How to keep quicktime from opening in a separate window?

I was trying to listen to XM Radio online and everytime I went to click on a station the Quicktime player opened up in a separate window rather than staying within the XM website. Is this normal or is there a way to keep the Quicktime player within the webpage? This problem also happens when listening to MLB.com Audio streems.
The problem with the player outside of the webpage is it doesn't refresh automatically once it ends stream. You have to go back and reclick the station to stream again.
I am currently running on a MacBookPro with Leopard 10.5.1 operating system.

MMM...well...if the button or the link you click on opens the audio/video in the Qt player. There really nothing you can do about this...it's how the web page was set up.
Please supply a link (with no logins) so somebody can check this out.

  • How to keep Quicktime from hijacking all graphic settings?

    In the past when I have been brave enough to install quicktime player it has always screws up my registry.
    Since Apple, in all its wisdom, has not made a plugin for media player, in order to view .mov files from my son's Kodak camera I have to install quicktime on my machine. When I do it hijacks virtually all programs that display or edit graphics and makes Quicktime the default program. I never noticed an option to NOT do that automatically.
    Where do I find those options in the quicktime setup program?
    Also, if I forget to uninstall quicktime when I am done with it, it tries to do daily (or maybe hourly) updates, constantly demands access through my firewalls, does it all again every time I try to play a .mov file, and constantly intrudes upon my use of my own computer. How can I turn off these objectionable "features" and still leave quicktime installed on my computer?
    Any ideas?

    I found it. By default Apple, in all its wisdom, sets Quicktime as the default viewer for a bunch of non-quicktime filetypes. When I start quicktime from the start menu and select Edit>Preferences>Quicktime Preferences it gives me the option of unclicking boxes that do the hijacking and it presumably returns control to the correct programs.
    I also find there a box to turn off the incessant updates and the tray icon.
    Problem solved. The last time I had to install it I could not find these options. Too bad they don't offer the options at the beginning of the setup process - it would give a lot more confidence in their product.
    Of course, the perfect thing would be to offer it as a plugin for Windows Media Player so we would not have to have so many competing (and registry space hogging) programs on our machines.

  • How to stop Quicktime from opening every time I play an online video

    Everytime I open a video on CNN.com it opens in Quicktime. How do I stop this from happening?
    It used to play online through the website and I would prefer that it do this again. Any help?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    do you have the Flip4mac plugin installed?
    if you do, you'll see it at the bottom of the System Preferences window..... Open the Flip4mac preference, select the plug-in tab. There's a check-box for
    Launch Quicktime Player....movies will be launched in QT instead of the plug-in
    if that box is checked, you would get the problem you describe.

  • How to Stop Quicktime from Opening when Downloading a Song?

    I'm trying to download a song from an artists website. When I click on the song, a new window opens and quicktime starts to buffer the song for playback. This happens with both IE and Firefox.
    How do I disable this? My laptop doesn't do this, but my main desktop is.

    Why not just right-click and save the linked file to your computer?
    Open the .mp3 with any app you choose.
    You can disable the QuickTime plug-in from playing .mp3 files in a browser window by opening the QT Control Panel/Advanced and click the MIME Settings button. Remove the check mark for the .mp3 format and restart your browser for this change to take effect.

  • In Mountain Lion how to keep Dashboard from opening each time awakening from sleep?

    Every time awakening from sleep and/or screen saver, the dashboard screen comes up as the opening display, how can I stop this?

    Nope.
    If you launch Mail, you get mail.
    You can only stop if from loading if your DON'T launch Mail.
    You can also decide how much to have it load, and how far back.
    The other option is to turn off Wifi before you launch Mail.

  • After printing to file, how do I keep document from opening?

    I installed new reader-then uninstalled it. Gone back to Reader 11. Document printed to file is automatically opening. How do I keep it from opening?

    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />

  • How can I keep iTunes from opening when I insert a CD?

    I have gone through the preferences again and again, and I can't find a way to keep iTunes from opening whenever I insert a CD. iTunes is not my preferred player/encoder, and I don't want it to open unless I tell it to.
    Case in point, I'm converting many CDs to mp3, using an application that gives me the filename format I want (iTunes isn't that flexible enough to do that). It is annoying for iTunes to keep butting in, every time I insert a CD!
    Thanks for any advice.
    L.

    When you first insert a CD your Mac comes up with a box saying
    "You have inserted a CD" (duuh, Apple...)
    Then you choose from a pop-up menu that offers "Open in Finder", "Open in iTunes", etc
    At some point you (or someone) has chosen "Open in iTunes" then checked the little box that says "Make this the default from now on".
    If you go into System Prefs (as already mentioned) you have a choice to reset what you want to do with a blank CD.

  • Is there some way to keep Safari from opening a new tab when clicking on a link?

    When one clicks on a link on a page in Safari a new tab is opened. This is fine if the link is to a different site. However, it is annoying when navigating through the pages of a single site such as is required, for example, in on-line banking. Firefox seems to be smarter in this regard, opening a tew tab in the former case but not in the latter. Is there some way to keep Safari from opening a new tab each time?

    Safari Preferences > Tabs (in Safari 7)
    There is an option there for specifying how new pages open

    How to stop iPhoto from opening each time I add a photo using Yosemite

    Add image to iPhoto Library
    From where.  I don't think you can keep it mininmized when importing because if it runs into a duplicate it will present a warning window for you to make a decision in. Therefore, it will always be open when importing.
    You can send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

    Change the extension to .pdf
    And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:

  • How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions?

    How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions?  I am fimilar with changing the setting for all network partitions(defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true), but that is undesirable when I connect my laptop to my home network. A preferable solution would be where I could control the writing of these files based on disk format (NTFS vs HFS+).

    Go to MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and search for ds_store. There are numerous utilities for preventing them from being transferred to Windows systems.

  • How to keep the field open for input with error message in report program

    Hi,
      Need a help in solving the below issue.
    "How to keep the field open for input with error message in report program"
    Regards,
    C.Shasiraj.

    Hi...
    you have to use the event:
    <b>AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON <FIELD> EVENT.</b>
    u have to give an error message in this event.
    Consider the following <b>Example:</b>
    <b>PARAMETERS : NUMBER TYPE I.
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON NUMBER.
      IF NUMBER = 10.
        MESSAGE 'Number vakue is 10' TYPE 'E'.
      ENDIF.
    START-OF-SELECTION.
      WRITE NUMBER.
    </b>
    in this if u give the value of number = 10, it will not proceed further, if u give some other value other than 10 you will proceed further...
    Execute this program once u will understand....
    also Consider the following links :

    You can upgrade to Mavericks free, just run the App Store program and search for Mavericks. But before you do upgrade I recommend the following:
    1) make sure you have a recent backup. TimeMachine is fine.
    2) Mavericks is somewhat more memory hungry than 10.7 was. You will need 4 GB of RAM and I strongly recommend 8 GB.
    Go back to the Apple menu and select About this Mac - look under the OS info you just looked at. You'll see how much RAM your computer has now. Then click on the More Info button. There you will see your computer info listed as in: iMac, 21.5" mid 2010, for example. Return back with that information and we can tell you how far the computer can be upgraded.
    If you decide to procede and you have enough RAM upgrading to Mavericks is quite simple. Click on the download button and let it do its job.
