Once and Only Once : Bloody OSX

Bloody OSX

Tired of windows updates? Tired of having to reboot for security updates? Thinking of switching to a Mac? Think again!

This aspect of Macs has really disappointed me - seemingly every couple of weeks a new massive update is required - the usual culprits are are Quicktime and iTunes - both things I deliberately avoid using and they both require a restart!

Uggs come in more basic, classic UGG Ashur Boot Sale colours and styles, but for women, it's anything that goes in UGG Broome terms of colours and styles.

When it's a core OS update it's pretty bad as that usually clocks in at 700mb. I have the iPhone SDK installed too which is a beast. This is compounded by my Virgin DSL connection which shunts you onto a 1Mb connection till midnight if you download more than 500mb.

I haven't tried uninstalling iTunes, I just assumed it wouldn't let me - dunno why but that might help. I don't think you can get rid of Quicktime since it's got an unhealthy coupling to the OS. I actually couldn't get Kerrys option to appear at all in the dialog. (oh and I switched to a less buggy blog theme to save people the duplicated posts).

Could you uninstall the offending apps?

Ta, I didn't know about that, I can use that on iTunes. Quicktime on the other hand seems to be one thing that gets regular security updates and requires a reboot. They should really split out the stuff that the OS requires from Quicktime the movie player, i'd grumble much less about applying security updates than I do for an app I try my hardest to avoid.

So right-click and select 'ignore this update'. Used to work, anyway.
