Stop forcing updates

Will you let us use old Skype versions again? I haven't used skype in months and I miss it a bit, although most of my friends have quitted Skype too. Skype was good, was that update cr@p really necessary?

Hi Ivan111 ,
Skype versions 6.14 and below doesnt work anymore.
You may uninstall Skype by doing the following steps below:
On your keyboard, press the Windows and R keys to open the Run dialog.
Type appwiz.cpl and click OK.
Right-click Skype in the list that appears and select Remove or Uninstall.
On your keyboard, press the Windows and R keys to open the Run dialog.
Type %appdata% and click OK.
Delete the Skype folder.
Then install Skype by clicking the link below:
http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_6.18.0.106.msi
Then turn off automatic updates by doing the steps below:
Sign in to Skype.
In the menu bar, select Tools > Options....
In the Advanced tab, select Automatic updates.
Click Turn off automatic updates.
Click Save.
Let me know if this works for you.

Akyll

Stop pre from trying to force update to 1.3.1?

So like most other posts after 1.3.1 was dumped on the unsuspecting populace, I updated, saw none of my major bugs fixed, introduced only worse ones, and I flattened my phone back to restore back to 1.2.1 until palm gets their act together (hopefully). I spared my wife the woes of upgrade after she saw how bad it made my phone react, but almost immediately hers began trying to force her to update, and a few days later me too. Even worse we couldn't get it to stop trying.
I need to know how to stop this incessant nagging until I actually see some positive result from attempts to upgrade to non-buggy software - I'm afraid im going to accidentally let it upgrade and have my phone paralyzed/unuseable again on 1.3.1. What can we do to stop the forced upgrade other than keep telling it "upgrade me later" at every charge?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Ok, now I'm pretty much p*ssed at palm... So at some point over night it decided to auto-update itself without asking prior to me removing patches and everything else, so in essence now my phone is completely hozed - again. So now not only are all my patches gone that actually made the phone usable, I get the joy of 1.3.1 freezing up my phone every 2 seconds, yahoo/msn/communicator are all broken, and I need to flatten the phone yet again (and this time doing the recommended killing of UpdateManager).
This is really disappointing that the community takes up Palm's shortcommings in fixing problems and adding functionality they're lacking, only to have Palm come along and completely screw them up. Palm is well aware of the community fixing their inability/inactions through homebrew, but still choose to force updates that can cripple the software automagically. They need to learn to co-exist, and not hard-handedly update when homebrew is present! This will just continue to fracture their community as they've been doing already.
No matter how good linux itself has become, vendors like Palm can still screw it up with buggy java stacks and poor overall software implementation.

Stop forcing upgrades

I have been forced, by repeated interruptions to my work telling me that software had been downloaded, to upgrade Adobe Reader through two steps, first to 9.3.1 then to 9.3.2. This is a pure pain because I do not use Reader, having switched to Preview precisely because I was fed up with the constant "upgrades". In this case I was forced to use Reader by a customized document I was sent to review. The "upgrades", first to 9.3.1 then to 9.3.2, continually interrupted my work until I gave in a tried to install them. 9.3.2 crashed my Macbook twice refusing even to allow a soft restart or shutdown. Finally I was forced to navigate through the Adobe website to find and install the "upgrade". It cost me more than an hour, lost concentration to say nothing of the anger and frustration. Why are you wasting users time and sending out stuff that does not work (just look for this forum to see how much unnecessary grief this is causing people). Just STOP doing this: ONLY send small upgrades when security issues make it unavoidable. Otherwise offer upgrades and give good reasons why users should choose them. I don't care whether you publish this on your forum; I just want you to know that this kind of behavior convinces users to abandon your products as I did. WHY do you do it?

Thanks for your kind suggestion.

Since you don't use Adobe Reader, the
easiest way to stop the updates is to uninstall it.

How stop auto update before you insert the ipod

This seems to be a real quandary. sometimes you want to insert your ipod without the whole updating thing taking over you ipod. but I don't think you can change that setting unless the ipod in plugged into computer, and if setting is auto update it just starts. any ideas appreciated. thanks.

thanks Niel, but before I proceed, what exactly happens when you do that, does the ipod not do the auto update? and you can access or update manually?
also, anyway to stop the updating once it starts? thanks

HT5934 How do I stop this update uploading to my mobile? Because I can't take any photos at all and the update is using up every inch of my mobile's space,not allowing me to keep all of my photos even though I've not got that many on there in the first pl

How do I stop updates uploading on my mobile please? Because I cannot take any photos at all on it as the iOS update program 7.0.3 is hogging up every inch of my mobile's space, not allowing me to keep my photos even though I've not that many anyway. Help?

Turn off Wifi in settings and then turn it on again; this will pause your device's update from updating.
To stop automatic updates of applications, go to settings, Itunes&appstore, scroll down to automatic downloads and turn off updates
Hope I've helped

Forcing Update of Default Global Address List

How can I force update of the Global Address List (Default Global Address List). I have about 62 000 MailContacts objects which are synchronisze regularly with AD and the information feature correctly both in AD and under Mail Contact (EMC) in Exchange2007.
However, most of the MailContacts are not showing in the Global Address List. The Mailcontacts are missing both in Outlook and OWA.
What is the default schedule for the GAL created during exchange installation?
Though I know there is now possibility to edit it and that is not my wish, but can at least force an update so that it takes all the available information
Thanks

I started this thread in summer 2010 and occassionaly still being faced with this problem.
The Problem is actually to be able to "STAMP" Mailcontacts received from external source, without any addition EmaiAddress entry from the Default Policy (our
DomainName) being added to them. Everything works fine with OWA once „Update-GlobalAddressList“ is applied, but outlook seems not able to work correctly until
the “STAMPING” - Update-EmailAddressPolicy”
is applied. I get this error message when trying to send mail:
„Delivery has failed to these recipients or distribution lists:
RecepientDisplayName
The recipient's e-mail address was not found in the recipient's e-mail system. Microsoft Exchange will not try to redeliver this message for you. Please check the e-mail address and try resending this message, or provide the following diagnostic text to your
system administrator.“
In case there is not workaround to avoid the additional EmailAddress, then with which PS command can I run through only the Mailcontact and delete this additional EmailAddres
entry.
Thanks

My podcasts stop auto updating

They stop automatically updating when I haven't listened to one in a while. It's annoying because sometimes there's reasons I haven't listened to one in a while but I still want it updated.
But iTunes insists on stopping updates if I haven't listened to one in a while.
I haven't found anything in preferences that lets me change this either. Anyone have a solution?

This has always been annoying. At least now it tells you it has stopped updating. In left column next to name it put exclamation point next to a couple podcasts in list. When I clickon on it to see what it was I got a message asking if I wanted to continue.

Force update lumia 800: Will I still be able to do...

Hi,
As I mentioned in my previous post, I was not able to get the official update for my lumia, even though the website says that updates are available.
So I decided to force update it. However, I still would like to install the official update whenever it's available.
Is this still possible given that I have force updated my phone? Or do I have to downgrade back to .12070 ?
Please help. Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Actually please dont mind this post. I have confused myself a bit with the update versions

Stopping software update

I have tried to install a HP printer on SL and each time software update tries to find the drivers.
The problem is each time I re-boot, software update pops up asking me if I want to download and install the HP drivers. If I say yes, it tries and once again can’t find them and so the process goes on and on.
How do I permanently stop software update trying to install the Hp drivers?

HI,
Drag this file to the Trash.
com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag the file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.
See if that helps...
