In Mavericks, I get these annoying pop-ups every day that say “Updates Available”. In previous versions of the Mac OS there was an easy way to see what these updates are BEFORE installing, (sometimes I don't want an update).
How can I turn off this update pop-up? How can I find out what the update is prior to the installation?
How do manage multiple accounts on one lap top?
My wife and me have separate Apple ID's and one lap top at home. We have synced our data on the lap top and now face a situation where in her contacts are on my contact list on the phone and vice versa.
We use Outlook 2010 on our lap top.

When I check for software updates only itunes and random other updates show up but not security updates or safari update. When i check installed updates I realized my last security update was 2011-004 and I still have safari 5.0.6.

As the title says, I have no internet after hitting "update all" on the software update page two days ago. This includes updates to Safari, ibooks, itunes, macbook air EFI and SMC firmware updates. I have a wifi connection, and full bars, but when I open Safari I just get a blank white screen and no pages load whatsoever.

Each time I update the Mavericks OS, it automatically turns on location services even when I have location services turned off and locked. How do I prevent this breach of my personal Information to Apple?
View 4 Replies View RelatedUnder previous OSs (Snow Leopard and earlier that I am familiar with) the Software Update pane let you choose a preferred update and there was a menu item to ignore it, so it wouldn't appear again. I don't see anything similar in the new App Store update system under Mavericks. I am using an older printer driver - OEM, not the generic Apple ones - and definitely don't want to lose it to an update of those infamous generic and mostly useless Apple printer drivers, but I am afraid I might get distracted and update it inadvertently or with others.

Purchased a Macbook Air, one generation back from current, for a new employee. That person has now left the company, and I have re-issued the machine to a new hire.
While the original employee's user account was deleted, and a new user account created for the person the machine was re-issued to, some updates (i.e.: iPhoto, iMovie) still require the original user's login credentials for the app store.
How can I fully transfer this machine to the current user, and make their account the one that the app store requires for these updates ?
The machine is running 10.9.3 .

Is there a way around this. I wish to download a lot of my music from iCloud , like 40gb worth but I don't want to keep the MacBook "awake" does it download when it's sleeping?The same with system and app updates, it seems to stop when it goes to sleep, is there a way around this?Because the download is so big I will have to leave it open and turn the energy setting off so it doesn't go to the auto sleep...

So a while back I had final cut pro installed, and eventually deleted cause I no longer needed it. I used AppCleaner when removing to try and make sure I got it all.
Well every time I do a software update it wants to install "Pro Applications Update" and "Prokit Updates" Which are updates for final cut pro and its related apps.
Any idea how I can stop it from wanting me to install these updates for something I no longer have?

I just got my wife a MacBook Pro and we are already confused. [YES, WE JUST SWITCHED]
Here is the first issue. It seems that the concept of closing and switching between applications is totally different on a Mac (willing to learn, just totally confused).
I understand from reading a few websites that the only way to actually close an application is to go to file->Close or Command Q... Is this true? I'm OK with keyboard shortcuts but my wife hates them and the extra steps of having to go up top, drop down a menu, and select quit seems kind of silly. What is the difference between the X and the - up top then anyways?
Also (and more importantly), we keep losing windows. For example, we had the Mail application open and started a new message which opened a new window. She then went back to Safari to get a contact. When she went back to the Mail application we landed back on the inbox and the new message window was nowhere to be found. We had to close each window one by one until we found the new message window hiding behind them. There has to be a better way then that .... right?
insight you guys can give me would be great. I'm excited to learn the ways of the Mac and there are a lot of things I like... but sometimes it seems like things are more difficult than they need to be just to be different than a PC (like the X not closing the app).
Yesterday I created a bootcamp partition and installed Windows 7 64bit (only for gaming).
After the installation Win7 had already identified all the hardware, except the Bluetooth adapter (but i seen the drivers in the Windows Update) and the video driver (same as the bluetooth).
Then I put in my OSX DVD and installed "bootcamp software". It installed various drivers (chipset, video, bt etc.).
Now my question is: are this the correct method or maybe is better install only the missing drivers, after a clean OS install?
Because now I can't uninstall ATI drivers (the are 10.7 rev.), I have not the CCC (for adjusting some setting, i.e. forcing v-sysnc) etc.
is there a way to switch network settings automatically because of whether or not I am connected to a certain (non-WiFi) LAN? I have to manually set the IP address and such when I am at work, but would like to have DHCP at all other times. The Location Managers I found can do this only on the basis on whether or not certain WiFi networks are found. However, there is no WiFi at work - so I am looking for a program that detects this specific LAN as soon as I plug in the ethernet cable and then sets a specific location. And vice versa: if I unplug the cable, I want to return to the other location...
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out how does the cooling system in MBP's work. I've been using FanControl for quite a while (the one by Lobotomo), it does the job pretty straightforward - just dynamically changes the fan speed. But when I was using default settings the fans were at low speed even when temp was around 80C. Any idea what default settings for Apple notebooks are? I mean, lower and upper thresholds, how and when does it kick in the fans etc.

My wife's 2011 iPhoto album is 72GB! Most of this was 720p iPhone 4 video, in 2012 she has a 4s. Is there a good way (Automator perhaps) to import photos into iPhoto but only link video and keep them stored on a NAS? I can archive previous years videos in other iPhoto libraries, but would like to come up with a solution where the last 18 months video takes up less than 30GB so a MacBook Air would be feasible.
