Disable QuickTime Player "check for updates"

We have Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 and QuickTime Player 7.7.1 installed. How can we need to disable "Check for Updates" for all users on a workstation?

  • No prompt to update when Flash Player Settings Manager is set to check for updates automatically

    My understading of http://forums.adobe.com/message/3562892#3562892 (March 2011) is that when an outdated version of the Player is used on Windows, the prompt to update should occur after the next restart of the operating system.
    So, when http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ in Safari for Windows shows an outdated version 10.x of the Player:
    I restart Windows
    I log on
    I wait a few minutes.
    Problem
    Usually, no matter how long I wait, there is no prompt to update; Flash Player Settings Manager continues to show an outdated plug-in alongside a greater version of the ActiveX item.
    I see this problem with multiple computers running Windows XP and Windows 7.
    Any suggestions?

    Flash Player checks for updates every 7 days. The NCP doesn’t change this.  Where the user in that post is getting confused is that only after Flash Player detected an update (on average 3.5 days after a new version is released), the dialog will appear after a restart.

  • Acrobat X Pro: Check for Updates Error 1007 Updates have been disabled by your system policy

    Because of another Acrobat problem (I won't go into here), today I uninstalled Acrobat Pro 10.1.9 and re-installed Acrobat 10.0.0. I thought I could get back to 10.1.9 by selecting "Check for Updates" after installation. My system is Win7x64 and I'm running as a named user with Administrator rights on a machine that is not part of domain.
    When I select "Check for Updates", I receive a window titled "Adobe Acrobat Updater" that says "Update failed Updates have been disabled by your system policy. Error: 1007 <Close>" About ten seconds later, Acrobat X terminates, leaving this window hanging around.
    What do I do to enable checking for updates?

    Thanks Bill@VT and LeoAdobeX. It's still not working though.
    Over the last few days, Windows System Restore says I have done 4 (four) Remove/Install Pairs. I tried the helpful cleaner you suggested. I knew I probably had some Acrobat9 cruft, so I ran the Acrobat9 and Reader9 cleaners, then the AcrobatX cleaner (I never had ReaderX). I also uninstalled absolutely every Adobe program from my system: Flash Player (three versions), iFilter, Adobe AIR, Amazon Music Importer (relies on Adobe AIR).
    I tried it both as 10.0.0, and installing 10.0.0 and then the 10.1.9 MSP you pointed me to at the "update link" above. I installed as "Trial" mostly, but once with my registration key.
    Starting up Acrobat X still fails epically. Also, every time I've looked, it hasn't solved the "other Acrobat problem" that initiated all of this.
    The most that I've received from Acrobat X today is the splash screen came up once. Only once. Even after a restart of Windows 7, launching AcrobatX from the Start Menu, Desktop or even directly from the EXE under "Program Files (x86) does nothing. I thought it might just be slow the last time, so I took a 15 minute coffee break after attempting to launch. Nothing.
    Ergo, I am looking at Windows System Restore. I miss two days of not being able to read PDF's even if the "other Acrobat problem" remains.
    However, I got a whiff that I have another problem headed my way. I bought update version of Acrobat9 and AcrobatX. I've now wiped all traces of Acrobat9 (and will shortly do another wipe of AcrobatX). The Cleaner log reports "** Info : Installed product not found for upgrade code". The MyAdobe website has all my install codes back to Acrobat4, but I'm not sure I could locate my Adobe 4 CDROM or the intervening CDROM's that would be required to source me back to a full version (maybe Acrobat6?).
    As I understand it, System Restore will do many things but not actually install the program files that I've been writing and deleting from my disk over the last two days. So, I'm going to have to do some install of AcrobatX after I do the System Restore and I now have little hope that even that installation will work to "just put things back the way they were".
    Is AcrobatX supported on Windows7x64 Ultimate? Is there some place to track down what may be the "issues due to the 64-bit system"?
    I have checked the policies under Control Panel->Administrator and there is more to check there. My account is a member of Administrators, which I would think would give me the rights to do just about anything, but when I click on the "Local Security Policy" shortcut, I get a "Group Policy Error: Failed to open the Group Policy Object on this computer. You may not have the appropriate rights. <Close> Details: Unspecified error". I'll chase this down if the System Restore does not make this error go away, but this part is clearly not a problem with Adobe software. All of the Other Admin/MMC Tools like Computer Management open fine.
    Thank you very much for the responses. I found them to be very helpful but I still feel I've got a big problem ahead.

  • 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

  • How to disable check for updates??

    I ve to package a ctrlPrint 5.0.2.33 plugin to adobe incopy CS3. After installing that plugin exe , in adobe incopy first window, plugin will add two tabs called ctrl and ctrlPrint if we press ctrl tab than there is a feature called check for updates and i have to disable this update so pls suggest me how to do it ?  no reg entry ,no update reg ,no xlm file for update is there.

    Hi,
    If you are referring to Help -> Check for Updates, I'm not certain if that is possible.
    If you mean Tools -> Preferences -> Extensions, just uncheck the Automatically Check for Updates box. Doing that is standard procedure for improving the tool's launch performance.

  • How to disable checking for updates for Shockwave plug-in?

    SOS: how can I disable checking for updates (and reporting
    that there is one) for a Shockwave object on a web page?
    I have a client with an older Shockwave version, and it's a
    royal pain for each user to be told there's a newer veriosn and do
    you want to download...
    Any help gratefully received.

    I have zero experience of macs.
    Can't you install Silverlight and the plugin for all users rather than a specific one?
    I would guess/hope/expect there'd then be one plist file for everyone?

  • SQL Developer 2.1 Disable Automatically Check for Updates bug?

    Unchecking the "Automatically Check for Updates" under Preferences -> Extensions in version 1.5.5 to disables the prompting for proxy ID and password at SQL Developer startup. Unfortunately I am trying version 2.1 on Windows XP and unchecking this option under Extensions is having no affect. It is still prompting for proxy ID and password every time I start SQL Developer. This is extremely annoying.
    Is this a known bug with 2.1?
    Mike

    I get that prompt for a Proxy as well. If I can download SQL Developer 2.1 without a Proxy then why am I prompted for one when I am checking for updates?!?
    I have to uncheck the Proxy and uncheck check for Automatic Updates.
    Even if I tried to use the default proxy it does not exist (I tried pinging emeacache.uk.oracle.com and it just times out and there is no DNS record either).
    I have been able to finally get a few updates but still have problems with getting the JTDS and MySQL updates. I am wondering if there is a problem with Oracle's websites that are trying to be contacted to download these updates. I think Oracle's Check for Updates Wizard still has bugs that need fixing. I have had these problems not just with this new 2.1 but with previous versions as well.
    I hope Oracle fixes their buggy Check for Updates Wizard or the web sites that are being contacted for the updates because this is very frustrating.

    Thanks in Advance

    I don't think there is a way for Edge Code. I'm not sure about Reflow.
    Why don't you just upgrade? That will stop the notifications.

  • ITunes 10.5 Parental Control Issue - Cannot Disable Check for Updates

    We are looking at updating to iTunes 10.5 in a large company.
    Normally we add the following key to lock parental controls and disable the check for software updates.
    This locked or greyed out the check for updates check box. This does not seem to work in the 10.5 release.
    This did work in iTunes 10.4.1.10.
    Here is the registry key we are using.
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes\Parental Controls\Default]
    "AdminFlags"=dword:00000101
    kParentalFlags_Locked
    0x00000001
    1
    kParentalFlags_DisableCheckForUpdates
    0x00000100
    256
    Other parental control options seem to work.
    Any suggestions?

    Same problem here!

  • Disable "check for updates" iTunes AND allow update iPad iPhone

    In an enterprise environment we followed http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2102 to disable the "check for updates" in iTunes, although this is preventing users from updating thier iPad and iPhone devices as well.
    How would we manage the Windows computer software (disable check for updates) but allow users to manage (update) thier own portable devices that require iTunes to update?

    No.  For now we have decided to perform the default install for our users with specific instructions not to update when Apple informs them of an update.  When they see the pop up notification of an Apple update, they are to open the SCCM (SMS) "Run Advertised Programs" where we have packaged the new version to install with Admin rights.
