Automatic Update never automatic updates!

I have automatic update to, well, update automatic.
However, there's always a pop-up message saying I need to download the new update, it opens a browser, asks me to install McAfee, I say no, then press to download, save a file, and then run the file to update.... how's that automatic updating?
Flash updates so often that this gets annoying. It defeats the whole purpose of pressing Automatic Update.
Is there a fix for this?
1) I already went to the Flash Player Settings Manager and it does say "Allow Adobe to install updates"
2) The mms.cfg file (found this on the net) says:
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
AutoUpdateDisable=0
If it matters I'm running on Windows 7 64-bit

Hi TruSake,
The latest release of Flash Player was a 'loud' release, therefore it will not be updated via the Background Update (Automatic Update) process. Please see An outline of Flash Runtime installation options, specifically the 'Installation Options' section, for more information on why this is and how often Flash Player is updated.

New Build ... Windows Update Never Shows Updates. Checking for Updates just goes round and round

I've got a brand new installation of Server 2008 Standard, full with GUI and I've setup the server with a public IP so I can get to the internet. Even tested getting to Dell Support website.
But when checking for updates the "Checking for updates" just goes round and round. It never stops and shows me what updates are available.
I'm trying to create an image of this build for testing purposes.
I ran into the same issue when I was doing a VM test and only had a private IP. I thought I wasn't able to get to Windows Update using our internal proxy with the private IP. But now there seems to be more of an issue.
I've already setup the Windows Update service the same way we have for 2003 and 2008 ... Automatic and started.
Any suggestions?

Please run the system update readiness tool.

Automatic Updates Never Work

In all the years I have been using Skype desktop client, I don't think it has ever auto-updated itself despite this feature being enabled (and on several different computers).
I am currently running Windows 8.1 Pro (fully up to date).
Today I performed a manual update check and as usual it said that I already have the latest version of Skype installed which is currently 7.0.0.102
Just to make sure, I checked the current download version on the Skype website.
This shows 7.1.60.105
I tried disabling my AV software and also the firewall just in case they were causing a problem but it made no difference.
Any ideas please? This is quite annoying!
Alan

Thanks for the reply.
I've already mentioned that I tried completely disabling my antivirus and firewall.
You say that the most recent version may not be available for my computers yet, but the point I am making is that it has NEVER auto updated in YEARS of use.
I still don't understand why Skype should be so different to all other apps that work properly.
And how am I supposed to know whether an update is available?
No version numbers are published. The only way to find out if there's an update is to download the file and check the file properties.

Airport 2005.001 Update not automatically selected in Software Update Pgm

This post was originally posted in the Tiger Installation and Updates forum. See http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1403953#1403953
It was suggested that this post be posted in the Airport forum. Perhaps some one knows the answer.
I just upgraded to 10.4.3. It went smoothly! But I needed to fix file permissions after the update using the Disk Utility.
Then I ran software update. Software Update now shows the following updates:
iTunes Phone Driver
Quicktime 7.0.3
iTunes 6.0.1
Airport 2005.001
iPod Updater 2005-11-17
Security Update 2005.009
I never saw the Airport Update and the new Security Update until after I upgraded from 10.4.2 to 10.4.3. (I suspect both are related to 10.4.3).
What is strange is that all the updates are checked when I run Software Update EXCEPT the Airport Update.
Why isn't the Airport 2005.001 update checked like all the other updates? Should I be concerned? Should I manually check this Airport Update and update the software?
Rob

You are correct when you say it is strange that the AirPort update was not automatically check in SU, I also observed this. Just check and go.

Updating Playcounts Automatically On My IPOD

I have a 20G click wheel IPOD. One of the best features of this was that you could create a playlist of never played songs and it would automatically remove the played song from the list once it was played. This way you never had to hear the same song twice.
The feature is gone after a firmware update, never to appear again.
I want to figure out a way to inform Apple that this is a feature we as users want back. How do we get heard. Any ideas on how to get this organization to respond?
This is typical Apple -- taking a feature away and not respond back to their users.
If you agree vote for my playlist on IMiX - Protest about Apple Support!!

Presumably if you have deleted music off your computer (and your iTunes) then you must have your iPod set to manually manage it's content.
Genius doesn't work with manually managed iPods, it needs to auto sync with iTunes.

I am using Firefox 3.6.8. Oddly, my problem appeared a few hours PRIOR to Firefox automatically installing the latest updates (the week ending 7/23), not afterwards. The problem is this: the browser continues to display tabs, the reload/home/history/favorites icons, URL field and Google search field while in full-screen mode, so it's not really full-screen anymore. How can I correct this?

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Update data automatically in sql server 2005 based on condition proplem

Hi guys i have problem I have two table
First one is
Second One is Vacation
as relation one to many (vacation has foreign key of Contract No OF Table Contract)
what i need is to update Contract table with field status =Finish where start vacation date >end contract Date
How i do that in sql server 2005 to make update automatically
Ex
contract table
status nvarchar(20)
end contract date time
vacation table
start vacation date time
end vacation date time
start vacation date is 23/10/2014
and End
is 26/10/2014
Now not update status in contract table to finish because vacation date start is less from end contract
but when date today is 27/10/2014 update contract table field status to finish
automatically with sql server 2005
How i do that condition to make update to data automatically based on changing on date
Update statement i need is
update Contract set status = finish where start vacation>end contract
but problem how i write this statement to update data automatically based on date today

Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys, constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in your schema are. Learn how to follow ISO-11179 data element naming conventions and formatting rules. Temporal data should
use ISO-8601 formats. You failed again. Code should be in Standard SQL as much as possible and not local dialect.
This is minimal polite behavior on SQL forums. Now we have to write the DDL that you did not bother with! What you did post was wrong! There is no key or constraints. There is no generic “status” in RDBMS; a "<something in particular>_status"
is a state of being, so it needs a temporal duration. The correct idiom for this data model is:
CREATE TABLE Vacations
(vacation_contract CHAR(15) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
vacation_start_date DATE NOT NULL,
vacation_end_date DATE,
CHECK(vacation_start_date < vacation_end_date),
Oh, a field is nothing like a column. You need to read a basic SQL or RDBMS book; you do not know the basics.

HT4589 should I install each update in successive order? Or will installing the 10.7 update automatically install every previous update? I have FCPX 10.0.0 currently. Dumb question?

Installing 10.0.7 negates the need to install previous updates. Just install it (it will upgrade your projects to a newer format as well, from memory).
Thankfully, the days of doing it the way you were thinking are well behind us.

I do not want iOS to update itself automatically, does it do this?

I am new to the iPhone, and iOS.
I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 5.0.1 I hear 5.0.2 is coming out any day now.
As a Mac user I always like to wait after an update is released to read the feedback.
Will iOS update itself automatically?
If so how do I disable this?

No, it wont update automatically. You can either go to the computer, or update in Genral Settings (if so, over wifi because it gets expensive for a high data download over 3g).
Thank you for choosing Apple.

VE 108 or How can I update prices automatically

Good day to everyone!
I've got some problem with a tax determination in MM.
Condition type - MWST.
I created a personal condition table (501) with only field - Tax code.
Also I changed access sequence for MWST with that table.
I entered condition records for a new table via MEK31.
Problem!
When I create purchase order (ME21N) I enter a tax code on the "Invoice" tab. But, tax in the calculation schema doesn't determined. In pricing analysis there is an error message VE 108. After updating prices (G - Copy pricing elements unchanged and redetermine taxes) - tax succesfully determines.
Can I customize updating process automatically? Where? In schema?
Thanks a lot!

Hey!
Thanks Vijay
I dont know why but changing the cost center does not trigger the user exit EXIT_SAPLMEKO_002, needed for the correct price determination. I think this is the cause of the message VE108.
Does anybody know if it is normal that that user exit is not called when changing the cost center?
some other ideas?
Regards!

Datastore: Update data automatically functionality

Hi Experts,
I have a datastore object DSO1(target) that is fed from another datastore Object DSO2(source).
The source DSO (dso2) is fed from table in R/3 via an infopackage and DTP (BI 7.0 model).
The target DSO (dso1) gets data from the source via an update rule (BW3.5).
I checked the following settings on DSO2 (source)
"Update data automatically"
"activate data automatically" 
When i run a manual load on DSO2 (source) the request that is loaded gets updated automatically into the target - DSO1 and gets activated automatically - as expected

However when I run a process chain which uses the same infopackage and DTP to load a similar request into the source-DSO2 the corresponding request DOES NOT get updated automatically. I have to rt click on DSO2 and trigger an update via "Update data in 3.x data target" to load the request.
Can anyone please tell me why the request would update for manual loads and not loads via process chain.
I used the process type "Update Data Store Object Data (Further Update) " to update the data but i don't want to do this because we are planning to keep the target ODS1 in a different process chain.
I can schedule an infopackage in the other process chain to load data from source DSO but it is extremely important that every time a request gets loaded into source DSO it gets updated into the target DSO. This is because of certain delta issues we are having when we try to load multiple requests from source into target at a time.
"Get data by request" on a 7.0 DTP won't work either since every execution of DTP gets only one request at a time. If we want to load multiple requests we need to execute DTP multiple times (cannot be automated!).
Helpful answers will be rewarded.

Hi,
I guess you could create a Metachain and create the dependency between the 2 process chain. The you'll also be able to include the variant that you need in the metachain itself.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Update Data Automatically

I have created a new ODS. In the ODS, the "Update Data Automatically" and "Activate Data Automatically" indicators are checked...I then created a Cube linked to this ODS.
Because of the Update Data Automatically indicator is checked in ODS,so system will then update the data automatically up to the data target (InfoCube).
Question is because I am now using the Transformation between InfoCube and ODS, does the update data will still happened automatically?
Or I have to create the DTP and schedule the Process Chain?

Hi.....
"Activate Data Automatically" indicators is generally ignored while using a Process chain.......
Solution -
Use process chains to automate data activation.
You are right........Update Data Automatically indicator is checked in ODS,so system will then update the data automatically up to the data target (InfoCube).....................But this settings are in most cases ignored ,becoz in a prod environment process chains are used........to load DSO......when process chains are used both the settings..Update Data Automatically" and "Activate Data Automatically"........are ignorde.......
So create a DTP........
Hope this helps......

Windows Media Player keeping Automatic Maintenance window/Windows Updates from doing auto-restart

I have a system that is connected to a domain, and it runs a video playlist in Windows Media Player for digital signage upon bootup (and auto-login). WMP is set to loop the videos over and over again, but it also is preventing automatic updates from
installing and/or auto-restarting at 3:00AM in the morning (and yes, the system power management is set to keep the computer on all the time).
How can I fix this?
I have a GPO set up to install updates and restart automatically (option 4). I tried the GPO option to use the Windows 8 maintenance window to install updates, and also tried turning that option off and just using a 3:00AM restart period. Neither
option seems to work, so it looks like Windows Media Player is preventing an auto-restart to finish the update installation. Is there any way around this, so that Windows Media Player doesn't stop Windows Updates from doing its job? I don't care
if that means the video stops playing because it just starts up again on the next bootup.
I looked at the WMP GPO's and the only option that sounds like it's related is the option to turn on or off the auto-updating of media info for WMP, but it has nothing to do with what I'm trying to accomplish. If I missed something, let me know.
If there is some other way to accomplish this, such as associating and launching the playlist file with the Xbox Videos app, I would be fine with that, but I need it to loop the playlist continually (I also use the Shuffle option
in WMP - ***see note below for another question). I still want the system to automatically install updates and reboot on a regular schedule despite the video playing in the foreground.
***Side question: is there any way to turn Repeat and Shuffle options on in WMP without having to load the GUI (for scripting a playlist)?
Just FYI: this system is actually using Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Enterprise (from a MAPS account), but it isn't customized aside from not having the standard WinRT apps from a stock Win 8.1 install loaded - it is a stock install from the ISO.
From what I understand, it is the same as Windows 8.1 Enterprise, except that it is only licensed to be used as an "appliance" machine for a single role - which it is. So I'm assuming that there are no actual differences from a "regular"
Windows 8.1 SKU that would cause this issue. If I am completely mistaken about this, please notify me on it. The reason I'm making this statement is in case there are any differences in Embedded 8.1 Industry Enterprise that I am not aware of.
Otherwise, I welcome any assistance that would target a "regular" version of 8.1 Enterprise. NOTE: Someone said to post this into the Windows Embedded forum, but the only one that exists is the one for POSready - and this is HARDLY the
POSready version of Windows Embedded that I'm using.

Hi,
Did you use the policy Local Computer Policy\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update\Always automatically restart at the scheduled time?
I noticed an description "restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations" policy is enabled, then this policy has no effect." it means if system installed some updates which unneeds restart computer, this policy would has no effect.
In my opinion, your problem should not caused by WMP setting. please check your installed updates whether they need restart computer.
In addition, Power Managment in Control Panel also can prevent the schedule task running.
Control Panel\System and Security\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings\Change advanced power settings\Sleep\Allow wake timers
Please make sure this option is enable.
