Uninstalling Software Updates?

I'm done downloading software updates. They slow my computer down a lot. Is there any way to get rid of them once you've downloaded them? I sure can't figure out how.
I think it's a conspiracy by computer manufacturers to force people out of their computers and into new models by loading them down with updates that keep their computer working like it's supposed to.
Help?

iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

If you have installed an OS, Security or Apple Software update, the only way to uninstall a particular update is to re-install Tiger from the Tiger install disc (archive & install selecting preserve user and network settings) and then install only the update or updates you prefer or none but I don't recommend doing so.
I do the following beforehand and I rarely, if ever, experience any problems after installing Apple updates.
Before installing a major OS Update such as 10.4.4, I update my regular backup first - a complete bootable clone of my hard drive saved to an external firewire drive. It isn't a matter of if but when your hard drive has a partial or complete failure since none last forever. If you aren't currently maintaining a regular backup of your important data, now is a good time to start.
After updating my backup, I boot from the Tiger install disc and run Disk First Aid repair to check the hard drive for any directory problems. This little step (that doesn't take much time) can prevent many problems. If there is a minor hard drive directory problem that goes unnoticed but is not repaired before installing a major OS Update such as 10.4.4, the process of installing the Update can bring an underlying problem to the surface or make it much worse.
If there are any problems reported and successfully repaired, I run DFA repair again until no problems are reported.
After re-start and booting from the normal hard drive boot volume, I disconnect all external peripheral devices except for a keyboard and mouse and I then install any updates without launching or running any applications which is also very important. You should quit all applications before installing any update.
I only run DFA repair before installing a major OS Update such as 10.4.4 but it certainly can't hurt to do so before installing any Security or Apple application updates also but not as important.
As a first step, I suggest Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption for system troubleshooting procedures and when doing so, follow all steps/instructions in the order provided.
In addition, check Installing software updates for recommended procedures and Tuning Mac OS X Performance.

Uninstalling Software Update?

I've recently blindly installed the "Airport Extreme Update 2007-001". Since the my MacBook has been dropping the wireless connection (to a Belkin Router) intermittently.
Is there a way to uninstall specific software updates?

Only by doing an Archive and Install. Updates are not "uninstallable." In the future keep a cloned backup of your startup volume. If you have problems after an update it will be a lot easier restoring the backup then reinstalling from scratch.

Is there a way to uninstall an OS X update from the App Store, like a Safari update?

Thanks! I figured out the Safari problem actually. Safari shows us thumbnails of Top sites. Now after the update I started opening a new website frequently. The problem was that Safari continued to load it in background indefinitely and gobbled up data. So, I removed the site from history and switched over to using Chrome for the particular website and it has worked fine so far. By the way, the site in question is a website used by software companies to conduct coding tests.

How to uninstall software updates

I update my iphone with the 5.1 software and would like to delete it now? How do i do that?

Lumia 520 uninstall software update

After update a network+, my phone usually lose signal(no network). Is it imposible to uninstall it?

Once you install an update, you cannot uninstall it. I suggest you to take out your sim card, clean it with a soft cloth and put it back in. Also check if there's any other system app updates using the Lumia System Updater or SysApp Pusher and update if there's any.
And do not forget to restart your phone after any update, the updates should work without a phone restart, but sometimes restarting really helps. You may restart (soft reset) your phone by pressing volume down and power keys for 10-15 seconds, until the phone vibrates. Or you may remove the battery.
If these suggestions doesn't solve the problem, you may try a Phone Reset (hard reset). Do not forget to backup your data before reset and please read Restore a backup to my phone topic before doing a hard reset.

How to opt out of Apple Software Update's Safari installation

I do not have Safari installed on my computer, and I have no interest in installing it or switching to it. However, the Apple Software Updater displays Safari as a selected option every time it runs. I can unselect the option to install Safari, but I don't see any way to remove Safari from the list entirely so that Software Update doesn't keep pestering me about installing Safari every few days. Surely there must be some way to opt out of installing Safari short of uninstalling Software Update and never using it again?

That answer really does not deserve a "solved" star, as we get nagged again for every update of Safari. The ignore "trick" is IMHO merely an inadequate workaround for a nuisance that should not exist.
ASU should UPDATE not shove software I or rather, my userbase does not have installed, down our throats.
Apple should at least have the decency to NOT have Safari Pre-checked in ASU. Yes, M$ has new software in Wondows Update as well (e.g. Silverlight), but at least it's an opt-in update, while Apple force-feeds us Safari which I find beyond annoying.
If M$ would do the same with the next version if IE on Macs, Mac users would scream so loud you would be able to hear it on the ISS.

IPhoto not working and graphics slowed after apple software update

I just installed a bunch of updates for my relatively new macbook pro (end of 2009) and found that afterwards the computer's graphics became quite jerky (mainly the screen saver and expose - four finger swiping) while iPhoto shows all my pictures as icons but cannot display them individually or in a slideshow. I've tried copying the photos to my desktop and opening them in preview but I just get a white blank space - I cannot even open images downloaded from the internet. However - I can still access and display these images as my desktop background. So I'm assuming it must be some problem associated with the programs - although that doesn't explain the slow screen saver...
Is there a way to uninstall software updates (e.g. iPhoto version 8.1.2 or 8.1.1)?
There is another possible alternative for the problem:
I was removing a program at the end of its trial period and was looking through system files to attempt to remove any leftover files. The software company is named "Gforce" so, thinking that any files related to that should be unnecessary, I deleted a few files named "Gforce..etc." in "System/Library/Extensions"
Does anybody know if these were actually related to something else entirely? Does anybody without Gforce software on their Mac have these files?
Any tips?

To reinstall iPhoto:
There should be 2 Discs that came with your Mac computer, One is Mac OS X, and one is Applications (The one you need)
Insert the Applications Disc, Reboot, hold the Button that it tells you to hold on while the computer is starting up then there should be installian steps.
Goodluck.

I am endeavouring to upgrade iTunes. The upgrade always stalls at a point where there is a need to access Apple Software Updater, which is reported as no longer being available on my network. In My Programs, I have a folder called Apple Software Updater, to which I can browse, but within which I cannot trigger any action.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:

I can't uninstall Apple Software Update.

In trying to uninstall ITunes, I was given a checklist from Apple Support to uninstall certain programs in a specific order. I need to reinstall ITunes, and they said that I needed to remove it first. I am running a Windows 7, 64 bit HP laptop. No program is removing this and it very specifically says to not remove them out of order.
Below are the instructions sent to me. (I tried to copy and paste. However, it doesn't look good, so I will include the link that Apple sent to me.)
Can someone please help?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases. Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

IPod only recognized as digital camera / Apple Software Update unable to be uninstalled

This may sound like a common problem, but I've done a LOT of work trying to fix it based on online searches. With no avail, I think this problem can't be easily fixed.
As the question states, the initial problem is that my iPod Touch (1st gen I think, maybe 2nd gen, iOS 3.1.3) wasn't recognized by iTunes as an iPod, but only as a digital camera (Windows 7, 64-bit). At first I was content because I didn't have extra songs I wanted to add. But then when I cleared the RAM one day, the iPod restarted with the USB/Connect to iTunes screen. Finally, I had no choice but to try to fix the iTunes problem. So, as most people suggest first, I tried to update iTunes.
Unfortunately iTunes was unable to update. There was a rolling back error, that I traced to Apple Mobile Device Software by using the Command Prompt and logging the install log. Apparently, iTunes didn't have sufficient permission by Windows to delete the necessary files. I even uninstalled iTunes to try to reinstall it, but it didn't reinstall, leaving me with no iTunes at all.
Then I extracted AMDS installer from the iTunes installation package and logged that installation process to find errors. According to an online source, the driver was blank, so I first tried using pnputil.exe in cmd to remove the Apple driver package. This failed, so I manually went into C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository to find the driver to delete it so it could reinstall. Unfortunately, it still wouldn't install.
In addition, I changed the ownership of ProgramData, Program Files, and Program Files (x86) in the C:\ disk to Administrator instead of SYSTEM and gave full permission to myself (the administrator) and "TrustedInstaller." A risky move, I know, but I was desperate. I had hoped that this would give permission to iTunes to modify what it needed to modify, but this still didn't work.
Thus, I tried to remove all traces of Apple software that related to iTunes manually. This involved the Apple files in ProgramData, Program Files\Common Files, and Program Files (x86)\Common Files. Then I tried to uninstall the list of programs related to iTunes (Bonjour, QuickTime, etc). However, Apple Software Update refused to uninstall and gave an error "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program reuired for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I fear in my deletion of files, I might have deleted something necessary for this uninstall.
I downloaded multiple forced uninstallers, but none of them worked - the same message showed up constantly. I went into the registry key to see if I could manually uninstall Apple Software Update, but this didn't seem to work either. I was too afraid to delete anymore files...
So here I am again, having walked in a complete circle in this extremely complicated situation. The files I deleted in my first attempt at a solution ended up hindering a possible actual solution. Any ideas to uninstall Apple Software Update, or to solve iTunes rolling back error, or to remove the connect to iTunes screen from my iPod would be greatly greatly greatly appreciated. I can live without iTunes, but my iPod is very important to me. If anyone has a solution to remove the screen without connected to iTunes, or connecting to a different computer's iTunes, I would be willing to take that course of action too.
Thanks!
