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 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.

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!

How to display flash controlbar while playing videos on Oracle Apex 3.2.1?

Hi,
I´m developing an APEX application that displays Flash videos on a html page.
I could display the video, but without the flash control bar (PLAY, STOP, PAUSE, SOUND VOLUM, etc).
I´ve created an HTML region on a page with de following code:
<body>
<embed src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#lixao.swf" width="440" height="280" controller="true" align="middle" quality="high" loop="false" name="player" hidden="false" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
controller="true"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer/">
</body>
Could someone help me and explain what´s wrong with the code above?
Best regards,
Sergio Coutinho

Couple things here..
Please change forum name to something more friendly..
Please when posting, include such information as database version, APEX version
Also, I do NOT believe you need to include the <body> tag when building your region....
Modify this with your required paths and file names:
<object clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload. macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,16,0"
width="400" height="200" id="stage1" align="" >
<param name=movie value="stage1.swf"><param name=quality value=high>
<embed src="/i/flash/stage1.swf?clickTAG=f?p=&APP_ID.:9:&SESSION.::NO::" quality=high width="400" height="200" name="stage1" align=""

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.

How to Stop Premiere From Ruining My Video from T2i

Hi all... I have a bunch of raw video I shot on my Canon T2i. The shots are in low light with controlled lighting on the person speaking so that to get the effect of a black background. Straight off of the camera, the darks look solid black (backgroud) and the light up portions look great. And of course, the sharpness if exellent off of this camera.
The problem I am having is when I bring these clips into Premiere and just overlay some naration (audio only) and export them, the look MUCH worse. Premiere is lighting up the picture and reducing the contrast in all the shots. How can I stop the program from doing this? I want the video to be just like it was straight off of the camera. I took a lot of time to set up the lighting and the exposure on the camera to get the shot right and do not want to change it in Premiere when I edit the audio.

You should use a program that can edit this video format natively. Final Cut will do it on a Mac. So will Quicktime Pro, which works on both a PC and a Mac and sells for $29 at Apple.com.
Otherwise, if you must use Premiere Elements to do your editing, you use Quicktime Pro to convert the video to DV-AVIs or 1440x1080 HDV-MPEGs.
Premiere Elements can not currently work directly with this video format.

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

Is there a way to stop iTunes from automatically pausing videos when switching spaces in Lion?

I have some technical podcasts and iTunes U vids that I like to watch, but occasionally, I need to navigate away from the video to do something with another application... while listening to the audio of the video.
Every time I attempt this, however, iTunes stubbornly assumes that I no longer want the video to play since my focus is somewhere else. Frustrating! I've looked through preferences but cannot find a way to override this irritating feature. Any suggestions welcome.

No, say I just downloaded the new Spoon album and want to listen to it while I'm looking around in the main music list at other stuff.
I'd drag the new Spoon tracks into my static playlist named "Now Playing"
By static I mean, not a smart playlist.
I could just as well decide to listen to a Genius mix or itunes DJ, or even a smart playlist such as genre=jazz.
Any playlist but the main Music playlist, so I won't have to deal with that annoying jumping around while I'm working with other tracks.

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?
