How can I stop these update notices?

I keep getting told that there are software updates, but when I go there, it is something I don't need. For example, I keep getting told that there is a digital camera RAW compatibility update. I don't need this, as I don't even have a digital camera. However, if I don't update, it just keeps telling me, so I just update and it goes away, for a while.
I used to be able to stop this by setting the system to ignore these updates, but it seems I can no longer do that. Is there anything I can do about it?

The OP may have his Software Update setting in System Preferences set to automatically check for updates.
Advice to OP, accept the software updates if you want your system to continue running well.

  • Several times a month, when I go to open Firefox, it says "wait installing new updates". After they are installed, Firefox won't open, it says "page not found." I have to then reload Firefox. How can I stop these updates?

    Before Firefox open the little window opens saying"wait installing new updates." Then after when opening Firefox, my home page says "can't find this page. I have plugged in the address: http://www.google.com/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official and it Firefox still won't open. I have to run the Firefox setup 3.6.3 on my desktop, to get Firefox to open on my home page. I would like to stop these automatic Updates from running; how?

    Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

    We will need more information to be able to assist you.
    These message yoy are receiving are probably just a particular type of spam.  However it is also possible (unlikely) that your email account is being used to send spam, and that these are the bounce messages.
    To tell the difference, you need to look at the email headers.  Open the message, then go to the View menu and select Message -> All Headers.
    Select the text and post it back here (remembering to obscure your own email address first).

  • I've installed Version 5, but at least once a day I keep getting notices to update to Version 3.1.11. Why? How can I stop these?

    I installed Version 4, and then Version 5, and now at least once a day I get a notice to update to Version 3.1.11. I get this on my office computer and also at home. Why is this happening and how can I stop it?

    I had to wait until it happened again, but it finally did, and I solved the problem. Boy was I stupid! It wasn't a plugin, it was ''Thunderbird'' 3.1.11. And I never noticed! Thank you all

  • How can I stop these weird inert file images from appearing on my desktop?

    Inert file images keep appearing and cluttering up my desktop with names such as: 3FV2JEQy.JPG.part;  9wA_fwAk.JPG.part;  MpxSEQgY.jpg.part   etc.
    It seems to me that they are related to viewing photos from emails with "Preview". (They could be photos from iPhoto also. I cannot be certain).
    My desktop fills up with these weird inert file images and I have to go thru and delete them to clear the mess on my desktop. How can I stop this from occurring??
    Many thanks.

  • How can I stop community updates from sending to my inbox

    Hi
    Even though I disabled the email preferences not to send email notifications when someone starts a new discussions, Apple keeps  sending me updates regardless of my preference setting which is not to receive updates.
    This started yesterday for no apparent reason, it has been fine for months, now my inbox has 1500 messages since yesterday. I have been deleting them but it is driving crazy, it is like a SPAM.
    How can I contact Apple that there is a bug with their Community updates notifications system? As if it was not bad enough with Apple Maps!
    Since Steve has departed Apple have become more prone to errors.

    Jeff:
    My Operating system is Windows XP, Version 2002, with Service Pack 3.
    My Add/Remove Programs list shows that I have Reader 9,4,4, Flash Player 11 ActiveX, Photoshop elements 6, and Acrobat.com.
    My browser is Windows Internet  Explorer 6
    The updates do not give me a choice as to which program to apply the update to.  I guess I never get that far.

  • Can I interrupt an automatic update to iPhoto? If so, how? And how can I stop automatic updates? This current update has been running for over 4 hours now. I have a MacBook Pro w/OSX 10.9.1

    Can I interrupt an automatic update to iPhoto? Also, how can I turn OFF  automatic updates?

    as Larry said, just a caution about the App Store Preferences:
    If you do not want your software to update automatically, disable "Install app updates".  But better not disable the option "Install system data files and security updates".  If there are security updates available, it is important to get them installed asap.

  • I've started getting pop-under ads every time I launch Firefox, and the uninstall instructions don't make sense, how can I stop these?

    In the past couple of weeks, every time I launch Firefox, a full-size pop-under ad is also launched, regardless of what site I'm browsing.
    The original ad was for a You Tube survey, and contains a link to coupondropdown.com, where there's a menu option for uninstalling. The uninstall instructions don't make sense, they don't mention what ad-on is controlling the ads, and I can't work out what's responsible for the ads from my very basic range of ad-ons.
    The reason I'm writing is that the ads have progressed from annoying but harmless, to dangerous. The ad today was designed as a warning pop-up, text reads, "Threat Detected: Immediate Action Required. Fatal Registry Error ... click "Repair All" to eliminate all possible threats and clean your PC". I have screenshots of all the above.
    I'm worried that another user, my son or mother, might take this warning seriously and install malware by accident. What can I do to prevent these ads? I expect this type of malware advertising on dodgy websites, but I'm getting them when I try to access hotmail, the news, etc, so it's not the website that's causing them.

    Found the source using Microsoft Safety Scanner on a full scan. The culprit was a Trojan:Win32/Sirefef!cfg

  • How can we stop these errors

    %SYS-4-P2_WARN: 1/Invalid traffic from multicast source address 07:ae:00:02:d3:02 on port 1/2
    I'm seeing lot of these errors on my 4006s, I know it is multicast mac address being the source address. CCO doesn't give enough information to troubleshoot this. Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    Enabling multicast or an RP won't help because, ultimately, the switch is complaining because it sees a frame with a src multicast MAC address as invalid.
    I have seen cases where certain types of applications that communicate with other nodes (load balancers, firewalls, server clustering, etc.) will send heartbeats or hellos using a multicast source address.
    If you have such devices in your network, you may want to check there. I did a search on the MAC address you referenced, but could not find anything that points to a specific application or vendor.

  • How can I stop the update to Internet explorer 9 pop up window that appears every time I open my Firefox, I don't want Explorer 9. Help!
