How to stop Flash from automatically playing videos?

Some web pages have, either for advertisement or content, a box playing videos automatically. An example is Yahoo Finance playing Bloomberg videos. It costs bandwidth on some devices. I was not able to find any way to stop it. Some advices found elsewhere recommended checking ActiveX Filtering. In Yahoo case it doesn’t work. What else can be done to stop this behavior? Windows 8.1, IE11, FP 16.0.0.235.

I revive this question. Maybe this time somebody will know the answer.

How to stop videos from automatically playing in safari?

Recently, when I open various web pages in Safari 7.0.6, running OS 10.9.4 videos will start playing immediately. Sometimes 4 or 5 on one page all at once. I did a search for this issue and found the suggestion to run click to flash. I have it installed and turn on so that isn't a solution at this time. Another suggestion was for clicktoplugin but I do not find one with that name.
This is very annoying as they often come on very loudly and I have to scroll up and down the page trying to find the window or windows with the videos playing. They can be way down at the bottom of the pages.
Can anyone help me fix this?

Click to Plugin is what I use. It is available here:

I set the preferences to pre-load but NOT play even after I click on something I want to see.

How to stop Acrobat from automatically opening created PDF?

This may be a question asked elsewhere, but my search didn't find it.
How can I stop Acrobat from automatically opening every PDF that I create in Adobe Reader? I'm using using Acrobat 6.0 Pro.
Thanks for your help with this major annoyance!
Cheers.

Adobe does not recommend Reader and Acrobat both be installed. They have strange interactions and can cause problems. If you do not have problems, you are lucky. Part of the problem is that they leave a part resident to enable quick opening. If it works for you, then fine. If you have some problems, you at least have an idea of what a prime candidate is for the error.

Stop videos from automatically playing

When I navigate to any number of sites, videos sometimes up to 8 of them will all begin playing. It's crazy. I've lost control of my browser. Is there a way to prevent videos, flash or otherwise from automatically playing. I've already installed click to flash, but that only accounts for half the content being pushed at me.

Hello,
I am not sure which widget you are using but you can try the suggestions in the steps below to add videos to a muse site.
Also make sure you have mp4 or webm file format.
To import video in Muse you can use following steps.
1. Import Video to Asset tab
Go to File > Add Files to upload and select the file that you want to import. This will copy the file in asset tab in muse.
2. Insert HTML code :
     a. Go to the page on which you want to place the video.
     b. Go to Object > Insert HTMl
     c. Paste the code mentioned below and update the <filename> with your file name
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
   <source src="assets/<Filename>.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
Hope this will help you what you desire to achieve.
Regards
Vivek

How to stop music from auto play on car charger?

I have a USB port in my car and whenever I put my iPhone 5 on charge it automatically starts playing my iTunes music. I don't want it to do this bc it interferes with whatever we are currently listening to in the car. Is there a setting or something I can change?
Thanks !!

How to stop iPhoto from automatically launching?

I'm not sure if this is specific to any version of iPhoto or not.
But anyway, when I insert a compact flash card into a USB card reader attached to an iMac, iPhoto automatically launches. How do I turn this functionality off?
Thanks

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
NOTE: this is not the same as routinely backing up your entire iPhoto library folder to protect your photos. It only protects the loss of your organizational efforts that the database file contains.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

How to stop formspring from automatically signing me in when nothing appears in "saved passwords."

This isn't much of a problem, rather an annoyance. On my computer, a laptop, Firefox keeps logging me in automatically to formspring.me. I've gone to Tools>Options>Security>Saved Passwords and there's not a single password saved in there or a website - it's empty. I've signed out of formspring.me and signed in manually and made sure that the "remember me on this computer" box was unchecked and signed in, signed out and refreshed and Firefox still signs me in automatically. How do I stop this from happening?

I went to Tools > Options > Privacy and I don't see "Cookies." The only things I see are these:
"History:
Firefox will: Never remember history
Firefox will use the same settings as private browsing, and will not remember any history as you browse the web.
You may also want to clear all current history.
Location Bar:
When using the location bar, suggest: Nothing.
OK, Cancel, Help"
If it counts for anything, I'm currently using Firefox 3.6.13.

I can't figure out how to keep sites from automatically playing audio and video.

Internet Explorer has (or used to have anyway) an option to not automatically play multimedia content in web pages. I can't figure out how do this in Firefox to keep every third web site from sodomizing the music I'm listening to. This option is desperately needed.

This add-on has been removed by its author. Does anyone know of another one that does basically the same thing? I have searched add-ons & googled, but just keep getting referenced to this no-longer-available software. Help!

Can someone tell me how to stop itunes from saving my media to two files?

I know the answer is simple...but I can't seem to find it in plain english!
So i bought a new used computer (lol) and took all my backed up music from my external drive and dumped it right into my computer. Put the whole MUSIC file into finder, under the "Music" section...then when that was done I dragged it into iTunes.
Well lo and behold my 500G hard drive is almost full! AGH! So i tediously went through files on my itunes, deleting all I could. Everytime it asked me if I wanted to move the files to the trash and I said YES!
Ok...so after hours of that, i look in my Music file in Finder (which now has a new folder from my external called MUSIC) and lo and behold...every file i deleted is still there!
So, I'm no dummy. I guess iTunes makes a new folder of iTunes media, something like that? Doubling everything?
I will gladly delete everything and start over if I must, but can someone please tell me how I can put music files on my computer without them doubling, or how to delete them and have them actually delete? Settings?!
help! Thank you!

Adding music to iTunes will copy it into the iTunes mdia folder.
Put it into /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/Automatically add to iTunes older.
This will move (not copy) the media.
You can delete the files you originally copied into the Music folder.

How To Stop Itunes From Continuous Play?

I'd like to only play one album at a time in Itunes on my computer but continuous play seems to be automatic and there are no options to control this in the Itunes preferences...?
I notice it happens a lot but it happens 100% of the time if I enter a name/style in the search bar of Itunes. For example if I enter "rock" in the Itunes search bar Itunes will play every single rock album even if I only pick a single album or even track to play.

I don't. I make them only for certain favorites I play a lot. I also use the search and let it bring up the person or songs I want and play from the playlist that way too. That is one thing I love about itunes. There are sooo many options for playing

How to stop images from automatically brightening in lightroom 2

I have been using lightroom 2 for a few months now and what I can't seem to figure out is once I import my images, and I start to preview them the images will automatically alter (saying rendering image), usually creating an image that is brighter and duller than my original image taken with my camera. I want to stop this so my images will hold the vibrance my camera has already created. I seem to be spending more time adjusting the images back to the original presets. Anyone know how to change this setting?
