Automatic update search

Since updating my virus/firewall program (Trend PC-cillin
14), Flex shows Automatic Update Search (6%) in lower right corner
and in Progress Window shows - Contacting Eclipse .org update site.
This never changes.
My firewall is obviously preventing access to the internet,
but I've tried adding FlexBuilder.exe to the list of programs
granted outgoing access and this has made no difference. Does
anyone know what program is actually trying to do the update or
what I have to do to give this program access?
Usually Trend puts up a message saying such-and-such is
trying to access the internet and I can grant or deny access, but
this doesn't happen with Flex.
Any ideas about what to do would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Doug

I recognize the exact sequence you are describing...did you even attempt what the KB suggests? I am not sure if it does exactly what you are wanting, so trying will at least provide a yes or no...
(off topic...) As for attaching images, when you click the little green tree, it pops up a screen. From what you described, I think you clicked the chain link button...which is to paste a URL link into the body of the message...not an image. To the immediate right is a little green tree...click that to upload images into your post.
Best!

  • How can I prevent Firefox from automatically updating?

    Hello,
    I am trying to prevent Firefox 28 from automatically updating to Firefox 29 (on OSX 10.7.5).
    I have the option "Never check for updates" checked under 'Update' in the 'Advanced' Preferences. I have "Automatically update Search Engines" unchecked. I have uninstalled Firefox 29 completely using two separate uninstall clean-up kits and emptied the trash before re-installing Firefox 28... Yet every time I finally re-arrange, customize and re-sync Firefox 28 back to the way I like it, I restart my Mac and Firefox 29 rears it's over-drawn, bubbly, space-wasting, UN-SYNCED, ridiculous tabs on top nonsense user interface.
    I've tried to work with Firefox 29 but the new SYNC simply does not work and that's a deal breaker. I need the changes I make on my mac to be reflected across the other two systems on my desk (one WinXP, one Win7) and vice versa. When I try to sync on FF29 it takes me to a page to log in and then refuses to recognize my email and password (which I have thoroughly confirmed on my other systems as correct).
    Can you please help me prevent Firefox 28 from automatically updating to Firefox 29?

    Thank you for your comments, cor-el.
    Yes, I know about Classic Theme Restorer, but the point is what gives Mozilla the right to update my Firefox when I already have quite clearly set every option to prevent automatic updates?
    I have set:
    app.update.auto - false
    app.update.enabled - false
    app.update.silent - false
    So which secret magic setting has Mozilla used to bypass all these settings and what gives them the right to do it?
    Also, moving the tabs bar and menu bar and whatever else has been moved in Firefox 29 is a THEME change. It is not a security fix. Mozilla should not be in the business of changing the theme or look of Firefox. It is not their business how I want my Firefox to look.
    Regarding "tabs", I have mine down the left side, so this tweaking of the tab bar position is pointless anyway.
    To Mozilla, Just for absolute clarification, there is no way you can possibly justify forcing an update on users computers without their explicit acceptance.
    What if someone found out how Mozilla forced the update? They could then force an update that is NOT a genuine Firefox release and do untold damage to peoples' computers.
    So now I am forced to delete Firefox from my startup script and start it manually just in case their is another forced update that I can stop.
    To cor-el, thank you for your post.
    To Mozilla, you have lost the plot.

  • How do I set up automatic updates to Waterfox?

    When I go to Waterfox, then options, then Options, then the Update tab, all I see is Automatically update search engines - there is no option shown for actually getting updates. I have Waterfox version 14.0.1. I would like to be able to update to more current versions when they become available. How do I do that?

    I haven't tried Waterfox. On their help forum, the discussion implies that you might have a separate update icon, or that you could set one up. See: [http://www.overclock.net/t/1308687/waterfox-updater#post_18217940].

  • After automatically updating when I turned on the computer, Firefox erased all my History from the end of September until the update yesterday; how can I get back all the searches in my Show All History?

    When I opened Firefox and it automatically updated yesterday, all my search history from then back to the end of September was wiped clean from the "Show All History." I very much need that search history, which is essential for my research. I didn't bookmark it because I knew it would always be there. But it's not. Please help.

    Firefox tarballs from Mozilla Org use prefs within Firefox for updates. The "toggle" for not automatically updating - '''app.update.enabled''' and where to look for updates - '''app.update.url'''. The first needs to be '''''false''''' and the second could be a '''''null''''' string, do an update can't be found.
    ''I use both prefs to keep Firefox from updating by itself. I install each new version of Firefox as it is released, and keep the older versions around for reference purposes. Those prefs are the same since Firefox 1.5 came out.''
    The versions of Firefox that are part of an operating system installation usually are that OS's own build of Firefox, and don't use the same update setup as Mozilla uses, in most cases. I am not familiar with Cent OS, but Ubuntu and Debian look for Firefox updates and from their own program repository servers outside of Firefox - as with the tarballs from Mozilla.

  • Options\Advanced\Update\Search Engines: Check this to receive automatic updates to your search engines. ??? Updates to my search engines?? Explain please.

    The details are in the question.
    The Firefox "Menu Bar" has a 'Tools' list/menu, wherein lies an 'Options' option.
    This produces a window which presents eight further sets of options, which are selected by clicking on an 'icon' at the top of this window. Clicking on the "Advanced" icon, and then the "Update" tab, allows me to select, or deselect, the option to "...receive automatic updates to your search engines."
    The Mozilla Support search engine was unable to find a match for the above question; can any of Mozilla's helpers locate the missing explanation?
    What search engines are these? What updates are these?

    Thank you. I had used the Customize Toolbar option to remove that item from the Navigation Toolbar as I like settings in the online version of one or other search engine, and I had not played with this feature to see if it was that flexible.
    Now all I need is to find out what is indicated when Firefox "updates" these plugins, and whether they are of any actual use.
    Thank you for your contribution.

  • Is it recommendale to deactivate the automatic update of search plugins for a faster start of FF?

    I read that one can deactivate the automatic update for search engines in the settings because there are very seldom such updates (e.g. lastly in early 2010 for Google). This would provide a faster start of FF.
    I don't want to have overaged search plugins that might cause trouble, so my question is: Is it recommendable to do this?
    If you speak german, here is the URL where I found this:
    http://www.computerbild.de/fotos/Mozilla-Firefox-20-verstecke-Funktionen-6272370.html#18

    You can lock the related pref(s).
    lockPref("app.update.auto", false);
    lockPref("app.update.enabled", false);
    See:

  • I automatically updated to Firefox 4.0.1 for Mac, and now the program misbehaves. It hangs when I try to quit. Can I downgrade to 4.0?

    I was running 4.0 on my Intel Mac (Leopard 10.5.8), and everything was fine. Firefox automatically updated me to 4.0.1. Then I noticed my computer running very slowly. I am unable to quite Firefox without forcing a quit.
    Can I reinstall 4.0? If so, where can I download the original version?
    Thanks.

    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:'''1.9.0.11''') Gecko/'''2009060214''' Firefox/'''3.0.11 FBSMTWB'''
    Your users agent is stuck at Firefox 3.0.11 due to a extension during when you had 3.0.11 and it tacked on stuff on end and kept it from updating the version number. This was due to the "Fast Browser Search toolbar" extension (FBSMTWB). This issue is not a problem with Firefox 4.0 and newer.
    See this on how to reset it to normal. https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/websites%20or%20add-ons%20incorrectly%20report%20incompatible%20browser#w_reset-your-user-agent

  • Automatically updating files on local testing Server

    I'm using EasyPHP-5.3.5.0 as a testing server on my local machine (I've use EasyPHP for several years). I set up the Site Definition in DW8 using the testing server root folder (www) as the development area; however, this caused problems when I attempted to upload from within DW to the Remote (production) server.  I then modified the Site Definition to use a local folder. other then the Testing Server folder, for development which solved the upload problem.  Then in the Site Definition I setup the Testing Server using the "PHP MySQL" model with "Local/Network" access. The Testing Server folder was set to "C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-5.3.5.0\" and the "Refresh Testing file list automatically" box was checked.  The URL prefex was set to "http://127.0.0.1:8888/" as defined in the EasyPHP instructions.  My problem is that Dreamweaver is not updating the files on the testing server when I save a file in the development folder. The development folder and the Testing Server reside on the same computer. If I copy and paste a file to the testing server everything works fine.  I would like the testing server files to be automatically updated when I save a file in the development folder which is what the Site Definition seems to indicate should happen.  Any thoughts on what the problem is and how to fix it would be appreciated.

  • After trying to run the iTunes automatic update, I got this "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." Click OK to try again,or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'itunes.msi"

    After trying to run the iTunes automatic update, I got this box on my pc "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi" in the box below.. I ran a search for the file, and entered that into the box, to no avail. Then I launched iTunes and clicked on 'check for updates', and was told I had the latest version 11.0.1 I think it is. So, any clue on what to do? Thanks for any and all help.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Error 1907 after automatic update

    I am using Office 2010 Home and Student Edition on Windows 7 Home Premium.  After a recent automatic update, I now have problems.  When I start Office, I get the "installing updates, please wait" splash screen.  When the green progress
    bar is almost complete, I get the "Error 1907.  Could not register font" error message.  If I chose "Ignore" or "Retry", I am stuck in a loop.  The only option is to "Abort".  Then I get a message
    that the changes are being rolled back.  I can now use Word with no problems until the Microsoft mothership releases another update for Office.  Then I go through this nonsense again.
    Probably you have already replied to this post about the known fix for this known problem.  If you have bothered to read this far, I can tell you that I have tried the
    SFC /SCANNOW
    fix, and it does not work
    for my problem.  The scan completed and reported no problems.  I did not have a problem when installing Office, and I am not running Vista or Server 2008, which seem to be the circumstances the SFC fix addresses.
    For now I have turned off Microsoft Updates (leaving Windows Updates active), but this is not a real fix.

    Hi,
    You can first try the method provided by Ron-Ray in the following thread:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_programs/error-1907-could-not-register-font-verify-that-you/57f3a671-feec-4dc7-873c-bb2a7de9521f
    I paste his reply here:
    Error 1907 occurs when a program is uninstalled and/or another program installed (usually Office 2000, 2010 or 2013) that does not install the ".TTF" files (font files with the .ttf extension). 
    The required font files need to be replaced to the "C\Windows\Font" directory (folder) on your hard drive .
    The "sfc /scannow" command does not always remedy this. If not, follow the procedure below.
    1. Create a temporary folder, [C:\temp] 
    2. *Search file OWOW64WW.cab, ProPsWW.cab and ProPsWW2.cab in your Microsoft Office installation source (Office 2010), since this is what causes this error *most of the time. 
    *or search for: "owow32ww.cab, proprww.cab and proprww2.cab" in the "proplusr.ww" installation directory of Microsoft Office 2000. 
    * (Office 2000 installation: search in the "drive\Windows\Fonts" directory.)
    3. Copy all the ".ttf" files there to the "temp" folder you created. 
    Find and copy all the font files to your temporary folder. (Extract them all using Winrar or 7-zip, if they are in a cabinet ".cab" file. 
    4. "Paste" all the font files in to: 'C:\Windows\Font' folder of your hard drive. (overwrite all). 
    5. Re-start your program (Office, etc.) and the installation will complete with no further "Error 1907" warnings.
    If above not work, try to copy the font from another Windows 7 Home Premium computer, and paste it to the C:\Windows\Fonts folder to check the result.
    Note: please make sure you have backed up the folder before you conduct the copy/paste step.
    Hope it helps.

  • Windows 8 to 8.1 automatic update doesn't finish

    (Model # m6-k010dx) My new laptop after 13 months automatically updated from windows 8 to 8.1 after I had said 'no' as many times as it allowed. After the update my files are still on it and most things are there but it seems 'stuck' and the orange screen keeps flickering like start to desktop so fast you usually can't even click anything in time to open it before it switches. I was told that the drivers probably needed to be updated first (eventhough I am pretty sure I kept up with all my other updates that popped up the only one I postponed was 8.1) and that I should refresh it, so I lose my programs but keep my files. I'm so sad I now lost Photoshop cs6 and my prefered antivirus (webroot) But anyway back to 8.0, it functioned fine aside from annoying pop ups to install norton antivirus no thank you, i bought webroot again. no updates were available.
    I went to HP.com drivers update, searched for my pc and its correct update, and next thing I know is it's installing windows 8.1....??!
    So again when it's 'done' and reboots, the screens flicker forever. I shut down, restart, same. so I put it back to windows 8... i have just been borrowing my friends computer to get work down and contact geeksquad on my 1 day off but they only tell me to go to best buy and pay them $127 for them to update my PC to an UNWANTED OS. But i have to give my friend his PC back soon. Please help asap!!!
    Also forgot to mention when the screens are flickering, a few explorer.exe - application errors pop up on occaision. IE: "the instruction at 0xaa0c663c referenced memory at 0xaa0c663c. The memory could not be written. Click ok to terminate the program." was one the last time,
    and the time before it, the initial windows 8.1 update when I still had Webroot antivirus, the pop up said "the instruction at 0x9b63663c referenced memory at 0x9b63663c. The memory could not be written. Click ok to terminate the program." the other pop ups the initial time came from Webroot - IE: "This file is trying to install itself to start every time the computer turns on  C:\Windows\system32\DrvInst.exe" and gives the options to block, allow once, or allow always.
    Another trying to install every time computer starts is "C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\WMIADAP.EXE"
    and another is : "Process ID: 4244 
    Thread ID: 3460 
    Event Type: Registry 
    Access: Write
    Registry Key: \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\NDIS\IfTypes\131
    Value: IfUsedNetLuidIndices"
    I searched all of those but found nothing. THank you in advance

    Hi @ASAP666 
    Thank you for your query, I will try my utmost to help you resolve this difficulty.
    As you seem to be getting multiple errors I suggest you do a Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8).
    This will reinstall the Windows 8 OS but should not affect your personal setting.
    If you do not want the update here is a link to  Turn automatic updating on or off
    from windows.microsoft.com
    Before trying the update again please run the  HP Support Assistant   to aid with HP updates?
    Once that has be accomplished here is a link to Updating Windows 8 to 8.1 to help you with the Windows 8.1 update.
    If you do not want the Norton as you have Webroot you can uninstall the program.
    Good Luck!

  • How do I get my numbers spreadsheet changes to automatically update idisk version to use on macbook and vice versa without manually doing it?

    I am a relatively new APPLE type of guy.
    I have a fancy new MACBOOK Pro and a fancy new IPHONE.
    I've left the Micosoft world and have decided to embrace iWork.
    Was happy to see app release of iwork for iphone - purchased it - and even though spreadsheets on a tiny phone are a bit tough to get used to - i've decided to keep track of my gym work outs on the phone.
    So I set up a work-out spreadsheet on my mac - threw it it idisk - and sucked it into numbers on the phone.
    So far so good.
    Can't seem to figure out though how to have my iphone and mac syncing with any changes to the spreadsheet i make at either end.  I have a copy on idisk - and when i save a change on the macbook the change is made to the idisk file - cool - but i can't figure out how when i'm at the gym entering new data - to have that info automatically updating the idisk version.
    any ideas?
    or am I just a dumb jock thinking that all of this is actually possible with out me continually bringing in new versions of the spreadsheet from idisk into the numbers version on the iphone?
    thanks in advance

  • HT1338 os x 10.5.4, update search, updates to 10.5.8, downloads, restarts, freezes during configuration. i'm not a techie, please answer a fix for this layperson.

    after a software update search an update is found, it is downloaded, restarts computer, but during the configuration it freezed at about 15% done. how can i update? i'm a non-techie.

    Some general advice on updating Leopard:
    It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
    The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
    More information on using Software Updater here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious! In fact a second restart can be recommended.
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a week or two while you regularly check their websites for updates.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
    Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
    [b]If you are updating Safari (or just have):[/b]
    Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up.  If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very [i]first[/i] thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
    Additional tips on software installation here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for  problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    /Library/InputManagers
    ~/Library/InputManagers

  • Turn off automatic update of Firefox on Gnome 3, Fedora 15

    On Fedora 15, using Gnome 3, I am unable to turn off automatic updates for Firefox, I am only able to turn off auto updates for Add-ons and Search Engines.

    Possibly you have obtained a modified version of Firefox. Preferences, chrome, js or whatever may have been modified.
    If work requires you to develop on certain versions, and you are doing some of that on this computer, why not install multiple copies of Firefox, including the required versions. I trust the required versions will be the currently supported versions; at the moment that is 3.6, 6, 7, 8 or 9
    You should ensure you use multiple profiles so each has a unique profile.
    For the current problematic firefox 6 do a clean install, deleting the original program files, but not the profile files. (or possibly an additional install in a custom location with a new profile - allowing you to retain the current firefox 6, and a standard firefox 6) Profiles may be cloned/copied if required, bookmark libraries may be accessed from other versions/profiles if necessary, and multiple versions can be run concurrently. ( I talk from a Windows perspective, but it is unlikely Linux is going to differ)

  • "are you sure?" message scares me but think I need automatic update.

    Hello forum Im new here and about 10 of my questions have been answered by searching. However I have not found an answer to this one:
    I paid for a music video from itunes, but I cant click and drag to my ipod. I saw another question like this and someone said turn on automatic updates. However, I spent alot of time putting music into my ipod manually and stuff. And when I click on automatic it says that it is going to REPLACE CURRENT CONTENT WITH STUFF IN LIBRARY. WHile that "might" help my one video to get on the iPod I think it might undo my work at getting my music how it is.
    So are we saying the only way to get videos you paid for within itunes to the iPod is by enabling automatic updates? Cause right now I go to preferences and all the video selections are greyed out. What the heck?
    thanks if you know

    And when I click on automatic it says that it is going to REPLACE CURRENT CONTENT WITH STUFF IN LIBRARY. WHile that "might" help my one video to get on the iPod I think it might undo my work at getting my music how it is.
    This simply means everything on the iPod willbe deleted and replaced with what is in your current iTunes library.
    Since it is your library and your iPod, nothing is going to be replaced as everything is already in your library and in your iTunes.
    This message pops up when you have it set to Manual update and change it back to Auto or when you connect it to a new computer for the first time.
    Again, since you already have the songs/videos on your iPod and in iTunes, not much will be different.
