Stop getting software update for printer I no longer have

I continue to receive software update notifications for a Cannon Inkjet printer that I replaced two years ago with an HP.  I have deleted all Cannon software and applications I can find via spotlight.  These notifications are embedded in the OS X notification "update available."  How do I get rid of them?

Have you checked System Preferences > Printers & Scanners to make sure the Canon printer is removed?  If not, remove it.
If the printer does not appear in (1) above, reset the printing system.

  • Where do I go to get software updates for my wireless printer hp 4620 series

    I have a wireless printer hp 4620 series. It came with an installer cd that only allows use of OS X , Mountain Lion, and Lion. My system is OS Yosemite. The cd told me that the installation was not recommended and I should get software update from Apple. but did not give me a link as to where I could go. Please help! I need to re-establish my wireless connection between my Apple and my printer. ASAP.

    It should print with old drivers but you need the updated drivers for scanning.

  • Keep getting auto updates for printer which I no longer have.

    I uninstalled my canon inkjet printer.  At least I believe I did - it doesn't come up when I run a search on Finder.  However I keep getting auto updates for it, which I would like to stop getting.  I may be slow but can't figure out how to do this.... thanks.

    Try going to the hard drive level Library/Printers and delete the Canon folder there.

  • HT201070 how can I stop getting this update for "Ditigal camera RAW"?

    There is some confusion about how to apply the method in the replies to that topic. A somewhat easier to understand explanation is at http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/hide-a-software-update-in-os-x-mountain-l ion, among other places on the web.
    Note that you may need to click on the "more" item to see individual system software updates.
    That said, the others are right: the RAW format updates are tiny & it is hardly worth the effort to hide them or to worry about the disk space they use.

  • Can't get Software Update for 755p to work

    I've followed the directions explicitly but at the point where I point the memory card into the Treo for the update it doesn't work.  How does the software update (1.08) get onto the memory card?  Do I download it onto my computer, double-click the zip file and copy it all into the PALM folder on my Mac?
    here's the site I'm using:

    Hi Alan,
    Yes, I reformatted/erased the card.
    I'm wondering if there is a snag in how I need to get the downloaded new softeware from my computer to the card.  I have tried both dragging the zip file directly into the Palm folder and, opening it first and then dragging all items in.
    thank you for your help.

    If you mean upgrade the HP software for your Mac, get it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
    If you mean firmware for your printer, enable Web Services then go to Setup > Preferences > Update Product.

  • How do I get software updates for WindowsXP on Firefox3.6.8

    I had a problem with IE and started using Firefox as my browser. Ever since I started using Firefox my Windows Update feature will not open. It tries to open IE then the box abruptly closes. I also have not seen the automatic update icon on the desktop since using Firefox. Is there a fix or some sort of solution that won't involve a lot of time and effort.

    I'll suggest you to uninstall your IE and then reinstall IE for the Windows Update. Personally, I don't trust any other sites except Microsoft for any of their security updates. There are just too many hackers for Microsoft out there.

    It means that Apple is no longer producing the iPad 3rd generation....they are no longer making that version. The iPad 4 and the Mini iPad will both be running iOS 6 just like the iPad 3 is running (if you have updated) and there is no reason to believe that the iPad 3 will not be supported with software updates for some time to come.
    So yes - you will be able to get software updates for the iPad 3 in the future.

  • Itunes says that the version of software on my ipod touch 3rd gen is up to date, but IOS 5 is avaliable. I have checked for software updates for days but it keeps saying that 4.2.1 is the current version. Why cant i get IOS 5?

    because you do not have a 3rd generation device. The OS Version says so , otherwise you would be at 4.3.5 minimum and also Itunes is also always correct in determining if you have the latest OS ( if not it fetches the newest from Apple's Servers ) . And because a 2nd generation iPod stops at 4.2.1 you can't get the newest OS, because your device is old. Buy a new iPod , they have iOS5 preinstalled.

  • Hello, I am running a Mac book pro soft. 10.5.8 version. Since june the current year I did not get any updates for the software or any kinds of other application, in my opinion that's weird for such a company.

    The problem that I have now is with the Iphone 5 which is not supported for the current Itunes and I can not download the Itunes 10.7 version. What I supposed to do in this case because I can not syncronize at all.
    Please give me a hand as soon as possible.
    Many thanks

    Mac OS X 10.5.8 is years old, 3 major versions out-of-date and unsupported at this point. You will never get any further updates for 10.5.8, and more and more applications will stop supporting 10.5.8 as time goes on. As mende1 points out, you can buy Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6), which will let you use your new iPhone with your computer, but you need to make sure your computer's hardware is supported. See the system requirements for Snow Leopard:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If your computer cannot run Snow Leopard, you will need to either buy a new computer or abandon any thoughts of syncing the iPhone with that computer.
    Also, note that you'll get far better integration of your iPhone and your Mac if you're using Lion (Mac OS X 10.7) or Mountain Lion (Mac OS X 10.8), which are required to use iCloud. Of course, the requirements of those systems are even steeper than those of Snow Leopard:

  • Software Update for Brother printers disabled my printer

    This morning I installed a Software Update for Brother printers and now I can't print.  Every time I try, I was gettting an error message that says some of my software is missing and it asked if I wanted to install it.  A window opened looked like it was looking in Software Update and it didn't find any software.  I deleted the printer in Printers and Faxes and downloaded the CUPS driver from Brother that says it's compatible with OS 10.7.  Now I can't add the printer.  When I go through the steps to add the printer, for Print Using I select HL-2140 series, which is the model of my printer.  I click on Add and the Add Printer window starts looking for the printer software, but I think it's looking in Software Update.  The message comes up "the software for this printer is currently unavailabe.  Please contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software.  I did that, but how can I get it to use the driver I downloaded from Brother instead of looking for it in Software Update?

    This helped with both my Brother printer and my HP AIO.  I was having marginal printer function after installing OS X Lion, then replace the Airport Express with an Airport Extreme.  That knocked out everything....After several days of loading and reloading programs in different permutations, this relatively simple step was the charm.
    THANKS!!

  • Signed up for free software download of Lion, I got the code to redeem it on the App Store but lost the code, how can I retrieve it to get the software update for free?

    I bought my new Macbook on July 23, so that qualified me for the free Lion software update. I entered in all my info and then accidently clicked out of the screen before I wrote down the code to redeem it.  I tried to do it again but of course it said my system had already been issued a redeem code.  Is there a way I can get it back so I can get the update for free?
