How do I stop some webpages in Safari from directing me to games in the iOS app store?

This really is the most annoying feature in iOS - I could not possibly give a care in the world about Candy Crush Saga, am finding it offensive to persistently be auto redirected to download it in the app store whenever I go to a webpage, even happened after accessing news.BBC.
Why did Apple remove the option to mark apps as offensive?! Loss in app sales profits? Like many others I paid a £709 fee for a premium product (iPhone 5s)....having done so I find this aggressive form of advertising in poor taste...
Does anyone know of a setting to stop it?
Thank you.

I trust Apple staff read these comments, fully aware end users are powerless with this. Either Apple is happily in on this bad user experience or it is some sort of command which is being exploited and can be fixed.

Where can I view charges made in the iOS App Store using my Apple ID? I am questioning some charges but want to see some kind of receipt or invoice for charges made in the App Store.

How do I stop my iPhone 5s safari from syncing with my iPad Air which is for company use only

I basically have been given an iPad Air for company use only so therefore cannot have anything from my personal iphone syncing with my ipad. Stupidly I signed in with the one Apple ID account. I've turned on private browsing and turned off my iCloud and I've also turned auto syncing off in iTunes. Will this do the trick? And if I turn it in again will my history be synced? Thanks.

Hi,
The answer is to delete everything off your iPad and set it up again as a new device with a new Apple ID.
If you go to Settings>iCloud and choose Delete Account, this will get rid of your Apple ID on the iPad.
Then you need to go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings.
Once that's done, set up the iPad as a new device, and create a new Apple ID when doing so.

How do I stop an advertisement for movies from playing every time I hit the browser button?

You need to figure out which app you downloaded that is doing that. I know there is a camera app that causes your browser to do that. It's most likely a free app. In the future becareful of the apps you download, if it asks for more access than it needs don't install it.
Go to your downloaded apps section in Marketplace and read the comments on all recent apps, there should be comments about it on the app that is causing this.
Edit: If you find out which one is doing it, make sure you uninstall it and use the marketplace to report it as malicious content. Make sure you do a battery pull reset after you uninstall it.

HT2515 How do I stop some one from contacting me?

How do I stop some from contacting me on ichat?

Hi,
In an AIM Buddy list.
Go to iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts and then the specific account > Security tab
In here select Block specific People and add the Screen name of the person you want to block.
If Jabber (Googletalk, Facebook or other) and if they are already in your Buddy List then Right click them to Remove them or use the Buddies Menu and De-Authorise them.
Basically AIM allows anyone to "call" your Screen name and only the Block or the restricted Allow options are the way to control who can contact you.
With Jabber they can Invite you to be a Buddy but if they are not Authorised (and then in the list) they cannot send you messages.

Go to Settings/ Store and under the category "Automatic Downloads" you can turn OFF the automatic download of purchases to your device (this needs to be done for each device). There's also a setting in iTunes just for automatic pushes to your iTunes library.
To remove a purchase you've made directly to your device, you can either:
a- Swipe across the song title from left to right and press Delete, or
b- If you auto-sync your device, connect to iTunes and click on the Music tab where you define your sync settings (the Music tab is to the right of the overall Summary page of your device). At the bottom of the Music tab you'll see direct purchases that are on your device -- simply un-check those and click "Apply" or "Sync" to remove them.
c- If you manually manage music on your device, connect to iTunes and click the small arrow to the left of your device name, and then click on the Music folder under your device. Then navigate to the item(s) you want to remove and then delete them.
To prevent things from syncing from your library to your device, there are many ways to do that (un-checking things in your library is one way, but not the best IMO). Might want to read the manual or some online tutorials on iTunes if you want to learn more.

HT1399 How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one?

How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one? Is it a bug from iTunes's version 11.0.5?
Since I dowloaded and installed iTunes' version 11.0.5 on my MacBook, it is behaving strangely:
- displaying an alert message asing if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one
- not playing tracks in the order they're displayed in my library, sometimes jumping from one playlist to the other
I did check my settings and preferences for playing tracks and tried changing some parameters in them, however it still doesn't help.
It seems to be a bug in iTunes' version 11.0.5 — if you had a similar experience and found how to solve this discomfort, thanks for contacting me.

Oui, je parle français. En fait, il semble qu'Apple ait résolu le problème auquel j'étais confronté car ce problème a disparu suite à la mise à jour logicielle d'après (désormais sous Mavericks).
(It seems Apple solved the problem I was facing since this problem disappeared after I updated my software to/under Mavericks).

How do I stop my wife's iPhone from importing her photos to my iPhoto account on my laptop?
I set it up to do this a couple years ago but I forgot exactly how I did it. Now I need to know how to stop it.
What version of iPhoto? v9.6

How are you importing photos? The photos (camera roll) from my wife's iPhone 5 syncs via wifi to my iPhoto account on the the laptop. This happens when she logs on to the laptop. We do not use the same Apple ID.
Like I said, I did this a couple years ago. I totally forgot how I did it and what method (iTunes settings?, Mac settings?, iPhone setting?) I utilized.
I was over at the forum which deals with iPhoto but they feel it is an iCloud issue.

Understood.

I have downloaded an app which I think is to large to my IPAD as it has read loading for hours now. How do I stop it and clear it from the pad. I have tried the normal holding down the icon but nothing happens?

I have downloaded an app which I think is to large as it has jammed. The icon just reads loading. How can I stop it and clear it from my pad????

Have you tried a reset to see if it resumes after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

You could create the new Apple ID for her and keep the existing one for you.
If you need/want to keep the same ID, perhaps this article will help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538

How do I stop my texts and pictures from going to other devices with same Apple ID

I share my Apple ID with my son on his Ipad and I phone. how do I stop my photos and messages from automatically going to his devices.

It should be iMessages which are going from device to device, you can turn this off in recipient device. The same sort of thing for Photos, however on your phone/ipad you can turn off 'Photo Stream" which will stop the sending to other devices. You can do this under Settings>Photos & Camera.
