How do I turn the Updater off?

I just purchased Adobe's CS5.5 Design Premium (Student and Teacher Edition) for Mac. Upon installing Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver, an icon for Adobe's updater appeared in the Menu Bar just to the left of the Bluetooth and volumne icons.
This appears to indicate that the updater runs a check every so often in the background. I don't mind Adobe checking on the veracity of my programs (i.e. that it's a legal copy for which I paid), but my system noticeably slows down when it it running.
Two things I would like to resolve:
1 - How do I keep the updater from running in the background?
2 - Can I remove the Icon from the Menu Bar? (Admittedly not as important as #1, but I just don't like the look of it.)
Here are all the details of my machine:
MacBook Pro
OS: 10.5.8
Processor: 2.26 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Thank you for your help and advice.

I would like to go back to my original v3 that had NO issues!
PDF's worked, eMail worked, everything worked!
But since the glorious Win Vista then Win 7 things have changed for the worse. Even Apple now has Intel Inside...
I finally found the automatic update switch and turned it OFF!
Damn menus have changed in the 'NEW' FireFox; some better others worse. But as with the 'NEW' Micro$oft products changing the menu so you can no longer use the APP seems to be the 'NEW'!

  • I don't want Firefox 7 installed. How do I turn the updater off?

    I am a student at Highline Community College here in Washington. The online tool that I interface with for classes from the college is called Angel. Email on Angel does not work with Firefox 7. The IT department is working on a fix currently, but until they get that done I need to know how to turn off the automatic updater that wants to install version 7. I'll switch to the newer version when the fix is completed.

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • How do you turn the cloud OFF on an iPhone 4s?

    How do you turn the cloud OFF on an iPhone 4s? I don't use the cloud, but my phone keeps telling me there's not enough storage to back my phone up.

    iCloud is probably being used to store your Contacts so perhaps you really just want to turn off iCloud backups. Use the Settings app.
    Settings > iCloud > Turn off Backup
    After you turn off iCloud backup be sure to initiate some other backup strategy. Backing up to iTunes is a good alternative.

    When using the rectangle tool in CS5, a graph appears in the shape. How do I turn the graph off?
    Thanks!

    It might be the pixel grid if your zoomed in greater than something like 500% to 700%.
    Go under View>Show and uncheck Pixel Grid.
    Or maybe you have a layer style set in the tool options bar for shape layers.

  • How do I turn the flashlight off on my iPhone 5?

    How do I turn the flashlight off on my iPhone 5?

    It’s quite easy to enable or disable flashlight on your iPhone, all you need to do is swipe up from the bottom to access the Control Center, and tap on the Flashlight icon.
    There is a much easier way to turn it off from the lock screen, without accessing the Control Center. Simply tap or slide up on the camera icon at the bottom right corner of the screen to turn it off. It’s a much faster way to turn it off. Since iPhone’s Camera needs to accesses LED flash, it automatically turns off the flashlight feature.  Even when the iPhone is unlocked, I find it easier to press the Sleep/Wake button and tap on the camera icon to turn it off.
