Can I stop Update Rollups from downloading to WSUS?

Previous we had Update Rollups configured and now we'd like them gone. Originally the goal was to stop Silverlight but now we want all the Update Rollups to not be present in the WSUS server.
Here is what I tried based on results O found here via Google: I disabled the classification, ran the cleanup wizard, stopped Update Service, did a deletion of the WSUScontent contents, started the Update service, then did a wsusutil reset. The WSUSContent
folder was rebuilt over the weekend and now when I add the view for Update Rollups they are back again.
What did I do wrong?
Please let me know.
Thank you!

It sounds like you are saying once a product classification is synchronized, it is stuck in the WSUS database, and there is no option to prevent that classification from synchronizing in the future.
Is that accurate?
No, it's not accurate, and it's not what I said.
Once an update has been synchronized, it is synchronized. Synchronization is the act of getting NEW
updates from Microsoft. Your choices in Products and Classifications determines which
NEW updates you get from Microsoft.
So.. if you don't want to get any more NEW Update Rollups, you uncheck "Update Rollups" and you will get no more NEW Update Rollups. But the ones you already have aren't going anywhere.
If you don't want to get anymore NEW Windows Vista updates, then you uncheck "Windows Vista" and you will get no more NEW Windows Vista updates. But the ones you already have aren't going anywhere.

How can i stop ios 6 from downloading

Hello i started downloading ios 6 and my friend says it makes your ipod slow how can i stop it and keep it at 5.1.1

You can try turing off wifi/place in airplane mode and resetting the iPod. Nothiong should be lost except hopefully you will have to manually restart the download which you do not do.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Any way to stop Update Retriever from downloading Microsoft Updates?

We have roughly 20 different lenovo laptop types in our organization. We would like to have update retriever download all updates for both windows xp and 7 for each laptop into the repository, except windows updates. Since we use WSUS, we do not need windows updates downloaded again.
It would be very time consuming to manually select only certain updates for each Machine Type when we want everything except windows updates.
Thank you.

I don't think it retrieves updates for the windows os , just lenovo software,drivers updates

How can I stop my iPhone from downloading iOS 7?

I am currently trying to download iOS 7 to my iPhone OTA. However, it seems to be stuck but rather than showing up that an error has occurred, it keeps trying to download. I would like it to stop trying but nothing works. I have tried switching it off and on again and hard reset but when I go back it keeps starting the download again. I'm aware that there are server issues so it may take a while but I would rather try getting it on my computer.
If anyone can help me

That seems a really obvious answer but I didn't think of it.
Thanks!

How can I stop a movie from downloading? There is no place to cancel it. It's been trying to download for 3 days and my iPad says there is not enough storage .

How can I cancel a movie that has been trying to download for. 3 days? When I click on ITunes ,it says I don't have enough space. I tried to buy more and it went to the iCloud. Does anyone know how to cancel that movie?

I'm sure that you know by now but buying iCloud storage didn't do you any good. iCloud storage is for backups, and can't be used for local storage and that is where you needed the storage.
Have you tried deleting content on the iPad so that the download will resume? Settings>General>Usage>Storage. You can delete movies, TV Shows, and apps in there via the Edit button. You can download most purchased content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. Delete it now, and download it again later when you need it. Bear in mind that whe. You delete apps, you delete the data in the apps as well.
You might be able to pause the movie download by going to the Downloads tab in iTunes - tap on the movie icon and see if it will pause. Or try swiping across the progress bar to see if you can delete the download.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

How can I stop my ipod from updating to 6.0.1?

I was updating th settings to the latest software and hours later I found my screen had a sign that said plug into itunes. I plugged it into itunes, but screen didn't change and the software isn't updating! How can I stop the software from updating?

Put the iPod into DFU (Device Firmware Update mode). You software got corrupted, so you will have to restore your iPod which erases all data and settings.

Stop Premiere Elements from downloading

I use a cellular Internet connection and pay per MB
Every time I open Premiere Elements it uses 25 MB
Updating is disabled but it has not stopped Premiere Elements
This does not happen with Photoshop Elements
This does not happen with any other application
All application Updating is disabled
I do Manual Updates for everything
I have a Wireless Watcher that shows every byte used
I have tested this with every application
This only happens with Premiere Elements
Just to be sure I disabled all Adobe applications
It does not download anything, Just uses up 25 MB each time
How can I stop Premiere Elements from using up my MB

Thanks for the reply:
In Preferences you can choose to not be notified about updates.
However there is no option not to check for updates.
So that is what is happening, it is always checking for updates.
There should be a option to disable checking for updates.
I disabled updates in Adobe Reader X and Flash Player and
it does not check for updates for those.
I check manually for updates because of my connection but
mainly because when there is a update available I will go to the source
and download the update and install it myself which is the better way.
I will look for a way to disable the automatic checking for updates by
Premiere Elements and if not found I will contact Adobe as you suggested.

how do i stop an item from downloading?
the item has already downloaded but a 'ghost' download keeps trying but fails to download.
annoying!

Hello Hockeygurl12
If you are having an issue with your purchase, you should be able to go to the iTunes Store app, tap on More and then Downloads. Then you should be able to swipe from right to left to delete it. Then you can try to download it again from the Music app. If you are still unable to download your track, the report the issue to the iTunes Store.

I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago avaiable. Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore which i assume will literally delete any new contacts added...?

I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I recently sold my macbook air and also my mac book pro, so have no recent backups avaiable. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago available on an external hdd as a time machine backup. Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore? The reason i wish to do this is because in the update i didnt lose any messages, so all of the people i have met and networked with since that last update those many months ago, i have in my messages listings. They are all unidentified numbers at present but over time i will be able to work through the messages and based on the conversation recall who each was with. Also, yesterday, some two weeks after the update had left my contacts list entirely empty... a vast majority just reappeard, though all of them are without any phone numbers, all just emails or facebook contacts. This is the work of facebook not mac/ios6 isnt it...? Any help here would be greatly apprecaited. I am about 2 days from flying to canada and having those contacts would make life a lot easier.

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
Then test to see if it solved the problem.

Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID. If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice?

How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.
