I am told to "research" GOOGLE UPDATE Plug in. Research is bogus

When I click on "Research" for GOOGLE UPDATE, I'm given a list of websites with no download or update information on them. The GOOGLE UPDATE plug in is listed as unknown and I'm told to research it.

Yes it is - all Apple programs need to be left where they were originally installed for the updater to work - iphoto must net be renamed or placed in a folder - it must be loose at the root level of the applications folder the way it was originally installed
iWeb probably is the same although I do not know that for a fact - ask in the iWeb forum for definitive information on iWeb

  • How do I uninstall Google update plug in?

    I don't like having plugins automatically added when I update Firefox. I want to uninstall the Google update plugin which was added without my permission. I also would like to know how to stop further plugins or extensions from being automatically updated or installed. they cause me nothing but problems.

    You can see the installed plugins on the about:plugins page.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aplugins
    You can set the pref plugin.expose_full_path to true on the about:config page to see the full path of plugins on the about:plugins page.
    It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.
    You can open about:plugins and about:config via the location bar, like you open a website (about: is a special protocol to access some build-in pages).
    If you get a warning when opening the about:config page then you can confirm that you want to continue.

  • I have a plug in called unity player 3.4 do I need it enabled, same thing with google update 1.3.21.69 on laptop running windows 7

    I just bought my laptop & was checking add-on for updates all of the other plug ins updated, & I've installed all up to date, but not sure, I have no knowledge about if I even need to enable the- Unity Player 3.4.0.27242, ( I'm not a gamer) nor do I know what the Google update 1.3.21.69 is use for. Or can it be disabled as well?

    For unity player you can see there:

  • Need to be able to use and sinc Google calendar, I can not get enhanced google email plug in for some reason

    I finally got a gmail account and have tried to create a calendar for my family using google calendar.  The calendar appears on my Torch 9810 but will not sinc with google calendar.  I keep reading that I need enhanced google mail plug in but can not find where to get this plug in.  I am not tech savy, so any help would be appreciated.  I am a long time Blackberry customer (15 years) and in the almost 2 years of having the Torch, I am ready to huck it out the window and give up.  I loved my Bold, the Torch does not compare in my ease of use.
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    From what I understand, Google discontinued support for the Enhanced PlugIn as well as many other things...but that's a change that Google made, not BlackBerry. Further, via the available OTA sync capability for Google Calendar, only the primary calendar can be synchronized...no others.
    So, I'm a bit unclear about your specifics...it sounds like you created (on Google) a sub-calendar for "family", and somehow got that to appear on your BB, but cannot get it to sync OTA with Google. But all of that sounds contradictory to what I understand...in that you should not have been able to get that sub-calendar to appear on your BB at all since Google only supports the primary calendar.
    So some further details about all of that will likely help greatly in understanding, and hopefully then providing you with useful guidance.
    Thanks and let us know!

  • Get Plugin Finding Service Error for weeks & weeks now - can't update plug-ins, need download .pdf doc, but says adobe unstable, plug-in needs update. now what

    Want to download .pdf doc, but pop-up says it's unstable, need update plug-in. Tried to update, got error message, with "try later". Same for weeks now. Tried check for updates, Firefox is up to date, clicked update plug-ins... it tries, then again... same error message: "Plugin Finding Service Error. Please try again later".
    Been so long now -- when becomes a mighty big question. Looked in forum, no joy.
    Please, can someone tell me -- what's the go. I'm absolutely no good with computers, but this needs to get fixed. Should I stop using Firefox or what?
    Thanks for your help.
    Happy 2013 to all.
    PS. (added a couple days later)
    I'm told I should have added my next question in reply to TylerDowner here, instead of as I did. Sorry if that's so (really?) but I didn't even realize I could edit this.
    So... TylerDowner, thanks very much for your reply, and please would you -- or anyone else who might be able to help -- see my first reply to you below. (seems a waste to slot in here again)
    Feelin even dumber, (ha-ha)
    raaraa

    Tylerdowner -- >> thank you << for your reply, and my sincere apologies for this delayed response (probs, hospital, blah-blah, you don't want to know).
    Have tried to download via that link but not sure if successful. Very slow dial-up connection is the pits. Waited hours 'n hours, fell asleep in chair even, finally had to give in and go to bed, left it going. Server does time out every 8-12 hours, so not sure how long it went. The download appeared complete -- ie, did not show any note of failure. Not sure if it would -- some things in the past haven't.
    Anyway, had success downloading one much older .pdf file, but the link for one I wanted had expired, and I don't know anything else to try. Tried a couple of other links I have, not sure of age of file -- on clicking link, the browser opened, but nothing more happened.
    Wondering -- is the download available in separate pieces instead of one big one? Perhaps worth trying again that way?
    Please, if you would be forgiving, and persist with me a little further/longer -- would you make your recommendation/s for next step/s please?
    Hope you're in a safe, comfortable place. So many places in the world suffering with extremes of all kinds.

  • How can I block google updater?

    hello,
    i happily switched to Apple 6 yrs ago, but now I get the impression that since there are more mac users , software companies like google create software that work as in windows world...
    what do i mean?
    i was sick of those windows times when i had "intrusion like software" that ran without being aware of... now i see it is happening in our mac world...
    few months ago, google changed the way we could download and install their sw... such as Earth.. for the latest version I was forced to install the 'google installer' if i wanted to upgrade Google Earth...
    but what i hate from it or what i dont like from it, is that when i see at the Activity monitor, there are 2 new friends, 'google updater' and "google sw updater".... they are always running... and sometimes they are shown in red, so it means it is not responding...
    are they becoming the mac-version of spyware and malware?
    how can I block these 2 new friends? i'm afraid the answer is either to uninstall Earth or get used to these 2 new friends...

    My installation of Google Earth did not come with Updater, but the Google Earth Plugin for Safari did, and won't install without it. Thats when I started to see errors in my system logs (problems with backups) relating to it. The install for the Earth plugin says:
    Notices: By pressing <Continue>, you will also be installing Google Software Update, which periodically updates the Google Earth Plug-in and other currently installed Google software to their latest versions. In order to keep you safer on the internet, these updates will happen automatically. If you do not wish to receive such updates, please do not proceed with the installation.
    I have to confess that I did not notice this when I did the original installation. The Google Voice and Video plugin did not have this notice, and the Customize option to uncheck the Google Update install is greyed-out.
    The Google Updater for Windows has configuration options that allow customization of the update process:
    'Automatically update software': Silently keep your software up-to-date without any prompts or notifications. (Occasionally, an issue may need your attention, in which case you'll be notified.)
    'Notify me when there are new updates': Receive update notifications. You can then choose when you'd like to install them.
    'Let me check for updates myself': Don't receive any update notifcations. Your software won't be updated automatically. To see a list of available updates,click the Updates tab.
    The MacOS version of Updater doesn't have these features (yet?). If you feel Mac users should have feature parity with Windows users in this regard, make your suggestions known to Google at:
    http://www.google.com/support/pack/bin/static.py?page=suggestions.cs
    BTW, somewhere along the line I got MacFUSE - a Google user-mode filesystem extension - installed. I have no idea where that came from, since it isn't mentioned as an installed component in the Google Earth plugin. More spooky behavior from the Google apps...

  • Updating plug-ins, about reaearching.

    I know virtually nothing about how to manage/update plug-ins, I have several that say 'research' But when I research, it's so complicated I just don't understand what to do next, Help....
    I am using Windows XP Pro 32 bit V 3.0
    Sylvia

    Firefox may pick up plugins that actually are not important to you, because Firefox picks them up from the Windows registry where external programs can freely list them. So... if you discover plugins with no known value, you might consider disabling them here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
    That probably will reduce your research burden.
    Generally speaking, if a plugin is associated with another program, then you can keep the plugin up-to-date by updating that program. Adobe Reader and iTunes would be examples of that.
    If there are plugins you're really curious about, you could post more information about those. On my test page, there is a list of your currently active plugins that you can copy and paste: http://dev.jeffersonscher.com/jstest.asp

  • What to do about Microsoft Office 2003, Windows Presentation Foundation & Google Update.

    I am not sure what to do about the following 3 third-party plugins. It appears that the Windows Presentation Foundation plugin "has a major security vulnerability that can be exploited by malicious websites as described in the Firefox Article "How to enable and disable Windows Presentation Foundation." It seems that the easiest way to deal with this plugin is to disable it via the add-ons manager. My question do the other two plugins pose security risks - should I disable them. I have tried to find additional information on all three plugins and cannot seem to ascertain whether they need to be updated or if, in fact, there are updates for these plugins. I am not sure if they are even compatible with Firefox, perhaps they been added to the Mozilla Add-ons block list. At any rate, any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
    The three plugins in question are:
    Microsoft Office 2003 Unkown ? Research Office plugin for Netscape Navigator plugin
    Windows Presentation Foundation Unknown ? Research
    (WPF) plugin for Mozilla Browsers plugin
    Google Update Unknown ? Research
    Google Update
    Thank you in advance.
    GAMKRTWCA

    hello, i have those plugins on my computer too but have always kept them disabled because i'm not exactly sure what functionality they offer - i have never encountered any site that would depend on them or would cause problems without them, so you can likely just disable them without any harm...

  • Google Earth Plug-In and Safari 5.1.2

    Why can't I install google earth plug-in on Safari 5.1.2 ?
    I can't explore google maps in earth view mode since I updated Safari.
    I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it without success.
    I've also installed Google Earth but nothing has improved in google maps wich still doesn't display the earth view mode.
    I install the plug-in as I always do, but now it seems to fail.
    After the installation, it is like I didn't do anything.
    Does anybody know anything about it?

    Try this...
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences.
    Move these files to the Trash.
    com.google.GoogleEarthPlugin.plist
    com.google.GoogleEarthPlus.plist
    Empty the Trash, restart your Mac, try reinstalling the software.

    I upload Adobe Flash but I'm constantly told I have a missing plug in and need to install. This happens again and again. I am finding no solution.

    Do not follow links from error messages; go direct to Adobe's site and download the latest version from there.
    10.3.181.26 is the latest version - added this week.

  • Acrobat Updater plug-in fails to install

    I'm running Mac OS 10.4.11 on Mac G5 Quad, 6.5GB RAM, and whenever I run the Adobe Updater for my CS3 programs, I get a dialog box that says, "A new version of the Adobe Updater is available for installation. Click OK to install it now.", so I do, and it downloads and starts to mount a dmg or something, then I get an error message, "Adobe Acrobat Updater plug-in failed to install.", so I never know if it updated the rest of the Suite or not, can't find any info about this. Has anyone found the answer to this? Thanks! :)

    Hi Meisha,
    I have had the same problem for months now and cannot figure out how to solve this. I have seen another discussion with the same topic "Adobe Acrobat updater plug-in failed to install" but am unable to reply to the discussion for some reason. I'm new to using the forum.
    Someone in that discussion (Donald Raymond) posted a command, but I don't understand how to effect the command nor how to reach him to ask him to clarify. The discussion link is here:
    "http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.3bc4ba94"
    I wish that Adobe would address this issue and give a valid solution. Otherwise, I'm unable to update my CS3 products on Mac OS. I also tried to install a download of a new Adobe update manager, but that didn't solve the issue.
    I hope someone can help us!

  • Can we do a video from iChat to a Google Talk plug-in user

    If a person I know is into using the Google Talk plug-in, which uses say [email protected] and I use iChat, can I Add Buddy entering [email protected] and invite that person to video chat?
    There may be 2 parts to this:
    1) From Leopard
    2) From Snow Leopard
    What I have seen so far:
    A friend on Leopard cannot enter [email protected] and see my name in his Buddy List. Leopard wants .mac, .me or AIM in a popup.
    In my own SL, I have entered an@gmail name in and see it appear with an AIM guy icon, but have not been able to try the chat.
    Then, if iChat to GTalk can be done, can a 3-way chat be done this way?
    I'm still trying to find someone to test with me but meanwhile maybe someone else has experience with it.
    Thanks.
    ~Deb

    What? I don't think that is correct (about the Codec). Both ichat AV and google talk video use H.264 and MPEG4 audio for their codecs.
    "http://code.google.com/apis/talk/call_signaling.html"
    "Currently, only Gmail voice and video chat supports sending and receiving video. At this time, the H.264/SVC and H.264/AVC codecs are supported. Other codecs may be supported in future versions."
    And ichat A/V
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IChat
    Additionally, video conferencing uses H.264/AVC
    And finally...Google Talk Video most certainly does NOT use Flash
    http://news.cnet.com/google-launches-video-chat-for-gmail/
    "Unlike many current video chat products, Gmail Video and Voice uses a proprietary plug-in, not Flash. The small (2MB) download supports Firefox, IE, and Chrome on the PC, and Firefox on the Mac. Support for other browsers and platforms (Linux and mobile) may come later."
    All that being said you are correct though about compatibility. Even though Apple and Google Talk videoconferencing use the same codecs for video and audio they cannot communicate with each other.

  • Adobe reader 9 - Updater Plug-in has been removed
