Disable AIR 2.6 updates

Hi all,
how would i go about disabling auto-updates for AIR 2.6
is it possible to disable auto-updates in the Registry?
I have also read that placing a "file" in the Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\AIR will disable the auto-updates.
I am aware that there is an Adobe Air Settings manager which will allow you to disable auto-updates, however, I need to deploy Adobe AIR to users silently in our organisation.
Many thanks,
Jay.

Hi Chris, thanks for the reply.
I would like to disable the updates via the registry. However, I do not have the key called AIR in the registry path you mention, even after installing Adobe Air.
Would the updates still be disabled if i was to create the key and required DWORD myself [which will be done with a script]?
Also, how am i able to check if updates are enabled or disabled after making the necessary registry changes without using the Adobe Air Settings Manager?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\"AIR"\UpdateDisabled to 1
thanks again Chris,
Jay.

Adobe Air runtime auto-update

Adobe Air runtime auto-updates itself without any notification or request on my Mac OSX 10.6.7 machine. I do not like this behavior. Is there any way to change it?

Please see our Disable automatic updates of the runtime document. However, please be aware that our updates include both new functionality and bug and security fixes. I'd definitely recommend keeping an eye out for future releases and manually installing if you disable the updates.
Thanks,
Chris

Hello, my mac book air won't update. Every time i try it goes onto the purple starry screen and stays that way for hours, so i just have to shut it down. I have deleted a lot on my laptop so there is enough space, please help?

I believe that system has a hall sensor on it to detect when the lid is closed so it can put the system to sleep and/or disable the monitor so it can be used with an external monitor only. If the sensor is marginal or has a bad cable, it may intermittently cut the monitor on and off, and may likewise put the system to sleep. One way to check would be to plug in an external monitor and if the laptop's screen cuts off or doesn't show up, start using the trackpad and press on a non-typing key like the shift key. If the external display suddenly pops and becomes active while the laptop display remains black, it's probably a problem with the sensor or the cable/connection. You might be able to fool the sensor into kicking on and off by moving a magnet over it. It's located on the left had side of the base with the unit opened up, and right over the audio output plug.
I know of some people that put a small magnet right over the hall sensor's location so the laptop display turns off and they use the system with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. If fooling with magnets, make sure they're small and don't get them close to the hard drive because a strong magnet can wipe them out.
I don't know if this will help you much, but it might.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
It is possible that you clicked "Block Images" in the right click context menu while trying to save an image.
Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions
See [[Options window - Content panel]]
*A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (Site Identification icon) on the left side of the location bar.
*A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Open the Media tab of the "Page Info" window.
*Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Disabling the Check for Update feature in 10.1.3

Hi,
I work at a government facility that has tight security restrictions regarding downloading software. We are about to prepare a software delivery package for JDeveloper 10.1.3 that will let our IT department install JDeveloper on all of our developer workstations. One thing we would like to do as part of this deployment package is to disable the Check for Updates and PlugIn feature of JDeveloper. Is there a setting in a configuration file that controls this menu item?
Thanks,
Richard

Hi,
Is the requirement to disable the check for updates feature altogether (i.e. remove the menu item), or to just disable the automatic check that happens on startup?
There isn't currently a documented way to totally disable the feature altogether, however it's possible to add such a feature in a future service update if necessary.
There is a potential way in which you can modify the behavior of the wizard such that it will always find no updates (the menu item will still be present, however). If this is an acceptable solution to you, let me know and I'll fill you in on the details.
Thanks,
Brian

Adobe AIR 1.5 Update success unclear

After installing the Adobe AIR 1.5 Update for Fireworks CS4
on my Mac OS X 10.5.6 machine, the installed version of Fireworks
is still set at 10.0.0.495. This version string appears in the both
the About box and in the Finder Get Info window, despite the fact
that the installer window displayed that it was installing Adobe
Fireworks CS4 10.0.1.
How can I determine that the install worked?
As a sidenote, I find the entire installer to be very
non-intuitive to use for a Mac user: the installer does not use the
standard Mac install process, the installer is named "Setup.app"
with no indication what it is, the installer script is hard coded
to look for an application folder named "Adobe Fireworks CS4"
(which breaks if you've renamed the folder), the user is prompted
for a password before being told what it is doing, multiple
applications launch as part of the install process resulting in two
applications named Setup appearing in the Dock, the Quit option in
the application menu bar is greyed out and the quit button is
labelled "Exit". Things like this impact perceived quality of
product.

The update will not affect the splash screen or About Page
version number.
For a quick check you can try creating an AIR package or an
AIR preview. If everything works smooth then the installation would
have been a success.
The other details related to installation on a Mac should be
seen on all other Adobe app and not restricted to Fireworks alone.
Thanks

How to setup air help auto-update

RH8 HTML.
Im fiddling around with the AIR Help file and trying to get the auto update working.
So far I have the comments syncing perfectly across users with a shared folder on our network.
I'm now publishing the air file to a shared folder again where everyone can get the file and where the update.xml file is sitting.
so I have this looking structure.
\\networkdrive\Adobe_AIR\Generic_AIR\AdobeAIRApplication\Help File.air
\\networkdrive\Adobe_AIR\Generic_AIR\AdobeAIRApplication\Help_Update.xml
I set everything in RH Air output to publish to these folders, and I can see the newest files each time I do, I change the version numbers from 1.28 to 1.29, and this is reflected in the update.xml file where the version number has changed.
but when I go into the actual instaleld 1.28 version and use the Check Now feature to look for the latest 1.29 which has over written the 1.28 files in the shared folder, it finds nothing.
I cant find any way to manually point to where the update should be found.....do the update files have to sit in the same install directory or something? How does this work....aarrrgghhh
Is there another things I'm not doing?
Thanks.

Hi Nick
Good to hear that you are looking into AIR and Comment syncing is working fine.
Regarding the AIR auto update feature, you need to do the following
While generating the AIR file, you need to specify the update XML file location in AIR Help SSL generation option shown in the image below.
Now install this AIR file, and update the update.xml file and new version of AIR file, and it should work fine.
So the point is the installed air file need to know where to look for the update.xml file, it can be shared folder or a website.
Hope this will help you.

Authenticating AIR application auto-update

Hi, I'm building documentation for my desktop-product with RH8 and AIR SSL auto-update functionality. It looks like I need to expose any revision of my documentation on Internet for the auto-update. My company does not want to expose it freely since it is intellecual property. Is there a way to protect the revision with some authentication that would work with the AIR auto-update mechanism? Thanks in advance.
--dh

Same situation like ours! :-)
If your documentation on the internet is accessed using "https", then that's the link that will be used for auto-updating and thus an authentication box will be displayed anytime a request for an update is made.
Good luck.

RoboHelp's air installers no longer install with AIR 4.0 update?

Has anyone else encountered this issue?
After updating to AIR 4.0.0.1390, our RH air help installers no longer work. This includes .air help from 2 - 3 years ago, which have installed fine all these years, all the way up to a recent .air file we created for an upcoming release. This problem occurs on both Mac and Win, with the US version of AIR and the Chinese version of AIR, and it's a critical problem for us. Now when you double-click the .air file to install the help, you get this message:
"Sorry, an error has occurred. The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author."
Well, the application author is us. But this isn't a problem that we can fix, because it happened with the AIR 4.0 update.
Version 3.8 of AIR works fine. Version 3.9 broke our context-sensitive help on the Mac (bug 3648177, filed in Oct, not that it did us any good). Now version 4.0 has broken our air help completely. We are transitioning to HTML5 help but not quickly enough, it seems.
Can anyone confirm that the same thing happens?
Thank you,
Alexandra

Here is the current status of this problem. I am going into detail in case this helps anyone else in a similar situation.
Five years ago, I created my first AIR help file and I used a self-signed certificate without a timestamp. Had I read Peter Grainge's info, I would have used a timestamp, but Adobe's help says "Select to include a timestamp on the digital certificate. The timestamp provides information on how long the certificate is valid." Since I thought the certificate would always be valid, I didn't know this was important.
Fast forward five years. I've created many, many .air help files in many languages, all using the same certificate that I originally created. Thousands of customers have these help files installed, and their certificates have all expired. No one can install or reinstall these help files now.
Our installer engineer worked hard to find a way to extend the certificates. However, it appears that even though I have the latest version of AIR (4.0) on my system, RoboHelp *may* be using AIR 1.5 to create the .air files, even in RH 11 (this is not confirmed by Adobe but in the output, the HelpViewer-app.xml file indicates that this is true). This is important, because apparently AIR certificates after AIR 1.5.3 have a grace period which allows them to be extended. Certificates from AIR earlier than that cannot be extended.
I can create new output with a new certificate and a timestamp (I have archives of all my help projects). But, the new certificate and timestamp causes AIR to treat the updated help as if it were new help. It won't install automatically over the old help, and our context-sensitive help is broken.Our engineer tried hard to find a way to prevent the updated help with the new certificate to be treated as a new help, but he says that for older versions of AIR (like 1.5), the "publisher ID" is not separate from the certificate. A new publisher ID is required with a new certificate.
This is a bad situation, to say the least.
Vikas has tried to help but what we were able to determine is that my context-sensitive help is functioning properly. I know this anyway, because when the engineer updates the publisher ID for our software to connect to the updated help, all works as expected. But we are not going to re-issue previous versions of our software so that the context-sensitive help functions correctly. All customers with older help who need to reinstall it for any reason, will no longer have context-sensitive help.
I am still hoping to learn something from an Adobe engineer that will help us be able to re-issue our help and have it not be viewed as a different help installation, or extend our certificates. Vikas does not have this information, though I appreciate that he tried to assist us.
In my research on this, I also found one person who used a certified, signed, certificate and had it expire after five years. And someone else who used a timestamp but still had the help expire. On the AIR support site, it definitely states that self-signed certificates expire after five years - now I know this. But not a word about this in RoboHelp help.
In hindsight, I am sorry that I created my help files with AIR.

MacBook Air SMC Firmware Update v2.0 update available again and again. How do I fix it?

I have installed MacBook Air SMC Firmware Update v2.0 three times and I still get an update available notification asking to install it again. This is a mid-13 MacBook Air running OSX 10.9.3. System info lists the SMC version as 2.13f7.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

Hi,
- Are there any status or error messages in /var/log/install.log
- The Firmware version it should install is 2.12f137
- If there isn't anything in the log try:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
and/or About NVRAM and PRAM
and check whether there is installation.
If no install, try OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode
then reboot normal, try the install again.
Hope this helps

How to disable air play on Iphone 5s so I can use fire/HDMI adaptor to see on TV

If I upgrade to Mountian Lion on my iMac, will my Macbook Air get the update free of charge?

I have an iMac and a Macbook Air. Both are running Snow Leopard 1.6.8. If I upgrade my iMac, will my Macbook Air get the update free of charge from the Mac App Store? Is it similar to buying an app on one iDevice and getting it free of charge on another iDevice with the same iTunes account?

Yes, indeed it is the same. But you must use the EXACT SAME Apple ID account on both machines for the Upgrade.
Hope this helps
