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.

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 do I stop iphoto from opening every time I connect my iphone to my computer?

I don't really want to sync my iphone with my iphoto. Whenever I plug my phone into my computer, iphoto automatically opens and asks if I want to sync. Is there a way to stop this from happening?
Thanks!

The RIGHT way is to copy photos from your phone to iPhoto and delete them from the Camera Roll. If you still want them on the iPhone add them back to the photo album app. The Camera Roll is a bad place to leave photos that are important, and a silly place to leave photos that are not. It is intended as temporary storage, jost like any digital camera.
iPhone will not open if the camera roll is empty.

How do I stop FunMoods from opening every time I open a new tab.

I tried changing the about:config line url:blank but that didn't work. Screw FunMoods.

Try to reset the funmoods prefs on the about:config page.
*Open the about:config page via the location bar and do a search for funmoods via the Search bar at the top of the about:config page. 
*Reset all funmoods related prefs that appear bold (user set) via the right-click context menu to their default values.
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

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.

How do I stop apps from reloading every time I unlock my iPhone?

How do I stop apps from reloading every time I unlock my iPhone? I have an iPhone 4 and at least 95% of the time I unlock it, some apps act as though they are reinstalling. It only lasts for about 3 seconds if that but it makes me feel like something is wrong with it. Does anyone else have this problem??

Could you explain what you mean by this? What is happening that makes you think they're reinstalling?

Any way to stop iPhoto from launching every time iPhone syncs??

The subject posting says it all: Is there any way to stop iPhoto from launching every time I synch my iPhone? I've clicked this and that, checked this and that. I must be missing something so if someone could help, I thank you in advance.

OR ... delete the photos from the phone after they were imported. If you want those photos to be on the phone, set them to import during a sync. Getting them out of the iPhone's "camera roll" album is the key here.
An easy way is to set up a iPhoto album called "for iPhone" or something. When your new photos are initially imported into iPhoto they will be in the "last roll" smart album. Select them from there and drag them into your "for iPhone" album and make sure that album is selected to sync. Either check the "delete photos after importing" box in iPhoto or delete them manually from your "camera roll" album on your iPhone after the sync. iPhoto will not automatically open until you take new photos.
Remember ... setting Image capture to not open iPhoto, as well as the setting iPhoto to delete photos after importing ... will apply to your camera or memory card device as well.

How do I stop the "drag firefox into the applications folder" dialog box from opening every time I open Firefox on my iMac?

When I installed Firefox on my iMac, a dialog box appeared telling me to drag the Firefox logo into the Applications folder, which I did. Firefox works fine, but every time I open it this dialog box opens before Firefox does, and I have to close it out. This is irritating. How can I stop it from opening again?

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.

How do I stop one extra tab from opening every time I start Firefox?

Every time I open Firefox, my Yahoo homepage opens, but an additional page also opens which has a variety of website thumbnails and nothing else on that page.
In my Options, I have ONLY www.yahoo.com selected as my homepage, so only ONE page should be opening every time I start Firefox.
However, no matter what I do, this second page continues to open every time. It's very irritating, as half the time I've already begun to enter data into my homepage, then the second page pops up and switches to that and I'm typing on that page.
Please advise.

Thank you!! That fixed the problem. The only add-ons I have are for my anti-virus software WebRoot, but somehow I must have installed Speed Dial without realizing it.
That fixed the problem. Greatly appreciated!!

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?

When I open browser I get my home page and foxtab page; how do stop foxtab from opening

How do I stop the Welcome to Firefox tab from opening every time I open Firefox?

I have read two ways to try and stop this in the help but they either did not apply or I could not do what they suggest.
Every time I open Firefox of late the Welcome to fire fox tab opens along with my home page. It is only a small annoyance to turn it off each time but I would like to stop it from happening. What can I do?
I found another where they say to delete something out of the about.config but I was not able to delete the line. I could not find how to delete a line out of the about config.

You can check the home page setting:
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
There is software like Advanced SystemCare with its Surfing Protection feature that can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes.
If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.

How can I stop Game Center from opening every time I finish a game?

I despise Game Center and don't want to use it. Every time I finish a game of Real Solitaire, Game Center opens and bothers me about not logging in. This is on an iPad 4/128gb. I never had this problem until I got the new iPad. Is there any help, or am I simply going to have to tolerate this unwelcome, unwanted intrusion?

You can also use the settings in Image Capture to set which devices open/not open specific Applications.
Open Image Capture from the Application folder and connect the camera or iphone. Once it is detected, you will be presented with an application opening list at the bottom left corner where you can select what happens when that device is connected including iPhoto, iTunes or none. Each device can be configured differently.
You may also have to go into the FinePix settings and see if there is a setting in that Application to turn off it automatically loading every time the camera is connected.
Hope this helps

I don't want to see the Create, etc window when opening PS CC2014. How do I stop it from appearing EVERY time I start PS?

Overall, I like PS CC 2014. However, the most annoying thing is the popup window that appears EVERY time I start the program. It's the one with "Create", etc at the top and links to a bunch of videos. How do I make it so I no longer have to see it any more?

Scroll to the bottom of the Welcome screen. There you can tick 'Don't show ...'

How do I stop the "Getting Started with Mozilla Firefox" tab from opening every time I open FF?

Every time I open FF, the "Getting Started with Mozilla Firefox" tab opens. I have checked and it's not in my homepage list.
If I open any additional windows, it doesn't open.
But, once I close all of them and reopen it again, the tab opens.
I've had a similar problem with a couple addons (ietab) doing the same thing.

about:config is typed into the address bar as if you were going to a web page.
It will popup a message warning you that you are messing with important stuff.
Just agree.
