How not to be prompted to install products that I don't use

I use icloud for apple, but I don't want to use it for Windows.  During my last update, it kept asking me to install icloud for Windows.  I don't want to be asked because I may accidentally install it.  Thus, I would like an option to notify me, but allow me to reject all updates that are not real updates - I don't use icloud for windows.  It almost seems fraudulent that Apple will try to install an "update" for something that I don't have.
Thanks!

I think I know what you are asking. You want to change all the Apple ID passwords you have for your apps  to a common password for the purpose of updating them? If that's correct, I refer you to: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787.
This page has useful Apple links on dealing with Apple IDs for iTunes and the AppStore. These two essentially use the same credentials.
Last year my AppleID was hosed and I went to that page and sorted it out.
Good Hunting.

  • How can I cancel an existing Apple ID that I don't use and need anymore?

    As it is impossible to merge Apple ID's I would like to cancel the one that I don't use and need anymore. But even when I sign into my account there is no hint or else to just erase or cancel the whole thing. Any ideas? Thankx a lot!

    Thank you! I thought I've missed something somewhere between the lines...

  • How do I uninstall anything running in background that I don't need?

    I am having problems (iMac OSX 10.6.8) with my searches being intercepted.
    Could this be caused by applications running in the background?
    If so, how do I uninstall anything running in background that I don't need?

    But whatever I search on Google, within moments my email box is crammed with spam on a related topic.
    If that's true, then it would seem you have put your email addrress out on the Internet somewhere.
    At the same time, it's possible that you have inadvertently got some malware on your system and that it is what is intercepting your web searching and then sending you email on that or related topics. I'm not suggestng this is likely, only that it's a possibility, however small.
    Who is your Internet provider? Some of them actively intercept searches and foist ads on you, especially when you try to go to a web site that doesn't exist or one that isn't cached in their DNS servers.

    My tab default is1.25 which is too big for the A5 document I'm working on, how do I change the default tab so that I don't have to reset each individual line?

    Hi Hannah,
    Inspector > Text > Tabs Button > Tab Settings > Default Tabs.
    To set a tab stop on the go, click in the ruler.
    If you can't see the ruler, Menu > View > Show Rulers.
    To set tab stops for lines (paragraphs) you have already typed, select those paragraphs and set them all at once.
    Also, have a look at Menu > Pages > Preferences > Rulers.
    Regards,
    Ian.

    Put them back the same you did originally.  Connect your iPad to your computer via USB and re-sync the music you want back to your iPad using iTunes.

    I have an old apple id that I don't use (and I don't remember the password) and it now won't let me log in for updates, how can I delete it

    Click here and try resetting that account’s password.
    That Apple ID is stored inside each of those applications. If you can’t get back into it, you’ll need to delete and redownload all of them, which may require repurchasing paid ones.

  • How to bring a prompt to User sitting on a laptop/desktop using Power shell command/script before machine gets rebooted.

    Hi Experts,
    I am a novice in Powershell and trying to learn PowerShell.
    Currently, i need to reboot some 50-60 desktops remotely.
    i am using the below powershell command
    gc c:\Temp\machineList.txt |%{Restart-computer -computername $_ -force}
    It is working perfect for me but what i want is before machine gets rebooted User should get a prompt like "Your machine will be rebooted in 60 seconds, Please save your work".
    How i can achieve this in a powershell script.
    Thanks in advance.

    an other option is to start taskmanager on Domain Controller
    go to users right click user Object send message
    regards Thomas Paetzold visit my blog on: http://sus42.wordpress.com
    "taskmanager"?
    That only works for users logged into the dc. Users should not be allowed to log into the DC directly.
    I suspect you mean to use the MSG facility if it is not disabled.  MSG /?.  This can send messages to uses on various systems.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • How do i unistall and re install lightroom? my windows 8 used to run it but now isn't i want to try uninstalling and re installing

    My windows 8 pc used to operate lightroom fine as well as PE12 but now won't do either. We fixed the error on the computer or at least we think we have and I want to try to uninstall and re install the programs and see if that fixes our issues.... but I cant find where/how to re download my already purchased product.....

    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=113&platform=Windows
    The link above will get you to the site to download the Lightroom package. You will need your license key to activate.
    You can uninstall Lightroom using the Win procedures in the Control Panel. You need to deactivate PE12 from the help menu of the product before you uninstall. You will also need the license key to activate when you have done the installation. Download link below.
