How to stop iCloud from trying to install on my PC?

How can I stop the Apple Update Manager from trying to constantly install the iCloud control panel? I am never ever ever going to install this thing, and it is getting annoying seeing it pop up every other day to install something I have no desire to use.

See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2357.

How can I stop Mozilla from trying to install the updater everytime I open it?

I had issues where Firefox eats memory searching for updates. I disabled the Updater, now every time I open Firefox, it tries to reinstall it. so i open Fire fox, the computer asks me if I want to let the Mozilla Updater" make changes to my computer. I say no and then firefox opens. Is there anyway to keep "updater" from trying to install everytime I open firefox?

Do you mean the updating service that Firefox installs and that Windows runs in the background? You can turn that on and off with a checkbox in the Options dialog. See this article: [[Advanced settings for accessibility, browsing, system defaults, network, updates, and encryption]].

How to stop iCloud from signing back on

Because apps always crash when iCloud is on, I wanted to sign off iCloud. But there's a REAL problem.
iCloud keeps signing back in! Pages, SimpleText, Keynotes, et al won't load document windows at all with iCloud enabled but if I sign out, it signs out and I could open the app... but minutes later, iCloud just signs back and it gets to stop apps from opening!
Here's what I do.
Open System Preferences. Click on iCloud icon. Sign out. It will bring up dialogs asking me to delete or not. I delete them. I don't want iCloud because it's just not mature.. it makes too many mistakes in terms of user interface (which is a shock considering Apple should know better). It signs out and it shows two textboxes with Apple ID and Password as placeholders. If I leave it alone, I can open the apps and a blank document window (or theme chooser) appear.
Then I close the System Preference. I again open System Preferences and click on iCloud... it's BACK ON! I never signed in! And once again, apps won't open at all.
I've tried EVERYTHING without luck. I turned off iCloud account and it still doesn't do a thing.
How do I stop iCloud from signing in? And even better, is there a way to remove iCloud from Mac?

This does not work for me. It only hides the videos in the cloud I have not on my ipad air. The videos I already downloaded are still there, taking space. When I look at the TV shows in the itunes interface it does not even show that they are on my iPad. I tried adding them, syncing. Then it shows two copies (both run) of said videos. I delete the video and only the one added from itunes is deleted. The copy I downloaded and watched from iCloud is still there and not removable or deletable. I did not have this problem in iOS6. I could manually delete videos no mater what way I put them on the iPad within the itunes interface. This is a new iPad air that I setup as new, using the iCloud to populate the apps and settings, and then I added some stuff manually from cloud. It seems to be alot diffreent in how it operates though and I had this with my old ipad3 and iOS7 as well. Hiding the videos does not remove them...what do I do now?
Since it is a fresh, new ipad setup that took quite some time to get passwords and such setup or from cloud settings I hate to reset and start over, that is a pain.

How to stop DWCS3 from trying to

Hello,
How do I stop DWCS3 from initially trying to connect to the
internet when I start the program? I had a problem a week or so ago
whereby it hung every time I tried to run the program when not
connected to the net. It seemed to resolve itself accidentally by
running a Microsoft update. However, it's started to do it again.
I just need to stop it displaying the 'Connect Now' box if
possible. If I am connected to the net, it runs fine and opens
without a problem !
Cheers

Ordinarily, as soon as I click to open DWCS3, it starts and
as soon as it gets to the initial splashscreen stating the version
and build, it halts and a dialogue box opens asking if I want to
connect to the internet. Mostly, I just click 'NO' until I have
built the site or made changes. Only then do I connect. This is
especially relevant when travelling on trains etc where I can't
connect.
This has always happened since I started with Dreamweaver MX.
It was no hassle, I just clicked NO and only connected later when
required.
However, my problems have been that I don't even get as far
as the splash screen anymore - it just freezes at the initial green
screen with version number etc.
I've now had more trouble in that a licencing dialogue opens
saying it is no longer licenced and needs reinstalling. This is
probably my fault because I went into msconfig and switched off an
Adobe Licence Check (or something like that). I switched it off
thinking this might cure the ' connect now' splash screen I always
get. Now, even though I have re-enabled it, it doesn't work. And,
neither does Fireworks CS3.
I'm downloading the CS3 clean install thing from Adobe. Do I
have to uninstall Photoshop CS2 for this to run?
Cheers.

How to stop iCloud from sending invites to other member of shared calendar?

My fiance and I both have iPhones and each have a shared personal calendar. When I update my calendar, which is shared with her in read-only mode, she gets an invitation notice in her calendar to 'accept' my calendar item. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to prevent this from happening. It would be ideal if I could create a personal calendar item and it would not notify her when I did so. Of course, she could always go into the Calendar and look to see what's in it, but it's annoying that it notifys her every time I add something.
Is there a way to stop this from happening?
We each have an iPhone 4 running iOS6 if it matters.

I have tha same Problem.
I share my calender with my wife and obosolite. Allways when i change a entry in my calender my wife recive a ivation. Also on the Mac Book in ical.
All settings are on Off for sending any change.
the same was ones again wit me.com. the apple made a update and everithing was ok.

How to stop icloud from removing outlook calendar? very frustrated!

Two problems happen when icloud runs in win7 and outlook 2010:
(1) icloud remove all outlook calendar without syncronizing.
(2) icloud does not sent out new invitation events.
I am very frustrated because icloud is supposed to syncronize without changing anything in my outlook. I should say I really hated it because of frustration, and more importantly hours spent on trying to fix it without success.

More frustrated by icloud for the following problems:
(1) there is no safe way to get the calendar back to outlook after icloud removed it.
Backup
(2) icloud can not send invitation from the outlook even after I setup the icloud mail in the outlook because the icloud addin can not be loaded in outlook. Again, many users have this issue, yet unanswered by apple or microsoft for many years.
iCloud was released in Oct 2011, 1 year and 7 months ago.

How to stop iCloud from loading old emails?

How to stop iCloud from sending meeting requests

I have a situation where an iCloud Calendar has been set up with many meetings with attendees for a business (appointments for a hair salon). We created these "meetings" by dragging people from Contacts into Calendar, thinking this was a good way to have their contact info handy.
I don't want to send people updates or requests or invites or anything - it is confusing everyone and there are some 100 meetings that were set up and if I delete the attendee to just try to turn this into a "local" meeting for strictly my reference, they are getting a message that the meeting has been canceled.
Bah!
Is there a way to just stop sending these messages?
If I just delete the calendar that has all these meetings, will iCloud send out 100 emails telling everyone that those meetings are cancelled?
Thanks for any help here....

How to stop icloud from sharing files w multiple iphones

My husband and I both have iphones on a family plan. However everytime one of us downloads an app or itunes or change a contact in our phone, it changes the other phone as well. I tried turning off icloud in the phone but it still does it. It is extremely annoying, I would appreciate any help

we cannot then find each others's devices anymore.
Yes, you can. Just log in to the "Find my iPhone" app using the Apple ID for the device you want to find.
Why do you need to find each others devices though? Do you lose them often?
If you're actually using "Find my iPhone" as a way to keep track of each other, then you should be using the "Find my Friends" service and app on your devices.

How do I stop firefox from trying to resend every day an old email which I addressed to a bad email address?

Unknowingly I sent an email a couple of weeks ago to an outdated email address. I get an update from Mozilla every morning showing how many times it tried to resend that email the day before. But no instructions on how to stop it from trying to resend. Is there a way to stop the resending process? I already know the new correct email address.

Go to the Outbox and delete the mail.
The Outbox is under Local Folders.

How to stop Mac from asking to "upgrade" to Mavericks

I have a shared MacBook Pro that has to stay in Mountain Lion for certain software to work. Others in my family use this computer on different users.
How to stop Mavericks from asking to install itself? No matter how many times I control click on the Mavericks item in the app store, it keeps coming back and asking.
Recently, someone accidentally clicked on update and it downloaded the whole thing. Fortunately, they got off before it asked to restart. When I clicked "cancel" I went to the Applications folder and deleted the "Install OS X Mavericks" app.
Please help. I don't want to EVER again have any user on this Mac be persuaded to "upgrade" (which shadily does not say "upgrade to Mavericks).
Other users need to install apps, so suggesting I limit their administrative access will not help.

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, that didn't work. (and I forgot to list it in my original question). I had tried "Ignore" several times and all that happens is, literally nothing). The Mac ignores the CD and so does Virtual PC.
I've also tried going into Virtual PC preferences, looking for anything relating to CD's and can't find anything there. I've even tried sharing drives between the programs, copying things to the shared drive, and burning to CD on the Mac, but this particular issue can't be resolved that way.
The specific file I'm trying to burn with Virtual PC is a Midi File downloaded from Yamaha Musicsoft, to play on my player piano. Yamaha has a download program that "exports" files to floppy disk but it's not Mac compatible. So I'm using Virtual PC and attempting to export the file via the Yamaha downloader, either to a floppy disk image or a CD image, and neither is working as the downloader doesn't recognize the CD and won't recognize a virtual floppy either.

Hi iprover,
Let me first say that I am NO EXPERT with anything Apple and really have only started looking into this iCloud stuff a few hours ago because I'm trying to help my mom free up some space on her iCloud. But anyway, here's what I'm learning and what I THINK might be happening to you.
Also, if any Apple support people (do they browse the forums to dish out helpful hints?) or people who probably know infinitely more than me about this stuff, please do chime in and confirm / correct my statements!
This is what I gather.
iCloud for Windows is set up with a local folder (let's call it "C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream") where iCloud will store photos uploaded to the Photo Stream. This will allow you to view your Photo Stream photos on your PC.
This does not mean that this is a PC backup of your Photo Stream photos, but just a way to view your Photo Stream from your PC. That being said, the general Photo Stream rules apply: 1. No videos are on the photo-stream, and 2. Photos on the Photo Stream will be removed after ~30 days and/or after hitting the Photo Stream limit of 1000 photos.
My guess is that the iCloud Windows App will delete photos from the local folder that are older than ~30 days and/or delete all but the most recent 1000 items if the 1000-item limit is reached.
That is a scary thought! I really hope you did not lose all your pictures, but my guess is that the iCloud local folder is NOT meant for backup but instead is the iCloud Windows App's sandbox for updating and managing Photo Stream photos.
All that being said, I'd say it's important to back up your photos in a separate folder not related to the iCloud local folder.
