I need to turn off the iTunes update prompt programmatically (during install)- How?

I am deploying iTunes ver 10.2.214 to Windows 7 X64 PCs. When the PCs launch iTunes they see a prompt, "A new version of iTunes is available. Would you like to download it now?"
I need to disable that prompt during the iTunes install. I have downloaded ORCA and set SCHEDULE_ASUW to zero as per the instructions on this website:
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#featuredarticles/FA_Deploying_iTunes/Int roduction/Introduction.html
I can open the iTunes64.msi and see that the property is set correctly (set to 0) but after I install using that .MSI it still prompts for the iTunes update.
How can I turn that off???
Thanks!
Elroy

Try:
iCloud: Erase your device
Also try:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Hi beckiewinter!
I have some information for you that may help you understand your iPhone's Activation Lock more thoroughly:
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
So in order to update your iPhone, you may need to turn off Find My iPhone. This can be done through the iCloud settings, and more information on those settings can be found right here:

I am returning to using firefox 4.?.....I will need to turn off the automatic software update so that it does not update back up to firefox 7 again.

Hi, I am back again with my tweaked brain. LOL I am trying to go back to Firefox 4, which I had so much less trouble with and liked a whole lot more. I am told that after installing the older version I need to turn off the automatic Firefox software update (if enabled)........I don't know where the automatic software update is located. Can you help me? Thank you for your help.......I will check back in a little while.......GOD bless you and all that you do for others.........loving you in Christ.......<3

You can try to clear the cache and cookies to see if that makes a difference:
<h3>Clearing Cache</h3>
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
<h3>Clearing Cookies</h3>
#Go to Firefox > Tools > Privacy > Remove Individual Cookies
#Find the site (ebay.com) that's having problems and clear all cookies.
#Restart Firefox
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

Turn off the iTunes and App Store links

How do you turn off the iTunes and App Store links? I need to do it show that storeagent will stop using so much of my cpu.

Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts
Select the "My Account" account, and select Login Items.
Remove iTunes helper.
When you are done troubleshooting use the Go menu to get iTunes helper back in the startup items to go to folder, and type this as the path to your folder:
/Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Resources
There you'll find the iTunes Helper, which you can drag and drop back into the Login Items.

Cannot get turn-by-turn directions via car bluetooth. Do I need to turn off the car radio? I have a 2012 Camry.

Is anyone else having this issue? I've tried Apple Maps and Google Maps. The audio directions do not come out of the car speakers or the phone itself. I have a iPhone 4S and a 2012 Camry. Do I need to turn off the car radio?

I can confirm that Google maps and Navigon give Turn by Turn instructions via Bluetooth in my iOS6 iPhone 5. Maps does not.
I assume this is an error and will be amazed if it's not fixed by release of iOS7 in the Autum.

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.
Regards,
Jeffrey Wong

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.

Turn off the iTunes-voice

Hi,
my son just installed iTunes.
It is working ok but we would like to turn off the annoying voice that is presenting the name of the band and the albumname - is that possible?
Many thanks
Andy
Message was edited by: Andycologne

iTunes has no such feature. If your system is speaking the name of the band and album, it's some other software that's doing it, possible a feature of Windows such as Narrator. You'll need to identify what is indeed speaking and turn that off.
Regards.

HT1349 I need to turn off the "find my phone" feature on my iPhone 5. The company I worked for took back their iPhone and now I cannot receive texts on my new LG F6 phone. Can I do this w/o the serial number?

I replaced my iPhone 5 with an LG F6 phone and now I cannot receive text messages from my friends with iPhones. Can somebody please tell me where to go to turn off the "Find your phone" feature and what ever else I need to turn off to accomplish this objective? Thank you.

Find My iPhone has nothing to do with receiving or not receiving text messages.
What you should have done is turn off iMessage prior to handing over the device.
Deactivating iMessage

Need to turn off the iCloud services

I no longer have the iPhone 4s. Now I cannot receive text messages from other iPhone users on my new cell phone. I need to turn off iMessage.

If you registed it with a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it. Also, you can try changing the password associated with the Apple ID you were using for iMessage.

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.

This article
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57400956-263/apple-issues-software-installe r-update/
explains what might be going on.
I noted that one of the updates in the list for my wife's iMac was an update to Software Update itself. Probably to fix this very problem. But it wasn't being applied due to Software Update itself not working.
I considered two solutions.
(1) Uncheck all the updates except that one update to Software Update. Then after fixing Software Update, apply all the other updates remaining. I did NOT try this approach.
(2) Download and install the "combo update" for 10.6 -- from here
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1399
I decided to try solution #2. It's a large download, 1 GB, but the whole process took less than 15 minutes. The "combo" update checks and reapplies every update since the beginning of 10.6, so if something is missing or amiss, it gets filled in. It's done manually, by downloading the update, opening the .dmg file, and running the update. When I did this, it fixed the Software Update issue because I then reran Software Update and additional, new updates were found and they all installed fine. Software Update was working as it should. I then ran it a third time and some additional ones were found, also then successfully applied. Finally, no new updates were found by Software Update, which mean everything is up to date.
I can't be sure if your issue is the same as mine (the bug in the CNET article above) but I'm guessing that the combo update will resolve your issue.

Macbook pro logs out of network when left idle and then I need to turn off the router and all computers in the house to reset the system.

I have a macbook pro running 10.6.8. Since I got it over a year ago it will disconnect from the network when left idle and then not be able to reconnect. All computers in the house have to be shut down and the router turned off in order to reconnect again.   My son just updated his macbook using my os disc and now his computer is doing the same thing. What can we do?

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Also
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
