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"

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.

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. -
I would like to know how I can see automatic updates from Windows or HP before they go into my computer? The reason is, is that these auto updates mess up my IE and my printer software. I have a HP 2000 Notebook PC, Windows 8, 64 bit. I would like to be able to filter or see these updates before they go in my computer. Is there anything I can do, or a setting I can set?
Thanks,
SusieHi Mikipups,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP 2000 Notebook and issues Microsoft updates. Here is a fix from Microsoft.
Type Update in the Start Menu search box, select Windows Update from the top of the menu and in Windows Update select Change Settings on the left side of the window.
Hope this helps.

How do I stop updates uploading on my mobile please? Because I cannot take any photos at all on it as the iOS update program 7.0.3 is hogging up every inch of my mobile's space, not allowing me to keep my photos even though I've not that many anyway. Help?
Turn off Wifi in settings and then turn it on again; this will pause your device's update from updating.
To stop automatic updates of applications, go to settings, Itunes&appstore, scroll down to automatic downloads and turn off updates
Hope I've helped -

How do I stop the update banner from annoying me every few minutes?
How do I stop the Updates Available banner from annoying me every few minutes? I have tried to deselect the "Automatically check for updates" box in System Preferences==>Software Update, but it doesn't help.
I prefer to manually check for updates when convenient and install only those that I wish to install at a time of my choosing. Surely Apple wouldn't be so heavy-handed as to make this impossible?

There used to be a preference setting in Pages. Now it seems gone in Pages 5. So how do I stop automatic conversation of URLs to hyperlinks and seeing them underlined in text. Sometimes I want it, but not always.
The preference setting to turn off links is gone. When you enter content that triggers link detection, a link character style gets applied. Right-click on the link, choose Edit Link from the menu, and then Remove.
To prevent Pages from automatically detecting links, visit Edit > Substitutions > and deselect Smart Links. -

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> -
How do you stop automatic renewal
how do you stop automatic renewal when Adobe is wiritng in a foreign language you do not speak?
What is "automatic renewal"? What is "Adobe writing"? I'm sorry, I do not understand your language either.
If you want, you can write your question in your own language; perhaps I can understand it better. -
