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?

How can I set Firefox update preferences via script so I can configure our 200 Macs to disable checking for updates?

Most of our Mac users do not have admin privileges. So when they get alerted about Firefox updates, they don't have the ability to install them. We would like to disable Firefox for checking for updates, then push out updates from our software server as needed. We have about 200 machines to configure. Is there a way to disable checking for updates via script (bash or Applescript)? And if so, is there a guide or web site to explain the process?

Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

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.

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 Check for updates button in Help/About in firefox 5.0

Hi the user should not manually check for updates so we want to disable the Check for updates button also in Help/About.
Thanks in advanced

You can hide that button with code in userChrome.css below the @namespace line.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files.

You can also choose to lock the related update pref(s) to false if you want to make sure.

How to disable checking for updates on Mac Silverlight for enterprise environment

Hi Guys,
We are trying to create a package for our enterprise environment to push the install of Silverlight for the Mac and have it not automatically check for updates.
What is the best way to do that?
I found the setting in the com.microsoft.silverlight.plist file that was in the user profile/library/preferences folder.
Is there a way to have this UpdateMode key set to the desired setting regardless of which user is logged onto the mac?
Thanks.
Aaron

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!
Setting the Keys in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\blabla... works finde but neet to be able to set it global!

How to remove Help - About - "Check for updates"

I need to disable completelly all update possibilities from Firefox 4 installation and this is still something that I have not been able to remove.
inside omni.jar I have found similar configuration files that have been working also in prevoius FF versions and have been able to remove update tab completelly from Tools - Options -> Advanced but I have not been able to remove this update button from FF.
I thought that I found correct file to change:
"omni.jar\chrome\browser\content\browser -> aboutdialog.xul" but modifying that does not affect at all to this About - check for updates button.
Any ideas? I have tried to check other files also for this, but have not yet found anything, unfortunately...

A possibility is to use CSS code in userChrome.css or create an extension that adds this code.
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#updateBox { display:none !important; }</nowiki></pre>

Disabling "Check for Updates" via registry

I'm trying to edit the registry to prevent itunes from checking for updates. I've followed the instructions at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2102 to add the AdminFlags key and the values listed. We're trying to do this on Windows 7 x64 bit machines. After the changes are made, we reopen itunes and go to "check for Updtates" and it still works. Has anyone else ran into this issue? Help on this would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!

I figured this out eventually and its actually pretty simple. You create the adminflags DWRORD 32-bit value under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes\Parental Controls\Default" and simply add the decimal value of all of the controls that you wish to have.
Fo instance if you want to disable updates and lock the parental controls so only admins can change them, you would enter 257 for the DWORD value (The sum of kParentalFlags_DisableCheckForUpdates and kParentalFlags_Locked
