Safari auto-update - how do I update something I do not have?

I have autoupdate configured to run automatically to keep my iTunes client up to date. Yesterday when it ran I got an unexpected result. The updater wanted me to update Safari - to be honest, I didn't even know what Safari was, it is not installed on my machine.
I am trying to understand why an opt-out "update" was pushed on my machine for a product that I do not own. How can you update something you do not have?
Can someone verify if this push is even really from Apple - it seems more like some kind of malware?

It didn't stop with Safari. This is what I got:

Note: I already have the latest Safari-, QuickTime and iTunes-version installed and don't have AirPort or CD/DVD-Sharing. In fact, I even don't have a MacBook Air.
I already informed Apple about this issue some time ago, but they don't answer me.

Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated. How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated? In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

iOS 7 allows you to have your apps update automatically. Therefore, the list of what has been updated stays so that you can see what was updated, when and what the release notes say. It has been suggested that they list has a limit, much like Recents. Currently, there is no way for the user to delete the entries manually. Just try not to look at them.

Please download iTunes from Apple.com and then sync your ipad.After which your ipad will appear on the right hand side upper corner of iTunes.Select your ipad and click check for update,once update has been found click update and follow the steps after that.

To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

I have a Power Book OS 10.4.11 and cant access my radio library. I believe I deleted something I should not have. How do I reload Itunes and will I loose my music I loaded?

If you mean the listing of internet streams that seems to have disappeared for many users of older iTunes versions over week ago. Probably some update at Apple broke older versions. No idea if it will ever come back but you can open stream URLs you find on the web and save them in playlists.

Okay, I left off a lot of important information...
I'm using two tables
TWDATA
EVENT
From TWDATA I'm pulling the fields TWDATA.OrderNumber and TWDATA.DisbursementDate
From EVENT I'm pulling the fields EVENT.EventCode and EVENT.CompletedDate
The two tables are linked by OrderNumber.

HT1284 How can I backup word documents and not have them crowd my screen? Thanks.

Hi. How can I backup word documents and not have them crowd my screen? I know, you guessed it. I'm a novice, but not ashamed!

Please explain what you mean when you say backup Word documents crowds your screen.
I don't see any connection between backup and your screen.

How do i get past the "do not have sufficient privileges" error message installing flashplayer?

how do i get past the "do not have sufficient privileges" error message installing flashplayer? i've googled the problem and seen the other solutions and for some reason cannot get any of them to work for me.

I've recommended several things here in the forums and like you, I've seen zero success.
Run as Administrator = no luck.
Take ownership of the c drive = no luck.
Create a new (admin) account = no success.
I've even seen one poster who reformatted and reinstalled Window 7, and no luck.
Frankly, I'm at a total loss.

Who needs newsstand ? It depends if you enjoy reading the newspaper or magazines in your spare time. Back in the day, you find that small child delivering your morning newspaper.

Now Newsstand, fix that by delivering the news you love to your iOS device. Drink some coffee, while flipping pages on your phone or iPad. Guess what? You saving the earth, no one stealing your paper and is available anytime you want. Plus their subscriptions are cheap, so view the link to read more about it.

Where was the one that you moved to your desktop before you moved it to the desktop?
I really don't understand what you're trying to say. If I have a folder in A, and I move it to B, then the folder will be in B. There is no duplication. I still have only one folder, only the location is different.
Furthermore, your desktop is on your hard drive. Everything is on your hard drive.

I cannot update Safari. I am running Lion and am stuck on Safari 4.0.4 Running Update Software is useless as it ignores my old Safari software. How do I update Safari manually?

I cannot update Safari! My iMac is running Lion. I try using Software Update but it tells me everything is okay. My current version of Safari is 4.0.4 Very out of date. My problem seems to be only with Safari. Can anyone tell me how to manually update Safari?

Is your Safari app located (free-standing) in your Applications folder?
