Why Skype is pushing updates by force, even though I do not want them?

Why Skype is pushing to force updates are forced to, even though I denied receiving automatic updates taking? Apparently, I have to throw the whole Skype landfill without doing anything.

Are you sure about the more than one account? I'm running Windows XP Professional SP3. There is only ONE user account which I am using and I already checked "never check for updates". It just updated my Firefox automatically. I had to uninstall and download and re-install the older version again.
Is there a fix by editing the Registry to actually disable the automatic updates?

  • I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.

    I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.
    At first I thought it might be because I was using simultaneously my old iPhone 4S so it somehow realized the emails where being pushed to another device and the it marked as read, this has nothing to do since I have deleted the email account from the iPhone 4S

    Contact the email provider for assistance with their service.

  • When the cursor hovers over an email or link it opens even though I do not want it to open. This is seriously annoying and I am ready to quit firefox. Please help me fix this problem!!!

    I think my explanation is enough, the link or email opens when my cursor hovers on it I want to click any link or email I want to see not have them open automatically!!!

    thx for your response. are saying websites such as hotmail and yahoo mail detect that they are being accessed via firefox and turn off the JavaScript that makes hot links? really? additionally, i have friends with firefox in which hyperlinks stay active when they are copied and pasted.
    was the "Make Link" add-on you posted supposed to fix the problem? i downloaded it, but i don't know where the "context menu" is that is supposed to help me. how to i view this context window now that i have downloaded the add-on?

  • Bookmarks are added even though I've not requested them.

    Whenever I click on Bookmarks>Recently added a whole list of pages appear that I have not bookmarked. I then have to go and delete each and every one, one at a time. This is annoying, as it then takes forever to find my recent bookmarked pages. I can't find a help article to find the answer to this problem.

    Are you sure that you haven't clicked the star on the location bar?
    Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file
    You can try to check and repair the places database with this extension:
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
    * "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" are examples of the so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders]] and are not real existing folders.
    * Such smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores the bookmarks and the history in Firefox.
    * Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.
    * Bookmarks that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
    * If you remove an entry then the list is shifted up and a new entry that wasn't shown previously is added to show 10 entries.
    * If you add a new bookmark or visit a website then a new item is added at the top and the entry at the bottom disappears from that list.
    * Items that disappear from the list are not gone, but merely do not show up anymore in that list.

  • Apparently, BT are capping me even though I'm not ...

    Hey there, Recently I have been getting really slow speeds during peak times, I know you'll say "Thats what is meant to happen" and I know it is but my internet is going so slow that I can't load YouTube videos and play on Xbox LIVE from around 5:20pm till about 11:30pm all week. Sometimes even loading web pages is painfully slow. Heres something though: We are currently with Sky for Broadband. We called them up and we checked everything, It isn't Sky that is capping us because we checked our current speeds and sure enough I was getting the speed advertised therefore they said it was BT capping us. I have been livid because gaming doesn't take up much bandwidth, we can't upgrade our internet because we are outside Sky's network coverage area. So they said they'd reset something to get rid of the cap but that didn't work. So, from what I have seen and been told BT is capping us even though we are not with them and they are giving us slower speeds than what they cap their customers are. Shocking. Any Help?
    P.S we recently switched from BT because we kept being getting disconnected every 3 - 4 hours and we had no "cap" on Sky until about a month ago.

    The reason that I was saying that it was BT is that Sky themselves told me BT was capping peoples speeds. My limit is 40GB which there is NO WAY I am hitting as I don't download much and I watch YouTube and do online Gaming which as I said doesn't take up much bandwidth. The possible reason Sky could have said that it was BT is because they control everything in my area. I will try other forums like this and report back
    I'm afraid Sky are lying to you. BT do *not* cap other operator/ISP connections.
    Sky are your provider, get onto their service desk and tell them to stop palming you off onto someone else. It is a Sky problem, not BT. If Sky don't have enough bandwidth to supply their customers, then that is a Sky problem, not BT. It doesn't matter if BT control everything or not, Sky are paying BT to use their equipment and bandwidth, if there is not enough - then it is Sky promising to deliver something they are unable.

    1 January 1970 appears in my contacts as a duplication even though I have not added them myself, is this a virus? What should I do?

    In my contacts, several contacts that I actually know have been duplicated using only the first name in this duplication. Also in the duplication, the birthday and  anniversary are listed as 1 January 1970. I have not made these duplications...they have just appeared. Does this mean I have a virus? And if I do what should I do?

  • Why does my library show no content even though ATV2 can see my library?

    Why does my library show no content even though ATV2 can see my library?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • "Check for updates" is disabled even though I'm signed in as administrator.

    I would like to upgrade to the newest Firefox version, but it's not allowing me to (& check for updates is disabled) even though I'm signed in as the administrator. How do I change this? How do I get to the installer preferences?

    I'm running Firefox 4.0.1 under Windows 7 Service Pack 1. If there is any other relevant information I missed out, please tell me! :-)
    Yes, a re-installation would most probably solve the problem but I'm to curious to do that. I want to know why some settings are unavailable even though I run Firefox as an Administrator. :-)
    I have attached a screen dump of the About-window (Firefox->Help->About Firefox). The button for updating Firefox is replaced by the text "Uppdateringar är inaktiverade av systemadministratören" which translate to "Updates are inactivated by the system administrator".
    The other dump is of the updates settings (Firefox->Settings->Settings->Advanced->Updates). As you can see, the options for automatically updates is not available. This dump correspond to https://support.mozilla.com/media/uploads/gallery/images/2011-06-01-08-15-43-7e6d8a.png
    Both dumps are done when Firefox is ran as administrator.

  • I wanted to restore my iphone beacause i've forgotten the passcode but it is asking me to update my software even though my iphone is up to date. and in the end , the update is showing error.

    hello. i am having hard time with my iphone 4s. actually, i did set my passcode using the tamil keyboard. my passcode was 'ka' and 'lai'. there's no such alphabet in the keyboard. in order to get "lai" we've to tap "la" and "i". so, it will transform into "lai". i did this in my settings. and when i locked the phone and tapped the word "ka', "la" and "i', this time the two alphabets are not transforming into "lai". it keep remains as two different alphabets. so, i couldn't unlock my iphone 4s. then, i decided to factory reset it via itunes. but, there's a problem again. when i tapped the restore button it is asking me to update iphone software even though it is up to date. and yet when i clicked the download button, it will start the downloading process but after sometime there will be an error in downloading. so, until now i couldn't unlock my iphone. i hope there will a reply as soon as possible.

    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

  • F.05 -   why the entries are being reversed even though I did not tick the

    Hi,
    Please advice why the entries are being reversed even though I did not tick the reversal button in F.05.
    Your assitance is very much appreciated.

    Hi,
    It is a standard SAP procedure by which the revaluation entries are automatically reversed. If you do not want to reverse the revaluation entries, you will have to Activate Delat Logic for the Valuation Area. SPRO Path is Financial Accounting (New)--> General Ledger Accounting (New) > Periodic Processing> Valuate --> Activate Delta Logic.
    Once you activate this Delta Logic, at the time of fc valuation, you will get the check box for Annual or Mid Term revalation will come. If you select the annual option, the automatic reversal will not happen.
    Regards,
    Amit
