Stop auto download and play of embedded video

How do I stop automatic download and play of embedded video on a website in Safari
Please help
Bruce

There is a preference setting in ClickToFlash (2.8.5) that will change default from autoplay to preload for html5 videos (Safari preferences, then select ClickToFlash, and click the checkbox to access settings for ClickToFlash, then go to the Media Player tab). That seemed to fix the problem. This should be built into Safari but apparently is not.

HT1977 how to stop auto downloads and taking money from my account

Please help,my itunes account started downloading apps and taking my money. What do i do to stop this

I have never heard of the app store automatically downloading apps if the user did not initiate the download by entering their password first. Sign out of your account and that should stop it.
If someone shares an Apple ID with you, then you might be seeing the downloads that they have purchased and that is why this happening - i f you have auto downloads turned on in Settings > Store > Automatic Downloads > Apps > On.
Does anyone share your Apple ID?

I have an ipad 2 and when connected to my wifi at home it will not download and play you tube videos quickly. Do I need to upgrade my connenction speed? What is the optimal speed?

I have an ipad2. When connected to my wifi at home it will not download you tube videos for easy viewing. Do I need to upgrade my connection speed? Would 3 Mbps be enought or do I need to go to 6 Mbps. I mainly use my ipad to view emails, browse the internet and watch you tube videos.
thanks - Michelle

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
There are a number of factors in the 'speed' equation. Any or all of them can affect the 'observed' speed of your connection.
1. Are you in a neighborhood full of WiFi routers (and thus, lots of WiFi interference)? I can 'see' at least 22 other WiFi routers from my living room!
2. What is the maximum connect speed and band and bandwidth available from your wireless router. Is it 802.11n or the older 802.11a/b/g? 300Mbits or 150Mbits? 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz or both? Does your router measure (QoS) Quality of Service and can it change 'channels' automatically?
3. What is the observed strength of your wireless connection? Are you getting at least 80% signal when connected? Are there other people in your family also using significant bandwidth at the same time (Netflix, streaming video, streaming audio, game systems)
4. What is the "advertised" speed of your current ISP connection?
5. What is the measured throughput of your current setup. Go to speedtest.net or use the free speedtest.net app available in the App Store. Try several times, from different locations in your home, and at different times of day and night.
I have AT&T DSL advertised at 3Mbit/sec down and 512Kbit/sec up. My Speedtest.net measured throughput is about 2.4 Mbit/sec downstream and upstream is about 0.4Mbit/sec. I'm using a Motorola Netopia 2210-2 DSL modem. I have no problem viewing YouTube videos and other mobile video content on the iPad 2. I'm connected wirelessly to a D-Link DIR-655 Gigabit router rated at 150Mbps at 2.4Ghz (only) with 802.11 b/g/n enabled. The interior of my home is within a range of 30-50 feet from the router and no more than 1 wall. It is a single level concrete slab foundation of about 1500 sq. ft. with cathedral ceilings. I have successfully streamed ESPN3.com on my MacBook at the same time my son was streaming another ESPN3.com game on his MacBook Pro. I've streamed YouTube videos while my son was watching a NetFlix movie on his Wii game system. He's also successfully used Skype for extended 'teleconferences.' None of my devices are connected to HDMI on a large screen TV. 95% of the time, I can do iChat video without any signal breakup to my son (who is at a college with a Gigabit (1000Mbit) wired connection!). 5% of the time the connection drops. We haven't tried FaceTime (designed for mobile connections to be much less bandwidth-intensive, from what I understand) simply because we both have iChat on our computers.
So for me, a 3Mbit DSL connection is absolutely adequate, given all the other parameters mentioned. As the car manufacturers say, "Your mileage may vary."

Only half of the book will download and play from my ipod. Help!

I have purchased several audio books on itunes. Most of them download and play just fine. There are four or five of them that download in two separate halves. The entire book will download and play from the itunes library on my computer. However, only the first half of each book will download and play on my ipod. The other half shows up on my ipod, but it is greyed out and won't play.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

IPad2 won't play some embedded videos

For some strange reason iPad (iOS6.1) is no longer playing some embedded videos.
The symptoms are, that where the video has been embedded in a Forum post the screen is completely blank. There is no frame where the video should be, nothing!
The only way I can watch the video is the "quote" the post, copy the link into a browser, either Safari or Chrome and then it plays perfectly.
Has anybody any clue as to why this is happening?
Is it an issue iPad has with the way that the video has been embedded?
Help appreciated.

Hi,
I had the same issue.
After resetting the network settings everything works fine again.
YouTube App and the videos you posted above didn't play.
After resetting, they are playable.
Try it out.
Best regards,
Tolga

To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to prevent the automatic downloading of the SD version when you buy an HD show.
You can, if you wish, suggest that the ability to prevent the SD version from downloading through the iTunes feedback page. But since the SD version is needed for use on iPods and there at least at present is no mechanism for someone to download the SD version at a later time should they decide they need it, Apple may just continue to force the downloading of both versions. If they get enough feedback on the issue, though, they may figure something out.

GPO is set for "Auto download and notify for install" but it does not work correctly on two of my servers.

Hello,
I have a problem with two of my servers. I have ~200 servers which are updating fine through WSUS. The settings are as you can see "3 - Auto download and notify for install" in the GPO.
This is the correct setting. I want to achieve that I can install the updates whenever I want on these servers. On client computers there is a strict schedule with auto installs.
My GPO works fine for 98% of my servers. On two servers (a big file server and a TMG server) the settings are made as you can see in the screenshots, but the updates still get installed automatically.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here... It is a big problem for me that updates get installed automatically on these servers.
Although the Policy and the Registry both say 3 the server behaves like option 4 is active.
I would be very thankful for any input on how to find out what's the issue here.

and was not able to find any sign of an admin installing it in the WindowsUpdate.log.
Then the Windows Update Agent DID NOT install this update, and it's not really a WSUS issue.
My typical response to such a claim would be to ask you to show me in the WindowsUpdate.log where the update was installed... but it seems that request has already been answered.
The more relevant question it seems, is HOW DID these updates allegedly get installed?

If you've paused the download (they are partially greyed out on the duplicates screen ?) then you will need to delete them from download window, you can't (as far as I know) delete partially downloaded items from that screen. When you have items downloading, or downloads that are paused, you should have a downward pointing arrow at the top right of the iTunes screen
If you click that arrow you should get a popup window with the items that are downloading/paused - and you should be able to select and delete them (or resume their download) from there.

I can not download and play HD rented movies through my TV2

My Problem:
I can not download and play HD rented movies through my TV2
and get the following message "an error occurred loading this content. Try again later"
Do others have the same problem of not being able to play rented HD?
All my other activities are normal. I can play Standard Def rentals, Movie Previews, HD MLB, and all else as necessary except HD rentals
I have a 13.5 Mbps connection.
I have gone through ALL of the expected procedures. Changed the cable, did a reset, did a restore.
This has happened with two TV2's as I replaced the first one due to the "unable to update issues"
The current TV2 now has the current up to date software since that issue has been resolved for all.
Any answers???
Location Melbourne Australia.

This is a new TV2. Actually my second. First bought less than 2 weeks ago. it was returned to the store and replaced because of the issue of not being able to update the TV2 software from 4.1.1 to 4.2.2.
Both machines had that same problem, and both could not play the rented HD movies.
The second TV2 has sicne been able to update to 4.2.2 when everyone else who had that problem went away this last weekend. So I have gone from 4.1.1 on two machines and no HD rentals to the current one updated to 4.2.2 and still no HD rentals.
The Standard def comes in fine and no real delay. And IF the movie previews are HD (when it is turned on in settings) then I have had NO problems viewing them.
I also have NO problem viewing HD MLB games on the TV2

Is it safe to download and play games

is it safe to download and play games? (minecraft,sims)

You can download games from the web that cannot be purchased or downloaded from the Mac App Store as long as they are Gatekeeper-approved apps (apps that are trusted by Apple). If you download a game that isn't approved by Gatekeeper, it is a little risky. However, if you download the game from a well-known source like EA online or through the EA Origin software, it is perfectly okay. Also, for games like Minecraft, it is okay, as long as you downlaod them from the correct source. For Minecraft, just buy it from Minecraft.net and download it like you are supposed to. Why would it not be safe? If you are not illegally downloading the games from websites like The Pirate Bay, and you are actually buying the game like you are supposed to, you should be okay. For more information on Gatekeeper, visit the links I've included below.

Depending where you are, there can be slow downs on the servers.
You just have to keep trying. I tried 3 times to get the Mavericks upfrade and eventually had to go to the Apple Store.
Where they gave me a copy of the previous version!

WSUS - Auto Download and Schedule Install

Hey, so I have a couple questions regarding WSUS:
1. Can computers be set to daily check for updates from an internal WSUS server and download them without installing, and then automatically install those
updates at a different, scheduled time, whether they are connected or not? (I see the GPO called "Automatic Updates detection frequency"
that I can configured, but it doesn't say whether updates are downloaded during this operation or not)
2. Can computers be configured so that
they will download updates from an internal WSUS server first and if it's not available, then reach out to Microsoft?

So that would mean the answer to my initial question is No. I want an option called "Auto download and install at scheduled time".
Let me clarify how this all works.
The Windows Update Agent periodically checks the WSUS server for updates. Updates it finds, it reports state for: Installed, Not Installed, Not Applicable. If a "Not Installed" update is approved and available, the WUA queues the installation files
for download if the Configure Automatic Updates policy is set to AUOption '3' or '4'.
The download occurs via Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) subsequent to the WUA finding the update as available for download.
When the download of the update is completed, the WUA does one of two things:
If the Configure Automatic Updates policy is set to AUOption '4', then the WUA will schedule the update for installation at the scheduled time. This scheduled installation does NOT require access to the WSUS server to be conducted.
If the Configure Automatic Updates policy is not set to AUOption '4', then the update will be retained on the client computer until a user launches the Windows Update applet from Control Panel and initiates the installation.
If the Configure Automatic Updates policy is set to AUOption '2', then the files will not be downloaded, and a logged on user must initiate the download using the Windows Update applet in Control Panel. This setting is typically used for highly mobile
computers that have only sporadic connections to the network servicing the WSUS server.
The downloading of files using BITS can be controlled using the BITS download policies in Group Policy. You can restrict the bandwidth used for downloads (per client) and/or restrict when those downloads are performed. Ergo, if you want downloads to
occur at 8pm each night, simply block the ability to download files prior to 8pm.
Please note, however, that the files MUST be completely downloaded BEFORE a scheduled installation event for the updates to be installed at that event, and the amount of time required to complete those downloads is highly unpredictable and will change from
month to month and client to client.
Finally, there is one last possible methodology, but this one is fraught with much risk. You can configure clients with AUOption '2', so they do not automatically download update files upon discovery. Then configure an Approval Deadline at the time you want
those updates to be installed. In this scenario, and ONLY this scenario, when the client reaches the Approval Deadline, it will automatically download -and- install the updates that have deadlines configured. In addition, this methodology also gives you some
capability to configure the *DAY* that updates are installed, not just the time. However, as several threads in this forum will attest, there are MANY opportunities using deadlines for things to go sideways. Be sure to anticipate ALL POSSIBLE scenarios before
initiating the use of Approval Deadlines, and more importantly! TEST! TEST! TEST! prior to implementing this methodology throughout the entire organization.
