Annoying update messages and forced updates

Dear Skype,
I have been using your application for more than a decade now, and today I decided to untick the box "Start Skype at computer startup". I don't delete skype for now, but I am close to permanently remove it.
I have had it with your annoying forced updates.
So long

Hi, Kormendi_adam.
I'm sorry to see your intent to leave Skype. 
Skype dynamically updates to better the Skype network and some updates include a major change that require you to update. This could be anything from a major compatibility change or even a critical bug patch. 9 out of 10, the intent of the Skype development team isn't to push out a new flashy design to be forced into your acceptance, but rather to make improvements that the majority of the userbase would benefit from. 
That's not to say that you will and must enjoy it. That's why we have the Skype community. I'm glad you put your opinion out there. I'm really sorry that you cannot use an older version of the Skype client. I do hope that you will take the time to learn, use and enjoy the latest version of Skype. It has made great strides over time and has become quite the choice in Internet communications and it would be greatly missing a piece if you left. 
And please, if you have any question about Skype or have any bright ideas, please don't hesitate to post them on the Skype community. We're here to help!
P.S.: Did you disable Automatic Updates as an Administrator? You mentioned before that you disabled startup upon login only.

    I have found other threads with this problem. The problem is that you are using your iTunes account on another user at the same time you want to update software. Just close iTunes from that user. See > https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4577180?start=0&tstart=0

  • I continually get the Update message and when I click it runs and never completes update. This has happened everytime I log in.

    Whenever I log in on my computer, I get a Firefox Update message and when I click on it it continually runs for hours and never completes the update.

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • I keep getting the itunes update message and when I accept the terms and conditions it just keeps going back to tell me I have 3 updates itunes, safari and icloud and goes back to accept message without actually downloading?

    What is going on with itunes update?  I keep getting the message that updates are available for itunes, safari and icloud, but when I accept the terms and conditions and the install 3 items message, it keeps going back to telling me there are 3 updates available and have to accept terms and conditions again without it ever installing!! I am using a PC with windows vista.  Have not had this problem till December when I got an ipad and had icloud installed, don't know if there is a connection.

    I can't offer any help but it soulds like Apple goofed with the latest update. Many of us have the same problem. I may wait a week or so to see if Apple responds.

  • Adobe update message and diff versions

    When I check my add ons in Firefox on my desktop running win vista, I see a message stating that
    "Adobe Acrobat is known to be vulnerable and should be updated. 
    On this machine I have release 10.1.4.38 which is the release I downloaded and installed.
    On my laptop running win xp I do not see this message AND the release I have here is 11.0.3.37.
    My question is a: why do I see that message on my vista computer and b: why are the versions different between the vista and xp machines?
    thank you.
    By the way - I am on my laptop because Adobe would not complete login on my vista computer.

    The latest version for Vista is 11.0.3.37
    If you have 10.1.4.38 you should update it.
    You may have to run the Adobe Cleaner to completely remove it first, and then download the offilne installer. That will update your plugin as well.

  • Nokia Messagging and scribble updates only avialab...

    I've have and 5230 rm-588 hispania black-black with the latest firmware (50.0.001), and when I look for updates via phone itself their show me that are updates avialable for messaging and scribble, but if I look for updates in OVI Suite they says that isn't any update avialable.

    yes...i also got a update
    Main menu, new web browser, ovi store, ovi music - all has got kinetic scrolling.
    Now you won't get low memory errors because web browser has greately improved. These is no tabbed browsing until you click on a pop-up link but the kinetic scrolling is now good and the full screen mode is good, now you get a information bar when load any new page which is very helpful. It goes away when the loading is done. It goes to full screen every 3-4 seconds you leave it alone.
    Flash player has improved(for .flv files) now you can fw or rev videos.
    Still there are some problems like when you go to settings>themes>homescreen and select your theme as contacts bar and then you deselect contacts bar (the one present in the home screen option) , the contacts bar is still present at the home screen. But if you again select it, it'll get disappeared from the home screen.
    Still the phone hangs but now it gets normal after you leave it for 20-25 seconds. Now you dont need to remove the battery to restart.
    The viruses I observed before the update were not working which is really good.

  • Blackberry Z10 keeps getting update message and its already updated

    I have a BB Z10, whenever I plug it into the computer I get the message that an update is available.  I ave updated the device a couple times and my device is currently running 10.1.0.273.  Is this a normal thing?

    Had the same issue, also on Rogers.
    It would ask me for an update, then tell me that the update failed, over and over again.
    Ended up deleting Rogers apps (1Number, My Account, Anyplace Live) - went through BBWorld...My World...My Apps and Games, although long-press and delete should work too.
    Haven't been asked to update since.

  • I get the"download iPod updater"message &downloading the updater won't help

    Here's what happened:
    I plugged my iPod into my iTunes to put music on it.
    It says "Do Not Disconnect" like it alwasys does, but this time doesn't go away. It stays for 45 minutes. IN an act of desperation, I disconnect.
    I lose everything.
    "Not a big deal" I think, because I can just put the stuff on my iPod again.
    I connect the two, I get the "download iPod updater" message. I download it. Same thing.
    I uninstall and reinstall about 3 times.
    Still same thing.
    PLEASE HELP.

    im having pretty much the EXACT same problem with mine. tried the "5 r's" yadda yadda, completely useless. this is my second ipod, i had a 4G that died a few months ago, which had the same problem, but about 6 months after i bought it. my 5G is brand new, got it for xmas like most people, next day i plug it in and BAM, its been blinking that **** little red circle for days and ive tried everything. im just gonna make use of my warrenty and send it in for repairs. ill post if i figure something out before then.

  • CALL TRANSACTION ... UPDATE 'S' and Restartable Update Request

    Dear experts,
    I have a program that calls a transaction by using the CALL TRANSACTION ... UPDATE 'S' statement. This transaction then performs a database update by using CALL FUNCTION ... IN UPDATE TASK statement. The database update may cause an error due to the primary key conflict.
    One behavior that I notice of my program is when the database update raises an error, the corresponding update request in the update table log (SM13) will be flagged as error and non-restartable, eventhough the update module in question is restartable. Why is it like this?
    To make my question clearer, I attach my transaction, program and update module below. They are very simple.
    Update module:
    FUNCTION z_121_15_update_module.
    *"*"Update Function Module:
    *"*"Local Interface:
    *"  IMPORTING
    *"     VALUE(IMP_ZSCARR_CUSTOM) TYPE  ZSCARR_CUSTOM
      INSERT into zscarr_custom values imp_zscarr_custom.
      IF sy-subrc NE 0.
        WRITE sy-subrc TO subrc.
        MESSAGE subrc TYPE 'A'.
      ENDIF.
    ENDFUNCTION.
    Subroutine in the transaction that calls the update module above:
    FORM save.
      zscarr_custom-carrname = sy-uzeit.
      CALL FUNCTION 'Z_121_15_UPDATE_MODULE' IN UPDATE TASK
        EXPORTING
          imp_zscarr_custom = zscarr_custom.
      COMMIT WORK.
      LEAVE TO SCREEN 0.
    ENDFORM.
    The program that calls the transaction whose the subroutine above:
    *& Report  Z_121_15_COMPLEX_LUW_19
    *& Program that calls a transaction.
    *& Called transaction(s): Z_121_15_CLUW_20
    REPORT z_121_15_complex_luw_19.
    DATA:
      it_bdcdata TYPE TABLE OF bdcdata,
      wa_bdcdata TYPE bdcdata,
      subrc TYPE char10.
    wa_bdcdata-program = 'Z_121_15_COMPLEX_LUW_20'.
    wa_bdcdata-dynpro = '100'.
    wa_bdcdata-dynbegin = 'X'.
    APPEND wa_bdcdata TO it_bdcdata.
    CLEAR wa_bdcdata.
    wa_bdcdata-fnam = 'ZSCARR_CUSTOM-CARRID'.
    wa_bdcdata-fval = '01'.
    APPEND wa_bdcdata TO it_bdcdata.
    CLEAR wa_bdcdata.
    wa_bdcdata-fnam = 'BDC_OKCODE'.
    wa_bdcdata-fval = 'SAVE'.
    APPEND wa_bdcdata TO it_bdcdata.
    CALL TRANSACTION 'Z_121_15_CLUW_20' USING it_bdcdata MODE 'E' UPDATE 'A'.
    *IF sy-subrc > 0.
      WRITE sy-subrc TO subrc.
      MESSAGE subrc TYPE 'S'.
    *ENDIF.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Haris

    What I mean is, for example, when the called update module in the code below issues a type A message,
      CALL FUNCTION 'Z_121_15_UPDATE_MODULE' IN UPDATE TASK
        EXPORTING
          imp_zscarr_custom = zscarr_custom.
      COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.
    then, in SM13, the corresponding update task will be flagged as non restart-able, eventhough the update module itself is defined as restart-able.
    This also happens in the case follows: let the code below is a part of a transaction program that calls an update module
      CALL FUNCTION 'Z_121_15_UPDATE_MODULE' IN UPDATE TASK
        EXPORTING
          imp_zscarr_custom = zscarr_custom.
      COMMIT WORK.
    and the transaction above is called by a program by using
    CALL TRANSACTION 'THE_TRANSACTION_ABOVE' ....... UPDATE 'S'.
    Am I correct? This is my conclusion so far.

  • Keep getting update messages but the update won't download

    On clicking to update in the the update widow, it looks to be attempting to do something but nothing downloads. I get the message to update almost everyday (3.6.16 I think). Also Firefox 4 "yahoo" won't install. On opening the application/update, it has a white circle with a line through the firefox logo, and won't drag to the applications folder.
    I'm using Mac OSX10.4.11

    Nah, going to the admin user to attempt the update in the way you suggest just shows that firefox4 is not compatible with Mac OS 10.4.
    But what I am really after os the so-called Yahoo optimised version, which in the system requirements says that 10.4 and Mac G4 is ok.
    So why the issue?
    In fact I had allready tried to do this install from the admin account.

    halo, iam using an ipad 2 and it was in version 4.3.5. Thought of updating it and went for it. While updating it shows error 4005 and i couldnt fix it. Can some one help me to fix this issue.

    You've tried the other things on those pages e.g. tried a different USB port on your computer and a different cable, tried the other pages that the first link
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.
    Check for hardware issues
    Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Do you have a different computer that you could try ?

  • Software Update Server and auto update

    I have found that if a workstation running Yosemite is set to receive OS X updates from a Software Update Server (OS X Server 4.0 on Yosemite), and is also set to install OS X updates automatically, the workstation neither installs the updates automatically nor gives notification that updates are available to install.  Has anyone else noticed this, and is there a fix?

    Really? I have a 100% reproducible case where installing Server disables local user automatic login. It doesn't grey out / disable the controls in the User panel, it just causes the system to completely ignore them.
    It does the same thing with the scheduled reboot capabilities in Energy. The options are still there, but if Server is installed they are ignored. I assume these are related - Server stopping desktop actions that are not normally good for servers.
    My system was working the way I wanted it for months, then I installed Server, and it stopped. If I drag Server out of Applications, a minute later I get the 'server being disabled...' dialog, and on the next reboot auto-login starts working again.
