I assume you are talking about updates from Quicktime.

There is an option where you can turn off auto updates, and when you
install Quicktime, the default setting is to "Keep me up to date with
Apple news, software updates, and the latest information on products and
services."

I never check this option, but I would think you can "unsubscribe" to
this service.

I do/have/continue to do so - they keep sending it to me.

I've even bitched about it directly - they sent me instructions to
reinstall QT Pro so that it doesn't do it again - it still keeps doing
it.

It seems like every time QT "updates" (which is just another way of
saying "what have you been listening to or watching with QT lately" as
I've never used iTunes for anything other than loading my iPod), this
crap happens.

Apple is getting as bad as Google in that respect.

Dorks.

It's more like "we want to see what you've been listening or watching"
Big Brother bull**** updates" - that seems to be when it happens -
right after the "updates".

Dip****s.

Gee, what do you do when something really annoys you, Tom? Load up that
flintlock from your years in the service and shoot out streetlights?
But, hey..."Reggie" is *the man* for computer advice. If he can't help
you, why, try JustHate or...the guru's guru...Herring.


If that fails, ask someone who knows.

Try Option B

Open Control Panal
Click on Quicktime
Click on "updates" tab - verify that it is not set for auto update
Click on "Streaming" tab - verify that the "enable instant on" is not
checked.

If that doesn't correct the problem. Walk out the garage and get a
large hammer .....

I am absoutely serious about this - I bought Quick Time Pro to use
because it does some stuff with .avi files that Ulead doesn't do
(although I understand the latest version does - need to look into
that).

I installed it six/eight months ago and it went through the whole "you
want this, want that, try this, try that" installation procedure and
it also updated my iTunes program.

Ok - fine - no sweat. I don't use iTunes for music, but hey - who
knows right?

The whole autoupdate thing started. I did as you suggest, turned it
off, blah, blah, blah and it just kept on doing the updates. I called
Apple and bitched a blue streak - got nowhere. Went to the Apple
store in Providence Mall and bitched at them - they gave me a detailed
instruction sheet on uninstalling and reinstalling QT Pro (which, if I
had thought about it at the time, meant that they must have had this
problem reported to them before) which I followed to the letter.

Worked for a little while as I didn't receive any "update" requests,
then it started again when I called up QT to work on a video
presentation one of Mrs. Wave's student teachers had done.

And I can't get it to stop - I've even tried the detailed instruction
sheet again - it just won't stop.

And it's ****ing me off - again.

Hmmm - maybe it's time for a new computer. :)

A PC!!!

Freakin' Apple...
