Adobe Updater does not update

Automatic updates are sent to my machine when I run an Adobe
program, usually just when I have gotten started on a project.
Halfway through the update, the system asks that I shut down the
running Adobe program (regardless of whether it is the one being
updated). So I shut it down and a few seconds later it asks for it
to be shut down again. This is repeated until I go into Task
Manager and stop any processes related to Adobe, after which the
update will usually (but not always - Acrobat for instance)
install.
Question 1: Why do the Adobe processes not shut down
themselves when a program is exited?
Question 2: Why are the Adobe programmers unable to provide
an update that waits until the machine is to be turned off, closes
any adobe related processes other than the update, and then does
the update.
I am sure that others have similar problems, so why has a fix
not been issued?
Howard Walker

Basically, Adobe Update stinks.... i do all my updates
manually.. and in
this vein was amazed to see Adobe trying to download a 300+mb
download on a
couple of ocassions for programs that were already updated.
After that, just
turned off the auomatic update feature. no problems now... :)

Acrobat v9.4.6 Update does not update Firefox v3.6 Adobe PDF Plug-In

I have Acrobat Pro v9.4.6.252 and I havd used the Repair Acrobat Installation option but I notice that Firefox v3.6.22 and now Firefox v3.6.23 is still using Adobe Acrobat PDF Plug-In v9.4.5.236. Should the repair Acrobat installation of Acrobat Pro not update the Firefox Plug-Ins as well?
Just curious if anyone else noticed this as well.
Thanks.

Creative cloud update, does not update it deletes

When trying to UPDATE Creative Cloud, it runs through the "motions, but it deletes the files out of the folder, it does not re-install anything. This has happened the last 3 or 4 times I have tried and is becoming bloody annoying!!! the only way to "FIX" it is to completely re-install the Creative Cloud. It is SUPPOSED to UPDATE not REMOVE/DELETE!!! ADOBE is becoming far too unreliable now and still charging me top Dollar for my membership, as there are no real alternatives and I really do need the software Adobe hold me to ransom... I have telephoned them for support in the past the told me to download CC again and re-install it. BUT this DOES NOT FIX THE BLOODY PROBLEM!!!! no other programs have any issue on my system so it IS an Adobe flaw/fault. I am sick of speaking to people who can hardly speak English for support I need someone who I can understand and who WILL follow up with the technicians and FIX this problem!!!

Not to really go into a bash Adobe thing but this AAM issue is actually one of the lower less problematic issues Adobe has with thier software. Yeah it is a problem but compared to the other issues this isn't really in the top ten.
Macs.. Can't help you there sorry. Windows guy here but if I could I would help best I could. Could be a permissions issue like on Windows 7 64bit, maybe try permissions on the software? Though if you can't install anything at all in the first place that would be a bigger issue. On windows they have a help about this issue on Adobe's site but I did not see a mac version for same issue, they may have one but I really wasn't looking for mac related as I don't have mac.
Search the help knowledge base for problems installing cloud software, should find something. Sorry couldn't be of more help.

Adobe reader does not update

Hi!
My Firefox constantly keeps claiming I need to update Adobe Acrobat. I have done it several time, using the file you link to. But no change. It is very annoying.

How do you get the message -- is the plugincheck page opening automatically when you start Firefox?
What version is being detected? (See attached example.)
Some program updates remain "pending" until you restart Firefox or even restart Windows. This depends on the conditions encountered by the software installer and you usually will get a message if a Windows restart is required.

EA6400 firmware update does not update

Just got my new EA6400 router and after installation I saw there is a firmware update.
current firmware 1.1.40 (build 153731)
new firmware 1.1.40 (build 160989)
After updating the firmware what seems to be successful, no errors and a message box at the end that the firmware update was successful, the firmware still is on the old version!
I tried a number of things to make sure I did nothing wrong:
- reset modem
- manual firmware update
- factory reset
- tried with differen browsers (chrome, IE) and from different machines and operating systems wired and wireless

Take a look at the change log on the support site and see if there is anything worth while in the new version. If not then I wouldn't even try to update. Usually there isn't much if any change to a build number difference on the same release number. And I would advise you to uncheck the autoupdates if they're are checked. Bettrr to do it manually where you can control what and when on your own.

Garage Band update does not update on i-pad?

I'm trying to update garage band but nothing is happening. It says it's "installing" but it's said that for 36 hours, with many re-trys.

Sorry - I meant iPad.
I updated Garage Band using iTunes a few days ago. It took about 10 minutes in total (download and install). I guess it depends on your connection speed (and reliability). If your connection blips or times out then it will keep retrying. My connection is approx. 16 Mbps and very stable.
I guess you have the latest version of iTunes running ? If you have, then I think it must be to do with your ISP.

The lack of response is deafening. Im guessing then that Firefoix has serious issues then?..well it'll be there loss if more, like me, opt for Internet Explorer and Google Chrome (both these browsers work fine with the latest Flash Player installed)

After the 10.9.3 update my Adobe Premiere does not export properly. Someone HELP!
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
<Edited by Host>

Having the same problem yesterday I spent 2 hours
Contacting tech support Apple and Adobe.
Apple says clearly that it is Adobe responsibility
and Adobe tells to contact Apple...
And none of the companies are telling when and if there will be a fix.
I'm ready to go back to PC where hardware companies
are not trying to boycot software companies. That's my opinion.
I already lost one job because of this.

Google search box in mid screen accepts text but is inactive. Adobe reader does not now function with Firefox. Both are new since update.Thanks

1. The google search box in the middle of the FF page accepts text but is not active since my update. The search bar box works.
2. Adobe reader does not seem to work with the new update. eg. Epost suggested I update Reader which I did but it still doesn't work. New since update. It works with Safari which I dislike or i would simply change.
Thanks
David

Does that box still Shows the Google text?
Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
Current Firefox versions use the default search engine (pref: browser.search.defaultenginename) to set the search engine that is used on the about:home page.
Check the <b>browser.search.defaultenginename</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it is set to the default value Google.
*browser.search.defaultenginename
You can check if you still have the XML files of the default search engines including Google in the searchplugins folder in Firefox program folder.
If not then you need to reinstall Firefox.

Lighroom 5.4 Develop View does not update when changing sliders

Just updated to Lightroom 5.4 (using Adobe CC) on Win8. After going to "develop view" on any photo and changing the exposure or any other slider does not update the main view of the photo. It does however update the thumbnail in the film strip and the second monitor window correctly. I've tried everything I can think of:
(1) downgrading to LR 5.3 (which used to work)
(2) forcing 1:1 and standard preview regeneration
(3) uninstalling the re-installing Lightroom (both 5.3 and 5.4)
(4) Optimizing catalogue
(5) Removing the Adobe AppData folder
(6) Creating a brand new catalogue with zero photos, importing a single photo and trying to change exposure/contrast on that
None of these result in the develop view of the picture changing when I change the sliders.
Do you guys have any experience with this?

The chances of me suspecting monitor color profile causing bugs in LR was very slim. =)
So were mine, especially when only the view itself doesn't work, but all other stuff works fine. Well, I probably have really not good colour profile, luckly you can change it after the lr is launched - it won't cause the problem untill next restart (at least works for me). And hopefully once my calibrator arrives lr will work ok with its colour profiles..

AdbeRdrUpd1001_Tier1.msp Update Does Not Install using Nullsoft

Hello,
I am attempting to use the Nullsoft Scriptable Install system to install the Adobe® Reader® 10.0.1 update on Windows XP SP3. I determined that the Adobe update will install as expected when I run the msp on a console command line with the following arguments:
C:\temp\> AdbeRdrUpd1001_Tier1.msp /passive /norestart
However, when I put the same exact command into Nullsoft script, the update does not get applied. I have a theory that the Tier1 update needs to determine language information from Windows XP and because the Nullsoft script executes in a Windows environment that is not fully initialized, the language information is not available and the update fails. If you can expand on this or provide any insight please respond to this message. Any help with this question would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Jeff

you could start by uninstalling the HP Update program from Add/Remove Programs.

Paged dataset does not update it's child dataset

My paged dataset works great, except on refreshing it's child
dataset, when sorting or navigating from page to page.
Clicking on the record in the paged dataset does return the
correct child dataset record. Clicking on any of the column headers
to sort the paged dataset or clicking on any of the page functions,
i.e. Next Page, Previous page, does not update the child dataset
record.
The first record of the paged dataset is set to 'selected',
after sort or page navigation function.
What am I missing?
Here is the code that updates the child dataset record:
onClick="pvPOrders.setCurrentRow('{ds_RowID}');"
Here is the sort:
onclick="dsPOrders.sort('PONUM','toggle');"
Here is the page navigation:
onclick="pvPOrders.nextPage();"
There are no observers. The code can be viewed here:
http://codeshare.ulatu.com/mare3184

Hi Doug,
You shouldn't have to do the manual setting of the
currentRow. The fact that your code snippet here:
http://codeshare.ulatu.com/mare3184
Has your PagedView data set pvPOrders depending on dsPOrders
means that when you set the current row on pvPOrders it just
forwards the set request on to dsPOrders.
I'm a bit confused by the other snippet you posted here:
http://codeshare.ulatu.com/marc0722
because I don't see any mention of a PagedView in that
snippet. In any case, I mocked up something that should be similar
to your situation, and it seems to work just fine:
