How do I stop Weather Channel's videos from playing automatically?

A previous answer to a similar question referred us to the "Stop Autoplay" add-on. That add-on, however, has been withdrawn.
Is there another solution?
PS: I'm using Firefox 18.0 for Windows XP.

To stop Auto playing of videos and flash content, use flash block firefox addons

How to stop the video from playing automatically

I've imported video to flash using the Import Video function
and one of their skins. How do i set the parameters so the video
does not play automatically? Thanks, K

Click on whatever your using to display the video, whether it
be actual video footage embedded or your using an Adobe video
player component to display it while the footage is hosted
remotely.
Then go to the top toolbar dropdown Window > Component
Inspector.
If your video object is embedded on the stage, look in the
Component Inspector window, on the Parameters tab, there will be
options, one of them is autoPlay, set that to False.
If you are using one of Adobe's pre-built components to
display your video, click your player, and in the Component
Inspector there will be a checkbox labelled "Automatically Play",
uncheck that.

How can I disable .mp4 videos from playing automatically on Yahoo News? (and elsewhere)

I posted a similar question last week about disabling html5 videos and that seems to have worked. But I notice that when I look at the Yahoo News main page, some videos (thumbnails) are playing automatically as I'm scrolling up and down the page. I find that annoying, distracting, and is probably consuming data on my limited plan.
I see other questions posted about .mp4, but those are all how to PLAY rather than NOT play videos.
Any help would be appreciated.

How do I stop extra windows or programs from opening automatically when I access my Applications folder via Finder?

Each time I access my Applications folder via Finder, a bunch of ejectable windows or previously downloaded programs open up on the desktop. I have ejected each one or placed it in the trash, but it still happens. How do I stop this from happening?

I asked the same question on Yahoo! Answers, and I was advised to reinstall Firefox, which I have just done (with version 3.6.8). The problem seems to be solved. Prior to doing this, I attempted to uninstall my previous version, but Control Panel wouldn't let me do this, nor would Windows Explorer allow me to send the whole Mozilla Firefox folder to the Recycle Bin. I went to Plan C, which was to delete all the subfolders in the main folder, followed by the leftover files, and finally empty the Recycle bin. Then I used Internet Explorer to download the newer version of Firefox, and installed it. No more extra home pages, so far.

How can I prevent embedded videos from playing automatically when I open a webpage?

When I go to a web page, such as when I click around to different stories on msn.com, there is often an embedded video. Sometimes it is a commercial. Sometimes it's something else. But it just starts playing all by itself, which can be loud and startling. I'd like videos to play only when I select them. Is there a way to make it prevent the auto-play?

How can i stop iTunes 7 for Windows from opening automatically whenever I browse my Music Folder in Windows?

Whenever I'm browsing through my files on my PC, if I open the iTunes folder inside my music folder, iTunes automatically launches. If I close iTunes without browsing away from this folder, it simply re-opens itself.
edit: I have no Apple devices currently connected to the computer and WiFi Sync is disabled.
How can I stop this behaviour?

How do I disable itunes on my iphone 4s?
iTunes app on the iPhone is for purchasing music.
The fact the iPhone starts playing when connected to your car stereo is a function of your car bluetooth system.
Consult your car dealer/bluetooth system manual.
I have attempted to delete all music from the device (so there would be nothing to play), but 1 song remains in the iphone memory and I have been unable to delete that song.
Connect the iPhone to computer and select it in iTunes.
Click the Music tab and uncheck Sync music.
Then click Apply at lower right of iTunes.

Prevent flash video from playing automatically

Hi,
I know extremely little about Flash, and have been sent a completed SWF file, which I have inserted into my webpage with the code below.
The problem is that it starts playing automatically. Is there some way that I can add a parameter to the code below so that the video doesn't start automatically, or will the SWF file need to be re-created?
Thanks very much
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="480" height="396" id="myflash_player" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="myflash_player.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="myflash_player.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="480" height="396" name="myflash_player" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

the swf will need to be re-created or, another swf can be created that loads myflash_player.swf when you want.

How can I stop all tracks on an album playing automatically?

I use my iPod Classic to play backing tracks in my band. I have all our songs in one Album and want to be able to trigger tracks one at a time. But as one track ends the next one starts automatically. I want to be able to trigger the next track myself, when we're ready for it. I know I could choose 'Song' from the menu but I have a lot of my own albums on the iPod and it would take ages to find the single song I want. Is there are an easy way to accomplish what I'm trying to do? Thank you.

A further alternative is to set each of your own songs (in your iTunes Library) to Skip When Shuffling. Since you already have these songs in one album, you shouldn't need to create a Playlist for the album, but you can if you wish.
Sync the changed songs to your iPod. If you use Sync to manage your iPod, then a simple Sync should effect the changed songs on the iPod as well.
Now, on the iPod, select Settings/Shuffle>Songs. Do not use the Shuffle Songs on the Main Menu, this trick doesn't work if you do. You have to set shuffle on the Settings menu.
Now, on the Albums menu, navigate to your album and select the first song. When it ends, the iPod will stop (because every other song in your album is set to skip when shuffling.
At your leisure, you select the next song that you want and start it playing. When it ends, the same thing happens, the iPod stops.
If you created a Playlist (in step 1.) then at step 4, navigate to that Playlist and start your first song playing. Again, when it ends, the iPod will stop since every other song in the Playlist is set to skip when shuffling.

How can I stop random audio advertising files from playing?

Recently, my Macbook Pro has been playing random audio files. They are mostly advertisments about mucus medicine and news clips about soccer. Yesterday, I discovered that when I quit Safari, the audio stops. Today the problem is back again. What can I do to get rid of these annoying ads?

Safari > Preferences > Security
Make sure that "Block pop-up windows" is enabled.
Temporarily disable the plug-ins
Safari > Preferences > Security > Web content: Enable plug-ins
If the audio is from Flash based ads it should stop.
Re-enable that feature later.
Best.

How do I stop an advertisement for movies from playing every time I hit the browser button?

The ad is from ivdopia WAP ads demo.

You need to figure out which app you downloaded that is doing that. I know there is a camera app that causes your browser to do that. It's most likely a free app. In the future becareful of the apps you download, if it asks for more access than it needs don't install it.
Go to your downloaded apps section in Marketplace and read the comments on all recent apps, there should be comments about it on the app that is causing this.
Edit: If you find out which one is doing it, make sure you uninstall it and use the marketplace to report it as malicious content. Make sure you do a battery pull reset after you uninstall it.

everything should be on your computer.
If you do as you should and make sure that everything is on your computer, then you should lose nothing.

How do you stop multiple Youtube videos from playing at the same time?

As of a few days ago, when I click on a youtube video, as the commercial begins to play, you can begin to hear multiple/different commercials playing at the same time. After the commercials, the same issue occurs with the main video--multiple videos are being played at the same time and are not in sync. I've updated all my plug ins and have tried the suggestion posted in the forum provided in the link below in which someone else has expressed the same issue, but nothing has worked so far. Does anyone know what can be done?
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/5Lnikma4UqM

Are you loading those videos as Flash or HTML5? It is possible to prevent videos from playing until you click something with Flashblock for Flash or Stop Tube HTML5 for HTML5. You can also stop the commercials with Adblock Plus with an Easylist subscription.

How can i access my home shared videos from my iPad2 if I now have iTunes match?

how can i access my home shared videos from my iPad2 if I now have iTunes match?

That's exactly what I meant, but for some reason Home Sharing stopped working on my iPad2 once I activated iTunes Match.
Since then, I waited for iTunes Match to finish setting up and scanning my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro and I restarted my iPad2. Both Home Sharing and iTunes Match are now up and running smoothly!
Thanks for the reply!

How do i stop the rainbow coloured circle from appearing especially when using IPhoto?

how do i stop the rainbow coloured circle from appearing especially when using IPhoto?

Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|Previous Sh' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
