How can I eliminate auto messages with Software Update

All,
I constantly get popups for Software Updates, like several times a day and want to eliminate them. And/or select what software to update, as a lot of it is old that I don't have anymore.
I've tried several option in the System Prefs but none seems to work.
(also, unrelated, how can I get an email for responses?)
Thanks

At he top of this page, click on 'Your Stuff' and select 'profile'.
On the right of that page is a block with various 'actions', one of which is managing email notifications.

  • Error message with Software Update

    Hi everyone. I'm getting the following error message when trying to download some items via Software Update:
    "None of the checked updates could be saved. A networking error has occurred: Cannot open file (-3001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again."
    This is for the following downloads:
    iPhoto 7.1.4
    iDVD 7.0.2
    iMovie 7.1.4
    Security Update 2008-005
    Any ideas? I have no problems with Internet access at all. I'm running a new 24" Intel iMac 3.06 GHz with Mac OS 10.5.4
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hi baltwo.
    I was able to manually download the iPhoto, iDVD and iMovie updates from the Apple website and install them with no problem.
    After I downloaded the Security Update 2008-005 and tried to install it I get the following error message:
    "You cannot install Security Update 2008-005 (Intel) on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
    Is this why the other downloads were prevented? I've never had problems with Software Update before.

  • How can i delete or remove a software update message?

    I have an iPhone 4 S. I received the message to upgrade the Software from 7.2.1 to ios 8.1. But i will not do so. Now this message is always visible. How can I deet or remove this recommendation of Software upgrade?

    I don't believe it's possible through any easy means. The only way I've done it is by restoring the device *as new*, not using a backup...the backup may in fact contain the update flag as well if you've made the backup with the update flag in place. If so, it will be restored to the device as well.
    If you know you have a backup made *before the update flag was triggered*, you can restore using that backup and the flag should be gone.
    However, after all is said and done and you actually *do* remove the update flag, it will again be pushed to the device unless you block Apple's update server from communicating with the device.

  • When slides are updated within a MS Sharepoint slide library, how can you force an alert with the updated slide version going to users who have previous slide versions on their hard drive?

     How can you hardcode/force that when a slide within a slide library (in Sharepoint 2010) is updated, that an alert is sent to the user who downloaded the slide to their hard drive so that they may replace the outdated slide with the recently
    updated slide. There is a tic box option to set when downloading slides from a sharepoint slide library into power point that ensures alerts are sent when the presentation is opened allowing for replacement of the slide. But, it is an option. How can that
    be hardcoded are forced on all slide library users who download slides from the shrepoint library into power point? Is there a workflow that can be written in Sharepoint or an option in power point to do this? Please advise. Thanks.

    Two things to check:
    Add the network folder location as a trusted location in your Flash Global Security settings and then see if the videos will play.
    If the first suggestion doesn't work, get in touch with your network admin dudes and find out if FLV files are disabled from working over the network from that location.  Many times unless a given file format is enabled on a network, the server assumes it's not desirable and won't serve it.

  • How can you restore photos lost during software update on iTunes?

    How do you restore or even find photos lost during software update of iphone 4 on iTunes?

    Why did you not back it up before performing the update? Did you perform the update on a computer other than the one you normally sync with?
    As already stated, if you didn't back it up, the data is now gone.

  • How can i restore my ipodtouh with out updating it

    so my ipod is running on 5.01 IOS and i want to restore it with out updating it to 5.1.
    When i click on restore button it tells me it will update and restore it which its really annoying me now.
    i use Itouch 4g 8GB IOS5.0.1

    It is not illegal but no supported by Apple and this is an Apple forum. It voids the warranty and violates the licence that you aggreed to. Here is Apple's postion
    Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

  • How can I eliminate Error Message?

    When I turn on or restart my computer, the following error message appears twice on my screen:
    Transport Monitor
    Could not complete your request
    (-4960)
    It does go away if I press return for each message, but it always returns when I turn on the computer.
    Thank you for any help you can offer!

    Searching http://www.apple.com/support for Transport Monitor error, I find that it relates to communicating with peripherals such as Palm devices. Are you using the latest Palm software and are you sure that there aren't other devices which might be interfering with the connection?

  • How can i undo the latest ios7 software update for my iphone4? It completely screwed up my phone!

    I updated my iPhone 4 a few days ago to the latest operating system, iOS7. I've always proceed with the operating system updates because I assumed there were security fixes included as well as other fixes that were supposed to make the system run better. I haven't had any significant problems with updates in the past, except for some minor differences in appearance that didn't bother me.  This time but the update appears to have completely screwed up my phone.
    My first complaint is, where the **** did all of my apps go?? I paid for them, and now they're gone. Are they hiding in the iCloud? I had over 3 screens of apps, and now I've only got 1 screen.
    My second complaint is, what was wrong with the appearance of the interface and icons in the previous version? The new system has gone with opaque pastel-colered icons that, frankly, I don't like as much as the icons in the previous system.  And why does there have to be a gray band on the bottom row of icons?
    My third complaint is everthing else on the phone is screwed up. Nothing works like it did before. Most of the photos I had on my phone have disappeared (iCloud??) Granted, my complaints about the appearance may seem trivial, but this is really annoying.
    Can I reverse the iOS7 "downgrade" and go back to the good old days with the previous version when everything worked just fine and I was able to access all of my apps?

    This never happened before, however the last couple of months it comes up every time I plug my USB from PC to iphone.

    HyperNova Software,
    Thank you so much.  Because I am very computer illiterate, could you help me on how to get started?  I don't have the slightest on where to get started, the steps to follow, etc.
    Can't thank you enough for your help!

    While composing email, keep getting "Unable to save as a draft" every 30 seconds. I've disable auto save and it didn't help.How can I stop this message?

    Mike,
    Thank you for taking the time to look at my app. This is my last major stumbling block that I have to resolve for this and other forms in the app.
    Actually, I did use the Form Wizard for Auto DML to originally create the form. It was great. It created most of the Buttons, Items and Validations automatically (basically most of the page). I just needed to create some Processes and Computations. Two of which were the Processes to update the 'create_dt' and 'created_by' fields and 'update_dt' and 'updated_by' fields. The Create process updates the fields just fine.
    However, my problem seems to be that the Hidden 'create_dt' and 'created_by' fields aren't picking up the values from a record that is being editted. Then when I attempt to save the record those fields are NULL, causing the DB NOT NULL constraint to throw an exception for those fields. In the back of my mind I seem to remember seeing some post stating something to the effect that the information in fields with a Source Type of Database Column is just displayed and does not affect Session State items.
    Even with that, I am still wondering just why the 'created_by' Page Item shows the value that is in the DB record being updated, but the 'create_dt" does not (as can be seen in my first posting). It is the 'create_dt' Page Item (:P205_CREATE_DT) not having the DB records 'create_dt' info in it that appears to be the problem.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    open -e /etc/hosts
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Paste into a Terminal window by pressing command-V. A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1                              localhost
    255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
    ::1                                        localhost
    Below that, you may see some other lines. The first 9 lines should be exactly as above, apart from differences in the blank space within lines. Otherwise you can't use this procedure—STOP and ask for guidance.
    If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
    sudo sed -i~ '10,$d' /etc/hosts
    You may be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. Quit Terminal.
    If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
    That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".

    Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications.  I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone.  I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups.  I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either.  Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.
