Automatic updates don't save preferences

When Adobe CC automatically updates an application, I've noticed that it asks if I want to retain my current application preferences. I always click "Yes" because I don't want to go through setting everything up to my way of working every time CC updates.
Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to apply to Photoshop CC. Yesterday, I updated PS through the cloud and the installer asked if I wanted to retain my preferences. I clicked "yes". But Photoshop did NOT retain my preferences, nor did it retain my keyboard shortcuts or my customized layout. I had to go back in to PS and re-set everything I'd spent so much time setting up before the update.
Can anyone tell me why this is the case and when it will be fixed?

I don't remember seeing that as a question or option, nothing to allowed me use my CC 14.21 preferences or any prior version of Photoshop preferences for CC 2014 Preferences. I seem to remember only being asked If I wanted to migrate my Presets. Migrating one's presets can be done during installation or after installing using menu Edit>Presets. I did have the installer migrate my CC 14.2.1 presets but I had to change Adobes default Preferences the I don't like. I like to edit in Floating windows, not have windows to doc in tabs, Have more history states, a good general interposition default not Bicubic automatic, Show a different brush tip cursor then Adobe's default, also set my display dpi resolution etc. My loaded Actions, Layer styles, Pattern, shape etc were migrated.

IT admins need to update firefox installs in the organization, but we use security software to protect hard drives, so automatic updates don't work. Is there an UpdateFirefox.zip file?

We are using Centurion Smartshield to protect the hard drives on all PCs in our organization. This software reverts the state of all drives to a default setting with each reboot, so no updates will be retained. Also, staff do not have the permissions to install most software updates. The Centurion Smart Control Console provides a way to remotely execute updates, but they refer to an UpdateFirefox.zip file. I'm wondering if such a file is available from Firefox. I know updates are not provided in an MSI.

I commiserate.
I believe the heavy reliance on the javax.net.ssl.keyStore system property is just wrong. An applet-local key manager for client-certificates would be really helpful.
The current (1.4) plugin design includes its own certificate management ui (control panel). I feel this is wrong design. Why is there no upcall available from the applet framework into the host/browser's certificate management? The same sort of thing happened with the move from awt to swing. The not-invented-here mentality? What's next, a special java filesystem? :) Luckily applets are normally kept away from files, but with the impending service-oriented world, with certificates being passed about like Amoeba capabilities, better integration of the plugin with the host's security management is going to be a sore need.

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.

Oh - I see. I think this will be hard to do. You'd need to
get a local
certificate and all - not sure how to go about that....

I don't have an option for Power Nap in my Energy Saver preferences...is there a firmware update forthcoming?

So I have a Retina MacBook Pro. After installing Mountain Lion, I noticed that my email, calendars, notes, etc, are not updating when my Mac is asleep. There are currently no updates for my Mac available right now. I've seen people say that there is an option under the Energy Saver preferences that turns it on and off. Tried reseting PRAM.
Anyone else seeing this?

Yes, this requires a firmware update. Just sit tight and look for an update to pop up shortly.

How do I stop the new Pages from updating the old Pages? It is automatically updating, but I don't want it to because it's horrible!!!

I downloaded the new Pages, Keynote, and Numbers, but they're horrible so I deleted them. Now they keep trying to update my old iWorks. I don't want them they are horrible!!! It is automatically updating (I don't have it set to automatic update), so I have it paused, but I don't know how long that will last before they finish the update. Apple, what are you doing to your loyal customers? You are making inferior software and forcing it on us. Why?

Peter,
Luckily it had stopped trying to upgrade overnight, but your suggestion definitely helped. I checked in the System Preferences and, sure enough, I had the auto-upgrade checked for regular programs but not apps. So, it was doing what I told it, even though it wasn't what I wanted! I am very thankful that I get to stay with my Pages 4 for now. I love my Mac because it has always been so intuitive, searching for what I needed was fairly easy. Unfortunately, some of the new upgrades of late don't fit that bill. Pages 5 has some work to be done before I will feel comfortable switching. Thank you for your help!
Now, any idea why my Calendar has frozen with the message "Moving calendars to server account..." ever since I downloaded Maverick? I have had to do a force quit for the last two nights to get it to shut off so I can turn off my computer. The swirling candycane of death accompanies this message. I would be glad to undo whatever I have done....if I only knew what that was!

When ever i click a picture in photo booth it does not automatically update its content is this a bug or i don't know how to do it?

when ever i click a picture in photo booth it does not automatically update its content is this a bug or i don't know how to do it?
whenever you click a picture in photobooth you have to manually insert it one by one in iphoto
i want to know is there any other option in iphoto which can do this type of thing(adding pictures automatically to iphoto )
so that i do not have to do it manually

Once you take the photo with Photo Booth, select the photo in the tray at the bottom and click on the iPhoto button just abouve and to the left:
Click to view full size
That will import the photo into iPhoto automatically. But PB does not import any and all photo taken into iPhoto automatically. That choice is left to the user.

Most iPhoto '09 albums don't show up in the screen saver preferences

I just realised that most of my iPhoto '09 albums don't show up in the screen saver preferences... How can I make them visible again?

Bruce Etnyre has a more permanent fix over on the Using 10.5 forum:
You might try this. Go to the:
Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/ByHost folder
(where “yourusername” is the short name of your computer, like baumgarten - the folder looks like a house/home)
and move these files to the Trash:
com.apple.screensaver.XXXXX.plist
com.apple.screensaver.slideshow.XXXXX.plist
and this one, if you have it:
com.apple.iphotomosaic.XXXXX.plist
The XXXXX before the .plist is a hexadecimal string.

Since latest Firefox automatic update, any downloaded jpg is saved as a firefox file and I cannot save as a jpg. Why?? Help please!!

Since the latest FF automatic update - any jpg I send to myself I cannot save as a jpg. This is so frustrating. I use my camera phone to take shots of our library activities and then to make newsletters, website updates etc. Just started this week. Today is the first day I noticed this problem.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Today 7/28/10

You can rename the files and give them a .jpg file extension.
You can force that while saving the file if you add quotes around the name: "image.jpg"

The latest automatic update was accompanied by "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now". Having done this a few days ago a new Firefox update arrived with the same "request". Why and what do I need to do to stop this?

The latest automatic update (in March) was accompanied by "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now". Having done this a few days ago a new Firefox update arrived (today 7. March) with the same "request". Why does this happen and what can I do to stop it? Firefox 3.6.15 and Adobe flash player 10.1.82.76 are currently installed.

Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82 is not the latest version of Flash. '''r152''' is the latest.

Is Using the Automatic Update for Flash Player Safe? It is Installed In System Preferences On My Mac

Hello-
One day I noticed that there was an icon on my MacBook Pro of Adobe Flash on the last row of system Preferences. I had never seen it before, and I had ben using Flash for a long time and updating it regularly.
It recently told me there is a newer version. I did not let it install it because I am having so many problems with viewing Flash Videos on websites. I have a MacBook Pro, Mac OS X 10.6.8. I use Safari 5.1.5, the latest as far as I know.
In using this automatic updater for Flash (there are actually several tabs when I click the Adobe icon not just the updater) in the Advanced tab of the Flash Player icon are there any special things I should do if I click yes update? should I close all the windows, apps, Safari? do a restart? I am debating if I should do a Clean Install, wipe all Flash Player off the Mac and just install the latest version rather then letting the updater install the latest version, which I think is 11.2.202.228. I currently have 11.1.102.64 with a bunch of video issues.
Thanks for any assistance.

What has the Apple support team done to the Top Sites screen? I just accepted an automatic update to be downloaded to my iMAC, and as a result of this "fix installation" the layout of the Top Sites screen has been terribly "destroyed"! What's the idea?

If you are referring to the non-panorama , but rather the flat look, well that's what they did.

Automatic Save Preference

hello,
Have a small problem as we are now working from a server.
However, Illustrator has problems saving an opened file in the same place with same file name.
Think it's proberly down to automatic saving in a local computer causing problems. Is it possible for someone to tell me to locate the automatic save preference? As I remember with previous editions of Illustrator you were able to state how many automatic saves in a given time aka photoshop. Can't find it in Illustrator CS 3.
cheers me dears,
cas

There is no such thing in Illustrator.
Photoshop's history states are not saved versions. They are only present when the document is open. They are more like "undo's" than save states.
You're issue is that you are working across a server. Adobe has always suggested that users work locally then copy to a server. Never open and save from and to a server.

Firefox says the automatic update is done, but I am still running the old version.

My Firefox is set up to automatically update. When it asks, I say yes, it says it is done, but the new version isn't running. I t has done this many times and I'm still on Version 3.6. How do I get the updates to really work?

You are using the latest version which is Firefox 9.0.1
From your description it sounds as if you still have the old http://www.google.com/firefox Firefox start pages hosted by Google as your homepage. This old default homepage is no longer used as about:home has been in use since Firefox 4.0
Either ignore the message, change homepage to '''about:home''', change it to another page or leave blank.

Firefox 9.0 keeps downloading automatically, even though I unchecked the automatic update box. I don't want 9.0. How do I stop this?

I cannot use FF 9.0 on my work computer--it cannot connect to any site. FF 8.0 works great, and I want to keep it. But no matter how many times I uninstall 9.0 and re-install 8.0--UNchecking the box for automatic updated--9.0 keeps re-installing automatically after a day or two. How do I stop this?

Sorry, Swanarva, It didn't work as it was supposed to. I downloaded, saved file, clicked the download to open, clicked 'run' then got an error message that it couldn't find the file(!) . No idea what happened or why. Should I have uninstalled Firefox first, then downloaded Firefox 8 using another browser or downloaded, uninstalled Firefox 09 beta then tried installing Firefox 8?
At this rate, IE is looking good, despite its shortcomings.
