OSX keeps prompting me every few hours to install a critical software update — QuickTime. Because if I didn’t install this, I’d apparently be in real trouble.
QuickTime 7.1.1 addresses an issue with 3rd party start-up items on Intel Macs. This release also fixes an issue exporting Keynote presentations to iDVD.
I don’t have an Intel Mac. I’m slumming it with a year-old PowerBook. And I don’t use Keynote, prefering OpenOffice instead. So this isn’t all that critical of an update to me.
Each time it pops up, I just quit the updater. But then it comes back later. I suppose I could just install it and be done with it, but this update requires a restart. I find it greatly annoying that in order to stop getting nagged to install software I don’t need that I’ll need to restart. I restart roughly once every few weeks.
There’s got to be a way to permanently ignore a particular update without turning off software update altogether. Anyone?
Yes, Update menu “Ignore Update…” or delete (keyboard shortcut)

select the update and in one of the menus it says something like ‘ignore this update’
