How to prevent Mail to play sound

Hi,
I have a rule which identifies junk emails and deletes them immediately. If the rule applies Mail still notifies on incoming mail. That is annoying.
How can modify the rule, that Mail avoids playing a sound in these cases?
Thanks

On OS X, You are able to hide the preview window on the right in normal mode, or on the lower side in classic mode, by simply putting your cursor on the thin bar which is in between, and then make it as small as possible, so it goes away.
Then your messages won't be automatically read when clicked once, but only if you click them twice and a new window with the message opens.
Also, you are able to mark them as unread again, which is a silly workaround, but possible.
You can do that by right clicking and select 'Mark as...' -> unread.
On iOS, I'm not sure..

How to prevent Mail form marking the messages as read when marked?

I use Mail 3.0 on Leopard (10.5.1).
Each time I click on a message, it automatically marks the message as read.
Is there any way to prevent this from happening? How can i set up a time-delay or switch it off?

I think the only way would be for Apple to implement a delay for marking files as read. Perhaps putting a delay of a second or two would work, so folks can browse through their mail without actually reading it. As it is, though, there's no way to prevent mail from marking a message you browse over.

How many ALSA applications can play sound at once?

I ran into a strange issue where I had Counter-Strike:GO running (sound working fine in the game itself) but when I alt-tabbed, no other application could play sound. VLC would complain my device was busy and Chromium didn't show an error but sound didn't work either (tested with a YouTube video.) I was able to solve this by changing the audio setting in CS:GO from 5.1 surround to 2 speaker (I use headphones so no need for surround) so now I can alt-tab and still have sound in other applications.
What I want to know now is why that is? Is there a limit to the number of simultaneous channels or what? I just tested and with CS:GO set to 2 channel I can play sound from CS:GO, Chromium, VLC, and Banshee all at the same time but with 5.1 CS:GO hogs the sound card all to itself.
I'm also curious about where PulseAudio fits into this. Right now I'm just using pure ALSA. If I were to get a surround setup one day would PulseAudio overcome this limitation and allow me to play music while I game?

See list of gotchas.
The main issue you probably have is that Dmix doesn't work with more than stereo - *unless* you use something like my sample config.
ALSA is flexible, which means it will allow naughty apps to block the soundcard for other apps. So, configure your apps also.
ALSA works fine, no need for pulseaudio.

How to prevent Firefox from playing any kind of video in the browser instead of promting a download dialog

When i klick on a link for a video files (for example a .wmv File) it opens a new tab and starts playing it, instead of giving me a dialog what it should do with the File so that i can either download it or play it with an external player. I already set all the video files in the "options -> Applications" screen to "Always ask", but instead of asking me, it's simply playing them.
What can i do to prevent firefox from playing videos?

Tahnks, but that doesn't help me at all. As i said, i already changed all to "Always Ask", when i Filter for media i get 5 results where each says "Always Ask", so thats not the cause...
I realized yesterday that this does not happen with all formats, it happens with wmv but not with avi... but still dont know y -.-

How to prevent mail from breaking web links into multiple lines?

Hey all!
When I send someone a long web link that is pretty long, Mail breaks it into several lines and at the end the user cannot use this link right away, he needs to "assemble it by parts" first.
Is there a way to prevent mail from doing this?
Thanks,
Artemiy.

Also you could use tinyurl - this is exactly what its designed for.

How to Prevent Flash Animation Playing?

I have a flash animation that plays automatically when the user lands on the homepage of my site. It's part of the header, so it's present on every subsequent page of the site as well. However, I would like it to NOT play on the other pages. It should be visible, but only display the first frame or so of the animation, rather than playing automatically on every page.
How do I stipulate that in the code? Is there a line I can add somewhere?
Thanks for any help.

the easiest thing to do, is to create two different swfs. one for the home page (that you've already made) and one for the other pages which will be the same as the one you have now except you want to add a stop() to the swf's first frame.

How to prevent music from playing accidentally

How does one stop the music function on the iphone, as opposed to simply pausing it? Sometimes, I think I have stopped it, then find later that it has been playing without me knowing and wasting battery.

When the iPod is playing in the background, there is a right facing blue arrow or play icon in the iPhone's status bar. Besides selecting pause, with the iPod available you can press and hold the home button for 5 seconds or so until the iPod quits and your iPhone returns to the home screen. I usually check the status bar since the blue play icon will not be in the status bar unless the iPod is playing.

TS3276 How to prevent mail from adding contact details taken from the adress book

Hi!
I don't know if this is the right place to ask about my issue but here it goes!
I use apple mail extensively having switched from entourage since outlook is by far no match to entourage. Anyhow my problem is that every time i add an email address in one of the TO recipients of a new email the mail program finds the name of that person in my my contacts and adds it to the initial email address.
I stretch out this is not the known problem where one wants to hide the contact names of a mail send to a group as a disclosed recipients mail.
I simply war to sent the mail without any delails added taken from my address book. In other words when i send a mail to say [email protected] I don't want the program to add the name of that person and send a mail to John Doe [email protected]
Anyone any ideas?

Sorry to disappoint you, SayWhat0, but unfortunately this is not possible. Apple did not include such a setting and this solution is what I'd call a workaround really. It solves the problem, but as you've mentioned not without drawbacks. I believe there is no other way to resolve this at the moment.
I have already reported the issue via this link http://www.apple.com/feedback/mail.html
All I could suggest is to do the same and hope Apple will introduce a setting for this.

How to setup IIS to play sound ? How to created .raw? Where Doccument?

I programming with IPPhone for 3 ys, but so surprised, there is less more less about how to setup the IIS to test RTP (or something like streaming). Please anyone can help to provide information about this. My customer want to Broadcast a wav file to announce some thing, how can I do it? I search all cisco doc but no any infomr

There are 3rd party software out there which can do a much better job at broadcasting wave file, send live page, text notification, weather alerts, etc.
If you want to develop yourself, you need to use RTPTx, RTPRx and CiscoIPPhoneExecute objects from SDK. To broadcast audio to a multicast, there is also sample code available. The problem is managing the phone list and groups and providing an intuitive interface for users and sys admins. I do have some sample code that we used in PhoneTop Messenger product, but it is all in Java and needs a Windows box to host it.

How does Flash stream / progressively play sounds

Hello, I've been making an MP3 player using Flash (MX 2004).
The player is to stream/progressively play MP3 files on my file
host.
I have already overcome the security part, as it seems that
my file host has allowed cross-domain access.
In my script I set _soundbuftime to 10 seconds
The problem: When testing the player, I notice 2 different
kinds of behaviours at random occasions:
1. The player loads 10 seconds of the song and begins
playing. If the player reaches the end of the loaded data but has
not loaded enough for it to continue playing, it will wait until
the next 10 seconds are loaded before continuing playback.
2. The player does not buffer as much as stated by the
_soundbuftime parameter. It loads one second, plays it, stops,
loads another second, plays it etc.
What I would like to know:
1. Is behaviour 2 a known issue in Flash 7, or is it because
I am using Flash Player 9 to test it?
2. Does the player buffer as much as specified by
_soundbuftime each time it has run out of data to play, or does it
do so only for the initial buffer?
3. Do more recent versions of Flash (such as 8 or 9) and/or
Flash Player show behaviour 2?
Would appreciate if anyone could help me.

You should be using the Media Components for playing and
progressively downloading your .mp3 files, the buffertime in these
components will work correctly. You will also then have the ability
to seek, pause, play, stop and a bunch of other commands that you
just won't get when using the .loadSound() functions of flash 7. To
actually stream your .mp3 files you will need to use the Flash
Media Server, this will allow you to seek to all points of your
audio before it has been fully downloaded. In addition the problems
you are experiencing seem to be bandwidth issues, depending on your
host you may not see any improvements.

Prevent Mail from showing Attachments inline

Hi there, does somebody know how to prevent Mail to show attachments inline ?
Thanks for your help.
regards,
kd

Sometimes zipping is not an optimal solution, such as when sending to a non computer savvy recipient who may not understand zip files. Is there no way to make sure that an attached image will show as an attachment to the recipient (and therefore by easy to download from the email)? Thanks.

Deactivate "play sound" option in Find my iphone app

while using "Find my iphone" I activate the "play sound" option my iphone 4s that is still offline (stolen) how can I deactivate the "play sound" option?

Thank you for your answer, I want to deactivate this option in case the phone goes back online, so the thief doesn't have any worries about me finding his place. So there is no way that I could deactivate it right? p.s: I'm sorry for the wrong syntax, I'm french educated anw I hope that you understand my idea. Bboy Bash.

My ipod 5 was stolen but I have find my ipod installed on it but my ipod isn't/never was connected to a wifi network when it was stolen so how will my ipod play sound or go on lost mode and if there's no wifi connected to it?

my ipod 5 was just recently stolen in a waterpark (same with my best friend) and when i went on to find my ipod I pressed play sound and lost mode but it never successfully did all those things because my ipod wasn't or isn't connected to a wifi network as it says in the app. so how will I ever find my ipod if it never is going to connect to a wifi network without the thief accessing my ipod (I have a passcode). and also when I check the app once in a while it says ipod is online but cannot find location, so does that mean the thief is using my ipod or is trying to get in?

Yo are correct. It has to connect to internet for the FindMyiPhne features to be transmitted to the iPod
lost/stolen
No app on the iPod is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or conbtinue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
iCloud: Erase your device
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
