How can I stop auto update for the OS (not the apps)?

Is there a way to stop the phone (mine is samsung note 3) from updating the OS (not the apps)? It works fine with the current version, and I have had/heard about issues with OS upgrades basically messing up the phone.

  • TS3147 How do I stop auto updates for an HP printer I no longer have?

    I keep getting auto update notices for a printer I have discarded.  How do I stop this?  Within the last year my "HP" printer quit and I replaced it with a "Brother" printer.  It is annoying to keep getting the HP irrelevant update notifications.  I removed the HP printer info in the application folder on my hard drive, but that did not help.

    I use Find File myself.  I think it has been discontinued.

    To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to prevent the automatic downloading of the SD version when you buy an HD show.
    You can, if you wish, suggest that the ability to prevent the SD version from downloading through the iTunes feedback page. But since the SD version is needed for use on iPods and there at least at present is no mechanism for someone to download the SD version at a later time should they decide they need it, Apple may just continue to force the downloading of both versions. If they get enough feedback on the issue, though, they may figure something out.

  • How can I stop auto deletion of messages from my inbox?

    How can I stop auto deletion of messages from my inbox?
    I've tried to fix this by changing the IMAP account's Junk settings so that they are moved either to the
    "Junk" folder on 'account name'
    or
    Other: (drop down list for choosing accounts and one of its folders) Junk on 'account name'
    I am sure I lost all of my important, not junk mail, amazon.com messages as well as other messages from comercial sites.
    Secondly: Please tell me what the difference is between the 2 junk folder choices above.
    Thank you,
    - Jim

  • How can I stop being harrased for keychain passwords

    How can I stop being harassed for keychain passwords?  All my key chain passwords and my login are the same. I am asked for address book, calendar, safari, mail, iMessage, just to name a few.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ First Aid
    There are four checkboxes in the window that opens. Check all of them. if they're not already checked. Close the window.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • How can you stop iTunes splitting up a cd in the music library

    How can you stop iTunes splitting up a cd in the music library

    Try highlighting the tracks in iTunes, right-clicking and Getting Info, then marking them as Part of a compilation.
    If that doesn't take care of it, read Apple's document (where the pic came from) -> Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?
    WTH.

  • How can i stop my movie for 5, 6 or 7 seconds?

    how can i stop my movie for 5, 6 or 7 seconds in actions scrip 2.0 or 3.0

    Look at using a stop(); command followed by a setTimeout() function call that ends up calling a function that executes a play command...
    stop();
    var stoID = setTimeout(startAgain, 5000);  // 5000 milliseconds
    function startAgain(){
         play();

    How can I gift a single song (i.e. not the whole album) to a friend?

    If you're trying to do this from an iOS device, you can't. You'll need to use iTunes on a computer to be able to give a single song. If you are using a computer, tell us what OS and iTunes it's running and where you're encountering difficulty and we'll try to help further.

  • How can I stop auto refreshing a new web page in XP immediately after its opened?

    In XP, once I access a new web page Firefox auto refreshes that page once the page is ~80-90% opened - how can i stop this refresh?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • How can i stop iTunes 7 for Windows from opening automatically whenever I browse my Music Folder in Windows?

    Whenever I'm browsing through my files on my PC, if I open the iTunes folder inside my music folder, iTunes automatically launches.  If I close iTunes without browsing away from this folder, it simply re-opens itself.
    edit:  I have no Apple devices currently connected to the computer and WiFi Sync is disabled.
    How can I stop this behaviour?

    How do I disable itunes on my iphone 4s?
    iTunes app on the iPhone is for purchasing music.
    The fact the iPhone starts playing when connected to your car stereo is a function of your car bluetooth system.
    Consult your car dealer/bluetooth system manual.
    I have attempted to delete all music from the device (so there would be nothing to play), but 1 song remains in the iphone memory and I have been unable to delete that song.
    Connect the iPhone to computer and select it in iTunes.
    Click the Music tab and uncheck Sync music.
    Then click Apply at lower right of iTunes.

  • How can I refuse an update for software I no longer use (it is for a printer I no longer own)?

    I  now have a Cannon printer and no longer have the Epson I used previously.  However, I cannot seem to find a way to ask Apple to stop offering updates for the Epson .. How do I make this stop?  is there something I need to uninstall, or what?  Thanks for any help on this.

    In the App Store's Updates page see if you find a link in the SHORT description named "more." Do not click on the link. Instead CTRL- or RIGHT-click on it and select Ignore from the context menu. This way it won't appear again.

  • How can i stop Pages and Numbers JUMPING ALL OVER THE SCREEN. MAKING ME SEASICK! PLEASE HELP

    how can i stop Pages and Numbers  screen JUMPING ALL OVER the place when i just touch my mouse. i have tried and tried to change the mouse settings - but it is the software. especially Numbers. you can't even see what the page size is until you print. i am so SEASICK! PLEASE HELP.

    Thanks for the trouble to reply. this problem only happens with Pages and Numbers for me. i have done all the tricks like restarting. the main problem is that the working space is not 'stable' - it has no 'ends' even on full screen. in Numbers - UNLESS I SET IT TO 25% VIEW (which is way too small) - the actual total 'work space' is way off the grid - so every time i move the mouse the table i am working on zooms off to left or right, at the slightest touch. i have set my mouse to no gestures!
    the thing is this did not happen before the latest upgrades.
    but thanks anyway. SG.
    if you are a techy person - i have another prob. in Mail i am unable to set the SORT / VIEW messages to BY DATE.
    (it used to be ok, at one time, too). now it continually reverts to BY SUBJECT oh so annoying !
    restarting etc does not change it. resetting preferences does not change it.
    maybe i need a new Mac ?
    mine is a 27-inch, Mid 2011. running latest.
