Is There Any Way Under Heaven to Prevent Kit-Kat from Installing?

I've already had my phone screwed up enough. Tonight the stupid Kit-Kat downloaded to my Galaxy S3, and I'm getting those annoying pop-up dialogues asking me when I want to start the install.
I don't WANT to start the install. After reading so many problems here, especially the battery charging issues, I don't understand why this update continues to be pushed on those that have not already been stuck with it.
Please! ANYONE! Tell me how to get this out of my phone. I am looking for new phone, though I shouldn't have to, but it's going to be a couple of months before I can do it. I'm only one year into a 2-year contract so I'm having to pay out of pocket for the new one. I've already spent a ton of money on portable power packs, extra batteries, extra chargers.
These things are money-pits, plain and simple. And making people tear their hair out. For Pete's sake, leave us alone!

Try this...
Application Manager-All-Google Services Framework-Uncheck Show Notifications
That at least stopped the annoying popups that just WAIT for you to get through your lock-screen, then jump in before you can hit another app, forcing the install.
I don't know if this will hold it off forever, but my daughter has been able to avoid the 4.3 update since last December.
The Android icon will appear in your notification bar, but it will remain quiet.
EDITED TO UPDATE: Well, no, it isn't working after all. All is lost and our phones are doomed.

Is there any way to roll back the Kit Kat update to the previous version?

Since the update my car(2012 SRT8 Charger) will no longer read text messages from my Razr HD to me or even show them on touch screen. It was working fine before update.

Everything worked fine before the update and nothing on the car has changed. I unpaired and repaired and now I get the message on my car that says "Feature not supported on the current phone" The reason I chose this vehicle and phone were because I really needed that feature due to being a real estate broker on the road all the time. I didn't ask for the update and I want it back to the old OS. I'm also having issues now with battery life, WiFi, and bluetooth. This is totally unacceptable and if I have to change phones I will definitely be changing carriers on all 3 lines I have. Please advise.

Is there any way under iOS7 to show the full home screen without the 3D band at the bottom reducing picture size?

Is there any way under iOS7 to show the full home screen without the 3D band at the bottom reducing picture size? I want to see full pictures from my camera roll, not "special effects" from Apple..

By 3D band are you referring to the Dock area where apps like Safari and Mail live? If so there is no way to remove this.

I have an iphone and an ipad (which are connected by the same apple id) i broke the phone and sold it but i didnt get to factory reset it because it was broken, is there any way for me to wipe my iphone from my ipad?

i have an iphone and an ipad (which are connected by the same apple id) i broke the phone and sold it but i didnt get to factory reset it because it was broken, is there any way for me to wipe my iphone from my ipad?

Try this:
Open the "Find my iPhone" app on your iPad, fill in your AppleID and password at the start up screen, and you should see a list of all your devices and their current location, if connected to a Wi-Fi or mobile data network. Devices not connected will be shown as "offline". But you can still trap on the icon and hit "erase iPhone" in the right hand window.
If your iPhone is not listed, you did not activate this feature during the setup of the phone and it can't be erased remotely.
If the phone is listed, even as offline, tap on "erase" to send the erase command. The next time your device will be connected to any kind of network, the content will be erased.

If you haven't got a backup copy and if it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (there is no guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Well that printer isn't an airpritn printer so your going to have to download a third party item from the internet, that's what I did and it work's great. I like http://www.collobos.com/ it's called fingerprint, you can use the tes version first to make sure it work's and they buy iy for $10 and you don't have to go buy a new airprint printer.

Guess you have your answer. Maybe next time you'll read the User Guide and use the phone as recommended so this doesn't happen again.

I have updated my mac from snow leopard to mountain lion 3 days back. I had some important data in my library folder and it got overwritten. Is there any way i can get the data back from my snow leopard library folder?

I tried mackeeper to recover files but it could not. Any other way any one has tried to recover a system library folder after OS upgrade?

No, it doesn't store a clone. You would have needed to make one with either SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
If the files were in your ~/Library folder then they may still be there. As I said, you can access it by
going to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library". I wouldn't think an upgrade would overwrite anything in ~/Library.
If you have a Time Machine backup you may also be able to use that to retrieve them.

Is there any way to recover photos you have deleted from iphoto trash?????

Is there any way to recover photos you have deleted from iphoto trash;ie emptied trash..

Depends on the version of iPhoto - some details would help us help you
If you have iPhoto '11 then the photos go from the iPhoto trash to the system trash and you can recover them there and import backinto iPhoto
Otherwise you you are looking at data recovery software like file salvage http://subrosasoft.com/software/filesalvage or a data recovery service

Hi there. My iPod Nano was stolen from my car today. I do know the serial number of this stolen device. Is there any way that Apple can block another user from connecting this stolen device to iTunes?

Hi there. My iPod Nano was stolen from my car today. I do know the serial number of this stolen device. Is there any way that Apple can block another user from connecting this stolen device to iTunes? Also, if another user was to attempt to connect this stolen device to iTunes, would Apple be able to inform of the username of this person in order that I could then pass this information to the police?
