Stop Update Notifications for Apps beyond my OS

I'm using an iPhone 3G whose iOS only goes up to 4.2.1. Currently I have 18 app update notifications, but they're all for updates that require 4.3 or higher. Is there any way I can get it to stop notifiying me of these?
Thanks.

I'd like it to still notify me if an update comes that I can use. I just want to remove notifications for apps that I can't update on my phone.

  • How to stop update notification for one app (iMovie) that I do not want to update

    How to stop update notification for one app (iMovie) that I do not want to update. I do not want iMovie 10 taking up nearly 3 gb on my hard disc. iMovie 9 is just fine and only takes up 1.5 gb. But I get notifications to update and don't know how to turn it off. I've gone into the Purchases tab of the App store and deleted it. I don't want to turn off Update notifications (which is irrelevant in any case because I see no option to do that in Notifications system preference pane). I just don't want to be bugged about iMovie updates. The only option I'm given is to postpone the next reminder until the next morning. -- Franklin

    Interesting; never came across that - here is the window I get (just double clicked on a random doc in the trash):

  • 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 :-/

  • I got update notification for an app i didn't buy

    I've got update notification for an app "CodeBox" that i didn't buy on my MacBook Appstore
    how can i remove it??

    I'm not sure why that link gets given out for pirated apps because it has nothing to do with pirated apps. That link is about a totally unrelated issue about MAS updates.
    Finding a pirated app -
    All MAS apps have a MAS receipt in their app bundle. Check any app acquired from the MAS. Right click on the app's icon in your Apps folder and choose Show package contents. In the Contents folder is a _MASReceipt folder and in that folder is the coded MAS receipt. It has the Apple ID of the MAS account that bought/acquired the app from the MAS. It is that receipt that the MAS uses to alert you that an app has an update. There would not be a notice of an update with someone else's Apple ID showing in the MAS on your Mac, if there was not an app with a receipt from this person's account somewhere on your Mac.
    Download the free app FindAnyFile (FAF);
    http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
    This app is easier to use and seems to be more powerful than Spotlight. Open FAF and in the box type _MASReceipt and press Find. It should come up with a list of every app on the Mac with a MAS receipt. Compare the apps with receipts in FAF's list with your purchased apps list in the Mac App Store. The odd app out should be the pirated app.
    Lots of folks are resistant to the idea that they have a pirated app, but they eventually find out that its true;

  • 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 unmark update notification in App Store?

    I would like to unmark the update notification in App Store. Is that possible?
    I have the app TO DO, but if I update it I will loose the possibility to sync Outlook it with Appigo sync. It´s so easy in the moment to press "update all" or even press update for TO DO, and not thinking in the moment...If I do that it´s bye bye for ever since Appigo will no longer develop.
    Can I make TO DO not appear as a update option?
    /Ulrika

    Yes, I am with KJ, I have no real idea what you are asking about. The app store does not usually have email involved with it.

  • I keep getting a update notification for iMovie but when i click update it prompts a different apple id

    i keep getting a update notification for iMovie but when i click update it prompts a different apple id and it dose not allow me to change the apple id so I'm left with the old iMovie and no way to update ?? need help

    Deleting and redownloading will not fix it unless it shows as part of your purchases, which it likely doesn't.
    The resolution will depend on how you got the app in the first place.  Check my response here Lost iWorks apps after Yosemite clean install  different app, but same thing.
    If your Mac came with the dvd version, you never tied them to your Apple ID (assuming eligibility to do so), sometimes signing out/in from the App Store fixes it, allowing you to accept under purchases (see my other post).  Otherwise, you'll need to contact Apple.

    How did you do that?  Do you mean you sync to iTunes that had the ipad library?
    The phone with the issue, settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipe the phone clean and then restore from your backup.

  • Content distribution issue with message "Found package properties updated notification for package '00000123'"

    I've got strange issue with 1 of my primary sites that started just recently.  I've updated the content of 1 package and this now needs re-distribution to all DPs.  I've got 3 primary sites and on 2 of those the update succeeded and my DP's got
    updated correctly.  One primary site it does not work and checking distrmgr.log I can see following message every xx minutes

    Checking Pkgxfermgr.log does not show anything either,  I've tried with 2nd application but again the same result it only shows the the notification message.
    I saw similar issue yesterday but with restart of the sms_exec service it eventually distributed the content, obviously this is not something I like to do too often.
    does anyone have idea what this could be, suggestions are welcome.   Thx.

    After that nothing anymore.
    When I check monitoring - content distribution I can see the package being updated/distributed to 80% of my DP's and last 20% are the dp connected below this Primary site.
    To add to the confusion, there was another package distributed around the same time, and then one actually made it to the remote DP's.
    This is first time I see this issue.

  • Push notifications for apps?

    What happenned to the push notifications for apps, e.g. For messenger apps so they are still useful after you close them. I thought this was coming with the 2.1 update

    Im madly waiting for that. For me, after 5 generations of blackberries; this is the biggest downsize of the iphone vs. a blackberry. With an unique OS, the iphone could be the best, not just phone; but the best electronic device ever!
    Apple needs to fix that before the Bold, Storm and HTC releases. If not potential customers will go on other directions. Each time apple release a nice application or firmware, we the customers; start to post about it everywhere... That's free advertising...

  • I cannot turn off the system update notification for my G2? I have already tried turning it off in Settings (under Applications Manager). What else can I try? Thanks

    Dear All,
    I have tried turning off the system update notifications for my G2 and have not been successful so far. I have already tried turning it off via Settings/Application Manager/All. What else can I try here? Thanks.
    Regards,
    Jeffrey Wong

    Unfortunately that is not possible any longer. My advice is to take the update.  You'll have to at some point or either you'll accidentally accept it.  The HD voice and video works well between compatible phones. And, if you run into a problem, better now than later.

    How to change to sound of notifications for apps like whatsapp, viber?

    Use either the settings section within the app or the Sounds area of the Settings app. It all depends on how the app is programmed.
    Settings > Sounds > select the app and change the sound.

  • My credit card expired and now I can't update paid for apps. Why can't I upgrade without a credit card?

    My credit card expired and now I can't update paid for apps. Why can't I upgrade without a credit card?

    The "None" option is not available. Presumably because I have already purchased on that Apple ID with a credit card.
    That is not likely the case. As you can see in my account in the US  store I have a bank card in place and I have the None option.

  • Disable update notification for Flash Player 15.x and newer

    Dear all
    We run a Citrix Environment (on Windows 2008 R2) and we have our monthly update window. Users complain that they get update notifications for Flash Player when a new version is available but they cannot install the update since they have no permissions to install or update any software on our locked down Citrix environment.We tried already all availabe guides regarding "disable update notification for Flash Player" but no guide seems to work with the latest Version 15.x.  
    Which registry key's oder files do we have to modify with what values to finally disable update notifications for Flash Player.
    Thanks a lot for your help!
