How to disable app updates

How can I disable the app updatesnotifications? I usually update all the apps when ever I get an update notification, but if I get a lot of apps to update and i try to update them all, i get a message that says I don't have enough space to update all. I then have to go through and hand pick which ones to update or deleate some. The updates just continue to pile up and I have to pick and choose again. Is there a way to disable the app updates all together or would thst cause the apps to not work correctly?

Is there a way to at least hide the update notification number that just keeps increasing if you can't update them all to get rid of it?

I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update so I can use the store.

If Software Update is offering the update then it would be compatible with your model. Unfortunately, you haven't provided us with any information on your hardware that would enable us to determine if it really is too old.
If you really wish to disable the update alert then the next time Software Update opens, select the update in the list then select "Ignore update" from SU's Update menu.

How to disable App Caching in 10.9

Hi All,
As much as I think that the new memory management system in OS X 10.9 is a very nice idea, it really doesn't work for me because I have Virtual Machines stopping and starting and the despite the fact that they are only trying to pull 512MB each, the system just can't handle pushing that much to them.
Is there a way to disable this app/file caching and get back to something more to the style of the old memory management system - I really want to have FREE memory available for when I actually need it - I really don't care if free memory is wasted memory, free memory is what works for me
I have a Mid 2009 13" MBP with a 2.2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 8GB of RAM
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I can't bear my system grinding to a halt with several servers running in the background - the sort of thing that it could handle just fine under 10.8 - also, downgrading is not an option for me!

Unfortunately, no - App Nap only applies to running applications, and saving processing power and thus energy, whereas the app preloading is all about being clever about which files are in use and keeping as many as possible crammed into the memory.
However, disabling app nap is a useful thing to know, thanks!

How to disable App tabs (pined tabs) from being started automatically?

how to disable App tabs (pined tabs) from being started automatically?
because the option [Don't load tabs until selected] dose not work with it, and it keeps starting every time when I restart Firefox.
Please help me!

Don't bother, I reached to the solution by my self, you can do it as following:
Type "about:config" [ without quotation marks! ] in the Location Bar (address bar) and press Enter to display the list of preferences, as shown in the picture '''#1''' in Firefox 17 on Windows 7.
If you see a page with the warning message as shown in picture '''#2''', This might void your warranty!, click the button labeled "I'll be careful, I promise!", to continue (in fact, there is no warranty whatsoever, it's more a joke to ensure that users are aware of what they are about to do). uncheck the check-box there to avoid the warning in the future.
Now at the search bar in the picture '''#3''' type: ''tab'' and look for the
'''preference name:'''
browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand
or you can '''copy''' it directly to the search bar,
'''Next,''' follow the instruction in picture '''#3''' .
Just in case if the pictures didn't appear, do ''these steps'':
'''First:''' Right click at the preference name that we searched for.
'''Next,''' click Toggle to change the value from false to true.
'''Or,''' double click on it and it will change.
'''Finally,''' restart Firefox and you will notice that they don't load automatically until you click on it.
That's it, Good luck to all. ''';-)'''
'''Note''': The bolded font preferences list is the user modified, and the un-bolded is the default setting.
'''Warning''': Modifying preferences can, in rare circumstances, break Firefox, Thunderbird or the Mozilla Suite, or can cause strange behavior. Only do so if you know what you are doing or are following trustworthy advice.
Additional INFO:
about:config is a feature of Mozilla applications which lists application settings (known as preferences) that are read from the profile files prefs.js and user.js, and from application defaults. Many of these preferences are not present in the Options or Preferences dialog. Using about:config is one of several methods of modifying preferences and adding other "hidden" ones.

How to Disable Software Updates

One of my customers, a small school district, has an Xserver running OS X 10.6.6. All of the student and teacher MacBooks are also on this version. The district is deploying a program called DeepFreeze on the student laptops which will prevent them from saving any and all changes to the laptop. They have local administrative rights, but when the laptop is rebooted, it is like they never logged in. Therefore, Apple Software Updates are useless and really undesirable. They'll be downloading the same updates everyday. They can turn DeepFreeze off and run the updates, but this will not be on a scheduled basis. Is there a way through Workgroup Manager that I can disable the updates for the student group?

We turn that off in system preferences for each local account. I even build a DEFAULT template with it turned off. It works fine until we image the machine. Any new machine with that image, the Apple updates, Bluetooth are turned back on!!!
How do you keep them turned off after a restore? The original machine with the master image still works. they only turn back on after using the image of the master. Very annoying that every app on a mac has to search for updates all the time, then multiply that times a 1000 machines and a 15m internet connection. Do the math.
if anyone knows how to KEEP the settings after a restore, let me know.

Help~How to disable Adobe Updater in Reader 8.*/9.*?

Does anyone here know how to disable the Adobe Updater by registry or Group Policy?(if possible)
I won't like to manually disable them by "Help" -> "Check for updates"
The following registry key only works in 6.*/7.*
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0\Updater]
"bShowInstCompDialog"=dword:00000000
"bShowNotifDialog"=dword:00000000
"iUpdateFrequency"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\Updater]
"bShowInstCompDialog"=dword:00000000
"bShowNotifDialog"=dword:00000000
"iUpdateFrequency"=dword:00000000
Help~

I don't know where that preference item is stored. But if it's in the registry, I would do the following if I were in your situation.
*export the entire registry
*set the no-update preference, according to Aaron's suggestion
*export the entire registry again (to a different name)
*compare the two files (e.g. with windiff); that should show you what's changed in the registry

In the best "IT Speak", it should. But there is no way for us to know for certain.

How to Disable Auto Updates on Flash Player 10 using mms.cfg

Hi Friends,
I am a newbee into this.I am trying to install a customized Adobe Flash Player 10.2.153.1 in which auto updates are disabled. I went through the Adobe guidelines and found that it is possible to do the same using a MMS.CFG file. Can anyone tell me how exactly this would look like. I will be extremely thankful if someone can attach a sample of the same.
One more question...
When we disable auto updates using mms.cfg file, will this be updated in the Global Settings Manager ?
Tries from my end till now:
I tried to create a mms.cfg by editing a txt file and adding "AutoUpdateDisable=0 " and then saving teh same as mms.cfg using UTF-8 encoding. this didnt make any difference in the Global Settings manager.
Please help me...
Regards,
Dilip

No, I don't think so; these settings are stored in a different place.
Some users have reported that AutoUpdateDisable via mms.cfg does no longer work in Flash Player 10.3. Please check if this failure already occurs in Flash Player 10.2.

How to disable product update on Cisco AnyConnect mobility client

Hallo,
Do you anybody know how to disable/turn off "Checking for product update" during _every_ connecting Cisco Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client (VPN) to remote sites?
I found it may by possible on the ASA side, but I need to disable it on the client (computer). I can see that checking is NOT during connecting to my company site, but when connecting to ANY OTHER site everytime is new version checked. It takes some time ... and I need to switch between VPN often.
Thank you for your help!
Regards, Ondrej

You should be able to do this in the AnyConnect local policy. Just add (or edit, if you already have a local policy file) the following to the local policy file:

<anyconnectlocalpolicy acversion="2.4.140" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/encoding/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemalocation="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/encoding/ AnyConnectLocalPolicy.xsd">
<BypassDownloader>true</BypassDownloader>
</AnyConnectLocalPolicy>
The local policy file can be found here:
Windows Vista/7/8: C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\AnyConnectLocalPolicy.xml
Linux/Mac: /opt/cisco/anyconnect/AnyConnectLocalPolicy.xml
See the Enabling FIPS and Additional Security in the Local Policy section of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Administrator Guide, Release 3.1 for more details.

How can I remove updates in the apps?

You can't, just ignore it.
Unless you don't want the app at all, delete app from iPad and also the app in your iTunes library.

As far as I know, that's only possible if you don't have the app installed anymore on the phone. Let's see if Apple changed that in iOS5. If no, you can suggest this here: Apple - iPhone - Feedback

How to disable auto update jre-6u20 by script

Hi,
our users can not update java, because of domain-restrictions.
So they should not become the notification.
How can we disable auto update for version jre-6u20 by script?

Trying to figure out the same thing. I came across the following two links but I don't think they will disable the updates to community help itself. So from what I can gather you need to do the following:
Turn off autoupdates to AIR (See below)
Turn off updates to Community Help (No clue how to do this)
Install Local content (See below)
Disables updates to AIR
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/admin/WS485a42d56cd1964167ea49bd124ef17d52a-7ff5.html#WS48 5a42d56cd1964167ea49bd124ef17d52a-7ff2
Turn off internet access/help and copy local help
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/849/cpsid_84992.html
Turn off internet access (not sure if you need to do this one and the one above or just the one above)
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/846/cpsid_84665.html
You can download the latest version of AIR and Community Help.
Link to latest version of community help

Hopes this helps.
