How do I deal with wrong update notices?

This is for adobe flash player on Mac OS 10.8.3
Starting with the last update, I never respond directly to update notices, I always go to "find version" when I see one hopping up and down:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html#main__Troubleshoot_o r_install_Flash_Player
This morning, the icon for "adobe reader updater" appeared again and started hopping up and down in my apps bar.  So I went to "find version" and discovered that I have the current version.  So I refreshed the page to make sure it was not just left over from the last time.  It wasn't.
I do not want to click an icon that's giving me bad info -- I have heard that there are viruses that masquerade as updaters, even on Macs.  But it keeps hopping.  What should I do to make the ____ thing go away?
Thank you very much, I do appreciate your time.

Either your system is infected with malware, or websites you visit are.

  • How can I deal with long sql by the oo4o?

    I am using VB and oo4o to develop a sql executor which is a extention of an old system.
    For some reason, I have to use oo4o v8.1.7 to deal with Oracle Database 8i to 11g.
    But when I send a very long sql(11KB) to it I got a error in the VB enviroment.
    The Err.Description is "automention error. Started object is disconnected by the client.".
    The Err.Number is "-2147417848 ".
    The sql that I send it to the program is a simple select sql that like select a, b, c, substrb(d, 1, 2), substrb(e, 2, 3) .... from A_TBL where A=aa;
    This sql is normally executed by the sqlplus but I got an error by the oo4o.
    When I insert a '' between the 30Xth items, it got exectuted normally.
    ex. select a, b, c, substrb(d, 1, 2), substrb(e, 1, 2) ..... substrb(303th, 3, 4), '', substrb(304th, 1, 2) ... from A_TBL where A = aa;
    How can I deal with this problem? Thanks.

    So how can use this function correctly?By learning what exceptions are, how they're used, and what you can do to deal with them. There's a tutorial here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/exceptions/index.htmlAnd here's a quick overview:
    The base class for all exceptions is Throwable. Java provides Exception and Error that extend Throwable. RuntimeException (and many others) extend Exception.
    RuntimeException and its descendants, and Error and its descendants, are called unchecked exceptions. Everything else is a checked exception.
    If your method, or any method it calls, can throw a checked exception, then your method must either catch that exception, or declare that your method throws that exception. This way, when I call your method, I know at compile time what can possibly go wrong and I can decide whether to handle it or just bubble it up to my caller. Catching a given exception also catches all that exception's descendants. Declaring that you throw a given exception means that you might throw that exception or any of its descendants.
    Unchecked exceptions (RuntimeException, Error, and their descendants) are not subject to those restrictions. Any method can throw any unchecked exception at any time without declaring it. This is because unchecked exceptions are either the sign of a coding error (RuntimeException), which is totally preventable and should be fixed rather than handled by the code that encounters it, or a problem in the VM, which in general can not be predicted or handled.

  • How does Essbase deals with multi-users

    How does Essbase deals with multi-users connecting for reading and writing in the same time? How the global coherence of the database is controlled when users are updating dimension and data all together?

    For reading, Essbase handles multiple requests concurrently. For metadata (outline) only one user at a time can make and save changes.For data, Essbase uses a block level locking mechanism, which implies that an update to a block can only be done by a single update request, but other blocks in the database are still updateable by other users.Hope that helps.Regards,Jade---------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Don't download MacKeeper. Users complain about this app and it damages OS X. Also, Mac OS X knows how to take care of itself, so you don't need any other cleaning application that may damage OS X. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3691

    I'm constantly seeing error messages on my Apple TV (2nd gen) on content I easily watch on my other iDevices. What gives? This thing is rapidly becoming a vy expensive paper weight. Possibly the worst Apple product I've yet purchased. Am I alone in this?  What can I do?

    You cannot connect to TC using USB.
    Plug the TC into the computer using ethernet.
    Press and hold the reset button on the TC for about 10sec.. until front led rapidly flashes.. release it.
    Open the airport utility and make sure you can locate the TC. Check the disk page that the disk started up without errors.

EVERYTIME I reformat I have to authorize the same computer and so it takes up one of my 5 authorized computers... Anyways after deauthorizing all my computers in september I was not aware I couldn't do it for another year (why does APPLE assume these stupid tactics prevent piracy). Anywysw I need to reach apple and have them make it so I can do it again. I had a similar problem with Playstation and when I called them they fixed it for me... even windows (which you can only have one serial per computer) made it easy because all I had to do was call them and they fixed it for me. Now I need APPLE to do the same and this is the only place I could see to actually say what is going on... I can't believe I have to do this with my iPhone... I wanted an mp3 player and a phone together and if I can't put new songs until September 20, 2012 I am going to freak out!

  • How Oracle to deal with the data lose?-----QNo.104

    In incomplete recovery,some data will be lost. How Oracle to deal with it?
    For example, at 9:00am, you find that it is a mistake to drop a user(you dropped it at 8:30am). But other users' transactions are in progress. A lot of data is input between 8:30 and 9:00. If decide to make a incomplete recovery, does this means all the data input between 8:30 and 9:00 will be lost?

    For example, at 9:00am, you find that it is a mistake to drop a user(you dropped it at 8:30am. But the transactions are in progress. To make you clear, you can't drop the user while session connected to this schema.
    I dont think that you would loose any data.
    The other workaround for this issue would be,
    I would clone this on other server just before the user dropped, take the export and then import the user in the production.
    Is this satisfy your question?
