If you are experiencing issues with automatic downloads on your Mac, or simply want to disable the feature, you can do so by following these steps:

  1. Open the 'System Preferences' application on your Mac. You can find it by clicking on the Apple icon in the top left corner of your screen and selecting 'System Preferences' from the dropdown menu.
  2. Click on 'App Store' in the System Preferences menu.
  3. Uncheck the box next to 'Automatically download apps purchased on other Macs' and 'Automatically download updates' to disable automatic downloads.

By completing these steps, you should have successfully disabled automatic downloads on your Mac. If you wish to re-enable the feature in the future, simply follow the same steps and check the boxes next to the options you want to enable.
