How do I stop Quicktime from overriding music file downloads and playing them in the browser rather then letting me download them straight to my hardrive.

I am trying to download a mastered track from a fellow musician.
And up untill recently this wasen't a problem...
It seems so stupid considering the ammount of people who use Macs for musical production.
Can someone help please?!

Thanks Michael. Apologies for the slow reply I was away for a bit (holiday blitz at work and visiting family madness etc.etc.) back now, I set both options you requested to "never " and retried the CMS software with no change. 
I do have progress of a sort though, as a test I took a separate test PC and put a clean install of Win7 on and loaded up the CMS software (it worked perfectly) and then took the version of ole32.dll off that machine and put it onto the computer I had built
for her (using Linux) and...
got a new error code. Darn I was so sure I had found a clever solution this time lol.
Anyway now when the CMS fails it gives me a similar error but the offending module is "ntdll.dll" sooo... I tried taking the "working" version of ntdll.dll from the test box and moving it over (making sure to back up the existing ones
first so I could put them back if needed) to her new PC and the PC would not boot. 
It seems to want the original versions of a few Dynamic Link Libraries and if I could somehow give it those while not breaking Win7 it should theoretically work seeing as it no longer errors with ole32.dll. 
ntdll.dll however seems necessary for Win7 to boot.
So what I am wondering now is:
Is there some way to have both versions of the DLL file in the system32 folder (bypassing the "cannot have two files with the exact same name in the same folder" thing) or rename the original DLL's something else and somehow make the CMS look for
the new named versions so the system has the updated DLL's it needs to boot/run and the CMS has the old ones it wants to run or is there someway to have a self contained install of the CMS, say on a USB flash drive and give it it's own E:/windows/system32/needed
dll's  path to the files it needs? 
Willing to try any other options or settings you may have come up with as well.
Thanks again for your reply and my apologies for not answering sooner.

  • How do I stop QuickTime from changing music files to movie files?

    I use iTunes exclusively for music & have recently noticed that downloaded files (usually midi files) are showing up in my iTunes library as QuickTime movie files. I usually use Firefox for music downloads but occasionally use AOL, which uses IE. To the best of my knowledge everything to do with music is set to use iTunes, not QuickTime. Now that it's happened I have to go to each & every file & have iTunes convert it to an mp3 when I own a converter that can change all midi files to mp3s at once but can't change QuickTime movie files to mp3s. Why is this happening & how can I stop it?

    I have the same issue with Safari opening Web PDF links in Quicktime.  When I click on a PDF URL the Quicktime logo will display in Safari, then the first page of the PDF will come up, and only the first page will be available, there is no way to scroll to subsequent pages.  I have not found any settings in Safari, Quicktime, or Adobe Reader to turn that off.  How can I get Quicktime to not be the default imbedded reader for PDF in Safari.

  • How can I stop Firefox from opening (to "File Not Found") when opening my Opera browser?

    Ever since I installed Opera 10.61 on my new computer (Windows 7 Ultimate operating system), whenever I open Opera, Firefox opens one second later with the following error message:
    '''File not found '''
    Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Users/Nasheed/AppData/Local/Opera/Opera/temporary_downloads/client-en.xml.
    * Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
    * Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.
    TRY AGAIN.
    <nowiki>****************************************************</nowiki><br />
    This happens EVERY TIME I OPEN THE OPERA BROWSER. How can I stop this from happening? I'm stumped.
    [EXTRA INFO - I was unable to enable Firefox to access my previous profile on the new computer (despite putting the old profile in the appropriate Mozilla Firefox folder. So, there are now two profiles in that location.
    After reading the answer to another forum member's question, I attempted to resolve the problem using Profile Manager, but I was unable to locate the Profile Manager. The Windows "Search" feature is not enabled on my new computer (nor can it be enabled from the Customize Start Menu options).]

    Thank you for your response, Cor-el.
    I had Opera set as my default browser since this began happening. I changed my default browser back to Firefox mainly because having Firefox open one or two seconds every time I open Opera was/is such a nuisance.
    I believe this problem began because I attempted to manually transfer the files from my old computer to the new one (via the backed up files in my external drive). I was unfamiliar with Windows 7 when I did this. Microsoft changed the file set up from what I had been used to in Windows XP. I used XP for six years before being exposed to Windows 7 (I never had Vista).
    I'm almost sure this problem has something to do with where I placed the application data when I was trying to reestablish the program set up on the new computer.

  • How do I stop Firefox from grabbing my saved images and coverting them to Firefox?

    I am working on images in Dreamweaver and Adobe Photoshop, and when I try to save them, Firefox coverts them into Firefox images with a Firefox icon and then I can't edit them properly in Photoshop or Dreamweaver. How do I stop Firefox from grabbing my saved images? in English

    I will try that, but it's pretty time consuming to have to check that for each of my images. I am a web designer and I work with a lot of images.
    Is there any way to set that globally for all of my saved images?

  • 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?

  • How do I stop Quicktime from stopping recording when it believes the signal is lost?

    I'm trying to digitize old VHS home videos through Quicktime (latest version). But when the tracking goes a bit awry, Quicktime stops recording telling me "RECORDING STOPPED, TRY RECORDING AGAIN."
    This is not true. It's just an instance of a bad part of the tape. It took me 13 days just to record one 6 hour tape because I had to start a new recording every few moments. I had hundreds of files!
    How do I stop Quicktime from ending a video recording when it believes the signal is lost? Is there a way of turning this 'feature' off? If not, does Apple have a software that will do what I'm asking? Final Cut Pro X or something else?
    Thank you!

    Here is a screenshot of the error. As you can see, I got a full 4 seconds of video recorded before Quicktime X believed the signal was lost (just a bit of off tracking).

  • How do i stop notifications from ringing while im on a phone call on the iphone 4s

    how do i stop notifications from ringing while im on a phone call on the iphone 4s?

    Basel,
    I'm not sure why these folks are having trouble understanding your request. I will dumb it down for them. Is there an option to have the iPhone only provide me with notifications when I'm not on the phone. Having my $800ish phone buzz and interrupt my phone conversation (after all primary function of this iPhone is being a phone) to let me know one of my Facebook friends has challenged me to a game of words with friends. I don't want my iPhone to not notify me at all. It can notify me after the call (again primary function) is complete. Going through menus and turning off notifications all together is absolutely silly. I wouldn't want to have to navigate through the menus and turn them off and then on an then off just to make or receive a phone call. Could you imagine answering you phone with, "hey, just wait I have to turn my notifications off so I can have this conversation." every time you wanted to talk on the phone.
    So yeah. Again not sure why they were having trouble with understanding you. I hope this helps clarify it for them.

    How do i delete duplicates from my music library. After updating my iTunes the "Show Duplicates" option does not appear in the menu

    If you are on Version 11.0.1 rather than 11 Apple put it back in
    View > Show Duplicates
    Option + View > Show Exact Duplicates
    so if you are on 11 upgrade to 11.0.1 and you will have it

  • How do I stop LR4 from organizing imported files into a folder by date.

    How do I stop LR4 from organizing imported files into a folder by date. Most times when I import files I have already created a folder and sub-folder structure tyat I want to use. I then right click the desired folder and choose import into this folder option. Why does LR4 insist on organizing my already selected destination into a sub-folder with a date by default?

    If you do it this way all the time consider a different approach:
    Manually copy your images from the card into your desired destination folder in the Finder/Explorer. Once complete drag&drop that entire folder into Lightroom. When the import dialog pops up select to Add the images to the catalog (not copy or move). You will end up with the exact folder structure reflected in your library.

  • In Pages 5, Maverick, How do I stop automatic conversation of URLs to hyperlinks and seeing them underlined

    There used to be a preference setting in Pages.  Now it seems gone in Pages 5.   So how do I stop automatic conversation of URLs to hyperlinks and seeing them underlined in text.  Sometimes I want it, but not always.

    The preference setting to turn off links is gone. When you enter content that triggers link detection, a link character style gets applied. Right-click on the link, choose Edit Link from the menu, and then Remove.
    To prevent Pages from automatically detecting links, visit Edit > Substitutions > and deselect Smart Links.

  • 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?

    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.

  • How do I stop quicktime from playing mpg in firefox?

    I want quicktime to NOT play mpg files in firefox. How can I add a mpg file to the applications section of FF to setup this properly?

    QuickTime can be very persistent in wanting to handle (take over) MIME types.
    Did you check the file type and MIME setting in the QuickTime Preferences?
