Startup sound.. anyway to stop it from playing everytime?

I know the startup sound is like Mac tradition or something but is there a way to turn that god awful sound off?

3rd party utilities can do this (some free, some not):

How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?

Simple and annoying. . Extremely frustrating issue with Firefox for Android. ..
I watch a YouTube video or any flash video. . And after I hit play, the ONLY way to stop it is to hit pause or let it play to the end or close the tab. .
It will NOT automatically stop if I open another tab. or if I navigate from Firefox. .
I feel this is a very basic feature. Did I set something up that was wrong?
Can I ask two questions?
I have another extremely annoying and frustrating problem with Firefox for Android.
The "top" (if you pull down the tabs) search bar DOES NOT allow my stock Samsung keyboard to auto space. . Thus instead of typing
"How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?"
I'll type in
"HowdoIstopFirefoxfromplayingvideoafterInavigatefromthepageorleaveFirefox?"
Unless I manually got the space bar.
Using a recently factory data reset Samsung Galaxy s4 active.. android 4.2.2 and stock Samsung keyboard ... Firefox 34.0.1
Thanks in advanced.
Ps
I was a hardcore xscope user for years and just recently gave in to Firefox when i lost all my bookmarks due to a forced factory data reset. .

I'm using a different keyboard which works fine in the most top search bar...
I cannot believe that it's not a feature.
What if I was watching a video and wanted to shut it off quickly? I'll have to hit back? Wait for the previous screen to load then hit the power button?
Please tell me that feature ids soon to come

Sound set to stop but keeps playing

I am creating a progressive download movie for the web using
the flv. In a new Flash doc, I have an imported .mov on one layer,
that was created and exported from a different Flash doc. I have an
mp3 on the layer above the imported .mov. The movie plays fine, but
the sound will not stop, except when I preview it using
Control/"Play".
I used the Properties panel to set the Start/Loop in frame
one of the Sound layer and Stop/Loop in the last frame on that
layer where I want it to stop, I publish the new swf movie and its
flv. I open just the new swf in a browser to check it and all looks
good except the sound won't stop.
Where is my problem? The imported movie shows only on one
frame in the new fla file, so I am setting the Stop for the sound
layer on the last frame based on the original fla that the imported
move was created in.

Learned that if I put the stop in the top layer, it stops.
why is that?

Stop F8 from playing presentation?

I just started using Keynote instead of powerpoint for school. Powerpoint is just too buggy and started crashing on me the night before my last test. For school I play the lecture with quicktime while I type notes in Keynote. I will push F8 to play/pause the lecture to take notes. However, F8 also puts Keynote in presentation mode. Can I stop this?
Thanks,

"3.) And lastly one can make one's own playlists. This can be quite entertaining and satisfying."
Ok Thanx
Well yes I can make as many playlists as I need. But as you probably know, the creation of the play list doesn't eliminate iTunes from playing every tune in the library list, when you open another sound file from somewhere else on your hard drive, unless you manually stop it from doing so.
Sorry - I'm just used to using an independant player which only opens the file and doesn't open an entire application and it's library.
Thanx

Stop music from playing

How do I prevent the music app from playing every time I end a call using my Bluetooth device or headset? It is very annoying when at work and a call ends my music automatically starts to play through the head set or my Bluetooth.

Sorry but this solution is **bleep**. This is a but that needs to be fixed. FYI, the problem show up if you end a call from the headset or from the screen.
Also, the Droid seems to issue stop commands for Music and other apps such as Google Listen. It's another bug that is likely related to the same issue.
Google needs to get off their {word filter avoidance}
and fix the problem. Verizon needs to stop giving out {please keep your posts courteous} solutions and start pressing Google to fix the problem.

Hi I understand you are having issues with your music application and I can certainly look into this for you. Are you referring to the default music application or did you download another application via the app market?
What you can do is stop the music application completely when you are not using it. You can do this by going to Menu-Settings-Applications-Manage Applications-Running and then click on the "music" application to force stop it.
Please let me know if this works or if you are using a different application.
Thanks!

Stop podcast from playing the next one ??

Hi guys,
How can I stop the iphone from playing the next podcast? I subscribe to a podcast and have about 20 shows that I have to listen to, but after it finish playing one, it goes to the next one and I dont want that. How could I tell the iphone to stop after finishing one podcast ?

Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

Stop song from playing

My question is, how do i stop a song from playing without turning it off? I know how to pause, skip back/forward, but is there a way to stop a playing song altogether? Thanks for your help.

The pause button stops a song playing, there's no need for an extra button for stop. You pause the song and move to another and press play or pause it and after a period of time the iPod will close down on it's own.

Stop music from playing automatically

I have some music files on my website (at http://www.opusonejazz.com/Opus%20One%20Vocal%20Jazz%20Ensemble/Music%20Samples. html), which apparently from a report I have gotten play automatically on some peoples computers (i don't know their system specs). I don't have the files set to play automatically-I checked the Javascript file.
How can I prevent the clips from playing automatically, no matter what a user's settings are?
Thanks!

Your music file are set to not autoplay and your images used in your page are nearly as large in file size as them.
http://www.opusonejazz.com/Opus%20One%20Vocal%20Jazz%20Ensemble/Images/Opus%20On e%27s%20First%20Photo.JPG
Over 1.5 MB's when it should be 20 KB's. Use something to reduce that file size and don't place so many files on the same page.

How to stop Firefox from launching everytime I turn on my MacBook?

Hi Everyone,
Everytime I turn on my MacBook, Firefox launches. It really bugs me, and I tried to stop it, but couldn't find how, either in system preferences or in the firefox menus.
Can someone please help and tell me how to stop it from happening?
Thanks already,
Quentin

This usually happens because you've added the application to the Login Items list in the Accounts preferences. Open Accounts preference, click on the Login Items tab, locate the Firefox entry, select it then click on the "-" button to delete it.

How to stop sound from playing everytime we go to 1st frame ?*

Hi everyone, my app has 3 frames and a sound playing on background so everytime i go to 1st frame the music play's over himself,
is easy to get 5 instances of the music playing at same time.
How to stop this behavior ?
Music file imported to library.
Sound Linkage: export for actionScript
Sound Linkage: export in frame 1
Any help are welcome
Flash CS6 - AIR 3.4 Android and iOS > CODE:
//sound
var bgSound:BGLoop = new BGLoop();
var channel:SoundChannel=new SoundChannel();
playMusic();
//making mute;
soundBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP , mute);
function mute(event:MouseEvent) {
    //removing mute function then adding unmute function to same button
    soundBtn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP , mute);
    soundBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP , unMute);
    //making symbol to visible;
    soundBtn.gotoAndStop(2);
    //set the volume false;
    SoundMixer.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(0);
//making unmute
function unMute(event:MouseEvent) {
    soundBtn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP , unMute);
    soundBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP , mute);
    soundBtn.gotoAndStop(1);
    //set the volume true;
    SoundMixer.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(1);
function playMusic():void {
    channel = bgSound.play();
    channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, loopMusic);
function loopMusic(e:Event):void {
    if (channel != null) {
        channel.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, loopMusic);
        playMusic();

Another way to do this is to create a boolean right off the start. Lets say var createMusicTrack:Boolean and set it to true
Then load your music and start playing it and at the end of that load code add a line that sets the boolean to false so that when you come back to frame 1 the boolean will be false and the code will not load and play, but this could be problematic too. Djnr suggestion is better for your purposes.

How to stop video from playing?

Hi,
i have a problem that i've already see that is pretty usual, the videoplayer that i have works fine but when i click in a button to go to another page the videoplayer doesn't stop,the audio continues playing even when i'm not on the videoplayer page.
I've already found some solutions in the web but none of them worked,probably because i didn't put them in the right place
The code is a little long:
// ############# CONSTANTS
// time to buffer for the video in sec.

Can't stop audio from playing back on my MacBook Pro

First, Im new to Mac, Ive only been using it for a month, but loving it so far. =) I'm trying to record vocals in Logic Pro 9. My set up right now is MXL 990 plugged into a Phonic Firefly 302 USB interface and that is plugged into my MacPro. Now my problem isnt really with recording, I can record vocals fine. My probem is I want to hear my vocals with all the effects and plugins on when I record. But my mac wont stop playing back my dry vocals through my computer. I dont want to monitor vocals through my mac, only through logic. So i tried to go into Audio MIDI Setup and mute the playback but when I do that I cant record them in logic anymore. Its really annoying everytime I try to record hearing a version of my vocals with effects and hearing another version dry all at the same time, and they arent even in the exact same time, so you get a little slap back echo super annoying. My Audio MIDI Setup is set to "Built in Output - use this device for sound output. Phonic Firefly USB - Use this devise for sound input. I have tried setting that to the output also but it didnt do anything, still had the echo.

Thank you for your replay
It was working on my Mac before installing the new update of Mac software. then its corrupted
from where I can ask for refund? as I bought from App Store ?
regards

Stopping Audio from Playing

I am using frames in my timeline to represent different pages
for a
website.
Example:
Frame 1-30 is the home page tweening in with navigation
linking to other
frames, and there is a stop action on frame 30, so the
timeline does not
continue to play beyond there until the user clicks a button.
On frame 15 I dragged music to the stage that plays while the
home page
is fading in, and continues to play once it stops on frame
30.
If the user selects a button and goes to a different page
before the
song finishes, it still continues playing the music on the
later frame.
1.) How do I set it up so that as soon as the user selects a
button to
go to a different frame, the song stops playing?
Thanks!

I am using AS3.
If I place my audio into a MC and then place the MC into my
main
Timeline, how would I then get it to do what I need?
Thanks!!!!!

How to stop video from playing while working on menu

I have some menus with a bunch of moving video clips in drop zones in them. After some fiddling around with preferences, the clips are playing while working on the menus rather than just showing still images. I havent seen this behavior before.
Anyway, its making it excruciatingly, hair pullingly, jump out the windowly, eventually the app does not respondly slow to do any work in the app. Anyone know what stupid setting we must have changed?
thx

Thx for the speedy reply. I'm not sure what was happening, but thankfully the app was so overwhelmed that I had to force quit it. Aside from losing my recent changes (aarrggh why no autosave in dvdsp) it was a blessing because on opening the app again, problem gone. Didnt have to jump afterall. I'll try some experiments with those keystrokes once the app is done rendering these menus.

Startup sound.. anyway to stop it from playing everytime?
