How to stop unwanted installations

Hello,
I am with lollipop. Just was notified that an app was installed, but i have never wanted or downloaded this app. Its from a local TV provider. How can i restrict future unwanted installations?

If the above suggestions aren't working then perhaps your phone it's network branded/locked to a carrier and your carrier is pushing that app. If not, then someone else has access to your gmail account which will have access to the playstore and will be able to install apps.

How to stop the installer and make a USB version of OSX Mountain Lion

Hi - I have had some serious problems with Mountain Lion and support from Apple has demanded reinstallation of OSX. With my rather slow BT Connect broadband sometimes the download takes 6-7 hours!!! Sometimes it stop as I understand BT Connect limits downloads. While I find a new ISP, can anyone advise me how to make an installable version of Mountain Lion from a USB stick . I have tried downloading the installer but it then immediately begins to install ISX ML and the disappears from my Downloads Directory. After 6 hours wait I am back to square one.
All and any help most gratefully received. My machine is a 13" 2012 Macbook Air with 128GB SSD and 4GB RAM.

It's easy. First, you have to download OS X Mountain Lion, so open the App Store > Purchases, and download OS X Mountain Lion. Then, when the download finishes, the installer will appear, so close it and it will stay in Applications folder. After reinstalling OS X, OS X deletes the installer, so it's important to do that.
Finally, you can use an application like Lion Diskmaker to create a Mountain Lion USB drive > http://liondiskmaker.com After creating the Mountain Lion USB drive, to start from the USB drive, hold the Option (Alt) key while your computer is starting and select your USB drive

How to stop Jinitiator installation for ebusiness suite application

Right now every time I try to log into ebusiness suite, I will be prompted to install Jinitiator for the first time and if I install I will not be prompted from next time onwards, My requirement is to stop prompting even for the firs time.
we are planning to go live with Employee self service and we do not want employees to be dealing with any installations since self service application does not need jinitiator.
which configuration file/profile I have to change?
we are on 11.5.10.2 apps version.IE 7.
Thanks

Thanks for all your time.
Hussein
     you made a good point , I should not stop this but in my case 95% self service users and 5% forms users , so we are going other direction until we figure out a way to stop Jinitiator installation launch based on what responsibilities a user have (self sevice or self service+ forms...).
I tryed to cancel the installation multiple times it comes back again and again.
Srini
     its custom SS resp. I have setup user who just have one self service resp. but still launches Jinitiator installation.
Prasanna
     no thats not how it is working, I have tested this (logged in as a user who just have custom self service responsibilities, still the Jinitiator installation starts up on log in and as I click on any link inside the responsibility).Even if I cancel first time it comes back again and again.
Thanks

How to stop unwanted photos from being imported to Lightroom Mobile Android

Hi, I am a subscriber to the Adobe Photo package (LR and PS).
I have started using LR mobile recently on my Android phone. I found that if I turn on Auto Import for a collection, it import more than just pictures taken by the camera. Any pictures that is added by, eg., WhatsApp, it will also be imported. Is this the intended way it works? How can I control what folders LR mobile will "watch" for imports? !

Thanks, Jim. Android operates a bit different from IOS. It has a camera folder, which contains all pictures taken by the Android camera app. If there are other apps that can take pictures, they will most likely appear in their respective app folders (depending on how the app behaves). And then there are other apps that does not take picture but will receive pictures, eg., the whatspp app. when someone send you pictures. The Whatsapp folder exists outside of the Camera folder (or picture roll, if you want to call it).
To me, the best way to handle this, is for the user to have control over which folder to sync, which not to. Eg., the Google+ Photo app, which sync pictures from the phone to Google+ (sort of like iCloud) lets you select which folder to sync. It will, very cleverly prompt you whenever it detects a new folder that contains photos (eg., after installing a 3rd party camera app or apps like Instagram that have its own folders to save photos related to them) and you can decide whether you want these new folders to be sync or not.
I hope to find out how LR mobile interact with Android because, apparently, it is not scanning the complete phone for pictures because, I found that there are temp folders that are used by email programs etc., that contains small gif/png/jpg files that do not appear in LR mobile. I wonder how LR mobile makes the decision.
Anyone having similar issues?

Webmaster: How to stop unwanted forum emails - Attn: Webmaster

Dear Webmaster,
I started a discussion on your adobe forum on Oct 4, 2010 5:53 PM titled Unable to open PDF file in browser using Reader 9 with IE8 in Adobe Reader at URL http://forums.adobe.com/thread/733688?tstart=0. Since then, I have received only two responses to the discussion which did not help and am receiving hundreds of emails a day from threads of other discussions that are annoying and clog up my email system as unwanted SPAM. I went to you service note cpsid_52111 titled Disabling email notifications from Adobe Forums and the information did not resemble/apply to the reference screens that I pulled up on my computer. I did check a block to notify me via email of any responses but did not realize that I would receive responses to all forum questions/discssions.
I want to either eliminate my account and/or disable emails being sent to my email address. My screen name in adobe is rudy2d44. Please help me on this request and I promise I will never use your forums again!
I have found no person in your entire Customer Support organization that could help me and I talked to three people with one referring me to this screen for help. You must have changed your screens after you wrote the CPSID_52211 and there is no way to disable your forum system from sending me the emails

Thank you for your help. So far, so good....no more annoying Adobe emails! It musta worked. The web site graphics helped tremendously. And thanks for the advice.

How do I stop unwanted contacts on facetime

how do I stop unwanted contact on facetime this party keeps sending me messages and I have asked them to stop but they wont.

The Mail app doesn't have a spam filter, any filtering that you want to do needs to be done before it reaches the iPad - if you log into your account via a browser, does your email provider have any settings/options that you can enable ?

How can I stop unwanted scam emails ex: someone wats to give me $2,500,000.00

How can I stop unwanted emails? Here is an example:
Good Day,
Although, I do not know you in person, I have received your contact via, personal search while seeking a reliable but obscure individual to assist me in this pending transaction. It became necessary for me to seek your assistance as i want you to assist me in investing my share of the money in your Country.
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr.Wong Cheng director of operations of the Bank Of Japan,United Kingdom . I have an Obscured business suggestion for you . In 2003, the subject matter; ref: bb/boj/bank/0012 came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our Private Banking Services Department. A client of ours informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 8.35 million United States Dollars, which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf and i was the officer assigned to his case.The favored route in my advice to customers is to start by assessing data on 6000 traditional stocks and bond managers and 2000 managers of alternative investments,this yielded funds in just 2 Years.
In mid 2005, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in Europe.I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited in a security consultancy firm,He told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from Norway later that week. This was the last communication we had, this transpired around 9th October, 2005.
I made futile efforts to locate him I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of the bank of japan.Four days later, information started to trickle in, apparently he was dead. In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine who should have right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the past months been unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and used our private investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem.
What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but I want you to understand something,there is US$ 8,370,000.00 deposited , I alone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so,i alone know of the existence of this deposit for as far as BOJ is concerned.
My proposal; I am prepared to place you in a position to give instruction for the release of the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation.Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50.
I am aware of the consequences of this proposal.I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail.I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience,this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move.
If you find yourself able to work with me, Contact me only through this email address (XXXXX),Please observe this instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a family man; I have a wife and children.I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences,but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold.
I await your response,here is my Email again (XXXX)

Unfortunately, spam is a disadvantage to having an email address and there isn't much you can do to stop receiving them. However, you can filter these messages using a spam filter. Check with your email provider to see what options they offer to deal with spam. If you are using apple mail, turn on the junk mail filter in the settings (Mail, preferences).

How to stop Time Machine from backing up Temp Files?

Hi folks!
I am trying to find out how to stop Time Machine from constantly backing up 'useless' temporary files accumulated from web browsing? Although I don't change or add large files to my HD, Time Machine backs up hundreds of MBs every hour. Those file amounts make sense when I consider that I browse a lot to YouTube, SoundCloud, etc to watch videos or listen to music - I just don't want them to be backed up.
Under Time Machine Options I already excluded the following items from backups:
~/Library/Caches
/Library/Caches
~/Downloads
But even though I did this weeks ago, Time Machine stills finds large files to be backed up every hour and my only guess is that I am still missing a location where either Safari or Firefox - the two web browsers I use - store temporary files.
Can you help?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Are you sure you need that? There are no viruses that run on OSX. None. Zip. Zero.
If you're running Windoze on your Mac, that's the same as running it on a PC, so it needs all the same anti-everything stuff you'd use on a PC.
There is some "malware," such as Trojans, for Macs, though. But (unlike viruses that can get onto your system without your knowledge), you must approve their installation (via your Admin password) and/or operation (via the "This application was downloaded from the internet ..." prompt).
Appropriately enough, some of these Trojans are included in pirated versions of Apple software, such as iWork!
For the gory details, see Thomas Reed's [Mac Virus Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/macvirus].
Thanks a lot again!
You're quite welcome, and thanks for posting back.
