How to disable Acrobat Updater for Mac Acrobat 8?

The Acrobat 8 manual says one can change updating preferences by "Choose Help > Check For Updates”. But the Help menu in 8.1.6 does not offer that menu item.
AFAICS, there do not appear to be any relevant items in Acrobat Preferences.

The updating preferences are under Edit>Preferences>Auto updates (this latter may not be exact, but the location of the preferences should be correct).

  • How to disable auto update for corporate installation

    I've scoured the forums for this information and was not successful locating a viable answer.
    We need to update 1500 corporate clients to the latest version of QT, but we need the auto update feature turned off when the upgrade is complete. We do this for two reasons: 1) Users do not have permissions to run the installer, so even if they wanted to run the update they would be unsuccessful, and 2) we need to test any updates before they are distributed to the general population.
    For past versions we created a QTP file with the auto update turned off, then placed it into the C:\documents and settings\all users\application date\apple computer\quicktime folder. This method is no longer successful.
    Changing the settings for each individual user is not an option, we need a method that will change the setting for any past, current, or future user on all of our computers.
    Any guidance is appreciated.

    Trying to figure out the same thing. I came across the following two links but I don't think they will disable the updates to community help itself. So from what I can gather you need to do the following:
    Turn off autoupdates to AIR (See below)
    Turn off updates to Community Help (No clue how to do this)
    Install Local content (See below)
    Disables updates to AIR

    Turn off internet access/help and copy local help

    Turn off internet access (not sure if you need to do this one and the one above or just the one above)

    You can download the latest version of AIR and Community Help.

  • I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update

    I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update so I can use the store.

    If Software Update is offering the update then it would be compatible with your model.  Unfortunately, you haven't provided us with any information on your hardware that would enable us to determine if it really is too old.
    If you really wish to disable the update alert then the next time Software Update opens, select the update in the list then select "Ignore update" from SU's Update menu.

    In Snow Leopard you update Java from Software Update (in the Apple menu). You can check your version by opening Terminal and typing
    java -version
    (don't get creative and type anything else)
    The latest version is 1.6.0_65.

    Does Anyone Knows How To Disable The "Check For Updates" Option in Adobe Edge Code and Reflow?
    Thanks in Advance

    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.

  • How to Disable Software Updates

    One of my customers, a small school district, has an Xserver running OS X 10.6.6. All of the student and teacher MacBooks are also on this version. The district is deploying a program called DeepFreeze on the student laptops which will prevent them from saving any and all changes to the laptop. They have local administrative rights, but when the laptop is rebooted, it is like they never logged in. Therefore, Apple Software Updates are useless and really undesirable. They'll be downloading the same updates everyday. They can turn DeepFreeze off and run the updates, but this will not be on a scheduled basis. Is there a way through Workgroup Manager that I can disable the updates for the student group?

    We turn that off in system preferences for each local account. I even build a DEFAULT template with it turned off. It works fine until we image the machine.  Any new machine with that image, the Apple updates, Bluetooth are turned back on!!!
    How do you keep them turned off after a restore? The original machine with the master image still works. they only turn back on after using the image of the master.  Very annoying that every app on  a mac has to search for updates all the time, then multiply that times a 1000 machines and a 15m internet connection. Do the math.
    if anyone knows how to KEEP the settings after a restore, let me know.

    how to update for mac os x 10.5.8 to v 10.6

    Before you do anything else or buy anything, you should check the limitations of your machine.
    Minimum specs for Snow Leopard (10.6.x)  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 
    And for Mountain Lion.                      (10.8.x) http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    Otherwise you could just be wasting time and money.

  • Migration assistant update for Mac OS X Snow Leopard

    Hello -- I downloaded SNOW LEOPARD successfully that past week. I did a software update as well afterwards.
    Now in preparation for upgrading to LION OS X, I read an article that mentions one must make sure to have the MIGRATION ASSISTANT UPDATE for Mac OS X Snow Leopard installed. I am unsure if this was included in the software updates I performed. One would assume it would be there. BUT there is not a detailed listing of what these combination updates include. HOW can I tell if I have the desired version required to continue on to LION?
    Another suggestion was for one to perform FIRST AID on the start up disk. It only says to select your Mac HD and then to "verify" ..... do they mean to VERIFY DISK or VERIFY DISK PERMISSIONS. I have on occasion performed a REPAIR DISK PERMISSIONS but not the others mentioned. I do not know what the difference is?
    THANK YOU

    I have the same console mesages repeating ad-nasium as you do. What is interesting is I do have the StartuoItems directory but it is empty. The problem I have is that the log-in window comes up as normal, but I can not type in it for about 5-8 seconds. This has started after the latest updates which you mention. Don't know if this issue is related or not. Have deleted the loginwindows and loginitems preferences to no effect.
