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 firefox from opening new tab when opening a pdf that is previously saved on my desktop?

    PC Windows 7 Pro 32 bit
    I have previously saved PDF files on my desktop. When I open the PDF, firefox sees fit to open a new tab even though I do not have the browser open. This is annoying because after I close the PDF I then have to close the New Tab browser window as well. This costs me a lot of productivity time as I open a lot of PDF's for work. The PDF file use to show the Adobe logo on the file on desktop. Once I installed firefox it now shows the firefox logo?
    I have already set PDF's to open with Adobe as default through Menu-Options-Applications

    Hello,
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
    #In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

    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.

  • HT203175 Reloaded Itunes on an XP machine. Reloaded because Itunes would not open. Now when I play a movie that is in my library, The movie plays for aprx. 60 seconds and then reverts back to my Itunes library. Any ideas on a cure?

    Reloaded Itunes on an XP machine. Reloaded because Itunes would not open. Now when I play a movie that is in my library, the movie plays for aprx. 60 seconds and then reverts back to my Itunes library. Does it with all movies in the library, Most where downloaded from Itunes. Any ideas on a cure?

    This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • How to stop Quicktime from opening every time I play an online video

    Everytime I open a video on CNN.com it opens in Quicktime. How do I stop this from happening?
    It used to play online through the website and I would prefer that it do this again. Any help?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    do you have the Flip4mac plugin installed?
    if you do, you'll see it at the bottom of the System Preferences window..... Open the Flip4mac preference, select the plug-in tab. There's a check-box for
    Launch Quicktime Player....movies will be launched in QT instead of the plug-in
    if that box is checked, you would get the problem you describe.

  • Can I close all layers? or even better, stop illustrator from opening all layers when I open a file?

    I just installed cs6, and when I open files in Illustrator, it opens all of the layers which contain sublayers.  It does this even if all the top-level layers were closed during the previous save.  The files I work with have a large layer-structure, so re-closing the top-level layers every time I open a file wastes a lot of my time.  Can I close all layers at once, or better yet, can I stop Illustrator from opening all of the layers automatically when I load a file?
    If not, then WHY on earth not?  I can't be the only one who opens and closes large files with lots of layers and sub-layers...
    Thanks for your help.
    Edit: I also am noticing this problem is even worse in cs6, because openning and closing individual layers plays a little animation of rotating the triangular arrow before the layer which, cute as it may be, just makes the task of individually closing up all my layers that much more tedious.  Can I turn off that little animation of the triangular arrow when opening and closing layers?

    You can save it as a pdf and when you open that in AI the layers will not be opened even if they have sublayers.
    Not true. Does the same nonsense an .AI file does. Saved as a .PDF, closed Layers/subgroups get opened.
    And no one cares!
    I do. Every other Adobe program with a layering sceme seems to be able to remember that you saved a file with all layers and subs closed. But not this one.
    Maybe someone from the AI development team should ask someone from the Photoshop team how they've managed it.....for decades.

  • How can I stop firefox from opening multiple tabs when I open the browser.

    When I open my browser it opens a Firefox has been updated tab and a yahoo has been updated tab along with my home page. My home page settings have no extras in the address. Help

    Did you perform the fixes from the "Preferences not saved" article?
    Try to delete or rename/move the prefs.js file and other possible prefs-##.js with a number and user.js files in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Make sure that Firefox isn't running when you delete files in the profile folder.

  • How to stop IE9 from opening web page in the middle of browser

    Greetings,
    I'm opening a page with a video on it and for some reason, IE9 insists on opening the page so that the bottom of the video is in line with the bottom of the IE9 browser window.
    It's like IE doesn't want to cut off the lower part of the video.
    FF is not having this problem and opens pages with videos as it should; at the top.
    This pic doesn't really do it justice, but when the page opens, the video is in line with the bottom of the browser window.
    Thanks for any help you can give!
    k

    It looks exactly the same to me in FF10 and IE9 on Vista.  The page is longer than my viewport.  I must use the vertical scrollbar to see the page bottom.   Hit Ctrl+ - a couple of times to Zoom Out.  Refresh the page (F5).

  • How to Stop Quicktime from Opening when Downloading a Song?

    I'm trying to download a song from an artists website. When I click on the song, a new window opens and quicktime starts to buffer the song for playback. This happens with both IE and Firefox.
    How do I disable this? My laptop doesn't do this, but my main desktop is.

    Why not just right-click and save the linked file to your computer?
    Open the .mp3 with any app you choose.
    You can disable the QuickTime plug-in from playing .mp3 files in a browser window by opening the QT Control Panel/Advanced and click the MIME Settings button. Remove the check mark for the .mp3 format and restart your browser for this change to take effect.

  • Stop Safari from opening last browsing session?

    Using Safari 5.1 (7534.58.3). I do a radio show twice per week.  While on the show, I open like 30 windows with articles or information I want to discuss on the show.
    When I'm done, I close the browser.
    Later, when I reopen it, the 15 or so pages i didn't get to come back.  Safari has remembered my browsing history and reopened all previous pages from my last broswer session.
    I don't like that and want to turn it off.
    Can I?
    IF so, how?
    If not, why not? 
    Thanks

    See

    Or you can also hold down "Shift" while clicking Safari to skip the loading of your last session when it is launched. This must be done each time though.

  • How to stop Finder from opening new windows to view contents of folders.

    I have 2 folders on my desktop, called "Home" and "Work." Both are aliases to files stored in user/documents on my HD. Both contain many folders within folders within folders and, ultimately, documents. When I double click on the "Home" desktop alias, a finder window opens showing contents. When I click on any folder within that window, it does what I want it to...switches to the contents of that folder (within same window, without opening a new one.) This works for everything in that folder.
    When I double click on a folder within the "Work" folder, however, it opens a new window at every level. By the time I get to the document I want, I may have 5 or 6 windows open, which I then have to manually close.
    I have gone into Finder/Preferences/General and the "Always open new window" box is NOT checked. Any one know why it would still be doing this? (No new applications are opening when I click on the folders, just a new finder window.) And why would it do it for one desktop folder and not the other?
    I looked through discussions till my head spun and only saw the Finder/Preferences fix, so I'm hoping there's another fix, like a preference file somewhere that I just need to trash. Any help would be appreciated.
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I don't know if this is the problem, but for windows in "Icon" or "List" view that are set so that the "Toolbar" is not showing, a folder opened within that window will tend to open a new window. This is just a difference in behaviour between the two modes. To show / hide the toolbar, try clicking the elongated button in the upper right corner, in the "titlebar" of the window, or choose "Show Toolbar" / "Hide Toolbar" from the "View" menu.
    Additionally, a workaround might be to switch to "Column" view ("View" > "as Columns" ⌘3), since opening a folder within a window in "Column" view does not appear to spawn a new window, even with the "Toolbar" hidden. Another option might be to hold down the "option" key while opening the folder - this causes the previous window to close as the new window is opened.

  • How to stop Frefox from being default browser? The links under tools do not match the answers in other discussions.

    I cannot get Firefox to stop being my default browser. I have read other answers online, but the links under the tools do not match, what the other say to click. I tried to go into internet explorer to change it, but the set default button is grayed out and does not work. Help. I cannot update my programs in Firefox.

    Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General: System Defaults: "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup"
    *Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
    *Use "Firefox > Options" instead of "Tools > Options" if the menu bar is hidden.
