Turn OFF prompt to Install Updates for iTunes (as I deleted iTunes)

Hello:
I deleted iTunes as I did not like it very much at all.
Now I cannot stop the Mavericks Software App Updater telling me there is an update to install. There is no button I can see to say "ignore this update".
I dont want to turn OFF all Mavericks Software App Updater, I just want it to stop telling me about itunes.
how do I do this?
thankyou for your help.

Thankyou Eric
To re-index spotlight in Mavericks OSX , I understood from reading forum posts the steps are a bit quirky.
They are:
1) System Preferences/Sportlight and navigate to the privacy tab
2) add the directory e.g. users which is reallly nearly all my HD
3) close the System Preferences/Spotlight
4) reopen system prefereneces/spotlight
5) and remove the the directory you just added.
Do you know if this is correct?
thankyou

Software update for iPhone-- Ended up deleting iTunes

Hey all,
I clicked the iPhone software update icon and boom!! I ended up deleting iTunes as my phone would not restore and some of the support pages on Apple's website told me if nothing else works "Uninstall and then re-install iTunes". That's what I did.
The problem is that i have the iTunesSetup.exe file but everytime I press"Run" it just doesn't do anything.. Please let me know if anyone can help. I ended up deleting my anti-virus software as well. iTunes still does not work. I have a Windows Vista Home premium SP2 32 bit.
Thanks,

Sorry, but that's incorrect. The iPhone 3G can accept up to iOS 4.2.1.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4204
Getting that version, though, requires iTunes 10 which will only on Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6. so Alan will need to upgrade his Mac's operating system.
Regards.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If your Mac has been installing software updates for a long time, Software Update is probably frozen. Hold the Power button until your MacBook Air turns off, and turn it on again. OS X should start up.

If a reset doesn't work, try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
2. Connect USB cable to computer
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

When installing third party software, how do I temporarily turn off the factory installed virus sw and firewall?

when installing third party software, how do I temporarily turn off the factory installed virus sw and firewall? Is it necessary on a Mac to do so? I come from the Windows world and am still in the learning curve on the Mac.

Correct. I have not installed ANY other software for anti-virus, etc. I want to install a Synch app for my HTC phone to sych with MS Outlook 2011 installed on my Mac. HTC will not synch with it otherwise. That was really the basis for my question....if installing a non Apple app can be done without messing with factory settings on the Mac. In Windows I remember that I needed to disable Norton and the Firewall in order for installation to occur.
Thanks.

Why is Firefox intruding and sending updates when auto updates are turned off? This constant update wreaks havoc with add-ons

Why is Firefox intruding and sending updates when auto updates are turned off? This constant updating wreaks havoc with add-ons
Why is Firefox violating my computer?

I left "automatic updates" for Firefox UNCHECKED and left download when updates are found UNCHECKED. " Ask me wha I want to do" is CHECKED.
In English, that means don't automatically update and if updates are found ASK.
It does NOT mean ignore all the instructions and download!

Hi- Iphone 5 wont charge using power cable or USB...I am using a genuine apple charger/cable..this started after I was prompted with new update for IOS 7.

Hi- My Iphone 5 wont charge using power cable or USB...I am using a genuine apple charger/cable..this started after I was prompted with new update for IOS 7 yesterday. My phone is dead and wouldnt power up ..have tried resetting using itunes but i doesnt detect the phone and..pressing sleep/home button doesnt do anything

Update
I guess that it just had a bad connecting port on the phone itself, no clue why it wouldn't work when plugged in both ways other than there is actually some differentiating between the two sides.

My ipad was accientally turned off whilst it was updating and now I can't get it to start up.

Hello there,
My ipad was accientally turned off whilst it was updating and now I can't get it to start up. Please can anyone help?
Thanks

Try a force-restore:
1. Launch iTunes but do not connect the iPad.
2. Hold down the iPad's Home and Sleep buttons at the same time. This will force the screen to fade and the Apple Logo to reappear. KEEP holding the two buttons down until the screen goes black.
3. Once the screen is black, release the Sleep button but keep holding down the Home button while you plug the cable into the iPad. Contunue holding the Home button until the you see the iTunes logo and the picture of the cable on the screen. This may take up to 30 seconds.
4. iTunes should now detect the iPad and you can perform a Restore.

Going overseas turning off all unnecessary data updates

We're going overseas and have read we should turn off all unnecessary data updates. What would one turn off? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks

Very good question, as too many people don't ask it and are confronted with huge bills coming home from a holiday.
The answer of wjosten is applicable when you don't want to make or to be able to receive calls or send/receive SMS messages. In short: you'll use your iPhone at WIFI spots to access the internet.
If would like to remain reachable and be able to make calls I recommend your turn off all data usage through telephony networks when abroad, which you can do in Settings -> General -> Network -> Data Roaming
Note that generally when abroad you'll pay when answering a call and, optionally, receiving an SMS. Your service provider should be able to provide with the rates for this, as well as the rates for making a call or sending an SMS from the country you're in.
To check your e-mail and browse the web follow the advice of wjosten and look for WIFI networks on you destination. Even if they're not free, they are for sure cheaper than using the telephone network via your iPhone.

How do I install updates for worm elimination

Operating system OSX 10.4.7, 1GB memory (41CB Free)
Office 2004 for Mac v. 11.2.5
Just received the following message from my ISP:
"Mail server report.
Our firewall determined the e-mails containing worm copies are being sent from your computer.
Nowadays it happens from many computers, because this is a new virus type (Network Worms).
Using the new bug in the Windows, these viruses infect the computer unnoticeably.
After the penetrating into the computer the virus harvests all the e-mail addresses and sends the copies of itself to these e-mail
addresses
Please install updates for worm elimination and your computer restoring.
Best regards,
Customers support service"
How do I eliminate worms and viruses?
iMac G5, Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

There are no known worms or viruses in the wild for OS X.
What is undoubtedly happening is that some windows user, who's machine is infected, has your email addy in their address book. Mass mailing worms will not only send to everyone in the infected accounts address book, but will use addresses from there to spoof the "from:" field in the sent emails.
There really is nothing you can do since it is not your machine that is the problem. It's some windows machine with your email in the address book, sending emails spoofed to appear as if they came from you.

I cannot install updates for iMovie, or iPhoto.

I cannot install updates for iMovie, or iPhoto. It keeps telling me "You have updates for available for other accounts. To update this application sign into the account you used to purchase it." The thing is, I am logged into the only Apple ID account that I have.
What do I need to do to fix this?
I have a MacBook Pro, with a Retina Display.

No I did not. These apps came with the MacBook Pro I recently purchased. I merely logged into the AppStore and checked for updates. Updates for iMovie and iPhoto both showed up and I clicked on update all and I got the message "You have updates for available for other accounts. To update this application sign into the account you used to purchase it."
