How to stop autoplay of videos?

June 2013: videos on websites start playing without my permission, how to stop this?
What I tried:
I uninstalled Adobe Flash (disabling Flash add-on didn't work), existing "stop autoplay" add-ons are no longer working according to reviews, tried solution described in "How can I stop videos on websites from automatically playing?" (Type in the address bar: about:config Then search for: plugins.click_to_play Double click and it will be set to true) - doesn't stop videos from playing either. Sent feedback to FireFox about the issue.
From what I had read in reviews, this is not only about Flash: YouTube disabled add-ons and searches for anything that can play videos installed in Windows, including using HTML5 for this. Have no information how other websites do it.
How to stop this?
Thank you.

For those of you who do not wish to use StopTube, the click to play plugin in the about:config works. You may just be missing one final step. Once you set the boolean to true, navigate to your firefox addons page and look for shockwave (adobe) flash plugin or whatever you use to play videos. Select the drop down to "ask to activate" and there you have it. When the boolean was set to false, the "ask to activate" dropdown option was unavailable.
Hope it helps.

How to stop iphone from autoplay when plug into car audio system usb?

how to stop iphone from autoplaying when connected to your car audio USB ?

You need to remove the association that Windows has with that particular file type. To do that, you need to open Windows Explorer. From there, click on Tools, then Folder options. Click on the tab that is named file types. You then need to find the extension for the photos that appear in the iPhone, then click that registered file type. Once you do that, there is a section to select the program to open that file type with. You can click on the change button, and that will allow you to change the program that it opens with, or restore the default. There is also a box that can be checked to always use the selected program. If you unselect it, it will prompt you next time on what program to use.
Hope this helps.

How to Stop Flash Autoplay?

I am a flash newbie and have searched this forum for a way to stop a particular flash file from autoplaying. There seems to be many threads on this subject but nothing appropriate to my problem.
The problem file/page is at: http://capesandcowls.info/77/superhero-movies/kick-***-%E2%80%93-new-superhero-movie/
Is the problem that I do not own the file? It is a publicity embed from the actual movie site.
The embed code is:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="400" height="300" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://kickass-themovie.com/videoembed/KickAss_VideoEmbed.swf" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" src="http://kickass-themovie.com/videoembed/KickAss_VideoEmbed.swf" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" ></embed></object>
Is there anything I can do to stop autoplay?

If you are saying you took this file from the web to use it for your own purposes without getting permission from the owners, you are probably looking for some potentially hefty legal troubles--advertising doing it on this forum won't help any. You cannot simply take and use content from the internet.
So, assuming you acquired and intend to use this item it in a lawful manner, if you do not have the source file you cannot edit it to not play automatically.

It seems that all Huff Post story vids autoplay..how to stop?

Recently It seems that all Huff Post story vids auto-play..how to stop aside from avoiding HuffPost?

Their web site is coded that way, and since they seem to be using Flash for their video content (at least those pages I checked), it's not something you can override.The only option I know of to stop this is to use a browser plugin that blocks the Flash plugin from loading automatically. In Safari I use the ClickToFlash plugin:

which works great for me.

External Hard Drives - how to stop LR3.3 wanting to import.

I have 3 external hard drives which I use for backing up pictures and other folders. Whenever I plug one of them in, LR opens the Import dialog, even though I have auto import switched off. It's not serious, but it is annoying! Can anyone tell me how to stop it doing this?

Try the following:
In <My Computer> right-click the external drive, in the dialog box click on <Properties>, and on the <Autoplay> tab. Select <Pictures> and Make <Select an Action to perform> active by clicking on the radio button. Scroll down the list and make sure that <LR import photos> is NOT selected. Or select <Take no action>.

How to STOP syncing with Outlook via GPRS?

I use an unlocked iPhone 3G with a prepaid mobile card.
Everytime I open my Calendar function on the iPhone (just to see the days and dates) the iPhone attempts to sync over the air with my Outlook account calendar via GPRS.
This costs a bomb on the prepaid card, and I want to stop the sync function.
Would someone kindly tell me how to STOP the iPhone from syncing with my Outlook Calendar?

If calendar events are synced over the air, this means you are accessing an Exchange account or a MobileMe account.
If you don't want to sync calendar events over the air with the account, you need to turn Calendars off for over the air syncing for the account preferences on your iPhone. This will erase all calendars and calendar events from your iPhone and you will need to sync direct with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process. If an Exchange account with Outlook on a Winblows PeeCee, this will not be possible.

how to stop voice control?

Hi Joannewpark,
Press your Home Button to get to the Home Screen.
Press Settings, then press again 2x fast - you will go to the Settings screen
Press on General, then press again 2x fast - you will go to the General screen
Use 2 fingers to indicate scroll up - Voice Over will begin to read the items on the screen, and will eventually get to the Accessibility option. When it says "Accessibility" press on it, then press on it 2x fast
It will go to the Accessibility screen, tap on the Voice Over option one, and then again 2x fast, now tap on the Voice Over option again, and then double tap to turn it off.
Cheers,

How to stop text box on iWeb page from automatically reverting to hyperlink when I click 'save'

As far as I see, the main text box in the body section of my iWeb page reverts to a hyperlink (connecting to a file) when I click save. I don't know how the hyperlink got activated to begin with--I must have done something, but I don't know what it was. I tried this many times to fix it: went to Inspector "hyperlink" section, activated the text box in the page, un-clicked "make hyperlinks active" (so they are inactive), then un-clicked "Enable as a hyperlink." That much works--the hyperlink (little white arrow in blue circle) disappears from the lower right corner of text box. But as soon as I save (command S), the text box reverts to a hyperlink.
If I don't click save and move around the pages, it does not revert to a hyperlink. It only reverts to a hyperlink when the file is saved. Why is it doing this and how to stop this from happening--how to permanently return the text box to a non-hyperlink?
The website page is: http://www.usronline.net/USR/VedicResearch.html. If you click anywhere randomly in the main text, you'll get a prompt to download a PDF file. This should not be, but I can't get this hyperlink to go away for good.
Many thanks in advance.

Please pardon the reply delay--a big project deadline had to be met. Now back to this work:
Yes, the text in the oval object had a drop shadow (the oval object itself did not). I removed the drop shadow from the text, but the image file icon stayed in the right corner of the oval object. I deleted the text and then the image file icon disappeared. But as soon as I typed text again inside the oval object (not even pasting the previous text) the image file icon appeared again. I deleted the oval object entirely and simply typed the text inside the main text box itself. The image file icon that was attached to that oval object is gone (along with the oval object).
Still the image file icon is attached to the main text box, though. I again tried to uncheck the Enable as hyperlink (same process as described in first posting) with that oval object gone, but when I "save" again it reverts to a hyperlink.
Next I tried this: I copied the text from the problem text box and pasted it into another text box (outside of the problem one). Still in the new text box with the pasted text, the image file icon shows in the upper right corner.
I also removed all the drop shadow features from this main text box (there was one more, on some words typed in the main text box), but it is still showing as an image.
I don't know how it became an image file, and I'm still stumped as to how to fix it (short of forgetting about trying to figure out how it became an image and just retyping all text into a new text box).
The link you provided for "Web Safe Fonts" is returning this: "The server at www.ampsoft.net is taking too long to respond." I'm using Arial and Georgia (Georgia only on the menu and header text) in the site, and I had verified before designing the site that these are web safe, so I had thought they were.
If you or anyone have any further suggestions or suspicions on this matter, I'd be glad to hear them.
Thank you.

Can't figure out how to stop my MBP from opening programs at startup, namely word and messages

Recenty my MBPro has started opening MS Word and Messages at startup and I can't figure out how to stop it? I've tried selecting and de-selcting the startup option from the dock but this doesn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions?

System Preferences has a setting for this.
In the Users & Groups section you will fine a "Login Items" header. This is a list of all the programs that will open automatically when you log in. You can select any program and click the [--] button below that window to stop the program from opening automatically.
