Cannot cancel an Apple Update in Windows7?

cannot cancel an Apple Update program window from running in Windows7 - will not disappear?

This happened to me when updating to IOs 6 on my iPhone 4, somehow update started to update "all" (a specific app download froze,when wi-fi reconnected I entered my password again and "update all" started on its own!)
It was simple really, when you see the update kick in (blue line filling in) just press the icon for that app and hold it until the X delete button pops up (you will see all your icons shaking) Delete the app, this will remove the app from the iphone and stop the update. Then go to iTunes then Apps, you will see the app you deleted unchecked. Check it and sinc the iPhone. Voila! The key is to do your updates from your iPhone and not directly from iTunes so that when you sinc the iPhone from iTunes it will install the old version.

Cannot connect to Apple update server although the internet is working properly

Did anyone find a fix? iPhone connects, and on the Mac Air (with OSX 10.7.4) Safari gives me NSPOSIX Error Domain:1. Skype on the same Mac Air seems to be working fine.
It started just this morning, occasionally at first, and now looks like constantly.
I've cleaned Safari cache, checked DNS, restarted computer, restarted router. Nada.

I called Apple tech support and spoke to David, who was very helpful. Removing Symantec products fixed it for me.
First thing we did was a 'Safe Boot'. Turned the computer off, and as it restarted, pressed the Shift key. That starts just the core of the Operating System without any add-ons. Safari worked just fine. So the problem was narrowed down to third-party installed applications.
Things we then tried:
Removing Computer > Library > Caches directory and <User Home> > Library > Caches directory. (The Library folder is hidden by default. In a new Finder window, I clicked 'Go' and pressed the Options key to see the Library directory.)
We also cleaned out Safari data.
Checked to see no unnecessary plug-ins were installed in the Library > Internet Plug-ins directories.
Checked out the LaunchAgents directory in the Library directories to make sure nothing "funky" was kept there.
Restarted.
None of it solved the problem.
So finally, he asked me to try uninstalling Symantec products. I went into Applications > Symantec Solutions folder and started the Uninstall program. Restarted computer. *Browser back to normal!* Apparently, some Symantec firewall setting may have become corrupted, preventing the browser from going to the internet.
I have since reinstalled Symantec, and so far things seem fine.

I want to cancel my apple account

I want to cancel my apple account

It's amazing but you cannot cancel an Apple ID. You can call support, but they cannot cancel an account! Dissassociate it from iTunes. Any purchaces on the account will be lost. Delete all personal information and any alternate email address. Next save.. now for the last step, change the primary email address to @noemail.com or something. This will change the Apple ID. Once you logout, the account will essentially be gone. To gain access, use the fake email and your password. Since the email won't verify, you will need to change it to a real email and verify if you ever want to regain access.

After Apple update Itunes is gone & cannot be re-installed

I ran Apple Update when it popped up saying there was a new Itunes and Quicktime so I said install. Halfway through it asked me for my Itunessetup.msi so I pointed to it in the installer temp directory and it says it is not valid MSI file. I can do nothing but cancel as I cannot use an older MSI so my PC is screwed.
I tried using system restore even and that does not work.
Basically Apple Update has made my system useless for my Ipod unless I want to do a complete re-load of windows. I even did full uninstall of ALL apple software, killed ALL registry keys for APPLE and Itunes, restarted and still Itunes will not install.
Anyone have a fix or work around without complete Windows reload????

Hi Jes,
I appreciate your kind concern for me and my situation. Please note that I did these steps on our TEST environment. This is NOT the system experiencing the originally reported problem. It is not the system where I have pages I need to retrieve. We have a series of nearly identical environments used for different purposes in our application development /qa/ production life cycle. TEST is a pair of smaller boxes we use for trying out new versions, applying patches, proving stuff to support etc.
My point is that there seems to be a reproducable issue here when re-installing 2.0 after 3.0 has been installed. A clean 3.0 unistall ON A FULLY FUNCTIONAL 3.0 system, followed by a clean 2.0 install should not yeild a flows object that cannot be recompiled.
My real hope is the someone might be able find me an unwrapped copy of WWV_FLOW_GEN_API2. With that I could see the compilation error and perhaps fix the problem.

I think you were on the right trail and I want to say thanks for your help. Much appreciated

I downloaded the latest iTunes software update and it properly installed. But, I cannot close the update window showing it was completed and the blue completion bar is full but cannot cancel or close it either. Any ideas on how to clear that out and close the window. Tried to quit on both the big window and the software update title in the menu bar. No luck.

Tried that by shutting down via the power button only as the normal shutdown was nixed by the open window issue. It did not help. Found a very similar question in the discussions and it recommended "Force Quit". That worked and the update works normal and the window is gone. Thanks!

Try installing the Epson drivers from here:

and then seeing if adding and printing with USB works.
This site really works and my computer is now printing.

Hi gnaksung,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It seems like you're trying to update iTunes 10 on your Mac, but the update options are not working.
You may find the troubleshooting tips and download method in this article helpful with updating iTunes:
Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X - Apple Support
If you're currently using OS X 10.6.8, see this link for the iTunes 11.4 download, which is the latest version that can be installed:
iTunes 11.4 for OS X 10.6
Sincerely,
Jeremy

Can't you cancel it on a computer?

A reminder to update "Growl" keeps popping up but cannot find on Apple site.

It is probably the app itself that is giving you the update notice. You must have installed it at some point in the past, maybe accidentally. I had the same thing happen a while back. Unfortunately I don't recall what I did to get rid it.

Cannot remove older version of Apple Update to reinstall Itunes, tried control panel, no help, what do I do

Message: "Cannot remove older version of Apple Update" when trying to reinstall Itunes. Tried using add remove programs in control panel, no help. Tried installing new quicktime, same message -- what do I do to get Itunes working again on my computer, using Windows xp

I'm glad I put a smile on your face Stuff like this can drive me nuts.
As I went to bed last night, I thought the same thing as you, to try a system restore. Otherwise, to answer the rest of your question, in XP, the location of the Update is in your Program Files/Apple Software Update.
To find the hidden files that may be stopping you from disabling the updater, and doing a clean install, go to:
My Computer, and on the Menu bar, click Tools/Folder Options/View/Show Hidden Files and Folders/click Apply/OK then double click on your main drive (C:) then Documents and Settings/your user name/Application Data/ and delete the Apple computer folder with it iTunes and Preferences.
Also in that previous views Local Settings/Application Data/Apple (Update Software)and also Apple Computer/iTunes.
Go back to Documents and Settings (again from C: drive mode) click on All Users/Application Data/Apple and if you open up Installer Cache, you will also see that it has an Apple Updater in it (unless it was uninstalled on the original uninstall). Also from that Application Data window, you will see Apple Computer Folder which has previous iTunes info that needs to be deleted. Some of these folders may be gone, but at least you can check to see, to make sure.
Here is a link from another post, to confirm or help clear up any of my paths/solutions.
When you've done all that, restart your PC, and I would run CCleaner (the free version links are just below the Buy and Download button) just to clean things up, and try your re-install.
Hope I didn't overwhelm you.

I downloaded the Mac Guard malware today. Then downloaded Apple update to remove it. But it was compromised for like 3 hours. Do I need to cancel all my credit cards now? I'm so freaked out! Please help.

I downloaded the Mac Guard malware this am. Then downloaded Apple update to remove it this afternoon. But it was compromised for like 3 hours. Do I need to cancel all my credit cards now? I'm so freaked out! Please help.

If you supplied name, card number, expiry etc. then your details are already available for sale/abuse and you should cancel at once.

Yes, I had the same problem and resolved by the method suggested by Toccolo...... thanks.
