Is there any way to set Software Update to ignore a particular packages?

If Software Update identifies a new version of something which I don't want to install, is there any way of making it ignore that update when it checks next time.
It's not unusual for minor updates to include no security fixes, no fixes for defects which affect me and no additional functionality. In these cases I'd rather not update but I haven't been able to find anyway to stop Software Update from prompting me to install the same version every time it checks.

Thank you for the reply.
That menu item just sets Software Update to ignore that particular version does it? I did spot it but the dialog which it opens says "You will no longer be notified of new versions of this update." which is not a very clear message but "new versions" made me think that clicking "OK" would make it ignore all future updates for the component and not just the particular version I want to skip.
Sorry, maybe my original post wasn't very clear that it I just want to skip versions I don't see a need to install, not permanently ignore certain apps/components.

  • Is there any way to set email to automatically download images?

    Hi,
    Is there any way to set the email on my 8330 to automatically download images?  Currently using o/s v4.5.0.173.  Email settings are set to enable HTML Email & set to download images automatically but I still have to tell it to download the images and go through the prompts advising that downloading internet images can expose your internet address, blah blah blah.

  • My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?

    My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?
    It would be so much easier having seperate accounts but we have hundreds of her purchased songs on my account and she would need to be able to access these from her account. Possible?
    Also, if we bought a song in future we would want to be able to both have access to it.
    Alternatively, what is the easy way to sync two distinctly different contact lists to one iTunes account?
    Thank you in advance.

    FYI: iTunes account (used to make purchases) is not the same as iTunes library (iTunes on your computer with music, movies, etc.).

    Will we have to create a seperate account for her, or can we all have the same one?
    You can but you will not be able to limit what she syncs.
    I would like to avoid 'checking' and 'unchecking' individual songs every time one of us tries to synch our ipods to the library.
    I don't recommend using (only) the checkmarks to select what to sync.
    Each of you can create your own playlists then sync only those playlists.
    Then add/delete from your own playlists to change iPod content.
    The only time I uncheck items is if I rarely/never want to sync them to anything, such as Christmas music or old audiobooks.
    I suggest you each have your own computer login account. Then everyone has their own contacts, calendars, and everything else.
    You and your husband can share an iTunes library and let your daughter have her own.

  • Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view

    When my Finder windows open in column view, all the columns are always VERY wide. I have to then spend time resizing them to a managable width. Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view?
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    No, because you can't set a columns view default.

  • I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wires apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wires apple id for iTunes?

    I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wifes apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wifes apple id for iTunes?

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

  • Is there any way to set a password so that txt messages only open when the password is entered

    Is there any way to set a password so that txt messages only open when the password is entered?
    Please help! Thanks for reading:)

    Hello Damien,
    There is an option to set a passcode for the entire iPhone.  You can use the following steps to set this up:
    You can configure a passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
    Once enabled, you will be prompted for the passcode whenever you:
    Turn on or restart the device
    Wake the device
    Unlock the screen
    Note: You can specify the amount of time the screen must be locked before requiring a passcode.
    You can find the full article here:

  • Is there a way to prevent Software updates to automatically upgrade my printer drivers?

    Hi everybody!
    Is it possible to prevent Mountain Lion to automatically upgrade my printer drivers?
    I'm using an iMac with Mountain Lion at work, and for my printer to work, I need to keep an older version of xerox drivers (newer versions are not supporting some features we're using at a corporate level). Is there a way to tell software updates to stop asking me to update those drivers? I would love to use the "update all" feature without having to continuously reinstall old drivers...
    Thank you so much for your help!
    Sincerely
    Neff

    Thank you Barney-15E, I tried to right-click and hide this update and for the moment everything appears to work just fine. I'll let you know if the update request pops-up again at the next software update.

  • Is there any way to set up icloud with Windows XP?

    Is there any way to set up icloud using a PC with windows XP?

    Yes there is.
    There are many threads on this forum discussing this issue already (it's good to search before asking the same quesiton again).
    There is a simple hack to get iCloud control panel to work on Windows XP to give you synced access to Contacts, Calenders, Reminders and Bookmarks. It also can be used to set up your me.com mail. Photostream doesn't work.
    I found a solution here, have written it up in clearer english and added details re IMAP support for me.com addresses here:
    http://xlii.be/s/1ii
    In summary:
    You need:
    Unpacking program e.g. 7-Zip or WinRar
    Orca MSI editor
    The iCloud setup hack for Windows XP:
    Download iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
    Open iCloudSetup.exe file with WinRar or 7-Zip and extract.
    Navigate to and open the iCloud.msi or iCloud64.msi (for 64bit systems) with Orca.
    In the left table select LaunchCondition. Then change in the right table “VersionNT> = 600” to “VersionNT> = 200” and Save.
    Run modified iCloud.msi and install.
    Run iCloud Control Panel, located in the Windows Control Panel, and set up as you want.
    I've had reports that you need to keep the files extracted from the .exe file in the same directory during installaton of the .msi file.
    Have fun!

    That is what Activation Lock of iOS 7 does

  • Hi guys. Just a quick question. My wife has a Mac Book Pro and when she is browsing the web she can use a two fingered gesture to go back to her previous page (by swiping from right to left). Is there any way to set that up on my iPad Mini. Many thanks.

    Not in the Safari browser she can't. That is not supported on the iPad. There are other mobile browsers that do have that functionality - one is iCab Mobile.

    - If you have a 1G ipod you can't update past 3.1.3.  To identify yourd see:
    Identifying iPod models
    - Be aware that if you can/do update the iOS to the latest (4.2.1 for a 2G and 4.3.4 for a 3G) you may not be able to sync to the old computer since that computer will need the latest iTunes to see/sync with the update iPod.  Yo need an Max with at least OSX 10.5.8.
    You can transfer iTunes purchases from the iPod to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    You can use on of the third-party programs dicussed here to transfer other stuff:
    new PC: Apple Support Communities
    Unless you can move/copy the iPod backup file to the new computer you will loose all app data and restore from that backup. That file is located:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • Is there any way to set the SCCM system to use local time instead of UTC?

    We have ConfigMgr 2012 in our environment. We are in EST.
    Is there any way to set the SCCM system to use local time instead of UTC?
    When we try to deploy packages, if you don’t specify the time, it reverts to UTC which for us is off by 5 hours.

    Which times are you talking about? Deployment start times or deadlines? Those could be set to UTC *or* client local time.
