Is there a way to prevent iTunes from updating apps?

I have recently updated an app that I love to play but the update caused me to lose all my saved data and it's very buggy and crashes all the time. I managed to rescue the old version from the recycle bin and deleted the new version from iTunes and my iPod Touch before dragging the old version back into iTunes, but iTunes and the App Store wants to update that app. Does anybody know a way to tell iTunes and the App Store do not check for updates for a particular app?

I don't want iTunes to ask me at all to update that particular app. The new version will still lose all data in that app and I don't want to worry about accidentally clicking update all.

Is there a way to prevent Itunes from transfering a single album to Ipod?

Hello everybody,
I am trying to find an alternate way to prevent a cd from transfering from my Itunes library to Ipod, instead of turning off the auto-update and manually transfering my music.
any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

I believe that in the before the song title there is a little check box. I'm pretty sure that if you uncheck the box of all the songs in that cd than plug in you're ipod it should delete those songs but keep them on iTunes.
Hopefully that helped

Is there any way to prevent iTunes from making duplicates of all my tunes?

I've a repeating problem that iTunes duplicates my music files every time I open it. After it had made duplicates (and triplicates) of every tune, I blew away the library, went through my music folder and got rid of all the dupe files, and reimported it into iTunes. I haven't used iTunes since, but when I opened it today to start rebuilding my playlists, it is again making dupes of my files. When I open it, it says it is "Updating iTunes library...', and after it finishes there are more copies of files already there.
Any way to prevent this?

Yes the 2 main ways are with an ipod and external drive. Apple covers doing it with an ipod but you can follow the same steps, just skip afew http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173

Is there a way to prevent iTunes from deleting TV shows and leaving them in the cloud.

I understand the benefits of the cloud. I'm fully on board. I however have to travel often for work and I am often far away from the luxury of wifi. I understand why it does what it does (removing tv shows and movies I haven't seen a while). Is there a way to turn it off though?
Thank you so much!

Unless there is a new feature I'm not aware of iTunes does not arbitrarily delete any content from your computer without your explicit action.

You can avoid duplicates by only syncing with iCloud (Wi-Fi) or iTunes but not both.

I allow my grandchildren to play free games on my ipad that I download for them. Is there a way to prevent them from accidentally (or otherwise) purchasing upgrades? My 6 yr old just did so and has no idea how she did it. Can I block this access?

I don't want my Facebook Contacts added to my iphone Contacts as a result of this new update. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

I've been told that when I apply the latest update issued by APPLE, it will add all my Facebook Friends into my Contacts on my iPhone. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

Unfortunately when upgrading to iOS 6 the setting to add Facebook Contacts to your Contacts app is on by default. But once the upgrade is complete you can go to:
Settings > Facebook > and turn off Contacts.
That will get rid of the Facebook stuff showing up in your Contacts app.
BTW, I also turned off Calendar on my iPhone and iPad so that Facebook events and Friend's birthdays etc. will not show in my Calendar app.

Shot videos ONLY in landscape. For photos choose what's you like. Maybe you have to rotate photos on PC. What's your operating system?

Are you leaving the box unchecked to Manually manage music & videos? You don't need to to add anything to the iPhone.
Simply drag the playlist to the iPhone to manually add it.

Is there a way to prevent AnyConnect from caching the username of the last person who connected to the VPN?

Is there a way to prevent AnyConnect from caching the username of the last person who connected to the VPN?

This can be done via specifying the "RestrictPreferenceCaching" parameter as described in the Anyconnect Admin Guide here:
By design, AnyConnect does not cache sensitive information to disk. Enabling this parameter extends this policy to any type of user information stored in the AnyConnect preferences.
•Credentials—The user name and second user name are not cached.
•Thumbprints—The client and server certificate thumbprints are not cached.
•CredentialsAndThumbprints—Certificate thumbprints and user names are not cached.
•All—No automatic preferences are cached.
•false—All preferences are written to disk (default—behavior consistent with AnyConnect 2.3 and earlier).
