I need to turn off updates on OS-X of selected softwares. I apply updates that I find necessary, and in my case, I have iWork '09 that I like and DON'T want to update, but the computer keeps asking me to update. I want to turn off those reminders for iWork. Is it possible? How?
Got a tip for us?

You can try the softwareupdate command in Terminal.

Go to System Preferences → App Store and turn off "Install app updates"
EDIT: I realise you mean you don't want to see the reminders, which this won't do. One thing you could do is install the updates anyway. It will put iWork '09 in a subfolder, so you can still use it.
