How do I stop automatic billing for my national geographic subscription for 24 Dec 2013. Thanks....mervin

Hey mervin9,
Thanks for the question. I understand you wish to turn off automatic-renewal of your subscription. The following article outlines how to do so:
iTunes Store: Purchasing and managing auto-renewing subscriptions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
Turning off auto-renewing subscriptions on a computer
To turn off auto-renewal:
1. Launch iTunes on your computer.
2. Choose Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
3. Enter your Apple ID and password when prompted.
4. Choose Store > View My Account. You may be asked to re-enter your Apple ID password. Click View Account.
5. From the Account Information screen, scroll to the bottom of the page to the Settings section.
6. Click Manage to the right of Subscriptions.
7. From the Manage Subscription screen click on the subscription that you would like to manage.
8. On the Edit Subscription screen, you will see the current subscription status and subscription details.
9. Click the Off radio button to turn off Auto-Renewal.
10. You will see a confirmation window asking you to confirm.
11. Click Continue to proceed.
Note: When you turn off auto-renewal, you will no longer continue to be billed for your subscription, however your subscription will continue until it expires.
Thanks,
Matt M.

How do I stop automatic updates of my apps??

I am sooooo angry. When I leave updates untouched it is because I do NOT want to update that app! Most recently I DID NOT want to update iBook. I'd read how ugly it was and I wanted to keep my existing version. But today, I noted that it had been automatically updated and guess what it is every bit as ugly as reported. I am fuming. Surely Apple will allow me to have SOME control over my own device?!
Any help in stopping automatic updates on my iPad apps is much appreciated!

First of all, note that apps are automatically updated only in iOS 7.
If you are running iOS 7, open Settings > iTunes & App Store, and turn off "Updates" under "Automatic Downloads"

Can I interrupt an automatic update to iPhoto? If so, how? And how can I stop automatic updates? This current update has been running for over 4 hours now. I have a MacBook Pro w/OSX 10.9.1

Can I interrupt an automatic update to iPhoto? Also, how can I turn OFF automatic updates?

as Larry said, just a caution about the App Store Preferences:
If you do not want your software to update automatically, disable "Install app updates". But better not disable the option "Install system data files and security updates". If there are security updates available, it is important to get them installed asap.

HT4922 How do I stop automatic updates of Microsoft Silverlight on MacBook?

Microsoft Silverlight keeps trying to update on my computer and is really slowing it down. How do I stop these pop up boxes for automatic updates?

Do you actually need it? Not many websites have Silverlight content, Netflix being perhaps the most notable exception. The best way to stop the updates would be to get rid of it.

You are mistaken, you can manage your auto renewing subscriptions from the Account Information screen in the iTunes app on a computer.

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.

Deauthorize All, then authorize the active computers.

When I try to download update, I save the file as directed. However, the update is not applied. How do I apply the update for Firefox?

I am being prompted to download the update to a new version of Firefox. When I click on download, I receive a window to save the file. I save the file instead of canceling. After the download has been saved, my version of Firefox still has not been update. How do I apply the update?

Thanks Alex, but sadly I already tried that. Neither .docx or .xlsx files show up in the content list. They both show as a Chrome HTML document so changing how Firefox addresses those doesn't help since it thinks its the same type of file. I don't think I can manually add files into the "Content Type" left side nav.

Automatic update for firefox on windows 7 is not working. Spinning circle

Firefax seems to be trying to upload the 3.6.9... version but never finishes.

How to get automatic updates for P750 custom build

I recently purchased a custom built P750 and want to sign up for automatic updates. There is no option for just a P750 which is my complete model number.
8GB ram
I7 2.20GHz
Windows HP SP1 with all updates installed at this time.
How can I get automatic updates for this machine and operating system and if so, how do I get signed up for those?
Should I just choose a model number and pretend it is the model I have? Which number should I choose?
Jon
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Satellite P750 (PSAY3U-0RF03H)
All computers in the same part-number family (PSAY3U) are essentially the same. The drivers and utilities for this one should work.
Satellite P750-BT4G22 (PSAY3U-08703H)
So go here.
Hmm. Not many there. So let's go to the equivalent part-number family in Europe (PSAY3E).
Get those here.
Lots of ways to wiggle.

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:<br>
app.update.auto - false<br>
app.update.enabled - false<br>
app.update.silent - false<br>

Turn off automatic update of Firefox on Gnome 3, Fedora 15

On Fedora 15, using Gnome 3, I am unable to turn off automatic updates for Firefox, I am only able to turn off auto updates for Add-ons and Search Engines.

Possibly you have obtained a modified version of Firefox. Preferences, chrome, js or whatever may have been modified.
If work requires you to develop on certain versions, and you are doing some of that on this computer, why not install multiple copies of Firefox, including the required versions. I trust the required versions will be the currently supported versions; at the moment that is 3.6, 6, 7, 8 or 9
You should ensure you use multiple profiles so each has a unique profile.
For the current problematic firefox 6 do a clean install, deleting the original program files, but not the profile files. (or possibly an additional install in a custom location with a new profile - allowing you to retain the current firefox 6, and a standard firefox 6) Profiles may be cloned/copied if required, bookmark libraries may be accessed from other versions/profiles if necessary, and multiple versions can be run concurrently. ( I talk from a Windows perspective, but it is unlikely Linux is going to differ)
