How to hide/decline updates in Mavericks?

I have two updates in the AppStore showing: iMovie10 (which I uninstalled and don't want back) and iTunes (which I don't use but can't uninstall).  Is it possible to hide or decline these items?  I searched on this topic and found that Apple --> Software update is supposed to permit hiding by right-clicking on the Update button(s) in the App Store.

I don't get the Show Details prompt, however and right clicking on the Update button does not bring up any options to hide/decline.  Perhaps the process is different in the Mavericks .  Advice appreciated.
Thank you.

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.

  • Update Retriever - how to hide specific updates?

    Hi,
    while reading the System Update Deployment Guide, I stumbled upon the possibility of hiding updates from automatic downloading into the repository. As there are certain software products distributed via lenovos Servers, which I do not want to install onto our companies' computers, I would like to let Update Retriever skip these updates.
    I wasn't able to find the described funcionality in the program yet. Does someone of you know how to hide those updates?
    Thanks in advance,
    mat_ban

    Allan, as far as I can see it only allows me to include or not include Metadata by checkin the box in the Image Export window. I want to include most Metadata, particularly my name and copyright. There is one field where I keep my notes that I do not want to send with the photo.This is where my dilemma lies.
    thanks

  • How to Hide an Update pen on an OAF using customization

    Hi All,
    There is a requirement in which we need to hide the Update Pen on one the OAF page for particular record.
    So, when i go to "About this page" of the page,
    It gives me the Focus Name as "switcher: Update Trasanctional Tax"
    so how can i make it rendered as false programmatically.
    For other buttons like "Create" button on page level, the focus Name is "flowLayout: (region1)".
    So in this case i can make the Create Button as Rendered false by below logic.
    OAFlowLayoutBean oaflowlayoutbean = (OAFlowLayoutBean)oawebbean.findChildRecursive("region1");
    oaflowlayoutbean.setRendered(false);Kindly Advice.

    Switcher is like a region. Under which more than one items will be created (generally two). It is used in table region.
    For example: A switcher has two items. One with Enabled Update Pencil image. Another with Disabled Update Pencil image.
    Based on the requirement we can show either Enabled or Disabled Update Pencil image/icon for each row.
    Refer "Task 2: Implement a Delete Switcher" in "Exercise: Delete" unde Tutorila Toolbox.
    Coming to your requirement, check what are the items added to switcher in your page. Using row.setAttribute() you can display the item which you want.

    I've no idea who Glenn is nor what you've tried so far, but what worked for
    my Nvidia Quadro K2100M was to install the latest 8.1 driver from the
    Nvidia web site. Once I had installed that, I was no longer offered the
    update.

  • I found the solution to a Mavericks bug on the Mail program. How can I share it? Several of my mail boxes stopped functioning properly when I updated to Mavericks. After long hours, I discovered that if I change the name of the mailbox, the content works.

    I found the solution to a Mavericks bug on the Mail program. How can I share it? Several of my mail boxes stopped functioning properly when I updated to Mavericks. The title of the mails stored in the mailbox appear, but the content was unavailable.
    After 4 long hours at the phone with the Apple staff unable to help me, I discovered that if I change the name of the mailbox, the contents of the mails stored there become available.
    Please, make this solution available to other people!

    You have found the the way to share it.   Include your problem and its solution in a forum post in the Mavericks forums.   Then mark you own post with a green solved star.

  • How can I decline a single update for a PC.

    Hi,
    How can I decline an update for a single PC?
    One of the updates keeps failing and I can't stop it.
    I don't want to decline it for everyone because other machines will need it.
    I can't see the option.
    Thanks

    Target the update to a specific group of machines.  Machines that you don't want to get that update, leave out of that group.

  • After updating to mavericks I have to constantly enter my apple ID for mail, iBooks, iTunes and many other applications that used to be part of my keychain. How can I get my log-in to work again?

    After updating to mavericks I have to constantly enter my apple ID for mail, iBooks, iTunes and many other applications that used to be part of my keychain. How can I get my apple ID log-in to work again?

    Several times I've re-entered my passwords under Preferences/Internet Accounts/iCloud and it won't save since I've installed Mavericks.  Also, the iCloud icon in the left column in Preferences/Internet Accounts/iCloud is greyed out but allows me to click on it to set-up.  When I click on iCloud the password is filled out but the "Enable this account" check-box is not checked.  I check it, and all seems correct.  The icon is no longer grey, the password is correct, the "activate this account" check-box is checked.  Then, when I launch mail, notes etc. I'm still prompted to re-enter my apple ID.  The log-in loop continues.  For years my keychain has worked perfectly.  What has changed in Mavericks?

  • How do I know if the Maverick software update has been installed on my mac?

    How do I know if the Maverick software update has been installed on my mac?

    It will not download if you already have it.
    Just to be 100% clear …
    Look in /Applications for "Install OS X Mavericks"
    Use the Finders Go menu > Applications. To open it.
    You may have an Applications folder in your Home directory too, it shouldn't be in there but it is possible.
    Also try Spotlight to see if it can find that filename.
    Can you also tell us what system you have?
    Apple menu > About this Mac > more info button… What is the Model (under the Overview tab).
    10.9 doesn't install on all systems, so it could explain why you can't get it, however it usually displays a dialog stating that fact.

  • Many Questions; Main: How to update to Mavericks in 2015?

    Hello everyone!
    I'm currently trying to install Wine on my Mac so I can run some old Windows games without having to install Windows. It proves more difficult than I imagined though...
    They want me to install a program called "Xcode" from the App-store, but I run a MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.5, and the program says I have to run at least 10.9 to download it - so basically I have to update to Mavericks. I never did so because my father told me not to, and he did so too with the newest update Yosemite. And after reading all the reviews to it - yeah, i still want to be able to log into my wifi thank you very much. So i'm trying to find out how to update to Mavericks in 2015 - so far I didn't find anything Does anyone here have an idea? Or maybe can propose an alternative to Xcode?
    Thank you very much!
    Your Mia

    I just found someone who had a similar question (it didn't pop-up when i searched for it) and the answer seems to be: suck it, no mavericks for you.
    I don't know how to delete this post though, so just see it as closed…

  • After Updating to Mavericks my Outlook contacts and folders disappeared - How do I recover them?

    After Updating to Mavericks my Outlook folders and contacts disappeared - how do I recover them?  Thank you!

    It's possible Outlook opened in a new Identity.
    In the Finder go to your Documents folder > Microsoft User Data folder > Office 2011 Identities folder.
    Inside you should see your Identity. You might see other Identities from prior rebuilds. If Outlook opened in a new blank Identity you can open the Database Utility to set your old Identity as default.
    Options to check in the Identity to determine if it has data.
    Check the database file in the Identity to see when it was created and modified.
    Check the Data Records folder to see if it has these folders:
    Message Attachments
    Message Sources
    Messages
    If these folders are missing there are no messages.
    Open the Database Utility
    Hold down the Option key when launching Outlook. It will open the Database Utility.
    Click on the + to add a new Identity.
    Click on the gear to set default Identity.
    Another option to open the Database Utility is to open from Applications.
    /Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Office/Microsoft Database Utility.app

  • I updated to Mavericks and a bunch of my info deleted.  I tried opening a previous iDVD I made, but when I click on it, it says to look for themes.  How do I get my movie to work?  Thanks.

    I updated to Mavericks and a bunch of my info deleted.  I tried opening a previous iDVD I made, but when I click on it, it says to look for themes.  How do I get my movie to work?  Thanks.

    Did you do an erase and install of Mavericks?  If not look in the HD/Library/Application Support folder for an iDVD folder.  There should be a Themes folder in it. If it's not there look in your Home/Library/Applications Suport folder for the iDVD folder.
    NOTE: In Mavericks, 10.9,  the Home Library is invisible so go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring up this window:
    Select Show Library Folder.  Now you can check to see if the iDVD folder in there.
    If you find the iDVD folder launch iDVD, go to its Advanced preference pane and point iDVD to the Themes folder:
    If you can't find the Themes folder you'll need to reinstall iDVD from the source you installed it from originally, i.e. the disks that came with your Mac or an iLife 09 or 11 disk.
