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.

Can I have both Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 5 both installed on the same computer?

Can I have both Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 5 both installed on the same computer? I like the "fill light" feature in 3 and use it a lot. I would have not gotten 5 except that the images from my new Canon 5D Mk III are not re4cognized on 3. I have 5 on a laptop and 3 on my desktop but would like to have both on my desktop .

Yes you can do this, but you can also get rid of Lightroom 3 and use the "Fill Light" command in Lightroom 5. You need to set the Process Version to 2010 (default is 2012 in Lightroom 5). Use the menu command Settings > Process > 2010
But honestly, you would be wise to stop using "Fill Light", as the new sliders in Lightroom 5 produce superior image quality than anything you can come up with using "Fill Light". Yes, the new sliders take a little time to get used to, but your patience and effort learning the new sliders will be rewarded. You can find some tutorials and videos on using Process Version 2012 on that Internet thing.

How can I contact Viber support? When I go to their website there's no such thing as 'email us' or 'contact us'.
They may have a do-it-yourself troubleshoot system but that doesnt help my problem at all.

Can we have BusinessObjects 4.0 and 4.1 both installed on the same machine

Can we have BusinessObjects 4.0 and 4.1 (tool Clients) both installed on the same machine? Why? Why not?

4.0 and 4.1 are incremental upgrades hence both on the same machine are not possible.
Though u can use 4.1 client tools to login to both 4.1 and 4.0 servers.
3.1 and 4.0/4.1 together is very much possible on the other hand.

Can't open AppStore and Email app after installing the OSX Update 10.8.3

Hi there, after I installed the OSX 10.8.3 update I can't open my Email and App Store apps. This is the popup message that appears when i try to open those apps. I tried to reinstall the app but I can't open my App Store. I also downloaded and installed the OSX Update 10.8.3 and the 10.8.2 again from the download support page, but I couldn't solve my problem. Does anyone knows how can i fix it?

Back up all data.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

Sync Outlook contacts and calendar with iTunes between iPhone 4 and Outlook 2010 (32bits) USB only manually, not automatically.

Hello guys,
After disabeling and enabeling the option automatic sync iPods, iPhones and iPad in iTunes (settings > devices), my iPhone 4 is only syncing manually and not automatically as before the option change.
With manually sync I mean connecting the usb cable and pushing the synchronisation button in iTunes. I reinstalled Outlook (Office 2010 32bit) and iTunes but it did not solve the problem and it's still only manually syncing. I also renewed the Windows Profile. Is there an option I missed in iTunes or Outlook? In Outlook is the iTunes Outlook Addin present and enabled....
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks, William

Hi, could you specify what you did. It appears that nothing on my iPhone syncs any more. I have an iMac and iPhone 4 running the latest system updates. Thanks!

Is it possible to have Indesign CS4 and CS5.5 both installed on the same Mac? 10.6.8

We have a bunch of recent Intel macs at our corporation. Currently they should all have 10.6.8. They were all imaged from a base image that has Adobe CS4 embedded in it.
We are now using a packaging software part of the JAMF Casper suite and AAMIE to push CS5.5 to the end users.
The problem is that we want to keep CS4 on the end user's computers in case of issues. That way the end users can try Indesign 5.5 and see if it does everything they need to do and still have Indesign for backwards compatiblity.
So we created a CS5.5 install package using the AAMIE tool which works fine. We then use Casper to spam the package out to a Mac.
The issue that arises is that a few Plugin errors occur during the lauch of Indesign CS5.5 such as:
Adobe inDesign does not recognize InCopy Bridge UI.InDesignPlugin as a valid plug-in.
Adobe InDesign does not recognize InCopyExport.InDesignPlugin as a valid plug-in.
Adobe InDesign does not recognize InCopyExportUI.InDesignPlugin as a valid plug-in.
Adobe InDesign does not recognize InCopyImport.InDesignPlugin as a valid plug-in.
There was one more plugin error that occured before the first one but I forgot to write it down.
If we click okay to them, the application launches okay but when you quit and relaunch it, you still get one of the errors.
Is this because both applications are installed at the same time?
Is it offically okay as per Adobe to have Indesign CS4 and CS5.5 installed on the same Macintosh?
What else should we be considering what to do?

Well currently, I'm just testing this issue. I just installed the trial version of Adobe CS4 suite on my mac and then deployed the CS5.5 package on top off it The resulting errors that I listed above are the same ones that occur when the end user has a licensed volume license install of CS4 and CS5.5.
So I'm still back to square 1 where when I deploy cs5.5 on an end user's mac, they get those plugin errors when they launch Indesign CS5.5.
I am not sure about the licensing restrictions, I asked my Director and he is going to check with our VAR.

On My web site the adobe flash player replaced with a white box "need to install adobe flash player and Java script" both installed. My web site fine using Internet Explorer and Chrome.

I've updated to Firefox ver 5.
Gordon

The FlashPlayer plugin used for Firefox is entirely separate from the one that Internet Explorer uses. You system details do not show Flash Player is installed.
With flash player installed and enabled if you go to the Adobe website it will check that FlashPlayer works, also you will be able to download and install from there if necessary. The site page also has links to troubleshooting information. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Javascript is not the same as Java. Javascript, which is what you need enabled at present is a feature of the firefox browser that needs enabling in order for it to handle the javscript files.
* use '''Firefox button -> Options ->| Content| -> [] Enable Javascript'''
* see [[Javascript]]

When a Firefox update disables a critical plugin (in my case Elastic Fox) then I have to delete the update and reinstall the prior version. Is there a way to know if an update will disable a plugin BEFORE I install the Firefox update?

This happens between major and even minor Firefox changes.

I don't have database access on weekends (look at it as a template)
suppose you
create table help_iot

organization index;not very sure about the create table syntax above.
declare
maximal_bucket number := 10000; -- will update few hundred rows at a time if you must update few million rows
the_sysdate date := sysdate;
begin
truncate table help_iot;
insert into help_iot
select ntile(maximal_bucket) over (order by id1) bucket,id1
    from test_tab
   where id2 = '336015000385349';
for i in 1 .. maximal_bucket

    select id1,id2,last_modified

    commit;
    dbms_lock.sleep(15);
end loop;

I have win7 64 bit, and when I tried installing the new update, it failed. I tried reinstalling and still no joy. I have attempted this several times. This is first time experiencing this. Is there a fix in the works?

I have Win7 64 bit and when I tried to install the latest I-Tunes update it failed and told me to reinstall. I attempted the reinstall and got the same result. I have attempted this several times already even after following the recommendations from Apple website to correct this problem. I have installed numerous updates for I-Tunes and this is the first one to fail. Is there a fix in the works from Apple for this? I believe the update is flawed and should be re-evaluated by Apple and this update re-issued with different version #.

Can't install; only shows updated

I just bought Adobe Creative Cloud and I can't download Photoshop. It doesn't give me an option. It just says updated but I haven't even installed it.@

Please try the steps in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed
Do let us know if it worked or not.

Software update freezes and I can't install HP printer updates.

When I try to do"System Updates", it finds "HP printer support update" but the install button is greyed out and the "Update" procedure freezes.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
