Continue to get update dialog even when I have the latest version

I have been on the beta program for quite some time. Over the latest updates (probably at least since FF 4), I get a dialog box when I start FF telling me that an update is available even though I have the latest version. If I select the option to go ahead and do the update. It will hang forever; and not connect to the update server. I have reviewed several articles on this subject including this one [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly] . I have done an extensive search through my directories and cannot find an update folder, an update.xml, or active-update.xml file in any location, especially in the C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox directory or in the install directory. I have even attempted doing a clean install by uninstalling and completely removing the install directory. None of this has worked. I have noted in my search that others seem to have this problem as well. Additionally, I have this problem on both my work and home computers that are running Windows 7. However, I don't have this issue on my Mac. This is an annoyance; but has been going on for way too long and really needs to be addressed.

Your heading says Adobe Reader and the explanation below says Adobe Flash. Neither of these is shown in your System Details under Plug-ins. Is this the actual computer the question is about?
Incidentally, Firefox and Google Chrome are web browsers and not search engines. Google, Bing and Yahoo, for example are search engines.

The creative cloud dialog box that lists the applications, doesn't show LRCC

Log out of the CC desktop app, then log back in again. You should see it then.

Why does say"To play the selected item, you must install a later version of the Adobe Flash Player. To download the Adobe Flash Player, go to the Adobe website." when I have the latest Version of it and it's just Black screen with no audio and Video?

You asked your question on the wrong forum. Try one for the Flash Player

I have a ipod 3rd generation when i try to update it its says i have the latest version

i have a ipod 3rd generation when i try to update it its says i have the latest version

Look at the back of the iPod. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. The 2nd generation iPod touch is model A1288, and 3rd generation iPod touch is model A1318. If you have a second-generation iPod touch, the last release of iOS is can run is 4.2.1.

I cannot seem to update firefox. I keep getting asked to make sure I have the latest version.

I get a screen that comes up that says Firefox cannot be updated securely and it urges me to make sure I have the latest version of it. I have downloaded it three times and still get the message.

Most probably you also need to download Apple Java for OS X 2014-001

Why do I get a message that says something is preventing firefox to update correctly when I have the latest version and it is up to date.

Every now and then I will come back to my computer and see a message saying that something is preventing Firefox from updating correctly, am I sure that I have got the latest version.
Included in the message box is a link to www.firefox.com, when I click on the link I get a page with various downloads and a message saying that my Firefox is up to date.

This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder to remove the file(s) that cause the problem.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Hi - I've brought the new iphone 5 but can't download my music from my itunes account even though I have the latest version (10.7). All i can see is that my account is not showing the iphone 5 as a 'managed device' and i dont know how to get this added ?

Hi - I've brought my iphone 5 but cant seem to download my music from my itunes account onto it. I've downloaded the latest version of itunes as i heard this could be a problem but still no joy. The phone tries to sync when i plug it all in to the pc and even has the capacity bar showing about 12gb of audio but there is still nothing downloaded onto the phone.
The only thing i can see that might be causing the problem is that when i go into my itunes account it doesn't show that the iphone 5 is an option is the 'managed device' section but i dont know how i can add the new iphone 5 to this....
Can anyone please advise me on what to do ?
Many thanks !

You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. To make this your syncing computer:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities

My plugins don't work even though I have the latest version of adobe flash and java. )

I then click on the feature update plug ins it take me to the adobe site I down load the latest version of adobe flash only to run into the same problem over again. I've tried updating this feature both manual & auto but with no success.

Hi there
No need to get testy. Lilybiri was being spot on with the comparison.
The only solution for you will be to uninstall the Flash player, then locate an older version of the Flash player and install it on the Windows XP you have. Captivate is now at version 8 and several years have passed since version 1.1. You will likely not make 1.1 work with Windows 7 or Windows 8. In fact, the only way I'm aware to remotely make it work on those operating systems is by first ensuring you have the Professional or Ultimate version, then installing the Windows XP mode Virtual Machine.
Here is a link for uninstalling the Flash Player
And here is a link for the older versions
Sorry, but you are on your own to sort exactly how far back you will need to go to find a version of Flash Player that works with this version of Captivate. And keep in mind, that even though you finally get a Flash Player version that allows it to run, you will only be able to run it on some form of Windows XP. It will not run on Windows 7 or 8 unless you install the VM. And when you do that, you will be stuck inside the VM and will not be able to record anything outside it in the 7 or 8 environment.

Why do I keep getting notified that I am not on the latest version of Firefox when I have the latest version installed?

I have checked the version and found it is the latest. The message appears below the FireFox Start box.

I am seeing the same thing as you are. Its probably because that earlier Google homepage was used in earlier Firefox versions. So the page thinks that you are still using a previous version of Firefox.
Change the homepage to the following address:
* http://www.google.com/webhp?rls=ig
Check and tell if its working.

Need an iOS update, but it says i have the latest version, please help

I bought two ring tones on my iphone 3. When i tried to buy the third, it wouldnt download because it says i need an updated iOS, i went into itunes and both itunes and my iphone are up to date, at least, that's what it says. It is very frustrating and i wish i knew what to do. It says i am on iOS 4.3.5 and it wont update, it just says that it is the most recent update but my iphone is telling me to purchase anything that i need one.....help please!

thanks a bunch, it would make one **** of a lot of sense if they happened to be updating ringtones and such already considering it is only 10 pm where i live and they are probably a few hours ahead of me......i shall wait and see......

My address book is frozen in time machine even though I have the latest version of Lion.

I deleted some contacts, that looked like duplicates, on my iPad this morning. It deleted both cards, not just the duplicate. I have iCloud turned on and now I cannot restore the contacts, or in fact any previous version of my address book from Time Machine!

What is the exact message that you are getting? A screenshot, perhaps: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933

Deviantart keeps telling me to upgrade my firefox even though I have the latest version

I keep updating and same story.

Your UserAgent string in Firefox is probably messed up by another program that you installed. 
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter 
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.'' 
Filter = '''general.useragent.''' 
Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset'''''. 
Then restart Firefox
