[Solved] Update notifications

Sorry for such a noob question, but I signed up for the arch-announce mailing lists, from what I understood I would receive email notifications about new updates? I've not received a single mail (I did receive the welcome to arch-announce mail).
Yesterday I updated to the new kernel, systemd and few others after making a backup, but I couldn't find any info about these updates. I looked around, checked the homepage and the forums but there was no info to be found.
Where do I read up about these (and future) updates?
Thanks.

honestly I wasn't sure what I was looking for, nor what to expect. I suppose I expected something because I thought it was big and important and it was my update on Arch . I wanted to be a good boy make sure I was informed as per the update info here on the noob board.
Hats off though, it updated without a hitch .
So, basically, if there are no announcements and there's no info on the homepage or here on the board, there should generally be no problem updating important things like kernels and systemd?

How to remove keynote update notification from App Store?

Hi guys, I am trying to remove Keynote and Page update notifications showing on App Store (since I don't use those apps). I have already deleted them from App folder.
Right click on the notification does not show "remove" option (nor any other option). Any thoughts?
Best,
Manuel.

Hi Imp68,
You were right, I used migration assistant earlier and it seems that it created another folder for keynote and pages ( /Applications/iWork '09 ) and I missed to see it. Deleting it solved my issue. Thanks for the tip!
Best,
Manuel.

Hi mui2g6,
Did you installed a firmware via software? It seems to be the problem.
Regarding the cogs, this is the solution, taken from another forum:
==========================================================
After spending 8 hours trying to recover from spinning gears following a hard reset, of all the methods I tried, this is the one that worked:
-Phone was showing spinning gears
-Battery was low
-Took Sim card out
-I logged into find my phone and erased my phone using the on-line feature:https://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/my
-Let it sit for 1 hour then turned it off
-Press and hold the Volume down & Power buttons until the phone vibrates then release the power button but keep pressing the volume down key for approximately 10 seconds until you see a low battery on the screen.
-If you don’t get the low batt and you get the Nokia lego then press the following buttons in this order;
--Volume UP
--Volume DOWN
--POWER
--Volume DOWN.
-Your phone will now automatically reboot and try again till you get the low batt
-When the low batt shows up do nothing, it will turn off by itself
-Let sit for 1 hour and turn back on
-Press and hold the Volume down & Power buttons until the phone vibrates then release the power button but keep pressing the volume down key for approximately 10 seconds until you see a low battery on the screen.
-Plug your phone into the charger when you see the low batt
-If you don’t get the low batt and you get the Nokia lego and go back to the spinning gears of death then press the following buttons in this order;
--Volume UP
--Volume DOWN
--POWER
--Volume DOWN.
-Plug your phone into the charger when you see the low batt but not till you see it
-Now press the following buttons in this order;
--Volume UP
--Volume DOWN
--POWER
--Volume DOWN.
-Your phone will now automatically reboot it will show the spinning gears again but within 10 mins it will start up as a new device.
==========================================================
Remember you have to download official upgrades from your carrier, otherwise the phone won't be able to show some features.
Kind regards,

How do I stop iOS update notifications in the middle of the night?

How do I stop the iOS update notifications in the night. I do not need bright white update message while sleeping.

Settings App > Notification Center > App Store. You can take it out of Notifications altogether, or adjust the settings. (Turning OFF Show in Lock Screen might be enough).

I AM USING VR5.0 HOW DO I STOP GETTING UPDATE NOTIFICATIONS FOR BETA UPDATES INSTEAD OF JUST WHEN UPDATE IS FINALIZED FOR GENERAL USE?

MY QUES SUMS UP THE ISSUE.....I ONLY WANT UPDATE NOTIFICATIONS FOR THE FINAL UPDATE OF A NEW VERSION

You settings and such are in a separate place and not in the Firefox program folder as has been the case since the browser was known as Phoenix 0.1
Your settings like Bookmarks, history and such are in a Profile. If you uninstall Firefox and then install same or another version you will find that your settings are still there since it will use the last Profile used unless selected otherwise upon Firefox start.

How to stop update notifications for specific software updates

NOTE: I apologize in advance for the extreme length of my post & hope that someone will be willing to read it all & then be willing to help... Thanks!
I have been continually getting a Software Update notification for "Migration Assistant Update for Lion" (described "This update provides compatibility for migrating to a Mac running OS X Mavericks.") for quite a while now. IMHO, I consider my Mac knowledge/tech experience level (on a scale of 1-10, where 10 is a Mac Guru) to be about maybe 6 or 7 on average (&von a good day maybe an 8). That's assuming, of course, something like this can be quantified in that way. LOL! ;-) Anywho, I digress... Back to my question... As a general rule I don't immediately jump & install every single new update that comes out for all of my technology/electronics, no matter if Apple or Google tells me to do so. Obviously, I take all notices regarding security seriously & immediately research (unless it's forced upon me) it thoroughly before installing. This is ESPECIALLY true for apps in Apple's app store or Google Play Store, & I read a lot of the user reviews, as well as trusted tech gurus on the Web. Because NOT EVERY update is truly an improvement (mostly b/c of the failure to FULLY test them before releasing, more like unleashing, them to the public...Microsoft has mastered this FUBAR technique to absolute 'perfection', or something like that...haha!) OY, I'm so sorry for continually getting off topic. Okay, seriously now, here's what I want to know: Is there any way to tell Apple I don't want to install one of their recommended updates & also to stop bugging me about it? I'm specifically referring to the one I mentioned above. Everything I found online about Mavericks made me want to stay VERY FAR AWAY from it. I could be wrong or found bad info, but I don't think so. Please let me know if I'm wrong, because I really want to make the best/most informed decision possible. Thanks!
That being said, today I received notifications about Apple's latest security update (2014-001), plus one for Safari. I plan to install the security update for sure & most likely the one for Safari (even though I stopped using it months ago & started using either Chrome, Opera or Firefox - I still haven't picked a fave, but use Chrome 90% of the time... I'm open to suggestions about these apps too...)... But, I don't want to mess with the "Migration Assistant" one.
I would really love some help from my fellow Mac users... I apologize for being long winded & will try to reign in that nagging writing flaw in future posts. Also, I apologize if I've missed something that's totally obvious & easily found on this or other forums/sites, but I really did try to find an answer before posting my question here...
Thanks Mucho to all of you who were able to read through my mini-novel (& not fall asleep in the process) & actually found my question at the end!! I would like to say "THANK YOU!!" in advance for any & all help y'all are willing to provide!!! :-D
Hope you have a FANTABULOUS day! (^_-) Sincerely, Care ;-)

Wow, now that I see how extremely long my post is on screen, I'm a wee bit embarrassed... I'm hoping someone will be willing to overlook this annoying factor & provide a suggestion... :-/ Signed w/shame, Care :-/

HT201270 I have an iPad 3rd gen. A carrier settings update notification has appeared on my screen, and it doesn't do anything when I press either 'update' or 'not now' . Because the notification is still there, I am unable to use any apps or shut it down.

Have you tried a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider. Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

Delete update from App store update notification window

I have a Mplayer X software update notification that I can't get rid of. When I click the update button a dialog ballon pops up that says: You have updates available for other accounts. Sign in to [email protected] to update applications for that account. I have no idea what that means and I don't believe I ever had a Mac.com account. I have since then updated MPlayer X by other means yet this notification persists. It says the release date was May 02, 2012 just to give you an idea of how long this has been annoying me.
The consensus seems to be you just have to put up with the annoyance but I think my particular issue differs from the others I've seen posted here.

You installed a hacked application, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different application, downloaded from another account. You need to identify and remove the hacked application.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any applications were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you know of, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
If any of the items listed in the search window are not listed among your purchases in the App Store, move them to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.

How do I get rid of an app update notification that doesn't apply to my version of OS

I have an app on my iMac which is running Snow Leopard. A recent udate has been issued that only applies to Lion OS but the update notification still shows on my App Store. I can't get rid off it even if I try downloading it. Any suggestions please?

HI Dennis...
Try dragging the App Store icon straight up off the Dock so it goes, "poof" ...
Now go to your Applications folder. Drag the App Store icon to the Dock.
Restart your Mac.
Hopefully the update badge is gone.

Update notification remains after update installed. How to I get rid of the notification?

I installed the iPhoto update 9.4.1 but the update notification remains. I've checked iPhoto and it is definitely showing that 9.4.1 is installed.
How do I get rid of the unwanted notification?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.5)

Try deleting the cache, cookies, and preference files associated wtih the App Store then restart your Mac.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste:    ~/LIbrary/Caches/com.apple.appstore
Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
Type or copy/paste:    ~/Library/Cookies
Click Go then move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Type or copy/paste:    ~/Library/Preferences
Click Go then move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
See if that made a difference ...

Update Notification doesn't work on Oracle11g

Hi
I'm using ODP.NET 11.1.0.6.0 which is accompanied with Oracle11gR1.
When I use OracleDependency to get update notification,
There are 2 problems:
1. I can't receive update notification, when I change data.
2.Port property of OracleDependency doesn't affect listening port.

Are there any problem in the following code.

Nobody had this trouble...?
I even tried DFU mode - to no luck! Gutted about this, because otherwise its perfect... but I am beginning to suspect something is really wrong with it now.
Well, there is good news - I called Apple, spoke to a fantastic chap called DJ and he's sorting out a replacement for me. I can't afford to be without my iPhone, so paid the fee to get a replacement sent out first. I guess these things happen, and better to sort it out in warranty, than out of.
But seriously, nobody experienced this at all??

Update Notification Download Button Issue

Hi,
Not really sure if this should be in the General area or in the Bugs & Issues area... so please moderator(s) please move this if it needs it...
Was just informed about an update to the Flash Player ... so hit the download and ran the installer... it started to automatically download McAfee Scan Program, (which I did not, nor have I ever included for download/installation) ....
The download button on the update notifier should be pointed to the page where it asks if you want the McAfee software as well... it does not currently do this. is automatically download the installer that calls for both the McAfee and Flash Player to download and install...
This is a backhanded method to have unwanted software installed on a consumer's computer...
I recommended updating the download button to stop at the page that asks if you want the McAfee sofware as well
Just my 2 cents...

unfortunately no i didnt think to screencap this, nor had i thought to do it as it took me my surprise when it happened and i didnt think to deliberately duplicate the issue... but i can try to explain the process step by step that I personally encountered....
I rebooted my machine (well i had a stack dump and it decided it was time... gotta love windows)...
during the startup sequence the update notification window came up with a download button on it... just saying there's a flash player update and do you want to download it...
so sure hit the download button thinking it was one of those hotfixes that already downloaded and it would just apply it like it usually when say shockwave updates...
however instead it opened a "would you like to save this exe file to your computer" dialog box thru firefox and so said go for it... and it downloaded it...
i then went into windows explorer and launched it ... it started the download process of the flash player software... no problem...
then about 25% of the way through that another progress bar comes up telling me its now downloading the McAfee scanner software and i'm like 'oh hell no' and cancelled the download/installation/update process...
doing this cancellation brought me to a webpage at adobe saying that installation failed ... so i manually went to the flashplayer download page and UNCHECKED the mcafee option and then proceeded to try all over again...
it worked fine the second time doing it manually that way...
when it asked me to save this new exe file, i swear it was named exactly the same as the bundled software version ... i attempted to check but when i cancelled the original BAD install/upgrade attempt it deleted the original install/update file that i had downloaded... and it didnt send it the recycle bin either... as i checked
(same thing happened after the successful install of the non-bundled upgrade/installation ... it too vanished after it was done)
anyways... that's what happened to me... then i came here in a huff
hope this was a little helpful ... i'll be sure to fire up comtasia or some other screen capture video software next time i see that upgrade dialog box and send you a video if it happens again LOL

Software update notification (red circle) will not disappear even after download

Hi all, just a quick question. I updated my software last night after seeing the red, circular "1" update notification over the settings menu. Everything downloaded normally on both my ipad and iphone, but for some reason, the notification circle will not disappear on the iphone. I have synced it with my laptop, turned it off and on, and even reset all the phone's settings but that pesky red circle remains. I have tried just about everything I can think of outside of restoring it to factory settings and starting over. Honestly, I feel it should not come to this. To have to completely wipe my phone and start over because of something as simple as a software update is madness. I know this is a trivial thing to be so annoyed by but I use my phone often and anything out of the ordinary gets irritating quickly. Any advice or info would be much appreciated. Thanks guys!

The quickest way to try to fix it is to download the Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update Combo and manually install the update. It should fill in any missing gaps. I suggest dragging & dropping the Mac App Store into the Trash before the installation to let the update install a fresh version of the MAS.
