How can I prevent automatic software updating iWork apps

I am one of the many users who hates the new iWork apps and have reverted to iWork 9. But I get reminded everytime a new version comes out and I risk updating to the new versions if I do not notice that.
How can I remove these apps so that I never get an automatic update. (I've hidden them from the list of apps but that doesn't help.)

I believe what you are looking for is this...
System Preferences---> App Store---> uncheck the "Automatically check for updates"
Or any one of those you wish to not have.
I don't know how it happened. But I have both iWork '09 as well as the latest. I just opened Numbers for '09 for the first time for this thread. It told me of a brand new update, blah blah blah. So I selected the box not to tell me again. I can quit the program and open it back up, of course it won't tell me about the new update. I also have both versions of Numbers opened right now.
It would appear that my Mac created a folder labeled "iWork '09" with Keynote, Numbers and Pages in it. All of which are from '09
I also have the "Automatically check for updates" marked in System Preferences. I don't get any notifications either. So maybe you could keep this marked, download and install the newer version and still have both on your Mac.

    How can I undo a software update?

    That indicates something went wrong. Make sure no anti-virus software or firewalls are running on your system. Make sure iTunes is up to date. Then, follow the directions here to force the phone into recovery mode & restore it:

  • How can I tell what Software Update Groups are members of Deployment Packages?

    I have a single SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4 server running on Windows Server 2012.
    I am trying to clean things up a little bit and I am curious:
    How can I tell which Software Update Groups use
    which Deployment Packages?  I don't see it on the Properties of either one.
    Thanks!

    Funny thing is that you can't see from the software update (in the software update group) in which deployment package(s) it exists. Your only options are manually comparing every single update (not really an option), or use PowerShell and do something
    like this:

  • HT2404 How can I stop the Software Update madness??

    I recently bought an Epson printer to replace my broken HP printer.  I uninstalled all the HP-related software, but I still am getting prodded by Software Update to update software I no longer have!  How can I stop the Software Update madness??

    There are literally thousands of sites with videos (linked to from yet thousands more) that will prompt you to "upgrade" or update your already updated Flash Player. This is the most common method of delivery for malware like that.
    A friend who runs a PC Repair business told me that if you've updated your Flash Player and you see a warning in a web page that you need to download an update to watch a video, it's an attack site.
    A simple gesture of holding your mouse over the warning or link, will indicate the address it points to. If it DOESN'T say Adobe anywhere in the beginning of the address (download.adobe.com, or adobe.com/downloads), it's a forgery, and you should leave that page immedaitely. If you download and install whatever they link you to, it may play the content you were looking for, but you've just been infected with something that may lay dormant for months and then suddenly take over your whole system.
    If you use your PC for work, you're really in trouble.

  • How can I stop the software updater pop ups advising me to update to 11.0.03?

    Can anyone help with how to stop the software updater pop ups advising me to update to Reader 11.0.03? My antivirus advises the link in the pop up is unsafe, so I went to the Adobe website to update from Reader 9. The website doesn't offer X1, but did offer X, so I updated to 10.1.7.
    Why is the site not offering a download for X1?
    Even though I have updated to X I am still getting the pop ups for X1. I have attached a screen shot of the pop up - is this legitimate or some kind of scam carrying a virus?
    Thanks.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • HT1338 How can I start a software update from scratch?  error states that it was corrupted during transfer but when it starts over later, it still give the same error

    Software updates tells me it needs to download and install a new version of itunes.  When this notice first appeared the download started but stopped after about 34 MB and said the download was corrupted.  Later (after many restarts), the notice appears again but the download starts where it left off and immediately gives me the message that it is corrupted.  How do I force the download to start over from scratch?

    Check the version you're being offered, and go to Apple Support Downloads.
    Read the info on the update and decide if you actually need it. (if your OS version is 10.6.4 as shown in your info, I doubt that you will need it at all).
    The latest update I can find for iTunes is here; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1426

  • How can I remove Apple Software update from Programs in Control Panel. I grt a message that there is an error in Windows Installer Package?

    I get this message: "A program required for this install to complete could not be run.
    There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package". OS, Windows 7-64

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • SCCM - How can we sync old software updates that are older than two, three years. I would like to know even if that is possible

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to sync older updates in the SCCM 2007 R2?. If yes than can some one share the links or any information on the same. That would be really helpful.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    SCCM 2007 will synchronize all updates that you can deploy, that is not superseeded or expired, There is no way to deploy an update that is expired. In Configuration Manager 2012 you can control when a superseeded update is expired, in SCCM 2007
    you cannot.
    If you need to deploy an update that is superseeded or expired I would recommend that you download it manually and deploy it as a package instead.
