How do I stop the notices for a download I DO NOT WANT???

Last time I downloaded an update, my computer wouldn't work properly and crashed numerous times. I have a better-than-average anti-virus program and I don't want your update and I'm tired of seeing the notice for it pop up! I can always go back to IE if you don't want my patronage.

There are some add-ons that torment you with fake update messages that lead to malware or other problems. Please take a look on your add-ons page and disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized add-ons on these two tabs:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category<br>
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
To adjust Firefox's own update settings, check this article: [[Advanced settings for accessibility, browsing, system defaults, network, updates, and encryption]].

    Do you not want a backup of the iTunes content on your computer in the event the iPad is lost, stolen, or simply fails?

  • HT201238 How do i stop the monthly storage plan 20gb? I dont want it anymore. Please help

    HI.. Im using ip5 with the latest veraion update.. My problem is, i brought the 20gb storage plan which will cost me $0.99 montlhy. Now,i dont want it anymore. I dont want to use it anymore. How do i stop the plan? I did follow the instruction but it still cost me.. Help!

    When you cancel a plan the cancellation does not take effect until the next payment is due - so you won't get a refund for the unused portion of the month but you should not be charged the following month.
    If you have followed the instructions correctly and it's not yet a month from the previous payment you would do best to wait until the next payment date and see what happens. If that has already passed and you have been charged then you should contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click 'See all products and services', then ' 'iTunes', and then 'iTunes Store', then 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption'.

    How do I stop payment and cancel automatic renewal for an app I no longer want?

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

  • How can i stop the started process of downloading ios 8 on my ipad air?plz tell me i dont want to upgrade.

    i have apple ipad air 32gb ,ios 7.0.3 , by mistake i have started the process of update on ios 8 , how can i stop this ? plz tell me.

    The replies don't address the question: "I started getting bombarded with requests to upgrade to Firefox 5.0. This goes on all day, all night...it never stops. Is there a place I can ask you guys to please stop?"
    I have the same problem: I also don't want to upgrade to 5.0 (4.0 messed me up enough and I finally got that straightened out). How do I stop those annoying requests? It should have a "No" option.
    Please email replies to [email protected] Thanks.

  • How do I stop the iOS6 update from downloading

    I am perfectly happy with iOS 5.5.1 on the 3GS, I do not want to use the latest iOS but apparently Apple leaves me no choice, right now I have the phone off, but if I boot it up it picks up the download where it left off, about 1/3 completed. Can I stop this from iTunes if I hook it up to the Mac?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Oops... I mean 5.1.1.

  • How can I stop the mail app from downloading old messages and marking them as new.... repetedly

    I have just bought myself my first ever mac, and i've been having a little trouble with the mail function that comes with it. The first time i connected my mail app to my hotmail adress, all my old mails started coming in and they were all marked as unread. i had like 7000 og them, so it took a while for them all to load. after this i marked them all as read, and it was fine for a couple of days.
    I am not sure what makes all my e-mails load as "new" again and again, but it happens every so often. This is very annoying because i get a little notification at the top of my screen for every "new" e-mail.
    In the beginning i didn't think that much of it, but now it is really starting to annoy me, bacause it has happened so many times, so my question is:
    Have any of you experienced this? And how did you fix it?
    And i am running the OS X version 10.8.2, if that is relevant

    Is it an IMAP or POP account?
    For POP accounts, you can select remove from server under the advanced tab of the account.

  • So just how do you accept the terms for a download

    Every time I click the "I Accept" button it tells me that I have failed to accept.
    Does "yes" mean "no" and "no" mean "yes" or am I missing something?

    Nevermind, I figured it out. I modified the example to do what I was trying to do in my server, and it worked. I then rechecked my real server code and discovered a stupid mistake. I was passing the properties variable all the way down the line, but forgot to actually pass it to the ORB.init method.

  • How do I change default location for file downloads, as in not "C" drive

    Unsure where to make to changes so my downloads will go to another hard drive instead of the "C" drive under documents.

    Any idea where this default is set under this application?

  • How can I decouple the pagination for a global region?

    I was having a delightful time using a common region defined on a global page when I determined that pagination setting was begin carried from one page to the next.  Arghhhh!  So for example, if I have paged to the second set (page) of rows (11-20) on Page 1 and then I go to Page 2, the second set (page) of rows (11-20) is displayed there.   If I go to a page which only has a first set of rows (1-10), I get the pagination error "Invalid set of rows requested, the source data of the report has been modified. Reset Pagination".  And when I click to reset, it just repeats the error.  [I suppose it tries to display the second set or rows (11-20) again -- which doesn't exist.  What's that saying about insanity?]  
    How can I decouple the pagination for a global region? I want it to operarate just as it would if it were not sharing a common region.  So if I'm looking at rows (11-20) on page 1, I can go to any other page beginning with rows 1-10 there.  Then return to page 1 where I left off with rows 11-20 displayed.  One solution is NOT to paginate but that's not my preferred solution.

Reset Pagination".
    The fact that there are different numbers of rows returned on different pages implies that the reports have some local page dependencies, so why try to use a global component? What's the actual requirement? How many pages does the report have to appear on? (Please say it is a report and not a tabular form...)
    How can I decouple the pagination for a global region? I want it to operarate just as it would if it were not sharing a common region.
    The point is that a global region is just that: a single region that happens to be displayed on multiple pages. It does not create multiple instances of a region on different pages. (Specifically, a region has a single region ID, and this is used to reference it whether it appears on one page or all of them. The region ID is used by the report for the purposes of AJAX refresh, pagination etc.)
    A similar situation was discussed a long time ago. I'm rather surprised that Scott regarded it as a bug: the fact that it doesn't seem to have been "fixed" or have a bug number attached may indicate that the others on the APEX team disagreed with him? I haven't tried the workaround he suggested, however I don't think it's likely to be prove a useful line of attack for your issue, as (1) it resets pagination rather than preserving it; and (2) it doesn't appear to be compatible with the AJAX PPR pagination used in more recent versions of APEX.
    I can't see any straightforward "solution" (largely because I don't think there's really a problem: the exhibited behaviour is exactly how I expect/want global regions to behave). Pagination processing is undocumented. The current 4.2 apex.widget.report.paginate JS method is specifically annotated as "for internal use only". Search the forum for custom pagination techniques. Messy looking hacks for IRs have previously been suggested.
    So if I'm looking at rows (11-20) on page 1, I can go to any other page beginning with rows 1-10 there.  Then return to page 1 where I left off with rows 11-20 displayed.  One solution is NOT to paginate but that's not my preferred solution.
    Assuming that there aren't too many pages involved, the other obvious option is to create unique regions on the required pages. You can achieve some level of reusability by creating SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query) reports based on an external function so that there's only a single SQL source to be maintained.
    Explain the requirement in more detail. Pagination is not the only option for reducing the quantity of displayed information. Often it's better to display some of all of the data, rather than all of some of it...

  • How do I stop the annoying silverlight update notices?

    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]]

  • How do I stop the message "user name or password for iCloud is incorrect" from popping up 2 times in a row when i try to get mail from other accounts? thank you in advance

    How do I stop the message "Cannot get mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect" from popping up 2-4 times consecutively every time I choose MAIL on my iPhone 4,  7.1.1  I have to select "OK" 2-4 times each time before I can read other email accounts.  I used to have an "@me.com" account which I think was automatically changed to an "@icloud.com account."  I opened a new iCloud.com account yesterday because I could not figure out how to get in the old ones.  I want to delete the original @me & original iCloud account.  When I try to delete the account, they tell me my DOB is wrong. I just want those pop ups to stop.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Suzanne,
    It sounds like you’re running into a password issue with an older Apple ID that’s setup on your iPhone, which is preventing you from removing an iCloud account from your device. Take a look at the article linked below, it outlines all of the possible ways to change an Apple ID password.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    After you enter your Apple ID, there are three ways you can change your password:
    Answer your security questions. Use these steps if you know the answers to your security questions.
    Use email authentication. We'll send you an email that you can use to change your password.
    Use two-step verification. If you set up two-step verification, you can use it to change your password. You just need your recovery key and a trusted device.
    So long,
    -Jason
