Control Xcode background downloads

Hello,
I have 4.3.2 and I have noticed that Xcode downloads iOS simulators and Device Debugging Support in the background. These files seem to average slightly more than half a gig, so they are not small updates by any means.
I have the checkbox "Check for and install updates automatically" unchecked, yet these sneaky background downloads continue. I've noticed that if I close Xcode during one of these downloads, instead of gracefully saving the position it is at and resuming when I reopen Xcode, the download starts over when I reopen Xcode. Oh, and I don't code for iOS, so all of that is a waste anyway.
So my question is, is there a way to stop these downloads since the checkbox seems to have no control over it?
Thanks
S.

Click the settings button at the bottom left of the Podcasts view. Change the Podcast Defaults to something other than Download All, then, if you want adjust individual subscriptions.

  • Xcode continuously downloading documentation

    since updating to the latest developer preview 3.2, Xcode keeps downloading the documentation:
    10.6 core library,
    and the
    3.2 developer Tools library
    I have disabled the automatic updating, and this has fixed it, but the damage has already done, Xcode has d/l gigabytes of data in the background. In any case, I would actually quite like the documentation on my Mac.
    why does Xcode keep updating these two files?
    does it have to re download the entire file each time something is changed... rather than just the changes. I thought all the support files were installed when I install xCode.

    Post to the developer forums under OS X Technologies. BTW, 3.2.1 is the latest version. Under Preferences->Documentation, uncheck Check for & install updates automatically. Note that it only updates when there are changes. It's just that the process is slower than molasses and you have to be patient. E.g., I last updated on 1/21. Just checked now and these four were updated:
    Java, Core, Legacy, and Dev Tools. Took 34 minutes to update them on a fast roadrunner cable: average 2.535 GB/sec downloads.

  • Lumia 730 ds : background downloading issue

    I've checked it with both data connection & Wi-Fi. My Lumia 730 is not supporting background downloading. It stops when i do some other task on my phone & have to restart it each time & also sometimes d page crashes..
    PLZ HELP..

    What are you downloading exactly? In windows phone only the app which is currently in foreground will be executed. If any up is in background it will be stopped. Exeptions are speciall background tasks, provided by some apps. Execution of background task could be allowed or blocked in energy saver settings for each app which provides background tasks.
    Please check if the app you are using provides background tasks and check if background tasks are allowed for this application.

  • Background downloading....which application ?

    My iMac will start downloading in the background but I'm unable to track down which application
    is doing it.  I have not even launched Safari yet and it will often download for 4-5 mins.  Really slows down my network
    and hogs the bandwidth.  Is there any program I can run to tell which of my applications is the culprit?
    I've tried to catch it by checking to see who is enabled for background downloading but so far no luck.
    Virus scan shows nothing so I suspicious it just a update or something but I would like to know
    which program is doing it.
    Thanks

    My guess is the anti virus software you are using may be the problem. As there are no (that's zero, none, zip, nada) viruses for OS X using anti virus software is a waste of resources and time. I would suggest reading the Macintosh Virus Guide.
    You can try downloading and using Little Snitch, this may provide the information you're after.

  • Background download settlement list from F110

    hi  there, is it possible to background download settlement lists from F110 ? I need to download the settlement lists of last year, it is too much and boring. is there any shortcut?

    Hi Eddy,
    Do you mean you want to download the clearing document list?. If yes, you can downalod it from Table REGUP.
    Give the parameters on the selection screen  in Table REGUP and execute it in Background. Once done, download the spool.

  • DPS subscriptions: Background Downloads working?

    Last week I subscribed to The New Yorker to test iTunes subscriptions, Adobe DPS and Newsstand.
    The newest issue "January 9, 2012" appears in my newsstand, but without the red badge on the newsstand icon, no notification at all and not downladed.
    when I tap the new cover in the newsstand rack, the New Yorker App just starts and displays the old issue I was reading before.
    Is this the supposed behaviour?
    I thought the newest issue will be downladed in the background (background downloads are activated in settings)
    —Johannes

    I set my iPad's language to english and wow — The NewYorker looks amazing. They have a beautiful and great store.
    As far as I could recognize it, today the newsstand showed to correct cover for the new issue without opening it (the app might be running in the background).
    But background downloads and notification: still not working.
    the newsstand SHOULD look like this, right?
    when I open the new yorker app now I still get this: all issues purchased but not downloaded.
    Is there something wrong at the NewYorker or is this a server issue?
    am I supposed to see the progress of the background download inside the library view of the viewer?

  • Error in Control Framework: Background job failed

    Hi Experts,
    One background job failed with job log: Error in Control Framework in ECC 6.0 system; the job is supposed to produce a XML report. Can anyone please give some idea on this why it could happen? One SAP note 893534 has described same kind of issue but in CRM system. That note even cant be implemeneted in ECC 6.0. Any workaround? Is it a BASIS issue here?
    Thanks & Regards,
    SKB

    Hello,
    please check the variant. We had this problem, and when checking the variant I got a shortdump because the variant did not fit to the program (there were problems with subscreens in the selection screen). After adjusting the variant with program RSVARDOC_610 the variant was ok.
    I can not check if this solved the problem because the job runs weekly, and the next job is on Monday. But give it a try...

  • I have 2 desktops. mine and my sons. His is controlled by parental controls, when firefox downloaded the latest version he is no longer able to get on firefox on his desktop. please help.

    I have Cox Internet service, which allows me to control what content other users on my computer see and do. My son has parental controls which do not allow him to view certain websites, download programming, ext... With this last update to Firefox, I am still able to get on the internet, but when he tries to click on the Firefox icon on his desktop it tells him there has been an error and shuts down. He is forced to use Internet Explore. I do not want him using this web browser. Please help us get him back on Firefox.
    Thank you Michelle Brooks

    Add-ons are the responsibility of their authors. McAfee does not even put their extension on http://addons.mozilla.org you had to install it from their site.
    Disable "McAfee Site Advisor" extension which was just updated to 3.4.0, which probably took it out of the addons block list.
    * "Ctrl+Shift+A" > find McAfee Site Advisor and use "Disable", and then restart Firefox.
    * Do a Google Search no problem
    * It seems that if you re-enable Site Advisor again, and restart Firefox you are okay. At least you know where to look if you get the error again or Google searches slow down.

  • XCode 3 download gives "file too large" error msg

    When I tried to download XCode 3 (XCode 3.26 and iOS SDK 4.3) from the developer website, the download manager displayed an error message just after the file finished downloading, saying that the file was too large for my hard drive (insufficient memory). Although it was a 4GB file, I had plenty of disk space. This happened twice with two different disk drives (a 250 GB Iomega and an 8GB flash drive). Any recommendations?
    Thanks,
    Josh

    I had plenty of disk space.
    That's a technical term way over my head
    What is the total capacity of your hard drive in GB?
    What is the exact amount of unused space on your hard drive?

  • How to control an mp3 downloaded to an ipad?

    I am on IOS 8 and have never used itunes to listen to a podcast. In the iPad safari browser, I clicked on a link for a podcast on the webpage, which said "Download the mp3".
    The podcast mp3 immediately started playing. But I could not find a player where I could control it, i.e., I could not stop, pause, go forward or reverse.
    Since I didn't download the podcast in iTunes, it didn't show up there.
    How do you control the playback of an mp3 downloaded this way? And does the mp3 stay on the ipad so that I can play it again without going to the website?

    It is not possible to remotely control the screen of an iPad unless you jailbreak and install a VNC server. This is because the security model in iOS does not allow an app to reach outside of its sandbox to control other apps or the springboard home screen. Apple does not provide any remote control functionality at the iOS level either. There is no way to do what you are asking for without jailbreaking.
