How can I remotely enable the automatic updater preferences?

How do I remotely control the options in the Updater preferences?

I assume you mean by remote login.
To enable via SSH to an admin account:
sudo launchctl load -F /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.screensharing.plist
To disable:
sudo launchctl remove com.apple.screensharing

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

    Far as your Safari problem do these things until it's resolved:
    1: Software Update fully under the Apple menu.
    2: Check the status of your plug-ins and update (works for all browsers) also install Firefox and see if your problems continue. You should always have at least two browsers on the machine just in case one fails.

  • How can I know about the latest updates / versions which when available for all the CC products, without having to install and check it with the Desktoip Creative Cloud Application ?

    How can I know about the latest updates / versions which when available for all the CC products, without having to install and check it with the Desktoip Creative Cloud Application ?

    Thanks for looking into this Jeff!
    I work with an Inventory module software and is responsible for software detection across several computers. Once an updated version comes up, I update our database with latest software details to get it detected if installed on any machines.
    The problem tracking updates with Desktop Creative Cloud Software are;
    1)We have to have it installed with the CC applications in-order to get the notification of the latest updates and have to check everyday.
    2)Only relates to the latest updates, so in-between we may miss a prior update unknowingly.Hence, the remote machines having those updates may not get  detected with the software version update which would create problem in reporting.
    3)For all CC products, there is no base or previous updates available for installation if we miss one.
    I went through the Adobe Products Update pages [Product updates] which holds good when it comes to Acrobat and Reader software which I follow to track down any newer updates but this is inconsistent when it comes to CC products like in After Effects CC, Dreamweaver CC etc...
    So overall to be very specific, is there any one channel I can follow to get the notifications only for the updates on CC products and then may be I can rely on Desktop Creative Cloud for installation if not available anywhere like in product update pages of Adobe ?

    (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 Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does it go through properly this time?

  • How can I prevent Firefox from automatically updating?

    Hello,
    I am trying to prevent Firefox 28 from automatically updating to Firefox 29 (on OSX 10.7.5).
    I have the option "Never check for updates" checked under 'Update' in the 'Advanced' Preferences. I have "Automatically update Search Engines" unchecked. I have uninstalled Firefox 29 completely using two separate uninstall clean-up kits and emptied the trash before re-installing Firefox 28... Yet every time I finally re-arrange, customize and re-sync Firefox 28 back to the way I like it, I restart my Mac and Firefox 29 rears it's over-drawn, bubbly, space-wasting, UN-SYNCED, ridiculous tabs on top nonsense user interface.
    I've tried to work with Firefox 29 but the new SYNC simply does not work and that's a deal breaker. I need the changes I make on my mac to be reflected across the other two systems on my desk (one WinXP, one Win7) and vice versa. When I try to sync on FF29 it takes me to a page to log in and then refuses to recognize my email and password (which I have thoroughly confirmed on my other systems as correct).
    Can you please help me prevent Firefox 28 from automatically updating to Firefox 29?

    Thank you for your comments, cor-el.
    Yes, I know about Classic Theme Restorer, but the point is what gives Mozilla the right to update my Firefox when I already have quite clearly set every option to prevent automatic updates?
    I have set:
    app.update.auto - false
    app.update.enabled - false
    app.update.silent - false
    So which secret magic setting has Mozilla used to bypass all these settings and what gives them the right to do it?
    Also, moving the tabs bar and menu bar and whatever else has been moved in Firefox 29 is a THEME change. It is not a security fix. Mozilla should not be in the business of changing the theme or look of Firefox. It is not their business how I want my Firefox to look.
    Regarding "tabs", I have mine down the left side, so this tweaking of the tab bar position is pointless anyway.
    To Mozilla, Just for absolute clarification, there is no way you can possibly justify forcing an update on users computers without their explicit acceptance.
    What if someone found out how Mozilla forced the update? They could then force an update that is NOT a genuine Firefox release and do untold damage to peoples' computers.
    So now I am forced to delete Firefox from my startup script and start it manually just in case their is another forced update that I can stop.
    To cor-el, thank you for your post.
    To Mozilla, you have lost the plot.

  • How can I shut off the automatic login when I turn on my MacBook Pro?

    Ever since I updated to Yosemite I have been forced to enter my password whenever I turn on my MacBook Pro. I went to System Preferences/Users & Groups and see that the automatic login option is set to off, but it is shaded and I can't use the dropdown menu, even though I've unlocked it.
    Is this a common issue? Am I just going to have to get used to signing in every time? I'm the only one who uses it, and it's a little annoying.
    I've tried searching for help in the discussions and also on google, but I'm not finding any answers.
    Help, please!

    Did you turn on FileVault when you upgraded to Yosemite? If it is on then a login password is required (sort of obviously). You can tell whether it is on by going to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Security & Privacy and click FileVault at the top and see if the words "Turn off FileVault" are in the button. I'm the only one who uses my Mac also, but the remote possibility of it being stolen makes it worth it to me to have FileVault turned on and a password required.

    If you enjoy the animations but find the parallax effect a nuisance, you should send Apple feedback to have toggles for both. I've already done it!

  • EF6: How can I get navigation properties automatically updated?

    I've defined the following entities:
    public abstract class EntityBase
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public class Person : EntityBase
    public virtual HashSet<Message> Messages { get; set; }
    public int CountryId { get; set; }
    public virtual Country Country { get; set; }
    public class Message : EntityBase
    public string Text { get; set; }
    public int PersonId { get; set; }
    public Person Person { get; set; }
    public class Country : EntityBase
    internal class TestContext : DbContext
    public DbSet<Person> Persons { get; set; }
    public DbSet<Country> Countries { get; set; }
    Here's my problem: While the Messages.Person navigation property gets automatically updated according to the Messages.PersonId
    foreign key property value when my changes get saved to the database, the Person.Country
    navigation property remains null although the Person.CountryId
    foreign key property is != 0.
    Why is this happening? Why does the Messages.Person navigation property get aligned with the Messages.PersonId
    foreign key property automatically while the Person.Country navigation property does not get aligned with the Person.CountryId
    foreign key property?
    These are the entity values before SaveChanges() is called:
    person.CountryId = 1
    person.Country = null
    message.PersonId = 1
    message.Person = null
    And these are the entity values after SaveChanges() is called:
    person.CountryId = 1
    person.Country = null
    message.PersonId = 1
    message.Person = { Id = 1, Name = "Test" }
    Your help is appreciated.

    Thank you for replying, Fred.
    Here's the unit test code I'm using (it calls into a repository which more or less simply calls DbSet<Entity>::Add()
    and SaveChanges();.
    [TestMethod]
    public void MessageDbTest()
    using (Repository<Person> rp = new Repository<Person>(true))
    Person p;
    Message m;
    BusinessLayer.TestContext.CreateNewDB();
    rp.AddOrUpdate(p = new Person("Hello", 1));
    Assert.AreEqual<int>(1, p.Id);
    Assert.AreEqual<string>("Hello", p.Name);
    m = new Message("Hello, too", p.Id, "This is a long test message.");
    p.Messages.Add(m);
    rp.AddOrUpdate(p);
    Assert.AreSame(m, p.Messages.Single());
    Assert.IsNotNull(m.Person);
    Assert.AreEqual<int>(1, m.Id);
    Assert.AreEqual<string>("Hello, too", m.Name);
    Assert.AreEqual<string>("This is a long test message.", m.Text);
    p = rp.GetItem(1);
    p.Messages.Single().Name = "This works, too";
    rp.AddOrUpdate(p);

    Assert.AreEqual<string>("Hello", p.Name);
    Assert.AreEqual<int>(1, p.CountryId);
    Assert.IsNotNull(p.Country); // ** fails ! ***
    Following is a number of screenshots, depicting the entities' properties.
    Please notice the highlighted navigation property values in the Watch window on the right.
    You will notice that while the Messages.Person navigation property gets aligned with the Messages.PersonId
    foreign key property, the Person.Country navigation property does not get aligned with the Person.CountryId
    foreign key property when TestContext::SaveChanges() is called:

  • How can I switch off the automatic window size and set the size of the window manually

    I need to open the web-page in a window of a certain size. The javascript function window.resizeTo (w, h) does not work. If I open the window using the window.open ("", "", "width: w, height: h, ..."), there is another problem.
    The hyperlinks that have to be opened in a new tab in the same window or at least in the window of the same size, will open in another tab of the first window from which I called window.open().
    I do not know what it is, bug or as intended, but the normal full-featured window with the right size I cannot get.
    In Russian:
    Мне нужно открыть страницу в окне определенных размеров.
    Из консоли Firebug с помощью javascript пробовал window.resizeTo(w,h) - не работает. Если открывать окно с помощью window.open("", "", "width:w, height:h, ..."), то возникает другая проблема: ссылки, которые должны окрываться в новой вкладке в том же окне или хотя бы в окне того же размера, открываются в другой вкладке первого окна, из которого я выполнял команду window.open(), которое неправильного размера.
    Не знаю, что это. Баг или так задумано. Но открыть нормальное полноценное окно с нужными размерами не получается никак.

    You need an extension if you want to set the window dimensions to a specific value or you need to open a pop-up window with window.open and specify the width and height.<br />
    Otherwise a new window opens with some default dimensions as saved in localstore.rdf and you can't easily adjust the dimensions via JavaScript in that case.
