Automatic Adobe Update for users without admin privileges

Hi there,
I have a PC with Windows 7 Professional (32bits) and Adobe Reader (9.4.6)
I have selected "Automatically install updates" in Preferences --> Updater:
The problem is: when a normal user (without admin privileges) is using the system, it turns up an Adobe Box which asks the user to install the Update:
But when the user tries to update, it asks to insert the admin password.
How can I solve this? I would like Adobe Reader updates to be downloaded and automatically installed for users in my PC without admin privileges. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Pablo

Anyone have any further insight into this? Is there a way to simply give the user admin creds but only for Adobe Reader that would permit users to do thier own updates?
I don't want to have to constantly update the MSI I am deploying with GP/LUP if possible.
I am, however simply looking to update 11.0.0 to 11.0.1 ,11.0.2....etc without having to touch GP/LUP/each end user machine

Flash Player Administration - upgrade users without admin privileges

Is this possible? How have you answered this painfully obvious problem in your enterprise?
We have a remote Sales Force which do not connect to our domain. I looked through the Admin Guide - I do not want to disable the auto-update. I want to make the auto-update work for users without admin privileges.

Currently, the user does need to be an admin account for an update to occur. However, the good news is that this will change in 11.2. Once 11.2 is installed on Windows (using an admin account), there won't need to be further user interaction for future updates. Users on limited accounts will be updated silently, without admin interaction.

What is the Flash Player auto-update behaviour for users without admin credentials on OSX and Windows?

Hi
Does Flash Player auto-update have the ability to update systems when a user does not have administrator access on their device?
What will the results be if we enable Flash Player auto-update on OSX and Windows systems where:
1. Users are log in with accounts that DO NOT have administrator access; and
2. Internet access is granted via a proxy server, but only when a user with NO administrator credentials is logged in.
Thanks in advance.

So there's no way to completely turn off user notification AND allow background updates unless you use a locally hosted update server? That's too bad.
Reading page 26 of the manual, I see there's an mms.cfg file that you can configure, with an option SilentAutoUpdateEnable, which is described on page 32:
SilentAutoUpdateEnable
SilentAutoUpdateEnable = [ 0, 1 ] (0 = false, 1 = true)
Availability: Flash Player 11.2 for Microsoft Windows, and Flash Player 11.3 for Macintosh
Enables a Flash Player update to install silently in the background with no user interaction. Installs both the ActiveX and plug-in players when appropriate. This type of update is called a Flash Player background update.
Standard users cannot disable background updates if they are enabled by an administrator.
Depending on the type of browser, if the user has a browser open at the time of an update, the browser might not use the updated player immediately. For more information, see "Performing a background update" on page 19.
The default value is 0 to disable background updates.
So you're saying that even if we enable this option (but don't configure a local server), users may still be prompted some or all of the time?

Since I have updated to Firefox version 5, my Firefox browser just hangs when I am logged in to my laptop without Admin privilege. If I am logged into my laptop as Admin then Firefox is working well is this a known issue.

Since I have updated to Firefox version 5, I cannot use Firefox on my laptop as a normal user without Admin privilege. Whenever I try to run Firefox, the browser window just says connecting and hangs. It looks like it also uses all the CPU and stops all other processes on the computer. Even the computer clock stops working.
If I am logged into my laptop as Admin then Firefox works well as it used to with previous versions. I am using Windows XP service pack 3.

Hi Tylerdowner -
Thanks for your suggestion.
I already tried a Reset, but all that did was lose all my settings , search engines etc. and one or two add-ons - as expected.
I also already tried updating my graphics driver - both manually, and with Windows Update (Automatic Updates is set to ON anyway, and I've checked the optional ones as well, and though there was nothing relevant there, I installed most of them anyway!) Apparently I'm using the most up-to-date and appropriate driver already!
Oh dear........
Going to try turning off hardware acceleration next....

Adobe Updater 9.3.2 Admin Rights

Hi,
Simple question really. The updater feature in adobe reader 9.3.2, does a user need to have administrative rights to use the "Automatically Install Updates" option.
ive installed it for a test user without admin rights and it has the entire updater feature grayed out and the radio button is set to "Do not download or install updates automatically", even though i have the registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe ARM\1.0\ARM] "iCheck"=dword:00000003 set.
when i log in as someone with admin rights the setting to automatically install updates is selected.
thanks in advance
Eric

no replys to this? no one has an answer or can at least point me to an article with the answer?
thanks

Welcome to the forum: please read the FAQ and forum sticky threads (if you haven't done so already), and ensure you have updated with your profile with a real handle instead of "866673".
You'll get a faster, more effective response to your questions by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should usually include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB version and edition
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener)
<li>Browser(s)/version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Templates
<li>Region type
(although for your question only the APEX version is necessary).
Assuming you mean a user who can authenticate to an application that uses Application Express Account Credentials?
In APEX 4.0:
1. Go to Home > Application Builder > [Your Application ] > Administration > Create Users and Groups > Create User
2. Enter the User Identification information.
3. In the Account Privileges, specify:
User is a workspace administrator: No
User is a developer: No
4. Complete the rest of the form as necessary.

Alternative for HLS HTML streaming trough JW player for users without Flash?

Hello!
I am using HLS TS Streaming trough JW player for the largest group of users that have flash for streaming video's.
Is there an alternative for users without flash?
Best regards

I will just summarize myself...
Adobe media server supports rtmp and HTTP(HLS and HDS)..
for rtmp streaming the swf running in a Flash player is the standard interface...that flash player may be an activeX control/plugin in your browser or may be a standalone player downloaded from adobe website...Chrome web browser however users a slightly different( PPAPI based) flash player(which is different from Adobe flash player) and is developed and maintained by google.
For HLS and HDS, you can either use special players(i.e swfs)(Flash based) developed Adobe by Adobe e.g Strobe meida player(Open Source Media Framework Blog | Adobe’s free and open source media playback system) or you can use players like jwplayer(Video Player Download | JW Player Online Video Player)... Incidentally jwplayer has added simultaneous support for playing rtmp streams too(which is reallly good), but i do not have much insight into workings of jwplayer...

After an Automatic Adobe Update, Photoshop crashes on opening files

I just did the automatic adobe update to photoshop (CS3) and now I crash on opening files (file-open....crash!)
I tried deleting the preferences file, still crashes in the same place
I have un installed the program, reinstalled from the original program disc (not done the update) and it still is crashing.
I haave a Macbook pro with 2.33 Intel core 2 Duo processor, and am running 10.5.6
Any ideas?
Thanks
Carrie

You really need to be running the updated version of CS3. If its crashing in the new user its probably a system thing.
I would run Diskwarrior or Apple's Disk Utility from the DVD. then I would update the System to 10.5.7 with the 10.5.7 Combo updater downloaded from the Apple website.

Do open fonts work in Word for users without the font on their machine?

Our team creates documents in Word and we would like to use an Open Font (Adobe Jenson Pro)--there is quite a bit of internal file-sharing and I don't want the font to switch to something ugly when it is reviewed in Word (because Word users do not have this font installed by default). I know that there is some cross-compatibility. We would like to apply this font to the template and don't want to introduce a font issue. anyone with experience know how if this works with the Open Font in word documents for users without it installed?
thanks!!
Anne

Open TYPE fonts are Adobe fonts
Nope. OTF's are made by many different companies. Adobe DOES have many of them yes but they don't rule the market on them.

Reset Password without Admin Privileges

I am using the latest APEX hosted via apex.oracle.com. I'm trying to create a 'forgot password' capability but it appears that every built-in apex utility that allows me to reset and/or update the password requires admin privileges. Is there any way to do this without having admin privileges? I'm using APEX Authentication.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Create an authentication function with two parameters something like this and follow the link to create a custom authentication scheme.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21674/sec_authentication.htm#HTMDB25778
function my_authentication (
    p_username in varchar2,
    p_password in varchar2 )
    return boolean
is
    l_user my_users.user_name%type := upper(p_username);
    l_pwd my_users.password%type;
    l_id   my_users.id%type;
begin
    select id , password
      into l_id, l_pwd
      from my_users
     where user_name = l_user;
    return l_pwd = rawtohex(sys.dbms_crypto.hash (
                       sys.utl_raw.cast_to_raw(p_password||l_id||l_user),
                       sys.dbms_crypto.hash_md5 ));
exception
    when NO_DATA_FOUND then return false;
end;

Designing Java Apps for Users Without a JRE Installed Yet

Hi, sorry if this post is in the wrong place, but here goes:
I'm designing a Swing Java application for a client. My client intends to distribute/sell this application.
I'm concerned because, chances are that at least one of the people he distributes this application to will not have the JRE installed and will thus be unable to run the application.
Can anyone give me some suggestions on ways I can make my application more convenient for users without the JRE currently installed? Even some kind of error message that would direct the user to the JRE download site would be okay.

Use NSIS and package your application with JRE.
Add your jar files to lib/ext of the JRE package.
NSIS can create a short cut (desktop/start menu) to launch java class/jar file
I would not use webstart unless you are sure that clients will have access to the internet, the bandwidth is not an issue and installing the new JRE is allowed (permissions, SLA, etc.)
Best regards.

User requires ADMIN privilege to perform this operation.

Hi
I have written a procedure which creates a new workspace. The owner of the package has been granted apex_administrator_role. This works fine with SQL Developer/Plus.
But when I try to use this procedure from my Apex page I get User requires ADMIN privilege to perform this operation.
I understand that Apex makes a connection with APEX_PUBLIC_USER, and this can be one of the reasons of the error. But I would like to know if there is some solution:
My code is:
      apex_instance_admin.add_workspace (
        p_workspace          => p_name,
        p_primary_schema     => p_name,
        p_additional_schemas => '');
--p_name is passed as a parameter and workspace and primary_schema name are the sameHabib

I think you will need to grant privleges to apex_instance_admin directly to the owner of the package.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14072_01/network.112/e10574/authorization.htm#BABFJEGJ
The privileges of the procedure's definer must be granted directly to the user, not granted through roles.

How to automate download update for Apps ?

HI,
Is there a way to automate downloads updates for iPhone or iPad (Apps) from itunes?
I did not find a way to do it with AppleScript?
There is a post said "No solution" for that option (from 2010). I wanted to know if the situation as changed since ?
Many Tahnks
HDR

Go into the App Store, go to the "Featured" link on the bottom left, and scroll all the way down. At the bottom, you'll see your account information. Click on that, enter your password if needed, and click "View Apple ID".
Near the bottom of that display, you'll see "Turn off Genius for Apps".
These instructions work for iOS 6. Your post says you have an earlier iOS. They may not work there.
Suggest you get iOS 6.0.1 if you don't already have it.

"Adobe updater" for all Adobe products

Hello,
it would be realy nice to have a "Adobe Updater" for all Adobe Products.
At the momemt Flash Player, Adobe Reader, Photoshop Elements, ... has their own updater, but some Adobe products have still no auto updater.
So please create one updater for all products.

I can speak only for Windows systems and there I currently know:
- Air
- Shockwave Player
For Photoshop Elements (as example) there exist already the "Adobe Application Manager".
Flash/Shockwave Player, Adobe Reader and Air should be also updated via "Adobe Application Manager".
There it should be possible to set for each application, if we want also beta updates if available or not.

Windows 7: Flash Player automatic update fails due missing admin privilege. UAC issue?

The Windows 7 account I am using has admin privilege.
The automatic update displays an error message pop-up. In English it would be something like: "The installation encountered errors: You need administrator privlige to install Adobe Flash Player. Please log on as an administrator and try again."
At Windows 7 I am using the standard UAC security level settings and I am not willing to lower them. I am also not willing to install a Player update manually for three browsers every other week.
Any solution?
Thanks

Your page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html mirrors my Flash Player as
at Chrome: 11.2.202.229
at Firefox: 10.3.183.11
at IE: 10.3.183.11
So I manually update once more for Firefox and once more for IE and hope it will update automatically from then on.
Thanks
