How to setup air help auto-update

RH8 HTML.
Im fiddling around with the AIR Help file and trying to get the auto update working.
So far I have the comments syncing perfectly across users with a shared folder on our network.
I'm now publishing the air file to a shared folder again where everyone can get the file and where the update.xml file is sitting.
so I have this looking structure.
\\networkdrive\Adobe_AIR\Generic_AIR\AdobeAIRApplication\Help File.air
\\networkdrive\Adobe_AIR\Generic_AIR\AdobeAIRApplication\Help_Update.xml
I set everything in RH Air output to publish to these folders, and I can see the newest files each time I do, I change the version numbers from 1.28 to 1.29, and this is reflected in the update.xml file where the version number has changed.
but when I go into the actual instaleld 1.28 version and use the Check Now feature to look for the latest 1.29 which has over written the 1.28 files in the shared folder, it finds nothing.
I cant find any way to manually point to where the update should be found.....do the update files have to sit in the same install directory or something? How does this work....aarrrgghhh
Is there another things I'm not doing?
Thanks.

Hi Nick
Good to hear that you are looking into AIR and Comment syncing is working fine.
Regarding the AIR auto update feature, you need to do the following
While generating the AIR file, you need to specify the update XML file location in AIR Help SSL generation option shown in the image below.
Now install this AIR file, and update the update.xml file and new version of AIR file, and it should work fine.
So the point is the installed air file need to know where to look for the update.xml file, it can be shared folder or a website.
Hope this will help you.

iPhone do not do automatic update. You have to manually trigger the updates.
If your Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads > Music, Apps, Books are ON then when you purchase any new content/item with any devices/computer iTunes, it will automatically download. Switch it OFF if you do not want that to happen.

I have OS X 10.9.4. Will someone tell me, please, how to setup the manually software update?

Adobe Air runtime auto-update

Adobe Air runtime auto-updates itself without any notification or request on my Mac OSX 10.6.7 machine. I do not like this behavior. Is there any way to change it?

Please see our Disable automatic updates of the runtime document. However, please be aware that our updates include both new functionality and bug and security fixes. I'd definitely recommend keeping an eye out for future releases and manually installing if you disable the updates.
Thanks,

Authenticating AIR application auto-update

Hi, I'm building documentation for my desktop-product with RH8 and AIR SSL auto-update functionality. It looks like I need to expose any revision of my documentation on Internet for the auto-update. My company does not want to expose it freely since it is intellecual property. Is there a way to protect the revision with some authentication that would work with the AIR auto-update mechanism? Thanks in advance.
--dh

Same situation like ours! :-)
If your documentation on the internet is accessed using "https", then that's the link that will be used for auto-updating and thus an authentication box will be displayed anytime a request for an update is made.
Good luck.

How do you disable iPod Auto Update with iTunes?

How do you disable iPod Auto Update with iTunes? I know there is a key press combo that will do it but I forget which keys. Anyone?
Intel Piii Windows XP Pro

Keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
Another Easier Alternative:
While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys in Windows (CMD + Option keys on a Mac). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes. The iPod will then appear in the iTunes source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto-sync and then you can release the keys. This action may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
You can then ‘right-click‘ on the iPod icon in iTunes’ source column and select iPod Options, then check the box that says “Manually manage songs and playlists”. You can now manage your library without losing any songs on the iPod.
Note: If connecting to a different computer than the ‘iPod’s Home Computer’, iTunes will ask you if you want to update your iPod and give you an opportunity to opt out. This will not happen if you connect to the ‘Home’ computer – iTunes will auto-sync without warning!. Best to know the difference.

Flash Builder 4.5.1 - Air ApplicationUpdaterUI Auto Update Fails

I just reinstalled my FlashBuilder 4.5.1 and built a new HelloWorld App
in order to test the SDK 2.6 with the Air ApplicationUpdaterUI.
I get no errors but it won't update using the 2.6 namespace in both the -app.mxml and update.xml on server.
A trace in the StatusUpdateEvent never shows up in debug mode.
The only window that pops up is the one asking to Check for Update?
Pulling my hair out - must be something obvious I'm doing wrong here - can a new set of eyes spot something?

Status Update - don't know if this is a bug, design flaw, install problem or my misunderstanding.
I got it to work by first changing my Flex library to 4.5.0 - still didn't work with current
app and update mxml files using "2.6" for their namespace versions. But I did at least
get the popup error number 16815 - indicating an error in the update version namespace.
By leaving my application namespace version at "2.6" and changing the update version to "2.5" ... bingo!
I got my new update installed autiomatically.
Is this how it's supposed to work - or are my runtimes mixed up?
Will this work the same using the Flex 4.5.1 SDK? I'll find out shortly
Hope this helps others.

Hp split 13 X2 does not update to windows 8.1 how do I stop the auto update

My notebook runs with Windows 8.0 and functions well. Unfortunately the Windows OS want so to update to Windows 8.1 and my notebook does not accept the upgrade as it will not configure the change. Even though I have set the Windows update to require my approval before updates are initiated it continues to auto update to Windows 8.1. When the update fails my PC automatically reinstalls Windows 8.0 and I am back working again. This has happened 3X in the last 2 months and I am frustrated. Does anyone have any suggestion on how to stop this cycle?

Hi @PDaley,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a terrific place to find answers and tips!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
I understand that you are having an issue with updating your Windows 8 to 8.1. Although you have set the update to require your approval before installing the update, it does it automatically.
When the update fails it reverts back to Windows 8 and all is well.
Here is a link to HP PCs - Updating Windows 8 to 8.1 that may help.
You can also go to the Windows Compatibility Center that may also help to determine what is required for a successful upgrade.
This one from MIcrosoft may also help. Update to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8.
Good Luck!

Use the system lang of AIR applications auto update.

Hello,
I recently used the auto update framework for my AIR application, this works fine but i have a small problem.
I made some reasearches and i found AIR uses the system lang by default. When i install my package for the first time, the lang is my sytem lang but when i find a new update after running auto update of my app, the AIR updater window doesn't use my sytem lang, which is french, but uses english lang. I'd like to put this window in french.
Thanks.

Try loading and using the add-on from this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
Many add-ons do in fact work if you force them to run. The procedure to roll-back is given in this article: [[installing previous versions of firefox]]
Unfortunately the official Firefox policy is that you downgrade to 3.6 which is supported for a while longer, and not the now unsupported Firefox 4. If after installing and running the ''add-on compatibility reporter'' you still have problems there are ways around the official policy.
I think it is absurd that Firefox 4 may be used by tens of millions of users one day and a few days later those that upgrade to Firefox 5 should be not only told not to use a now unsupported browser, if they need to revert due to problems, but are actually obstructed in attempts to do so.

How can i turn off auto-update?

This auto update feature is driving me crazy. i recently downloaded songs from my cds onto my computer. I then put these songs onto my ipod shuffle and they all played fine. i do not want to keep all these songs on my computer, so i deleted them. but when i plugged my ipod back into my computer, it automatically deleted those songs b/c they were no longer on my computer. does anyone know how to turn this feature off (in itunes 5)? thanks!

Natty,
You don't have to use the
b Autofill
feature with your
i shuffle.
See its FAQ :
Autofill actually requires some action. You can manually click on Autofill each time you insert iPod shuffle, or you can use the "Keep this iPod in the source list" option to click Autofill any time and then connect iPod shuffle.
This lets you manually select what songs you want to add to the
i shuffle
, but that does
b not
allow you to add songs that aren't on your computer.
The
i shuffle
is the one member of the iPod family that doesn't give you the option to
i Manually manage songs and playlists.
For some more information, have a look at:

How do i turn off auto update for mountain lion OS?

Today my computer informed me it was going to perform an update and restart my computer. This is a first for me with Apple products.
Does anyone know how to turn off auto-update? When installing the software i ticked the box that disallowed auto-update but i must have missed doing it some other place in the upgrade process.
Thank you.

How to really, really disable auto-update popups from flash player?

I have here a serious problem under 64bit Win7.
More and more frequently a popup appears prompting me (or even start download without prompt!!)if a new flash player should be installed.
When I proceed it shows the progress bar and downloads the package and installation started until the "done" button is shown.
Then I re-open Internet Explorer 9 again and re-vist the last webpage and ....the download starts again.
This is really annoying.
How do I really, really stop forever update prompts for flash player plugins for Firefox and Internet Explorer?

Hi pxstein,
Thanks for posting the screenshots, especially the one of the Process Explorer. It indicates that this is not an auto-update install situation. This type of installation is triggered via content on the page that requires a newer version of Flash Player (your screenshot indicates you have 11.8.800.94) and the content provider has decided to use this type of installation (we support several types that content providers can implement). Since this type of installation is controlled by the content, there isn't a way to disable it. Normally, IE displays a User Account Control dialog window or a dialog bar at the bottom of the page asking if you want to save/run the file. I don't see these in your screenshots and you don't mention if they displayed or not. If not, you may have disabled this warning at some point in time.
Flash Player 11.8 is very old and very vulnerable to security issues and we've released many security updates since then. My recommendation is to update Flash Player to the latest version, 15.0.0.167 for Internet Explorer (15.0.0.152 for non-IE browsers on Windows). If you don't want the latest features available in Flash Player 15, you can install what we refer to as the Extended Support Release (ESR) version. This is a previous stable version that we only release security updates for. Currently this is 13.0.0.244 for both Internet Explorer and non-IE browsers on Windows.
To download the latest version, go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using Internet Explorer
To download the ESR version, go to Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe. The links to download the FP 13 ESR version are at the bottom of the page.
