Please let us disable update prompts
Forgive me for my frustrated tone (or don't)...
I'm getting so tired of this **bleep**. Why on earth isn't there an option to disable update prompts? Every single time I start up skype I get an update pop-up. Twice. I've searched for solutions, but none of them worked for me. This should just be an option within the client itself, even if hidden under an "advanced" tab to stay in line with how dumb you assume your users are. Possibly the most mind boggling part is how other people on the exact same version don't seem to get any update prompts, nor do I get them on my laptop.
I just do not want your **bleep** update. Why are you trying to force it down my throat? I'm all for security updates but I'm not on board with following the trend of catering your UI to four year olds. I like an interface that's clean and clear and doesn't try so hard to look "hip". The least you could do is add options to use the old interface/disable new """features""".
P.S. While you're at it, stop automatically capitalizing brand names like "Always" in my sentences. And stop making my asterisks bold **bleep**, they already have a different purpose... *sigh*

Download Skype 7.0
http://www.skype.com/go/download
go to Tools -> Options -> IM & SMS -> IM Settings -> Compact Chat View (on)
Also View -> Compact Sidebar View (on)
also Tools -> Options -> IM & SMS -> IM Appearance -> Show Oversized Emoticons (off)
and I also recommend Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Security -> Restricted Sites -> Sites -> add g.msn.com and apps.skype.com
or
Download Skype 6.21 from http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_6.21.0.104.msi or http.//filehippo.com/download_skype/58884/
Make sure you go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> Skype Updater -> set to DISABLED
and I also recommend Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Security -> Restricted Sites -> Sites -> add g.msn.com and apps.skype.com
and add 127.0.0.1 download.skype.com to your host file if you want to go for certain.
Also worth noting that C:\users\youruser\appdata\roaming\skype\shared.xml -> go to <EnableWiki> and turn 1 to 0 to disable the **~~__@@!! thing.

How do I disable updates with a silent install?
I have about 400 computers in my company and I have to update them to at least Java 6u30. I have not found a way to then disable the updates silently so the users aren't continuously prompted to upgrade.
There doesn't seem to be an installation switch anymore to disable updates and the registry modification doesn't work either.
There have to be many IT departments that have run into this issue, has any one come up with a solution that works?
If any developers see this: Please, please, please put the disable updates switch back into the installer.
Edited by: 893717 on May 2, 2012 1:54 PM1. This is a user to user forum. The software update notices cannot be turned off by the average user, so this topic is not likely to be "concluded."
2. If this can only be changed by Apple changing the behavior of OS X, then this is not the forum to bring that change, only giving Apple feedback about OS X would be the channel for that. The ASC is not a forum for griping. That will get your posts removed and ultimately your account shut down.

BTW, here are some ideas for dealing with the issue, each has it's drawbacks;

AfghanproPlace the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
If not backup you MAY be able to get some info from the restored iPod via

If I wanted the lokale feel of iOS 7.0 I would have bought a much cheeper taiwanese smartphone.
Please let me know how I can return to the original look and feel of the iPhone surface I bought my phone for.You had plenty of time to look at screenshots on the internet and read various blog posts about iOS 7.

Phone Model and OS
Model - iphone 5
IOS 8.0.2
Problem Description
After enabling cellular data, i am receiving mails even if we disable "use cellular data for mail", due to this data usage usage use is more, if we have fix please let me know.
Steps:
1. Enable Cellular Data
2. Disable mail on "use cellular data for mail
3. check whether mail is received or not
tried multiple times and i am getting more billing amount because of data usageMail isn't the only app using data. Turning it off there has no effect whatsoever on whether the rest of iOS or other apps you have installed. In fact most apps use data these days, at a minimum for Notifications and often for gameplay and other features.

Basic troubleshooting steps right out of the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If you've been through ALL the steps and you still have the problem, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

I completed the iOS 7.0.2 update and now my screen is locked in the Connect to iTunes position. I am not near my home computer so I cannot connect to iTunes. Please let me know if there is a way to recover this without connecting to a computer.
Use iTunes on any computer to restore your iPhone. Your data
will be gone, but your iPhone will be functioning. You can restore
when you get home.
You may wish to look into iCloud to prevent data loss in the future:

I have successfully created a new Apple Id. But when I am trying to update my apps on my iPhone5C, the old Apple Id is appearing. Please let me know how to update?
You should be able to log out of an account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and you can then log in with your new account.
Any content that you downloaded with your old account will remain tied to that old account, so only that account can potentially redownload them and/or download updates to its apps. You should be able to reset the password on an iTunes account via http://iforgot.apple.com e.g. by answering the account's security questions. -

Dear Sir/Madam,
Adobe acrobat claims that there is an update.
However the update process is very flaky and unreliable.
Very poor service, with useless update prompts.
System report is attached.
Please fix the update, before advertising useless prompts for updates, for paid versions.
ThanksNothing is attached.
You should also be aware that there are a number of scams and malwares claiming fake updates.
Please post your report and tell us exactly what product and exact version you have.
And be aware you aren't talking to Adobe. -
Hello,
My Adobe CS5 keeps letting me know updates are ready to install, attempts to install, then always tells me.." error in the downloading..."Please!...tell me what to do to get these updates?...I've been trying(Adobe has been trying) for 3 months to get this done. What if I uninstall everything and try to reinstall again? I uninstalled the program from the old computer when I got a new computer. Had no problems with that.I've run out of places to look for help. Just want to keep my stuff current.
New computer has Windows 8.1 on it.Here are three sites you can look at for downloads and info.

my ipad 3 got truble while updating. there is showing conect to itune while i try to switch on. please let me knwo what is the solution to recover my ipad to previuos stage?
That image on the iPad screen is telling you what to do. Connect the iPad to your computer and use iTunes to restore the iOS software. You said it yourself, something went wrong. So now you have to restore the device.
The instructions for restoring the iOS are in this kb article - the article from which you posted your question.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
Make sure that you read all the way to the end under "Additional Information" where it talks about using recovery mode. You just might need to use that in order to restore.
