Stopping app update notifications

My iPod is too old for iOS 7, so I'm expecting a lot of my apps to get updates that won't work under 6.1.3. I already made the mistake of letting iTunes download a new version of PlayQue that wouldn't work, and had to transfer the old version back from the iPod. Is there any way of stopping iTunes from checking for updates for specific apps rather than have update ribbons popping up in the app window in iTunes for updates that I can't use?

Check the settings for the Play Store and turn off notifications.

Turn off app update notification?

Have several installed that rarely get used and see no need to either delete or update.
Can one turn off app update notifications (store icon)?

However, you can delete them but leave them on the computer. I've done that with quite a few. That way, you can get them back easily.

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).

App update notification on top right corner: any way to disable?

Hi all!
Running Mountain Lion I get a notification at the top right of the screen every time an App update is available. There are two buttons Update and Details but no Dismiss, "Go Away", or Cancel. I've got dozens of Apps on my laptop and don't want to update every time I get a notification. I figured out that a two finger swipe on the notification sends it off the screen (thanks Apple really obvious that one!). The problem is that fifteen minutes later it's back again!
Is there any way of disabling App Store notifications without disabling all notifications? I can't see one.

Thanks for your reply.i disabled the updates for cellular data.i hope there is no way to stop iphone to check updates for my purchased app item.most app relesing updates for compatible for iOS7,im using 6.1.3 for my 3gs.why should APPLE pushing me to update? if i'm not update the red counting icon was still there,if i update unnessery we have to use Wifi Data,
in India 3G or Broadband will cost Rs 1600 or more for minimum 2Mbps speed also with limited Data.we get unlimited data in same cost,but speed is less then 512 Kbps only.it was boring speed.
already Blootooth and downloaing ituens video transfer was a minus point in iphone if we compare to Anroid.
my question is why dont iOS having disable updat option?,it was any for particular reason?or it was a bug in ios?
for this problem most of the indian user Jailbreakng thier phones,
already Blootooth and downloaing ituens video transfer was a minus point in iphone if we compare to Anroid.

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.

Usage abroad - stop apps updating

I recently went to France: turned off data roaming etc and set a usage limit, but every time I turned on Maps to check traffic etc, all my other Apps decided it was time to update. This used up my daily allowance in minutes. How do I stop the usual apps updating without permission? Then I can restrict my data usage to navigation only.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When you enable data/roaming all apps in the phone will have access to the internet. To avoid high data usage, open Play store -> [menu] -> Settings -> Auto-update apps and set it to not use auto-update or to only use WiFi. Then go to Settings -> Data usage and check what apps you have that use alot of background data. Tap those and select to restrict background data.

App updates notifications

Hi everyone,
I’d like to open up a discussion about app updates and how you would think this working. The challenge here, is while you’re releasing new versions for your apps, how would you think customers should know about it? And while we’re here, should also business owners know that there is a newer version of the app?
There are a multiple options here, with ups and downs:
Emails to partners – app market will send a and email to site partner every time a new app version is available; this is a targeted message, received by the partner (who is the one building the site) and it’s consistent in providing the same level of notification for all apps, regardless of who developed them; the downside is the email sometimes get lost
In-app notifications – app developer provides a notification mechanism into the app, that notifies users that a new version is available; for someone using the app, this is really visible; however, the downsides here are that business owners will also see the notification, apps will not be consistent unless all developers will implement the same notification system and the most important one, the partner will likely not see it, cause partners don’t log in to customers site that often
In partner portal site list – update the site list interface to show notifications in there that there are updates for the apps installed in the site. This is convenient as it’s only displayed to partners, and might be more visible than the in-app notification as partners log-in more often to partner portal
Anything we’re missing here? Some other option?
Thank you,
Cristinel

I am going to chime in and I must agree with Liam.
I am a small partner and majority of my clients want me to handle all of the work for them, however, I am picking up new clients who want to manage their sites and involve me only when absolutely necessary. For instance when a new page with some new functionality needs to be created, they call me. Otherwise they do it themselves.
The one of the concepts behind BC apps is it allows you in install functionality into BC quickly and easily. Lets take a simple example, a homepage image slider. There are three options here:
1) I build the slider using code and it isn't editable by the client. To update it you must work with code (which the client doesn't know). Thus the client has to call me to update the slider.
2) I build a webapp slider for them to use, but this will take X amount of time and be billed to the client. Total estimated cost for client $50 - $100.
3) I install a slider app into the site, quick and easy. The client can then update the slider as necessary. Cost: Price of app ($29 for one on the app store as of this writing.)
Lets assume the client wants the app. The client must contact me first, which may or may not be easy for the client. (Can depend on how the partner handles client inquires.) I then have to install the app and then bill the client for the app. Depending on how the partner is setup they may even bill the client to do something that took five minutes and a couple clicks. This, to me, is unfair to the client though the partner has the right to markup the apps.
If the client could install the app themselves there would be no need for the partner to be involved which, for me, would be less hassle for all parties involved.
I really believe anyone should have the ability to install the app. Otherwise I believe you will restrict the BC App Store.
Wordpress is popular because it is easy to use and almost anyone can build a website with a few clicks by using wordpress plugins or apps. No need for a developer/partner to be involved. BC has this potential, and while I believe having a partner's help is beneficial it isn't required.
Also there is a lot of people out there who will use BC with Creative Cloud and/or Muse who may not be partners. They can build a decent looking website and would be able to extend the abilities with apps, if they could install them.
If absolutely necessary you could implement an option in the Partner Portal which would allow partners to turn off the customers ability to install apps. This would give those who want their clients to install apps the ability and others who don't to restrict them. To me this could cause confusion for clients but is a possible option. If this option is implemented then a notice to the client on the app store would be needed altering them before they could purchase an app to contact their partner.
Also Dale mentioned above: "...which is that updating the platform on regular intervals is not required with BC." This is still true for the BC Core. Apps are different in my opinion. For instance I have a slider on a site that when IE 11 was released caused problems with this slider. I had to update the slider to fix these bugs. Having apps update is the same concept. New version that fixes bugs and adds new features. It is all in the way it is presented to the client.
About notifications:
I like a couple of Dale's suggestion. The auto-update would be a nice feature but can be dangerous depending on the app. What if the app removes functionality you have been using, thus you don't want to update? Some apps it would be beneficial for auto-update.
I also like the indicator idea. While it may not be possible now, is there any reason it couldn't be written into the API to allow this type of notification to be added to the admin? I know you can customize the admin because I have used the Solid Admin Menu that is on the BC App Store now. Adding this ability would be great. Again some control for partners may be wanted to disable app update alerts.
Finally I know the system that I like is what I have seen with the Envato Network of Websites (Code Canyon, VideoHive, Themeforest, etc.). I have a box I can check that allows me to receive emails if the item is updated. This is an email notification in this case. See screenshot below:
Thank You Alexandru, Cristinel and the BC Team for your hard work.

Automatic app update notification in Store not wor...

I had to reset my Lumia 720 two months ago after a failed attempt to update to Amber left the dreaded spinning cogs on my phone for more than two weeks. I managed to reset it and update it to Amber. Afterwards, i realised that the auto update notifications which usually appear in Store has seized functioning. It has hasn't worked to date though manual checks reveal app updates occasionally. Pls help me resolve this. Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

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,

Stop system update notification

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.

App update notification symbol will not remove

I have a notification symbol (lback circle with red asterisk) on the top of the screen, under the date, on the Storm 9530. I have upgraded to version 5.0. I cannot seem to remove the symbol and all the applications appear to be updated. I have tried to delete and remove the Quickpull app as it locks the system. When I delete the Quickpull it also deletes App World. When I then reload App World the symbol reappears and the QuickPull app shows as being archived. Any suggestions?

Open your Messages application (click the icon on the homescreen). Search through for an unread message from AppWorld (sorry, I can't recall what exactly it looks like). Delete the message and the notification icon will go away. If you can't easily find it in Messages, you might have to click the BBKey and select View Folders...then go one by one through all folders to find the message. Or you can use the Search function -- search for unreads from all message services. One way or another, you must find the unread message from AppWorld and delete it. Only then will the notification icon go away.
Good luck!

Erroneous iTunes app update notification

My iTunes has been showing that there is an update to an app in the side bar. When I click on my apps, it says that there is no update available. I have no idea which one it is for or why it is there because I keep all my programs updated with the latest version. How can I tell iTunes to make this notification go away?

I have had the same problem for a while, and noticed the number of incorrect updates was actually increasing. Yesterday it was up to 13! I spent some time with this, and finally found one thing that helped this issue.
It appears that there may be some sort of bug such that, if you have purchased the app directy from within your iPhone or iPad, then iTunes will notify you that they need to be updated (probabl when you connect it to your Mac), but it does not actually have the apps listed within iTunes itself or something, so when you go to update it does not show them as being available. To resolve this:
1. Connect all your iOS devices
2. Luanch iTunes.
3. From the File menu select "Transfer Purhases from (your iOS device)".
4. Repeat this for all your iOS devices.
This cleared up 10 out of the 13 that were showing up incorrectly on my update count. I still have 3 unresolved ones, so there are apprently other reaons why this can happen.

App update notification red circles but nothing happens when trying "update"

4S with latest ios installed and there is a 2 in the circle on the APP STORE icon but entering the store when I tap update nothing happens! I can see there is a brief spinning circle along the top next to the wifi icon but no apps requiring update appear in the window. Tried rebooting, downloading a new app (works OK) but am unable to deal with this issue. Any ideas?

Solved! Get rid of all the icons along the bottom row - one at a time- after double-clicking the Home button. Then the spinning goes on much longer and hey presto! the two icons needing update appeared onscreen without having to press the update icon (bottom right) at all.

How do I stop getting update notifications as a beta test Firefox user. I don't wish to be on this list anymore.

I have been getting notifications of a new release of Firefox. I think I've been on the beta test user list and I don't want to be on that list anymore. I'm not active enough to be of any use to you folks. Thanks for a great product.

You likely installed what was a one of the Beta builds of a version at time and then been on Beta channel ever since.
A easy way to get back to Release channel is to install Firefox 34 from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
Firefox 35.0 is on the Beta channel as there has been six builds so far with nine being the average.

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.
