Disable auto-download

How do I disable automatic file downloading in Safari 7.0.6? I would like to set up Safari so that before downloading a file I am asked whether or not I would like to download the given file.
Thanks!

Go to Safari > Preferences then select the General tab.
Deselect: Open "safe" files after downloading
Another way to access Safari Preferences. Command , (comma) will open Safari > Preferences for you.

How to disable Auto Play of downloaded music?

Whenever I download music from a file delivery service, it automatically opens in iTunes. How can I disable a music file automatically opening in any application when I download it? I've checked Settings, and preferences for Safari, iTunes, Finder, etc. But can't seem to find the place to disable auto opening of music files.

Open the General tab of Safari's preferences and set it not to automatically open safe files. This applies to more than just music.

Restrict/disable ability to turn on auto download of apps

Hello!
Is there a way to restrict the ability to turn on the auto download of apps onto the iPad? It seems like this may be a big oversight, unless I am missing this setting on the iPad itself or the iPhone Config Util.
THanks,
-Josh

Turn it off in the settings - Settings>Store>Automatic Downloads>Apps>off.
If you want to restrict downloading of apps - then enable restrictions - Settings>General>Restrictions>Enable Restrictions, enter a passcode and then restrict downloading of apps.

Thanks a lot!

IPad Air auto downloads music that plays through wifi

Hey Gang,
So, first off, I do NOT have auto-downloads on for music, ONLY for updates. I had a couple of playlists downloaded of music, but the iPad kept telling me I was running out of space when I didn't add anything, but it seemed to notify me when I was listening via iCloud. I tried managing my space through iTunes, but when I'd deselect ANY music my iPad was saying I had 3.4 GBs of music. When I checked Settings/General/About it kept saying I had 407 songs taking up space. In iTunes it would show a bunch of songs as if they were just connected through the cloud (which was disabled, as was homeshare), and as you know that should' take up any memory.
I even went through and deleted All Music from the About section and when I restarted, at first it said No Data, but then all of a sudden 407 songs would be there (unfortunately some regrettable purchases too!). I tried again and I kept watching the tracks go up when I listened to a song through iCloud (other attempts the 407 songs just appeared at once). So I turn my WiFi off; only three songs on the iPad, the ones I just played. So for whatever reason the iPad was downloading a bunch of songs as I played them (that came back as soon as I turned wifi back on).
I have a feeling when I turn iMatch back on that every song I listen to (via the cloud, supposedly) will start to take up storage space on my iPad, which is total crap. All my software is up to date, my 27" 3.4GHz i7 iMac is only two years old. I have a feeling it's something to do with Apple not liking all the cds I copied to iTunes and then saved to iCloud (they tend to only want you to buy music through iTunes).
Anyway, I seem to be the only person with this problem on the interwebs. Let me know if you have any suggestions (reformatted a bunch too).
P.S. I have the same problem on my iPhone 4S, but figured it was just 'cause it's older. iPad air is totally new! Probably a IOS7 issue...

The more I think about this, isn't a black screen with the white apple logo the INSTALLATION screen? Not the downloading screen (which is white with a BLACK apple logo...)
Can anyone clear that up? Thank you!
Ok: the MORE I think about this, that was the installation screen NOT the 7.1.2 download screen because now I remember it asking me to INSTALL it, .... definitely installation screen.
So new question: even though it appeared to not finish installing before I rebooted it, do you think all is fine now? Thanks!

How do i disable auto-start in Adobe Quick Launch; elements 3.0

how do i disable auto-start in Adobe Quick Launch; elements 3.0

I guess i don't remember that in photoshop elements 3, so could you explain a little more about what your asking?
What operating system are you using?
Unless your talking about the welcome screen that gives a choice of what to start when ckicking on the pse 3 shortcut (welcome screen, organizer or editor)
Window>Welcome in the editor or organizer
Or auto launching the adobe photo downloader when you have a camera or camera card connected.

Disable Auto Align in Photomerge

Good day.
So far I got good reply.
For now I wonder, can "Auto Align Selected Layers Based on Contents" be disabled during photomerge?
Why do I want that?
=> First, most of times the auto align result is not good
=> it takes time to wait for window to appear, sometimes hangs
=> When all images are jumbled together, it is like making jigsaw puzzle.
Actually I got used to Photoshop CS2 where I disable auto align check box...
And I manually create the "mosaic" (not just a flat panorama) from images taken from microscope.
Thanks in advance.

However, even if I use interactive layout in PSE11 (trial version)...
The software still attempts to "Auto Align''
I don't know of a way to turn that off.
r_vinoya wrote:
is it possible to photomerge first without blending... then blend it later when you already fixed the image position?
You can turn the blending off, but I don't think that automated blending later can be done.
As it seems that you want to do most of the work manually, have you considered just creating a new blank image of the anticipated width and height of your final composite (plus a contingency) and dragging your source files to it to put each one on a layer where you can individually move them into place?
There is a workaround to restore the interactive layout to PSE12 - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5741182. If you don't have access to PSE11 (you need to copy some of the PSE11 files) you can download its trial from http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l. Follow their very important instructions EXACTLY or you will likely encounter authorisation errors or download the latest version instead.

How to disable auto update jre-6u20 by script

Hi,
our users can not update java, because of domain-restrictions.
So they should not become the notification.
How can we disable auto update for version jre-6u20 by script?

Trying to figure out the same thing. I came across the following two links but I don't think they will disable the updates to community help itself. So from what I can gather you need to do the following:
Turn off autoupdates to AIR (See below)
Turn off updates to Community Help (No clue how to do this)
Install Local content (See below)
Disables updates to AIR

Turn off internet access/help and copy local help

Turn off internet access (not sure if you need to do this one and the one above or just the one above)
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/846/cpsid_84665.html
You can download the latest version of AIR and Community Help.

Java web start unable to auto download java 1.6.0_14

Hi,
My application runs on java 1.6.0_14 and i want clients to use either 1.6.0_14 or higher while running the application. In the JNLP file i have mentioned j2se version as 1.6.0_14+
If the client machine has a java version lesser than 1.6.0_14, Java web start is not automatically downloading the given version from sun auto download site.
Isn' t this version supported by Sun for auto download? If yes, how to get around this problem?

Thanks..
We do have a web page from which we access the jnlp and that web page has javascript to force download of a specific version of JRE. Once it downloads the application on client machine, it creates an icon on the desktop.
If the application and jnlp is changed on the server, we want clients to go through the icon on desktop and still get the version of jre mentioned in the updated jnlp rather than having them go through the web page again do download the new JRE required...

Help! iTunes auto-downloading apps I don't use anymore

I don't want iTunes to re-download Broken Sword and Asphalt 5 for the iPad/iPhone. My iTunes is sync'd with my Dropbox and it wastes like a GB of space between the two of them. I have it unchecked in the store section of iTunes to automatically download apps. But after syncing my iPhone they start to download EVERY TIME. Drives me nuts. I've deleted, unchecked the box that says to auto download, etc. I don't have them on my devices either. I will never ever play those games again even though I paid for them. What can I do to have it quit doing that?

try sending an email to the iTS customer service using this form and ask the folks there to remove the item(s) from your download queue.

How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Pref.] - [Display] - [Arrangement]

Does anyone know How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Preferences] -> [Display] -> [Arrangement]?
It always want to align the two screens from the top when they are lined up close together and I need them to be aligned from the bottom. Since the resolution heights are so close together (1080 & 1050) it does not allow one to align side by side from the bottom as it prioritizes top alignment.
I guess I'm looking for a script to disable this feature.

Anyone got any ideas?

I am trying to redownload the music we lost after computer crashed.a message is showing this computer is already authorized with an apple id, if i download past purchases with my id i can not auto-download or download past purchases for 90 days????

What does auto-download mean and why am i getting this message?

Just to be clear - I just bought a new song and can't download it into the library because of this error message.

Automatic Downloads and Strange Error Message: "You can auto-download purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days"

Hi gang-
Yesterday I noticed that iTunes on my iMac had not auto-downloaded several new songs that I had recently purchased on my iPhone.    In iTunes Preferences, under Store -> Automatic Downloads, I always have Music selected so all songs purchased from any device using my Apple ID normally download automatically.
To troubleshoot this, I double-checked my Preferences and sure enough, Music was de-selected under Automatic Downloads.   I then Selected it and clicked OK.   Here's where it gets weird and I get this error message:
This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can auto-download purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 84 days.
I read and re-read this message and none of it seems to apply to me.   I have only one Apple ID.   I am currently logged in with iTunes to that one Apple ID.   All my iTunes Music ever has been purchased with that one Apple ID.   I am not trying to associate this computer or any other with a different Apple ID.
I logged iTunes out and then back in again and tried all the above- but same error message.
So, as it is now, I am unable to turn on Automatic Downloads in iTunes.
Anyone know what the heck is going on?
Thanks!
Dave

Hey gang-
Okay, this gets more and more bizarre.   I sent a support email to Apple and basically they said "...it seems that someone else associated your Mac with their Apple ID. That's the reason your purchases won't download."
Yikes!   My wife and I live alone- and we have exactly one and only one Apple ID.    Would somebody have needed physical access to my iMac to do that?
Support then said "You can view which devices or computers are currently associated, remove unused devices or computers, and see how long before they can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer."
Okay- so I logged into My Account in iTunes.   On the list of associated devices, my own iMac is NOT on that list.   But I am logged in under the same Apple ID I've had for years on that iMac.
So my big question right now is...if my iMac (that I've owned for 5 years) has somehow been dis-associated from my Apple ID, how do I find out what Apple ID it is associated with?
Thanks gang for trying to help me unravel a mystery.
Dave
PS- Here's an Apple Tech article on iTunes associations, but it doesn't really go beyond what we've discussed above:

How can I disable auto-switching desktops?

I've long appreciated the spaces/mission control feature of OS X. However, it seems more oriented to organizing desktops by application rather than by project.
Like many users, I suspect, I use different desktops for different projects, each of which requires a variety of applications (finder, word docs, spreadsheets, etc). When I'm working on project 1 in desktop 1, I never want to be whisked away to desktop 2. In fact, I never want to be switched to a different desktop automatically. If I click on an application, I want it to open a new window for that application. If a new iteration of an app can't be opened (ie, Mail), I'd like it to pull Mail to me rather than send me off to it. Aren't apps supposed to come when we call, not the other way around?
I have unchecked "...switch to a space with open windows of that application" in System Prefences, but my desktop continues to auto-switch, especially with Finder.
In short: is there a way disable auto-switching entirely? I'd like to be able to assign windows and navigate manually without being constantly pulled away from the project I'm working on.
Thanks for the help; I really appreciate people spending their time helping others on forums like this one.

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.
