How to disable Beta channel updates?

Beta updates disable my Trusteer Rapport which often does not support the update. How do I remove myself from the beta update channel?

You likely installed what was a Beta build of a version at time and have been using it since as 34.0b3 is the current Beta. The easiest way to get back onto Release channel is to install the current Release which is 33.0.1

How to disable checking for updates for Shockwave plug-in?

SOS: how can I disable checking for updates (and reporting
that there is one) for a Shockwave object on a web page?
I have a client with an older Shockwave version, and it's a
royal pain for each user to be told there's a newer veriosn and do
you want to download...
Any help gratefully received.

I have zero experience of macs.
Can't you install Silverlight and the plugin for all users rather than a specific one?
I would guess/hope/expect there'd then be one plist file for everyone?

How to disable yum auto-update in OL6

Hello,
What is the correct procedure to disable yum auto-updates?
The "yum-updatesd" daemon that existed in OL 5 does no longer exist in OL 6.
I found out that the "PackageKit Update Applet" seems to be responsible for running the auto-update. It can be enabled or disabled in the new Preferences/Startup Applications control panel. There is also the "gpk-prefs" control panel to set the update interval to "never". However, both control panels work on a per-user/login basis and cannot be used to disable yum auto-update system-wide.
Finally I found /etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf, which has a DefaultBackend parameter, but I don't know what I should put there.
Is there here a way, to disable the yum auto-update system-wide without uninstalling PackageKit?
I already checked the documentation at http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/ch-PackageKit.html but it was not helpful.
Thanks!

The actuall problem I'm trying to fix is the following error:
<pre>
Another app is currently holding the yum lock; waiting for it to exit...
The other application is: PackageKit
Memory : 45 M RSS (357 MB VSZ)
Started: Tue Jul 10 09:27:04 2012 - 04:09 ago
State : Sleeping, pid: 2317
</pre>
The above error can happen if you have an active Gnome session and e.g. connect as root using ssh session and try to use yum.
I may have found a way now to disable the automatic system updates, however, I don't know if this is the proper solution since I cannot find any information about it.
I modified */etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf* and changed:
<pre>
DefaultBackend=yum -> DefaultBackend=nobackend
</pre>
It requires a re-login of your Gnome X session to take affect.
Then Administration/Software update does no longer scan for updates, and apparently no longer lock yum at the system level. At least the problem seems to be fixed globally that way.
I will mark this question as answered, but any ideas are still welcome.
Thanks!
Btw, here is a link to previous older thread to disable it on a per-user basis:

How to disable check for updates??

I ve to package a ctrlPrint 5.0.2.33 plugin to adobe incopy CS3. After installing that plugin exe , in adobe incopy first window, plugin will add two tabs called ctrl and ctrlPrint if we press ctrl tab than there is a feature called check for updates and i have to disable this update so pls suggest me how to do it ? no reg entry ,no update reg ,no xlm file for update is there.

Hi,
If you are referring to Help -> Check for Updates, I'm not certain if that is possible.
If you mean Tools -> Preferences -> Extensions, just uncheck the Automatically Check for Updates box. Doing that is standard procedure for improving the tool's launch performance.

Gary

How to Disable SCCM Software Updates on Client Workstations

Hi,
I have enabled Software Updates for all clients, to create a baseline for reporting. The intent was to then disable Software Updates via. SCCM Client Settings, so that our clients could continue receiving updates from Microsoft until we were ready to deploy
updates to our clients.
After modifying the SCCM Client Settings, the Software Update Cycles/actions removed from the Configuration Manager Client on the workstations, however the local policy on the workstation remained configured (did not revert back to Non-Configured).
and the workstation is still looking to the SCCM for Windows Updates.
Using SCCM, how do I get the workstations back to Microsoft for Windows/Microsoft Updates?
TIA,
Bill

>I've read that you shouldn't mix SCCM and Group Policy for Windows Updates, when you're intending
to use SCCM.
Correct - if you are using Group Policy to manage the Windows Update settings, ConfigMgr will not be able to manage them. You're post implied you did not want to manage updates with ConfigMgr.
> not all of our workstations are on a domain; so that's not really a complete solution for
us.
ConfigMgr is designed to easily configure devices to update against ConfigMgr, not Microsoft Update, so there isn't just a check box for what you want.
Consider using ConfigMgr Compliance Settings to manage the registry keys for the Windows Update settings you are looking for on your devices.
I hope that helps,

How to disable WMC automatic update

Windows Media Center does update itself via Internet, regardless of the Windows Update configuration.
How can I disable this?

So, you're never, ever going to use Windows Update?
You do realize that this is how you get updates for the operating system (Windows itself), as well as any other MS software that you have installed, yes?
Honestly, not a good idea.
Perhaps you could say what you've observed to occur, so that we might be able to offer a more proper resolution (read: fix why this isn't working for you?)
The earlier suggestion should work. I've verified it myself.
On my laptop (which has no tuners; therefore, it doesn't need a Guide to go with them), I unchecked that box, oh, well before I wrote that post in March 2009. Never since have I seen the 'downloading Guide data' icon pop up in my
systray, never has the laptop woken itself to run a Guide update.

How to Disable Check for updates button in Help/About in firefox 5.0

Hi the user should not manually check for updates so we want to disable the Check for updates button also in Help/About.
Thanks in advanced

You can hide that button with code in userChrome.css below the @namespace line.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files.
* ChromEdit Plus: http://webdesigns.ms11.net/chromeditp.html
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#aboutDialog #updateBox { display:none!important; }</nowiki></pre>
You can also choose to lock the related update pref(s) to false if you want to make sure.

How to disable the windows update message "Windows update hasn't been able to check for updates for the last 30 days"

Hi,
We work on a domain that uses Symantec Management console to administrate our patch enviroment. We have windows updates disabled. But our Windows 8 machines get this message once a month
"Windows update hasn't been able to check for updates for the last 30 days"
Just wondering if anyone knows which GPO to use to disable this setting as I have been unable to find it.
Thanks

Hi，
You can turn off the message by GUI in Control Panel\System and Security\Action Center, in the right pane, click "Change Action Center settings", then untick the "Windows Update" option.
For GPO, you can disable all balloon notifications:
User Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Start Menu and Taskbar\Turn off all balloon notifications
Or remove Action Center icon itself
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar\Remove the Action Center icon
And I haven't found a GPO to turn on\off a specific message mentioned in the action center, but the setting for the message is related with registry key under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Action Center\Checks
but the value under the key is binary, hard to control, if you have interest, you can export the key from a preference pc, then deploy the GPO via
User Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Registry

How to disable checking for updates on Mac Silverlight for enterprise environment

Hi Guys,
We are trying to create a package for our enterprise environment to push the install of Silverlight for the Mac and have it not automatically check for updates.
What is the best way to do that?
I found the setting in the com.microsoft.silverlight.plist file that was in the user profile/library/preferences folder.
Is there a way to have this UpdateMode key set to the desired setting regardless of which user is logged onto the mac?
Thanks.
Aaron

I have zero experience of macs.
Can't you install Silverlight and the plugin for all users rather than a specific one?
I would guess/hope/expect there'd then be one plist file for everyone?
