How do I stop Fire Fox auto Updates?

all of the boxes are properly checked and it still updates. I want total control of what goes on my computer. I hate auto updates, I want to tell it when and if to update. I am about to uninstall Fire Fox and change if I can't solve this. How do I stop you from over riding my settings of NEVER check , never update ? I do not let any one or any program change anything on my computer NO MATTER WHAT! SO what gives, how do I stop you from doing it?

How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
Another Easier Alternative:
While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys in Windows (CMD + Option keys on a Mac). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes. The iPod will then appear in the iTunes source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto-sync and then you can release the keys. This action may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
You can then right-click on the iPod icon in iTunes source column and select iPod Options, then check the box that says Manually manage songs and playlists. You can now manage your library without losing any songs on the iPod.
If connecting to a
i different computer
than the iPods Home Computer, iTunes will ask you if you want to update your iPod and give you an opportunity to opt out. This will not happen if you connect to the Home computer iTunes will auto-sync without warning!. Best to know the difference.
Then: Transfer music manually

How do I stop Fire fox from down loading adds about fat women and up dates

I use Windows 7 the browser Internet Explorer is troublesome with banking programs, so I changed to Fire Fox BUT there are too many add on's, you never know what it is going to do next one minute it giving out security messages, the next it is using popups to advertise weight reduction and trying to get me to up date something to play music .
I don't want all that shite, I remember years ago I used Mozilla but it made such a big deal out of everything I got rid of it, is there a version I could buy just so I don't have to put up with that rubbish of jiggling adds?
I do not want flashy, look at me sort of software, I want soft ware that is a quiet achiever , just do the job and wait till you ask for help then dangle your adds.
I f you can't suggest a remedy then it's going , the way of the DODO never to return .
And I don't want some " piss in your pocket excuse" fix it or delete
And when I do try to change it and ask for support I get answers like "Firefox prevented this site ( support.mozilla.org) from asking you to install software on your computer"
Then when you press ok I get "The add on could not be downloaded because a connection failure on support.mozilla.org"
I have tried the manual steps but there is no Trobleshooting information on this page , there is no help on this page.
I think you guys are on another planet or you smoke too much weed, I fact I might delete it now and not wait for you to come out of the basement with an answer and i see at he bottom you already have educated guesses as to what is wrong, I know what is wrong, "too many add on stuff" you must have a line in the software that goes something like " when in doubt put another pop up in goto line 7 put another popup in.

Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto

Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto.
Hi I've done a lot of searches on how to do this but no answers found.
Imovie is beginning to become really slow because of the large number of video's. It takes 3 minutes to startup. Editing is sometimes slow lot's of spinning beach balls e.t.c.
I would like to only import the video I want to edit and hopefully get a quicker Imovie in the process.
My Iphoto library is about 95 Gbyte in size.
My mac has 4 gb ram and I use the internal disk.
Any other ways to work with Imovie/Iphoto are also welcome.
regards

I won't get iMovie 9 till Tuesday, but based on what you said I may need to take some precautions. One reason I didn't like iMovie 8 is because it automatically imported everything in iPhoto library. What I'm going to do is create a new iPhoto library before importing the photos/videos from the camera. Or if you already have it in your main iPhoto library copy only the photos you'll use in your iMovie 9 project to the new library. Then start iPhoto while pressing the option key which will allow you to select the new iPhoto library you have created. Then I suppose that when you start iMovie 9 it will automatically import only the photos/videos from the new library.

How do I stop Firefox from auto-focusing on text boxes?

How do I stop Firefox from auto-focusing on text boxes? Sometimes as a page is loading, I scroll down the page...only to have the page jump back to where there is a text box, with a blinking cursor, after the page is finished loading. It is an annoying feature and I want to turn it off.

Some pages use an onload event to set the focus to a text area or search field.
You can try NoScript to see if that blocks it.

How can i stop iTunes from Auto rating my songs??

How can i stop iTunes from auto rating my songs in my library?? I have my library very organized and 90% of the time when i listen to music i play "My Top Rated" Playlist on shuffle. The only time i give stars ratings to my songs is for my favourite songs which i give 5 star and every other song is just left with no stars. For some reason iTunes is giving songs i have never played or i dont like 5 Stars and rewining my playlists. I have tried erasing all the stars from my entire library and since doing this a week ago, again (for the 4th time in a year) having a library with not 1 song with any star ratings, all of a sudden i now have 329 random songs with 5 stars again??????
This is really getting to me as i love my music and love iTunes and everything apple but seriously there has to be away to stop this so i can have my old playlists back!
Thanks hope some one can help

One reason itunes will start "at regular intervals" will be if you have an iphone that has sync via wifi enabled. I had the problem following an upgrade to iOS 5.

A bug in Fire Fox's update that is conflicting with PLESK site builder

I asked AISO.net support for help because when I opened the PLESK Site-builder to edit my website, all I saw was HTML code instead of the WYSIWYG editor. They replied: Try using Internet Explorer as the site builder is optimized for that browser. It appears there is a bug in Fire Fox's update that is conflicting with the site builder program.
Until fire fox addresses this issue you will need to use another browser.
I want to use FIREFOX! Thanks, Janet

Yes, there is a solution for this, made by Apple. Unfortunately nobody here is allowed to tell you what that is. Rules.
But you can find the solution here:

In iPhoto how do I stop files from auto resizing as they import? I don't want my files reduced to 72. The option to choose size on the export menu not suitable for up sizing, as you can't restore the quality removed?

in iPhoto how do I stop files from auto resizing as they import? I don't want my files reduced to 72. The option to choose size on the export menu not suitable for up sizing, as you can't restore the quality removed.

Short answer: They are not resizing, there is no quality lost. The dpi is only set when you decide what size you're printing at
Longer answer: Dpi means nothing in the digital world of your computer. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
Using that example, that shot from that camera has 12 million pixels. So that's how many "Dots" there are. To decide the ratio of dots per inch, you now need to decide the "inches" part. And that's printing. Print at 10 x 8 and the dpi will be 4,000/10 or about 400 dpi. At 6 x 4 then it's 4,000/6 or 660 dpi. Work the other way: Print at 300 dpi and the resulting image will be about 13 inches on the longer side.
So, your photo as a fixed number of pixels. Changing the dimensions of the print will vary the dpi, changing the dpi will vary the dimensions of the print.

I seem to have forgotten how to set up AIRHelp to auto-update...

I seem to have forgotten how to set up AIRHelp to auto-update. Silly me!
Here's what I'm doing:
1.) In the "General" settings of the AIRHelp SSL wizard, I browse to the directory in which I want my updates to be found for customers. This is the same directory on the Web server in which I plan to have the "update XML" file also reside.
2.) In the "View settings, I enable the "Enable Auto Update" option. Since I am trying to update from a Web server, I have selected the "http" option (not the "File" option), then paste in the direct URL to my Web server that I intend to generate my updated AIRHelp installer. At the end of that URL path, I type the name of an XML file.
3.) I generate a 1.0 iteration of my AIRHelp. Once it has completed, I copy it from the updated directory, then paste it onto the Desktop of a remote computer. I install this iteration.
4.) I generate a 2.0 iteration of my AIRHelp file (and ensure not to touch any other settings). Once it has completed, I verify that it is is a newer .AIR file by the file date/time as specified by Windows Explorer.
5.) I launch my 1.0 iteration of my AIRHelp document, but it does not auto-detect the updated .AIR file. However, I do have my settings correct that the 1.0 AIRHelp document is viewing the "online iteration."
So, what am I doing wrong?
As always, thank you very much in advance for your assistance!
Most sincerely,
Sammy Spencer

Hey, Peter and Praful. Thank you both for your replies.
Peter, I have indeed read your content on using this function. You have a great Web site, and I'm still digesting lots of it! But I have thoroughly read and reread all your content on AIRHelp. I'm afraid despite following your instructions, I am still running into this problem.
Praful, that was a good suggestion to connect to the updating XML file to ensure the remote computer can see that directory (and XML file). Indeed, I can read that XML file in a Web browser from the remote computer in which the older AIRHelp is installed. I have also gone into the Preferences and tried to check for updates immediately; the AIRHelp file informs me that there are no updates available.
I was curious: After the AIRHelp file is installed, I see that there is a .helpcfg file which tells the AIRHelp where to find offline and online iterations of itself. Isn't there supposed to be another .helpcfg file which points to the directory/Web server in which the updating XML file is to be found? If so, that .helpcfg file doesn't seem to get installed.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
As always, I really appreciate all your assistance!
Most sincerely,
Sammy Spencer

How do I stop the annoying silverlight update notices?

hello, enter "about:config" into the location-bar of the browser, confirm the info dialog, then search for the preference named "plugins.hide_infobar_for_outdated_plugin" & double-click it in order to toggle it to "true".
please note that firefox also won't support the ppc architecture any longer, however if you want to use an up-to-date browser based on firefox you can switch to "tenfourfox" , the downside would be: it doesn't support plugins at all - [[Firefox no longer works with Mac OS X 10.4 or PowerPC processors]]
