How to prevent automatic download and install of Reader 8.1.2

Hi-
I have Adobe Reader 7.0.9 and I need to keep it as my default Adobe reader program and plug-in for some applications that I use.
Over the last week, Adobe reader 8.1.2 downloads automatically and installs itself in my business laptop (Win XP SP2) and replaces my 7.0.9 version.
Each time I uninstall the 8.1.2 and reinstall the 7.0.9. I ensure the option of automatic download and install is disabled in 7.0.9.
But it still happens I have for the xth time today the new 8.1.2 in my laptop.
Anybody knows what is going on ? And how can I solve this issue to keep my 7.0.9 version ?
Thanks.

That's *not* a good thing to hear.
After the download finishes, do NOT press the Install Now button. Try the following to remove the download from the device. Here's the procedure I came up with last time this happened with iOS 7...It may or may not work.

Afterwards if you succeed, block Apple's update server using the following method so it wont get pushed to the device again:
In your router's settings, set up a block (using Access Restrictions or similar in the router's web interface) to mesu.apple.com. This will prevent the devices from "phoning home" to Apple, checking for the update and getting the download pushed to it again.
Or follow the instructions at this link:

How do I prevent automatic downloading of .pdf files?

Hi:
I've noticed previous queries (from 2008 and 2009) asking how to prevent Safari or perhaps Adobe Reader from automatically downloading .pdf files when they open them.
I haven't had this problem recently until today. Previously, I would click a link and the .pdf file would open in a separate window. If I wanted to download the file I would have to select the download icon from the pop-up icons at the bottom of the page.
Today when I click a link to a .pdf file, the file automatically downloads to my Download folder. Adobe Reader is opening the file. In its Internet Preferences, I deselected "Display PDF in browser using. . ." and "Allow speculative downloading. . ." to no effect.
How can I get automatic downloading to stop?
I also selected a .pdf file, pressed Command-I, and in the Open With section of the pane, tried changing from Adobe Reader to Preview and then Safari to get the automatic downloading to stop, but neither choice produced the desired effect.

pjmetz: You say "tried changing from Adobe Reader to Preview and then Safari to get the automatic downloading to stop, but neither choice produced the desired effect." What effect did these changes produce? I am sure they didn't leave things as they were, did they? If they did, and Adobe Reader is strong-arming its way to causing all PDF files to download, try removing Reader and give it a test with no Reader-assist. Oh, I'm not trying to get you to give up on Reader. You can copy Reader to an ext. HDD for safe-keeping, and then trash it from the internal HDD, and empty the trash. Then test Safari. If Safari works correctly without Reader, get your answer from Adobe.com
maxintaft: PDF files cannot be editied easily even on your HDD, mush less in a browser window. Whatever it is you are typing in (or have been typing in previously), it is not a PDF file, so your issue needs a new question, or contact the school site webmaster for help.

How to stop automatic downloads after launching itunes...

Itunes sucked 10 years ago, and it still does today....
Here is the solution to that nagging problem of Itunes automatically downloading an app, music, book, etc everytime you launch it, even after you uncheck the settings for automatic downloads, and even after you try to pause and/or delete the specific download:
1.) Complete any downloads that you actually want itunes to download.
2.) Delete any downloads that you do not want.
3.) Close Itunes or make sure that it is already closed.
4.) Open the folder on your harddrive (or SSD) that contains the Itunes Media folder location.*
5.) Inside of that folder, open the folder named "Downloads".
6.) Select everything inside that folder and delete it. Those items will either go to your recycling bin or (depending on your Windows settings) if the file sizes are too great, they will be deleted off the drive.
7.) Restart Itunes and nothing should start to download.
*If you do not know where that folder is located click Edit--->Preferences...--->Advanced. The exact location to the folder is listed in the box titled Itunes Media folder location. Feel free to change it. I changed mine to d:\itunes. My d: drive is my harddrive. I refuse to put on my main C: drive because my main C: drive is an SSD, and everytime you write on an SSD you reduce its life span. Also, SSD's are limited in space.

I would like to know how to purchase something and not have it download at the time of purchase.

How to Install CS2 Downloaded Upgrade on New Win7 Machine

Hi, I have a purchased and downloaded version of CS2 I want to install on my new Win7 computer. However I do not see an installer in the package.
How do I install this?

There is no setup.exe.
In the original downloaded upgrade to CS2 from CS1, there are live applications that can be launched. However, I'm afraid at this point I may have some value in the registry that will not allow me to continue. I have no idea why.
Like I said before, when I try to launch CS2, I get the error that my "user name, organization or serial number is invalid. The application cannot continue and must exit." I am not given an opportunity to input this information.
I have even installed this as recently as last year on a laptop from the same media with no problems, however I must have done something differently this time and it isn't working.
I'm afraid at this point I am either going to have to start from scratch and re-install Windows, or fork out for the upgrade to CS5, which I don't really need.
That is unless I can locate whatever registry file it is that needs to be modified... I am not trying to do anything nefarious, only trying to use the software I bought and paid for.

Prevent automatic downloading of podcasts and purchased episodes

I'm trying to help a Mac owner configure her iTunes so that it doesn't automatically try to download her podcasts and purchased TV episodes. We're running very tight on a bandwidth quota and would like to download these things manually if possible. I know how to do this in iTunes for Windows, but she can't seem to find the same settings in the Mac version. Thoughts or help?
Thanks all.
Scott

Hello, Arkaroola,
To better assist you with this, are the attachments Inline attachments (images in the body of the message) or attached documents?
Attached documents do not automatically download , but inline attachments can, you can stop images from automatically download by completing the following:
In the BlackBerry Hub, tap > Settings > Display and Actions.
Change Download Images Automatically.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks.

Jinitiator: prevent automatic download in Internet Explorer

Is there a way to stop IE from automatically downloading Jinitiator? I would like it to display the download page, the way <embed> does for mozilla/netscape.
thanks in advance,
Mark

Downloading it thru IE is not going to get you the correct version of Flash. IE uses a different version than other browsers use. Try this: 
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

How to prevent automatically opening of downloaded zip-files?

I have a problem to install an extension in Joomla. Joomla asks for a Zip-file. When I download the zip-file from the website, the zip-file is shown in Finder as a folder, i.e. an opened zip-file. Joomla does not see a folder, because it looks for a zip-file. I have a terrible solution, but I am sure others will know a better one. I used my old Windows computer, downloaded the zip-file that in Windows shows the extension .zip. Copy the file to Finder and now it shows in Finder the file as a zip-file. So, I suppose that my OS X (now Yosemite, but it happened already under Maverics) or my Safari changes a zip-file in an opened form. I could not find a way to change this to the state that Safari, Finder or OS X is not automatically opening zip-files.

Choose Preferences from the Safari menu, click on General, and uncheck the box to automatically open safe files.

How do I prevent automatic downloads?

Recently I went to a website and as soon as I landed on the site the download window opened it said it was downloading Adobe Acrobat but it wasn't - it was over in a blink, it started immediately to try to execute it, crashed but I assume this was because of a deliberate buffer overflow because it installed a virus on my system!
QUESTION: How do I force Firefox to ask me first BEFORE it attempts a download? I never want to see the download window appear without my initiating it.
Thanks in advance.

You answered your own question. I do it so I will have a digital copy of it when I want it before a code expires. That doesn't mean I want to download it right that second, I just want iTunes to register it as a purchase so I can download it when I'd like.
What's even worse. What if you watch the digital copy of the movie and then want to delete it to make space on your Hard Drive? iTunes will insist on you downloading that it.

How to *not* automatically download flash video

Hi,
I can't get my Flash video to *not* start downloading when I access my page.
The problem page is - http://www.camerawallihpictures.com/reel.php
There are six videos on this page. When I access it, all the videos start to download - the progress bar on all videos shows the downloading.
They don't start playing, they just download.
Does anyone know how to stop this?
Thanks in advance for you help!
Josh

Thanks for your interest.
Yes, the flvplayback compenent.
I created the flv file with adobe media encoder, then went through the standard File > Import > Import Video method.
I've set both the autoPlay parameter to false and set the HTML Publish Setting "Paused at Start" to false.
Note - Even though automatically *playing* is not really the problem, I've set both those to 'false'. Actually, the autoPlay functionality works properly for me whether true or false.
I'm using CS5.
Here's the html
