space on my computer, with no seemingly end in site when dealing with podcasts that have episode numbers in the hundreds and for some reason the feed is downloading dozens of them from several years ago.
    I don't understand that at all, in terms of why iTunes refreshing a feed would go back and download episodes going way back in the feed's history as opposed to the latest one, or the ones that showed up, since the last time the feed was refreshed, with the proper later dates, but I'd just want to stop the automatic process and just simply have all the feeds refreshed so I can pick and choose what I want to download, instead of all at once.  What am I doing wrong?

    Go to iTunes > Preferences > Store and Uncheck the option to Sync podcast subscriptions, settings and stations, then set up each machine as you want it.

    Give your FLVPlayback component an instance name and then,
    possibly from the navigation element that moves the user from that
    frame, tell that component instance to stop();
    Without a more complete description of your movie's structure
    its difficult to tell where, or in how many places, you should
    issue the stop() command.

  • How can I stop videos from playing in a slideshow?

    I only want to see a slideshow of the photos in an event but iPhoto 09 is showing all the videos as well. Is there a way for me to stop this without having to remove all the videos from every event?

    To add some to Terence's suggestion you can create a Smart album with the criteria:
    1 - Album is "then album you want to use"
    2 - File name does not contain ".mov". OR File Name ends with .jpg.
    This will give you a smart album that will only contain your image files. You can change the album to any other album you want to view as a slideshow.

  • How can I stop iPhoto from launching automatically

    Whenever I start up my Mac, iPhoto launches automatically. How can I prevent this to happen?

    Depends - if you have any FAT formatted device attached to your Mac then you must either disconnect it or in the iPhoto preferences set action when a camera is connected to do nothing
    If you have told the system to launch iPhoto on start up then you need to now tell it not to (right click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock and see if that is checked)
    There also is a place to set start up items in system preferences
