Stop WMP10 from starting when I plug in Zen Visio

When I plug in my Zen Vision M, Windows Media Player 0 starts up and starts synchronizing. I want a totally different program to come up -- or NO PROGRAM AT ALL!?I can't find a way to do this with the zen. I went into WMP settings and said don't synchronize. It ignores me. I tried going to windows explorer and changing device properties, but that tab is not available.

OK, under Windows Media Player, SYNC SETTINGS, I found a menu that allows me to change syncing from automatic to manual. So now the syncing doesn't occur when I plug in the device. But Windows Media Player 0 STILL opens, and I don't want it to. I'd rather have nothing open, or else a program of my choosing. Just to be clear, here's a copy of my post at experts exchange:?*****When I plug in my Zen Vision M, Windows Media Player 0 opens. (For technical reasons I need to use WMP version 0, NOT or beyond.)
I want a totally different program to come up -- or NO PROGRAM AT ALL! -- when I plug in the zen player.
I can't find a way to do this with the zen. ?I went into WMP settings and said don't synchronize, which worked. ?But when I go into the device properties, there's no menu for choosing which program opens with the device. You don't get the usual menus under windows explorer. ?
In fact, the only way I can get to a device properties menu at all is to plug in the device, and then go to Zen Media Explorer (which is a shortcut / device under Windows Explorer). The device appears there as a sub-folder, and has a properties menu. But again, this menu doesn't allow for choosing which programs run when the device is plugged in.
I found a check box that said "show zen in windows explorer as portable device". I checked this and restarted explorer. But all the menus / choices for this are the same as for the above "Zen Media Explorer"
Likewise I looked under Dev Mgr properties -- there's a properties menu, but no where to choose which program runs when device is plugged in.

How do I stop iPhoto from opening when i plug in my iPhone?

How do I stop Iphoto from opening when I plug in my Iphone?

Having the preference in iPhoto makes perfect sense to me. After all, iPhoto is the application that opens. You would expect that is where you should provide some guidance not to open.
What puzzles me much more is why you would post this comment more than 18 months after wjosten answered the original question.

Can I stop Safari from starting when connecting to a network on my iPad?
On my home network the wi-fi connection happens automatically without opening Safari. But on my work network, when attempting to make a connection the iPad lets me enter my user name and password, but then tries to open the webpage www.apple.com, which is blocked by iPrism as entertainment, so I can't actually connect to that network. oes anyone know a fix for this problem?

How do I stop photos from launching when I plug in camera

Can't find anything in the preferences that will stop this new app from launching when I plug in cameras or phones.

Plug in and let it load, then click on the camera/phone on the left hand pane and uncheck the box:
You should also be able to do this via Image Capture (in the Applications Folder) but I haven't tested it specifically.

HELP - How to stop audio from starting when captivate loads

Hi there,
I'm trying to work out how to stop my audio files attached to objects (images) from playing when captivate initially loads. I have a number of images with audio and when captivate initially loads all of the audios play at once which isn't good. I only want the audio associated with the object to play when the user clicks the item.
I've been researching for days and can't find an answer. Am I doing something wrong, or am I overlooking something.?
Could someone PLEASE help me with this or at least put me in the right direction. Any suggestions will be appreciated!!!
Jasmin

To achieve that you have to separate the audio from the image. The principle I explained in this article http://lilybiri.posterous.com/audio-objects-control-them
The audio will play when the object to which it is attached gets visible. If you attach the audio to another object like a non-visible highlight box (that is my 'audio object' but you can use also a non-visible drawing object), you can set this 'audio object' to invisible in its Properties panel. When the user clicks on the click box, execute the action 'Show audio object' and the audio will play. I would even recommend using advanced standard actions over a simple action because you will be able to hide the other audio objects at the same time, and the play head will not be released - see video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3nKi-DB6Fw&feature=plcp
You have to know that hiding an audio object, will pause the audio. If you show it again, it will continue playing, not restart.

How can I stop itunes from starting when I turn on the computer?

I'm sure I've done it before but I've just reinstalled itunes and it starts evey time I turn on the computer. I have searched all the menus and haven't found an option to turn this off.
Can anyone help please?

Go to Start>All Programs and look in Startup. iF iTunes appears there, remove it.
If iTunes is not in startup, do you have any iTunes widgets? If you don't know what they are you probably don't have any.
Some iTunes Widgets can be configured to start when you start your computer and that could cause iTunes to appear.

Stop Photos from Launching when Iphone plugged it

I would like to stop the Photos application from launching every time I plug my iPhone into my computer. There was a way to do it with iPhoto but I cannot seem to find a way with this new Photo app. Has anyone figured it out or have I missed finding the instruction somewhere?
Thanks

With your iPhone connected, let Photos launch one more time.
Enter the key combination ⌥⌘S to reveal the sidebar.
In the sidebar select your iPhone.
Disable the checkmark "Open Photos for this device":
Then quit Photos.
Do the same in Image Capture, if necessary.
In Image Capture:
The option has to be set for each device individually. With the device connected to USB, you have to click the tiny disclosure triangle in the lower left corner of the sidebar to reveal the option.

Please help me stop itunes from reacting when i plug in my iphone

i have my iphone dock connected to my macbook that i work on during the day, i am really getting annoyed by itunes dancing around either to the front or simply waking from a minimised state (where i want it to stay) every time i end a call and replace the phone to the dock.
i have checked "disable automatic sync"
my phone is set to manually sync
i have even turned off itunes helper in the log in menu.
again itunes is running... but minimised on the dock, so syncing is not the issue, im happy it syncs, i just want it to STAY where i left it and not assume that the moment i plug i must also want to stop editing that doc and go straight to itunes to do something...
thank you

Stop outlook from starting when clicking links in safari

In the past I used to work with Outlook for Mac (my former company worked with Outlook).
For a couple of years I switched to working with the Mac Agenda, Mail, Contacts, etcetera.
But whenever there is a link in Safari for opening an agenda, or a contact, it is Outlook that is being opened and not the native Mac programs.
How can I change these setting, I've looked but am not able to find this option.
I've got Outlook still on my Macbook because I have to maintain a backup of the email of the former company.
Outlook is set to not be the standard for Mail, Agenda, etcetera so this is not the solution (unfortunately...).
My laptop is up to date, so I'm using all the latest software versions, except for Outlook (this is the 2011 version).
Thanks in advance for the help.
Pascal

Try this:
Open MS Office Outlook 2011 for Mac >> Preferences >> General tab >> uncheck Set Outlook as default program for email, contacts and calendar.

Stop Firefox from starting a new tab when a new window opens?

This might be answered, but I cannot find a solution. I will give a scenario for my issue.
I am on the UPS website and click a button to print a shipping label. This opens a new FireFox window, BUT... the new window defaults to a generic tab that ALWAYS opens in circumstances like this. It does NOT open to the tab with my label. The print menu opens, but I cannot switch to the tab with my shipping label. No right click to print either. So I have to go to another browser. Absolutely annoying.
So how can I STOP Firefox from starting this generic tab when a FireFox window opens? BTW, the tab has a search bar at the top and several boxes that I can click on for Facebook, Instagram, etc. Thanks!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Every time I restart my mac air some applications like calendar and Microsoft word automatically starts, how can I stop such applications from starting when ever I restart my mac

Every time I restart my mac air some applications like calendar and Microsoft word automatically starts, how can I stop such applications from starting when ever I restart my mac?

One thing to check: when shutting down or restarting, there is a checkbox in the shutdown/restart dialog which asks whether you want currently open applications to open at startup.

How to stop iphone from autoplay when plug into car audio system usb?

how to stop iphone from autoplaying when connected to your car audio USB ?

You need to remove the association that Windows has with that particular file type. To do that, you need to open Windows Explorer. From there, click on Tools, then Folder options. Click on the tab that is named file types. You then need to find the extension for the photos that appear in the iPhone, then click that registered file type. Once you do that, there is a section to select the program to open that file type with. You can click on the change button, and that will allow you to change the program that it opens with, or restore the default. There is also a box that can be checked to always use the selected program. If you unselect it, it will prompt you next time on what program to use.
Hope this helps.
