9.3.4 update auto

i wanted to check and see if anyone knows of a command that will cause the adobe reader/acrobat to automatically check for updates and then run them without prompting.
i'm working with multiple machines on xp sp3 in Active directory.  these users do have admin rights.

Updater is disabled on (Win Xp, Vista UAC Off, Win7 UAC Off) with Non admin user a/c. If the machines on which you want the updates to be applied, do not fall under the above mentioned config then you can use the following HKLM registry key to be set on the machine,
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe ARM\1.0\ARM]
"iCheck"=dword:00000003
You can use the "reg" command to set the registry from the command line.

  • Hierarchy auto update & auto push client question

    I just upgraded to 2012 R2 and needed to upgrade everyone's client. I first started with the hierarchy auto update setting, but then enabled the client push setting as well. Can these two settings be enabled at the same time, or will this cause client
    errors?

    yes they can be enabled at the same time.
    From the technet: Automatic client upgrades are useful when you want to upgrade a small number of client computers that might have been missed by your main client installation method (client push installation). For example, you have completed an initial client
    upgrade, but some clients were offline during the upgrade deployment. You then use this method to upgrade the client on these computers when they are next active.
    Thanks!

  • System failure after critical updates auto downloaded on HP-DV7 17.3" AMD Quad Core

    After critical updates system auto reboot closed programs and went into reboot mode but system will not reboot and cannot run recovery successfully. Windows tries to load files and get to the start windows screen but will not complete. Not sure if it will bring me back to orig. format, was not able to find a restore point and do not have any reboot disks. Still under warranty but no list of available service people in area. Easy to buy hard to get service! UGH! HELP PLEASE. Thanks 

    Hi:
    Make your own windows 7 repair/reinstallation disk and use the repair option to see if you can get it fixed.
    Use the repair with command prompt method and try the fixboot command.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392
    Here's how to make a W7 installation/repair disk.
    I just copy and paste my standard instructions for using this disk to reinstall windows.
    You don't need to enter the product key to repair windows, only to use this disk as a last resort to reinstall windows.
    If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
    Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
    Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/p​bPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
    Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
    The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
    Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
    Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

  • Turning auto update (auto sync) off without connecting ipod to pc

    I use my ipod with 2 different computers and beleive I left auto update turned on one pc. If I connect it will wipe out the work I have done over the weekend using my other machine. I deinstalled the ipod and itunes software and reinstalled both but the itunes still reflects the playlists and songs I had created prior to uninstalling and reinstalling. I am afraid to plug the ipod in for fear that I will lose everything if it automatically begins syncing. Is there a way to turn the feature off without plugging in the ipod?

    You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
    Another way is to connect your iPod and before it starts to sync, click the little X on the right hand side of the display beside the "Do Not Disconnect" message. The display is the little window to the right of the iTunes control buttons: iPod Interface
    Or you could look at the method described in this link: How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
    You won't erase your iPod if you heed the iTunes Warning dialogue box.
    If at any stage iTunes brings up a dialogue window asking whether you want to replace the songs on your iPod with the songs in iTunes, press "No". Pressing "Yes" will irredeemably remove or replace all songs from your iPod.

  • My Apps wont update auto or Manually

    Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix an issue with the apps not updating automatically and Manually. Automatic is turned on in settings and i'm on IOS 7.1

    In one sense you are correct but updating apps individually seems to be less problematic. Have you tried restarting your iPad? Have you tied a Reset? [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

  • HT201260 MAC OS X 10.6.8 updated auto installed and now I can open my mail, help?

    I updated my software to MAC OS X10.6.8 on my mac mini and now I can not open my mail.  I'm getting an error message that states mail version can not be opened. Any suggestions how to fix?  I did what the "help" info said but no luck

    sanjampet, please stop giving people completely irrelevant suggestions for this issue. This issue is specifically related to the most recent 10.6 Security Update 2012-004, where, if Mail had been moved out of /Applications or to some sub-folder within /Applications, the update couldn't locate it and Mail was, consequently, effectively disabled.

  • 10.5.2 combo update - auto sleep no longer works

    Since performing this upgrade yesterday, auto sleep no longer functions. The screen saver blanks the screen at the correct time but that's as far as it goes.
    I've repaired permissions, tried resetting the Energ Saver defaults, resetting the SMC and deleting the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file and am no further forward.
    Is anyone else experiencing auto sleep issues after the 10.5.2 upgrade?

    Okay. I think I've solved auto-sleep. At least for my system. It requires going into to terminal and changing the minutes of 'disksleep'. It's very easy and non-invasive. First check your pmset settings in termnal by typing: pmset -g
    You should see something like this:
    Active Profiles:
    Battery Power -1
    AC Power -1*
    Currently in use:
    sleep 10
    sms 1
    displaysleep 5
    hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage
    halfdim 1
    lidwake 1
    ttyskeepawake 1
    acwake 0
    autorestart 0
    hibernatemode 3
    Hibernate Free Ratio 5
    womp 0
    disksleep 12
    First, you want to be sure your hibernatemode is set at 3 (the default in Leopard). If it isn't you can change it by typing: sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3
    This is the command that you will now use to change what I think fixes auto-sleep. If you notice 'sleep' and 'displaysleep' are set at the minutes you have set them at in your Energy Preferences (5 and 10 in my example above). You can just leave these settings. 'Disksleep' is the command that should tell your computer to hibernate (auto-sleep) and it is by default set at whatever your 'sleep' setting is. What I did was change 'disksleep' to 12 (again the command in terminal for this would be: sudo pmset -a disksleep 12).
    My theory is that by seperating the 'disksleep' setting from the 'sleep' setting by a couple of minutes, the command to hibernate is somehow stronger or clearer. At any rate it worked for me when nothing else would. If for some reason the computer doesn't hibernate at exactly 12 minutes, give it an hour and see if it does sleep in that time. You can test this with AC power and then with battery. Sometimes the AC is easier to get auto-sleep working for some reason.
    If you want to save your pmset settings just copy your pmset -g query in a text file and you can revert to whatever your default was by then using the sudo pmset -a command.
    The first step before you change the pmset settings is to make sure that no third party software is keeping your system awake. Console activity should display that, whether it's a program or a widget. Obviously you need to either uninstall or deactivate the offending program or widget before moving forward. Also make sure you've completely followed all the previous suggestions for troubleshooting lack of auto-sleep (pmu, pram, safe mode resetting... de-selecting preferences (for example: uncheck all boxes in advanced settings for Bluetooth if you use bluetooth devices or uncheck Wake for Ethernet network administrator access in Energy Preferences Adaptor Options).
    Hope this helps someone else. I've been struggling with this issue since leopard came out. And through trial and error worked my way up to this. Let me know if it works for you.

  • IPhoto update auto check option grayed out

    in iPhoto>Preferences>General.
    How do I enable it?

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try the checkbox again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Disabling auto-update doesn't work

    I need to stop at Firefox 14 for now, and need to prevent auto-updates.
    In Firefox 14.0.1 when I disable auto-update by setting 'never check for updates', and/or use about:config to clear 'app.update.url', both settings are ignored. When I close and re-open Firefox, auto-update is again enabled, and the update URL is again set.
    Recommendations?

    As it turns out, it's not a matter of 'preferences not being saved'.
    It's Firefox spontaneously changing my preferences at start-time.
    I've been testing; here's what i discover.
    1. I install FF14, start it the first time, and disable auto-update (via Tools/Options/Advanced)
    At this point - prefs.js in my profile now starts with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    2. now I exit FF.
    prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    3. i restart FF (#1)
    prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    4. i close FF
    prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    5. I restart FF (#2)
    NOW prefs.js has dropped those 2 initial lines, and starts with user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.addon-........etc
    Firefox is spontaneously changing my prefs.js.
    Before this series of tests I adjusted the prefs.js in all other profiles in this XPSP3 machine to start with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    This is obnoxious.
    I expect better from Mozilla.
    Suggestions?

  • How can I set Firefox (in about:config?) to NEVER bother me with update notifications?

    Welp, the question says it all. Or almost all of it. I DETEST the latest, MENU-LESS version of Firefox (and it DOESN'T help that, by standing on my head and spitting wooden nails in a particular direction, I CAN actually find everything contained in the old menus), and therefore I force-installed the previous version (28.0), but my problem is that I am still pestered with prompts that urge me to upgrade to version 29.0. I resent THE HELL OUT OF THAT! I resent ANYTHING NANNY-LIKE that is IN MY FACE!
    So, I thought that by setting certain app.update parameters, I could be rid of that UPDATE SCOURGE - and in fact, it seems to have worked on my Linux-only desktop - but, alas, no, it is still there, still very much IN MY FACE on my dual-boot (openSUSE & Win7) desktop PC!
    What, then, can I do to be rid of those update prompts? (Note that I am hoping that at some point in a not too distant future, Mozilla will offer, for each new version, a WUS and an I'M THE MAN variant, where the latter allows the user to steer the vehicle, as it were... if this never materializes, then at some point (when I deem Firefox 28.0 to be too unstable to use any longer), I will ditch Firefox in favor of an alternative that retains a semblance of the male's hobby-garage look (as oppose to HER slick, everything-hidden, kitchen-cabinet look!).
    Thanks!
    I am running openSUSE 13.1 in dual-boot iwith Window 7, and it is only on the SUSE interface that I am having the problem (on Win7, earlier versions allow me to tick a 'don't install anything, ever' box via preferences, rather than having to seek a solution in about:config). Right now I am using Firefox 28.0, having force-downgraded from the latest version.

    The Link I gave you above won't tweak Firefox but rather give you a brief overview on what's new in Firefox 29.
    The link below will show you how to customize Firefox 29 to look like previous versions of Firefox before 29.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-make-new-firefox-look-like-old-firefox
    I also mentioned you can toggle some prefs in about:config to disable automatic updating
    You can set these prefs in about:config to disable automatic updating:<br>
    app.update.auto - false<br>
    app.update.enabled - false<br>
    app.update.silent - false<br>

  • How can I prevent Firefox from automatically updating?

    Hello,
    I am trying to prevent Firefox 28 from automatically updating to Firefox 29 (on OSX 10.7.5).
    I have the option "Never check for updates" checked under 'Update' in the 'Advanced' Preferences. I have "Automatically update Search Engines" unchecked. I have uninstalled Firefox 29 completely using two separate uninstall clean-up kits and emptied the trash before re-installing Firefox 28... Yet every time I finally re-arrange, customize and re-sync Firefox 28 back to the way I like it, I restart my Mac and Firefox 29 rears it's over-drawn, bubbly, space-wasting, UN-SYNCED, ridiculous tabs on top nonsense user interface.
    I've tried to work with Firefox 29 but the new SYNC simply does not work and that's a deal breaker. I need the changes I make on my mac to be reflected across the other two systems on my desk (one WinXP, one Win7) and vice versa. When I try to sync on FF29 it takes me to a page to log in and then refuses to recognize my email and password (which I have thoroughly confirmed on my other systems as correct).
    Can you please help me prevent Firefox 28 from automatically updating to Firefox 29?

    Thank you for your comments, cor-el.
    Yes, I know about Classic Theme Restorer, but the point is what gives Mozilla the right to update my Firefox when I already have quite clearly set every option to prevent automatic updates?
    I have set:
    app.update.auto - false
    app.update.enabled - false
    app.update.silent - false
    So which secret magic setting has Mozilla used to bypass all these settings and what gives them the right to do it?
    Also, moving the tabs bar and menu bar and whatever else has been moved in Firefox 29 is a THEME change. It is not a security fix. Mozilla should not be in the business of changing the theme or look of Firefox. It is not their business how I want my Firefox to look.
    Regarding "tabs", I have mine down the left side, so this tweaking of the tab bar position is pointless anyway.
    To Mozilla, Just for absolute clarification, there is no way you can possibly justify forcing an update on users computers without their explicit acceptance.
    What if someone found out how Mozilla forced the update? They could then force an update that is NOT a genuine Firefox release and do untold damage to peoples' computers.
    So now I am forced to delete Firefox from my startup script and start it manually just in case their is another forced update that I can stop.
    To cor-el, thank you for your post.
    To Mozilla, you have lost the plot.

  • So For The 3rd TIME WHEN I'VE PLEADINGLY ASKED NOT TO UPDATED Why Does FF Update My Browser?

    You see, I've asked this same question twice before, because Firefox has once again for the third time updated by browser DESPITE MY PLEADING REQUEST TWICE BEFORE NOT TO DO SO. but now I have a platform to make Firefox's DISHONESY public, putting them to task for specifically defying a very adamant request, NOT TO UPDATE MY BROWSER, CIRCUMSTANCES THAT have consistently, repeatedly occurred throughout all the years I've been with Firefox since 2005.
    Why is it that Firefox deliberately continues to defy, ignore the wishes of its most loyal customers inflame me beyond words, when I've repeatedly made it KNOWN QUITE WELL NOT TO HAVE MY BROWSER UPDATED.
    BUT NOW AFTER ALL THIS TIME, TOGETHER WITH THE INSIGHT I HAVE ACCRUED AS AN IT INDUSTRY SPECIALIST I do very well know why Firefox CONTINUES THIS PRACTICE WITH ABANDON.
    1.They don't like anyone fooling around with the about:config (then why did you ever include it in the first place) the way I do.
    2. They don't like anyone making incompatible add-ons extensions COMPATIBLE again the way I do.
    3. They don't like anyone tampering with Firefox the way I do.
    And all Firefox has to do to nullify all the meticulous hard work I spend changing about:config. configurations to accommodate my own and my company's needs and all the hard work. spending time enabling newly incompatible extensions I need to work as efficiently and effectively as possibleamong other things that I've tweaked, WHICH I EXACTLY WHAT YOU DO FOR THE REASONS I GAVE. YOU DO IT deliberately, spitefully so. And that is the definitive reason for YOUR total defiance in disregarding a customer's request. Additionally, YOU, fIREFOX feel that since YOU wrote the code, and own the code, YOU can insist USERS follow the Firefox protocols exactly as YOU demand.
    Another example of YOUR dictatorial approach to browsing the web is that that YOU feel no one should dare take a gander at content that is not up to the standards of WHAT YOU BELIEVE IS purity AND ANY OTHER CONTENT CORRUPTING THE MORALS OF OUR YOUTH.
    In one of the instances in which my browser was updated despite my adamant position against it, SOMEONE IN YOUR ORGANIZATION deleted several STRICTLY STRAIGHT adult sites from my bookmarks.
    SO NOW, NOT ONLY DO you HAVE AN INTRUSIVE BIG BROTHER ATTITUDE THAT NO ONE DARE DEVIATE FROM THE OFFICIAL FIREFOX BROWSING PROTOCOLS BUT NOW YOU'VE IMPLEMENTED A CENSORING CAMPAIGN ON WHAT YOU CAN READ, LOOK AT OR SIMPLY BOOKMARK.
    BUT IT GETS WORSE, MUCH WORSE.THE LAST TWO TIMES YOU UPDATED MY BROWSER AGAINST MY WISHES, YOU GAVE ME THE LAMEST MOST ASININE, INSULTING, MORONIC REASON WHY YOU UPDATED IT TWICE BEFORE AS IF THEY WERE MERELY EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES THAT OTHERWISE WOULD NEVER HAVE VIOLATED YOUR CUSTOMER'S PRIVACY AS WELL AS BEING DEFIANT, ARROGANT AND JUST PLAIN TERRIBLE BUSINESS PRACTICES. BUT NOW IN ADDITION TO PROVING YOURSELVES TO BEING SOCIOPATH MEGALOMANIACS YOU'VE ALSO REVEALED YOURSELVES TO BEING ABSOLUTE CHRONIC LIARS.
    AND THAT IS BECAUSE I'M IN CHARGE OF MY COMPANY'S IT DEPARTMENT AND HAVE MANY COMPUTERS UNDER MY CONTROL AND SUPERVISION. I'VE ONLY RECENTLY SWITCHED OVER SOME OF OUR COMPUTERS FROM IE TO FIREFOX AS A TEST AND I AM PRIVY TO WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON AMONG THE COMPUTERS THAT HAVE BEEN USING FIREFOX AS A TEST STUDY.
    AND WHILE THE TRUTH BEING WHAT IT IS, YOU MADE SURE NOT TO MESS WITH MY BROWSER, AS IT IS CLEARLY CONFIGURED NOT TO BE UPDATED, WHICH TO YOUR CREDIT, YOU HAD GIVEN IT A WIDE BERTH, BUT YOU DID SINISTERLY UPDATE SIX COMPUTERS THAT WERE PART OF OUR TEST STUDY
    THAT HAD THE SAME BROWSER CONFIGURATION REQUEST NOT TO BE UPDATED BUT WHICH YOU UPDATED NEVERTHELESS. THESE COMPUTERS WERE PART OF A PRODUCTIVITY STUDY WHICH BY UPDATING IT SET THE ENTIRE LITTLE EXPERIMENT OF OURS BACK A BIT.
    SO, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH YOU? I REALLY HAVE TO THINK LONG AND HARD ABOUT HOW I RESPOND TO AN ORGANIZATION THAT HAS SHOWN NOTHING BUT THE WORST SORT OF APATHY, DISHONEST BUSINESS PRACTICES I'VE SEEN SINCE BEING IN THE IT INDUSTRY.

    Firefox never forces updates on me. I set three settings in the about:config window.
    <pre>app.update.auto = false
    app.update.enabled = false
    app.update.silent = false</pre>

  • The iPod "iPod" cannot be updated.The required file cannot be found.(again)

    tTunes recognizes my iPod and I can download the SONGS onto my iPod, but it gives me that message="The iPod 'iPod' cannot be updated. The required file cannot be found." and my videos and photos can't get onto my iPod.

    I have the same problem.
    I can update songs just fine.
    Ive restored and re-installed ipod and ipod software like a maniac.
    None of those work.
    D:
    I'm thinking theres somthing wrong with iTunes creating a new Ipod Cache folder.....
    Or it's a system error that happens when any software/hardware is updates (auto or not) or is changed in any form or way!
    (installed, un-istalled or the like)
    It prolly needs to fixed manualy.
    (not by reinstalling or update-dating ipod software)
    If some one could tell me what to do i'll be more than happy to do it.

  • I want to prevent version 28 from updating to version 29

    I have reverted to version 28 for many reasons--the most important being that version 29 will not print pdf files! However, Mozilla is essentially hacking my computer to force version 29 to update. I have set the auto update option to "never" but this doesn't seem to matter. Every so often the computer starts to self-update. If I see it, I can stop it. But in the morning I find that Mozilla has closed itself, and when I re-start version 28 has once again been replaced with 29. I checked in the about:config and have each of these set to "false", as one post recommended:
    app.update.auto
    app.update.enabled
    app.update.silent
    I have also deleted the app.update.url string, as another post suggested. However, it really seems that Mozilla is determined to force version 29 upon me. and I am not enough of a tech expert (nor do I have the time) to figure out how to avoid this! If all the version 29 bugs were fixed, then I suppose I would learn to live with my visual complaints (yes, I have tried the classic tab app; it helps some). But I am totally irritated that we are NOT GIVEN A CHOICE! Please let those of us who prefer version 28 to LIVE WITH IT! Quit updating our computers against our will!

    Hello,
    Sorry to know about your problem. You are correct almost. Please be informed that, in Firefox 29, there was a bug for that PDF files was not printing. But, we have fixed the bug and released Firefox 29.0.1, So If you update your Firefox, it will surely update on 29.0.1. So there will be no problem as you mentioned. Please see here to see what we have fixed on latest release. [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/29.0.1/releasenotes/ Firefox Notes- 29.0.1]
    Please update your Firefox and let us know if you also have any trouble after updating. It will be our pleasure to assist you.
    Regards
