Delete Individual Items in Trash
Well... if stuff is in the trash is because it is to be deleted, otherwise it wouldn't be in the trash...

iTunes ignores the system-wide 'Check for updates' setting
Wrote on January 3, 2009, 12:35am
I tried iMovie and it also has a separate "check for updates" preference.
The system-wide setting is just for system updates. iTunes is an application just like any other, and each application has its update preference. A user might need an app so much that he only activates the updates for that one. That checkbox if only for the SYSTEM, where there isn't any other checkbox.
I'm assuming that, e.g., Safari is part of the system but iTunes is not, it's an iLife application. Safari updates bring updates to the "web subsystem" (webkit, javascript, etc), but iTunes updates are accompanied by Quicktime updates and only those update the "audio/video subsystem"
(I'm making the terms so it's more understandable, I hope)
In conclusion, you might want some global preference that disables updates for everything, third parties included. Otherwise it doesn't make sense to ask for one app to behave differently.
