Disable Apple Software Update Screen (Windows)
Posted by Mitch on Nov 26, 2007 under Software Tips, Windows Tips | 37 CommentsThe Apple Software Update kept appearing on my computer and I couldn’t figure out what was causing this annoyance. I didn’t find it in my Startup folder or in the registry anywhere. Soon I discovered it was in my Scheduled Tasks. Here is how you can prevent the Apple Software Update screen from appearing.
1. Click Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Scheduled Tasks.
2. Right-click on AppleSoftwareUpdate and select Delete.
sir
very very thanks to help remove apple software update.
Alas, the popup came during recording of an entire webinar, RUINED it.
But cannot find it in Scheduled Tasks. Not there. Now what? How to kill it?
THANK YOU! That thing was so damn obnoxious. It would minimize my programs at the worst possible time. I really hate Apple. I paid good money for my fvcking iPod, and I don’t want them installing any sneaky little adware programs like that on my PC.
Thank you very much for posting this!
WONDERFUL!
I have been in mortal combat with this horrible monster for years, and I am grateful that this wretched foe is finally vanquished.
Thank you!
Thank you! I couldn’t take another .00034 update.
Cheers!
Gone for good, until you install any trivial product apple has such as quicktime or itunes. BAD BUSINESS ETHICS.
Thank you. Apple are unproffessional creating a popup that is clearly not wanted by all and difficult to track down how to remove. It’s so annoyed me all my Apple software will be ditched. Bye bye Safari, iTunes………
You have a “Thank you” from me too
Never thought of checking scheduled tasks.
Huge thanks
Thankyou
Dude,THANK YOU! That f’n Apple update has been bothering me for months. This was the most useful thing I’ve found on the net…ever!
Thank you very much…I was getting annoyed.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thanks mate, would have never thought that anyone sane would install something like that in my scheduled jobs.
It was driving me crazy for some time, asking me to install all sorts of apple software. Now it’s gone for good, thanks to you.
THANK YOU.
Thank you
