How to disable iHeartRadio Auto-Start on an iPhone 4s/iOS7?

Hello - I have a really annoying problem. It apparently has consistently happened through various iOS upgrades (see also Podcasts and this article) . Not sure why it hasn't been resolved.
If the iHeartRadio app is open, but I am not listening to it and I take a voice call or use the Voice-to-Text recognition, iHeartRadio will automatically start playing afterwards. This typically happens when headphones or a speaker (dock) are plugged in. However, it has also happened with just the phone by itself.
It is really annoying and does not seem to serve a purpose. The only workaround I have discovered is 'killing' iHeartRadio so it literally cannot restart.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? It seems like a bug to me.

Thanks for your replies everyone. I have contacted iheartradio as well regarding this issue.
I have updated all apps and have done the back up/restore from iTunes to no avail. I am not familiar with voice command/control in iheartradio.
Per my earlier post, this has been an issue for Apple before, in previous iOS iterations (in particular, Podcasts).
I have searched high and low for an answer which is why I posted here. I will update if I hear from iheartradio. I would be willing to be bed they say it's an Apple issue...

How to disable Skype auto-start on Windows 8 boot?

Hi
I have a freshly installed Skype ver 7.2 on a freshly installed Windows 8.1 PC.
I did not allowed Skype to start itself on Windows startup. The corresponding option in settings is not checked.
But it starts anyway.
How can I disable Skype on startup?

Hi, I had the same problem recently--trying to disable Skype's automatic start when I first log in to Windows 8.1--and this is what worked for me:
1) Bring up the "Task Manager" window by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc all at the same time. (Or press Ctrl + Alt + Del at the same time then choose the "Task Manager" menu link.)
2) Once the "Task Manager" window comes up, you'll see several tabs (Processes, Performance,...Details, Services) just one row below the top drop-down menu bar (File; Options; View).
3) One of those tabs (on my version of Windows 8.1 it's the fourth tab from the left) reads "Start Up"
4) Once you open the "Start Up" tab window, you'll see a list of installed programs that have either been "Enabled" or "Disabled" in terms of booting up when you first turn on your computer.
5) Scroll down until you see "Skype" then highlight it with your cursor. If the line shows that this program is "Enabled" during start up (under the column "status"), then a button on the lower right of the window should read "disable." Click on it and you will see the "status" of Skype change to "Disabled."
The change should take effect for your next reboot. While your there, you can also disable any other (non-essential) programs to help speed up your computer's boot up process. Be careful what you disable, though, as some programs might be necessary for your computer's day-to-day functions!
I hope that helps!

Is there a way to have itunes delete the WMA file after creating mp3 copy?
No. But after the MP3s are created and you are satisfied that things went OK, just delete the WMAs manually and say "Good Riddance."
You can use an MP3 in multiple players, but you need to turn off any features that automatically change or move files, since one player will change something that messes up the other:
In iTunes, that means go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced and uncheck "Keep..." and "Copy..."
In Windows Media Player, that means go to Tools > Options > Library, and uncheck everything that starts with a verb such as "Rename...," "Rearrange...," etc.

How to stop the auto-start of log reader agent (replication) right after my database is restored?

I have the scenario where the SQL server is restored (after migration).
This database has transactional replication set-up on one of the databases. When I do a manual delete and restore of the database, I see that the replication starts right after the publisher and subscriber are restored.
Replication agents should not start and run before the integrity checks are completed. How to stop the replication from auto starting right after the migration?
Thanks in advance - Jebah

Thanks Pradyothana, I have disabled the logreader, distribution agents through sp_update_job in Tsql script. I have also verified that there are no pending transactions to be replicated to the subscriber, I see that the job is still being executed. Is there
any other way to disable the jobs?
Steps I followed
Started with a Working publication and subscription
Disabled the jobs (log reader and distribution agents)
Backed up publisher, subscriber, distribution and msdb
Deleted the publication, subscription, publisher and subscriber
Restored the publisher, subscriber, distribution and msdb
Enabled the jobs and executed sp_replrestart
Observations/Issues
Replication does not work
Replication monitor does not show any error
Jobs are shows as enabled but not started in job monitor
Not able to start/stop the log reader and synchronization manually.
I am not sure if I have missed something while restoring the db.
Thanks in advance

How to disable yum auto-update in OL6

Hello,
What is the correct procedure to disable yum auto-updates?
The "yum-updatesd" daemon that existed in OL 5 does no longer exist in OL 6.
I found out that the "PackageKit Update Applet" seems to be responsible for running the auto-update. It can be enabled or disabled in the new Preferences/Startup Applications control panel. There is also the "gpk-prefs" control panel to set the update interval to "never". However, both control panels work on a per-user/login basis and cannot be used to disable yum auto-update system-wide.
Finally I found /etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf, which has a DefaultBackend parameter, but I don't know what I should put there.
Is there here a way, to disable the yum auto-update system-wide without uninstalling PackageKit?
I already checked the documentation at http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/ch-PackageKit.html but it was not helpful.
Thanks!

The actuall problem I'm trying to fix is the following error:
<pre>
Another app is currently holding the yum lock; waiting for it to exit...
The other application is: PackageKit
Memory : 45 M RSS (357 MB VSZ)
Started: Tue Jul 10 09:27:04 2012 - 04:09 ago
State : Sleeping, pid: 2317
</pre>
The above error can happen if you have an active Gnome session and e.g. connect as root using ssh session and try to use yum.
I may have found a way now to disable the automatic system updates, however, I don't know if this is the proper solution since I cannot find any information about it.
I modified */etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf* and changed:
<pre>
DefaultBackend=yum -> DefaultBackend=nobackend
</pre>
It requires a re-login of your Gnome X session to take affect.
Then Administration/Software update does no longer scan for updates, and apparently no longer lock yum at the system level. At least the problem seems to be fixed globally that way.
I will mark this question as answered, but any ideas are still welcome.
Thanks!
Btw, here is a link to previous older thread to disable it on a per-user basis:

How to switch off auto start of replication sp's.

hi,
I was checking my sqlserver's master database and found some body has swithched on auto start
of the following sps.
sp_MScleanupmergepublisher
sp_MSrepl_startup
May be some one was exprerimenting with replication.
pls tel me how can i switch them off?
i was hesitating to use this command
"sp_procoption 'spname', 'startup','off'"
, because i thought some on might have configured some thing else also for replication
or there might be some other way to swithch of these replication sp.
yours sincerely

You dont want to stop these.
These are automatically started when SQL Server starts provided you have replication configured.

How can I delay auto-start of a program at boot?

Hi,
I have set BOINC-manager as auto-start item in system preferences. However, I would like to set a delay to the start of BOINC-manager of e.g. 3 minutes after startup of the computer so that Tech Tool Pro can finish it's checks before BOINC starts.
Is there a way to do that?
Thanks in advance!

You can create an Applescript looking like this:
delay 120
tell application "BOINC-manager" to launch
You need to save the script "As Application", then save it somewhere standardized. Open your System Preferences>Accounts>Startup Items and add the script to the list.

How can I disable the auto start up of iphoto on my computer when I plug in my iphone?

Whenever i plug in my iphone 4s, my computer automatically opens iphoto. How do I disable it?

yeah that's what I used to do before I updated to snow leopard. Now it does not have the same menu options which is why I am asking.
It is not in image capture either.
Read the other forums on this topic, I don't seem to have those choices anymore.( general> connecting a camera) does not appear in window.
I cannot figure out where this is.

How to disable iPhoto from starting up when I connect a camera?

I don't use iPhoto, but annoyingly, it starts itself every time I connect my camera to my iMac. How do I disable this? There seems to be nothing in "Preferences".
I have iPhoto 4. One of the gripes that I have, and a reason I don't use or update iPhoto, is that it seems to be impossible to upload just SOME of the photos in my camera. It's all or nothing. Does anyone know if later versions of iPhoto have fixed this?

Odd because when I went to the apple store to talk to their "genius bar" when I had a problem with my laptop they said " you can't change that option"i was like...are you kidding me???? So after all this time I finally find this option in the apple forums. T hank you guys this really helped me. I was sick and tired of it starting up every time i connect my digi cam or iphone.

How to disable the auto eject of a failing HD

My kids HD just started to fail. Apple replaced it this AM, however my kid's TM backup is about 5 months old. I am trying to recover the data from the old disk.
She put the old disk into an enclosure and connected it to her MBP. As I try to copy as much of the drive as possible it gets an error, ejects, then reconnects and give an annoying message that I didn’t eject properly. This is making it very difficult to get all the data off.
I figured if I mounted read-only that it’d stop doing that, but it does not. I’ve run fsck, etc…
All I need is for this stupid machine to log errors and move on just like single user mode. However, I cannot use single user mode because I am 2000 miles away from the machine. And using Facetime to remote control my kid has pushed me to the edge. There has to be a way to make OSX as “unfriendly” as Linux. OSX needs a “pro” mode.
So, I ask again. How do I stop OSX from auto ejecting a disk when it errors?
Thanks.

Have you tried ditto?
From the ditto manpage
ERRORS
     ditto returns 0 if everything is copied, otherwise non-zero. ditto
     almost never gives up, preferring to report errors along the way. Diag-
     nostic messages will be printed to standard error.

N97 disable off auto start on camera

Hi,
Does anyone know how to stop the camera from automatically starting the picture app when you move the slider. I've found it to be a great way to crash my N97 when running another app!! That or stop the N97 from taking any pics until it gets reset.
If the camera is out the image mode can be easily started by pressing the shoot image button anyway so it might as well be disabled.
Ideas on disabling the app's autostart?

Humm yea i suppose leaving the camera perpetually open would have to be the solution. I havn't got any hints of scratches on my lens yet although this is after just over a week of use. Previous phones i've had havn't had a lens anyway. Just suppose a bit of cleaning every now and then will be needed!

How to disable Bluetooth Auto-Connect

Hello Everybody
I have a JBL Micro-Wireless Bluetooth enabled speaker.
My Laptop model is Lenovo Thinkpad X220 running Windows 7.
My laptop has Broadcom Bluetooth stack.
Now, the problem is, whenever i turn on the speaker, my laptop connects to it immediately.
But, It just shows as connected with JBL Micro-Wireless in Bluetooth Device Control
The Bluetooth Hands free audio in Available Playback Devices be kept disconnected and i won't be able to connect to it.
I won't be able to also disconnect the Bluetooth speaker in Bluetooth Device Control.
I found that, Either if i disable the Thinkpad Bluetooth 3.0 device in device manager and enable it back or Uptick and Tick Audo Sink service in JBL Micro-Wireless properties dialog box in Sound, i can connect to the speaker manually and it starts working
just fine and i can disconnect the speaker also any number times.
You can blame the Broadcom Bluetooth Drive Stack for this issue, but i have tried using the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack too.
You can now blame my JBL Micro-Wireless speakers for this issue, but, i don't have any problems with any other audio source.
So, you have to give solution to disable Auto-Connect for my Bluetooth Speaker from my Laptop.
My Bluetooth speaker don't have any interface to disable auto-connect.
I have tried stopping both the Bluetooth Services in Windows Services to disable Auto-Connection, but it didn't help.

Hi,
Untill now, there is no effective method in Windows to disable Bluetooth device connect automaticlly. Here is another workaround method maybe helpful.
That's using net stop/start service command to disable Bluetooth service.
Firstly, you can access Services by typing services.msc
command in RUN. Then choose Bluetooth service and change its startup type to
Manual.
Next time when you need using Bluetooth, just run net start bthserv in Command Prompt with administrator.
The bluetooth should be work normally.
When you didn't want to use it, just run net stop bthserv command to stop it.

How to disable skype from starting up automaticall...

I am trying to turn off Skype from starting automatically when Windows boots up. I went into Skype, Tools, General Tab and de-selected "Start Skype when i start Windows". When I hit "save", the tab automatically jumps from "General" to "Advanced", and it prompts me to enter port information as to how Skype connects to the internet???
I do not want to change any of the background connection settings (ie. Ports, Proxy, etc.); I just want the ability to de-select Skype from starting when Windows boots.

Port number for incoming connections must not be empty.
