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 ??

SQL Developer 2.1 Disable Automatically Check for Updates bug?

Unchecking the "Automatically Check for Updates" under Preferences -> Extensions in version 1.5.5 to disables the prompting for proxy ID and password at SQL Developer startup. Unfortunately I am trying version 2.1 on Windows XP and unchecking this option under Extensions is having no affect. It is still prompting for proxy ID and password every time I start SQL Developer. This is extremely annoying.
Is this a known bug with 2.1?
Mike

I get that prompt for a Proxy as well. If I can download SQL Developer 2.1 without a Proxy then why am I prompted for one when I am checking for updates?!?
I have to uncheck the Proxy and uncheck check for Automatic Updates.
Even if I tried to use the default proxy it does not exist (I tried pinging emeacache.uk.oracle.com and it just times out and there is no DNS record either).
I have been able to finally get a few updates but still have problems with getting the JTDS and MySQL updates. I am wondering if there is a problem with Oracle's websites that are trying to be contacted to download these updates. I think Oracle's Check for Updates Wizard still has bugs that need fixing. I have had these problems not just with this new 2.1 but with previous versions as well.
I hope Oracle fixes their buggy Check for Updates Wizard or the web sites that are being contacted for the updates because this is very frustrating.

How to turn off the authorization checks for a object in infoproviders?

Hi - how can I turn off the authorization check for an object (ex: 0orgunit) in infoproviders?
I have 0orgunit as an authorization-relevant object and is used in one of the cubes. When reports are run for this cube, this is causing authorization issues. The object is present in other cubes also but I have to remove or turn off the authorization check of this cube alone. How to do this? Please help.
Thanks,
Raj.

Hi Raj,
Srinivas, is right , however in BI7 the correct transaction is RSECADMIN and not RSADMIN.
In BW3.5, use RSSM transaction to do thins.
OR
Go to transaction RSECAUTH ---> Choose the authorization object that has been created for org unit(and has been assigned to the user). Go to change mode. Remove the cube from the dimension 0TCAIPROV
If you are using old authorization concept in 3.5 or in 7.0
Go to RSSM. In the checks for infoprovider, enter your infoprovider name. Choose change.Here you will see a checkbox to switch off the authorization.
Hope this helps you,
Best regards,
Sunmit.

I'm trying to update my software to iTunes 10.5.2. I click on the install button, click the Accept button, the software checks for updates, and then I am back at the original download screen. I can't seem to get past this loop. Any suggestions?

If I go through the setup that you suggested, won't I screw up the existing software on my system?
No. The iTunes installer will first uninstall the existing version of iTunes and then put in the new one. (That's actually also what happens when you use Apple Software Update to install a new version ... it just doesn't show the uninstall phase like the iTunes64Setup.exe or iTunesSetup.exe does.)

Cannot upgrade my iPod Touch 3rd gen from 4.2.1 to 4.3.2. I click the button "check for updates" on iTunes and it says "This version of the iPod software (4.2.1) is the current version."

1.Go to http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
2.Download the iPod Touch 3G 4.3.2 Firmware to your desktop.
3.Go to your iPod summary, then hold shift.
4.Keep holding shift and click Restore.
5.Go to desktop on the window that comes up and click the software.

My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open iTunes and when I click "check for updates" it asks if I want to update to iTunes 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. What's wrong?

My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open up itunes and when I click on "check for updates" it asks if I want to download iTunes version 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. Sometimes uptop the loading bar will appear but for only a split second. I have tried restarting, shutting down, I cannot figure out why it won't download. What's happening and how do I fix it?

Try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

You should check the developer's website.

HT5362 How do I turn off notifications for Software Updates? 'App Store' doesn't show in the list of notification apps. I want the background checks for updates, just not the notifications.

How do I turn off notifications for Software Updates?
In the 'Notifications' section of the 'System Preferences' app, there is no tab for managing the notifications of System Updates nor App Store.
Hey--- I like auto-checking for updates, and hey--- I like auto-downloading them in the background.
BUT I do not like being notified of updates in the middle of working! Especially when it's iTunes updates. Grrrr.
Any chance this is easy and I just missed it?
THANKS COMMUNITY!

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 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!
M

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

Stop Numbers from Automatically Checking for Updates?

Is there a way to do this?
Every iLife app (except GarageBand) has a "Check for updates automatically" preference that can be disabled in order to prevent the "update is available" dialog box from appearing during the program's launch. However, none of the iWork apps seem to have such a preference.
Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions!

The message "A Numbers update is available. Would you like to open Software Update?" appears when you launch an outdated version of Numbers while you're connected to the Internet.
In fact, a similar message appears for each of the iWork and iLife apps given the aforementioned circumstances. In iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD, however, it can be permanently disabled in the app's preferences. Not so with GarageBand, Keynote, Numbers, or Pages.
While "just ignore the dialog" may be an acceptable solution for experienced users, the teachers and primary school students for whom these machines are being configured will "freak out" if they encounter anything out of the ordinary. Thus, it would be considerably better to prevent the message from occurring in the first place than to tell hundreds of novice users how to handle it.

Thanks for the response. In the time since my previous post, I've come across a thread in the Pages '08 forum in which a poster provided a script to reset SFLDefaultsNextUpdateCheck (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1379420). While this adds to the suspicion of SFLDefaultsNextUpdateCheck, I've been unable to confirm that such a method is effective. Did either of your "guesses" work?
This situation sort of reminds me of a trick that was used back in Mac OS 9 to keep the "Upgrade to QuickTime Pro" dialog box from appearing. In that case, you simply needed to set the system date to some arbitrary point in the future (e.g., 01/01/2020), open QuickTime Player, tell the "Upgrade to QuickTime Pro" dialog box to remind you later, quit QuickTime Player, and reset the system back to the correct date. Do you think that would work here? I'd check myself, but I'm not sure how you can tell the value to which SFLDefaultsNextUpdateCheck has been set.
