Turn off mavericks upgrade notification in Snow Leopard

I've clarified it is the individual files inside those folders you should be trashing/moving that are there with my latest edit.

Which is why I say

"although this may make the App Store itself less secure:"

Worrying that someone may have access to the computer during the five minutes that sudo is active, and start deleting or modifying system files is on my list of likely catastrophes somewhere between my concern that I'll be eaten by polar bears in Senegal next week and my fear that I'll wake up tomorrow morning turned into a Fig Newton. 😁

I think your tip will be much clearer if you drop the part where you say delete /System/Library/LaunchAgents and just indicate that that's where the Noticeboard.plist is located. Then you won't need to say only remove the stuff in bold.

Btw, simply unloading that .plist is a far less aggressive move than deleting it completely, and it should accomplish what's needed just as well.

Why suggest it at all, when it will make the app store less secure, and won't do anything about the notifications ?.

Won't? Well how come running 10.6.8 on my Mac that does not have the Mac App Store update do I not see the notifications at all? Any idea how to trigger it without the update?

Also some other people did have it work for them.

>>Won't?

That's right, it won't.

The update doesn't alter the app store application bundle.

>>Well how come running 10.6.8 on my Mac that does not have the Mac App Store update do I not see the notifications at all

Rather obviously, that's because you didn't install the update, which adds the noticeboard app & associated files.

TOU 2:5

I have this problem too -- the window will not go away without clicking on Details and is on top of all other windows. These files that andyBall_uk said to delete do not exist on my computer, so something else is the problem.

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CommerceKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Not iceboard.app

/System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.noticeboard.plist

I am not signed into the App Store. I also turned off the automated weekly Software Update check the first time it happened.

Any other ideas?

When this popped-up out of the blue, I went looking at Console logs and discovered why blocking with LS wasn't sufficient to stop these nag notices anymore.

Feels almost like getting "hacked" - this uninvited message hijacks whatever you're doing and leaves no option to be rid of it other than to click "details" and go for an inconvenient, unwanted, unpleasant, and downright RUDE ride thru some sales pitch. Right up there with telemarketing calls and junk mail.

Thanks to you guys who have identified Noticeboard.app as the culprit and revealed its location, I guess the thing to do is extract it from the System and see what happens.

Unfortunately, I'm hearing from many people who have innocently gone the upgrade route only to find it breaks older apps, printer, etcetera and leaves them unhappy (if not angry) and wondering how to fix things. Really sorry to see Apple doing this to their customers.....
