Help Menu: No Option To Check For Updates

What the subject line says.
Firefox 4
Help Menu: where is the option to Check for Updates?
Never lacked the option in any previous Firefox version

'''Help > About Firefox''' = a '''''Check for Updates''''' button should appear there, if you have automatic updates turned off. Otherwise, Firefox will automatically check for updates when the About Firefox dialog is opened.

How do I re-enable option to check for updates in Acrobat 11?

I had this till the time I was using Acrobat 10.xx until couple weeks back - recently purchased a license for version XI and the deployment was streamed to my computer by my company's IT department through Microsoft Software Centre. After the upgrade I don't see the option to check for upgrades under any menu. I have tried a re-install and a repair as well, but to no avail. How can I re-enable the option to check for updates?
Thanks
Satya

Thanks so much @LeoAdobeX - that indeed was the problem. I changed it to 1 in registry and see the option in the Help menu now. Thanks again.

Why is Firefox connecting to the Internet and installing updates when I have checked the option to "Check for updates, but let me choose where to install"?

Firefox is connecting to the Internet by itself (i.e., I have not opened the browser) and then installing updates (e.g., Firefox 28 today) even though I have checked the option under Advanced to "Check for updates, but let me choose where to install." I am using Windows 7 on an HP EliteBook behind my company's firewall.

Reset your firefox and try once again!!!
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

"Check for Updates..." menu item missing Acrobat 9 Mac

Trying a clean install of Acrobat 9 Pro for Mac on a clean Mac OS X.8.3 Mountain Lion. It take the serial number without issue after launching, but in the Help Menu there is no, "Check for Updates..." item.
Installed and logged in as a local admin. The only alternative way to update the software is to go to the products update page at:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Macintosh
To download and manually install in succession TWENTY updates to get from v. 9.0 to v. 9.5.4. This shouldn't be this difficult. I bet the Adobe Chat Customer Service that I'd be able to download and install all TWENTY updates before anyone on this forum could provide me with a solution.
Do you accept the challenge?

If you can not download the updates from the help menu any more, then for the MAC the updates are available at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Macintosh. Generally you have to install these updates in order. It is simplest to download the latest first and work back to see if any can be skipped. Once the product hits end of life (and I think AA9 is there), the only updates that are provided are for critical security updates. For instance there has not been an update for AA 8 since Sept 2011. Since the releases are about every 2 years, it is indeed the end-of-life time in the cycle for AA 9 based on the history of the products. The upgrade may be worth it at some time, particularly as your OS or word processor or such change over time. Since the MAC version does not have PDF Maker (as I understand it), the upgrades may not be as critical for you as for PC folks working with newer versions of MS OFFICE -- who have gotten used to those features.

CRVS 2010 beta 2 - check for update options

Hello,
In beta 1 on the Crystal Reports menu were 2 options to check for updates for the software.
I noticed in beta 2 that both options have been removed. I looked around the application but did not see the options someplace else.
Is there something new in the works to be able to check for updates when the product goes live?
Thank you
Tracy

Hi Ludek,
I understand that the check for update options won't work now. What is confusing is that the options were in beta 1, even though they didn't work and now in beta 2, they were removed.
Are you saying that the options will be put back in for the final release? If so, from a programming perspective, it doesn't make sense to remove them to only have to pur them back, or am I missing something?
Let me know.
Thank you
Tracy

under help menu in adobe lightroom 5.3? I intend to deply this application and want these options to be unavailable for the User.

So far as I know, the only way to make these features non-functioning is to detach the computer from the internet.

N95 Device Manager (Check for Updates)

Well i'm currently looking on my n95 for this option to check for updates but its not listed in the options.
My guess is that i currently dont have a server profile added in.
Could anyone help here since i can't check for updates without a server and i can't find the details anywhere.
Thanks.

Thanks for the Firefox 4 upgrade. Here is my concern - Previously, the "Check for updates" option is found under the Help menu. In Firefox 4, I cannot find this option; how will we be able to check if there are available updates?

Previously, the "Check for updates" option is found under the Help menu. In Firefox 4, I cannot find this option; how will we be able to check if there are available updates?
Can this new version update itself automatically? How do I set this option?

Why do developers move stuff just to move it?

Can't update Firefox from version3.0.10. Firefox option is NA under automatic update. Check for updates is NA under Help menu. How can I update?

On my Windows Vista 64 bit laptop, I have Firefox version 3.0.10.
I want to update to the most current version but all update options are grayed out.
On the automatic update screen under Advanced Options tab, the word FIREFOX is grayed out, so I can't select it.
Under the HELP Menu, the CHECK FOR UPDATES is also grayed out.
Somehow, something has happened along the way & now my Firefox can not/will not update itself.
I do NOT share this computer with anyone & I am the Administrator.
How can I get it fixed so it will automatically update Firefox again?
And how do I find out what the latest version # of Firefox is?
Thank you in advance for your help.

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
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.

Can't find "Check for updates" option in Help menu

Hello
I am planning to update several adobe reader installations over a windows domain. First of all, I tried to do it in one particular machine without administrative privileges (not being Local Administrator).
I am surprised of not finding the "Check for updates" option. What is more, there is no topic in the forums about this issue (?).
Please, could anyone tell me what am I missing?
Thanks in advance.

Yes I'm afraid that update must be run with administrative privileges... But there must be another way of updating a product across a network of 400+ clients without login in all of them ...
I'm trying with adobeupdatechecker, to see if it is possible some kind of automation.

Wish: Check for Updates on the Help menu

both Opera & Firefox have a "Check for Updates" on their Help menu. I wish that Safari for Windows would also have the same thing.
I don't like "Apple Software Update" and wish that it was not part of the Safari installation.
I prefer to manually check for updates.

I don't like "Apple Software Update" and wish that it was not part of the Safari installation.
ASU is optional. You can uncheck it during installation or you can uninstall it later through "Add/Remove programs".

I currently have iTunes version 7 and I need to upgrade to version 10. I am afraid of losing all my music if I just download 10 and when I use the "Check for updates" in the version 7 help menu, it tells me the server cannot be contacted.

I currently have iTunes version 7 on my computer and need to upgrade to version 10 to sync my new nano iPod. When I tried the "check for updates" under the version 7 "help" menu, it said it could not contact the update server. I am afraid if I just download version 10 from the website, it will wipe out my music library. What should I do to upgrade?

Back up your music and install from the website. You probably won't need to do this, but if your library is erased, restore it from the backup.

When I try to update my phone to ios 7 it says i need to update my itunes to 11.0.5, when i check my current version in help menu under check for updates it says I have the current 11.0.5 version.

When I try to update my phone to ios 7 it says i need to update my itunes to 11.0.5, when i check my current version in help menu under check for updates it says I have the current 11.0.5 version. Even the downloader for the update doesnt show that i need to update.Help plzz????

There is some kind of error. The new version of iTunes is 11.1, which although is not available via updates, it can be downloaded from the Apple website here:

After updating iTunes to the newest version you should be able to update your iOS
EDIT: I just did that and it works
