"adobe updater preferences" window doesn't show

i have the newest adobe reader X and im trying to disable auto update as it says in many instructions on the net
the problem is that i cant get to "Adobe Updater Preferences" window which is necessary to do this - the instructions says that it should appear after clicking "Help"-"Check for Updates" but i see only software checking for updates, completes the check and informing me about any new updates AND THAT'S ALL. just the information that there are no any new updates. there are no any "preferences" option or something as it shows for example below:
http://www.chotocheeta.com/2007/11/01/turn-off-adobe-auto-update/
any idea whats going on? all sites says that this window should be there...

i did this before i started this thread ("do not download or install updates automatically")... it doesnt change anything.
really, wouldnt be life easier if people would disable auto update on SAME window where updates popup? why we must spend our time for searching something that could be just next to info about new updates waiting for download? then wouldnt be this and thounds of other threads :/

IPod Preference Window Doesn't Show in iTunes

My computer recognizes my iPod but the preference window does not show up so I can't add new playlists or make changes. It syncs but I need that preference window. How do I get it back? I had to do an archive and restore last week...would that affect it?
Thanks.

If Windows recognised it, there is a good chance of recovery, by using Chkdsk
go to DOS and type in
chkdsk drive: /F
where drive: is the iPod drive ID either D: or E:
The above operation will try to fix any iPod filesystem error.
Then iTunes will pop up, or you may have to Reset iPod while still connected to the PC.
Antivirus has a tendency to freeze Itunes sync Operation with Ipod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your Ipod filesystem, so when iTunes cant read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes, (back to the pre-Apple II days).
My suggestion.
Connect your Ipod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your Ipod to the PC
When Itunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
Good Luck! and have a Nice Day!

Adobe Updater Preferences Button Doesn't Work!

I'm trying to disable the annoying Adobe Updater (which pops up only to show no updates are available). All the instructions I've found say to click on the Preferences button, but when I do nothing happens. The "Remind Me Later" button does work. When I just close the window, I get a box that says:
"The updating process is not complete. Quitting now will cancel the update in progress. Click Continue to continue the updating process. If you would like to resume the updating process at a later time, click Quit."
No updates are being installed. Along with the Continue and Quit buttons, there is also a checkbox to select "Resume the download when the computer restarts."
I uncheck that box and click on Quit, but the Updater still pops up ocassionally and when I reboot.
Any help much appreciated!!!

I just fixed this problem on an old PC of mine. The problem looks like it is caused by the Adobe Updater stuffing up when you do actually need an update. To fix:
1. Close any Adobe applications
2. Open Task Manager (you may need to check the "Show processes from all users")
3. Highlight and hit End Process for anything called AdobeUpdater.exe and AdobeARM.exe, confirm you definitely want to terminate the process.
4. Open an Adobe program
5. Check for updates from within the program.
Once I did this it downloaded and installed the update fine. The next time I rebooted and got the correct screen where I can set preferences to only check once a week and it all seems to work fine now.
(I only use Adobe Reader but I'm guessing as the symptoms are exactly the same the answer is likely to be exactly the same, maybe if you have multiple apps installed you may need to do the check from every app until you find the one with the stuck update).
Hope this helps others as I've not seen anyone post a fix even though this has been around since at least 2009!

My system preference window doesn't show

system preference doesn't show anymore...

Mind following these instructions?
Quit System Preferences (right-click on dock icon, then Quit). Launch the Console app (under Applications -> Utilities), and see if you get error messages once you try launching System Prefs again.
Copy and paste those into a post here. Just the relevant ones, not hundreds others.
Error messages in the Console app, of course.

Preferences window doesn't display

When I try to access the preferences window in Mail through the menu (File-Preferences) or through the keyboard shortcut (,), the preferences window doesn't appear. When I use the keyboard shortcut the Mail menu file turns blue but nothing happens. I've tried resetting my Mail preferences by moving the com.apple.mail.plist file to the desktop and restarting my computer, but it didn't resolve the problem. I'm running 10.4.6. and I've only noticed this problem in the last few weeks, so I don't know if it's a problem associated with updating my version of Tiger or if it's something completely unrelated. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.

Ohh thanks guys!
It worked as a charm, and thanks Brisbin33 for the autostart.sh tip.
So the thing that caused my whole system not to work as it should was that I forgot to put a "&" after conky?
haha that´s kinda anoying I have been sitting and looking through like a milllion files looking for the answer
But again, really thanks!
/Neuwerld
that little "&" sends the conky process to the background freeing up the current process (your autostart.sh script) to finish doing what it's doing so you can move on to running openbox itself. with this in mind, it should be obvious why keeping conky in the foreground would cause problems.
also, replacing it with (sleep 1 && conky) & means... wait a second, when that's done successfully (&&) run conky, and put all of that () to the background. that way openbox comes up immediatly and only a second later you've got your panel and monitor.
all this after .xinitrc and before openbox

Serial entry window doesn't show up

Hi,
I have an application in TS 3.5 In fact i copied this application from a previous one. When i run a test, the serial input window doesn't show up. What is more when the main seq reaches end, it goes to cleanup, then postuut and then runs main sequence again immediately. But i want the operator to enter a serial number and initiaize the test. I never faced this problem before.
I hope there's s'one who can help me soon

What process model are you using? Has it been modified?
Does your sequence file include the PreUUT callback sequence in it? If so then you will not see the default serial number input dialog if you are using the Sequential Model and the TestUUTs entry point.
The serial dialog box is part of the PreUUT callback. If you open your process model and then open the PreUUT sequence in there you should see two steps (assuming no one has changed it). One displays the dialog and the other sets the serial number.
If your sequence file (not the process model) contains a green sequence called PreUUT then the one in the process model doesn't get called.
A good litmus test for this is- Open a blank sequence file. Run it using Test UUTs. If you see the serial input dialog then your model is good to go and the issue is with your sequence file. If you don't see that dialog then something has changed in your model.
Hope this helps,

Login Window doesn't show all account

Hi all folks,
I migrate an old OS X Leopard with some Accounts to OS X Yosemite but the Login Window doesn't show all Accounts.
And the Guest Account and the Other Account icon is outside the screen.
Any idea how to order the Accounts in the Login Window, it seems to be the Login Window can't handle more than five Accounts.
Thanks for any suggestion,
Lutz

Hi again,

Login window doesn't show up after installing

So I downloaded all the updated released yesterday, including 10.5.2 combo update, Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 & iLifeSupport 8.2. Then I installed them all, restarted my Mac just fine. However, after I installed Application Enhancer & logged out, the login window couldn't show up ever since.
Then I tried the following solutions:
1 startup in single-user mode, fully mounted the boot volume, removed /Library/Application Enhancers & /Library/Preferences/Application Enhancer.prefPane ; then I tried to reboot, login window didn't show up.
2 startup in single-user mode again, fully mounted the boot volume, used the following command:
mv /Library/StartupItems StartupItemsOld
mv /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist preferenceOld
mv /Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist loginwindowOld
mv /Library/Preferences/DirectoryService DirectoryServiceOld
rebooted again, login window still doesn't show up.
So if anyone could help me out, Thank you very very much!
also, I found two strange files in the root directory: mach_kernel, mach_kernel.ctfsys. What are this two files for?

Sounds like you need to run the repair disk routine on the installation disk's version of Disk Utility. Failing that, you could try going into single user mode on startup. Restart the Mac while holding both CMD & S. When you see the code screen and prompt >, type *fsck -fy* (note the space after the k) then hit return. Hopefully things get repaired. Once complete type reboot and hit return

Chinese Pinyin input candidate window doesn't Show up

Hi,
Sometimes when I switch to Pinyin (Simplified Chinese) input mode, when I start typing, the candidate window (that lists possible matches) doesn't show up, but if I type space it still produces the first candidate. This problem is not consistent, sometimes it occurs, other times it's fine.
This happens everywhere, in browsers, text editors, etc.
Any idea what the problem might be?
Thanks!
Bob

I don't know what causes the problem. But I know a solution that you may try next time the candidate window disappears.
Click the language symbol in the menu bar, and open "Preferences". Then choose the "Candidate Window" tab, and change the window direction to "Vertical". Close the Preferences window, and try to type something in any text field/box. You'll see the candidate window comes back.

Preferences windows doesn't fit on netbook screen

I'm a satisfied netbook user since more that 6 months, I've noticed that several applications are still using windows dimensions way too big for our little 1024x600px screens. The same happens with Adobe Reader and his preferences window.
Hope Adobe will fix this in a later release
