How to remove an update when there is no option to cancel it?

iMac on Yosemite 10.10 here, but under purchases on the App Store, it shows OS X Mavericks download is paused and the only option is to resume download. Since I am already on Yosemite, how do I cancel/stop this update completely, instead of just pausing it?
I see an update under launchpad on the dock, but that is just the old OS update. It's rather annoying to keep looking at and am hoping to delete it or cancel it fully.

You might want to make a bootable USB in case you want to revert.

  • How do I uninstall photoshop elements 6 (windows) when there is not option in add-remove programs

    How do I uninstall photoshop elements 6 (windows) when there is not option in add-remove programs.  I have looked on my hard drive extensively for a library or utility folder that would have an uninstall program, nothing.  I want to install Elements 9, but have found out that Elements 9 does not remove Elements 6, so I want to remove elements 6 first.

    Strange that PSE6 does not show up via the control pane.
    I wouldn’t worry about uninstalling it. The two versions sit happily side by side and PSE6 takes up hardly any file space compared with PSE9.

  • How to find port number , when there will be different instance number ?

    In case of portal url,
    port number is 50000 for default instance number 00.
    how to find port number , when there will be different instance number , instead of 00?
    Thanks

    Hi
    You can find the port number by your instance number as follows:
    There is a general format for the port number like you have mentioned.
    For 00 instance the port number is 50000.
    The general format for the port number goes like this:
        <b>5<instance_no>00</b>
    If your <b>instance number is 01</b> then the port number would be <b>50100</b>.
    It depends on the installation type which you perform.
    You can also change the instance number during the installation but normally you dont do this.
    If you have many components or units installed on your system you may have more than one instance in that case it may go like this 00, 01, 02....accordingly port number will be 50000, 50100, 50200...resp.
    Hope this solves your doubt.
    If you need some more clarification please lemme know.

  • Macbookpro How to remove Cookies? When go to help and clk on how to remove cookies the page is blank?

    Juno Email will not download the inbox, Juno Tech says 1st remove cookies. Mac Help has "how to remove cookies" but when clk the page is blank?

    What application are you taking about?
    Safari has the option to remove them in the privacy or security tab of the preferences. Also try 'Safari > Reset Safari' it may allow you to select an option to delete the cookies.
    I don't know what 'Juno email' is. If it is failing in a Safari you may want to try another web browser, like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox?

    I bought new i phone 5 3 days back, after that asked for new update which is 6.1.4, after updating my iphone i am not able to use cellular data services.

    1) The people responding in this forum are just other Apple product users like you, not Apple itself.  Apple Support Communities is primarily an end-user to end-user (i.e., users like you helping other users) technical issue support feature. Feedback will truly get more attention if you send it using:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    2)  At some stage developers decide it isn't worth the expense of supporting older technology. If I had my way you could still connect iOS7 to OS9, but Apple has decided to make the limit OS 10.6.8  Nor do I like that I can't get spare parts for my 33 year old car...
    Suggestions...
    If you are not going to always be running the newest technology always read software requirements before doing any upgrades.  I run a 12 year old computer and yes, I see there are things I can't run (many), but I also then avoid buying any incompatible new technology.  The system requirements are printed on the side of the box (albeit in 9 point medium gray font on light gray box   )  Do not expect the Apple Store people to check with you about your computer first.  I bet half of them were still in grade school when my computer was produced and none of them could possibly imagine anybody would run anything older than 6 years (probably not even that, more like 4).
    Why not buy Snow Leopard?  Of course you do not say what model computer you are using, but if you can run Snow Leopard on your computer there's no advantage to staying with Leopard.  Snow Leopard costs $20 which is minimal compared to you now no longer being able to sync your phone.

    I'd swear I posted almost this identical post two hours ago...
    If you can't/don't want to upgrade your computer, you have 30 days to return the phone I believe.

  • How to remove Software Update notice on iPhone 5 after deleting iOS 8.01

    I successfully deleted the downloaded but non-installed 8.01 update from my iPhone 5. However, my phone still shows that I have a pending software update to do. When I select the "Software Update" option I'm alerted that "Your software is up to date" and iOS 8.0 shows as the current software installed. I've rebooted the phone but the digit "1" still shows up in the Settings>General section. Any idea how to remove this now false update notification?

    I have the exact same  issue , so you are not alone .
    I am sure things are a little "tense" at headquarters .

  • How to avoid ModelLayer Update when validation fails in ValueChangeListener

    Hi,
    One of the requirement in my application is to avoid model layer update when a value is changed in a field and it is not a valid value according to business functionality. Scenario is explained below.
    1. Screen has one field SSN no.
    2. User enters 889787873 (According to functionality, SSN no. should not start with 8 or 9)
    3. The moment user enters and does Tab out, Value change listener gets fired (AutoSubmit is set to true and value change listener is mapped to it)
    4. I have a util method isValidSSN(int ssnNo) that gets the SSN no as input argument, validates it, returns true if it is valid otherwise false.
    There can be many ways to achieve the above said functiontlity including the best way of keeping the validation at entity attribute level. But that is not what i am looking for. I am doing migration of desktop application and want to mimic the code as how as it is (According to client requirement).
    Requirement behavior:
    In value change listener, I should get the newly entered value (Not from ValueChangeEvent.getNewValue()), validate it. If it is valid, I should update the model. If not, I should not do model layer update call at all as i want to keep my transaction undirty, but show invalid SSN message to the user.
    Requirement:
    1. Get the new value inside valueChange listener. I don't want to use valueChangeEvent.getNewValue() because what i said as SSN is just an example but in our app, we use many data types including custom domain data types. So i cannot expect valuechangeEvent.getNewValue() always gives me the new value with proper data type. I also know i cannot use UiComponent.processUpdate(facesContext) to get the new value from VO attribute. Because calling processUpdate issues setAttribute call at model layer, which in turn makes the transaction dirty. So i need to access the newly entered value with proper data type in some other way.
    2. If any itemChange logic fails, I should not update the model layer but directly comes to render response. I hope this is doable by calling FacesContext.renderResponse() API but need confirmation or any other way if i am wrong.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Raghu

    Thanks to all for your responses. Regarding accessing of new value inside value change listener, I am sure ValueChangeEvent.getNewValue() is not going to give me the value with proper data type. I am not using immediate attribute anywhere but use custom domain data type with masking (i.e. Formatter Format). Also I use InputDate field. Always valueChangeEvent.getNewValue() gives me the string representation of the value but not with actual data type.
    Question:
    1. Is there any API, that gets the valueChangeEvent.getNewValue() and the UI components as parameters and return the data with proper data type?
    2. I need to get the newly value with proper data type inside valueChangeListener. Is it achievable? If so, how?
    Need your help.

  • How to remove failing update

    Hi,
    There is an update on our server (2012) that keeps failing. Every 2 days it's scheduled to reboot and every time it's the same song & dance. Server reboots, configures update, gets to 98% and reverts it's changes.
    How can I actually remove a failed update, so that I can break this cycle? ;) I can't even figure out which update it is that causes this :(
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    You could view the update failure information in Windows Update history.
    If you want to remove the update failure information, you could refer to this blog:
