How do I disable Adobe Update??
I need to know how to disable Adobe Update so it only runs when I want it to run. I saw that my i7-920 24gig machine was using 100% of cpu tonight. Im running on a 12 hour old fresh install of Win7 64bit and was immediately concerned when i saw how much cpu was being used. When I checked system resources, I saw that it was adobe update that was using 99% of all the resources. I cant have this. Please tell me how I can disable adobe update from running without me initializing it.
Hi Jared,
Please let us know what product (with version) you have installer.
You can also follow the article: Disable auto-updates | Application Manager | IT administrators which will help you to disable the updates for all Adobe Products.
Let us know if that's what you were looking for.
Thanks,
Ratandeep Arora

How do I disable "Adobe Updater"?
After installing Reader, my security software keeps telling me that "Adobe Updater" is trying to access the Internet. I prefer to make all updates manually, and not have any programs download and install them by their own direction without my consent. Even after uninstalling Reader, the message still comes up, I assume my Adobe plugins (Shockwave and Flash) are keeping it running. How can I permanently kill this process?
Should have specified this: I'm running Windows XP.
EDIT: Heh, figured it out myself by just bothering to glance at the taskbar. Even though the program had been uninstalled, the updater process was stuck in some sort of loop, where it was trying to connect but kept getting denied by my computer. I just had to click cancel to get rid of it.
It's fine if a mod wants to delete this now. -
How do I disable automatic updates?
I am going to have to use Firefox version 28 forever, exposing myself to many security risks in the process, because I do not like the drastic redesign of the interface in version 29 and Mozilla have not included an option to switch to the old interface.
Many support forum posts argue that bringing back the old interface is a 'simple' matter, but it is not. I have spent many hours on two PCs so far, fiddling with the recommended third-party add-ons (e.g. Classic Theme Restorer) in the attempt to get the browser looking the old way again. I can ascertain with confidence that it is NOT possible to get things looking exactly as they did before, and certainly not looking like the particular customized setup I had myself.
I have now re-installed version 28, and intend to continue using it indefinitely. However, automatic updates are still enabled, and Firefox has already tried to update itself to version 29 again. How can I disable automatic updates for good? I have tried some tricks like deleting the update files and then removing the update URL in about:config, but a new update was still downloaded somehow.
How can I nix automatic updates for good?Hi,
It is true that the Classic Theme Restorer add-on will NOT bring back all of your customized settings/appearance on Firefox 28, but it will help a little It's recommended that you stay on the latest version to receive the latest security fixes and bug patches but you're free to downgrade if you want.
You can set these prefs in <code>about:config</code> to disable automatic updating:<br>
app.update.auto - false<br>
app.update.enabled - false<br>
app.update.silent - false<br> -

How do I disable Adobe Reader from opening pdfs?
how do I disable Adobe Reader from opening pdfs in Safari? I tried unchecking the box for opening pdfs in browser under Adobe's Internet prefs, but that didn't seem to work.
Hello-
I actually saw a solution to this earlier today. To disable PDF viewing in safari, first quit safari, then open terminal, and type in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool YES
To re-enable PDF viewing in safari simply open the terminal, and change the "YES" in the command above to a "NO"
Hope this helps.

Help~How to disable Adobe Updater in Reader 8.*/9.*?
Does anyone here know how to disable the Adobe Updater by registry or Group Policy?(if possible)
I won't like to manually disable them by "Help" -> "Check for updates"
The following registry key only works in 6.*/7.*
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0\Updater]
"bShowInstCompDialog"=dword:00000000
"bShowNotifDialog"=dword:00000000
"iUpdateFrequency"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\Updater]
"bShowInstCompDialog"=dword:00000000
"bShowNotifDialog"=dword:00000000
"iUpdateFrequency"=dword:00000000
Help~I don't know where that preference item is stored. But if it's in the registry, I would do the following if I were in your situation.
*export the entire registry
*set the no-update preference, according to Aaron's suggestion
*export the entire registry again (to a different name)
*compare the two files (e.g. with windiff); that should show you what's changed in the registry -

How can I disable software update in the settings of our company iPad?
Hi, Just need your help guys. How can I disable or hide the software update settings in our company's iPad? Our company don't want to update all the iPad fixed asset to our employee. Thanks.
There are two files that ought to change when you set your preference:
"/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist"
"/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.scheduler.plist"
Try moving both of them out of the prefs folder. Then launch System Preferences and reset your preference to whatever you want (or uncheck the box altogether). See if that works. If it it does you will have to also reset your other System Prefs, since all will be returned to the default. If it doesn't do the trick, you can put the originals back and thus avoid the resetting.

How do I disable Adobe opening my pdfs
Hi,
I recently clicked "yes" to a pop-up window that asked "Open all pdfs with Adobe Reader?"
I would like to turn off or disable this, so that when I click on a pdf it isn't automatically opened through Adobe Reader. How can I disable it?
I have Adobe Reader 10.0.0 and use a Mac with Mac OX 10.6.8.
Thank you!
KimThank you, but when I control click, I don't get a "get info" option. However, a drop down menu pops up with these options:
add sticky notes
select tool
hand tool
marquee zoom
previous view
rotate clockwise
print
find
document properties
page display preferences
When I click on "page display preferences, another window with many options pops up, but none of them seem to relate to "open with."
Any other ideas?
Thank you! -
Need to disable adobe updater in reader 10
We deploy adobe reader using the MSI in Group Policy. We just pushed out Reader X. We also push out updates the same way
as our users do not have admin rights. We need to disable automatic updating and checking for updates. The Customization Wizzard is not available for Reader X yet and the adm file we have for 9 does not seem to work on X. Anyone have a solution?Can you simply set registry using your deployment tools?

How do I disable Adobe EchoSign?
I am using the latest Adobe Reader version (11.0.10). Whenever I add my signature to a document and go to save it, i get that popup box. I have never used EchoSign, I had to google what it even was.
How can I disable this feature? Thanks.I see... Then why does that option not pop up on other machines?
This is in a domain/business environment. I have ~125 users who use Adobe Reader in and out all day long. I have 10-15 users who have scanned their signature in and created a file with it, to add their signature to a document. Of all of my users who use the signature portion, only one of them gets this popup.
I've gone in to their machine and changed the signature file to the signature file I use, and still get the same message. I've used their signature file on my machine, and get no message. So this obviously has something to do with their Adobe Reader. Everyone is on the same Adobe Reader XI (11.0.10). -

Is there a way to disable adobe update4? I thought I did and it just showed up on my menu bar.
It seems to affect my photoshop by showing a strange "A" like symbol that flashes on occasion while in Photoshop.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.Hi,
Then you should get the Adobe Update Manager:
Click on the Preferences label (upper right). This will change the page to:
Now uncheck the first box on the left side if you want to turn all notifications off. If you just want notification for one or a couple of the products, just leave only that one(s) checked on the right side.

How can you disable Adobe Reader from opening a file right after you save it as a pdf?
Hi,
I often save word files as pdf files and right after I save them as pdfs it opens the file in adobe reader. How can I disable this?
ThanksAhh, but that's the design function of any PDF viewer add-on to a browser.
To avoid -- Use the browser feature that saves a file to the local machine.
Then open the file with the appropriate application.
If your machine/device does not support this then you'd want to change to one that supports what you want eh.
Be well...
