How do I stop auto downloading?

How do I stop automatic downloading of movies/tv shows?
Every time I open itunes all my past media purchases automatically start to download.
Preferences does not give the option to select/deselect movies/tv shoiws,
Help me please!

What are they downloading on (computer's iTunes, iOS device), and are they new purchases (e.g. did you have automatic downloads turned 'on' when bought them), or have you gone into the Purchased section and clicked/tapped on 'download all' ?
In the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of a computer's iTunes, on the Music section there is a 'download all' button to download all your past music purchases (those that are still in the store and not hidden) ; and on an iOS device, in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app there is a 'download all songs' button

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.

How do I stop a download when it is too slow?

Solved my own problem: Go to the sidebar on i Tunes to "Downloads" and click on this. It will show current downloads. Click on the download you wish to delete and then click on "delete" in the File menu. You can also shift-click to delete a range of items.

I started to download Maverick but then read that Word and Excel do not work with Maverick. I hit pause on the download. How do I stop the download. In non technical terms please!

How do I stop the download of Maverick on my MacBookPro? I started downloading then discovered that 2008 Word and Excel do not work with Maverick. I have too many files in the 2008 version to upgrade them at this time. I just need instructions in non technical terms to stop the Maverick download.

I did the same as Tapmr and have paused the "upgrade". So am I to understand that the upgrade only downloads and will not automatically install it? I am an extreme novice here, and cannot afford any issues after I upgrade/download. I don't know how to make a clone copy as you suggested either.
I need assurance that if the upgrade is allowed to continue that I will be able to delete the upgrade downloaded and continue on as before with my regular system.

How do I delete auto download of ios7

How do I delete auto download of ios7

I found a solution from a Chinese website called WeIphone (http://www.weiphone.com/)
Here is the original Chinese version if you are interested: http://bbs.weiphone.com/read-htm-tid-7022768.html
Now I will try to retell the solution for those who prefers English:
Notice: This guide is for those who still have iOS 6 running on their devices and only want to delete the update file for iOS 7 automatically downloaded. For those who have already updated their devices to iOS 7 and want to downgrade to iOS 6, this guide will probably be useless.
Part 1. How to prevent iOS 7 from being downloaded automatically:
If your device has already downloaded iOS 7 automatically, please skip this part and read part 2.
Method A: Keep free space on your iPad / iPhone below 3.1GB all the time. You can do this by installing some large games or keep some music / films.
Method B:With your device unplugged from power, connect to WIFI and open Settings->General->Software Update. Now your device will try to find whether there is new update or not. After a few minutes, there will be a notice of new update (currently is iOS 7.0.2) and a button says "Download and Install". DO NOT press it. Now you can use your device as usual. As long as you check the update manually, it won't download it automatically. It's wired, but it works.
Part 2. Delete iOS 7 firmware downloaded automatically:
Method A: If you have backup in iTunes, recover it. (I didn't test this method, so it's on your own risk.)
Method B: Open Settings->General->Software Update, Click "Install Now". There will be a prompt says "Verifying update...", Wait until this prompt disappear, there will be a spinning wheel on the black background. Immediately press and hold both of the power and home buttons at the same time. DO NOT release the power and home buttons for about 10 seconds. Your device will reboot. It's done. The automatically downloaded firmware will have been deleted. Now read part 1 to prevent automatically downloading in the future.
My new iPad (the 3rd generation, 16GB WIFI version) is running iOS 6.1.3 and automatically downloaded iOS 7.0.2, I tried Method B to delete it and succeed. However this is not an official method so there is no guarantee it will work for everyone, please use it at your own risk.

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.

How do you stop auto play only go to next slide on click once published Version 7

How do you stop auto play only go to next slide on click once published Version 7? I mean to stop the play slide bar moving down the bottom?

Thank you, I already have click boxes and buttons on every slide - the slider at the bottom still automatically moves, it doesn't go to next slide until button or box is clicked. I want to stop it moving if possible?
Update: looks like it does the same on the old versions - I'm assuming its the time set to play each slide. I will just even these up so the don't look so inconsistent.

How can I stop auto deletion of messages from my inbox?
I've tried to fix this by changing the IMAP account's Junk settings so that they are moved either to the
"Junk" folder on 'account name'
or
Other: (drop down list for choosing accounts and one of its folders) Junk on 'account name'
I am sure I lost all of my important, not junk mail, amazon.com messages as well as other messages from comercial sites.
Secondly: Please tell me what the difference is between the 2 junk folder choices above.
Thank you,
- Jim
