General software updates

Thanks, Gary. Yet another round of updates - or I could just move to Safari as Apple keep nagging me to do.

Would not do that Rik, http://secunia.com/advisories/29483/ pretty bad considering its only just been released really and is buggy as hell on Windows from what I have read
You can turn off the nagging in Tools if you use the apple software updater by setting it to ignore updates you don't require

Where do I do that, Gary, I keep unchecking it and it keeps coming back...

Go to Apple software updater open it leave the updates you dont want ticked then go to Tools, ignore selected updates, then press quit

Dumb question, Gary. Where do I find it, I have nothing in the start menu or CP.

Ahh when you installed your Quicktime stuff did you untick install Apple Software Update or remove it after installation? it should be in your start menu just called apple software update. it just checks once a week for new updates, or how ever long you have it set to, saves having to keep checking through Quicktime etc

I must have chosen not to use it - it's not there, but the iTunes helper is running, which may be triggering it...

could be, its a useful little app so if you get a chance to on the next update its worth it, nice to turn the nagging off

There is an option when you install iTunes to not install the automatic updater.

Too late!

You know when you've been Apple'd...

Rik · Mar 26, 2008, 11:35:09

You certainly do.

I'm afraid you can't legally install Safari, Rik, as El Reg have pointed out.

It's a really funny story.

Maybe I should read every post on the forum before posting anything myself!!!

Sebby · Mar 27, 2008, 23:04:36

You mean to say that you don't, Lance?

Shockwave player to version 11.0.0.0

Rik · Mar 28, 2008, 09:59:36

Thanks, Gary. If only the software houses would get together and post us a DVD each month with all the patches on it...

Its such a great Idea Rik, it would make life so much simple

Rik · Mar 28, 2008, 10:13:09

Think of the load it would remove from the 'net...

It would be a great Idea, setting up my new pc there were so many updates from just the day before typically my luck that a disc with "this months" latest common software updates would have been great

and as you say the load off the net would be amazing
