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?

How do I stop my iPod touch from backing up every time I connect

Hello all,
Every time I connect my ipod to my mac book it does a back up, which can take quite some time if I haven't connected it for a while. It has only been doing this since I upgraded to 2.0. Is it necessary? can I back it up manually? How do I stop it?
Thanx,
JBN

During the backup process, you should be able to click on the little X at the top of iTunes, where it shows the backup process progression. This will stop the backup. From there, your sync will continue.
However, without a good/recent backup, if you had to restore your iPod, you would lose all of the settings/notes/etc that had been changed or created since your last full backup. You will want to let the backup complete every so often to make sure that you have a good one on hand that you can use if you need it.

How do I prevent the dialog box from popping up every time I click Clear Private Data?

In v3.6 (and it looks like in v4.0 too), every time one clicks the Clear Private Data Now (using a toolbar button), a dialog box pops up to confirm that I indeed want to clear data and which data. Why?!!!
Why can this be set like it was in previous versions where a person sets which data they want cleared and be done with it? It's annoying. As such, I've used a v3.0.## since this annoying pop-up began in v3.5 or v3.6 or whenever it was.
And please don't ask, if I have it clear on close, why I want clear it during a browsing session. Just know that I do. And the fact that you have for a long time had the feature to clear during a session shows that you or someone thought it good to have this feature--not just when the browser closes.
I'd like to move to the current version, but this is so annoying. I'd move to Chrome, but for a few reasons, I'd prefer to stay with Firefox. For the love of gawd, can you please fix this?

How do you permanently disable Tool Pane from showing up every time you open a pdf document in Adobe Reader DC 2015?

Just like 9.9/10 people out here in the real world, I use Adobe Reader to read pdf files and never (ever) use the Tool Pane for anything.
How do I permanently disable it from showing up, instead of having to close it *each & every time* I open a pdf document? The majority of people don't want thins thing covering up the page they are trying to read.

Okay, seems I've stumbled upon an ugly workaround but it works for me. I'm using Windows 8.1. Go to the install directory, i.e." C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroApp\ENU". Create a new subfolder (I used "Disabled"). Move 3 files from the "ENU" folder into the new "Disabled" folder: AppCenter_R.aapp & Home.aapp & Viewer.aapp. Open a PDF and no more Tool Pane! I originally moved just the "Viewer" file but if you clicked on "Home" or "Tools" on the toolbar you couldn't go back to the "Document." Moving all 3 files takes care of that issue. Like a lot of people I don't and won't ever use any of the tools. I just want a reader. Let me know if this works for you.

How do I stop the alt button from showing the menu bar?

I use ALT as my push to talk button on multiple voip programs. When in firefox 6, pressing ALT makes the menu bar show up and disappear. I'd prefer to find a way to remove this shortcut from firefox. Changing the shorcut for push to talk on all of my voip programs and breaking a habit would be less desirable.

"Alt", I believe, is at the system level, utilized by other browsers and other applications for same purpose. Your VOIP might give you an option of Alt-Gr (Alt on right-hand side) or a choice of any other key. Right now either Alt key works in Firefox.

In the lower right hand corner of the screen, how do I stop the download window from poping up each time I download something?

In the lower right hand corner of my screen, everytime I download, a download window pops up, that scans what I downloaded for a virus then gives me a message that says download is complete. How do I disable that feature?.

To turn off the alert you can change a hidden preference.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete''' and double-click on it to change its value to '''false'''
# If you want to stop Firefox requesting a virus scan, double click on the preference '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' to change its value to '''false'''

How do I stop the blue outline from showing up when I select and drag text?

It is very annoying and I have been unable to Google an answer. Thanks!

Stef,
I don't think the user will ever have any control over that very minor and transient visual design feature of the app. You will have to get used to it. There are many more substantive complaints to be issued regarding the performance of this product.

How do i stop the automatic load of signal express every time i plug in an USB device?

This is the most invasive thing I have experienced with NI products. The only choice you get is to select a trial offer or pay for a license you can't X out.

what happens if you right-click on the NI Device Monitor in the notification area and click "clear all device associations"?

I have the 2nd Gen Apple TV and it is where I said. Have you updated yours to the latest firmware/software? I can't see why you are unable to find it otherwise. I will take pictures if you want me to.

If you don't have an icloud account, then icloud is not the thing that's popping up a window.
If you are being asked to enter a password when accessing itunes, then the problem may be that you have purchased items (apps, songs, etc) on the device that were purchased using a different itunes account than the one you currently have defined on your device.
Purchased items are forever associated with the itunes account (the apple ID) that was used to make the purchase. If you change the ID on the device, you won't be able to update any of them. You'll have to purchase them again.

How do i stop the keychain window from popping up it is really annoying?

How do I stop the keychain window from popping up, it is really annoying?

What is the specific message you are getting?
If it's asking for a password, then enter it and you should be good. If you don't know the password, then I would probably recommend reseting your keychain entirely. Your keychain keeps saved password for certain websites and programs but in my expereince the average user is not tremendously affected by reseting the keychain. It's just a matter at that point of reentering your passwords manually if you've gotten used to them populating automatically.
