How do I turn off the auto-play on the web browser? I'm tired of my computer slowing down because your browser is trying to load some kind of advertisment. I do

My screens are consistently slow loading because the auto-play is always trying to load some advertisment. If I wish to look at the ad, I'll click on it and open it.

It's a video? Most video ads probably use the Flash plugin. You could stop sites from using Flash automatically and require them to get your approval. And obviously there's no rush giving approval if it's just for an ad...
To set "Ask to Activate", open the Add-ons page using either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash plugin, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.

  • How do i turn off the web cam? I shot camera?

    I have a MacBook and the  camera/web cam is on. How do I shut it off?

    Hi
    The camera should turn off automatically when no software is using it. As it's on all the time, it's possible that you have a login item which is automatically starting up and turning on the camera.  Removing this login item should make the camera turn off until you need it.
    To check login items, run System Preferences > Accounts
    Select your personal account
    Go to the Login Items tab
    Deselect every option
    Save/exit then log out and log back in again
    With any luck, this should fix it

  • How can I turn off the sounds of the firefox? I don't want to turn off my whole computer sounds, but just the sounds which comes from the internet. Is there any master button?

    All the websites doesn't allow you to turn off the sounds, but that is just the thing I need to do. So how can I turn off the web browsers sounds? This is so small thing, that I refuse to believe that this kind of button doesn't exits.

    In Vista you can set the volume and mute setting for each application separately in the volume mixer.
    You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
    You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window.<br />
    You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.

  • How do i turn off the auto delete when played feature in new update?

    how do I turn off the auto delete after playing an item in latest update?

    After the disaster of iTunes 11.1 that deleted nearly all my archived podcasts (recovered from backup thankfullly) I was shocked, but not altogether surprised, to see that the option to delete played episodes has been enabled/re-enabled by default.
    From the lower right of the Podcasts window click Settings then, if needed, click Defaults, then turn Delete Played Episodes to Off.
    Why set the destructive option as the default?
    I have many episodes that I want to keep that are no longer available at their feed so the last thing I want is any automatic delete process to be enabled.

  • How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?

    How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?
    I am using either of the path selection tools to select only some of the paths on the layer. I have the proper layer targeted. I have the selection too auto select option turned off.
    If another layer has a path in that area, that layer becomes auto targeted and I get the wrong path. Turning off the layer is the only way to avoid this but then I have to  turn on the layer back on between making my selection and transforming to use the other layer as guide. Is there any way to stop this auto select? Locking the other layer does not stop the auto select, just prevents editing.

    As far as i know the move tool options don't have any effect on the path selection tools.
    You might try clicking on one of the path points or on the path itself with one of path selection tools and if you want to select multiple points
    you can shift click with the Direct Selection Tool or Alt click to select the entire path.

  • How do you turn off the auto grid?

    How do you turn off the auto grid? I read in a forum that the solution is "View- show- turn off grid". But the weird thing is I had to have that website open to even get the alternative up under "View". If I didn´t, there were other alternatives there. Why?
    The second problem is, when I finally got the "Turn off auto grid" alternative up, it will not be unchecked…. I´m working on a mac.
    Thank you in advance!

  • In Safari 5.0.6 how do I turn off the auto save to contact list of addresses I send mail to?t

    How do I turn off the auto saving to my contact list of every e-mail address I send a note to?

    It might help knowing that Apple uses the term "Versions" instead of AutoSave. I have not yet found how to turn it off, but in the meantime, here's how to delete "Previous Versions":
    Do one of the following:
    If you have unsaved changes in a document, choose File > Revert To, and then click Previous Save.
    Hold the pointer to the right of the document title, click the downward-facing arrow, and then choose Browse All Versions from the pop-up menu.
    Click a gray tick mark along the timeline on the right to display various versions of your document.
    Do one of the following:
    To restore your document to the state of a particular version, display that version, and then click Restore.
    To delete the displayed older version, hold the pointer to the right of its title, click the downward-facing arrow, and then choose Delete This Version. To delete all older versions, press the Option key while holding the pointer to the right of the older version’s title, click the arrow, and then choose Delete Old Versions.
    To create a new untitled document that duplicates a particular version, display the version, press the Option key, and then click “Restore a Copy.”
    To leave your document in its current state, click Done.

  • How do i turn off the auto lock feature?  In my options it does not have "never" on it.  It is only timed amounts.

    How do I turn off the auto lock feature.  I have only timed options.  There is not the "never" option available.

    I've got options for 2, 5, 10, 15 minutes and Never. Have you got an Exchange email account on your iPad ? 'Never' can be removed so as to protect a company's potentially sensitive email - they may not want the iPad being left/stolen with the emails on it accessible. If you remove the account the Never option will probably reappear

  • How do I turn off the default radio in my music app.  I cannot play my playlist until it first defaults to radio and then I have to start all over. this is very tedious!!!

    how do I turn off the default radio in my music app.  I cannot play my playlist until it first defaults to radio and then I have to start all over. this is very tedious!!!

    This got me curious when I first saw it... It does indeed seem very Un-Apple-like (at least historically) to prevent a user from customizing their own device - Mac or iDevice - but today I'm unsure. I cannot grasp how a UX designer could leave a simple "OFF" switch out of the control panel. Another thing that Music Data Streaming does is eat up your Data Plan.
    This May  not be the exact issue as you describe, but seems to solve an issue of a Radio Playlist in iTunes resuming where it left off from the last use...

      Re: How do you turn off i tunes radio on the ipad air once it starts playing songs?  in response to Betty91545        
    Play last song on list, songs will then stop.  Works for me on iPad. Haven't tried yet on iPhone.
    It is likely that THIS may be part of the real reason to push the iTunes Radio feature - revenue stream (nobody remembers "Payola?"):
    Apple is more beholden to the shareholders than in the old days

  • When playing back stills, how do I turn off the G..D...n zoom?

    When playing back stills in imovie, how do I turn off the G..D...n zoom? I just want it to show stills, STILL, zoom-effects do not go well with a serie of meditative fotos of sculptures.... thank you. Anyone?

    Hi
    It's called Ken-Burns effect.
    Click on one photo in Project.
    Then You see a small cogg wheel like symbol
    - click on it and a menu opens where at bottom You can
    - select Crop/Ken-Burns/Rotation - select it
    Now in Viewer/Canvas at top set Size (Adjusted) from Adjust/Crop/Ken Burns menu - now the picture will show in full and no zoom.
    As You see - there is a linguistic barrier when not having an English version of iM.

  • How can I turn off the Ipod 5g speaker so it just plays through the headphones?

    How can I turn off the Ipod 5g speaker so that it just plays through the headphones?

    First make sure your headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning no silver from the headphones plug can still be seen.
    If that's not the issue, try a hard reset of the Nano.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • How can I turn off the auto login on Netbook running Ubuntu OS

    During the initialisation of the machine AUTO LOGIN was already highlighted.
    Unfortunately I only noticed it as I hit the next key.
    How do I turn off the auto login?
    I think I change the /etc/gdm/gdm.conf , but would like confirmation as this is a slightly different version of Linux.

    Decided to give the full Ubuntu system answer to this and it works just fine.
    In a terminal issue the command: sudo /usr/sbin/gdmsetup
    This will bring up the gdm gui and there you can turn off auto login, and the timed login.

  • How can I turn off the auto renewal for Hulu plus?

    How can I turn off the auto renewal for Hulu Plus?  I can not seem to follow the instructions given...I can not launch I tunes and have a menu appear.......
    My special needs son accidentally signed up for this trial offer and I want it cancelled immediately.  I have received an email from them, but can not get it to work and I have been trying for over a week.......feeling frustrated.

    How/where are you trying to stop the subscription ?
    If you are using iTunes on a PC and the drop-down menus aren't showing at the top of iTunes then see if control-B gets them to show, or try alt-S and see if that gets the Store drop-down menu to show. You should also be able to cancel subscriptions by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your iPod Touch an logging into your account.
