Every time I connect my Droid Maxx to my computer, it tries to install a Verizon Software Updater. I don't want this! How do I disable it?
Topic says it all. I don't want more junk on my Win7 computer. I don't want more junk running in the background. I'm not an idiot. I can decide for myself whether I want to upgrade my system or not. This installer crap is unacceptable. There must be a way to disable it - every - time - I connect my device to my computer for charge & storage.
Thank you so much. I'm so new to all this. This answered my question.

You cannot disable this. -
I am a mobile application developer (iOS and Android).
Our company bought an unlocked phone.
We have no need for backups.
Every time I plug our Droid 4 into the host computer (a Mac),
it automatically opens this website:

This is *REALLY* annoying.
Is there any way to disable this (and if so, how)?
Thanks,
ChuckThis can be a highly frustrating problem. I just spent 45 minutes working on an email. Nearing the end I go to grab my mouse after typing and accidentally hit mouse 4 and lose everything. This isn't the first time I have lost work or an email. I would say the ONLY reason why there currently lacks a strong feedback against this is because the majority of people do not have mouse 4+5 buttons on their mice. Please add the option to just disable this "feature". It's just far to easy to accidentally hit these buttons accidentally and potentially lose a lot. I don't know anyone who actually uses these buttons anyways.

Every time I connect my IPhone 5s to the computer it comes up as a new phone ,even know I have synced it to the computer before and it worked fine
I would try 2 things. First, I would de-authorise the computer, then authorise it again. If that doesn't work, then second, you could try uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling.

Every time I connect my iPhone 4 to my computer to sync, iTunes stops responding. I need to shut it down and restsrt to access iTunes. I have removed and redownloaded iTunes and the problem continues.
Try disconnect your computer from the internet and see if you can open iTunes and connect your device without crash.
if iTunes does open without crash, go to iTunes Menu Edit > Preferences, "Advanced" tab and click the "Reset Cache" button, OK.
Close your iTunes.
Now, use Windows Explorer to delete the contents of Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Download
You may now re-connect your internet then see if you can open iTunes and connect your device without issues. -
Hi guys, a game I'm trying to play keeps unexpectedly closing every time I try to play. When I try reopening, the same thing keeps popping up so I don't really know how to fix that problem. Can you help?
Plus this showed up when I looked up the details of why it quit unexpectedly.

I asked earlier. Purchased QT Pro. Every time I launch it I have to re enter the registration # which is a huge pain.
Someone (Link) wanted me to open the terminal and run some diagnostic. There is NO Way i should have to go into my terminal and run programs
to run an apple program I just purchased. I am using Lion 10.7.4, come-on apple help me fix this or refund my purchase. This is horridQuickTime Player 7.6.6 installs in the Utilities folder (not the same version 10.1 that installs in the Applications folder).
Once you enter the registration info the "Pro" features are unlocked for all User accounts on the machine.
Did you move QuickTime Player 7.6.6 from the Utilities folder?
Have you tested QuickTime Player 7.6.6 when logged in using a different User account? -

I have to delete all Apple drivers from Windows 7 every time I connect via USB
Hi,
Every time I connect to itunes via USB cable on my Windows & Laptop, the iphone DOE'S NOT SHOW UP IN MY COMPUTER. It shows up in iTunes and syncs ok, but I cannot access my photos from the phone in 'My Computer' !
As a consequence, I have to uninstal both the MTU driver (or Apple iPhone driver) from "Portable Devices" and the "Apple MObile Device USB Driver" from the USB Contollers tan from within "Device Manager". I then immediately scan the comuter for changes and everything works again and my iphone is listed in "my Computer" again. Eveything is fully functional at this stage.
HOWEVER, as soon as take the phone off the |USB cable and try to reconnect the iphone again to the PC, the very same thing happens again and I have to go through ther same procedure all over again!
I have never had these problems before updating my iphone and itunes the last few times, not sure exctly when the problem started, but it was at least a couple of updates ago!
Another thing I noticed since the one from last ios update for the iphone 4, is that my phone mutes itself at random times and I have to restart or respring the device to get sound back!
Not related to the previous problem, but I thought i'd mention it
Since the last ios update a few days ago, it hasn't muted itselld yet but as I have not read anywhere anout anyone experiencing the same problem, I am not too hopeful that it has been fixed!
If anyone can help with a more permanent solution to the USB problem, I would be very grateful.
By the way, I have changed USB cables, restarted iphone and laptop several times, completely removed iteuns and reinstalled it as per the instructions on the itunes site, made ure everything is updated to the very latetest firmware and software, in short, I have tried EVERYTHING, so please don't state the obvious in your replies, I have pretty much tried everything before coming onto this forum.
Many thanks in advance,Sorry, just to confirm, I DID NOT ACTUALLY ANSWER MY OWN QUESTION!
I replied to the previous message from my iphone and I managed to hit the link to "This has answered my question" by accident!
I AM STILL LOOKING FOR A RESOLUTION TO MY ORIGINAL PROBLEM. CAN SOMEONE ALSO NIW TELL ME HOW TO GET RID OF THE GREEN TEXT TGAT SAYS TGAT MY QUESTION IS ANSWERED? That is a pain! It should at least ask you to confirm that your question is actually answered and you didn't hit it by mistake, like I did! -
I am using the wifi network at home but every time I connect I have to my wifi password. Is there a way to have my wifi network per-identified on my iPad and once it's detected the iPad connects to it without having to put my password again???

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

While updating my iphone 4s to ios6, I had to restore it. Now every time I connect to itunes, I get the "Set Up Your iPhone" window with the set up as new iphone and restore from backup options. After the restore, I got everything except my apps and music back. Do I need to set the phone up as new again?
