How do I cancel an update do OSX 10.9.5?

Dear list members, I had serious trouble (crash, freezing) after updating my old iMac 27" (Late 2009) to OSX 10.9.5. Now I formatted my hard drive and fresh installed OSX 10.9.2. However, without me asking for it (I didn't turn on auto-update), the App Store downloaded OSX 10.9.5 and wants to update my system after a reboot (please see the screenshot). How do I cancel this update? I'm sure OSX 10.9.5 will make my iMac crash again, so I'd better wait for a debugged version, which will surely have to come soon, as several users are having similar problems. Thanks!

How can I cancel an update?

I decided to update to iOS 6.1.6 because I wanted an update on my software and it gave me the instructions to sync it to iTunes. I did so, but it is still there! Can anyone tell me how to cancel my update if possible?
I am using an iPod Touch 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3 i believe

Hey Severrassien, It is difficult to understand what or how you are updating. Can you include details as they appear on your iPod and computer. If I'm understanding-- you have physically connected your iPod to your computer with the charging cable, right? If so what version of iTunes are you running? Is it current, if not, update date iTunes first, then connect with your computer and from your iPod page tap on update. If this does not work, what are you being told from your computer and/or iPod? Are there any error messages? What are the messages? From what you have posted it's all I know to help you, (you have baffled Illaass and he is one of the best) more information would be helpful. Good luck. Cheers.

How can I cancel an update download once it has started?

Firefox asks me to download an update to version 3.6.24 every time I go online. I do not wish to do so at this time. However, I hit the download button by accident and it began the download. I have paused it, but I want to know how I may stop it altogether (for this time). I have a Mac.

The reply from cor-el assumes that the question was about an ordinary download, managed by the "Downloads" panel interface. A Firefox update does its downloading (before installation) with a different interface panel. I do not have a screen-capture of the actual panel in that it's appearance happened a few days ago and our final approach was to suspend the automatic download (note that that had been started in error), and then to do all the manual steps we usually would do for a deliberately, manually-started, update. But the "hanging in mid-air" update forced us to do that update in a way and at a time that we ordinarily would not do it.
I still contend that the Firefox update progress panel (whatever it is labelled) does *'''NOT*''' have any obvious cancellation interface, not even the "x" noted above. (... and if it *only* had an "x", in my opinion that would not be a sufficiently obvious interface as compared to having a "Cancel" button.)
I am replying in this thread on behalf of "shepdog" as I am our local desktop support for the particular Macintosh. Please consider this reply as a mark that the reply from cor-el, while it was a correct answer, was not an answer to the particular question that was asked, i.e., "Not Helpful".

I just updated my itunes and I hate it! How can I cancel the update and go back?

I just installed the most recent update and it's terrible. How can I go back?

If you have a Mac OS, you can use Time Machine to restore your settings. If you have Windows, use System Restore, which you can access by typing "System Restore" into the field at the bottom of the menu bar after clicking the Start menu.

How do you cancel Firefox updates

I want to block certain sites and videos but everytime Firefox updates the add ons become obselete and have to be updated to block sites and videos.
I am not here everyday so when I miss the updates, access to blocked sites and videos is activated again.

Depending on your OS, in Firefox, go to Options->Advanced->Updates tab and set accordingly.
And look at this KB article, for more info.

Keynote has been updating for days, how do i cancel?

I haven't changed anything on my computer but Pages and Keynote will not open and it says they are updating. I have tried restarting and shutting down completely andit is not working. How do I cancel the update?

Hi CayleighSydney,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are attempting to update Pages and Keynote but the process will not complete. This has been going on for days and when you try to open them it says they are still updating. There may be a few different steps I would suggest in this situation to get this resolved for you. The first thing I would do would be to check the Purchases pane of the Mac App Store and make sure Pages and Keynote updates are not paused. If they are, you can resume the updates. The following article has information on resuming updates if you need it for reference.
Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4485
If necessary, you may need to uninstall the applications and re-download them fresh from the Mac App Store. The following article has information on how to uninstall. Once they are uninstalled and the trash is emptied, you can go back to the Purchased pane of the Mac App Store and re-download them fresh.
OS X Mountain Lion: Install, update, and uninstall apps
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph11356
Uninstall apps
To uninstall apps you purchased from the Mac App Store, hold down an app’s icon in Launchpad until all the icons begin to jiggle. Click an app’s delete button (x) to uninstall the app.If an icon doesn’t have a delete button, that app can’t be uninstalled. For example, apps that come with OS X can’t be uninstalled.
To uninstall other apps, drag the app to the Trash (the Trash is located at the end of the Dock), and then choose Finder > Empty Trash.If you change your mind, before emptying the Trash, select the app in the Trash, and then choose File > Put Back.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

How can we cancel Firefox attempts to load new version of Firefox or successfully load it

Firefox is attempting to load the new version of Firefox and keeps failing, with this message showing. "Updates can`t be installed, make sure no other copies of firefox are running on computer then restart. When you X out or click on OK, it tries again and keeps repeating this cycle, not letting us connet to the internet. How can we cancel the update attempts or successfully load the new version so we can access the internet sgain

If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the 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
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

MacOS 10.4.11- Unable to update to current recommended Firefox because OS10.5.x is required. Cannot go to 10.5.x, what Firefox should I be running and what security update? And how do I get these updates?

MacOS 10.4.11- Unable to update to current recommended Firefox because OS10.5.x is required. Cannot go to 10.5.x because of various software used that is not 10.5 compatible, what Firefox should I be running and what security update? And how do I get these updates?

OSX 10.4 isn't the only limiting factor that you have, Firefox 4+ versions need an Intel processor.
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

Firefox 3.6.25 has basically the same security updates that the latest Firefox 9 version has - far better then what you now have.

There is no safe way. If it's been underway a while don't. If it's been underway no more than 5 minutes, then you can force quit the installer by pressing COMMAND-OPTION-ESC, select the installer application, then click on the Force Quit button.

Software update does not work when I try to update from OSX 10.6.8 to OSX 10.7. How do I update?

How do you update from OSX 10.6.8 to OSX 10.7? Software update app does not perform update.

That's because 10.7 is not an update, it is an upgrade that you have to buy by using the App Store app, not by using the Software Update.
It costs $19.95: http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
