Software Update will not turn off

After upgrading to Leopard, software update persists and asks to update every 10 minutes. Unchecking 'Check Automatically' does not help (box becomes rechecked). This is a PowerBook G4 17". Is there a preference file that can be flushed somewhere?

i am having the same problem (software update version 3.0.1, MacBook version 2.1, OSX.5.2). and lately there is not even a software update available. I have never had this problem before, and it just started doing this about 3 weeks ago.
I have tried the solutions that have already been posted with no luck either.

  • My daughters ipod will not turn off and it is frozen on the apple icon screen. Tried to update software, didn't work. Tried to restore, didn't work. Anybody know what to do next?

    My daughters ipod touch will not turn off and is frozen on the Apple icon screen. Tried to update software, didn't work. Tried to restore, didn't work. Does anybody know what else to try?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • After recent updates, mute light will not turn off

    My computer downloaded a bunch of system updates last night, and now the mte light will not turn off.  It still functions properly (turning sound on/off), but the light stays on regardless.  I either have windows 8 or 8.1 not sure what's the difference.
    This question was solved.

    I suggest using Windows system restore to roll back the updates, one at a a time to find the  one that caused it.

  • After installing iTunes and iPod, my computer will not turn off

    I am running Windows XP, and have just installed my new iPod nano and iTunes. Now my computer will not turn off. When I select "Turn off computer" in the start menu, the computer goes through the usual process of shutting down -- then it restarts automatically every time! Once it has started up again, it sends an Error report to windows -- but they are not coming forward with a solution for this problem. It appears as a problem created by an "Unknown device driver". I now have to turn my computer off by the wall. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Try running the Combo update first ... OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo), and once it is successfully downloaded, then try to download 10.8.5.
    Sometimes the combo will correct any minor glitches in the system and also ensure all necessary updates to that point are included.

  • My Ipod suddenly has a white screen and will not turn off.  What can I do?, My Ipod suddenly has a white screen and will not turn off.  What can I do?

    My daughter was playing on her Ipod Touch when the screen went white.  It will not turn off or do anything.  Has anyone else had this problem and know what may work?

    The same thing just happened to my new ipod today while i was trying to use an app. A lot of people say that it is caused by an ios update, but I let the battery on my ipod drain until it turned off.  Once i charged it, it turned on and is working normally again

  • Light on iphone4 flash will not turn off even when phone is powered down, now it is overheated and says not usable till cooled, but it won't cool.  I'm afraid it will start a fire.

    light on iphone4 flash will not turn off even when phone is powered down, now it is overheated and says not usable till cooled, but it won't cool.  I'm afraid it will start a fire.  Aside from breaking it, putting in in a metal pail in the yard, or putting it in a bucket of water, what can be done to keep it from setting a fire.  It is so hot it burns my skin if i touch it, so bright, it hurts to look at, so hot there is now a warning that it is not usable till it cools down, but there is no way to cool it down. 

    more info, this happened after update to 7.0.2, and also wifi will no longer turn on since update.  I took it in to apple store, it had one month left on warrenty, and they said that it would have had to get wet for this to happen.  I thought that maybe it got wet through my jeans pocket in the rain or something so I didn't pursue it.  Now of course, it is out of warranty by a month. 

  • My ipod will not turn off please help???

    Everything works on my ipod, but it will not turn off. It will play and pause but not turn off.

    I too have had this problem. In fact it seems to be a fairly common problem, suggesting that it is an unaddressed bug.
    Here's what you can try:
    1. Reset your iPod by holding down the Menu and Select buttons simultaneously for 5-10 seconds. After your iPod reboots, see if it will turn off. If not:
    2. Restore your iPod using iPod Updater, which you can download from http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/ . Restoring your iPod will delete all songs, pictures etc and reload the iPod's operating system. If that doesn't fix it, you can:
    3. Try a work-around. Can you turn it off using the Sleep menu option? If you don't see that in the main iPod menu, go to Settings/Main Menu and turn on the Sleep menu option. This didn't work for me, but others have een able to turn their Nanos off this way.
    If none of these things work, your only option is to have Apple replace you iPod. You can do this by contacting Apple support, or by going to the Genius Bar at an Apple retail store.
    Several people (including me) have seen the not-turning-off problem in conjunction with the Nano frequently showing a message saying that firewire connections are not supported. In my case my Nano became unusable because the firewire message would pop up so often that I couldn't navigate through the menus to get it to play anything. I took my Nano to an Apple store and the Genius Bar guy replaced it on the spot. Unfortunately the replacement also doesn't work (headphone jack doesn't work so I can't hear any music) so I will have to go back again, but don't let my run of bad luck prevent you from getting a replacement.

  • Ipod shuffle green statuslight will not turn off

    Dear
    I tried several times to reset my ipot shuffle,
    and to install new from the original ipod CD.
    In itunes there is no problem, Ican see the ipot in the list, and there is no failure.
    But when I disconnect it, and turn it on with the switch,
    the green status led on the front is lightning, and it will
    not turn off.
    When I push buttons, there is no response.
    Before this failure, the green status light went out
    after 3 seconds when switch on.
    what can I do?
    I dont feel like wasting my time trying to get it
    running again. What I need is a clear discribtion
    what to do, because I did find nothing with this
    sympthom.
    Cheers A.O.

    I have the same problem. It happend when I deleted and reinstalled the Itunes software. The software installation ask to "format" the Ipod, the applcation crashed and since then I can download music in the Ipod, I can see it connected to Itune and to My Computer, but I cannot use it to listened to music by itself. The green light doesn't turn off and nothing happen.
