HT1444 how do I turn on automatic updates in yosemite ?

I have recently upgraded to Yosemite but I am unsure where/how you turn on 'Automatic Updates"? Any comment would be welcome please.

Updates are in Mac App Store rather than Software Updater now. You'll see a red badge on the Dock icon when there are updates available.

How do I turn off automatic updates in Adobe Reader 9.3.0?

I don't see any way to turn off automatic updates in this version.

You can use the menu option 'Edit => Preferences => Updater' to adjust how updates are handled. If you have a corporate install, you might not have this option available and then you would need to talk to your System Administrator. If you turn it off, then you will need to manually check for updates since there are always updates to Acrobat/Reader that are needed to block new security threats.

I don't know why you're asking this question but if it's applicable heed the warning about backing up your music. Otherwise you run the very real risk of losing your music.
And that's not a good thing.

How do I turn off automatic updating for iPod on iTunes?

I am about to buy the new iPod and I just recently downloaded iTunes 6 so I can actually have music on it when I buy it. Now I know it's possible, but I'm not sure how to turn off the automatic updates for the iPod. See I just want the songs on my computer long enough to put them on my iPod and then I plan to take them off. Any help would be appreciated.

How can I turn off upgrade/update to Yosemite?

Having tried the Yosemite Beta, I've decided to stay with Mavericks for a while. How can I turn off the notification / blandishment / request asking me to upgrade / update to Yosemite so I don't inadvertently wipe out the hours & hours of effort it's taken me to revert to Mavericks on my MacBook Pro?
I'm not opposed to going to Yosemite, but I need to be able to afford to upgrade from 2Gb RAM in this old MacBook Pro before it will make any sense.

In your Adobe Application Manager you have something like this:
Remove the tick marks (I believe you guys call it check marks) against the product for which you don't need updates. See the red boxed item. Also make sure the right side has the two ticks as shown because that is always required.

How do I turn off automatic downloads in Yosemite 10.10?

Since upgrading to Yosemite 10.10, the App Store is automatically downloading updates. This creates an issue as my internet access is through Hughes Net satellite. I have a daily download allowance. The updates often quickly suck up my entire allowance causing me additional charges for an additional allowance. I need to shut off automatic downloads/updates and can't find where to do this. Please help.

Go to system preferences>app store. Uncheck "automatically check for updates."

Turning off automatic update checks

How do you turn off automatic update checks?
Not only do these pop up on their own even though I have all the 'update' options in iTunes set to manual, but when they do pop up, they do so in a top priority fashion, kicking me out of whatever else I might be doing.
Why can't such updates be done solely when I am going into iTunes?
Thanks

Welcome to AD!
It might not be the updater from iTunes. When you install iTunes, you also get a little program called Apple Software Updater.
You can uninstall that from Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs. You will still be able to go into iTunes and check for updates with it gone.

Hi,
I am using German OS therefore maybe the items are called differently in English:
1) Go into the main menu
2) Select "Alerts"
3) select the Profile you like to adjust
4) Select App Alerts
5) Select Email
6) You sould see your 3 mail accounts listed
7) Select the one you like to "mute" and you can set everything (sound, LED, vibration etc. individually for this acount)
Hope it helps

If firefox automatically updates my computer past 3.6 I'm inundated with Script Freezes..how do I stop new automatic updates?

Everytime I'm automatically updated past 3.6 my computer is inundated with Script Freezes..especially on the email page of gmail.
This has happened many many times. As far as I can determine these Script Freezes (Says: A script is attempting to write on this page.."Continue"..Stop Script etc) are coming from Internet Explorer (I'm not sure of this) and it's tricky to delete any elements of Internet Explorer. But at any rate my computer freezes up until the Script problem is settled..I check the don't ask me again block..but it does no good.
My real question is: Since things work fine in 3.6...how can I avoid any automatic updates?
Also, why isn't there a Timer Window (or a timer bar)for Firefox?...sometimes I have to wait 5 minutes for it to load! If there was a timer at least I'd know that something is happening and I'd be willing to wait. When it does take forever to load..it seems to help if I delete all Prefetch and temporary files.
Is there a safe way of turning off Internet Explorer temporarily?
Thanks for your help

I tried this today, and it is working now:
Click Firefox > Options > Options > Advanced ... then Uncheck the option "Use hardware acceleration when available"

How to stop apple tv automatic updates

Hi,
How would it be possible to turn off automatic updates on an apple TV 3? I am working with several in a school enviroment connected to our projectors. And for security reasons they are put above the cieling so they are out of sight with cabling going through the trunking. So it's obviously a pain everytime an update prompt appears on screen making airplay useless until someone opens the cieling tiles (Due to the infrared not going through the tiles) to click update now.
Thanks.

@ David -- Even worse, it's not really an automatic update - that would actually fix the problem. It's an automatic prompt for update that can't be dismissed unless you have a remote.
@ Malignance -- That doesn't work either because the only way to connect your Remote App to the AppleTV is by authenticating with an AppleID, which is not feasible in a public space like a classroom or office.
I really wish Apple would provide an actual auto-update option so that I could just have my appletv update itself in the middle of the night instead of blocking me right at the moment I need to use the device.

How do I turn off automatic sync?

I recently accidently deleted most of my itunes music library. Previously I had itunes set to automatic sync. All my music is on my ipod classic and I want to keep it. I am worried that if I connect my ipod to the PC it will automatically sync and will delete most of the music on my ipod. How do I turn off automatic sync and set it to manual sync? Is there a way of changing the settings without connecting the ipod? Would it be of any help if I had access to another ipod and could I use this to change settings. I would be very grateful for any help.
Padraig

To prevent auto sync, connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

Installed itunes on another computer and need to turn off automatic update

I have itunes on my desktop at home and it is set to manually update my songs on my ipod (I have more songs on my 80GB ipod video than on my desktop). I am now traveling with a laptop and just installed itunes on my laptop. itunes won't let you turn off the automatic update setting until you plug your ipod into your computer. I am afraid to plug my laptop into my computer because it will automatically update the music (wipe out all my music on my ipod). Can I somehow turn off automatic update (switch to manual) before I plug my ipod into my laptop? Also, I know there is software that allows you to move the music from the ipod to the laptop, but I don't want to move all that music to the laptop. I want to continue updating my ipod manually on my laptop. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If you set the iPod to be manually managed on one computer, that setting will follow the iPod to any other computer you connect it to. However, even if you don't have the iPod set that way, when you connect the iPod to a foreign library, you'll receive an message in iTunes when it recognizes the iPod that the iPod is synced with another library, and you can click 'Cancel' and still get to the iPod's Summary page to put it into manual mode, without it changing any content on the iPod. If it makes you feel better, you can also click Edit and go to Preferences, click the Syncing tab, and select the option to "Disable automatic syncing for iPods & iPhones" prior to connecting your iPod.
Hope this is helpful

How do I turn off automatic sing in Skype?

How do I turn off automatic sing in Skype?
i work with Windows,Mac& ipad..

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
On Skype for desktop (Windows, Mac) just use "Sign out" from the "Skype" menu once. This will take you back to the Skype sign in screen. Next time you sign in from there just make sure you have the "Sign me in when Skype starts" checkbox not checked.
On Skype for iPad:
Open the Skype app settings from the iOS settings menu. I think there should be an option to disable automatic sign in.
