Catalina system - old 32bit s haunting "update" app

""iLife Support 9.0.4

Provides system software resources that are shared by iLife and other applications. This update improves overall stability for the Media Browser and iPhoto slideshows. It also provides compatibility between Aperture 3 and the Media Browser. 

The update is recommended for all users of iLife ’09, iWork ’09, and Aperture. ""


This !!!!!@$#% is haunting the update system on my MacBook Pro running Catalina.

I DON"T EVEN HAVE THESE programs nor have had these programs on my MacBook. Yet recently this above 'update' keeps coming up.

When I attempted to appease the stupid system by allowing it to 'update' ..I get a response saying unable to install this update!!

Any ideas on how to stop this annoying re-current problem.

I have turned OFF auto update now.

I have seen a few other reports of this exact same anomaly.


From the Terminal.app you can copy and paste, the "exact name" as it presented , for ex.


sudo softwareupdate --ignore "iLife Support 9.0.4"
