Quicktime won't stop asking to update

For about a year I have been getting a message "Quicktime needs to be updated" (or something like that...the message isn't up now). Below it says "Cancel" or "Do it Now". This happens on all programs that use QT (iTunes, Photoshop, Tivo Server, etc etc). In iTunes, my ipods won't sync unless I make the message go away. I have updated QT repeatedly, so I'm running the latest version, but this message still won't go away. It's driving me nuts. What is broken in QT to cause this?

Ok, so I have an update: I was just trying to "repair" Quicktime (ran the latest installer...gave me "repair" or "remove" options). Everything seemed to be going ok, until I reached a stage with the message "Initializing Quicktime types".......then it just hung. While it was hung up, I got that same old message again: "Some of your Quicktime software is out of date. You can fix this by updating to the latest version". I just about fell out of my chair laughing.......I was in the middle of update!!!! What is wrong here?

Aura won't stop asking to update

I have a Horizon 2e. A few weeks ago, a message came up, telling me that there was an update for Aura, and I could either update or have it ask later. No option for it to not update and not ask later!I have successfully run the update 3 times, but everyday it asks again. It is annoying.How can I get this to stop?

Hi Jubal_Droad,
Thanks for Posting!
There is a Program file under Lenovo Folder Program Files that is called
Alpha Upgrade Service
This app checks for an update and downloads and install
The app seems to be downloading the same version and cannot recognize that you already have the one it's trying to download causing it to download again.
One thing is that the Lenovo Alpha upgrade service is set to Run everytime you log in to the computer causing it to update everytime.
When you run the Task Scheduler you'll find the Alpha Upgrade Service configured as such. you can disable it there.
Still Don't know why the update won't give a notification that you have the latest or give a no available update message.

My iPad won't stop asking for my Apple ID no matter what I do. What do I do?

My iPad won't stop asking for my appl no matter what I do. I've tried resetting but I can't even look for waiting apps, because it won't stop asking.

Did you check if you are still logged in with your info in Settings/iTunes and AppStore/AppleID?
If yes, Did you try to log out, reset the iPad, and log in again with your Apple ID?

How do I make my Airport Extreme Base Station stop asking to update?

For awhile my Airport base station has been periodically asking to update its firmware. But since everything is working fine and I've seen reports of windows computers having trouble connecting after stepping up to that version I'd rather leave it be. Is there any way to force it to stop checking/asking? It's a bit annoying that every time I turn on my computer the Airport Utility pops up demanding my attention.

Open AirPort Utility on your Mac and click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab/label located just below the row of icons at the top of the window
Click the Options button near the bottom of the window
Remove the check mark next to Check for Firmware Updates on the next window
Click Done, then click Update to save your new settings and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart and power back up

Adobe Flash Player won't stop asking to install.

I'm using windows 7 and Mozilla firefox, but this problem happens even when I don't have a browser window opened.
Adobe flash player won't quit asking to install. probably once a minute i receive a (UAC)request to allow adobe flash player to install. Even with no browser windows open. EVEN WHILE I AM WATCHING FLASH VIDEOS, it is telling me to install it. It literally interupts everything I am doing, even when I'm not browsing the internet.
I currently have it completely uninstalled as far as i know. I used the adobe uninstaller available on this site. So there's no flash player or shockwave player installed on my computer... still receiving this request every minute or so.
It's ridiculous.
I tried running a virus scan, because thats the only thing I could possibly think of that would be this irritating, and it says that my computer is clean.
Is there some secret files somewhere I need to delete? I'm thinking of deleting the activex install files. I keep getting "The ActiveX Installer (AxInstSV) service entered the running state." in my event viewer, which seem to coincide with this issue.

I finally got it fixed but I'm not sure what fixed it.
here's everything i did:
Uninstalled all browsers.
Uninstalled all adobe stuff.
Uninstalled Java
Deleted anything left behind (i left browser stuff though because i wanted it to save my passwords and such).
disabled activexsvinst or something service. The activex installer service.
Used CC cleaner to clean up registry
Made sure to delete almost everything in user/local/temp folders and such (where adobe and java store stuff usually. I dunno might want to be careful doing this cause i dont know if there's important files there. Also some folders won't let you delete it but that just means you have to go inside the folder and select all then delete. The only file that should be in one of thosetemp folders is like fxsapidebug or something, in my opinion.)
rebooted
ran CC cleaner again.
rebooted
not sure if this helped but i also used HIJACKTHIS and uninstalled some browser helpers that didnt get deleted. In particular there was an adobe one i think. Cant really remember tho. Now that i look at hijackthis again, it couldn't have been this because the browsers helper stuff is still there.
I also ran about 500000000 virus scans with multiple scanning programs and none of them detected anything.
I've reinstalled Mozilla and flash and haven't had any problems since.
Hope this helps anybody else with the same problem.

Each time I upgrade, Firefox won't stop asking to be default browser

Each time I upgrade to the newest version, Firefox asks if I want it to be my default browser, and invites me to take the tour. I check the box to stop asking me, but it continues asking each time I open, and the invitation to the tour never goes away. These are so annoying I only use Firefox for one web site I use to grade college students an online course I teach. Windows 8.1
Thanks and regards, and happy holidays!

You can check for problems with preferences.
Delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

You may also have to remove the compatibility.ini file.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

After I upgraded to the newest version of PC Suite it starting flipping out telling me I need to reinstall the support on my phone. So I agreed and BAM it keeps telling me that part is built into the phone. OK.. So i remove all the support on the phone try again.. NO DICE. Uninstall PC Suite - reinstall it - No DICE.

And then the phone keeps asking me to do it. REALLY annoying. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Printer won't stop asking for password authentication

I have a 15 inch Macbook Pro 2007 with the grey keyboard. The rest of my family uses PCs and the household is a PC workgroup. I successfully joined the workgroup in Windows sharing mode. We have an Epson R340 printer that I sucessfully added. I can print, but the irratating thing is that every time I print, it always asks for authentication of the password. This will not stop. I even added to my keychain and it wil not stop. How can I stop this?

I have the exact same annoying problem. How come after years of development of Apple softwares such problems still exists???????

Won't Stop Prompt to Update Dictation. Help!

Just updated to Yosemite and my App Store will not stop prompting me to update Dictation 2.0.4 although it says it has already dowloaded. This happened with Itunes and other software updates in Mavericks.

I am having the same problem since the new update of OS X Yosemite
I am using MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2013), OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1

Stop asking to update apps

There are several apps that I have that I do not want to update - the new versions are terrible (AIM, Scrabble, etc) - I just want to use the old ones.
The problem is that there are a growing list of these, and it's a pain to revert to old versions when I accidently update one - like I had to do with Battleship when it added ads (to a paid app!) after the fact. Is there a way to keep iTunes from prompting me to upgrade an applications (or even listing them as available updates when I check)?
Ideally, I'd like them to disappear from the 'available update list' so I can then use the download all free updates option. In the absence of that, i'd settle for an 'ignore this update' option that just ignores the currently available update.
And yes, I know that they may eventually not work on a new version of iOS - at which point I'll stop using that app. The vendors seem totally oblivious to the thousands of 1-star reviews and negative comments that they are getting. I'd like to use the working version as long as I can, and then will drop it.

You must always use dad's ID to update the apps that you bought with his ID.You can never update those apps with your ID - unless of course you re purchase them using your own ID.

Do you still have access to the old email account? If so, see if you can verify the ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Verify (or Resend) under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email. Then go to the account and click the Verify Now link in the email from Apple.

DVD St. Pro won't stop asking for serial number even after I've entered it.

Hey everyone,
I just bought a new copy of Final Cut Studio 2, and I've installed everything. I've noticed, though, that DVD Studio Pro keeps asking me to enter the serial number upon startup even though I have already entered it multiple times. Any ideas?
