How to turn off the skype update notifications?

Anybody knows hot to stop the annoying skype update notifications?
There is no way I will do any upgrades, since skype has burned me in the past, so it would be nice to find out how to stop those...
Thanks

The Updater service does checks (and automatic updates) in the background. Disabling automatic updates in Tools -> Options stops this service, but does not disable it. You can disable the service via Start -> Run -> services.msc and finding the Skype Updater service.
You may also notice that everytime you start Skype there still remains a pop-up dialog box prompting you to install an update. This is because Skype had already downloaded a new version in the background and was waiting for you to install. This happened before you disabled the automatic updates and disabled the service.
To resolve go to Start -> Run -> c:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Temp and look for SkypeSetup.exe. Delete this file. Exit Skype and re-launch it to verify this fixed the upgrade notifications.
I am still using Skype 6.9 due to the recent addition of ads. This process helps make sure I don't get upgraded unintentionally.

I cannot turn off the system update notification for my G2? I have already tried turning it off in Settings (under Applications Manager). What else can I try? Thanks

Dear All,
I have tried turning off the system update notifications for my G2 and have not been successful so far. I have already tried turning it off via Settings/Application Manager/All. What else can I try here? Thanks.

Unfortunately that is not possible any longer. My advice is to take the update. You'll have to at some point or either you'll accidentally accept it. The HD voice and video works well between compatible phones. And, if you run into a problem, better now than later.

Is there any way to turn off the Skype update mess...

Hello, I am using the Skype 6.21 version on Windows 7, for now I do not want to update to the newer version (mostly due to not liking the interface).
My problem is every time I turn on Skype, the updater message pops up (sometimes several times, once on startup, once on login etc). I've been reading up on some solutions here however none have worked for me : / Anyone know how to get rid of this annoying message?
Here is what I've tried so far:
Disabling auto-updates in the program itself
Disabling Skype Updater in the Services
Putting skype.com and msn.com as blocked sites in the Firewall (all that this did was disable the home page feed o.O something I did not want)
Deleting the installer file from temp files

Zhuinden created a thread on how to downgrade, make it stick, and turn off the update messages. You can find it here:
http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/How-to-Update-or-revert-from-6-22-to-other-vers...
Of course, this should have been an option provided in the first place, but at least we have a workaround for now.

How to switch off the plugin update notification?

I am getting the ''"Some plugins used by this page are out of date"'' notification on every page with Flash.
The version of Adobe Flash that I am using right now is v.10 - I don't want to update to v.11 'cause v.10 shows much better performance on my PC.
How could I switch this notification off once and for all?

You can set the plugins.hide_infobar_for_outdated_plugin pref to true on the about:config page.

MiniDisplay to HDMI : How to turn off the Dual Monitor output when..

miniDisplay to HDMI : How to turn off the Dual Monitor output when the adapter is attached and the TV is off ? And will keeping the adapter connected even if it is not in use, cause damage to the adapter ?

I have my external monitor/tv setup of the left. If I leave the adapter attached with the TV off, I am still able to cross the border/boundry of my MBP screen ! As instead of detecting a TV, the MBP is detecting the adapter as a screen. I do not want to damage my thunderbolt/miniDisplay port by plugging and unpluggin the unit each and every time.
