Chrome 15/16, and IE8/9 Now Auto-updating

Hello --
I'm curious if/when Adobe will be updating BrowserLabs to include rendering with Chrome 15 and 16.  Also, what patch levels are the IE8/IE9 rendering engines at?  Microsoft now has auto-updating enabled in IE8/IE9 so updates are more frequent and automatic. I'm noticing that the results I'm seeing on BrowserLabs don't match what I'm seeing in my desktop versions of these browsers.
Thanks in advance,
Carlos Abreu

Yep. You are definitely having trouble keeping pace.
And not simply because the open-source-based Browser developers have a rapid deployment cycle.  Microsoft does not have that same cycle - and neither does Apple.  And yet Adobe isn't even keeping pace w/ the tweaks that they release for their current Browser versions.
Case in point IE 8 is displaying incorrectly in Browser Lab while it displays correctly in the actual Browser.  I only discovered this after 2 days of CSS tweaks to figure out why come CSS3 was not showing up in ABL. (developing on a Mac) THen by random chance I happened to log into a Win Box that had IE8 installed and confusion set in for a minute when I realized the CSS had ben working correctly the entire time and that ABL was in fact in error.
IF you are going to have a product such as this - it would be in your best interest to put noticeably more focus into it - as your biggest audience is going to be developers that need to be able to keep pace w/ the correct implementations of the given Browser Versions - otherwsie - it's a waste of a product and developer time to use it.
Get real - IE 8 has been out for a while now - if you can't keep up w/ the once in a while tweaks that Microsoft puts out for that specific version - why the hell have it available ?
Please do not let this slip into the gutter the way the DW Dev Team allowed the Spry Framework to do.  I am getting to the point where I only use Adobe products anymore because I have no alternative (like InDesign) or because there is lack of a better option (like PS or DW).  (yes - there are alternatives out there but they are garbage and Adobe's product development in the past few years reeks of too much ego because you all know there are less favorable alternatives.  Point is you are getting sloppy.
And Mark no offense - but your explaination does not cut it bud.  All I read in that is PR spin.  You guys are at the top in the industry - you should be pushing and setting the standard not making excuses as to why you can't keep up w/ the standard.

  • My firefox recently updated. Now my pop mail server won't work. I did a 'restore' to last week, and it was fine. It has now auto updated. No mail server.

    I have read through several responses to others who are having problems following an update. I am not computer savvy enough to understand half of the recommended 'solutions'. I need clear and definitive instructions of what to do. (Instruction for 'dummies' is what I need.) I can not 'restore' my computer continuously, only to have the auto updates cause the pop mail server to stop working each time. If there is nothing I can do, I guess I will have to stop using Mozilla Firefox. Can you help?

    There is no solution for Firefox and POP. Firefox doesn't do email and has no need for a POP email server.
    If you are using Firefox to view and send "email", you are accessing a webmail service provider.

  • Windows and dialogs, when resizing, auto-update UI?

    How do you allow the ui to keep being updated as you resize a window or dialog? I keep seeing the border move, then when I stop it updates the UI. I know its faster, but I was just curious of the other could be done?
    Thanks.

    Thanks. It works, but definitely noticeably slow. Even on a PIV1.8Ghz with 1GB memory I see that it doesn't update very smoothly. It seems if I move the pane slowly it will update alright, but if I move it even partly fast, it doesn't refresh until the move is done. Definitely shows the slowness of swing compared to native.

  • What is going on with all the ads lately? I do not have this problem with Chrome or IE and I have done the update.

    I've been a big fan of what you guys are doing for a long time but can not stand using the browser lately due to the pop ups everywhere. It makes me question the whole "Proudly Non-Profit" thing.

    Do you have the pop-up blocker enabled?
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Content
    Is there any pattern to the ads?
    In case it's a rogue add-on, could you disable all nonessential extensions here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
    After restarting Firefox, do you notice any different in the number or type of pop-ups?

  • Auto update to 10.6.8 and now mail is not working

    My grandfathers computer just ran an auto update to OS X version 10.6.8.  Now when I go to open mail it says it can not run with this version.   Mail version is 4.5.

    I had similar problems and I always avoid auto-updates.
    If the original Snow Leopard works boot from the DVD and erase zeroing the whole Machine after a User Folder BackUP with Carbon Copy Cloner
    If the DVD doesn't work or the DVD reader in the machine is dead.
    Find a SL install copy a drive or a pendrive
    1 Install snow Leopard from any Snow Leopard DVD in a hard drive or a pan without systems including Rosetta and Qtime 7
    2 Download the 10.6.8 Combo package from Apple
    3 Upgrade the new installed system in your drive or pen
    4 Use Carbon Copy Cloner to back up "ONLY" the user folder with the various foders
    5 Boot the computer from your Drive or Pen erase zeroing the whole machine it will take time but just erasing is never enough as a lot of dangerous stuff hides there,
    6 With Carbon Copy duplicate the newly installed system in your GranPa computer or using the original disk and the COMBO upgrade
    7 Back up the various files, pictures with CCC in the machine
    This takes time but it works usually.

  • We are trying to package our iTunes Windows and we can't stop the auto update feature.  How can we do this?

    We have consultants here packaging many of our Apps for deployment with Windows 7.  We cannot find a way to turn off the auto update feature within iTunes for Windows.  Has someone been successful in packaging iTunes for Windows and NOT do the auto update piece?

    The Apple advice revolves around the editing the registry:

    ... but it's beyond my competence to advise how to work that particular registry edit into a deployment, I'm afraid.

  • Installation issues with JRE, Auto Update, win 2008 and terminal services

    Hello,
    We have seven Windows 2008 servers running Terminal Services in one TS farm. I have approximately 600 users accessing these servers. We have a need for the Java JRE. The JRE is to be installed on each of the seven servers since the user has no input into which server they log on to (round robin / load balancing)
    There are several issues that have occurred with this installation. I install the JRE on each of the servers when there is no one logged on. I turn off both of the update features while installing as administrator. When the users log on, however they are at some point prompted for an admin password to update Java. The users have no need to update java as all updates will be performed by the system admin. Additionally, when the user runs any app that uses the Java plug-in, they get a folder put on their desktop labeled Sun.
    Are there special instructions for installing Java when using Terminal Services and Windows 2008? As you can well see, 600 calls to the help desk asking about this update popup is not productive and accessing 600 users accounts and turning off the auto update on an individual basis is not practical. The user cannot disable this update anyway. They options are grayed out at the user level.
    If this is not the proper forum to ask these question, please forward this message to the proper department or let me know who I should/could contact to resolve these issues.
    Best regards,
    Bob

    I mean to only explain 1 enviornment. We have a windows 2008 terminal server. It has JRE 1.6.0_07 (32bit) install on it. The users use this server for Office Apps and to Access our software which is web based and requires a JRE to be able to work.
    When the users login the terminal server picks up there local timezone from the machine they are logging in from and apply's it to there terminal server session. The problem is when the jre is launched it is picking up the server timezone, not the timezone from the users session(which is different).
    Does this clarify it?Nope.
    Either the user is running the jre or the server is. Or maybe both. Seems like all of those are possible from your explanation.
    It doesn't matter what the jre is running. What matters is who runs the jre.
    Best I can suppose your situation is as follows.
    - The server, not a user, is running a jre with one or more applications.
    - The users use something, probably a browser, to access that server app (it doesn't even matter that it is java in terms of what the users are doing.)
    If and only if that is your situation then you MUST pass information from the browser session to the server (java or anything else for that matter) and you MUST use that information in the server code to display time information.

  • X200 auto-update BIOS upgrade failed? system no longer boots

    Hi,
    I've had an X200 for around 7 months now and just did an auto-update earlier today. One of the items was a BIOS update, so I thought what the heck, it should be fine, always has been before. The update completed correctly and shuw down for reboot as planned.
    The system now no longer boots. Nothing at all happens. When I press the power button, no matter whether with AC supply or on battery, the following happens:
    - num lock, caps lock, HDD and 'power on' lights light up for a second or so then go off again
    - they come back on again for another second, and off again
    - then only the bluetooth light and the 'power on' light remain lit, and nothing else happens
    It seems pretty fried to me. What can I do? I'm in severe despair! :'(
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Phil

    Hans;
    Thank you for the reply.  Say hiya to Amelia for me.  Does this mean you're an alien?
    Ok, I tried using bootable CD and no go.
    I don't really have a simpler graphics card around to try that.  So that test may not happen.
    I can try with one dimm when I get home (I'm at work atm.)
    I also thought about putting the drive into another system and will try that also later today or tomorrow morning.
    D-Bracket:  I will have to watch that again.  It really didn't make sense to me as the lights went through a lot of the steps then came to a halt at what I think was BIOS Sign on.  Someone did suggest to me that I might have a virus, which may be why the second hard drive failed eventually.  But I'm not sure about that and not sure what can be done about that unless clearing CMOS would take care of it.
    So, any new thoughts?

  • Disabling auto-update doesn't work

    I need to stop at Firefox 14 for now, and need to prevent auto-updates.
    In Firefox 14.0.1 when I disable auto-update by setting 'never check for updates', and/or use about:config to clear 'app.update.url', both settings are ignored. When I close and re-open Firefox, auto-update is again enabled, and the update URL is again set.
    Recommendations?

    As it turns out, it's not a matter of 'preferences not being saved'.
    It's Firefox spontaneously changing my preferences at start-time.
    I've been testing; here's what i discover.
    1. I install FF14, start it the first time, and disable auto-update (via Tools/Options/Advanced)
    At this point - prefs.js in my profile now starts with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    2. now I exit FF.
    prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    3. i restart FF (#1)
    prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    4. i close FF
    prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    5. I restart FF (#2)
    NOW prefs.js has dropped those 2 initial lines, and starts with user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.addon-........etc
    Firefox is spontaneously changing my prefs.js.
    Before this series of tests I adjusted the prefs.js in all other profiles in this XPSP3 machine to start with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    This is obnoxious.
    I expect better from Mozilla.
    Suggestions?

  • Auto updating in Numbers

    Can any one say if its possible to set "auto updating" in Numbers 09" ?
    I've recently imported a document from appleworks which had this facility but cannot find it in the new
    app.
    If it can be done -How?
    Alan

    Hi Alan,
    I don't recall having used this option in an AppleWorks spreadsheet document (or data base document).
    I know that AppleWorks supported inserting a fixed or auto-updating date into a word processing document or into a text frame in a spreadsheet, but that menu item was not available in the AW spreadsheet's Edit menu.
    You can insert the current date into any cell in a Numbers table using Edit > Insert Date and Time, or by pressing shift-option-command-D. Despite what the menu item implies, this inserts the current date, but with the time set to 0:00 (midnight). This is a Fixed date entry; trhe value will not change until you replace it.
    AppleWorks spreadsheets and Numbers tables both support the NOW() function, which returns the current date and time value. This will display the current date if the cell is formatted to show a date (AppleWorks) or to show Date and Time, with the Time format set to None, in Numbers. The values will update each time the table is recalculated (ie. every time a value is changed in any cell).
    And, as Jerry notes, auto-updating dates update as soon as the document is opened, without waiting for the user to check the previous value. You may find inserting a fixed date more useful.

    Barry
