Adobe no longer updates automatically

I bought a new PC 4 months ago w/ Win 7: 64-bit. On my old XP it used to inform me automatically of available updates, it doesn't appear to do that on my new PC and its wreaking havoc w/ my online games. Can't seem to find any settings that allow me to ensure auto updates. Any ideas, anyone?

In the Control Panel Flash Player Settings Manager, tab Advanced, do you have 'Check for updates automatically' set?

How do I get Adobe Acrobat to update automatically?

When I open a pdf I get a message that says, "Adobe Acrobat Updater has not been able to update in a while". Then it gives me the option to click a link to search for a problem online. I end up with a million update options but have no idea which one to click on. How do I get it to update automatically?

Duplex is a property of the printer and by itself Acrobat cannot globally set the attribute.
You might create (install) a second instance of the printer and name it accordingly - "Duplex Printer"

Does allowing Adobe to install updates automatically mean it will also install unwanted software?

I have always clicked "Notify me to install updates" because I knew every time there is some kind of optional offer for Mcafee or Google that i don't want and need to uncheck. I get annoyed with having to manually install all the time but I'm not going to let them do it automatically if every time I will have new unwanted crap on my computer.
Does allowing automatic updates also include these optional offers or does it only install the actual update?

Bump!
Anyone? I really want automatic updates but DO NOT want it to instal those optional offers like McCafee.

When Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe reader needed updating, now, with Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to file. Help please.

When Mozilla Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe Reader needed updating. After updating to Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to a file. I know the printer and its interface must be OK because Word prints normally.

Problem solved, it was my oversight, I had not removed the check from the Print to File box in the print set up.

Update automatically under which circumstances, exactly?

'do not download or install updates automatically' doesn't work 4 my Adobe.

some people use Adobe just to read from time to time some pdfs on their computer. they dont work with adobe, they dont need "the latest updates", they are happy with what they have.
so im a bit frustrated how often adobe is updated while im not interested, how many times for month i must click "NO, THANKYOU." - really, i have enough "clicks" on the whole internet every day (disabling adds etc.)
yes, i know, you "can" disable updates in options: "edit - preferences - updater - do not download or install updates automatically" but it doesnt work for my Adobe, im still getting info about "waiting update".
any help because i have no idea and im a bit tired? thanks in advance...

Setting the Updater preferences to not download updates automatically (i.e. edit - preferences - updater - do not download or install updates automatically) will only change the way Reader updates are downloaded. It could be a case wherein Adobe Acrobat is also installed on your system for which you might be getting the update prompts.
Would it be possible for you to share the contents of the file AdobeARM.log present in the %temp% folder so that I can confirm the reason for the behavior on your system.

If you have a Windows Domain environment in your company and domain controllers are Windows 2008/2008 R2, than you can use this Grou Policy Templates: https://sourceforge.net/projects/customadmx/
They are capable of switching auto updates off.

Hey Adobe, stop asking whether I want you to install updates automatically. I DON'T. Some programs I run crash if you jump in there and start asking questions.

You can set your preferences to not prompt you for updates, either having them done without asking, or relying on yourself to manage them

Podcasts are no longer being automatically updated after hibernation mode

Heeello to you all!
I noticed that after going to hibernation mode (the motherboards suspend to disk functionality) the schedule for my podcast updates is messed up. For example now is Feb 22nd 2007, 21.14 and my iTunes says that it wants to search for new episodes on August 13th 2006, 23:57. This means that the podcasts are not being updated automatically after hibernation. How to reproduce this bug in iTunes:
1.) Start iTunes
2.) Set up: Search for new episodes hourly in Podcasts settings.
3.) Close the settings window.
4.) Leave iTunes running.
5.) Go to hibernation mode (This mode may need to be activated in the system settings: System Settings -> Engergy Options) by klicking Start -> Turn off Computer -> holding shift while clicking on Standby ("Standby" changes to "Hibernate")
6.) Turn the computer back on and have a look in the iTunes settings: In my case you find senseless time and date for the next podcast-update.
Is anyone able to reproduce this error?
And is Apple please able to fix this if this is truly a bug?
Regards,
Asks always good questions
P.S.: The english terminology differs most probably from the reality because I happen to use a german language system.
PPS: Yes i use the newest iTunes and Windows xp updates
Super Windows Computer! Windows XP Pro

I tried this on several other computers and I was able to reproduce this bug on every single one. Very amazing that I am the only one complaining.

Asks always good questions

HELP Adobe flash drive update BUG?? Big Problem

I bought a 13 inch MacBook Air in August 2014.
OS X Maverick, Version 10.9.4. 4 GB memory, 256GB storage.
I have been using Safari to see lecture videos from Echo360, and they have been working well despite the slow internet of the country.
Just until two days ago, everything had been working fine, until a Adobe Flash Driver Update popped up on my screen.
At first I ignored it (b/c I usually dont care about using the latest versions; the lecture videos had been working perfectly)
but it kept popping up so I clicked update.
The next day, my mac kept losing connection to internet every 1-3 minutes, such as "resolving host" messages.
The videos kept crashing and I had to re open the page, refreshing wouldnt work. about 15 times for a 50 minute video.
I erased the Flash Driver.plugin from my internet plug-ins in the library, and the internet came back alive.
I was guessing the "updated" plugins were eating up my internet/browser...
So then I downloaded chrome so I wouldnt have to manually use adobe anymore,
and now, the videos keep freezing at random moments at about 5-10 minute intervals. Now that the internet is back alive, i just have to refresh the page, which still takes forever to load...fortunately the browsers dont crash anymore...
Right then, I completely disposed anything related to adobe flash drive. I still have Adobe pdf which works great.
But even after, it kept freezing...
Maybe I was thinking this is normal when watching videos on chrome b/c the plug ins are not manually stored in my mac?
If not, what is causing the freezing of the videos on google chrome? (i dont think my mac is losing internet connection anymore every second like yesterday)
Is there any way to fix it? Is it from yesterday's history of downloading the "update"?
I just want to be able to watch my lecture videos like I normally did the past two weeks, before I downloaded the "update"
and now I am afraid that downloading adobe might crash my internet/browsers again.
It took me several hours to come to erasing the "updated" plug ins as I am fairly a noob in computers.
I spent a lot of time and researched a lot up till 5AM in the morning just last night.
and I have exams coming up next week... I would really want this to be resolved.
Should I try downloading adobe from its actual website and see what happens?
If yes, which versions would you recommend?
Yesterday when I checked after the update, it stated the most current Adobe 15.
If this contains bugs for mavericks, I would rather do older versions.
I do not know which version I was using before the "update" when everything worked perfectly.
Thanks for reading all this
I know I am all over the place; Im just very frustrated and desperate as not knowing what to do....
I just want my mac to work like before I clicked on the "update"
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thank you

You probably installed some kind of malware pretending to be a Flash update. That's very common.
1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

ActiveX and PlugIn Flashplayer both installed - only ActiveX updates automatically

I'm responsible for a bunch of Windows computers including some at a non-profit where we have both IE and Firefox (as well as Chrome) installed. Consequentially we have both the ActiveX and PlugIn versions of Flashplayer installed. It seems that the Flashplayer automatic updates only update the ActiveX version and not the PlugIn version. This has been going on for a long time including on Windows 7. Is there any fix for this? Or at the very least is there a way to switch the order so that the PlugIn Flashplayer gets updated rather than the ActiveX version?
Edit: To be clear, most of the computers are probably set to "Notify Me To Install New Updates" but only the new ActiveX version gets installed. Even if the computer is set to allow Adobe to install updates only the new ActiveX version gets installed.

Hi paradoox,
For the Background Updates ('Allow Adobe to install Updates (recommended)' option), both players are updated, however, the Activex version is updated first and then about an hour later the Plugin is updated.
For the Notification Updates ('Notify me to install updates' option), Flash Player checks for an update when Flash content is played. If an update is available, it creates a registry entry that then launches the Update Notification window when the system is rebooted or the user logs off/on. In this scenario, whichever version of Flash Player (Activex or Plugin) was in use during the check is the one that creates the registry entry and is the one that is updated. I know this isn't ideal, however, this is legacy functionality and has been this way for a very long time. Unless you've modified the update check interval, the default is 7 days.
Since you indicate the Plugin is not being updated via Background Updates, I'd like to look at the FlashInstall.log file on an impacted machine. Unfortunately, Background Updates don't write to the log file unless verbose logging is enabled (which you most likely don't have configured), but I may still be able to glean some information from the current log file on the system. Please provide the log file from an impacted machine using the instructions here, How to share a document.
To enable Background Update verbose logging, add the following to the mms.cfg file: SilentAutoUpdateVerboseLogging=1. Background Updates checks for an update once per day, so if you enable this today, it should contain related information within a day or so, depending on when the Background Update task is actually configured to execute on impacted machines.

Adobe AIR runtime update dialog breaks application

I'm working on a large project that utilizes a C++ application to house the core logic and an AIR application to display a UI. The C++ program launches the AIR UI and passes it several command line parameters, including locale and port number to call back to the C++ application with. Under normal circumstances, this works great.
However, when there's an Adobe AIR runtime update, things go bad. The runtime intercepts the UI invocation, kills it, and displays the generic AIR "do you want to update?" dialog. Whether the user presses update or cancel, the UI application eventually gets relaunched -- but without the command line parameters originally passed to it! I presume this is a bug in the Adobe AIR runtime updater code.
The end result of this is that the UI gets relaunched, but doesn't know how to localize itself or what port to call back to the C++ application with! If the user relaunches, it works fine (because the update dialog won't intercept again), but by then the user experience has already been mangled. We can't even display a localized error message to tell them to relaunch because we don't know what locale they're using any more, and we can't call back to the C++ application to ask.
I'm trying to find solutions/workarounds to this issue. Because AIR won't let us turn off the update check on a per-application basis, it seems like the only viable solution would be to turn off the runtime update check for the whole machine. But altering machines settings for the benefit of one application is definitely bad form, and I'd prefer not to do that if any other viable workaround exist.
Any ideas?

I filed a bug report last night using that same form.
The duplication steps are straightforward. I can duplicate the following with 100% success on a freshly imaged Win 7 32-bit box, admin user account:
1) Install older version of Adobe AIR framework (I tried both 1.1 and 1.5.1). It will ask you to update. Click "Update later".
2) Pull up task manager and watch the process list
3) Run ANY Adobe AIR app with some parameters (I used Adobe's Settings Manager as a sample because it's small)
4) Note that your application appears in the task manager briefly
5) Your app is terminated and "Adobe Air Installer.exe" appears in the task manager. A dialog pops up asking you to update.
6) Click cancel
7) Your app is reinvoked without any parameters
As for my specific case, by "session" I do mean a single launch.
I'm not aware of an evoke event -- perhaps you meant invoke event? The invoke event is not executing before the app terminates (in step 5 above). I think the AIR app is just running long enough to load the runtime and then the runtime takes over from there.
Thanks...
