Youtube videos prevent computer from going to sleep. any way to fix this?

even if they aren't actually playing anymore, even if they are paused, even if they are in a background tab or window.
I hate this. is there ANY way to fix this?
i tried this in camino, safari 2.

I don't believe i am the only person in the world who has discoved the youtubes, and yet still wanted their computer to go to sleep automatically.
I tried this on 5 other computers, and the results are always the same.

  • Preventing computer from going to sleep

    Our main production software (IQue 5.5) is screwed up if the computer goes to sleep.  We put in an order for 10 mac minis running mavericks and then the new mini got announced the very next day and there is no stock left on the old machines and we were forced to try it with yosemite.  We got one system and set it up on one guinea pig, and so far the only real problem is that yosemite no longer has an option to set system sleep to "never" and it keeps sleeping at random points while the user is working and kicks him out of IQue.
    Is there some way that we can get the (new dual-core i7 at 3.0GHZ) mac mini to never sleep?

    For what it's worth, I've had that hpdot4d process showing up ever since I set up my HP officejet 5610 on my Mac, and I'm still running 10.4. I'm pretty sure this is an HP problem, not an Apple problem...

  • YouTube Video's will not load, is there a way to fix this?

    I have flash installed and all YouTube video's will not load. In their place there is a black box when I right click on this box it says "movie not loaded..." and "about adobe flash player." All other flash related video's load fine it seems to be a problem only with YouTube. This problem persists into Google Chrome but not Internet Explorer.

    This has been reported many times over the past 24 hours and if the solution hasn't been posted yet, one short-term workaround is to change from a regular session to a secure session.
    Click in the URL and insert an s after http. In other words:
    http://www.youtube.com/ ==> https://www.youtube.com/

  • Whenever I start Firefox There is a blue bar at the top that says "downloading the latest applications" that never goes away. Any way to fix this?

    There is also a little animated download circle on the bar that is located just above the window tabs. I left Firefox open for hours and rebooted and it still comes up every time.

    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).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • OneNote prevents my computer from going to sleep when I have a shared notebook open. Suggestions?

    Hello,
    The issue is that my computer will not go to sleep if I have OneNote opened with my shared notebook loaded.
    Background: I'm currently running Windows 8 Pro on a desktop machine with Office 2010 Home and Student installed. I log into the OS under my outlook.com internet account.  OneNote, which I always keep open, has my main
    notebook shared on my SkyDrive.
    Scenarios: The computer will go to sleep if I reboot the machine and do not open OneNote. The computer will go to sleep if I close my shared notebook, reboot the machine and open OneNote (with no notebooks open). The computer will go to sleep if I open
    OneNote with my shared notebook, close it, AND exit OneNote from the icon in the system tray.
    The scenarios I ran lead me to believe that OneNote is continuously polling my shared online notebook, thus preventing my computer from going to sleep. The is a regression from the behavior in Windows 7. Are there any configuration changes I can make to
    fix this?
    Thanks.

    Try modify the settings under:
    Control Panel --> Power Options --> Multimedia settings --> When sharing media to Allow the computer to sleep

  • Concerning: VGA monitors using an Aluminum Powerbook G4 PowerPC 2004 15"-screen 1.5Ghz  The DVI (converted to VGA) video output stopped working on this computer after 9 years of service. This raises question 1:  Is there any way of fixing this? I've tried

    Concerning: VGA monitors using an Aluminum Powerbook G4 PowerPC 2004 15"-screen 1.5Ghz
    The DVI (converted to VGA) video output stopped working on this computer after 9 years of service. This raises question 1:
    Is there any way of fixing this? I've tried the usual: triple checked all vga cables & devices through trial & error. Bought a new DVI-VGA adapter. Reset PRAM, PMU, etc. Nothing works. Something is probably damaged, because my KVM switch was not working unless I hot-reseated the vga cable into it, leading to this DVI port, and that is pretty rough stuff.
    Question 2 (related):
    This dovetails into this: Can I drive a VGA monitor with the s-video output port on this computer. It would take an s-video (male)-to-15-pin-VGA adapter. Has anyone does this? So far, I haven't even found the adapter mentioned anywhere.
    Thanks for reading this.

    Thanks for the useful feedback, Knucklesmac. I agree. I must have blown something on the logic board -- because I had a faulty old KVM switch that would not switch between computers without some nasty hot-plugging/unplugging the VGA video cables. (wince!). It's like when Dizzy Dean ruined his arm because a line drive hit him in the foot and he readjusted his mechanics around the injury. I take the blame because this has been a great computer, and does not deserve any blame.
    If it will help anyone else reading this thread, C2G (née Cables to Go) has some interesting ideas for still getting external video out of this computer:
    -USB-to-VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/30545
    -Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/40971
    The price range is $75-$85, which doesn't make horse sense to me for such an old computer -- which has a lot of life in it anyway, because its own 15" monitor is not chopped liver.

  • I somehow deleted my hard drive.  Is there any way to fix this other than buying a new computer?

    I somehow deleted my hard drive.  Is there any way to fix this other than buying a new computer?

    Sure.
    If your hard drive is still physically working, simply restore it from your computer's backup.

  • I running on mountain Lion but every time i enter full screen, the widgets from my dashboard appears. Any way to fix this?

    it would appear something like this, for itunes, quicktime play and so on and so forth. Any way to fix this problem?

    Have you tried going to System Preferences/Desktop & Screensaver/Screensaver, and choose "Start after Never"? That turns off the screensaver. Then, under System Preferences/Desktop & Screensaver/Desktop, choose the image you want. You can vary the sleep by playing around with System Preferences/Energy Saver, and playing around with your preferences.

  • I have an iMac 3.06 24" late 2008 model. On the superdrive slot, one of the rubber protective strips is damaged. When I eject a disc, it blocks the disc from fully releasing. Any help in fixing this?

    I have an iMac 3.06 24" late 2008 model. On the superdrive slot, one of the rubber protective strips is damaged. When I eject a disc, it blocks the disc from fully releasing. Any help in fixing this?

    Ok, maybe it isn't rubber but it felt like it. Maybe it is felt or something similar. But you can see in the photos what the problem is. I am just afraid that the piece is going to get jammed into the super drive and really screw it up. Thanks for investigating.

  • Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears.  Any way to fix this?

    Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears.  Any way to fix this?

    Try quitting the PDF apps and Safari like I describe below. Then reset the iPad. After it starts try again.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • HT1414 I dont know why bt ever since I updated my iphone 3gs 16GB to the new 5.1.1 firmware I am unable to activate it with my any sim card, so is there any way to fix this. Im from India

    I dont know why but ever since I updated my iphone 3gs 16GB to the new 5.1.1 firmware I am unable to activate it with any sim, so is there any way to fix this please? Is there a solution to activating my Iphone 3gs on this firmware? I purchase this iPhone from USA and Im using it in India. Please help me...

    This means the iPhone was hacked to be unlocked. The 3GS was not sold in the US as officially unlocked.
    Restoring an iPhone with iTunes that was hacked to be unlocked or installing a firmware update on an iPhone that was hacked to be unlocked re-locks the iPhone to the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked when new. In this case, re-locked with ATT.

  • My macbook pro charger will not charge my mac. The charger is in great condition, but it will not register as charging and it will not charge my computer. is there any way to fix this?

    My computer has stopped recieving charge. The charger is in great condition, but it will not register, nor charge my computer. I do not know if its my mac or the charger. Is there any way to fix this?

    Do you have another charger to test with?
    It is very possible that somehow the wire might have gotten bent without your knowledge and that is why it is not working.
    If you have an Apple store near you, you might want to set up a genius appointment so that they can test it for you.
