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

New Icloud Terms and Conditions window pops up every time I try to check my email, or when I open setting. My email doesn't load because of this, so I haven't been able to check my email for months.

'New Icloud Terms and Conditions' window pops up every time I try to check my email, or when I open setting. My email doesn't load because of this, so I haven't been able to check my email for months. When I click, 'view terms' it takes me to my Icloud section in settings, but the terms don't pop up. I plugged it into my iTunes to see if it would pop up, but that didn't work either. My phone is updated, and I'm pretty sure I already accepted the new terms and conditions on the last update a few months back.

Hi munaxnight,
If you are having issues with your iPhone continuing to ask you to accept terms and conditions, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

My ipad screen is frozen,with the icloud backup message (This ipad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks ect)

My ipad screen is frozen, with the icloud backup message (this ipad hasn't been backed up for 2 weeks ect)

Holding both worked for me as well. The problem occurred immediately after going back to the Apple store. Just purchased the ipad2 and the next day the view account button on data settings disappeared. They had to upload latest update and that resored it. The next day icloud froze the screen. Hopefully this fixes it.

Firefox automatically updated itself yesterday, and has not been able to find any server on the internet since. what do I do?

well, a reset didn't help. I uninstalled and tried to reinstall, and the reinstall would not complete.
this afternoon, when I was able to resume, the 800 support number I found on the internet was not able to connect remotely to my computer.
a reinstall, directly from firefox, did complete this time, but still says "server not found" whenever I tryo to acces the internet in any way

Try to run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator).
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Using the icons on the bottom of my iPad mini screen I have always been able to check email and surf the net using Safari as well as storing all my photographs. Suddenly these boxes are empty and I cannot do anything and seem to have lost all of my photo

I have owned my iPad Mini for 9 months now and am still a novice great granny! Today I cannot use Safari as it has just gone blank. I cannot retrieve emails, again the screen is blank and all my photographs have disappeared. Can anyone help me to retrieve this.

Reset your iPad and see if that fixes this.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

There used to be a win32 call for it, so if you want it you'll need to go back to C/C++ and do JNI, provided it is still in the API.

I have been unable to download the iphone software v5.1. I keep getting the timing out message. Is there someway to set my network connections to allow the download? Can I get the update some other way?

The Huntress is correct, I have missed that you have an iPhone 3G
Usually iTunes will tell you in that case, that iOS 4.2.1 the newest version for your phone.
If you don't have an iPhone 3G, network connections timing out can be a security software problem:

After the last update on iTunes I have not been able to get into the program. I have uninstalled all components and reinstalled and now it is telling me I am missing .dll files. I am so frustrated. I probably lost my entire library except what I purchased

My ipad has the message-This ipad hasn't been backed up in two weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wi-fi. I press ok and nothing happens. I have it locked, plugged into wall, and conected to wi-fi.

Go to Settings, iCloud, and then Storage and Backup. You will then see a button to backup your iPad. It may be that you have much stuff (i.e. photos, apps) for it to do a full backup but you will be able to tell what the estimated backup should be and what it will consist of so that you can choose to prune down items. If you don't want to backup and get rid of the messages you can just turn backup off from this area as well.

HT1766 I have an IPAD 2 and when I awoke it I received an error message; "This IPad hasn't been backed up for 3 weeks." It goes on to tell me when backups occur but it doesn't back up automatically. How can I get rid of this message and use my IPad?

I have an IPad 2 and when I woke it up it gave me an error message on the desktop: "iCloud backup: This IPad hasn't been backed up in 3 weeks. Backups happen when this IPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi." I have done all of these and it still doesn't allow me to get rid of the error message. I even connected the IPad to the computer and attempted to back it up using the Web but it still doesn't get rid of the message. Help!

Reset your iPad to clear that condition:
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
