How do I get incompatible updates to stop notifying me to update them?
Okay, so I'm running a mid 2010 Macbook Pro that originally came with OS Snow Leopard. I upgraded to Mavericks last summer and I got all the the new Pages, Keynote, etc. The first thing I have to start out with is that I used to LOVE my Mac. I now hate it. It drives me crazier than a Windows operating system with this constant "a new version of... is available" reminder that comes up when I open Pages, or Keynote, or whatever. The problem is, whenever I go to the app store to "update it" so it will stop yelling at me, they are all in the incompatible list. It's really annoying because this OS slowed my machine to a slug pace, and all of these update notifications causes my machine to freeze. And what I can't wrap my head around is the fact that this operating system is the second newest and these update notifications have been occurring pretty much since the release of Yosemite (which I'm positive my machine could NOT handle). I just don't understand how things can be incompatible already. That's the reason why I had to leave Snow Leopard: things weren't compatible on it anymore. However, programs lasted a heck of a lot longer than they do on this OS! Can someone please tell me how to either shut off the automatic update retrieval system, or maybe a way to update them so they'll be quiet?

I am using FCP 7.0.3 on my Mac Pro. I bought a new mac book pro and loaded the software on to the lap top but the software is 6.0.3. How do i get the update to the lap top?
.. and by the way, the jump from FCP 6.0.3 to FCP 7.0 (or higher) isn't an "update" It's a full version "upgrade" that has to be done using the install discs (or disc images).

How do I get a song to stop at the end in garageband on ipad 2?
When a song in Garageband (on ipad 2) reaches the end, it immediately loops back to the beginning and starts playing again. I'd like to use Garageband as an accompaniment to live performance. So, how do I get the song to stop (and not restart) at the end?
I really wish the Apple team would fix this. It's one of those nagging things that was overlooked, I would imagine, and no one but musicians that perform would notice.
Anyway, my workaround is this. I just put a really long silent space at the end of the song giving me time to stop it before it loops.
Hey ipad/garageband team - How about a new release of gargageband? -
How can I get an updated safari browser?
Hi. I have a Macbook Pro, Mac OS X, version 10.6.8; I am getting error messages about updating my browser. I checked the apple store to see if I could download a new version of Safari, but could not. How can I get an updated safari browser at this time without downloading the new OS X Yosemite. I know I might need to download the Yosemite, but would prefer to wait untill all the glitches are fixed. I have learned that the Yosemite may cause wifi failure and e-mail connection problems. Since I am not a computer expert, I don't need the headaches trying to figure out how what is wrong and how to fix a bug, so I would prefer to wait untill apple has totally fixed all the glitches that the Yosemite has. In the meanwhile, I just need to know how to go about updating a newer version of safari. I thing I have a 5.0
I would be greatfull for your help or response.
"New to this"
<Subject Edited by Host>Safari 5.1.10 is the newest version for Snow Leopard, and all available Mac OS X upgrades other than Yosemite require a purchase. You may want to switch to another browser, such as Firefox, temporarily.

I have a continuum and just had to do a factory reset. How do I get my updates back?
Like I said, I just had to do a factory reset. I've lost all my apps and stuff, but I don't care much about that. I'm back to having the "market" app instead of google play. How do I get the updates that my phone requires? I know there was a major one at some point quite a while back. I just need to know how to go about doing that.
Open the Market app and accept the terms and conditions of the app. The Market app will update to the Play Store. You can wait for it to update before going to your list of apps in the Market/Play Store to download them.

How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?
How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?
Thanks for the tip. If only I could find somewhere where I did not lose the signal.
I am based in the United Kingdom. The carrier is Orange.
I lose the signal inside buildings and outside of buildings. It happens at work and at home. It happens in Centarl London in the open air and inside. It happens in small towns.. It happens in the countryside. It happens in motor cars. It happens in airports. It happens when the battery is fully charged, when it is half charged and when it's low on charge. It happens using the phone, when reading messages and when using the internet.
Hope this helps. -
I have Elements 10 and a Nikon D7100. PSE10 CR 6.7 does not support the 7100 NEF. How can I get the updates to do this?
The D7100 requires camera raw 7.4 which is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 10.
Your two main options are
1) Buy a newer version of Photoshop Elements
2) Use the Adobe DNG converter to convert the NEF files to DNG files which can then be used by Photoshop Elements 10.
DNG Converter 8.8

My Iphone 5 says it has 7552 songs on it, however my iTunes only has 4125 on it. How do i get my phone to stop saying i have that many songs?
It seems to happen with songs that were purchased before synchronizing the new iPhone
I will tell you how I fixed it.
Note: I have iTunes in spanish so I will try to translate and figure out the commands that appear on ITunes in english. I will put my translations into brackets. English is not my native language. I will do my best.
The workaround is:
1.- Dragg no working songs from iTunes to a folder on the hard disk. (Only for backup purposes)
2.- Deleted those songs from iTunes library.
3.- On the left panel in ITunes click on "Purchased" under the STORE option. All your purchased songs will appear on the right panel
4.- At the bottom and right there is the option : "Download Previous Purchases". Click there.
5.- Click on the option "Are not in my Library" (top right)
6.- The songs you deleted from iTunes will appear.
7.- Downloaded them again. (You have the option to download at the bottom right)
8.- Syncronize your iPhone and that's all. -
I have 2 games Words with Friends and Cityville that receives a Pop-up message form iTunes... "Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications" and will not allow me to exit out of the app or play. How can I get this message to STOP?
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.

Verify that you're using an Intel Mac, click here, buy the DVD, install it, and run Software Update. If you're on a PowerPC Mac, you can't.

How do i get my computer to stop making a fan noise
how do i get my computer to stop making a fan noise?
Is the computer hot? If so then do this:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
If the computer is not hot, then try resetting the SMC - Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC).
Finally, try running diagnostics:
Using Apple Hardware Test
OS X Mountain Lion- Use Apple Hardware Test

How do i get my computer to stop instantly recognizing my iphone???
okay so my sister and i have two separate iphones and recently found out that her computer is recognizing it as the same one, so we are running out of storage space very quickly. how do i get my phone off of it or how do i get her computer to stop recognizing my phone as that account? please help
Well that's the thing, it's not that... We set it up when I got my phone to sync with her account so I could get her music, but now I want my own because it's combining our space that's being used. I could tell because it says there are 1007 photos on that phone when that's our photos combined. I just want my own phone to recognize so it's not using up my storage.
