Is there any way to get rid of the red "Update" badges for the iTunes store

app... without updating all your apps? I mean some apps get updates that are poorly reviewed or include advertisements, so I purposely don't update them. I know I'm not the only one who does this.
So you're telling me that as long as I have that (un-updated) app on iTunes, it will continue to alert me about an update THAT I DO NOT WANT???

That's correct...itune's app store will always prompt you to update. Hopefully Apple will change this policy!

    s there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows?
    You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes. You may get the following message: 
    iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
    You can click Yes to continue downloading additional episodes. Or you can just listen to any part of any episode and a new episode will download at the next update.

    I believe that feature was added in order to reduce wasted costs to the Podcaster.
    Podcasts incur costs - that have to be paid for, by someone. That cost will be the cost of hosting the Podcast on a server somewhere and more crucially (with regard to your point), the cost of the Podcast being downloaded to your computer. Every download costs the Podcaster money (typically, charged by bytes downloaded).
    If that Podcaster pays for the whole thing personally, obviously they want to keep down any unnecessary cost to themselves. If the Podcaster is earning money for his or her Podcast (typically from advertising within the programme) then obviously, the advertiser only wants to pay for advertisements heard by listeners. So a download, not heard by the downloader, is waste of the Podcaster's money or no payment from the advertiser.
    My own experience is that I only have to resume downloading once per programme. I'm usually several episodes behind on two different Podcasts that I follow, but I do not recall having to repeat the resume Podcast after that first time.

  • Is there any way to get rid of the audio message that I have unlimited minutes when I make a call? I want that 10 seconds of my life back :)

    When I make a call I get an audio message that I have unlimited minutes and then dial the number. Is there any way to get rid of that message? Because I really want to get back those 10 seconds back, Ha, Ha, not!

    Whoever thought this new search box GUI was a good idea was mistaken IMHO.
    I've used the method shown above to return it to the old constant icon/text display with instantly available drop down of my alternative chosen search engines. All back to how it was in the previous version. Yay!
    Displaying the chosen default search engine icon/text in the search box just seems a better and more sensible GUI feature to me than needing to hover over the box to show the same information (minus icon) . As for having to start entering search terms before the other search engine options become available - that is just plain ill conceived design.
    The old design is more user friendly and should be the default setting but if some users want the new GUI for the search box why not include that under Tools > Options?

    Is there any way to get rid of the new control panel?  I hate it.  It pops up constantly when I scroll on Facebook or Pinterest, and my 3 year old turns things on and off frequently by accident.

  • Is there any way to get your pictures back after updating to maverick?

    is there any way to get your pictures back after updating to maverick?

    Is Aperture not launching at all? Then update Aperture like Ernie recommended. You'll need version 3.5.1, or 3.4.5 with Mavericks. If you have any Aperture 3 version, you should be able to update for free.
    After updating Aperture, make sure you have a backup copy of your Aperture library, before opening it in the new version.  Click the Aperture library, to open Aperture on your library.
    Or, is the problem, that Aperture opened on an empty library? Then check the file system on the drive with your Aperture library. It may have the wrong formatting. Then move your Aperture library to a drive formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled). Click the

  • HT5772 The new Korn download included 11 videos I don't want jamming my iPod touch memory. Is there any way to get rid of these so they're not trying to sync back on? Had I known this would be a problem, I would've downloaded the songs individually.

    I got the new Korn album on iTunes. Eleven included videos are massive files which all but filled my pod up.
    Is there any way to get them deleted so their not trying to sync back all the time?
    What a P.I.T.A.!!!!!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

  • Is there any way to get rid of unwanted icons?

    Hi: Some icons can be removed by holding until all the icons start to 'flash' and the garbage can appears. But this only works for some. Things like Podcasts, Adobe Reader or Video Store don't have a garbage can. Is there any way to tidy up the screen by remving unwanted icons?
    Thanks.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    No, as these are considered 'core' apps.
    I'd suggest just dropping them in a folder out of the way.

  • I updated to th 5.0 software and all my pictures and contacts were deleted.  Is there any way to get them back?, I updated to th 5.0 software and all my pictures and contacts were deleted.  Is there any way to get them back?

    After I saw that everything was deleted, I hit the back up and only my contacts and photos from May 2010 came back.  I then hit 'restore' and all my contacts deleted once again.  I just want my pictures and contacts back from before I updated this software!!

    if you wanna get back your pictures and notes restore your friend iphone on your pc but make sure that your friend had the same name of your iphone and the same verison of the old sofware before you update , after that all your contact and note and everything are on your friend iphone , you can copy them in a way or another , I did this with my sister iphone , no matter what is the two iphone's generation the sofware verison is the trick xxx
    and for the contacts you can locate the contact folder at your pc , and copy them into your device one way or another xxx

  • Is there any way to get rid of the private feature? Or to store history while using that feature?

    I would like to be able to get rid of the private feature. It is too hard to manage kids browsing and this makes it all the more difficult. I would like to be able to get rid of this feature all together or at least be able to store the history while this feature is open. There should be some way to see the history.

    Sorry, the Mozilla developers didn't include a switch to turn Private Browsing off. Any hack that I have seen posted would affect the main security file and possibly cause a security risk (advice provided by a Mozilla developer). There is a Bug filed to disable Firefox's Private Browsing mode when Windows Vista and Win 7 Parental Controls are enabled. I made a comment in that Bug in Oct 2009 and provided a list of threads (in Dec 2009) from this support forum that discussed the requests from parents for either a switch to turn the feature off or compatibility with Windows Parental Control, The final result of that effort was a comment about the (small - "two per week") number of threads where this topic was discussed. There haven't been any comments or any progress made since last April toward fixing that Bug. ''Please note that not every Bug is a fault with Firefox, a good number of Bugs are requests for enhancement of existing features or for adding new features.'' <br />

    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471658#c36
    IMO, don't let the kids use Firefox due to this Bug. Or install a good external Parental Control program that records browsing history, as the one that comes with Windows doesn't do as much in Firefox as it does in IE, because of this Bug <br />

  • For some reason every time I start Firefox I get a window to print the current page. Am I the only one this happens to? Is there any way to get rid of it? It just started with the previous update.

    When I start Firefox, the standard print window comes up as if I had clicked on print under the file menu. I close the window without problems, and it doesn't show up again until the next time I start Firefox. When I click on print under the file menu, I get the print window without any problems.

    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
    Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.<br />
    You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.
    C:\Documents and Settings\&lt;user&gt;\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
    (%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
    If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Is there any way to get rid off the network lost notifications - really ruins the iPad experience :(

    Hey all, I'm getting really frustrated with constantly being notified that the network has dropped, especially when travelling through areas with patchy signal. I know I can turn off 3g but that would mean not using 3G when I need it the most. I think this notification is poorly thought out by apple - why would a user want to be notified every 30 seconds their signal is coming and going? Or indeed ever be notified? Surely that's what the signal bar is for. is there a way to disable this noification? Thanks for the help.

    Assuming you're talking about the icons, only the developer can change those... Apple in this case.

  • Is there a way to get rid of iOS 5.0.1 on the iphone 4s

    I just got my phone and the first day my battery ran awesome then i did the update and now its draining my battery. Is there a way to just get rid of the update? Like should i do a restore on my phone and just not use icloud and start off brand new, or will it still be on there?

    So there is really nothing to do about the crappy battery? i have everything turned off, no icloud, brightness down, and still crappy battery and they replaced my phone yesterday. and i still am having an issue with it. i felt like it was better yesterday before i did the update. i wish i could delete it in general.

  • I bought the movie Avatar by James Cameron a while ago and ITunes deleted it out of nowhere. I am not the one that deleted it. Is there any way to get it back without having to pay for it again? Thank you for your assistance.

    I am getting very aggravated by this, as I am not the one that did anything, yet they want me to pay for this movie again. I personally feel that this is a morally bankrupt thing for apple to do, unless it was a simply an error, in which case I expect to have my movie back.

    I also lost all my movies a month or two ago when I upgraded iTunes, a pain in the arse getting everything back, but since then I back up everything religiously.  Apple didn't delete my movies, they just disappeared the way these things do sometimes when you upgrade software.
    Avatar, however, is not available from teh iCloud and you would have been warned of this when you bought it - my son has it on his iPad and he wants to remove it to free up space but the only way we can get it again is to pay for it again (unless someone has a smart idea of how I can sync his iPad with my PC and capture a version of it like that?.....without losing all my itunes on the PC?.....).
    Some movie houses are more generous than others, but a small price to pay for the brilliant convenience of having most movies on the Cloud, I'd say :-)
