How to uninstal apple's software updates???

hello all,
I got my cube with 10.4.11 running smoothly but I decided to check the updates and I chose only three of them of my interest.
I installed safari 4, java 8, and 'every user need this ' utility which is supposed to give your computer better quality cd etc...
then I restarted and something happened!
first I don't see any difference nor better sign with safari 4... I want the 3 back
then the power card (I suppose cos there is the power plug on it) suddenly blinking like mad so the green light on the end is working like it was the hard drive and a big noise too.
(while writting this I'm using techtool to optimize the hd)
so apart java which I don't know if it helps or not... the updates caused some damages on the computer. Maybe it's not good for this genious 450 mhz???
so I'd like to know how to go back??? and delete those updates
cheers

How do I reset my software updates to default back to the apple updates ser

How do I reset my software updates to default back to the apple updates server. I used ARD to send a unix command to download the software from my test server but now I don't know the exact path to point it back to the apple updates server. Below is the command line I sent via ARD. I appreciate any help.
defaults write com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL http://mobileserver.virtualco.com:8088/index.sucatalog

Niel, I appreciated the help and quick response. A friend did email me that exact command line and it work. john

That indicates something went wrong. Make sure no anti-virus software or firewalls are running on your system. Make sure iTunes is up to date. Then, follow the directions here to force the phone into recovery mode & restore it:

How to reverse ios 6 software update??

Apple does not support down grading ios, But google is your friend.

I don't know much about computers can anyone walk me through this ? How Do I Change The Software Update Server Address On A Client ? what do I open and how do i put it in the right spot?

I don't know much about computers can anyone walk me through this ? How Do I Change The Software Update Server Address On A Client ? what do I open and how do i put it in the right spot?

The simplest method is to run a defaults command on the client Macs (easily pushed via Apple Remote Desktop):
defaults write com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL 'HTTP_URL_FOR_CATALOG'
for a user. If you run it via sudo it will set it for whenever you use softwareupdate as root.
The HTTP_URL_FOR_CATALOG has been changed with Mac OS X 10.6. If you use MCX it will automatically pick the new catalog – however if doing it manually the following URLs need to be used for whichever client version is in question:
Mac OS X 10.4: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index.sucatalog
Mac OS X 10.5: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.sucatalog
Mac OS X 10.6: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog
Mac OS X 10.7: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
Mac OS X 10.8: index-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
To double check this applied you can run the following command:
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
and /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
to see what settings are for the computer and user appropriately.
If this is working correctly when running Software Update (GUI) you should see the server address appear in parenthesis in the title of the window.
MCX
Another alternative is to use Workgroup Manager to manage the preferences via MCX from your server. This can be done for users, or for computers if they are bound to your Open Directory.
If you are using 10.5 Server or newer: you can simply use the Software Update section under Preferences.
Manually:
Choose the accounts, computers, or groups to have the preference applied to.
Click on Preferences, and then the Details tab
Press the Add… button and navigate to /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Press Edit…
Under Often, add a New Key and enter the name CatalogURL
Make sure the type is string and then enter your SUS URL (eg. http://mysus.example.com:8088/index.sucatalog or if using 10.6: http://mysus.examle.com:8088/ – see above from the defaults section)
Press Apply Now, then Done. Once users/computers have refreshed their MCX settings (usually the next login or restart) the new settings will take over.
If this is working correctly when running Software Update (GUI) you should see the server address appear in parenthesis in the title of the window.
In order to have a system-wide configuration one has to run the following:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL "http://your.updates-server.lan:8088/index.sucatalog"
In order to correctly work both on Leopard and Snow Leopard the right command to issue is:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL "http://your.updates-server.lan:8088/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog"
Happily used and tested on my network
The DNS trick that Chealion points out is fantastic. I use it at our office, and every computer on our LAN will automatically pull the updates from the local repository at high speed without any configuration.
Create the swscan.apple.com DNS zone on your internal DNS server, and have it resolve via an A record to your Mac

How do i Install the Software Update Server for Windows 7?

How do i Install the Software Update Server for Windows 7? I get an error saying: Can't Install the Software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
I downloaded the software so How do I install it?
Do I install it all over again or when I have windows open?
I am using Bootcamp.

Back up your system drive completely. If you have no backup plan in place, now would be a good time to start. You can use CarbonCopyCloner to make a complete, bootable backup of your system on another drive or volume. After you have done this: download the combo update using the link supplied by Niel and run the installer.

How do we get a software update for realplayer that comes with the phone ? Thanks.

You wait for a firmware update that includes it.
S60v5 phones also have a gizmo called "Application update". Sometimes elements in the firmware receive an update that way. For example, there was recently an update to FlashLite 3.1 on the 5800 XpressMusic.

How can I tell what Software Update Groups are members of Deployment Packages?

I have a single SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4 server running on Windows Server 2012.
I am trying to clean things up a little bit and I am curious:
How can I tell which Software Update Groups use
which Deployment Packages? I don't see it on the Properties of either one.
Thanks!

Funny thing is that you can't see from the software update (in the software update group) in which deployment package(s) it exists. Your only options are manually comparing every single update (not really an option), or use PowerShell and do something
like this:

Will Apple issue software updates to 10.7.4 Lion ?

I have an early 2008 MacBook running 10.7.4 Lion. 4.5 years old and running perfectly. It is too old to run Mountain Lion, so am am concerned that Apple won't produce software updates to Lion.
1. Based on past experience, will Apple issue software updates?
2. If the answer to 1 is negative, then I am very surprised at the lack of outcry on this and other forums and from the bloggers about this situation, where faithful users of Macs are effectively being forced to buy a new one to get a supported OS. Am I missing something here?

Yes, every OSX ever released in the past has reached a point of no further update support. Security update carry on a little longer, but eventually no further support is given. Snow Leopard is in that catagorie at present. Lion may well have further updates, only Apple knows that. It would not surprise to see a 10.7.5 update but then maybe not. The 12 monthly OSX releases that Apple seems to be leaning towards may well change the pattern of support we have come to know in the past. Lion may be supported for some time in regards to security updates, but then again it may be on it's last legs. Time will tell.

HT2404 How can I stop the Software Update madness??

I recently bought an Epson printer to replace my broken HP printer. I uninstalled all the HP-related software, but I still am getting prodded by Software Update to update software I no longer have! How can I stop the Software Update madness??

There are literally thousands of sites with videos (linked to from yet thousands more) that will prompt you to "upgrade" or update your already updated Flash Player. This is the most common method of delivery for malware like that.
A friend who runs a PC Repair business told me that if you've updated your Flash Player and you see a warning in a web page that you need to download an update to watch a video, it's an attack site.
A simple gesture of holding your mouse over the warning or link, will indicate the address it points to. If it DOESN'T say Adobe anywhere in the beginning of the address (download.adobe.com, or adobe.com/downloads), it's a forgery, and you should leave that page immedaitely. If you download and install whatever they link you to, it may play the content you were looking for, but you've just been infected with something that may lay dormant for months and then suddenly take over your whole system.
If you use your PC for work, you're really in trouble.

After apple tv software update 5.1, the ff went missing -- photostream, podcast, radio

https://discussions.apple.com/message/19792199#19792199
That is the link for the same topic. The fix for this issue is to perform a system factory restore in "settings"...scroll down until you see restore & choose factory system restore...The Apple TV will restore itself with all icons in the menu & will be running the latest software 5.1.
I did this yesterday & it worked perfectly.
I think the issue is happening from apple TV's which have received older updates that are not compatible with the latest update or it is just a glitch that happens...
