Going further Mac users can sync their Google Calendar and Contact with Outlook. If you are a Mac user and willing to ditch Apple’s iMail to test new updates of Outlook for Mac with your Gmail account, you need to visit the Microsoft’s preview website and click on Download button. Nov 27, 2017 - If you want to prevent Chrome from downloading auto-updates, all you need to do is follow a few steps. Learn here, how to stop automatic.
I briefly installed Chrome on OSX Mavericks. I hated using Chrome, and deleted it. My user account 'manages' web browsing for me, so only websites authorised by me are allowed access. I do this so I can keep track of which websites software installed on my Mac are really accessing. To my surprise, 'Google Software Update' seems to be installed on my Mac, and is trying to connect to google analytics. I deleted Chrome, so I don't see why this should be installed.
Using Finder, I can't find any 'Google' software using the search feature. How can I remove this?
I feel it is a violation of my privacy, considering I removed Chrome. The new command line is now the following: sudo /Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Resources/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent.app/Contents/Resources/install.py sudo /Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Resources/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent.app/Contents/Resources/ksinstall -uninstall Preferably, you may want to replace the -uninstall by the -nuke option. The former supposedly leaves somes files, while the latter removes them. Alternatively, GSU might be installed to /, in which case it can be removed with: sudo /Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Resources/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent.app/Contents/Resources/ksinstall -uninstall. Success on a Mac Sept 29, 2017: The 'official' Google-given method given to stop the Google Software Update is this, but it doesn't always work. The updater sometimes, on some systems, finds a way to reset itself and update anyway.
In Terminal: defaults write com.google.Keystone.Agent checkInterval 0 The most foolproof method is to deny Chrome the permissions it needs to install the update software and run it. Empty these directories: /Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/ /Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/ Then change the permissions on both folders named GoogleSoftwareUpdate so that there's no owner and no read/write/execute permissions. In terminal: cd /Library/Google/ sudo chown nobody:nogroup GoogleSoftwareUpdate sudo chmod 000 GoogleSoftwareUpdate cd /Library/Google/ sudo chown nobody:nogroup GoogleSoftwareUpdate sudo chmod 000 GoogleSoftwareUpdate If you want to be double-certain, then do the same for the folder Google one level up.
Cd /Library/ sudo chown nobody:nogroup Google sudo chmod 000 Google cd /Library/ sudo chown nobody:nogroup Google sudo chmod 000 Google I did this immediately after installing the Chrome version I need for my machine, and it worked perfectly. Now when I check About Google Chrome it gives me the error 'Update failed (error: 10)' It's still trying to update, but it can't do it any more. Use -help to see the various ksinstall options, i.e. Ksinstall -help cd /Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Resources/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent.app/Contents/Resources/ ksinstall -help -install=PKG Install keystone using PKG as the source.uninstall Remove Keystone program files but do NOT delete the ticket store.nuke Remove Keystone and all tickets.interval=N Set installed agent to wake up every N seconds.lockdown Prevent Keystone from ever uninstalling itself.force Perform operation even if it is a downgrade.
Shown off last week during the keynote for the first time, the latest stable channel update to Google Chrome for Mac brings with it the voice search functionality. The full contextual search doesn't yet seem active, but basic click, ask a question, get a response voice search is up and running and ready for your searches. The update comes by way of Chrome v.27.0.1453.93 to give it its full title, and grabbing it is real easy.
Hit the settings menu inside the browser, and head down to 'About Google Chrome.' Once you're in there, Chrome should check for the latest version, install it and prompt you to restart the browser to complete. If you're not running Chrome and want to give it a try, head on over to the portal and download the latest version. When you're back up, head on over to the Google homepage and you'll see a little microphone sitting in the main search box now.
Once you've clicked on it for the first time, look for a permission request to appear at the top of the screen asking to use your microphone. Accept, and away you go. During our early testing two things became apparent. Firstly, the voice recognition is very accurate.
Secondly, it seems a little buggy, and kept throwing up a 'No internet connection' dialog, when there clearly was an internet connection. Getting it to kick back into gear sometimes takes several restarts of the browser. So, it's here, and maybe a little gimmicky, and buggy, but it's still pretty neat to play around with. That's our early experience with it, so how about you?

Are you seeing the same bugs as we are, or different ones? Does it leave you pining for Siri to come to the desktop?
