Adobe PS Element 2 auto-update 2nite causing problems - suggestions please

I understand that this is really an issue I should post on the Adobe forum [on their web-page] since it is their product that is causing this problem, and I will as a last resort if need be.
In a nutshell, I'll be brief with my problem.
-I'm using PS Elements version 2.0.2 (which I did purchase)
-Program worked super until tonight
-tonight when I opened it [to play around with a photo], it attempted to, what I think, attempted to auto-update itself via the internet
- I'm on DSL but gave it plenty of time to auto-update 2 files
- visually, screen gave me a bar indicating time remaining for update to finish, however, even when bar indicator is completely full the auto-update won't proceed further [just hangs there with a full bar]
- forced quit. rebooted. opened again. Elements again goes through same routine and sticks at a full indicator bar and I can't proceed.
Brief technical info. on what PS Elements tells me it is installing
- AWEX Files.txt to Mac HD: Library: Application Support: Adobe: Web:
Conclusion: I could care less if it updates itself, I just want it to work again. If I need to delete files in folders I'll do it - whatever it takes, please help.

Geez, I thought Adobe finally fixed that bug. You might try unplugging your computer from the Internet and then try launching Elements. Without a connection it ought to just shrug its virtual shoulders and then launch without the stupid, and to you completely pointless, web crud update. There is not now, nor will there ever be again, any updates to Elements 2 of any interest to the actual user. If does indeed launch without the Internet connection, you can then go to Elements->Prefences and at the bottom of menu select Adobe Online... and then set the "Check for updates" to Never. Click OK and your problem should be solved.

    •What version of Premiere Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Elements 12 with the 12.0.1 update).
    •What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac"

    Java 6 you can't as Apple maintains it, and Java 7 you could if you uninstall it and Oracle provides the earlier version which they likely won't his last update fixed 37 remote exploits.
    Java broken some software here and there, all you'll have to do is wait for a update from the other parties.

  • Adobe Air runtime auto-update

    Adobe Air runtime auto-updates itself without any notification or request on my Mac OSX 10.6.7 machine. I do not like this behavior. Is there any way to change it?

    Please see our Disable automatic updates of the runtime document.  However, please be aware that our updates include both new functionality and bug and security fixes.  I'd definitely recommend keeping an eye out for future releases and manually installing if you disable the updates.
    Thanks,

  • What time does adobe creative cloud auto update

    what time does adobe creative cloud auto update

    Hi There,
    There is no specific time for the update, whenever there is an update released and your machine is online it will  notify/try to update the app.
    Latest version of creative cloud has an option to always keep Creative Cloud up to date.
    However, you can disable it to manage it yourself, follow the step mentioned below.
    Launch creative cloud
    click on the gear icon to top left corner
    go to preference
    check always keep Creative Cloud up to date.
    Thanks,

  • Your current updates are causing problems and will not install correctly how do we stop it

    the security update you currently have causes problems with other software and does not install at all. Current corrections the entire pc has to be set back to a restore date to remove it

    Hi;
    I apologize about your not being able to reply to my response in the Payments sub-forum, thanks for re-posting here.
    I forwarded your issue to a Support team that will take care of it.  If you could send me a good contact phone # via email to [email protected] I will give that to the Support team so they have a few ways to contact you.  Please also include the AdobeID for both accounts so they know what all to look at.
    Thanks,

  • PrinterSpooler service (update?) causes problems

    Just to inform you.
    I have a Delphi application running on a number of systems; the application accesses files on another system - quite heavily since it contains a propriaty database system - and contains it's own authentication and authorization methods - not linked to Windows
    in any way.
    There are any customers running the same application in a similar environment - without a problem. Except for one, that encountered a weird problem since halway October 2013 - using the same credentials to start the application (not recommended but that's
    the way they work).
    Assume two Windows users: A (added before mid October) and B (added after mid October). Both can start the application. Where user A has no problems at all, user B encounters a complete hang of the application at some point, and is unable to stop the application
    in a normal fashion. No message at all, just that the application does no longer response. No 'hidden' screens that require a response...
    If User A switches to User B (Start->logoff -> Switch User) he can still use the application. If user B switches to user A the same way, he cannot: it seems something within Windows that is loaded or initiated on first login, is still active. even
    after SwitchUser.
    The system administrator has done some investigation and found that when he removed the PrinterSpool service, the problem was gone. The service was installed on Ocober 9th.
    (I am not the administartor, nor do I have insight in the Windows internals; and I have no access to the customer's environment for control (though I did have the ability to do some checking), so I cannot give more information on the issue. However. my concern
    is the reliability and security of the system, which (IMHO) is compromised with these types of problems)

    Hi,
    Before going further, we should confirm the current issue first. Please let me know if the two users logon to two different machines when using the application. If only one machine has this
    problem, I suspect that the cause of the issue is the machine itself. In addition, please also let me know if the PrinterSpool service is running on the normal machine. Have you checked if there is any error logged in event logs on the problematic machine?
    Here is an article as reference, hope it helps.

  • Safari 4 Auto Update is causing havoc...

    I tried to to a software update from the apple pulldown icon, and my computer started downloading Safari 4.1. At the end of the download it said it couldn't install, and was putting the download file in the trashcan. Great.
    So, I tried again... same result.
    So I rebooted the computer. Now when I select software update in the apple icon, the updater starts, but immediately shuts down and now, my current Safari and Outlook and Adobe Acrobat Reader won't open (Firefox and MS Office products will).
    So I rebooted the computer again. Still no luck... what is up with Safari 4?
    I bought a Mac so I wouldn't have to deal with these kinds of crappy Windows software issues, and now their here!
    Please help!

    OK, I fixed it by deleteing all the update cache stuff in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Adobe\AAMUpdater and now it says
    everything is up to date.

  • Updated Firefox causing problems

    On my taskbar (i have Windows 7) when i click on my firefox button it opens another box and the original firefox button shows its inactive. so i end up with 2 firefox buttons. this started happening after i updated to firefox 7. if i could get the most recent version of 6 that might fix it, and this is a small problem but its very annoying.
    here is a screenshot of the problem to help it more
    http://tinypic.com/r/ev985l/7
    My original firefox button is all the way on the left
    and when i click on it more appear like on the right
    this used to not happen

    Un-pin all icons of Firefox from the taskbar. Open Firefox from the start menu or another shortcut. Now pin the running window to the taskbar. This should solve your problem.

  • Quicktime 7.6 update caused problem Suggestions needed

    Hi,
    Last evening my computer did its autocheck for updates and found a quicktime update. Once complete my system (Powerbook G4 on OS 10.4.11) started flipping to the finder every 90 seconds. When it does this only the file folders that were open at the time of the update stay open. Any other open folders close. Other programs stay running, although since the computer flips to finder, I need to go back to whatever program I was using (you can imagine how much fun this is).
    Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Bchem

  • It looks like updating Firefox causes problems with Macs. Should I update from 4.0.1 if it works? I have a Macbook Pro and have upgraded to Lion.

    I've tried to update FF since I had Snow Leopard and it just kept spinning and couldn't connect. Now I see that maybe there was a good reason.

    Try the alternate and easiest way by downloading here
    * getfirefox.com
