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.

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 allow offline use AND check for updates if online?

I am actually not sure if this is a bug or not, as the behavior changed when I updated from 1.6u20 to u21. I have an application in a single JAR, and a JNLP file. I am testing with Windows 7 64-bit (with both the 32- and 64-bit version of the JVM installed, 1.6u20-b06 on both). The application cache is enabled. Here is my JNLP file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?>
<jnlp
spec="6.0+"
codebase="http://hidden"
href="Librarian.jnlp">
<information>
 <title>Librarian</title>
 <vendor>Vendor</vendor>
 <homepage href="http://hidden"/>
 <description>Description.</description>
 <offline-allowed/>
 <shortcut online="false">
 <desktop/>
 <menu submenu="Vendor"/>
 </shortcut>
 <icon href="Librarian.gif"/>
</information>
<security>
 <all-permissions/>
</security>
<resources>
 <j2se version="1.6+"/>
 <jar href="Librarian.jar" main="true"/>
</resources>
<application-desc main-class="com.vendor.apps.librarian.Librarian"/>
</jnlp>I am observing the following behavior wrt updates and allow-offline:
When allow-offline is present:
- JWS does not download updates to the JAR file when the desktop link is clicked.
- The application can run when I disable the network connection.
- The "-offline" switch is passed to javaw in the desktop shortcut.
When allow-offline is not present:
- JWS does download JAR updates when the desktop link is clicked.
- The application can not run when I disable the network connection (HostNotFoundException).
- The "-offline" switch is not passed to javaw in the desktop shortcut.
What I want to happen is for JWS to check for updates if it can, and if it times out, instead of barfing, just go ahead and run the cached version. What I can get right now is either no updates + offline allowed, or updates + offline disallowed. However, I can obtain the behavior I want if I specify allow-offline then hand-edit the desktop shortcut and remove "-offline":
When allow-offline is present but I remove "-offline" from the desktop shortcut:
- JWS does download updates to the JAR file.
- The application can run when I disable the network connection, after a short timeout.
Now, I was under the impression that this behavior is the intended behavior of allow-offline: attempt to download update, on error, silently start the cached version instead. This does not seem to be the case. I actually wonder if this is a bug, as with 1.6u20, it seemed to download JAR updates just fine when allow-offline was specified (I had issues when the cache was disabled with 1.6u20, and so I moved to u21).
How can I make this work the way I want without having to hand edit the desktop shortcut?
Is this a bug, or am I misconfiguring (OED says this is a real word!) the application?
Is there something else I have to do to indicate that the JAR is updated besides just uploading a new version to the server?
It should be noted that I am not doing any web page magic here, I'm testing by simply downloading the JNLP file off the server and opening it. This is actually my first JWS experience and I haven't gotten to properly embedding it in a web page yet. I do not know if this is significant or not.
Thanks!

Well, I solved that quick. I've been staring at it for over an hour but it popped out at me as soon as I looked at my JNLP file in my post here (guess it's the red text, heh).
All I need to do is set online="true" in the shortcut, and also specify allow-offline, and all works exactly as I want it to. :-)
Perhaps it was a bug in u20 that was causing it to check for updates anyways even with an offline shortcut... I'm not sure, and I don't have it in me to test it any more at the moment.
Thanks,
M

How do you do a click to check for updates in firefox 4?

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/780312''
In firefox 3 there was an option to check for current updates .. I noticed in Firefox four my digital persona does work with my finger print reader anymore and its really more convient for me just to swipe my finger to log onto a website without having to remember every single password and its a pain in the rear end to look for them.. how do i check for updates to make sure I can repair a lot of the current problem with firefox 4 .. I love the program but it just has a few small flaws that I am sure will work its self out ..

Firefox program updates are handled thru the Help > About Mozilla Firefox menu item, there's a Check for Updates button in that dialog when automatic updates are turned off.
You can check for extension updates manually in the Tools > Addons > Extensions tab. Right-click an extension and use the Find Update menu item.
I doubt in that fingerprint reader will update with Find Updates, though. You should look for updates at the fingerprint reader software website.

How do I turn off the automatic check for update on opening Firefox? I want to turn off that "what's new" page.

How do I turn off that automatic update that always brings me to the "what's new" web page? It was interesting the first time, but now it is just an irritation. I can check for updates on my own, so I want to turn off this feature. It just started up when I upgraded to Firefox 5. I can't find a place to stop it from checking and bringing me to that web page. Also, I can't stop it from checking add-ons every single time I open the browser.

did you check the suggestions mentioned in the article i posted in my previous post ??

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. 
'''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.

Thank you.

How do I set the options to check for newer versions of stored pages so I get a new refreshed version every time I visit a web page?

I can do this in IE easily but can't find any place in Firefox for this setting. Every time Firefox starts and/or I visit previously viewed pages I want Firefox to refresh the page. It used to do this before I downloaded a new version of Firefox within the past couple months. (I wish I had not installed the new version, I really don't like it as well and I lost features I used.)

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.cache.check_doc_frequency
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

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

Checking for updates

How can I code my program to check for updates when on another unrelated computer?

That depends on how you install your application. If you use Clickonce you can use the built in update
feature. Other installers offer their solutions.
If you want to write your own then that is more involved. What have you done so far? How do you install your app?

N95 Device Manager (Check for Updates)

Could anyone help here since i can't check for updates without a server and i can't find the details anywhere.
Thanks.

Need detailed instructions on how to enable " Check for Updates" option on the Firefox installation directory for Windows XP.

I have Firefox 2.0 (running Windows XP) and want to update it to 3.6, but the "Check for updates" option on the Help menu is grayed out and need to enable this option by changing permissions on the Firefox installation directory. I need detailed instructions on how to access the Firefox installation directory and change the permissions.
Can someone please assist?
Thank you.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox#Mac_OS_X
Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
Install the new version that you have downloaded.
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

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?

I don't think there is a way for Edge Code. I'm not sure about Reflow.
Why don't you just upgrade? That will stop the notifications.
