Hey Everyone
Ok say i have a movie on a web page which is playing, and the user switches to another tab or browser window, is there anyway to tell quicktime to stop playing if this happens?
Thanks for any help

No.
Unless the browser has that feature.

Audio stream stops when I switch to another tab in Safari

I've got this radio station website which links to a live stream so you can hear the station online. It worked fine a couple of weeks ago, on my Powerbook G4 running 10.4.9. Then my Powerbook died.
Enter my new MacBook Pro, still running 10.4.9. I try to listen to the same station, but everytime I start the stream, then switch to another tab to browse the internet, the audio stream stops.
BTW, the audio stream behaves properly when I use Firefox. Is there a reason why Safari can't keep on playing the audio stream when it's not in the active tab? Or have I got a bad configuration?
Many thanks, as always.

Nah, forget it; I just remembered what really used to happen (which still happens):
I used to open a new Safari window (not a new tab), open the radio stream in that new window, then switch to my previous Safari window with all my tabs. Then it works.
For some reason, I don't have to do this (i.e. open two different windows as opposed to two tabs) in Firefox.
I really like and prefer Safari to most browsers, but I have to admit, it's rather flaky in a number of ways. This is one of them.

How to prevent video playback from getting paused when switching to another tab on Firefox for Android?

In Firefox for Android 27.0, if you play video in one tab and while it's playing you switch to another tab, the video gets paused. I want the video to continue to play while I'm viewing another tab (so I can at least hear its sound!).
How can I do that?

Thank you very much.

Hi hamid_ss,
Currently Firefox for Android does this by default with embedded players. Some sites go automatically to full screen too which may be what you are running into. Try it.

How do I hear Garageband in multitask? I am playing guitar in GB using Apogee Jam. Would like to read lyrics in Safari while hearing guitar in background. But I can only hear GB when it is the active program. Sound stops if I switch to another app.

ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by
ICRC or ABRT error as described in the section called “ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION)”.
Controller-specific error completion with error information indicating transmission error.
On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent

How do I stop firefox from switching to new tab when opening bookmarks in new tab

When I open a link in a new tab it does not switch to it automatically. I had to reinstall firefox to stop it from switching to new tabs automatically since the option being unticked didn't stop it from happening anyway. Now only when I open a bookmard in a new tab it still switches to the new tab and I do not want it to. Why is it doing this with the option unchecked and a fresh install with no add ons of any sort? And how do I make it stop?

Try to set the Boolean pref browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground to true on the about:config page.

If I open a PDF doc in a new tab and then try and close the tab with ctrl-w it will try and close all tabs unless I switch to another tab and back again.

Running Firefox beta and Adobe Acrobat 10. If I open a PDF document in a new tab, say http://support.avaya.com/css/P8/documents/100146419, and then try and close the tab using ctrl-w, I get the message warning me about closing all tabs. If I switch to another tab and then back to the PDF document and then hit ctrl-w, it will just close that one tab and not all tabs.
Cheers.

I've just been playing around and I set dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to true and now it closes the PDF document but not the tab. I have to do ctrl-w again to close the tab. However, leaving that set to true ruins the scroll mouse functionality as Acroread seems to want it all to itself.

Whenever I have a pdf document open, and then switch to another tab to view another webpage, the scrolling function on the touchpad will not work. This seems to be a glitch with Mozilla, according to Dell. How do I fix this?

When I open a pdf document (like an E-version of a newspaper) in Mozilla and then switch to another tab to view another webpage, I am unable to use the scrolling function on the touchpad. I have to use the up and down arrows to get other pages to scroll. When I close that pdf document, everything works fine. I talked with customer support with Dell, and he said it was probably a glitch with Mozilla. So I tried to do the same thing on IE, and there was no problem scrolling with the touchpad while a pdf document was open on another tab. I would like to get a fix for this so I don't have to keep closing open pdf documents in order to scroll with the touchpad while on other tabs. Thank you

When I am on a Youtube video that is running and I want to switch to another tab, the Ctrl+ tab number does not work, is that intended functionality?

When I am on a Youtube video that is running and I want to switch to another tab, the Ctrl+<tab number> does not work, is that intended functionality?

This can happen when the video player (Flash plugin) has the focus.
In that case the plugin consumes all the key presses.
You will have to click with the mouse elsewhere on the page or in the user interface to make keyboard shortcuts work.

JTabbedPane, how can a tab switch to another tab?

I have a JTabbedPane with a few tabs. Each tab consists of a class extending JPanel. If a certain action is performed on on of the tabs, the view should switch to another tab. How can this be done? I know about the method setSelectedComponent in the JTabbedPane class. But since the tab doesn't know about this, how can I use it?

Actually, the solution was dead simple. All I had to do was give the constructor of the class/tab a reference to the JTabbedPanel instance so it can call setSelectedIndex on it.
It works now, thanks anyway.

Filter is blank after switching to another tab and then back

I perform a lot of filters using the data view for tables/views. However, when I switch to another tab (query editor) and then back to the data view, the filter is first executed (explanation in next sentence) and then blanked out. I was creating a filter and entered the string "<column_name> = '' " and then switched to a query editor to get the correct spelling of the value to fill in the quotes. When I switched back to the data view the filter had been executed using the null quotes (resulting in the previous values being lost) and then was blanked out. This gets a little annoying when a long filter is being built.

I apologize. I forgot to add the application details. I am using sqldeveloper version 1.5.0.52 build MAIN-52.03 using JDK 1.6.0_05 on a WinXP SP2 laptop.

Logic 10.0.6 Quicktime audio stops playing

I'm having an issue with Logic 10.0.6 where the QT audio stops playing along with the movie occaisionally. Especially if I change anything in the tempo window, but also sometimes when I haven't changed anything at all.
To get it to start playing again all I have to do is open up the Movie settings window and touch the volume setting slider, but that doesn't keep it from happening again. I've never had this issue with any previous version of Logic and have been running the audio this way for years.
Is anyone else having this issue, and have you found another more permanent solution?
Thanks

I have the exact same issue. I'm running Mavericks. My friend that has Mountain Lion has no issues.
Although I thought all it was doing was cutting off 4 frames in the front. But it sounds like you're saying it shifts the whole track by 4 frames, which is even worse!
Apple, fix this, please!

Why does Spotify stopped playing when i do something else like browse facebook, go see my messages?

why does Spotify stopped playing whenever i do something else on my phone like browse facebook, or read my phone messages, or open a link to read something? some other music apps like Jango lets you do whatever you want, but it keeps playing ur playlist.. i'm not even gonna mention how pitifully miniscule Spotify's music library is compared to this apps...ooops

Hi. I feel your pain my friend. This is so annoying it makes me want to cancel my "pro" subscription. I think it has to do with other audio from a web page (includes Facebook) overriding Spotify's audio. I have looked all over Spotify to see if there is an override the override setting. I can't find it. Maybe this bumps up this thread so we get some sort of answer. I wouldn't mind it even if we got it's not possible. At least then we'd know. That's the problem with forum posting - you never know if you're going to get an answer pee what kind of answer it may be. As the headline says this forum is not sourced from Spotify. hoibie

How do i stop it automatically switching to new tab, the setting is not ticked in options. This is annoying when opening several tabs.

Although I do not have 'switch to new tab immmediately' ticked, when I ask to open in new tab it switches immediately. This is a problem as I open several tabs from my main page and don't want to go to them at once, I'll look at them in order as I need them. Since an update I now have it switching to the opened tab, and I have to keep flicking back to the main tab. It's giving me repetitive strain problems having to keep clicking the mouse more than necessary. It's an option in the settings, I'd like it to rmain that way. I seriously don't want to keep having to go back to my main page every time I want to open a new tab. Could you make it as it was before please, it was super then. Many thanks in advance. :-)

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

Window does not update when I add a tab or switch to another tab

when I add a new tab, the new tab appears but the screen doesn't change. The content under all the tabs is the same.
If I type in a url, my current page updates and when I choses another tab, the screen doesn't change. All tabs have the same content.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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 or otherwise make changes.

If it does work in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.

Why does the video I rendered as Quicktime file stop playing at one minute?

Hey guys! I need your help big time!
I am making a slideshow type video of pictures with titles and I am adding keyframes and using the Tweening tool between frames to add transitions to the video. I have added all the tweening slides, and when I export the video I am exporting it as a Quicktime file. When I watch the video all the transitions are good, but the entire video will not play.
There are 9 photos in the video and when I first play the video normally the first 5 pictures and their transitions show up, and then the video "stops" because it has reached one minute ("the end"), but if you let it sit there then the other 4 pictures and their transitions still play but the video is technically stopped.
Then when you rewind the video back to 30 or so seconds the 5th picture that it previously stopped at one minute on occurs at 30 seconds and then the other 4 play correctly with their transitions from 30 seconds to a minute.
I am going to be making several small video files like this and then merging them together to create the full file and before I go any further in the process I need to make sure that the video file Photoshop is rendering for me is the FULL file. Please, if anyone at all knows how to help me with this, then please do!
Thank you for your help!!
