Question on the new Droid update...can I decline it?

My daughter and I both have Droids and she got the update yesterday. But it changed the look of the messaging screen. It's no longer white lettering on a black background, it's now light blue letters on a white background and is very hard on the eyes. Is there anyway to change that? She also said the tab menu changed and it's driving her crazy. She'd like to delete the "upgrade" since it seems to be of little use to her. Meanwhile, my phone keeps giving me the message that an update is waiting and I keep putting it off. BTW, adjusting the brightness is of no help at all.
I really don't know what to do. I don't deal with glare very well at all and the thought of wearing my sunglasses indoors to read texts is making me nauseous. Is there any way OUT of the upgrade???

The page that changed was the list of "message senders"...it used to be black with white lettering. Now it's gone to white with blue lettering and it's hard to read. But in reading other Droid forums, I found an app I can use instead of the standard messaging app that changes the background and even lets me choose custom text. My daughter's happy now and I finally downloaded the update.
However I'm NOT happy with the extra garbage that was included with the download. Latitude is a useless invasion of my privacy. I was stunned to receive an email that let me know my location was being disclosed online. I think that's outrageous, but I know there is a younger crowd out there who will disagree with me. Unfortunately, I can't uninstall it, but I did disable it. It will stay that way permanently.

I want to uninstall the new iOS update. can somebody please help?

I have a son that is disabled and he LOVES youtube. He has learned a lot navigating through the app. The new iOS update does not support that app. Why?? i dont know but I wish I never updated. I have no idea how to uninstall the update. Can somebody PLEASE help me??!!! Thank you so much!!

Just go to YouTube.com in safari and view the content that way. Create a shortcut on the home screen so you do not bleed to type in the address.

Question about the new JAVA Update J2SE 5.0 Release 3

Here is some info about this update:
Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Release 3 allows applications and applets developed for the J2SE 5.0 platform to run on Mac OS X v 10.4.2 and later.
This update does NOT CHANGE the DEFAULT VERSION of Java on your Mac from Java 1.4.2 to J2SE 5.0, though Java applications that require J2SE 5.0 may specifically request it. You can change the preferred Java version for applications and applets by using the new Java Preferences utility. This utility is installed by the J2SE 5.0 update at /Applications/Utilities/Java/J2SE 5.0/.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302412
HERE IS MY QUESTION---
This update makes me nervous cause I don't know much about Java. IF I change my default version to this new 5.0 will it mean that some of the older Java stuff on the web won't work? Should I just download this and ignore it? What should I do about this update?
Thanks for the help!

I too seem to be suffering issues with loading web pages after the 10.4.3/Java 5.0 update. I have reinstalled both updates, changed the java settings, emptied all the caches, and tried various combinations thereof, and I still have problems with web pages loaded. most of the problems appear to be related to rendering frames and images - In fact a couple of web sites I navigate to (upon looking at the source for the page" state "It appears your browser does not support frames." I think this is something broken in the latest release. Unfortunately, I cannot reinstall the latest copy of Safari, because the installer states "This version of Safari cannot be installed. It requires version 10.4.2." I guess I am in a pickle until Apple comes out with another update. BTW I have some pages that Safari will not render but IE running on the same box will. I also noticed that the problem propagated to other applications that use Java....For instance the Dashboard widget from google (Google Maps) no longer renders the tiled (framed?) map pieces...instead you get the ubiquitous "?" icon.

Two separate questions about the new s3 update

Okay, so I just recently updated my s3 and so far I love everything about it, very nice job. Just two things bother me about it (not sure if the second one has to do with the update or not)
Firstly, when you receive a text message it pops up on your lock screen with about the first sentence of the message. Now that's a big problem for me, I enjoy my privacy, so if I'm texting someone, get up and leave me phone wherever I am at the time, someone could pick up my phone and instantly see who I'm talking to and what about without any type of security (I have the pin lock). If there is a way to disable it I cannot find it anywhere, maybe I'm not looking hard enough, any help would be appreciated.
Secondly, when sent a picture message instead of the message itself from the person sending it I get a message from "Me" or my own phone number saying "You've got a new PIX or FLIX message! To see it, visit *insert the vzw site here*. When going to the site it asks me to sign up and sync my phone to the cloud, which I do not want at all. Is this something with my service or the new update? It's quite infuriating to be honest. If either of these is true, is there a way to disable this feature and continue receiving pictures/video messages "normally"? PS: Picture/Video messaging worked all normal before I updated.
Thank you so much for any insight or help you can provide.

If you are using the stock Text messaging App. Open the app (while on the screen that shows all your people you have text, (not an individual person) click on your menu icon, the go to Settings> scroll down to >Notification settings>Notifications The box should be unchecked, or if it is checked there is a "Preview message" option that you can uncheck. That will take it off of the lock screen. Hth.
***Sorry, did not see the link that Tikibar posted ref the first question. If you leave the "Notifications" box checked, you can customize the rest of your notifications...and just uncheck the "Preview message" box.

I have 3 iTunes libraries on my one one computer and since I updated to the new version I can no longer see who's library I am in. It used to show at the top of iTunes the name of the library I was in. Is there a way I can tell which library I am in?

No. Frequently the apps take up more storage space on the iPod that the file download size.

With the new i0s7 update I can't delete the mail in my inbox all at once. I see there is the edit which allows you to mark all and to the right of that is MOVE and TRASH, why when you mark all you can't access these two options?

In the new ios7 update, why can't you mark all your messages in the inbox all at once? The EDIT tab lets you Mark All and off to the right is greyed out "move" and "trash", why can't you Select all and then press TRASH. It only lets you mark them as Flag, or mark as read. This *****!

Hi Scottay777,
Per pg 52 of the iOS7 User Manual, what you describe should be possible:
Delete, move, or mark multiple messages. While viewing a list of messages, tap Edit. Select some messages or tap Mark All, then choose an action. If you make a mistake, shake iPhone immediately to undo.

The "new tab" tiles can no longer be updated.

For about a month now the version of firefox on my work pc, the "new tab" tiles can no longer be updated. I can move existing tabs. I cannot add new tabs. Dragging a bookmark over an empty tile opens the link in the "new tab". If I accidentally delete a tile, it is gone forever. Firefox does not prompt me to restore it. I am running the current ver. of Firefox. I even uninstalled/re-installed to see if that had an effect, it did not. Windows7, Firefox 27.0.1

Did you manually start Firefox in private browsing mode, or is the "Always use private browsing mode" option enabled?
* [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
If you want to restore tiles you've previously deleted,
# Type ''about:config'' in the address bar and press Enter.
# Press the big button to bypass the warning.
# In the search bar, paste ''browser.newtabpage.blocked''
# In the search results, right-click ''browser.newtabpage.blocked'' and choose '''Reset'''.
Your personal data and customizations are stored in your profile folder. This folder is normally not deleted, unless you check the "Remove my personal data…" option when uninstalling.

Hello,
While trying to update Adobe Reader XI 10.0.06 to 10.0.07 on my laptop running W7 Home Premium x 64, I get error message 2203. The same occurs if I try to uninstall before manually install the new version. Can you please help?

Is there anything else beside the number 2203?
Try removing the current Reader using http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, then install 11.0.07 from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

With the new Yosemite update (10.10.3) I can no longer transfer my photographs into Adobe Photoshop Elements by the previously expedient 'click and drag' method. Neither am I able to import or export them. Does anyone have suggestion on moving them?

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)
Much love
