How do I hide unwanted update downloads

I want to know how to hide or remove an unwanted update download from Apple, that has no relevance to me or my computer ie:
"Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.07, Security Update 2013-002 1.0", as I do not own any of the cameras that this update supports...

Hello Dah,veed,
Thank you for the advice...
I have tried right clicking over the update notification, but all it does is flash and no contexual menu appears to hide the update...

How do I remove unwanted Update Downloads?

When I was using Tiger I had all the automatic updates unchecked. When I upgraded to Leopard they got checked. It had been so long since doing that in Tiger I forgot I had done it. Now I have about 1G worth of unneeded updates: Airport, etc., for programs/services I don't use.
Where are these update downloads and how can I delete them?

If you have Download important updates automatically checked in System Preferences/Software Update you will see the updates that have automatically downloaded and are waiting to be installed.
That's a setting I haven't enabled. As I'm maintaining several Macs, I prefer to download Apple's updates from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads , then apply them to each computer. I just use Software Update to remind me of an update I might have forgotten to apply.
I don't use Front Row (don't even know what it is) and I don't use Airport. I should update these anyway?
I suppose there's a good argument that you could ignore updates like those. However, sometimes an update that seems to be focused on a particular area will affect things in another area.

Captfred,
Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately no hide option is available by right clicking the Motion 5.0..4. update.
Seems strange that this does not appear to have been included, unless I'm missing something.

How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store?

How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store? So you understand better what I'm referring to:
I have the App Store icon in the Dock. When there's an update a red number appears on said icon. Well, I went to check on the updates and it's for 4 different applications I either no longer have or use. One of them is an update for Lion OS users. I'm still on Snow Leopard, so it doesn't even apply to me.
So there they sit... I'm not going to download the updates... so how do I get rid of them?

Hi Andy ..
no longer have or use
If there are updates available for apps you have deleted, try this.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
Move the Cache.db and Updates files from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
Empty the Trash, restart your Mac.
For any apps you still have installed but do not use, the updates will still be available from the Updates top of the App Store window and show on the red badge on the App Store icon in the Dock.

HT4623 How can I save the update download file as I have several devises to upgrade and cant afford the bandwidth to do each via iTunes

How can I save the update download file as I have several devises to upgrade and cant afford the bandwidth to do each via iTunes.
There does not appeare to be any doenloadable files in the download section.

"Well that's totally unacceptable."
Actually you can only accept it, as it is the way it is. You may not like it, but it is so. Sorry.
" your seriously telling me that Apple expect me to download the same huge file 8 TIMES"
That is exactly what I am telling you.
" No way."
Still true.
"Apple are going to have to come up with another solution."
No. They do not have to do any such thing. They may choose to do so in the future, but there is no reason to believe that they will.

How do I disable automatic update download and application?

I was on FF5 and went to Check for Updates ... then it automatically grabbed an update and asked me to restart. I didn't want the update... I just wanted to know if there was one available or not.
I killed firefox hoping to avoid the auto-installation of the new code... but, as you know, as soon as I started firefox, it updated to FF6... now my Java 6.0.26 and Acrobat CreatePDF are broken.
6.0.26 is the latest version of Java, so apparently there's no fix there and the Acrobat update requires a new purchase!
This is insane! How can I check for updates without committing to the installation of a new update until I am ready and have confirmed, in advance, that my plugins are compatible?
How can I step back to the last "known good" configuration?
Thank you,
Michael

Thanks for the suggestion. It makes sense. Unfortunately, my wife will be using the iMac while I'm gone, so she would have to forward what she thought was important. Seems odd to me that the Manual command doesn't seem to do anything.

How do you remove unwanted updates???

Hi,
I have the game Bejeweled HD on my I-Pad original running IOS 5.1.1. There is a new update for Bejeweled HD available. When I updated my app, the app crashes upon starting. Therefore, I uninstalled the app and re-installed the previous version from my I-Tunes account.
However, now on the App Store icon, there is always a red "1" on the icon saying there is an update available. And of course that update is for Bejeweled HD which I don't want because it doesn't work.
Is there any way of removing the "Unwanted" update or just hiding it? Is there a way to remove the red "1" on the App Store icon?
Thanks.

Hi The best way is to Delete, the item ios 5.1.1 no longer, able to run this game, because of updates. time for new ipad if you can ipad Air 1 32g was £479.00 now £359.00 for 32G At John Lewis. Com 3year Warranty parts & labor Cheers Brian

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".

HT3847 How do I remove unwanted updates

on my "APP Store" APP from my Iphone 4. I wish to delete these annoying update signs and some purchases that i do not want

The only way to get rid of the update notifications is to delete the app or update the app.
The manual covers deleting.
You can hold an icon until they all wiggle then tap the "x".
Better yet, deselect the app in itunes and sync

How do I remove an unwanted update from the App Store?

Ok,
So I open the App Store and there's a update awaiting me. Some App called CodeBox by one Vadim Shpakovski version 1.6 Released 7 April 2012
So I check it over, check the app out and what it's all about. The App costs £6.99 and it's designed for developers. Simply I don't want the **** thing and I never applied or activated the app for purchase.
I've looked everywhere and there's no delete update or remove update.
Can anyone enlighten me as to how to remove the unwanted update?
Thanks All.

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Test.

do you know how to remove carrier settings updates downloaded from Itunes?
Thanks

The bottom of this document tells you where they are on your computer. I suppose you could delete them. There's nothing about deleting them from the phone.

Unwanted Updates

Hi guys.
I have a MacBook Pro , it runs 10.8.5
I recently uninstalled the app "Twitter", but there is an update available in the app store for it!
Another problem is that when I try to update it even if I had the app , it asked for the password of an unknown Apple ID!
I tried deleting the com.apple.appstore.plist file from ~/Library/Preferences/
but it didn't work.
I wanted to upgrade to OS X Yosemite , but the problem is that even if I upgrade my Mac to Yosemite , the update is still there(I tested it on another MacBook Pro , too!)
Sb told me you should delete some files from ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore ,
and sb else said that I should delete the _MASReceipt folder. But I can't find the folder in the package of the App store(Right Click->Show Package Contents)
and "Delete" it.

No , I do not have any pirated apps.
I just wanted to know how can i delete the _MASReceipt folder.Because I can't find it!
How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store? was a good resource but it didn't work.
Any way to get rid of that update?!

How do I hide or delete a deferred update?

I acidentally deferred an update that I meant to hide. I cannot figure out how to hide or delete it from the deferred list in System Update (latest version). This is on a T500 2081 running Vista 64.
Message Edited by kalnoc on 02-13-2009 10:21 AM

Hi,
sorry, somehow I missed this thread
Anyway, as first it's needed to define, what exactly you mean with "hide defered updates"?
Here is the situation, that is happeneing when using TVSU:
- once you start TVSU and defer, or update your system using some updates, then these updates are stored and downloaded to following direction:
%programfiles%\Lenovo\System Update\session
There you surelly see multiple folders, that are the same, as the name of the update package.
Ok, now you downoad an update with the defered option. So what happens is that this file is downloaded into this location. Now if you forget to install this deffered update and in meantime a new version of this particular update will be released, then you can start TVSU and again deffer this same update (but with newer version). In this situation, the old version will be no longer seen and you will have only the latest version visible, BUT the older version will not be deleted. It will still reside in the above mentioned location.
Please specify, what exactly you want to achieve.
Cheers
