How can I stop iCloud from uploading my iCal & Address Book: Help!

Hi,
I just made all the updates for my iMac and iPhone. All of them.
Then I (un)checked everything but "Find my Mac/iPhone"
Dispite my settings, I can still find replicas of my iCal and Address Book in iCloud through its Safari interface.
How can I delete my iCal and Address Book from the cloud and stop iCloud from mirroring them in the cloud.
I appresiate your help,

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have him delete your account from his phone. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and tap delete).

How can i stop icloud from downloading all my photos onto my iphone 4s each time I sync. Then, how do I delete them from my phone, there are no delete options. I'm slowly going crazy.

Hi iprover,
Let me first say that I am NO EXPERT with anything Apple and really have only started looking into this iCloud stuff a few hours ago because I'm trying to help my mom free up some space on her iCloud. But anyway, here's what I'm learning and what I THINK might be happening to you.
Also, if any Apple support people (do they browse the forums to dish out helpful hints?) or people who probably know infinitely more than me about this stuff, please do chime in and confirm / correct my statements!
This is what I gather.
iCloud for Windows is set up with a local folder (let's call it "C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream") where iCloud will store photos uploaded to the Photo Stream. This will allow you to view your Photo Stream photos on your PC.
This does not mean that this is a PC backup of your Photo Stream photos, but just a way to view your Photo Stream from your PC. That being said, the general Photo Stream rules apply: 1. No videos are on the photo-stream, and 2. Photos on the Photo Stream will be removed after ~30 days and/or after hitting the Photo Stream limit of 1000 photos.
My guess is that the iCloud Windows App will delete photos from the local folder that are older than ~30 days and/or delete all but the most recent 1000 items if the 1000-item limit is reached.
That is a scary thought! I really hope you did not lose all your pictures, but my guess is that the iCloud local folder is NOT meant for backup but instead is the iCloud Windows App's sandbox for updating and managing Photo Stream photos.
All that being said, I'd say it's important to back up your photos in a separate folder not related to the iCloud local folder.

How can i stop iCloud from trying to update

i removed iCloud from my pc several months ago however it continues to try to update. how can i stop this?

You missed something. Remove it properly (which may entail re-installing and removing again).

How can i stop icloud from sending me a e-mail everytime I write or update a note on my iphone???

Every time I make a new note, or even when I simply update an existing note (this can be a minor change such as one letter) an email is sent to my Gmail. It never shows as an unread new email in my inbox, but it's there, in my "All mail" folder. I now have thousands of e-mails sent from "me" with a copy of each note I've written and updated, even if it's a minor change. This is ridiculous. Who the **** thought of this absurd system? Why on earth would I want to keep track of every minor change I make?
It is preposterous to see that Apple (and other companies with "cloud" servers) are keeping track of ALL the information we type in our phones. Nothing is private anymore, nothing is truly ours. Thank you "cloud" for stripping us from our privacy and freedom and for making Orwell's vision become reality. I've always wanted a big brother... Everything might be going up in the cloud, but hopefully it will rain a lot, soon. We have to find a way to bring the personal computer back.
Anyway, please let me know how I can disconnect myself from iCloud, I just like using Google drive from time to time to store certain notes and documents.
Thank you,

Hey there,
Unfortunately this issue is going to have to be addressed on the iphone senders end. They will need to turn on "send as SMS" in their settings of their iPhones because when an iMessage fails, it should send SMS and get to your android.
Also, rumor has it updating to iOS 7.1.1 on the other iPhones will clear the system as well but as long as you've already called AppleCare and they degregistered your number from iMessage, you should be good.
Hope this helps

How can I stop iCloud from deleting more photos on my PC?

I've been frustrated with the slowness of the photo stream and iCloud. So I have often just plugged my phone into my PC and manually backed up my photos into my Stream folder (the same folder that is chosen in the iCloud menu).
So I had 1000's of photos on my PC from the last 4 or 5 years.
Gone.
For some reason I now go to my Photo Stream on my phone, or on my own PC, and not only do NONE of the photos that are left match (the ones I can see on my phone are not the same as the ones on the PC) but thousands of photos that were on my PC, manually backed up there by myself, are gone. There are only 20 on my PC now. 23 when I look at my photo stream on my phone.
Another odd thing, I took several photos last week, had them on my phone, in my Photo Stream, and on my PC in my Photo Stream. I often delete photos from my phone once they are backed up on the Stream, or on my PC. So I was surprised to see that ONE of FIVE photos I took in a series was still in my photo stream, and on my PC, but the other FOUR photos from that same moment in time are gone.
I want some of these photos back. Many memorable events from the past four years are just gone.
Not funny, Apple. Fix this.
(P.S. I have 2.3 terrabytes of photos backed up on the PC in question, and duplicated on two other drives in secure locations. Other than one batch of 30 or 40 photos going bad on a card in camera, I have NEVER lost an archived photo before this.)

How can I stop iCloud from overwriting my bookmarks recovered by a restore from computer?

I am moving to a new iPad. I made the mistake of deleting my bookmarks on the old iPad before resetting it to factory settings. As a result I have somehow got no bookmarks in iCloud. When I do a full restore from computer I get my bookmarks back but only until I connect to the internet when iCloud immediately overwrites the recovered bookmarks with no bookmarks.
I've tried pretty much everything I can think of including deleting everything I see in iCloud Control Panel/Manage Storage. However these (non) bookmarks are obviously kept somewhere else that I can't find.
I need to replace the iCloud bookmarks with the ones I recover from the computer restore. How do I do that?
Thanks.

Touch Copy appears to be now named iPhone Backup Extractor (although it works for iPads as well). It appears to deal only with any backups you may have on the computer it's installed on, not with the device itself. So if you have no computer backup where the lost info can be found then this software is no use.
Happily, I do have a very recent (2 days ago) computer backup, albeit encrypted. It seems to be necessary to buy the software to get it to do what you want. I succeeded in extracting the bookmarks as a bookmarks.db file from my encrypted computer backup of the iPad.
Then it's necessary to use more software, SQLite, to extract the information from the bookmarks.db file. This software is free but seriously geeky, not at all user friendly. I have managed to obtain a .csv file from the bookmarks.db file which is at least readable, but not able to be imported into Firefox which appears to accept only .html files for importing bookmarks.
Likewise, Safari doesn't appear to accept for import either .db (the iPad file type ironically) or .csv and neither IE nor Chrome won't accept other than .html etc files.
SQLite would seem to be off the mark in not offering .html and its cousins as export formats. And given .db is in fact useless without SQLite and SQLite is both difficult to use and in any event doesn't solve the problem, it would seem obvious IPhone Backup Extractor needs to look at providing conversion of .db files to .html files. But the proper solution is for Apple to enable the overriding of iCloud information with restored from backup information.
What I have now is a .db file of my precious bookmarks which appears to be unusable with any Apple product to override the wretched dominance of iCloud. Absurd that iCloud actually prevents one from restoring an iPad to an earlier time. What's the point of restore if iCloud is going to subvert it each time?
Anyone who has any thoughts towards a solution would be most welcome!

How can I stop iCloud from wanting me to log in everytime I wake the phone?

Since the last OS update, my iPhone keeps asking me to sign in to iCloud when I fire it up EVERY time. I did this a few times but get tired of it. Is there any way to either get it to accept my sign in as the norm or to just quit asking? Thanks.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

How can I stop it from uploading and clear the queue?

I'm having a hell of a time uploading these photos to my picasa account. After several attempts to get it working, it is now upload all 1,000+ photos and videos about 4 times. It's been going for almost 24 hours now and I just want to cancel and start over. Right now I can only pause uploading but I can't clear the queue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have to agree the reply came off a bit condesending. People are at all different level of tech competency and that is no reason to make others feel badly. Most of the people on the board are kind and helpful but others.
That's one thing I love about Major Geeks online they are always helpful and you can ask a "foolish" question and never made to feel badly by the people who are members and are just donating time to help others... it's really nice!
I don't automatically update for a month I want to make sure all the bugs are out and find out if there are any problems. I have dyslexia and do not always have time to get through all the information. The new rules and regulations is pages and pages long. And trying to read it on my Iphone 4s was awful. I finally gave up and just agreed. I am not concerned about Youtube as I am losing Google maps. It's not like they put Mapquest in, which is what I always check after Google to see if there is a better way to get where I am going.

HT201232 how can I stop icloud drive from upgrading?

iCloud drive has been updating almost 2 days or longer on my 5s. How can I stop it from upgrading so long?
I was having a problem with not being able to swipe pages and opening apps for almost 3 weeks, so I downloaded iOS 8.1 to see if that would help but it didn't and now the icloud drive won't stop updating on my 5s. I unclicked icloud on my laptop and backed up to my computer but that didn't stop iCloud updating on my phone, I've also reset my phone and that didn't help.

The problem is that should iCloud Photo restart, say, through a computer restart, the problem starts all over again. Apparently removing the photo from iPhoto did not do the trick.
Did you delete the corrupted photo from its event and from My Photo Stream as well? Have you deleted the photo completely by emptying iPhoto's Trash and the System Trash?
You could also try to delete the photos from the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub/
That will remove the temporary copy of "My Photo Stream" on the Mac from the user library.
The user library is hidden by default. To open the hidden User Library:
Use the Finder's "Go" menu.
Click "Go", then hold down the options key, until you are seeing "Library" in the drop down menu appear and click it.
In the Finder window that will open navigate to the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub/.

HT1766 Hi, I share an iTunes account with my wife. Sometimes she gets my iMessages and I don't and vice versa. Also if people face time me it goes to her phone. How can I stop this from happening?

Hi, I share an iTunes account with my wife. Sometimes she gets my iMessages and I don't and vice versa. Also if people face time me it goes to her phone. How can I stop this from happening?

You can share the same Apple ID in
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: here
But for all other Apple services like:
FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, etc, one of you should use a different Apple ID.

How can I stop iPhoto from reidentifying faces I have already 'crossed', while still being able to identify and sort new faces.

iPhoto has detected faces of people I dont know, in my 'iPhoto faces' whenever I click the cross in the corner of the face (when sorting faces) the face temporarily disappears, but once I have uploaded a fresh batch of photos (and want to identify new faces) it automatically re-identifies the old photos that I don't want to have to sort again. How can I stop iPhoto from reidentifying faces I have already 'crossed', while still being able to identify and sort new faces.

Thank you, that makes sense (I think!) However, I need to be able to tell iPhoto who the people identified in my photos are, does that make sense? How do I identify the people in my new photos without clicking 'find faces'. I know that button searches through my photos to find faces, but it also gets me to the place where I identify the faces as my friends and family, is there a shortcut to get to that place without clicking 'find faces'? That is what I really need, please help!!

How can I stop music from skipping during play

I do not like iCloud. How can I convert back to the previous version? If not available, then how can I stop songs from skipping during play? (Only started happening when iCloud installed).

Hi,

I think exit PARA0002 will work for this requirement.
for confirmation put BREAK-POINT in the include and do the action with PA40 t/c, if cudrsor goes to the BREAK-POINT stmt, the logic to write si
if screen-name eq 'aaaa'. (for exact names can go for f1 help>tech attribts>)
if filed-name eq (for example:) anzhl
if anzhl is initial..(u can go for writing all the fields with AND operator)

endif.
endif.
I hope just idea will help you.

How can I stop Dreamweaver from inserting spaces after variables?

How can I stop Dreamweaver from inserting spaces after
variables?
Example:
"...write to you@ and ..."
is changed by DreamWeaver to
"...write to you@

and...>
When saving or doing other editing, DreamWeaver adds a space
and a line break before and after the variable. The line break
isn't hard and doesn't show, but the spaces added before and after
the variable DO show in browsers. That looks rather stupid and
incompetent, and requires hand editing on the server after
uploading.
Line wrap and code formatting are turned off.
Is manual correction after uploading the only solution to
this problem?
Thanks
DearWebby

DearWebby,
We already discussed this offline, but I want to post the fix
here for
the sake of posterity:
1. Edit > Tag Libraries
2. Open HTML Tags folder
3. Select "directive" folder icon (not really a folder)
4. Change Line breaks: setting to "No line breaks"
5. Click OK
HTH,
Randy

How can I stop Firefox from opening (to "File Not Found") when opening my Opera browser?

Ever since I installed Opera 10.61 on my new computer (Windows 7 Ultimate operating system), whenever I open Opera, Firefox opens one second later with the following error message:
'''File not found '''
Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Users/Nasheed/AppData/Local/Opera/Opera/temporary_downloads/client-en.xml.
* Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
* Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.
TRY AGAIN.
<nowiki>****************************************************</nowiki><br />
This happens EVERY TIME I OPEN THE OPERA BROWSER. How can I stop this from happening? I'm stumped.
[EXTRA INFO - I was unable to enable Firefox to access my previous profile on the new computer (despite putting the old profile in the appropriate Mozilla Firefox folder. So, there are now two profiles in that location.
After reading the answer to another forum member's question, I attempted to resolve the problem using Profile Manager, but I was unable to locate the Profile Manager. The Windows "Search" feature is not enabled on my new computer (nor can it be enabled from the Customize Start Menu options).]

Thank you for your response, Cor-el.
I had Opera set as my default browser since this began happening. I changed my default browser back to Firefox mainly because having Firefox open one or two seconds every time I open Opera was/is such a nuisance.
I believe this problem began because I attempted to manually transfer the files from my old computer to the new one (via the backed up files in my external drive). I was unfamiliar with Windows 7 when I did this. Microsoft changed the file set up from what I had been used to in Windows XP. I used XP for six years before being exposed to Windows 7 (I never had Vista).
I'm almost sure this problem has something to do with where I placed the application data when I was trying to reestablish the program set up on the new computer.

I do not want to upgrade to 7.0, I am attending online college and the upgraded version does not work with my school. How can I stop Firefox from upgrading? I have to keep uninstalling the upgrade and installing the old one.

How can I stop Firefox from automatically upgrading? My on-line college is not compatible with the upgraded version. I have to keep uninstalling the new one and reinstalling the old one.

It's not a good idea to allow websites to redirect to another site until you know for sure the original site is trustworthy.
But if you still want to do it (again not a good idea).
Tools>Options>Advanced>General - In Accessibility, uncheck "warn me when web sites try to redirect..." option.
