How to remove the update batch on System Preferences
Every Mac wil notify you when a update is available. This is normally shown in the on your Docks System Preferenees icon with a little red dot in it. If you do not like to update and want to get rid of this batch-notification than do the following:
Open a terminal and enter the following command:
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences AttentionPrefBundleIDs 0 && killall Dock
The red dot notification in your System Preference icon should be gone now.
If you have problems with this, try to brake the commands in two by doeing:
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences AttentionPrefBundleIDs 0 killall Dock
If you like to enable the icon again do the following:
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences AttentionPrefBundleIDs 1 && killall Dock
To also get rid of the automatic download of the software and stop updating your mac do the following:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate AutomaticDownload -boolean FALSE
