Turn off itunes / quicktime update

hello
i'm running an xp sp2 box with itunes and quicktime installed. is there a way to turn off the update function for these two programs.
thanx alot
tim

Assuming here that you're talking about the iTunes and QuickTime internal controls for this rather than Apple Software Update for Windows.
iTunes: launch iTunes, go "Edit > Preferences", go to the General tab, uncheck "Check for updates automatically" and click OK down the bottom of the tab.
QuickTime: two different possible ways. (1) go to your Control Panel, open the QuickTime control panel, click the "Update" tab, uncheck "Check for updates automatically", and click OK. (2) Launch the QuickTime player, go "Help > Update Existing Software", uncheck the "Check for updates automatically" box, and click OK.

When I turn off iTunes, the music keeps playing. How do I stop it?

When I turn off iTunes, I cannot get the music to stop playing. How do I stop it?

You can also do a malware check with some malware scanning programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

How do you permanently turn off iTunes match?

I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS7. I'm very excited and happy with the update. Everything looks very nice and is much more intuitive than before. However, I am having one slight problem. I can't turn off iTunes match.
iTunes match is not something I like to use on my phone. I've always found it to be a little annoying and it tends to get in the way of my music listening experience. Once the update was complete, I opened up settings, went to music, and deselected iTunes match. However, it's not staying unselected. Everytime I look back into the music options it's turned on again. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I've been having the same problem for about a week now and it's driving me crazy. I've changed passwords in everything to reflect the new protocols (that nobody informed us about, I might add) of having at least one capital, etc. etc., but that hasn't changed anything. I do have one song pending download that WON'T download because the file at iTunes is apparently corrupt, and I can't seem to simply eliminate this one song from the queue. HELP!!!!

Can I turn off iTunes match on one computer only?

I have iTunes installed on two laptops, one at home and one at school (I'm a teacher). iTunes match has worked great for my home computer and iPad, BUT...I do not want my music on the school laptop. Is there a way to turn off iTunes match on one machine only? I thought I had turned it off, but when I went to add some audio books for school it said it was adding them to iTunes match and now the books show up on all my devices.
To be clear, I want to keep iTunes match for my personal laptop and iPad, but would like to turn it off on the school laptop.

Hi,
Yes. To turn off match Go to menu > store > and select turn off itunes match.
To turn it back on you need to turn on from same point but you will be asked to sign in and add this computer.

After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update, I can no longer access the itunes store and my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?

After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update I can no longer acces the itunes store nad my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows updates. I have checked the firewall settings. what else?

The problem is with version 10.4.1. I had to reload 10.3 to get it to work. The recommendation from a previous poster worked for me. Here was their list of steps:
Go to Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall
2. Uninstall the following Apple programs in the following order:
     a. iTunes
     b. QuickTime
     c. Apple Software Update
     d. Apple Mobile Devices Support
     e. Bonjour
     f. Apple Appllcation Support
3. Reboot PC
4. Find, Download and Install iTunes 10.3 (you can find it at FileHippo.com)
If you start iTunes now you will get an error message saying that the current iTunes library was created by a newer version of iTunes. To correct this:
5. Go to your Music>iTunes folder and delete the "iTunes Library.itl" database file
6. Within this iTunes folder find and open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and locate the most recently dated "iTunes Library (date).itl" database file.
7. Copy and Paste this file back into the iTunes folder
8. Rename this "iTunes Library (date).itl" file by removing the date. It should say "iTunes Library.itl"
9. Reboot PC

How does one turn off link auto-update?

When we have an ID file open in CS6 and make a Photoshop edit, the link seems to auto-update. We don't like this as we'd rather 'watch' the update so if comes in as expected, etc.. Can one turn off link auto-update? Thanks!

Are you making the edit by selecting the graphic frame and then choosing Edit Original? This will always auto-update.
If that's not it, you might try clicking Preferences > General > Reset All Warning Dialogs

Can Not download itune/quicktime updates. Lost my playlist and half the songs?

I have a 2nd generation Shuffle that works great. Went to download and Itunes/quicktime update from Apple. Got a message saying part of the system needed for the upgard was missing. When I went to my Itunes my playlist was gone. There was a bunch of blank floders. No way to sync the player wihthe computer or download new songs. All I can to is charge my shuffle. Tried to delete and reload Itunes with no luck. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

How can I turn off itunes match on my phone without losing all my playlists?

I have itunes match but want to keep all my music on my iPhone because I travel and don't always have access to the internet. I upgrades to ios8 and now it seems if I turn off iTunes Match in my phone it get rid of all my playlists. How can I stop that from happening. I want my music, and playlist on my phone.

To keep playlists on the phone, create them on the phone
To keep music on the phone, download the tracks before turning off Match.
But turning off Match isn't really necessary. Just turn off Show all music in the music app settings, or do not attempt to play a track that has a cloud icon (i.E. isn't downloaded).

No function after iTunes/Quicktime update

After restarting my G4 Power Mac when the iTunes/Quicktime update had installed, my screen went to blue and froze. I did a hard reboot and now any program I open quits within seconds and I can't open any of my folders! When I try to open something, everything but the dock (toolbar and desktop icons) disappears and come back in a few seconds. Is this an iTunes issue or is there something else going on?

Try booting in Safe Mode. Hold down the Shift key during startup. If that doesn't do it, try holding down the X key during startup. If that doesn't start it up, I think you need to post over in the forum that applies to your particular machine (iBook, MacBook, iMac, etc.) The pros over there might be able to help. Don't hesitate to post back if you have more questions.

TS4006 My passcode requirement was turned off when I updated to iOS 7. It is now requiring my Passcode, but I cannot remember it! And computer won't let me synch because "Find My iPad" app is turned on, which I obviously cannot turn off.

My passcode requirement was turned off prior to updating to iOS 7.
It is now requiring my Passcode, but I cannot remember it! And computer won't let me synch because "Find My iPad" app is turned on, which I obviously cannot turn off without getting into iPad Settings.
Do I really have to Reset the iPad?

Yes, you will need to restore your iPad. This link will help restore from a lost passcode:

HT204406 How can I turn off iTunes match on my mac

I want to disable iTunes Match on my Macbook Pro? How do I do that?
The main reason is bc I just want to sync all of my music to my iPad and not have to download it from the cloud one song at a time on my iPad.

Open iTunes
At the top menu select "Store"
Scroll down to "Turn off iTunes Match" (I've already turned mine off so it shows " Turn on iTunes Match") If your's is on, it will say, "Turn off iTunes Match"

Cable suddenly turns off and is "updating" often

In the past week when i turn on the tv it says updating, probably 3 times this week. Then, in the past day while i'm watching tv it suddenly turns off and restarts, updating again- four times in less than a day. Why is it doing this?

Try "Core Temp" Aida has not be updated in years. Its most likely overtemp of the CPU. A power problem is the next most likely.
