How to stop auto-update of Kindle for Mac software?
I'm running v7.5.3 of the Kindle for Mac software. Anything newer and some other software I have won't do its job properly. I did notice the Kindle app updated itself and I had to delete the new app and re-install the older app. I was wondering how I might stop the app from updating.
Both 7.5.3 and the newer version (ver# unknown right now) have no switch to stop auto-updating like older Kindle apps (and Amazon ignores that setting anyway). I've done a Finder "get info" on the v7.5.3 app and checked the "Locked" checkbox. (The padlock at the lower right of the window shows it locked but, now with the "Locked" checkbox enabled, that padlock is dimmed & can't be clicked). I'm thinking this might do the job but there are better minds here that might wish to advise/comment. Thanks! Last edited by rumplestiltskin; Today at 02:37 AM. Reason: spelling, instant updates |
