I am an online professor using Blackboard 9.1. Bb only works with Firefox 3.6 so I need to prevent Firefox from automatically updating. How do I stop the harassing update popups?
I used to regularly update but I started experiencing problems with my online classes. Blackboard tech support said that your updates are not working so I had to uninstall and reinstall 3.6 and now everything works okay but I need to stop all the popups about updating.
I already have it set so it asks first but I do not want to be asked.
Thank you.
Thank you. Patrizia
You can install the portable Firefox 3.6.x version to access websites that do not work with Firefox 5+.

How do I disable itunes on my iphone 4s? I don't use the phone for music, and I need to prevent it from automaically playing music when I plug the phone into my vehicle. I have attempted to delete all music from the device (so there would be nothing to play), but 1 song remains in the iphone memory and I have been unable to delete that song.

iTunes app on the iPhone is for purchasing music.
The fact the iPhone starts playing when connected to your car stereo is a function of your car bluetooth system.
Consult your car dealer/bluetooth system manual.

Connect the iPhone to computer and select it in iTunes.
Click the Music tab and uncheck Sync music.
Then click Apply at lower right of iTunes. -
How can I stop the network connections popup?
In our house we have 4 macs...two of them are new and I set them up by restoring from TimeMachine rather than with the migration tool as I have done in the past. This was recommended to me as a "cleaner" way to set up new machines (at least on an alternating basis).
On these two new machines I get a popup "Do you the application "microsoft word.app" to accept incoming network connections (this is also for excel or any office product). I'm still using Office for Mac 2008.
The only way I can find to stop these annoying popups is to turn off the fire wall, which I do not want to do (and which I have not done on the 2 mac books and they work fine).
Is there some setting or script I can run to fix this?
thanks,
tomLinc-
I'm taking your advice because I've seen many other great answers from you...but not without some trepidation :-)
This is so weird ... I've set the mac books next to the iMacs and looked at every setting on them...all the same, yet one gets the popup and the other doesn't. I found that it doesn't matter whether I set the firewall to allow or not-allow, the popup is there in both cases.
Do you have any advice on airport settings that I should be changing the defaults to? (other than a good WPA2personal password which I have)?
thanks again,

Can I connect my iPad mini to a data projector using a lightning to 30-pin adapter connected to a 30-pin to VGA connector? Or will this only work with a lightning to VGA connector?
The lightning to 30 pin adapter does not support video as per the item description in the Apple online store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter
This adapter lets you connect devices with a Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories.* Supports analog audio output, USB audio, as well as syncing and charging. Video output not supported.
You will need to the Lightning to VGA adapter directly
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD825ZM/A/lightning-to-vga-adapter?fnode=3a
Or the Lightning Digital AV Adapter

How do I stop the Adobe Popup when printing?
I am constantly creating PDF files using Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0. I create from multiple programs: Office Word, Excel, Paint, Etc. as well as AutoCADD. I create them using Adobe as a printer, thus printing to PDF. Once the PDF has been created from the other program via printing to Adobe, the new PDF file pops up for viewing. I am ok with this; however I then click onto another program and after a few second the PDF pops up again. Even if I close it a few seconds later it pops up again. When I am printing multiple sheets out of a program I am jumping back and forth and the popup feature slows me up big-time or causes me to mess up the files I am working with.
How do I stop the Adobe Popup?That fixed the problem of the printing taking over the screen multiple times. I would like to have a solution where the finished file shows "PDF results" once, letting me know that the file has been created successfully, then let me get back to another program. Maybe this can be an upgrade with the next version.

I do not use and do not want an iCloud account and I keep getting requests to sign in....how do I stop the request?
If you bought the machine new yourself, and did not enter a password when configuring it, leave the field blank.
If you bought it used, then you need to reset the password, as described here:

Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac or any other Mac. My iCloud will only work with Mail.app. All the clients I tried work perfectly well as long as I sign in with somebody else's iCloud account. But mine won't work no matter the client (Postbox, Unibox, Airmail...) and no matter the computer.
I can access my account on iCloud.com, but I can't use email clients without getting error messages prompting me to check my password or login.
I was able to use those clients in the past but a couple of months ago I got logged out of Airmail and the issue started just like that!
I tried every possible mail server settings including the following:
IMAP information for the incoming mail server
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Port: 993
Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not [email protected])
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, [email protected], not emilyparker)
Password: Your iCloud passwordThose are the correct settings, and they work with any email client that supports Imap.
Try again. -
My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.
Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1) When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2) I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3) So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself. -

have reformatted my Imac using original discs (installed leopard (10.5)) tried to do the software update but it cant download the itunes update and when it gets to the configure update screen after restart for main update, it just gets stuck. HELP!
The configure bar gets about an 1/8 full and then just does nothing. I think its lists the update as combo update? cant remember with out checking.
I have tried to do the disk verify and repair but this has made no difference.
Please let me know what i need to do, I have reformatted the mac just to start over as was clogged with a lot of useless data, I had installed lion (10.7) from the app store previously and now cant seem to find a way to re install lion. I hope I dont need to pay for it again?If you erased your hard drive, you'll need to reinstll OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to access the App store. You won't have to pay for OS X 10.7 Lion again. Did you try booting to the recovery partition by holding the command and r keys down? If that's still there, you can reinstall OS X 10.7 from there.
If you're looking to install the current iTunes, you need OS X 10.6.8 at a minimum.
If you're still trying to update OS X 10.5 Leopard, you can download the combo update from here. Download, use Disk Utility to repair permissions, apply the update, then repair permissions again. That will take you to OS X 10.5.8. -
When trying to install an extension for InDesign CC 2014 I get an error message saying that the extension only works with version 7.0 or greater. My version is 10.0.0.7 x64 Build I was using this extension fine with InDesign CCError message with InDesign CC 2014
Used the 64bit version before CC 2014 as well so don't think that's the issue. Here is the text in the .mxi file if I have missed something:

I had an iphone 4s and it worked nice with facetime and imessage using my phone number but it was stolen on December so I buy a new iphone 4s using the same cellphone number but now imessage and facetime does not work with my number, it only works with my apple ID. Please Help me I speak Spanish so if my English is not ok I´m sorry about it.
Do you think that apple has to reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s??I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more. I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
Your points are true; however it doesn't help me......
