Skype playing advertisements automatically without...

Hello. As of the last few days, I have been experiencing a large problems with the advertisements that play in the skype program on my computer. I do not mean the occasional ad that pops up when I'm in a call. My reference is towards the ads that play sound. They are loud and very obnoxious. I do not have a problem with the ads that are continually on my skype screen. While those are annoying, they are easily ignored. I, however have a tremendous problem with the voice ads that continually play. 
Earlier today, I had a very annoying and very loud Starburst commercial play for about 10 minutes. It looped continually until I clicked on it and it directed me to their facebook page.
I just want to know if there is a was a way to disable the sound of the ads. I don't mind keeping them, so long as they don't play sound.
And I have no interest in buying skype credits to remove ads completely.

I too have been getting advertisements, though the standout is an extremely loud Starburst advertisement that doesn't even display properly (it's cut off on the right).  Switching from windowed mode (which has ads on the top) to full screen mode (ads on the side) makes the ad play again, and it is extremely loud (far louder than anything else on my computer).

  • Stop Playing Flash Automatically

    I hate when my browser automatically starts playing flash
    advertisements. At the same time, I occassionally find flash
    useful, so I don't want to remove it. Is there a way to prevent
    flash from automatically loading and playing advertisements?
    Thanks.

    You might also try disabling unused ActiveX controls to run
    without prompting in your browsers security settings...Good
    luck!

  • How to Play One Song Without Repeat?

    I am a new Ipod user, with an 80 GB video version. (I don't think it's one of the latest new models, but the second to last generation. Is that "fifth generation"?)I updated it with the latest firmware, just a few days ago.
    I have used other MP3 players before though. In most respects I find the Ipod superior to the other MP3 players I have used. However, there is one setting, that I have made before on other MP3 players, for instance my old Creative Muvo 4GB (a few years old), which I cannot figure out how to set on my Ipod.
    How does one set the Ipod to play one song, without going on to the next one, and without repeating that one? The default (of course) is to play all the songs in the album or playlist, going on to the next one, when the current song is finished. Looking in Settings, I find one can set "Repeat" to repeat the whole playlist or album when one comes to the end of it, or set it to repeat the same song.
    But---what if one wants to play one song, and then have the Ipod stop (or at least pause), and not automatically go on to the next song, or repeat the same song? Is it possible to set that? I cannot see how. If there is a way to do that, please let me know.
    Some might ask--why would one want to do that? True, for normal use, the default setting is the best one, going on to the next song, as when one listens to a CD. But, there are cases where one might want the Ipod to play one song and stop. I'll explain my reason for wanting to make that setting--I am an elementary school music teacher. In my concerts with the children this upcoming week, I will put the musical accompaniments for my choirs on the Ipod, and play them from it. When the choir is performing a song, at the end of the song, I don't want the Ipod to start playing the next song on the list. I want it to stop or pause at the end. It will be a hassle for me to have to manually stop it at the right moment, and I might miss it, and it will start playing the next song.
    Any way to set it to play one song, and then stop? If so, please tell me.
    If not, I would hope that Apple would add that capability to the next firmware upgrade. Do they read here for user's suggestions? Is there another place to make suggestions for improvement in the Ipod firmware?
    Thank you for your input.

    Thank you for the reply, Chris.
    I thought of that idea, a separate playlist for each song. That would be fine, if I was only playing one song. But I want to have the list of songs ready to play, so was going to put them in a playlist together. I need to be able to get to the next song quickly, without a lot of messing around with the Ipod.
    Is it possible to put playlists within playlists? Then, perhaps I could make an individual playlist for each song, and make a playlist with all those one-song playlists together. If that is possible, it probably still would make it too complicated to go to the next song, probably having to use the menu button to go back to the higher playlist, etc. I want to keep playback simple.
    I may try your idea of creating a blank "song" to put between tracks. (Is there also no way currently otherwise, to put a certain amount of empty space in between tracks?)
    Thanks also for the feedback link. I will send this concern to Apple, and hope they add that capability soon.

  • Flash CS6 cant open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?

    Flash CS6 can't open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?
    I'm just trying to preview an swf file in flash like I have with all previous versions.

    What if my SWF loads external content from an online server?
    Not only does the current flash player prohibit such activity, it doesn't even pop open an error anymore saying there was an error connecting to an online source.
    Normally, I would simply drag the SWF into Flash and all connections would go through.  I could see traces, errors, and experience no issues.
    Now I can't even do that.  So what then?  You have crippled a fundamental use of the program, but THANK GOD we have that deco brush that nobody asked for.
    And for the record, the nature of my work benefits from not necessarily allowing the Flash Player to connect to online content.  The error it pops up?  That's simply another method of error checking that I require.  Updating the Flash Player options is not an option.
    Why would you even remove this key feature from Flash anyways?  It's been there for years ... has the ratio of people importing SWFs (a rather useless gesture in an increasing OOP world) really outweighed the people using Flash as a testing environment that much?

  • ITunes starts and plays songs automatically

    I installed Itunes 12.0.1.26 and Yosemite last night and now iTunes starts and plays songs automatically.  What is the problem with iTunes?  Could someone else have my iTunes account?  Should I delete ITunes and re-installed?

    I agree with/have same problem as vinfromacton.
    I know it's Flash causing the problem:iTunes had been functioning normally until this morning when I downloaded Flashto allow me to listen to archived radio programs on the internet.
    Once I downloaded Flash, iTunes startedopening and playing automatically ~ every 2-3 minutes. Annoying as it playsover audio I am listening to &/or recording.
    Only fix I've found is to turn iTunesvolume down to zero: does not stop iTunes from opening - it continues to do so- but I don't hear the iTunes audio.
    I'm also going to try dr alexander'ssuggestion: Open a blank Playlist > leave iTunes focus there>quit iTunes.
    It reopens but at least it'ssilenced....
    Haven't tried it but I would imagine uninstallingFlash (need to download the uninstaller from the Adobe website) would solve theproblem. This however would lead me back to my original problem: no Flash >cannot listen to audio archived on the internet and other internet audio...
    I'm also going to call Apple: I haveAppleCare. Will re-post after talking to them.

  • Ms Excel move automatically without pressing Enter or Tab to the next cell

    Hi, I wonder if it is possible to make Ms Excel move automatically without pressing Enter or Tab  to the next cell once a certain number of digits is entered, for example, I'm using a barcode scanner to scan a barcode of 13 digits, so I want Excel
    to move to the next cell once the barcode is scanned.
    example: I'm In cell A1,  this code appeared after scanning "AABB1234567CC", I want Excel to move to A2 in order to scan the next barcode.

    Hi,
    Excel has no direct feature or option to achieve your goal. We'd better try the macro via VBA code to test. Please see the thread:

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

    I'm a new iPad owner. When I've rented a movie, I can't work out how to play it back without a wifi connection. I get a message which says you cannot connect to the iTunes store without an Internet connection. This happens whether I've rented or purchased a film. We're going on a flight soon and would ideally like to watch one on the plane. Can someone please provide some step by step instructions. Thanks.

    Rented or purchased video are watched through the videos app after you have downloaded them, iTunes on iOS devices is for buying media only.

  • HT5295 How can I stop the auto play feature automatically playing/streaming the next podcast?

    How can I stop the auto play feature automatically playing/streaming the next podcast?

    Hi there.
    I listened to podcast there were two things I found that helped me out. Both we're in the podcast app itself.
    Firstly change the default sorting order. When looking at the list off episodes a available on your ios device tap on the description part at the top, this will bring up the settings for that podcast (subscribe mark as played etc) scroll to the Bottom and select oldest first. This will mean that if you are listening to the latest download it will stop at the end as there will be no more to play.
    Secondly, and useful if listening to older podcasts in the list, you can use the timer to stop once the current episode has ended. To do this when you are in the podcast playback screen slide the "album artwork" up, revealing the playback options and nifty tape playing animation this is where you adjust playback speed and set a timer. The timer has a number of options to set playback to stop after set amount of time. However one of these options is to stop once the current episode you are listening to ends. This can also be current chapter if the podcast you are listening to supports chapters.
    Hope this helps, if not clear let me know
