CS3 Automatic Updates

How do I verify that automatic updates are set for all of the applications in my Web Design CS3?

Is the updater installed automatically when you install the suite or do i need to make sure it is added to each application?

InDesign CS3 incompatible with XP SP3, which will soon be an automatic update

A couple of months ago, after I had instability problems, I was advised by Adobe Support that Windows XP Service Pack 3, which I had installed, was not recommended for use with InDesign CS3. I am advised today that this is still the case.
This is now a critical situation for the many people who use Indesign CS3 with Windows XP. ComputerWorld reports this week that Microsoft has said that the SP3 upgrade will "shortly" no longer be optional, but will be forced on people as an automatic update.
I discussed this with Adobe Support today and was advised that I could turn off automatic Microsoft updates via the XP control panel. Well I knew that, but it is not a good option because it will turn off automatic updates of other important elements, such as security fixes.
This is a most unsatisfactory situation and Adobe has had plenty of time to sort it out. We need to know when a patch will be available and there should also be a system whereby Adobe can advise XP users when the patch comes available. And Adobe needs to get it's act together urgently, to produce the fix.

Matthew - if you see no problem with the XP SP3/Indesign CS3 combination, why don't you tell your phone support people?
When I had my original problems, a large book design file was continually freezing. When I rang support (Asia-Pacific), I was told unequivocally that CS3 should not be used with XP SP3.
I rolled back my service pack upgrade and still had problems, so the problem may well have been some corruption that had entered my InDesign file.
However, with that book awkwardly cobbled together and out of the way, last week I rang Adobe support again, to see if any of the recent CS3 updates had made InDesign CS3 compatible with SP3 and again was told it wasn't. Their documentation said it was OK with XP SP2 and Vista, but not SP3.
This needs to be properly sorted out.

Working on Windows 7, ran automatic updates recently, now Photoshop CS5 not working

Hi there. I recently got a new laptop with Windows 7. I installed PS CS5 and have been using it with no problems until I ran automatic updates the day before yesterday, now my PS CS5 ACTS like it's open but really isn't. I can't view the screen, see any files, open anything from Bridge, etc. But when I go to shut down the computer, it tells me PS is running. I can shut it down in Task Manager but otherwise, I can't see that it's open. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled and the problem still happens. Any ideas? Did some service pack wipe out my ability to view PS? Bridge opens just fine, as does Lightroom. Any ideas? I'm a professional photographer and this totally has affected my workflow!! Please help. By the way, I can open PS CS3.

Don't ever allow windows to run updates in the auto mode. Change it to where you can run the updater but choose what you want to update. Video card drivers are the worst offender in auto-update. You never know what hits you until the update is done.
You can also do a system restore too. Go back to a date before the updates. Then see if that works. Then go into windows update and change it from auto to manual so you can choose the updates. Stay away from the video card update.
You can go to www.amd.com and look for your crad drivers. Some laptops allow AMD to publish updated driver and some don't. Since you did put the name of the laptop in your post it is best for you to go there and look. The drivers will be mobility drivers. Download the 10.8 mobility driver package.
If you find the drivers download them to your desk top. A download icon will be made. Click on that Icon to download the software. This new icon is the actual software.
Right click on that icon, choose properties, general tab. There should be something about unlocking the file below. Click to unlock then hit apply. Then choose compatibility tab, put a check mark in run as Admin, hit apply, then ok to close. Some people don't do this step but I do to ensure the proper security levels are met (but not needed to do so your choice).
Click on the icon again to install software. when you come to a screen with the option to install/uninstall the software, choose uninstall. Let it run its course. The screen will flicker and you will see the screen go away and come back bigger (no drivers). When done reboot computer.
Click on that icon again but now you want to choose install software. Let it run its course. The screen will flicker and screen will go away and come back.
Reboot computer.
Hope the drivers work. If they don't go back to system restore and choose a point where you had the good drivers and CS5 worked.

Acrobat 8.1 fails to open after automatic update

I installed CS3 a month ago and everything worked well until last week after an automatic update to Acrobat was installed. Since then, whenever I try to open Acrobat, I get the windows error "Adobe Acrobat 8.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close..." I tried to download and install the latest update but that didn't fix the problem.
Also, I tried to report it to Adobe online but never got a response and now I can't find where I reported it to see what the status is.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Still failing to launch after repairing permissions and restart.
Part of the report says:
AcroSecurityBailOutImpl
It has always opened the file when I try a second or third time, though.
It's just the first once or twice that it fails.

Acrobat automatic update 3/24/09

Well I am at my wits end with CS3.Really, I have had it. When I first installed CS3 and ran all the updates (like last year) I had a world of trouble, uninstalled, repaired, reinstalled, PDF maker wasn't coming up in other applications, Photoshop and Illustrator would open but you couldn't open any file, and on and on it went . I called Tech support and of course, since CS4 has come out, you have to PAY for support for CS3 Great :-(
I was told it was far easier to just start over and make a new User account (yes I am running Vista 32bit) which I did and viola, everything works. So I am told by tech support it would be far easier to just move my things over to the new user then to hunt and peck and try to find the problem. It was alot of work moving everything from one user to another, lost all my settings in other programs that I use, yada yada.
But basically all was fixed and all the programs in CS3 now work.
Well Monday I get an automatic update for Acrobat 8 Professional and like a STUPID FICKIN IDIOT I went ahead and installed the dam thing. I am now kicking myself all over this office.
you guessed it, now I can't get my PDF convertor to make any PDFs thru any of the applications (Word, Publisher, etc) Error message is that the port for the PDF printer is missing.
So I find a thread here and go in and uninstall Acrobat 8.l.4 that the update did and then reinstalled and GUESS WHAT HAPPENS.? Yup, totally screws up all the CS3 programs YET AGAIN. All the PDF converters disappear totally from the apps, can't open files in Photoshop or Illustrator.
I am BEYOND PISSED. it takes forever to uninstall this dam bloated goat of a software suite, and I have a stack of documents that I need to convert to PDF tonight.
You know, if I could get my hands on the SOMEONE from Adobe right now, I could wring their neck until their EYEBALLS pop out of their heads, because that is how PISSED I am.
IF ANYONE has any ideas please let me know.
Should I attempt to reinstall CS3 back into the same user or should I just make a new user account again.
Sincerely
Super Frustrated VERY ANTI ADOBE USER

One key for Adobe products is to install while logged in as the administrator. I do not know what your problem is, but I have no problem with AA8. It seems from past posts that there is an issue with the CS installations. For some reason several folks have had problems with Acrobat through that route, but I don't remember if there was a solution offered.

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

In Pages 5, how to get date to automatically update upon opening a template?

I'm using Pages 5.2. In prior versions of Appleworks and Pages I was able to construct and save a template in which the date would automatically update to the current date when the template was opened. I have tried "Insert Date" and I can click on that to update to current date, but I don't always remember to do that and therefore, some of my documents are dated several months prior.
Can't seem to find how to do it under Pages 5.2 Anyone have help or a work around?

I have the same problem.
What confuses me is that all the apple provided templates in pages seem to auto update their time and date upon opening.
So there MUST be a way to do it... although I've been unable to work out how...

Numbered lists in text boxes automatically updating

I have seperate text boxes that are involved in numbered lists, and I want to be able to reorder the text boxes so that they automatically update the numbers within them. How do I do this?! As you can see when I move the text box containing 2.0 numbered list, the following numbers do not update. How do I create this updating numbered list in seperate text boxes?

If you mean the text function in the drawing toolbar, it isn't possible.
You should use frames.

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.

I restarted my Firefox this morning and it automatically updated to version 9.0.1. Since that update, I am unable to open Firefox - it is giving no response.

I restarted my Firefox this morning and it automatically updated to version 9.0.1. Since that update, I am unable to open Firefox. When I try to open it (and this is on a Mac), it does not respond and freezes with a white screen, the tab says "connecting...," and there are no bookmarks or anything showing on the browser. It does not respond at all - I cannot even click into the navigation to change any of the preferences. Please, someone help! Not having Firefox is killing me!

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Installed itunes on another computer and need to turn off automatic update

I have itunes on my desktop at home and it is set to manually update my songs on my ipod (I have more songs on my 80GB ipod video than on my desktop). I am now traveling with a laptop and just installed itunes on my laptop. itunes won't let you turn off the automatic update setting until you plug your ipod into your computer. I am afraid to plug my laptop into my computer because it will automatically update the music (wipe out all my music on my ipod). Can I somehow turn off automatic update (switch to manual) before I plug my ipod into my laptop? Also, I know there is software that allows you to move the music from the ipod to the laptop, but I don't want to move all that music to the laptop. I want to continue updating my ipod manually on my laptop. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If you set the iPod to be manually managed on one computer, that setting will follow the iPod to any other computer you connect it to. However, even if you don't have the iPod set that way, when you connect the iPod to a foreign library, you'll receive an message in iTunes when it recognizes the iPod that the iPod is synced with another library, and you can click 'Cancel' and still get to the iPod's Summary page to put it into manual mode, without it changing any content on the iPod. If it makes you feel better, you can also click Edit and go to Preferences, click the Syncing tab, and select the option to "Disable automatic syncing for iPods & iPhones" prior to connecting your iPod.
Hope this is helpful

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?

After an automatic update, Firefox will start but immediately terminate. How can I fix this problem? I am sick and tired of manually un-installing Firefox!!

Since Firefox version 12, after Firefox automatically applies an update, Firefox will launch and immediately terminate.
The only solution is to manually un-install Firefox, completely clean the registry of Firefox entries, and manually re-install a previous version of Fiirefox that will work -- I use version 4.0. And then manually update that version to the current version.
I DO NOT install the new automatic update option -- that is, the automatic maintenance option.
BUT never the less, EVERY TIME I check for the latest version of Firefox using HELP --> About
Firefox, the UPDATE is AUTOMATICALLY RUN and FIREFOX WILL NOT WORK AGAIN.
I have put with this none sense for 18 versions of Firefox - MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!
Thanks, David Breed

You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u>:
*On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
*On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
Can you bring up the Profile Manager to create a new profile (possibly when starting in Safe Mode by holding down Shift)?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

Firefox did an automatic update to 6.01, and now my middle mouse button is not working in the browser. It doesn't close tabs, it doesn't open new tabs by middle clicking a link, it doesn't allow me to middle click to scroll the page...

[BUG FIXED, see "EDIT 2" at the end of my post]
I'm on Firefox 3.6.21, and I got this problem today after a Greasemonkey update (To version 0.9.10, apparently).
Disabling Greasemonkey solved the problem, and re-enabling it reproduced the problem (middle-clicking links to open in new tab did not work, merely highlighted the link).
I should also note that while Greasemonkey was enabled and the bug was affecting me, Ctrl+Click to open links in new tabs was also broken.
I hope this helps!
EDIT: It appears this is a known incompatibility/conflict bug between current versions of Greasemonkey and Tab Mix Plus. Read more here:
https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1406
EDIT 2: GREASEMONKEY HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED with a workaround to fix the problem. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ to install the update manually. It hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla yet, so it won't be an automatic update for another day or two. All credit to "cannonfodder" below for noticing this; please mark his post as helpful!
