Software Update comes on everytime I start up my computer

It is really annoying. I have it set to check for software updates every week but every time I start my computer the update app comes on any suggestions?

I should have said move to desktop first. A new one will be created when you set software update preferences. If all is well then delete it

  • Software Updater comes on, states that I urgently need this update. Yet when I agree the s/w update server connection goes on an on but do not seem to connect. What is the problem?

    I have a Dell PC. This Software Updater comes on saying I need to update . I states that I urgently need this update! Norton says okay. I go ahead and approve. Then it start...updater connecting to update server... and it goes on an on and on. until I turned it off.
    I have done that several times. I have even left it on to go on about my business. But apparently it hasn't unloaded anything because it keeps coming back on when I start up my computer.
    Is this your updater?

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I'm using a macbook pro with version 10.6.8 installed. whenever i try to install my software updates, it immediately asks me to restart my computer to finish the installation. after doing so and signing back on to my account no updates have been installed

    I'm using a macbook pro with version 10.6.8 installed. Whenever I try to install my software updates, it immediately asks me to restart my computer to finish the installation. After doing so and signing back on to my account, nothing has changed and no updates have been installed. It still says the same 8 items need to be installed, and the same process occurs again. Any idea how I can fix this?

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

  • After downloading the latest version of iTunes and updating my iPhone everytime I turn on my computer I get a message that reads: AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found. Does anybody know what this means?

    After downloading the latest version of iTunes and updating my iPhone, everytime I turn on my computer I receive a message that reads: "AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found. The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQlite.dll" Help! Does anybody know what this means and how I can fix it? Thanks.

    Yes.  I just solved the problem on my PC.  Here goes...
    Issue:  My Windows7 computer was producing the pop up box with the error text as you described.
    The Problem: You have another application on your computer that uses the like named .DLL file... in this case a DLL supporting SQLite on your local PC.
    Solution: 
    1.  You need to use the Windows File search feature to look for the name "SQLite".  This will quickly locate the offending DLL in the other application.
    2. Decide which program you like the most, in my case "Mobile Me", and uninstall the offending application.
    3.  Uninstall Mobile Me.
    4.  Restart your PC.
    5.  Reinstall Mobile Me.
    6.  Mobile Me should sync at this point, but if not, restart the PC once again.
    In my case, the offending program was my Aptana Studio development application.  I had recently the SQLite3 database to my Ruby On Rails configuration...
    This is where the file was located:
    C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Aptana Studio 2.0\plugins\com.aptana.radrails.sqlite3.win32_3.5.7.1278709071\vendor\SQLite3.d ll
    I hope this helps,
    Ron

  • HT4962 Any ideas how to get my software updated on my IPOD 3rd Generation when my computer times out?  I have tried several times and it appears to take 30 plus hours. How Frustrating, not to mention the kids are too!

    If the iTunes purchases are not in your iTunes library you can redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If you restore from backup, not that synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup and thus if those items are not in the iTunes library they can't be restored to the iPod during the latter part of the restore process.

  • Latest software update 10.3.1.1565 Start up boot problems

    This is really getting very annoying and very unprofessional.
    After browsing all solutions, the problem of not being able to properly start your phone seems to be linked to the new software update and can only be solved by removing your battery more than one time ( 3 times). Eevry day need to remove the battery several times before being able to use my smartphone.
    I am waiting for the re-release of the previous software version, because this costs me too much time and annoyance.
    Apart from all other problems linked to this version.
    When is BB (RIM)  taking action ? with a re-release of the 'old"version that worked just fine.

    Hello,
    BB has released about 3 OS versions in the last week or so. However, it remains in the control of the carriers if/when to release those to their end users. If you want to jump the queue, you can do so via Sachesi or (my recommendation) AutoLoader.
    Good luck!

  • Airport Express software update reminder each time at start up

    Why do I get Airport Express software update for 5.4.2 reminder each time at start up? I try to update from 5.4.1 by clicking update button, and zoom, the Airport Express screen disappears and no update begins. Your help is appreciated.

    I'm not getting an update message, so I can't re-create your view, but this might help.
    Open AirPort Utility. On the AirPort Utility menu right next to the Apple icon, select Check for Updates.
    Any help?

  • After stalled software update, my iBook will not start up all the way.

    Here's my problem:
    I was almost done with software update when the process seemed to stall for no apparent reason. The software update status screen said my iBook was 67% done with hard drive optimization, and stayed in this state for 15-20 minutes. The computer itself was not frozen, however, so I forced quit and tried to restart the machine.
    On the restart, however, I couldn't get out of the gray screen with a status circle made up of small rectangles. I tried to force restart, but the situation did not improve.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks.
    -Aaron

    Welcome to Apple Discussions Aaron
    Force quit in the middle of an installation spells "trouble". Try starting the computer in Safe Mode. If successful, restart the computer and see if it fully boots. If not, you more than likely have directory damage that needs to be repaired. Disk Utility may be up to the task.

  • Software update, now apps won't start?

    I just updated the software in my girlfriend's Iphone 3gs, and now the downloaded apps wind up on a separate page, and they won't start up. Their title pages just flash onscreen, then discontinue. No error messages.

    It sounds ljke you interrupted an update that was failing. You said it was reinstalling upon reboot? Something's wrong there.
    Clone the external drive to the internal.
    Use Disk Utility to Restore your external to the internal or download and use CarbonCopyCloner.

    @santoshhs
    Welcome to the forum!
    Question is now is N8 on/off, you need to try depressing power button for 8 seconds until you feel 3 vibrations (this is same as removing battery)?
    As a last resort as precursor to returning device you probably need to try a three button depressed power on "hard reset", although if successful all data would be erased from device with some media consequences not all recoverable unfortunately.
    Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

  • Mac book pro downloaded software update and now it wont start. Ideas?

    macbook pro downloaded iOS6 and then when I rebooted i get a blank screen with apple logo and 3 beeps. What to do?

    Three beeps on startup usually indicates bad RAM. Have you replaced your RAM modules recently? One or both modules may have just failed. The best thing you can do is take your machine to your local Apple Store or AASP and have them run diagnostics. I don't think it would have anything to do with an iOS download.

    I WAS LOOKING FOR P1006 LASERJET PRINTER WHICH I LOVE AND COULD NOT FIND ANOTHER ONE. I BOUGHT THE CLOSEST THING TO IT, A HP 1102W LASERJET ON MAY 24TH 2010 FROM STAPLES.

THE LOADED SOFTWARE IS GONE AFTER I TURN THE PC OFF. WHEN THE PC IS TURNED BACK ON THE USB  "SEES" THE PRINTER BECAUSE I SEE AN HOURGLASS APPEAR, BUT IT WON'T PRINT ANYTHING. I HAVE BEEN ON THE PHONE TO HP INDIA SUPPORT FOR OVER 2 HOURS AND THEY TOLD MY ME PC WAS MISSING A PROGRAM. ALSO MADE ANOTHER TO CALLS TO INDIA, NO LUCK. STAPLES TOLD ME IT WAS MY COMPUTER, SO I TRIED MY OTHER XP PC AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS! BUT MY HP1006 LASERJET SEEMS TO WORK FINE ON BOTH COMPUTERS! WHEN I CALLED HP  I SAID I WANT TO RETURN THIS FOR A HP P1006 LASERJET EVEN IF IT IS REFURBISHED. THEY SAID THEY CAN ONLY GIVE ME ANOTHER P1102W. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THEY HAVE TO TROUBLESHOOT SOME MORE WITH ME FIRST. I SAID NO WAY, I HAVE OVER 3 HOURS PHONE TIME INTO THIS AND 5 HOURS AT MY COMPUTER DELETEING AND RELOADED THIS BUGGED SOFTWARE. MY TIME IS WORTH SOMETHING, BUT THEY DON'T THINK SO. THEY DON'T GIVE A CRAP. I AM ABOUT TO SEND THEM A BILL. I AM TYPING THIS ALL CAPS BECAUSE I AM SHOUTING, I AM SO PISSED OFF!

    I PURCHASED A NEW HP P1600DN ON NOVEMBER 27, 2010. IT WOULD NOT STAY ON LONG ENOUGH TO PRINT MORE THAN 2 PAGES. ITALKED TO THE FOLKS IN INDA, THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, OFFERED TO REPLACE MY NEW PRINTER WITH A REFURBISHED ONE. SAME MODEL. I SAID NO THANKS, TOOK IT BACK TO STABLES, EXCHANGE IT FOR A P1102W. WELL IT DOES THE SAME THING.
    I AM OUT $189.00 AND NO PLACE TO GO. STABLES WILL ONLY GIVE YOU A CASH CARD WHICH IS ONLY GOOD AT STABLES.
