Disable automatic updates for QuickTime 7.3 on Vista

Is there any way to disable automatic updates in order to do a corporate deployment?
I've tried playing around with the preference files but no matter what I do it keeps coming up with the update checkbox checked.
From looking at the posts on this forum it looks like Apple doesn't really care about the free version of QuickTime and that's pretty sad because a lot of people use that to evaluate and then go on to purchase Pro, but I guess you don't pop up on Apple's radar until you pay up. Kind of like MS!

The easy solution, then, is either a) to boycott anything that uses QuickTime (as I do, because the player is so annoying) or b) you could uninstall the Apple Software Update program in the Control Panel in case it's doing the update nonsense and ignoring the preference inside QuickTime not to update.

How to disable automatic updates for free reader

Nothing I read in these forums is the same as on my computer. I have XP pro and IE 8+ ---the menus never shows what people here tell to do to shut off the update notices. Please help.

That may depend on your installed Reader version; for Reader XI it is under Edit | Preferences | Updater:

How do I disable automatic updates?

I am going to have to use Firefox version 28 forever, exposing myself to many security risks in the process, because I do not like the drastic redesign of the interface in version 29 and Mozilla have not included an option to switch to the old interface.
Many support forum posts argue that bringing back the old interface is a 'simple' matter, but it is not. I have spent many hours on two PCs so far, fiddling with the recommended third-party add-ons (e.g. Classic Theme Restorer) in the attempt to get the browser looking the old way again. I can ascertain with confidence that it is NOT possible to get things looking exactly as they did before, and certainly not looking like the particular customized setup I had myself.
I have now re-installed version 28, and intend to continue using it indefinitely. However, automatic updates are still enabled, and Firefox has already tried to update itself to version 29 again. How can I disable automatic updates for good? I have tried some tricks like deleting the update files and then removing the update URL in about:config, but a new update was still downloaded somehow.
How can I nix automatic updates for good?

Hi,
It is true that the Classic Theme Restorer add-on will NOT bring back all of your customized settings/appearance on Firefox 28, but it will help a little It's recommended that you stay on the latest version to receive the latest security fixes and bug patches but you're free to downgrade if you want.
You can set these prefs in <code>about:config</code> to disable automatic updating: 
app.update.auto - false 
app.update.enabled - false 
app.update.silent - false

Disabling automatic updates - Centro?

Please help! My phone keeps trying to search for updates automatically, but since I don't currently have a data plan on my phone, it drains my battery if I don't catch it.
Is there a way to disable automatic updates on the Palm Centro? I've gone through all my individual applications, and it appears everything is turned off.
Thanks so much!!
This question was solved.

You're probably getting this from the MyTreo ap on your phone. Click on MyTreo to start it. When it's up, push the menu key and then choose Updates from the drop-list. Set Auto-Update to Off and hit <OK>.

Disable automatic updates in Adobe Reader DC?

Is it possible to disable automatic updates in the Adobe Reader DC? It's not under preferences where it used to be.

In an academic environment, the inability to disable updates is unacceptable. We have numerous computers that we intentionally never update. For example, all student computers never update; they are frozen with a program called DeepFreeze.
And even for our employee machines, no users have admin rights, so they cannot update the program themselves.
In addition, registry hacks are an unacceptable alternative to us. If something goes wrong, we have to explain to our CIO that we used a registry hack, and that is not going to go over well.
For now, we are going to hold off upgrading to the DC version until Adobe implements an official way to disable updates. If they refuse to implement an official method in the coming months, we'll just start using the browsers' built-in PDF readers and not install Adobe Reader at all.

How do I disable automatic updating? I am about to switch to another browser because of the frequency with which I am delayed by an automatic update without the option to put it off to another time.

I have been using Firefox and its ancestors since the beginning. I am at the end of my rope with it. When I click a link or open the browser it is because that is what I seek to have happen. Unless there is a way to turn off automatic updating, I am going to pack it in and find another platform. I cannot see what would be lost if Firefox would do its updating on the way out, when my attention has moved on, and it is not taking up my time. Is there a solution to this with Firefox?

It is true that the Classic Theme Restorer add-on will NOT bring back all of your customized settings/appearance on Firefox 28, but it will help a little It's recommended that you stay on the latest version to receive the latest security fixes and bug patches but you're free to downgrade if you want.

Is Using the Automatic Update for Flash Player Safe? It is Installed In System Preferences On My Mac

Hello-
One day I noticed that there was an icon on my MacBook Pro of Adobe Flash on the last row of system Preferences. I had never seen it before, and I had ben using Flash for a long time and updating it regularly.
It recently told me there is a newer version. I did not let it install it because I am having so many problems with viewing Flash Videos on websites. I have a MacBook Pro, Mac OS X 10.6.8. I use Safari 5.1.5, the latest as far as I know.
In using this automatic updater for Flash (there are actually several tabs when I click the Adobe icon not just the updater) in the Advanced tab of the Flash Player icon are there any special things I should do if I click yes update? should I close all the windows, apps, Safari? do a restart? I am debating if I should do a Clean Install, wipe all Flash Player off the Mac and just install the latest version rather then letting the updater install the latest version, which I think is 11.2.202.228. I currently have 11.1.102.64 with a bunch of video issues.
Thanks for any assistance.

Disable automatic update

How can I Turn off automatic updater and Macafee downloads? I am running it on XP with another antivirus.

Ok thanks. So this will no longer "touch" the songs in my iPod but it will still charge my iPod's battery, right?
My dad wanted to delete the songs I've downloaded that are already in my iPod, so I really need to disable automatic update.
Oh and one more thing: if I want to put new songs in my iPod, how do I do it now that automatic update is turned off?

Disabling Automatic Updates

Hi...
Adobe's Automatic Updater has been driving me crazy... have all the latest updates but it insists on updating them again and again and downloading a 350Mb plus file... so, a search on Google produced this site with simple instructions on how to turn it off:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402251
A few caveats though:
1/ Let the program run to the final screen
2/ 'Preferences' is not a tab but more of a link on the left of the screen
3/ Maybe disabling Automatic Update is enough... but i unchecked all the programs as well...
Cheers... Hope it works! Time will tell!!

Hi,
If they use a vulnerability scanner, it has a list of all known oracle's vulnerabilities and as long as you won't have patched the DB they will be seen by the scanner, and there's nothing you can do to avoid this unless you can work without network.
You can use sol.beach solution and explain your IT team that connections can only come from your local PC. If this solution is not possible, removal might be the only way to stop a vulnerability scanner.

Bug in Compatibility Update for QuickTime 7.5.5 ?

After installing the Compatibility Update for QuickTime 7.5.5, DVD Player 5.0.1 began frequently hesitating for a second or so, which completely ruined the experience of watching DVDs.
I reinstalled QuickTime 7.5.5 and that seemed to fix the problem.

HipHipHooRay!
Why doesn't Apple post messages on the discussion boards of such things? Especially for those on-going discussions relating to problems/issues that the latest software update will fix? Many of us subscribe to the topic related to our issues and word from Apple would be most welcomed.
Did the update work for you?

When downloading updates for Quicktime 7 and Itunes 10 I keep getting an error saying that files shared by these updates has an invalid signature and that the downloaded has been removed.

When downloading updated for Quicktime 7 and Itunes 10 I keep getting an error saying that files shared by these updates has an invalid signature and that the downloaded has been removed. If I don't get that message I get a message saying that the download was unsuccesful and that in order to download I need to go to tools and then select dowload only. Please help I really want to update my iphone!

Thanks for helping out, but I already tried these steps.
I even tried this on a iMac with similar results. The only difference was that the errorcode was called 2001 instead of 21.
Today I took the phone to www.iphoneambulancen.dk. A guy (in Aarhus, Denmark) that specializes in iPhone repairs. I figured, that given his occupation he'd seen most errorcdes. Two hours later, he called me back, and told me that he had replaced the battery.
So, it turns out that a broken battery can cause this behaviour.
But thanks again
