Auto update win7

Is anyone else seeing this?
I understand Adobe feels an occasionally used doc viewer is oh so important it must update NOW and restart the system like a win service pack or something but come on!
Isn't the P in Pdf for portable?
How about a portable viewer that is not so embedded?
Why my rant this time since this is SOP Adobe logic?
Unless you are sitting at win7 pc when it DEMANDS an auto update it locks up the interface and no mouse function without reboot.
Then of course it DEMANDS once again and of course RESTART AGAIN!!!!
Does Adobe even test anything?
Nice to see they fixed the flash blunder where you could not even see their home page, let alone d/l it.
Time to find some open source alts?
Off to google to try and find a fix or simply disable auto notify!
Loving win7 ALWAYS on except win adobe pulls their stunts!

Use the forum for Adobe Reader.

How to really, really disable auto-update popups from flash player?

I have here a serious problem under 64bit Win7.
More and more frequently a popup appears prompting me (or even start download without prompt!!)if a new flash player should be installed.
When I proceed it shows the progress bar and downloads the package and installation started until the "done" button is shown.
Then I re-open Internet Explorer 9 again and re-vist the last webpage and ....the download starts again.
This is really annoying.
How do I really, really stop forever update prompts for flash player plugins for Firefox and Internet Explorer?

Hi pxstein,
Thanks for posting the screenshots, especially the one of the Process Explorer. It indicates that this is not an auto-update install situation. This type of installation is triggered via content on the page that requires a newer version of Flash Player (your screenshot indicates you have 11.8.800.94) and the content provider has decided to use this type of installation (we support several types that content providers can implement). Since this type of installation is controlled by the content, there isn't a way to disable it. Normally, IE displays a User Account Control dialog window or a dialog bar at the bottom of the page asking if you want to save/run the file. I don't see these in your screenshots and you don't mention if they displayed or not. If not, you may have disabled this warning at some point in time.
Flash Player 11.8 is very old and very vulnerable to security issues and we've released many security updates since then. My recommendation is to update Flash Player to the latest version, 15.0.0.167 for Internet Explorer (15.0.0.152 for non-IE browsers on Windows). If you don't want the latest features available in Flash Player 15, you can install what we refer to as the Extended Support Release (ESR) version. This is a previous stable version that we only release security updates for. Currently this is 13.0.0.244 for both Internet Explorer and non-IE browsers on Windows.
To download the latest version, go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using Internet Explorer
To download the ESR version, go to Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe. The links to download the FP 13 ESR version are at the bottom of the page.

Firefox auto-update bounces back end forth between 3.6.11 and 3.6.12

Firefox keeps going through the following apparently endless cycle: It realizes it's not on the latest version and auto-updates from 3.6.11 to 3.6.12. Everything is fine for a few uses, then it tells me it needs to reboot to complete an update, upon which its "completion" of the update results in it reverting back to 3.6.11. After a few uses of that version the entire cycle repeats (It again wants to install an update to 3.6.12)... and so it continues

You can check for a problem with the prefs.<br />

Client Auto-Update questions

We just updated our Dev system to SP5 with Patch 2, but the clients are not updating automatically.
I have checked that the Client and Admin boxes are checked for auto-update and can see nowhere else that this can be done.
I double-checked with the Master Install guide, and this appears to be the only thing that I need to do to make it work.
The clients are currently at 502, and they should now be 506.
Also, is this controlled by the files in C:\BPC\Websrvr\Web\Installation?
I have checked the live server (BPC 5.1 SP3) and the Dev server (BPC 5.1 SP5r2)
Both of them have EverestClient.exe and EverestAdmin.exe with version number 12.0.0.49974
Does that seem right? I would have expected an increment in version number.
Has anyone else seen this, and can you offer any advice?
Thanks
Craig

How do I roll-back to the previous version of Firefox? An auto update occurred and now one of the programs used at the office (ACT! v6.0 SwiftMail) won't run with the browser.

The office I work in uses a very old version of ACT!, an accounting package. This package has a component called SwiftPage, an antiquated email system that enables us to email from the ACT DB. SwiftPage runs via the web browser.
Firefox just did an auto update (that I will have to find out how to turn off) and now SwiftPage won't run as it is not compatible.
Can I "roll-back" my version of Firefox or do I have to uninstall and try to re-install an older version?
HELP!

Try loading and using the add-on from this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
Many add-ons do in fact work if you force them to run. The procedure to roll-back is given in this article: [[installing previous versions of firefox]]
Unfortunately the official Firefox policy is that you downgrade to 3.6 which is supported for a while longer, and not the now unsupported Firefox 4. If after installing and running the ''add-on compatibility reporter'' you still have problems there are ways around the official policy.
I think it is absurd that Firefox 4 may be used by tens of millions of users one day and a few days later those that upgrade to Firefox 5 should be not only told not to use a now unsupported browser, if they need to revert due to problems, but are actually obstructed in attempts to do so.

Auto update of Schedule Agreements

Once a schedule agreement has been created will MRP auto update the delivery date (for JIT) if the lead time is zero days and the new need date is today?

You need to check what is the procedure (T-Code) from which the data gets updated into these tables.
For example
when we craete a material from MM01 the data gets updated in the corresponding table i.e. EKPO.
In same way you need to find the process and then you can use BTE (Busineess transaction events) for that process. BTE are only for FI module and these tables are also related to FI .

My firefox recently updated. Now my pop mail server won't work. I did a 'restore' to last week, and it was fine. It has now auto updated. No mail server.

I have read through several responses to others who are having problems following an update. I am not computer savvy enough to understand half of the recommended 'solutions'. I need clear and definitive instructions of what to do. (Instruction for 'dummies' is what I need.) I can not 'restore' my computer continuously, only to have the auto updates cause the pop mail server to stop working each time. If there is nothing I can do, I guess I will have to stop using Mozilla Firefox. Can you help?

There is no solution for Firefox and POP. Firefox doesn't do email and has no need for a POP email server.
If you are using Firefox to view and send "email", you are accessing a webmail service provider.

Crashing on start up, auto-updating even when disabled & not allowing a safe toolbar add-on to download

I have followed all of the steps in all of the relevant help articles (http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-troubleshoot-prevent-and-get-help#w_get-help-fixing-this-crash), and nothing has fixed this problem.
I was running v17, and yesterday it auto-updated to v18 when I opened firefox. As soon as it updated it crashed, pressing 'restart firefox' did nothing, I could only quit. So I found an old install file, went back to v17, checked the option to ask permission before updating, run malwarebytes and spybot, so my PC is clean. This morning, same thing happened - auto update with no warning or permission given. Crashed. Repeatedly, restarted, closed everything else that was running, uninstalled and reinstalled the older stable version. Both times I spent a long time reinstalling add ons and themes. On top of that my goodapp toolbar from goodsearch will no longer be installed by firefox because 'it can't modify the necessary files'. All other add ons work fine, and I was using this toolbar with no issues in v17 only yesterday.
The second reinstall I clicked the option 'never check for updates'. But tonight, when I opened firefox, it updated without warning to v18 again and I was ready to switch to chrome after a decade of using this browser. There was no Firefox (safe mode) to run from my program files, and since I couldn't open the browser at all before it crashed, all I could do was uninstall and reinstall v17 for the third time in 24 hours and as you can imagine I am not very happy that your so-called stable release is anything but that. I think with the number of people having problems that you should stop work on v20 and actually accept there is a problem with this release instead of trying to blame it on malware.
Latest crash report ID: bp-3ea35888-008f-4e21-b31f-023002130112

This crash is usually caused by to malware and the involved randomly named file in your case is astktkra.dll as you can see in the modules list of the crash report.
Try to use MSConfig and disable that file to prevent it from getting started.
*http://www.howtogeek.com/74523/how-to-disable-startup-programs-in-windows/
Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) to see if that allows to locate and remove the file either manually or with a malware scanner.
You will have to search the Windows registry (Ctrl+F) for references to that file and export and remove involved keys to avoid startup issues with missing files or alternatively use a registry cleaner like CCleaner.
If you are not comfortable with editing the registry then it is best to skip this step.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Won't open at all after auto update!!! dead in the water!!!

yesterday I was informed that an auto update had been done. for 6.blah.2 or something. I don't know. I was immersed in the constitution and Thomas Jefferson was waxing his ass. Anyway last night I shut down, all is well in the world. This morning I try to log on to see if my prof has any news for me...nothing. You know, no coffee, perhaps I'm not awake, kidnapped by ailens. So I shut down and try again. Nothing. But IE worked...So here I am...What is up?

How do I disable linked smart-object auto-update/refresh?

Working in the CC3D features, I am constantly making changes to my bump map. Every time I step-backwards, or make a significant change to the bump texture (smart object?), CC auto-saves the layer. This specific file is a very very large document (3 gigs in the bump texture layer alone), and the 3D layer has lots of lights and is very complex. This auto-refresh/update really bogs down the time that it would take me to make my changes. I have a very fast machine (I know it's fast, I dont need to list my specs), and I have all shadows disabled.
How do I disable linked smart-object auto-update/refresh?

If you do not like a feature like smart objects there is nothing forcing you to use it. Use some other features to do what you want. Please don't ask Adobe to introduce bug into smart object support.
You could work on your bump maps textures in external files. When your done some time in the future you could edit your project with the smart object layer and use replace smart object. Only then will all smart filters be applied to the smart layer with the replaced smart object.
Or if by CC Auto save Layer you referring to CC Generate feature you can disable that feature.
I have no idea what your referring to when you write "CC auto-saves the layer" being a feature. I know CC Generate will write layers out as web files but that more a Web feature then a 3d feature. Where do you see your layer being saved?

How to disable yum auto-update in OL6

Hello,
What is the correct procedure to disable yum auto-updates?
The "yum-updatesd" daemon that existed in OL 5 does no longer exist in OL 6.
I found out that the "PackageKit Update Applet" seems to be responsible for running the auto-update. It can be enabled or disabled in the new Preferences/Startup Applications control panel. There is also the "gpk-prefs" control panel to set the update interval to "never". However, both control panels work on a per-user/login basis and cannot be used to disable yum auto-update system-wide.
Finally I found /etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf, which has a DefaultBackend parameter, but I don't know what I should put there.
Is there here a way, to disable the yum auto-update system-wide without uninstalling PackageKit?
I already checked the documentation at http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/ch-PackageKit.html but it was not helpful.
Thanks!

The actuall problem I'm trying to fix is the following error:
<pre>
Another app is currently holding the yum lock; waiting for it to exit...
The other application is: PackageKit
Memory : 45 M RSS (357 MB VSZ)
Started: Tue Jul 10 09:27:04 2012 - 04:09 ago
State : Sleeping, pid: 2317
</pre>
The above error can happen if you have an active Gnome session and e.g. connect as root using ssh session and try to use yum.
I may have found a way now to disable the automatic system updates, however, I don't know if this is the proper solution since I cannot find any information about it.
I modified */etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf* and changed:
<pre>
DefaultBackend=yum -> DefaultBackend=nobackend
</pre>
It requires a re-login of your Gnome X session to take affect.
Then Administration/Software update does no longer scan for updates, and apparently no longer lock yum at the system level. At least the problem seems to be fixed globally that way.
I will mark this question as answered, but any ideas are still welcome.
Thanks!
Btw, here is a link to previous older thread to disable it on a per-user basis:

Go from manually update to auto-update without losing songs?

I was trying to delete some podcasts from my ipod, and was following the directions on the help menu which told me to go to preferences and choose manual update, then delete. I tried it, and it didn't work. When I decided to go back to auto update, I received a message that everything on my ipod would be deleted and the update would be just what is on the itunes on that machine. I have more than one computer, and have itunes on each one. There are different songs on each computer. If I go to manually update on this computer, it will erase the songs I've put on from other computers. All this and I still have the unwanted podcasts. Can anyone help me to go back to auto-update without losing songs? If worse comes to worst I guess I'll have to update, lose the songs, and then re-update at my other computers. thanks.

Afraid that's not possible. If you go to auto-update, the iPod gets cleared and replaced with the current contents of the iTunes library.

X200 auto-update BIOS upgrade failed? system no longer boots

Hi,
I've had an X200 for around 7 months now and just did an auto-update earlier today. One of the items was a BIOS update, so I thought what the heck, it should be fine, always has been before. The update completed correctly and shuw down for reboot as planned.
The system now no longer boots. Nothing at all happens. When I press the power button, no matter whether with AC supply or on battery, the following happens:
- num lock, caps lock, HDD and 'power on' lights light up for a second or so then go off again
- they come back on again for another second, and off again
- then only the bluetooth light and the 'power on' light remain lit, and nothing else happens
It seems pretty fried to me. What can I do? I'm in severe despair! :'(
Thanks in advance for your help,
Phil

Hans;
Thank you for the reply. Say hiya to Amelia for me. Does this mean you're an alien?
Ok, I tried using bootable CD and no go.
I don't really have a simpler graphics card around to try that. So that test may not happen.
I can try with one dimm when I get home (I'm at work atm.)
I also thought about putting the drive into another system and will try that also later today or tomorrow morning.
D-Bracket: I will have to watch that again. It really didn't make sense to me as the lights went through a lot of the steps then came to a halt at what I think was BIOS Sign on. Someone did suggest to me that I might have a virus, which may be why the second hard drive failed eventually. But I'm not sure about that and not sure what can be done about that unless clearing CMOS would take care of it.
So, any new thoughts?

I want to turn off auto updating on my Mac 10.4.11 How do I do this?

# Question
I want to turn off auto updating on my Mac 10.4.11 How do I do this?
When firefox tries to upgrade (without asking) it tends to upset my Mac's usual functioning.

You can go into Edit, then Preferences, then Advanced, then update, and set your update settings there.
