HT1338 How do you ignore unwanted/un-needed software updates in Mountain Lion?

Several software updates come available via the OS X App store, many of which I do not need, as they are related to software or hardware I don't have or use.  Is there a way to ignore them in Mountain Lion?

OK..found another question like mine that already had the answer...problem solved.  Thanks!

  • Will I need to update from Mountain Lion (10.8.4) to Mavericks prior to the Yosemite rollout this fall?

    I am running Mountain Lion (10.8.4) currently. I rolled back to Mountain Lion from Mavericks back in October 2013 because I was having problems with it. However, I've heard there are improvements to Maverick since my initial install. My question is will I need to update from Mountain Lion to Maverick in order to update to Yosemite this fall? Thanks in advance.

    If your goal is to install Yosemite upon its release, I doubt you will need to do it from Mavericks.
    If Mountain Lion does not have features you need and Yosemite will, then, as WZZZ suggest, give Yosemite a chance to have any bugs worked out first.
    If your concern is security, Mavericks is the current OS but Apple is still providing Security Updates for Lion, so Mountain Lion should still be good to go for a while yet.

  • How can you restore photos lost during software update on iTunes?

    How do you restore or even find photos lost during software update of iphone 4 on iTunes?

    Why did you not back it up before performing the update? Did you perform the update on a computer other than the one you normally sync with?
    As already stated, if you didn't back it up, the data is now gone.

  • How do you drag files into folders on the new mountain lion?

    When i select the file i want to drag into a folder, it drags normally but i can not place it in the new folder.  nothing fancy just rying to move pictures into the same folder.
    Thanks

    Hi there...
    I'm in the same boat.
    I clean installed Mountain Lion no problems, everything seems to be a little quicker even... .a bonus.
    But then I stumbled across something.
    I am unable to move or drag files around.
    Let's say I have a file jpg in the desktop, and I want to move it to the pictures folder... Normally I would just hold down the trackpad, and physically move it in to the open pictures finder... but it just will not move.  I can select it, open it, rename it, everything... but I just cannot drag anything anywhere.
    Lets say the jpg on my desktop needs work and I want to open it in Photoshop.  I have the Photoshop icon in my Dock, and for years have simply dragged whatever jpg onto the PHotoshop icon in the Dock to open it.. .but now I can't.
    At the moment I am copy/pasting everything, which is time consuming and sooo annoying you have no idea.
    I just wanted to move a AVI from my downloads to the desktop.  I had to copy, paste, then delete from downloads... ***?!?!
    Am I the only one experiencing this problem??
    Please let me know.

  • How do you remove a third party software update on Lion?

    A friend recently pulled an update to Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.1.1.  The update version is 3.6.2.  Consequently, RDP does not work when connecting to a Windows machine remotely. 
    NOTE:  I realize Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.1.1 is no longer supported for OSX Lion and later.  However, I use this same client successfully on a 2009 Intel MBP upgraded to Mountain Lion.  I did NOT pull this third party software update and RDP works without fail. 
    Troubleshooting steps to date:
    Attempted Uninstall/reinstall of RDP.
    Failed.
    My goal is to "roll back" this specific application prior to the software update without having to restore OSX.
    Please help locate the specifc program files to be removed.  I'm willing to remove manually through Terminal with the right instruction.
    Thanks!

  • HT1338 Receiving Error when I run Software Update in Mountain Lion.

    I am receiving the following error when I run software update in OS-X Mountain Lion. The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1100.)
    Is this a problem with my MBP or is there an issue with the AppStore servers? Is there an alternate way in Mountain Lion to look for updates if the problem is with the AppStore app itself?
    Thank you,

    Apparently a server overload > NSURLErrorDomain error -1100
    Try again later.

  • How do you fix the issues with the OS X mountain lion? Screen freezes pages just swipe on own

    Having issues with the lion operating system

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    Hi, I updated my software from 10.6.8 and now I can't start my computer. I get a message HDD damaged click to restart. And the process repeats.

    Boot with the Snow Leopard install disc, launch Disk Utility, and repair the disk. If successful, see if it'll boot w/ML. If not, restore your bootable SL backup/clone or Time Machine backup.
