Installs for updates occuring automatically?

Hi all,
I recently used Active Directory group policy to set JRE 5.0 Update 9 as a managed application. This was mandated by one of our vendors to fix a problem with their application.
The JRE update has been installing on users' workstations on boot, with no issues. However, in at least two cases I know of, a second, interactive installation started after the user logged in. In one case, it was JRE 5.0 Update 3, and in another JRE 5.0 Update 4. Checking the Java control panel, it is not set to auto-update.
Does anyone have any idea why this would happen? Is there some prerequesite that is requiring these other versions be installed?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
- Steve

Apple will let you know when an update is available. You'll see a red badge icon on the App Store icon in your Dock.

    Did you ever install Acrobat? It is not installed automatically with CS, but requires an extra installation step.

  • Can I maually check for updates but prevent them from being automatically installed if it turns out one is available?

    Can I maually check for updates but prevent them from being automatically installed if it turns out one is available?
    Background:
    In options I have "check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them" ticked. This works fine, in that I periodically receive a notice of an available update, and it will ask me whether I want to I want to install it.
    But there are certain times -- for reasons I won't go into here (unless requested as part of seeking a solution) -- where I want to manually check for new versions, but RETAIN the ability to decide whether or not to install it. But if I click Help/About Firefox/Check for Updates, and it finds an update, it will immediately proceed to install it without asking for permission. While that seems quite inconsistent with my update preferences in Options, it is apparently normal behavior as described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version#w_how-do-i-manually-check-for-updates.
    So is there any way I can manually check for new-update availability but then refuse the update if I so choose? Once an unwanted install begins, I'm concerned that if I click cancel I could end up with a partial installation or some "messed up," duplicated or corrupted FF files (e.g., multiple versions appended with (1), (2) etc, similar to what sometimes confusingly happens when I do an XP System Restore).
    Thanks.

    I think what needs to be made very clear here is that when a user clicks on "check for updates" the software should bloody well CHECK for updates and most certainly SHOULD NOT proceed to download and apply any updates. this is misleading and intrusive.
    I just wanted to check if there was an updated version but I DID NOT want to actually update at that moment. the software downloaded data, costing me money and tried to apply the update which could have potentially messed up my settings if I had not checked everything was ok first.
    I actually discovered how to prevent the update by searching through windows and manually deleting the files but why should anyone have to go to such lengths?
    the software should simply do as it is asked, not do things that have most certainly not been asked.

  • 10.1.3: How to disable ANOYING automatic search for updates?

    We are experiencing very anoying (meant-to-be-a-feature) performance problems when JDev is automatically looking for updates. It happens periodically (not sure... maybe every 30 min?). Is there a way to disable this?? Please please help.

    The automatic Check for Updates only occurs on startup of JDev. Apart from that, the only reason JDev would check for updates is if you manuall select Tools > Check for Updates. So, it's likely the that periodic "check" that you see is coming from somewhere else. Have you installed any extensions?
    The J-Dide.cfu.autoskip=true would be set as a command line argument when running the product, as in:
    jdevw.exe -J-Dide.cfu.autoskip=true

  • ITunes update installer for 11.e doesn't complete update

    I have had iTunes installed for several years. For update 11.3 the auto-update does not complete the update.  "errors acurred while installing the update". I also can't install iTunes 11.3 from the Apple store, I get error 2324.

    Had the same issue on Windows 8.1(x64)  8(x64) 7(x64) and Vista(x86) with the latest iTunes. Removing and Reinstalling all Apple applications did not solve it. After installation and starting iTunes i would just get the end user agreement and then nothing but iTunes.exe process is running as background process without the GUI being displayed. I did notice that after an hour or 2 iTunes would then be open but would immediately freeze when connecting my iPad.
    Changed the properties of running iTunes.exe as admin in Win7 compatibilty mode.
    So launch iTunes and wait till it eventually opens, do not connect your iOS device right away, but sign in with your Apple ID first.
    Open preferences (iTunes seemed to freeze again but preferences window popped up after a couple minutes)
    Unchecked the automatic sync.
    After doing that I have been able to connect my iPad which I had already upgraded to iOS7 over the air. Which was risky as I do not have a MAC and iTunes is the only way to perform a restore if the upgrade would have failed.
    But still 11.1 seems to be very unstable on Windows, I can imagine that Apple will focus on sorting the bugs in iOS7 for their own devices first but hope they will investigate the issue and come up with a solution later on, as I do think a substantial amount of iTunes for Windows users buy their Music through iTunes and it would not be wise of Apple to leave them in the dark.

  • Can't update Firefox from version3.0.10. Firefox option is NA under automatic update. Check for updates is NA under Help menu. How can I update?

    On my Windows Vista 64 bit laptop, I have Firefox version 3.0.10.
    I want to update to the most current version but all update options are grayed out.
    On the automatic update screen under Advanced Options tab, the word FIREFOX is grayed out, so I can't select it.
    Under the HELP Menu, the CHECK FOR UPDATES is also grayed out.
    Somehow, something has happened along the way & now my Firefox can not/will not update itself.
    I do NOT share this computer with anyone & I am the Administrator.
    How can I get it fixed so it will automatically update Firefox again?
    And how do I find out what the latest version # of Firefox is?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • 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.

  • No prompt to update when Flash Player Settings Manager is set to check for updates automatically

    My understading of http://forums.adobe.com/message/3562892#3562892 (March 2011) is that when an outdated version of the Player is used on Windows, the prompt to update should occur after the next restart of the operating system.
    So, when http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ in Safari for Windows shows an outdated version 10.x of the Player:
    I restart Windows
    I log on
    I wait a few minutes.
    Problem
    Usually, no matter how long I wait, there is no prompt to update; Flash Player Settings Manager continues to show an outdated plug-in alongside a greater version of the ActiveX item.
    I see this problem with multiple computers running Windows XP and Windows 7.
    Any suggestions?

    Flash Player checks for updates every 7 days. The NCP doesn’t change this.  Where the user in that post is getting confused is that only after Flash Player detected an update (on average 3.5 days after a new version is released), the dialog will appear after a restart.

  • HT1338 when I click on software update it says ''An error occurred while checking for updates.'' Why does it say that?

    So I bought a Powerbook G4 from a pawn shop and yes, I did check to see if it was still good. everything works fine but I need an update because I have OS X 10.3. So I connect to the internet and then I click on ''Software Update'' and I wait. But then a message opens saying ''An error occurred while checking for updates'' And I don't know why. HELP!!!

    Something temporarily wrong with your internet connection?
    Be aware that this is a very large file to download, it needs a strong consistent internet connection.
    Have the iPhone on the charger cable too.
    In the meantime read the threads in this forum about the visibility item and some other possible issues on the 4 and 4S (although a large number of people have these issues, it is still a minor percentage, but anyhow, be aware).

  • "software update"  "An error occurred while checking for updates"

    When I click on "Software Update", an error results, "An error occurred while checking for updates".  It is definitely connected to the internet.  I was gifted a G5 and I installed a new hard drive and loaded the OS, OS X 10.3.5.  That version of Safari does not display pages correctly.  E.g., support.apple.com/downloads just clocks on the righthand side of the page.
    Because cannot access that link, cannot manually update the OS - I was thinking this version is "old" and as a result, unable to connect to apple's update server.  Thanks.

    Thanks,  I upgraded with your info.

    Yes. You can't update or restore any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. If you want to update, you need to get a sim card.

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
