HT4059 Can I turn off sample downloads in iBooks?

My young son likes to download the sample books in iBooks, but it is out of hand. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to turn that feature off.

At the moment no, it's not possible - you can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe in a future update it'll be possible : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Can I turn off automatic download of Itunes Extras

This has been asked before by someone else but they recieved no answers so I'll try again.
Can I turn off automatic download of Itunes Extras. I never use them and have to delete them and they hold up downloads of what I want?
Thanks

Thanks Michael. I had no idea that that menu was even there, and it seems odd that it's not accessible frome the regular menu bar (or is it??). But indeed, I do see it now and this may help. The reason I said this approach is still less than ideal is that it will require me to remember all of the accidental unflaggings between syncs to my computer, and then manually reflag everything.... and if I want to be sure to do it right I'll have to take notes etc, which is quite a burden just to get around something that used to work effortlessly and automatically until Apple "improved" it... But thanks!

How can I turn off the Download button in galleries?

I have a few galleries on my website but I don't want that Download tab there that appears automatically. How can I turn it off?
Thanks for your help!

Look :

Can't turn off Bluetooth

Just realized that I can't turn off Bluetooth on my iBook. If I go to the menu bar, the "Turn Bluetooth Off" item is dimmed. The "Turn Bluetooth Off" button in System Preference is also dimmed.
What's going on here? Can anyone help me out?

There are no bluetooth devices connected to this computer. As well, when I look in the Bluetooth preferences in System Preferences, it says that the Device Name is Unavailable.

HT1430 I downloaded the lateest update and I can't turn off my apps like I did on 6os. The 7os is different and I can't seem to find out if apps turn off now by just closing them. Can anyone explain this to me? Please

Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up
iOS 7 also allows apps to run while they aren't open.
You can manage these here:

How can I turn off the "Free Subscription is ending in X days" pop-up. I bought the subscription and downloaded it. I'm using the paid version. It all appears to be working accept for the silly pop-up.

How can I turn off the "Free Subscription is ending in X days pop-up. I bought my subscription but still receive the notice.

Hi Carl,
Is it the Acrobat trial that's ending? (Adobe doesn't offer free subscriptions that expire after a set time.)
If you're referring to the Acrobat trial, have you logged in with your Adobe ID and password? If not, click License this Software in the pop-up that states the trial is ending soon, and then log in with your credentials, and you should be set.
Please let us know if that is not the case.
Best,
Sara

How do I turn off the downloads window?

How do I turn off the downloads window? I recently upgraded FF, hated the new one, so downgraded back. When I upgraded I got the new downloads ribbon at the bottom of the screen and no longer had the downloads window. However, for whatever reason I decided to turn the window on. But when I downgraded I realized that this interferes with programs that I had previously set up to download directly to a certain program. Bottom line... I do NOT want the downloads window.

I know you can go to Tools, then Options, and click the Downloads tab and configure how you want it that way. Do you have the Download Manager Tweak as an add on?

How can I turn off the daily nagging about software updates?

How can I turn off the daily nagging about software updates?
I am _very_ annoyed at having to answer this every day, day after day after day.

Thanks, PJRS.
But if I'm reading that right, the only way to get the nagging to stop is to accept all the download that Software Downloads suggest.
Quite often it pertains only to software I never use. In these cases, I'm not interested in downloading it.
And also -- if I'm understanding that document -- I have to respond every time the nagging drops down (at least once per day).
99% of the time I have no desire to download the suggested software.
In ANY case, it is outrageous that the software resorts to harassing a customer without at least a readily visible means to turning it off
SO -- please let me know what I'm misunderstanding -- thanks..

Can't turn off shuffle (FIXED)

So like many of you, I could not get iTunes for windows 10.1 out of shuffle mode, so I upgraded to 10.2.1.1 and::::: same friggin problem and I don't have to tell you what a deal-breaker it is when you can't tell the program how to sequence the playing of your music! Apparently this has been a known problem since 2007, sheesh you would think the kind folks at apple software development would ensure functionality of basic features. Maybe Apple is tired of supporting PCs and want to drive use to GTKPOD or Songbird - I don't know, but before you PC users give up on iTunes forever try this, it worked for me and was relatively painless.
One disclaimer - My library was stored an external drive, I would be sure when you do this that you have secured your library!
Go into the control panel, programs and remove itunes from the machine
Reboot
Download the newest version of iTunes
Go do something else for 40 minutes
Come back and Viola! your new version should allow you to turn off (and back on and back off again) the shuffle function using the button in the lower left corner of the screen.
I didn't even have to re-create the media folder settings or import my library list. Apparently those reference files were not affected by removing iTunes from the machine.
My uneducated guess is that having shuffle turned on when updating iTunes is the root cause of the problem of not being able to turn off shuffle must be that the update is referencing the shuffle setting in an attempt to present the new program in the exact same state (shuffle turned on) as the old version, whereas a "clean" install does not; but I'm a chemist not a computer scientist. In any case, you can regain control of iTunes. Happy tuning.

I tried it...didn't work. My songs are all still permanently shuffled. I get so angry at Apple for this kind of thing. Do they test their **** software? I also just discovered dozens of CDs that I had thought imported correctly actually have file sizes of under 25KB, and iTunes shows their length as either "continuous" or three or four seconds. **** it, Apple, if you don't properly import a CD ***TELL ME ABOUT IT***...don't pretend that everything is hunky-dorey.
I should add...I have the songs stored on a HP MediaSmart (Windows Home) Server. When I access the library using the Windows version of iTunes, I have the problem. If I access it using the Mac version of iTunes, the shuffle works correctly (i.e. it can be turned off.)

Can't turn off "Announce the time."

I have a MacBook 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, with 2 GB memory, with 249.2 GB storage of which I've used only 45.69 GB .
I recently uploaded Mavericks (OSX 10.9.4), and now have two problems.
First: I can't turn off "Announce the time." I schedule my MacBook to automatically turn off at certain time and before that I will de-select "Announce the time" but it won't turn off. I've tried doing it multiple times. I've tried to backdoor it via Notifications and ultimately did a "Repair Disk Permissions and verified my disk hoping that would help — to no avail. The only way I can get it to work is if I completely shut down the computer and manually start up. A simple Restart won't do; the computer has to be completely shut down for the setting to work.
This seems to be a Mavericks problem. I've never had this problem before.
Second: When my computer turns on (either manually or automatically) I have it set so the iTunes opens automatically with it. The problem is that even though the screen has iTunes on it Finder is front of it like some kind of invisible film. This prevents me from operating iTunes remotely unless I go and manually click the screen to bring iTunes to the front. How can I get it so iTunes is automatically "in front" when my computer starts up in the morning?

Boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
Run Repair Drive and Repair Permissions using Disk Utility in Recovery.
Run Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs following steps described here **
Restart
Download and run the combo updater to refresh your OS X files.
OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo)
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1755
Open System Preferences > Users & Groups
Login Items.
Make sure iTunes is last in the list.
Set the other applications to hide by checking box.

Can't turn off motion control

Hello everyone,
First time on here. Just got a u410. Anyway I downloaded adobe reader. When I opened it I got a message that said motion control can be enabled for this application. So curiously, I turned it on. But now I don't know how to turn it off. Everyone time I open adobe reader, the camera automatically turns off. How can I turn off motion control?

Seriously?! There has to be a simple way to switch off the quite annoying Lenovo Motion Control...?
I have now been using it for a while, but in general iit is more of a nuissance - any movement in front of the screen when presenting makes the slideshow jump ahead or back.
If I click the little message in the top right corner announciing that motion control is activated (it says something like "click here to configure") absolutely nothing happens. If I click the Motion Control icon (on the Start page) the computer switches back to the last program used, no matter what it was, and then nothing else happens...
What is the right way to really switch this function on/off...???
Sorry, but my suggestion does not apply to your situation. I responded to the original post. I have not read your problem when I made the suggestion. You should know that. Maybe you should try openning a different thread, not bump the orginal one.

How can i turn off all this adds I've been getting?

how can i turn off all this adds I've been getting on safari/google.?

Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover the type of adware on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

My ipad is block with sign "waiting". I can't turn off or on my ipad. I dont kown what do

my ipad is block with sign "waiting". I can't turn off or on my ipad. I dont kown what do
thanks for your help

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
 Cheers, Tom
