Mac turned off during update

my macbook mid 2009 I don't remember how many inches but that doesn't matter
during updating from mountain lion to mavericks the mac ran to of energy and tried off and now it doesn't try on AT ALL, no start up sound, I don't feel or hear the CPU fan running and nothing
resetting the SMC didn't help
I tried to turn it on with the adapter and battery and adapter without battery
how to get it back?

I want to turn off auto updating on my Mac 10.4.11 How do I do this?

# Question
I want to turn off auto updating on my Mac 10.4.11 How do I do this?
When firefox tries to upgrade (without asking) it tends to upset my Mac's usual functioning.

You can go into Edit, then Preferences, then Advanced, then update, and set your update settings there.
Also, FYI, [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-no-longer-works-mac-os-x-104-or-powerpc-pr https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-no-longer-works-mac-os-x-104-or-powerpc-pr]

I recently tried to add a couple of "ip dhcp relay address" statements to an SVI and received the following error message:
ERROR: Hardware programming failed. Reason: Tcam will be over used, please enable bank chaining and/or turn off atomic update
Studying this page I was able to determine, that I seemed to be hitting a 50% TCAM utilization limit on the F1 modules, which prevented atomic updates:
# show hardware access-list resource entries module 3
         ACL Hardware Resource Utilization (Module 3)
                          Instance 1, Ingress
TCAM: 530 valid entries   494 free entries
IPv6 TCAM: 8 valid entries   248 free entries
                          Used    Free    Percent
                                          Utilization
TCAM                      530     494     51.75
I was able to workaround it be disabling atomic updates:
hardware access-list update default-result permit
no hardware access-list update atomic
I understand, that with this config I am theoretically allowing ACL traffic during updates which shouldn't be allowed (alternately I could drop it), but that's not really my primary concern here.
First of all I need to understand why adding DHCP relays are apparently affecting my TCAM entry resources?
Second, I need to understand if there are other implications of disabling atomic updates, such as during ISSU?
Third, What are my options - if any - for planning the usage of the apparently relatively scarce resources on the F1 modules?

Could be CSCua13121:
Symptom:
Host of certain Vlan will not get IP address from DHCP.
Conditions:
M1/F1 Chassis with Fabric Path Vlan with atomic update enable.
On such system if configured SVI with DHCP is bounced that is if we shut down and bring it up may cause DHCP relay issue.
Workaround:
Disable Atomic update and bounce the Vlan. Disabling Atomic update may cause packet drops .
Except that ought to be fixed in 6.2(2).

Why the hell does Firefox automatically update itself after I specifically turned off automatic updates?!?!?!?!??! 3 profiles with all of my bookmarks are gone. Never using this browser again!!!!!!

I also have this problem of Firefox updating by itself (also the add-ons) even when I turn off auto-update.
Sometimes you do not want to update or download a large file; because you're working offline, have a slow connection, or have a very low download allowance etc. Usually the update doesn't work and cause Firefox to crash. After that it cannot be started again. This is with Firefox Portable but I think I've had this problem the normal Firefox. With the portable version I can just back up a single folder but it is still time wasting and annoying.
I've noticed that when I start Firefox with auto-update turned off from the previous session, it changes the options to auto-update by itself, it also does this periodically. So every time I start Firefox I have to turn off auto-update, and I have to check again from to time, like a few times a day, because Firefox will by itself turn back on the auto-update.

How do i turn off auto update for mountain lion OS?

Today my computer informed me it was going to perform an update and restart my computer. This is a first for me with Apple products.
Does anyone know how to turn off auto-update? When installing the software i ticked the box that disallowed auto-update but i must have missed doing it some other place in the upgrade process.
Thank you.

Thomas... another bad answer. When you say...
Your Mac will never force you to update. WRONG.
When I updated to the latest software updates... I was asked if I would like automatic updates.
Unfortunately, I pressed Yes.
Now, I'm in the middle of working on something and my display goes bright white... then I get a message that says "Installing Software Update"... then the display goes bright white... the computer turns off and I need to sign on again.
AND I can't find a way to turn off automatic software updates!
You are posting in the wrong forum, please try to keep up.

I turned off firefox update but it is getting turned back on and telling me firefox 5.0 is available. I don't want firefox 5.0 until all my plugins work and I don't want to be bothered. I will followup in a few months.

Installed itunes on another computer and need to turn off automatic update

I have itunes on my desktop at home and it is set to manually update my songs on my ipod (I have more songs on my 80GB ipod video than on my desktop). I am now traveling with a laptop and just installed itunes on my laptop. itunes won't let you turn off the automatic update setting until you plug your ipod into your computer. I am afraid to plug my laptop into my computer because it will automatically update the music (wipe out all my music on my ipod). Can I somehow turn off automatic update (switch to manual) before I plug my ipod into my laptop? Also, I know there is software that allows you to move the music from the ipod to the laptop, but I don't want to move all that music to the laptop. I want to continue updating my ipod manually on my laptop. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If you set the iPod to be manually managed on one computer, that setting will follow the iPod to any other computer you connect it to. However, even if you don't have the iPod set that way, when you connect the iPod to a foreign library, you'll receive an message in iTunes when it recognizes the iPod that the iPod is synced with another library, and you can click 'Cancel' and still get to the iPod's Summary page to put it into manual mode, without it changing any content on the iPod. If it makes you feel better, you can also click Edit and go to Preferences, click the Syncing tab, and select the option to "Disable automatic syncing for iPods & iPhones" prior to connecting your iPod.
Hope this is helpful

How do I turn off automatic updates in Adobe Reader 9.3.0?

I don't see any way to turn off automatic updates in this version.

You can use the menu option 'Edit => Preferences => Updater' to adjust how updates are handled. If you have a corporate install, you might not have this option available and then you would need to talk to your System Administrator. If you turn it off, then you will need to manually check for updates since there are always updates to Acrobat/Reader that are needed to block new security threats.

Turn off automatic update of Firefox on Gnome 3, Fedora 15

On Fedora 15, using Gnome 3, I am unable to turn off automatic updates for Firefox, I am only able to turn off auto updates for Add-ons and Search Engines.

Possibly you have obtained a modified version of Firefox. Preferences, chrome, js or whatever may have been modified.
If work requires you to develop on certain versions, and you are doing some of that on this computer, why not install multiple copies of Firefox, including the required versions. I trust the required versions will be the currently supported versions; at the moment that is 3.6, 6, 7, 8 or 9
You should ensure you use multiple profiles so each has a unique profile.
For the current problematic firefox 6 do a clean install, deleting the original program files, but not the profile files. (or possibly an additional install in a custom location with a new profile - allowing you to retain the current firefox 6, and a standard firefox 6) Profiles may be cloned/copied if required, bookmark libraries may be accessed from other versions/profiles if necessary, and multiple versions can be run concurrently. ( I talk from a Windows perspective, but it is unlikely Linux is going to differ)

My mac turns off when the battery reach full charge, what's wrong?

It was working all right, but
after a trip, the Mac didn't start, when i try to start the mac only with the battery,
Started normally, i worked that way for a few moments, then i start to charge the battery,
a soon the battery reached full charge the mac turns off and i couldn't restarted.
Again i try only with only the battery, everything was normal again.

Turning off automatic update checks

How do you turn off automatic update checks?
Not only do these pop up on their own even though I have all the 'update' options in iTunes set to manual, but when they do pop up, they do so in a top priority fashion, kicking me out of whatever else I might be doing.
Why can't such updates be done solely when I am going into iTunes?
Thanks

Welcome to AD!
It might not be the updater from iTunes. When you install iTunes, you also get a little program called Apple Software Updater.
You can uninstall that from Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs. You will still be able to go into iTunes and check for updates with it gone.

Is it possible to turn off the updates that make your iphone need to be activated again?

Is it possible to turn off the updates that make your iphone need to be activated again? Because you need wifi in order to activate and sometimes I don't have wifi so my iphone becomes unusable untill I get wifi again.

I'm sorry but it says 8.1.2 on my phone when I check for the info about the software.
The issue I have is that on random moments it asks me to activate my phone ( I think after an update or some kind ) but sometimes I have no access to wifi to activate it so I was wondering if I could make that stop?
I'm sorry for the strange explanation, english isn't my mothertongue

How to turn off auto update in numbers?

G'day, working with a large spreadsheet... is there any way to turn off auto-update in Numbers?
cheers
Mark

Hi Mark,
No. Numbers recalculates the whole table when any change is made to that table. The use of (multiple) header rows, header columns and footers rows exacerbates the issue. There is no way provided to shut off the auto-recalculation.
Feature enhancements requests (for future editions) may be made using the Provide Numbers Feedback item in the Numbers menu (or by clicking the link in this message).

Barry

How do I turn off automatic update ! ! !

Someone please help. I need to know how to turn off automatic update..fast

Anne,
I hope this information is still going to be useful to you:

I don't know why you're asking this question but if it's applicable heed the warning about backing up your music. Otherwise you run the very real risk of losing your music.
And that's not a good thing.
