Can't auto update applications

I have a problem with updating applications. When i confirm an application to update itself, it downloads the new version and tries to install and relaunch but fails and gives me "__ application does not have permissions to write to the applications directory! Are you running off a disk image...".
I am not running the application from disk image. I think it is related to permissions. Tried disk utility and repaired the permissions and it didn't help. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I'll guess that you're trying to update a third-party application. I don't believe a Disk Utility "repair permissions" operation will help you with such things.
I'd use the Finder menu function File -> Get Info to compare the ownership and permissions of the application that's giving you trouble with one that's not.
Other possibly-relevant issues: Are you running from an administrative account? Is it the only administrative account on the computer? Was it the account that was used to install that application?

Can I auto update the address book?

When I plug in the Touch the battery charges, but the apple address book does not update automatically? Anyway that it could?

Short answer - no.
Once you subscribe to a Podcast it will auto update automatically. If you don't want to get every show that's released, simply don't subscribe and donwload the shows you want.
I think an easier solution is just to change your iPod Prefrences so that only the podcasts you select are transferred to your iPod. This way you will have all your podcasts on your Mac and only the ones you choose on your iPod.

Hi,
You can schedule routines (jobs) to be run periodically using the job queue. For more details on creating jobs, here is the documentation link:

How can I auto-update all book file links after making a new copy of my project?

Using Indesign CC 2014,
Windows 7x64.
I've created a catalog, using a book file (.indb) which connects 20 Indesign files (.indd) together (so page numbering is continuous, etc).
Each of the 20 Indesign files all have numerous art asset links and cross references. In total, ~200 files are involved.
Once finished with the whole thing, I made a copy of the entire folder structure and placed it elsewhere, because I now need to create a modified version of this catalog project for a different company.
In the end I need to wind up with 2 different, but very similar catalogs.
Here's my problem: when I made the copy of the entire project and opened the copied over book file, I've found that it's still referencing the older 20 Indesign files back in the first folder structure.
It's not using the new stuff.
Same goes for all the art asset links inside each Indesign file.
Looks like absolute paths only.
What's the standard operation procedure here? What can I do to avoid having to manually re-link numerous art assets, etc?
Surely, this is a common need among Indesign users.

Hey, Peter!
I've delayed my response here.
Been dinking around, trying things.
That's a smart suggestion, but the Package command will round up all assets into a nice compact folder structure ready for production. It's not really what I need.
I need to keep things as they are, fully editable and unaltered - my folder structure is carefully crafted as is, and I definitely don't need all the fonts dumped into a folder.
Here's what I'm doing now - I make a complete new copy of the folder structure in question. It includes all InDesign files and linked artwork, etc. Everything.
I then CHANGE the name of root folder of the folder structure I initially copied. This breaks all the absolute paths of the copy.
Then I open each InDesign file and the CORRECT links are still automatically found because it looks inside the new folder structure I just made by creating the copy. So all links get "fixed".
Thank goodness InDesign is far more intelligent about finding missing links than Illustrator.
This is the best solution I've found. It's not perfect, but nothing ever is.

Disable auto-updates/Adobe Application Manager

there is no forum for this - I use Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 non-CC on macbook pro running 10.8.5 or 10.9.2. I would like to not have AAM search for updates in the background, but initiate the **search** for updates manually. The reason is that I live a bit off the grid and pay quite a lot per minute, and AAM kept the internet connection open the whole night, even though the browser said it was closed.
I only found instructions for CS5:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/disable-auto-updates-application-manager.html
does this work for CS6 the same way? I am by no means a system admin but I can replace this AdobeUpdaterPrefs.dat file. (and keep the original else where)
thanks.
edit: why on earth does adobe insist on displaying my real name in a public forum, when it even asks me to make a screen name first. There is no forum for this either, I guess.

... adobe insist on displaying my real name in a public forum...
that is gone, thanks.

Can't turn off auto update

I want to turn off automatic update notification for flash. I can get to the global notification setup page and uncheck the automatic update, but there doesn't appear to be any kind of save settings button or anything on that web page. So all I do is close Internet explorer after unchecking the autoupdate box. If I then reopen internet explorer and go back to the flash global notifications page, the check for updates box is checked. How do I shut it off???
Thanks,
Bob

Thanks, but the page you linked to, is the page I was using, and restarting
the computer makes no difference. I can uncheck auto update, but when I bring up the setting again, it is rechecked.
Any other suggestions? If it matters, I'm in windows xp sp3 single user, with admin rights on the account.
Thanks,
Bob

Making a jtable auto updates itself from a mysql table

Pretty much what the title says. How can i auto update the jtable for every time my mysql table is updated in anyway? i am implementing this auto update function in my admin program which displays a list of users who are online etc. from the moment a user is offline/online or changes other details displayed in my jtable, i want it to auto update the jtable as soon as the actual mysql table has been updated with new data...
I was thinking of re doing the whole jtable i made and create a thread for that table that has a infinite while loop that keeps repainting the jtable with the new updated data from a mysql table query eg select * from table and store the data into a resultset which then gets transferred into a vector. Load the vector into the jtbale and their ya go�.
what you think of this approach? Is their a better way to do this?
at the moment, as soon as my application opens, the jtable views all the data from my sql table, however if it doesnt auto updates itself, cheers

i am implementing this auto update
function in my admin program which displays a list of
users who are online etc. from the moment a user is
offline/online or changes other details displayed in
my jtable, i want it to auto update the jtable as
soon as the actual mysql table has been updated with
new data...Well you can make some changes to make implementation easy
Ex: Create a table to keep a log of the changes in the system the dmin program read the log and replicate the changes as specified in the log on the table model.
When reading the log the admin program keep track of the sequence no of the last read log entry and it reads ony the entries which has larger seq numbers than the last read seq no
I dont think that it is critical to make this to be cloase to real time. An Update once a 1 or 2 secs should be sufficient.

Stop auto updating of extension

I use the extension 'Tab Mix Plus' When they went to version 4.0.X , one of the functions was discontinued. I contacted them and they say there will be no change. I load an earlier version, but periodically it auto updates. I can reload it but this repeats. I have check the box for 'Check for updates, but let me choose...', but this does not work for updates of addons. Is there a manual way in 'about:config' that I can stop the auto update.

you can disable auto-updates for a individual extension in the add-on manager by right-clicking it, then go to show more information & select "automatic updates: off"

Auto-updates disabled in CS6 non-cloud the same way as in CS5/CC?

Hi,
is this procedure to deactivate auto-updates http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/disable-auto-updates-application-manager.html the same for CS6, non-cloud?
thanks.

yes it is. (and adobe's policy is to ignore non-cloud questions because this is the cloud forum, but there is no non-cloud forum, and the single program forums won't answer that kind of thing either. I did pay for this application.)

Auto-update iPod (with Podcasts)

Hello all,
I did use "Search" but couldn't find anything related so kindly point me to the source if this has been answered before. Thanks.
How can I auto-update my iPod with selected Podcasts ?
For example, how can I let iTunes (or a script??) copy the contents of a smart folder (containing the podcasts I am after) to the iPod folder.
All I want is to attach my iPod and have it updated automatically ...
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot for your help,
chris

If you subscribe to the podcasts inside iTunes, then the episodes will automatically load to the iPod. You can either subscribe to them through the store or directly from the podcaster's website by plugging their XML url into an iTunes' "Subscribe to podcast" command in the Advanced menu.

How can I set the insert date to auto update in Pages 5.2.2

how can I set the insert date to auto update in Pages 5.2.2
I am attempting to have the date in header auto update in a Pages file.
I can insert it, but where is the AUTO UPDATE selection
OS10.9.4
thank you

Apple never included the auto-update feature for dates in Pages v5.2.2. You would have to single-click the date, and deliberately update it.
If you have Pages ’09 v4.3 in /Applications/iWork '09, then it will allow you to configure auto-update of the date field. Right-click on the date, set the format, and click the selection for automatically update on open.

Best practice for auto update flex web applications

Hi all
is there a best practice for auto update flex web applications, much in the same way AIR applications have an auto update mechanism?
can you please point me to the right direction?
cheers
Yariv

Hey drkstr
I'm talking about a more complex mechanism that can handle updates to modules being loaded into the application ect...
I can always query the server for the verion and prevent loading from cach when a module needs to be updated
but I was hoping for something easy like the AIR auto update feature

Can't Stop Auto-Update

When I connect my BB Bold and startDesktop Manager, it automatically launches into auto-update: "Checking for device application updates...". If I click on "Cancel", it ignores me, but it doesn't hang. It eventually comes up with the message: "Updated versions... are available.. Blackberry 4.6 Core Applications". I am using 4.7 - So that doesn't make sense.
I have tried to disable Auto-Update by clicking on "Check for Updates" and un-checking "Check for Updates automatically". But that makes no difference. I have looked for and renamed Vendor.xml (per some suggestions) but cannot find a Web.xml file. Renaming Vendor.xml to _Vendor.xml (so I can undo the change) makes no difference.
Any more suggestions?
Sean

First off, your device does use the 4.6 software, even if the version of BlackBerry Desktop Manager is 4.7. There is no 4.7 OS for the Bold.
Second, the reason you're seeing this message is likely because you have the device software installed on your computer. Go to your computer's Control Panel, then Uninstall Programs (in Vista, it's under Programs & Features in Classic View). Remove any BlackBerry Device software you see (not the Desktop Manager, just the device software). Once this is done, restart your computer.
This should resolve the issue.

How to Enable Auto Update functionality in adobe AIR application?

Hi All,
     How to Enable Auto Update functionality in adobe AIR application and ask for new version to install to user.
     Please provide some informarion regarding above topic.
Thanks,
Sunil Rana

Hi All,,
Got solution. call checkUpdate() function in application level initialize event.
private function checkUpdate() : void
                appUpdater.updateURL = "http://www.aa.com/flex/aa/NativeUpdater.xml";
                appUpdater.addEventListener(UpdateEvent.INITIALIZED, updater_initializedHandler);
                //we can hide the dialog asking for permission for checking for a new update;
                //if you want to see it just leave the default value (or set true).
                appUpdater.isCheckForUpdateVisible = false;
                //we initialize the updater
                appUpdater.initialize();
             * Handler function for updater_initializedHandler events triggered by the ApplicationUpdater.INITIALIZED
             * @param updater_initializedHandler
            protected function updater_initializedHandler(event:UpdateEvent):void
                //initializeHandler();
                appUpdater.checkNow();
In NativeUpdater.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<update xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/1.0">
     <version>2.0</version>
      <url>http://www.aa.com/flex/aa/AutoUpdate.air</url>
     <description>
     <![CDATA[                 * This a Win update
      ]]>
      </description>
</update>
Upload NativeUpdater.xml file on your Server. When you open your old .air file it will ask for replace with new version.

Wouldn't apple check before releasing new version, I see so many people with same issue..its such a waste of time for everyone now to fix it.
Is there any other way to fix before I try to un-install everything and re-install back?
