Downloads & Upgrades...

I don't want auto downloads or upgrades from Adobe until I'm notified first.  How can I arrange this?

not sure if this will solve your problem completely but it's helped me in a similar situation. The fix I will suggest involves preventing apps from running at startup - at boot-time. This isn't exactly your issue but it may help anyway.
In Windows, from the Start Menu open a Run box, type msconfig and go to the Startup tab. Any entries that you see there (that are checked) will automatically run whenever you boot your computer.
I've unchecked Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager, Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Version Cue CS4. I also prevented Quicktime from running at startup by using msconfig.
msconfig should solve your issues with products running automatically at startup. Make sure you reboot once you've made the changes (i think msconfig will ask you to reboot when you hit "OK").
I think after that the apps will leave you alone till you call them.

  • Restore question and 10.3.9 download upgrade

    I can't get my computer (g4 iBook) to successfully complete a download upgrade of 10.3.9 from 10.3.2. It always freezes in the optimization mode and then I have to reinstall 10.3.2 (an archive install) all over again. What is weird is I can't even get my computer to archive install completely without freezing up on it's own. I have to install from another computer via firewire target disc mode. And I don't think I can use disc mode to download the 10.3.9. Right?
    Any ideas?
    I thought of doing a complete restore but I have never done that before. And I am not sure what the restore mode is exactly. It sounds like when I restore I wipe the computer clean and then have to reinstall 10.3.2.
    Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

    Mr. Rodney, have you run "Repair Disk" and what does it report?
    Steps for using Disk Utility
    1. Insert your Mac OS X CD-ROM disc or Restore DVD disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key until you see the spinning gear..
    2. Once started up from CD or DVD, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
    6. Click Repair.
    If you repair errors run it until no errors found.

  • I downloaded upgrade for LR. After installation, ALL my pictures were gone!!!!! What the hell??? HELP, please.

    I downloaded upgrade for LR 5 on my MAC. After installation, I opened LR and all my pictures were gone??? What has happened?  Thanks.

    If problem not due to opening wrong catalog, then there is likely some other simple explanation, like you are looking in the wrong place or have a filter set wrong or something.
    If you don't figure it out soon, consider posting back with more details and maybe a screenshot or two..

  • How to Install CS2 Downloaded Upgrade on New Win7 Machine

    Hi, I have a purchased and downloaded version of CS2 I want to install on my new Win7 computer.  However I do not see an installer in the package. 
    How do I install this? 

    There is no setup.exe. 
    In the original downloaded upgrade to CS2 from CS1, there are live applications that can be launched.  However, I'm afraid at this point I may have some value in the registry that will not allow me to continue.  I have no idea why. 
    Like I said before, when I try to launch CS2, I get the error that my "user name, organization or serial number is invalid.  The application cannot continue and must exit."  I am not given an opportunity to input this information.
    I have even installed this as recently as last year on a laptop from the same media with no problems, however I must have done something differently this time and it isn't working. 
    I'm afraid at this point I am either going to have to start from scratch and re-install Windows, or fork out for the upgrade to CS5, which I don't really need. 
    That is unless I can locate whatever registry file it is that needs to be modified...   I am not trying to do anything nefarious, only trying to use the software I bought and paid for.

  • Safari Download upgrade suggested now on desktop

    Hello gang.
    G4 digital audio bought used with clean HDD and OS 10.4. Now on the Internet with AOL for Mac X, dial up. The machine works fine and the web works ok.
    Now i must understand, maybe, only I can mess up my machine. When i went to my MSN on the web, the MSN suggested a download upgrade, and I picked the safari. Now on my desk top is the 'Safari4.0.3leo.dmg'.
    OK how do I get it to be the Safari browser that will go to the web as a browser, it is just sitting on my desk top. or will anything happen? I did shut down and restart the machine.
    How can I use the new Safari version that was downloaded?

    G4 digital audio bought used with clean HDD and OS 10.4.
    Now on my desk top is the 'Safari4.0.3leo.dmg'
    "Safari4.0.3leo.dmg" is only for OS 10.5 "Leopard".
    The version for 10.4 "Tiger" is available from http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
    how do I get it to be the Safari browser that will go to the web as a browser, it is just sitting on my desk top

  • HT1338 I downloaded upgrades available. The installation of those took a long time after re- initiatin the system and had to off. After this I could not get it to turn on again. Just stays in the gray screen with apple in the middle. What's wrong?

    Sorry to hear of your problem, but any hardware in a computer can fail - that includes the hard drive, the logic board, etc, etc. Fortunately, it usually doesn't happen that soon; however, I've read of hard drives failing within 6 months.
    So, since you did not purchase the extended Applecare Protection Plan (3 years coverage), you will need to make a decision to repair or sell it as is. I would always purchase 3 year coverage for an all in one or a laptop because repairs are expensive and at least I'd be covered for 3 years.
    We can't speculate on whether there should be a recall or not; these forums are for user to user assistance with technical problems. In your case, there is nothing we can help with since you've already gotten a diagnosis.

    ipad2 is frozen when downloading upgrade ios7.  screen shows ipad cord directing to itunes icon.

    That implies that your iPad has gone into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    You will need to connect it to your computer's iTunes (you will need an up-to-date version of iTunes on your computer), and you should then be able to reset your iPad and restore/resync your content to it

  • How does download upgrade work?

    I just ordered the CS4 upgrade as a download because I wanted the serial number right now because I'm going on a 6 week trip.  This is the first download upgrade I've done for this product because I've had trouble with download upgrades for other products.  I won't have trouble with this install, but what I'm curious about is what happens when I get a new computer and want to install Photoshop.  Most upgrade products ask for the previous CD and a serial number.  In this case, I have it, but when I upgrade next time, my previous will be a download.  I'm hoping that Adobe took care of this problem with download upgrades.   Obviously I prefer not to have to install old products on a new computer in order to get a current product to work.   

    Just like John said. PS CS4 upgrade will ask to type in the CS4 serial number and then ask for a older product number (CS as a example as it is the oldest version to upgrade from). As Long as the older version serial number is "valid" then your good to go. The software will tell you if the serial number is valid by displaying a green check mark after typing. Ensure your connected to the internet. Also burn a copy or zip it of the download. I have had no problems upgrading doing it this way.

  • Recently downloaded/upgraded moz-fire and java but now my fav game at POGO wont load? help

    game - "yahtzee" - at POGO website wont load since i recently 9-22-2011 downloaded and upgraded mozilla firefox. in addition, i downloaded/upgraded JAVA. ive followed numerous tutorials and conducted many tests but to no avail.....

    I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.
