How to stop automatic LR opening?

Whenever I plug in an EHD I now find that LR 4 opens automatically. That was not the case last week so this is new and I cannot find a setting in Preferences to turn off. Can you tell me where that setting is located?

I am guessing you are on Windows from the behavior you described.
Control Panel
Autoplay
I am guessing one of them is set to launch Lightroom.
If you are not on Windows and these settings don't help, come back with more info.

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

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.

How to Stop automatic file saving on IPAD Adobe Reader 11.2

How can stop my PDF document being saved with the fillable form data when being using Adobe Reader 11.2 on an IPAD - the file is automatically saved when the user returns to the document folder. The original pdf file was created from a Word document and then text,signature and date fields added using Adobe Acrobat XI and saved using Standard Save function. I am trying to achieve my users completing the template form using the IPAD and then emailing it. However each time the form is filled and emailed (which all works fine) and the user returns to the "documents" folder, Acrobat Reader 11.2 automatically saves the file with the form data

I think the iPad forces a different way of thinking. In general, you don't have to save files on the iPad, and that's important. The iPad has complete liberty to quit an app when you want to run a different app, or just because it feels like it. When you restart a good app, things are as they were when it was quit.
Resetting is a possibility, but remember that because of this automatic quit/automatic restart it might happen when you don't want it. A reset BUTTON seems entirely possible.

How to stop automatic pop-up window "Firefox wants to use the font "Stone Sans Sem OS ITC TT Semi"?

Everytime I open Firefox I get the irritating pop-up window "Firefox wants to use the Font "Stone Sans Sem OS ITC TT Semi" on the volume, the font is not installed. I installed the font, but I still get it.
The window gives me options "Do not ask again" "Show in Finder" "Don't Allow" "Allow".
I click "Do not ask me again" and "Allow" but I keep getting this every time. How to stop it?! Thanks.

See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=567552 Bug 567552] – Fonts on External drive are activated by Firefox, and preference to not ask again is ignored

How to stop QT from opening my browser when I play an .mov ?

How do I stop QT from opening my IE6 and sending me to the ULR associated with the .mov? It is getting obnoxious, since file that I want to watch opens about three different browser windows... those open several more.

I hope there is some other solution as that seems like a horrble feature. Perhaps there should be a button to hid cloud content or to only play local content.
Who really wants to make local playlists all the time?

How to stop tabs re-opening after firefox crashes.........when it crashes and I have multiple tabs open, when re-starting firefox all of the tabs re-open too. How can I stop this?

Firefox crashes quite often, especially when I have multi tabs open. I usually have to use CTRL ALT DEL and end the process as Firefox stops responding.
My problem is not the crashing........it is the re-opening of the multiple tabs I had open, when normally it is one of them (not the home page) that caused the crash in the first place, so I cannot re-open firefox until I restart the pc, because every time I do it is the same story. Firefox tries to re-open all of the tabs and stops responding. I have looked in options but nowhere does it allow me to stop multiple tabs opening after a crash. If this continues, I will have to uninstall Firefox and stick to Chrome.

Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Restoring_a_session_after_a_crash
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

How to undo Firefox 5 in Win 7 and in XP? Generally, how to stop automatic Firefox updates?

Firefox 5 has reduced toolbar and other services on both of my 2 computers -- a Win 7 and an XP3. Would like to go back to version 4, stop automatic updates in Firefox.

How to stop php file opening in Dreamweaver

Hi,
I have never used Dreamweaver and I am not using it at present, but after installing Xampp on my PC, the php files open in Dreamweaver. The pages are blank so cannot even be modified. Is there a way I can stop these files opening in Dreamweaver?
Any advise would be appreciated.
thanks,
je543

Dreamweaver cannot open files if it is not installed. Be sure to check the Windows programs or Applications folder on a Mac. You can also run the Adobe Clean Script to remove all remnants of Adobe programs on your computer.

Alternatively you can always right click on a file in Windows or on a Mac and choose the associated program and change all files. By default those files will open in a text editor unless an HTML editor is around.

How to stop automatic connection to itune store when opening itunes?

when ever i try to open i tunes without internet connection,a warning diallog box appears saying that 'itunes cannot connect to itunes store.check internet connection'.ive tried disabling store,podcasts and everythng in itune preferences but still doesnt make any change..please help me out..please..:(

There is no issue here. If you have no Internet connection, it's impossible to access the store, therefore iTunes will alert you with this message so you don't get confused. You can use all the other offline features on iTunes, so you shouldn't be going through so much trouble to solve something which isn't a problem. There is no way to stop iTunes automatically attempting to access the store when you open iTunes, so you'll have to deal that message. If I'm not getting the issue, please tell me.

How to stop automatic date changes when opening an old document?

I use Pages to create my invoices. The problem I'm having is this: when there is a question about an invoice and I need to reopen it the date changes from the original date (which I need) to today's date. I understand why it does this, and I want it to do this when I create the thing, but is there a way to keep it from happening from saved documents?
As a follow up question: it must be very simple to find the date the document was created. Could someone please tell me where to find this?
Thanks in advance

You likely put a date stamp on your invoice via the menu hiearchy, Insert > Date & Time. Highlight the date string, then from a right-mouse button menu, choose Edit Date & Time... You will see another pop-up that gives you some control over your newly inserted Date & Time.

How to stop automatically backup on my external hard disk

Hi,
I have a macbook air. The first time I plug in my external hard drive (my external HD has many data from another Windows PC). Mac ask me whether I want to use this external HD for backup. Actually, I just wanna use it for data transfer but I accidentally say "yes". So, Mac delete all of my files from my external HD and start to create the backup file.
My questions are
1. How do I let Mac stop backup the file to my external HD
2. I loose all data from my external HD. There are about 200 GB. I heard that there are some data recovery softwares. Can you recommend me whether there is a free software which will works on this issue?
Please help me. Thank you very much.
Pat

Thank you so much BDAqua. I turn the Time machine off now.
About the format type, Macbook automatically did it. I guess format type is Mac OS Extended. I tried to connect this external HD to Windows PC but the PC cannot recognize it. So, I cannot recover from PC where I have recovery software. Do you have any idea how to let PC recognize this external HD?
I try to find the way but it seems I have to reconnect the HD back to Mac and try to recover on Mac. Is that only way? Do you have any suggestion? Thanks again.
Pat

How to stop automatic downloads after launching itunes...

Itunes sucked 10 years ago, and it still does today....
Here is the solution to that nagging problem of Itunes automatically downloading an app, music, book, etc everytime you launch it, even after you uncheck the settings for automatic downloads, and even after you try to pause and/or delete the specific download:
1.) Complete any downloads that you actually want itunes to download.
2.) Delete any downloads that you do not want.
3.) Close Itunes or make sure that it is already closed.
4.) Open the folder on your harddrive (or SSD) that contains the Itunes Media folder location.*
5.) Inside of that folder, open the folder named "Downloads".
6.) Select everything inside that folder and delete it. Those items will either go to your recycling bin or (depending on your Windows settings) if the file sizes are too great, they will be deleted off the drive.
7.) Restart Itunes and nothing should start to download.
*If you do not know where that folder is located click Edit--->Preferences...--->Advanced. The exact location to the folder is listed in the box titled Itunes Media folder location. Feel free to change it. I changed mine to d:\itunes. My d: drive is my harddrive. I refuse to put on my main C: drive because my main C: drive is an SSD, and everytime you write on an SSD you reduce its life span. Also, SSD's are limited in space.

I would like to know how to purchase something and not have it download at the time of purchase.

How to stop Adobe Reader opening pdf's in Safari

I've checked all the forums for this problem and have tried all the solutions, however none work for me.
I've deleted Adobe Reader and used a program call CleanMyMac to get rid of all files, so no plug-in's, nothing left of Adobe Reader. Yet, I cannot open pdf's in Safari as it still wants to use Adobe Reader.
I've right clicked other pdf's in my documents and have checked that they are opening with my default program, which is Evernote. The option to 'change all' is greyed out.
What else can I do, other than stop using Safari?

Adobe Reader installed? If so remove Reader.
Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plug-ins
Look for these two files.
AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
AdobePDFViewer.plugin
Right click those and select “Move To Trash”.
Remove CleanMyMac
