Turn off Automatic Re-linking

Hello,

 

Our company recently re-vamped their servers and consolidated folders. I am stuck re-linking 462 links inside of one document. My problem is - when I relink images on page 1 (of 400), and find my images for that page in folder titled "page one", I go to re-link my first image and while it's "gears are spinning" it decides to auto-link the three other images on page 1 and ten images on page 62 with images from a completely different folder........ I need it to stop re-linking photos that i am not selecting. Why is it doing this when I am physically selecting the numbered link? How do i turn this off?  Why is it relinking images on different pages, but not all of them? There are so many questions and this is destroying my document. Everytime i update one link, it auto-relinks the incorrect images on a different page causing me to be in a vicious cycle/loop! please send help!

    If the same file is linked multiple times - you'll see it as a folder with all instances - if you update one - the rest should also be updated...

     

    Or can you upload a screenshot of your Links Palette? 

     

    Or maybe you should trash your preferences - as they got corrupted?

      I'm sure i'm describing this poorly, but no it isn't the same image that is being linked multiple times. They are completely different images. Example: page one has an image of an apple in folder: page one. I re-link, and on page 17 my image of a computer is re-linked with an image of an orange from folder: page fiftytwo..... both folders, "page one, page fiftytwo" are subfolders to folder: "images" so I understand that they have 'similar' locations, but i'm not understanding how these links are jumping. Also, the incorrect re-linking on page 17.... is not happening on all pages. Most pages still have faulty links showing, but a few are slipping through my cracks when it auto-relinks (and doesn't tell me which ones it is relinking while doing it incorrectly).
