Instllation of Updates

Hi,
 I am trying to install Cumulative update in Dev machine.
During installation when i browse the site it throws "User Profile could not be found". So during installation the site will be down? or only when we run the product configuration wizard it will be down?
Thanks,
Sudan

During the installation of the update, yes certain components will be brought down and up depending on what the update needs to apply. It is best to arrange downtime for [production] environments.

    There are already three people who had the problem.
    Same operating system?
    Did you apply the patch from the Help menu? If you did,do you have admin rights on the PC?

  • Why there is not "security.enable_md5_signatures" option in some instllations of Firefox 28?

    In some instllations of Firefox 28 there is not "security.enable_md5_signatures" option.
    Where it is present, making it "true" not allow to be used md5 certificates like versions before 28.

    Thank you very much for useful explanation.
    Finally, from removing of "security.enable_md5_signatures" option, we must understand that MD5 certificates will not be supported from Firefox 28 and future versions, even option is set "true" in user set after updating the browser?
    We are familiar that from Firefox 16 there is no longer supporting MD5 as a hash algorithm in digital signatures, but if "security.enable_md5_signatures" option is set "true", browser works with them. May be this was changed [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795398 here] and MD5 support is stopped?

  • Error installing Extension Manager 6.0.5 update

    I am unable to install Extension Manager 6.0.5 Update.  The installation is unsuccessful.  The Error Code is U44M1I0

    Hi Swila,
    To help us solve the issue, could you please provide the following info?
    1. Have you ever changed or removed files in the Extension Manger installation folder?
    2. The current version of your Extension Manager.
    3. Platform and the OS version that you are working in( Windows7, Windows8, Mac OS X10.7, 10.8, … )
    4. Please generate installation log with the steps below, and send the log files to [email protected]
    Windows
    1. Open Command Prompt window.
    2. Run command: cd %temp%
    3. Run command: echo > ribs3debug
    4. After that a new file named "ribs3debug" should have been created in temp folder.
    5. Update Extension Manager CS6, via Adobe Application Manager or running updater installer manually.
    6. The log file "X:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\Adobe Extension Manager CS6 xxxx.log.gz" will be created( check the create date of the file and make sure it is the log of your patch installation ).
    Mac
    1. Open a Terminal window.
    2. Run command: cd /tmp
    3. Run command: touch ribs3debug
    4. After that a new file named "ribs3debug" should have been created in /tmp folder.
    5. Update Extension Manager CS6, via Adobe Application Manager or running updater installer manually.
    6. The new log file "/Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers/Adobe Extension Manager CS6 xxxx.log.gz" will be created( check the create date of the file and make sure it is the log of your patch installation ).
    A workaround of this issue is, manually deleting the instllation folder of Extension Manager( C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Extension Manager CS6 in windows or /Applications/Adobe Extension Manager CS6 in mac ), then downloading the Extension Manager 6.0.4 from http://www.adobe.com/exchange/em_download/, installing it and try updating it again.
    Thanks,
    Xiaoyi

  • WSUS clients reporting, but not recignizing that they need updates

     
    Ok, so here we go.  This issue is affecting all of my clients. 
    What I am running:
    WSUS v3.2.7600.226 on Server 2008-R2
    Clients are          
    Server 2008-R2
    Server 2008-SP2
    Windows 7
    All of my clients are reporting to the WSUS server.  Updates have been approved for all of them.
     The WSUS control panel is showing that each client is in need updates, each client needs between 65-85 updates. 
    This WSUS server is not connected to the internet, so all of the updates were imported from one that is connected to the internet and they are stored locally.
    I’ve checked the WindowsUpdate.log and what I think I am seeing is that the clients are checking in with the WSUS server, but are not seeing that they need any updates. 
    The log file is below.
    I ran the “Solarwinds WSUS Diagnostic’s Tool”, and everything came back as good, except the “CONTENT”. 
    The error that is displayed is “Incorrect proxy client configuration – use settings tab to test proxy configuration settings; may also be caused by misconfigured SSL implementation or access rights on WSUS Server.”
    - I am not using any sort of proxy settings. 
    - I am not using an sort of SSL
    - As far as misconfigured access rights on WSUS server… I don’t think they are set incorrectly. 
    If I browse to http://SRV-WSUS-E3/selfupdate/wuident.cab I am able to download the wuident.cab. 
    Hopefully I didn’t cause this with conflicting group policy, my group policy settings related to WSUS are as follows:
    Allow automatic Updates immediate installation – Enabled
    Allow non-administrators to receive update notifications – Enabled
    Automatic Updates detection frequency – Enabled, 4 hour interval (I plan to change it to 24 hours once things are working)
    Configure Automatic updates
    Configure automatic updating – 4 – Autodownload and schedule the install
    Scheduled install day – 0 Every day
    Scheduled install time – 1900
    No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations – Disabled
    Reschedule Automatic Updates Scheduled instllations – Enabled
    Wait after system startup (minutes) – 1
    Specify intranet Microsoft Update service location – Enabled
    Set the intranet update service for detecting updates –
    http://SRV-WSUS-E3
    Set the intranet statistics server – http://SRV-WSUS-E3
    Turn on recommended updates via Automatic Updates – Enabled.
    Any help or advice would be appreciated!  Also, if more info is need to diagnose please let me know!
    Here is most recent entry in the WindowsUpdate.log files from one of my Windows 7 clients.  Another Windows 7 client's log was virtually identical.

    I ran the “Solarwinds WSUS Diagnostic’s Tool”, and everything came back as good, except the “CONTENT”. 
    The error that is displayed is “Incorrect proxy client configuration – use settings tab to test proxy configuration settings; may also be caused by misconfigured SSL implementation or access rights on WSUS Server.”
    This particular issue is discussed in a couple of other threads, and I think I also posted it back to the SolarWinds Thwack forum for the tool. This is caused because your WSUS server has the "Directory Browsing" role service enabled in the Web Server role.
    If this is a dedicated WSUS server, then that is an erroneous configuration, causing IIS to return an HTTP 403.14 error to the Diagnostic Tool, and it's displaying the standard error text for detecting an HTTP 403 error. This is a defect in your WSUS server,
    and the fix is to disable the Directory Browsing role service in the Web Server role. If this is not a dedicated WSUS server, then the question is whether there are any other web applications or web services that require Directory Browsing to be enabled. If
    not, then you should remove the role service. If so, then this is a normal indication for your implementation because IIS is returning an error to the Diagnostic Tool.

    This message is generated because you have an update on your WSUS server that needs to go away. Typically this is caused by an expired (read: defective) update that still has an active approval. Find the update, decline it.

    And that defective update is most likely blocking this client from being able to scan the rest of the available updates and successfully detect any needed updates.
    Also, btw, I note that this server does not yet have KB2720211 installed.

  • USMT 4 Wrong version error - MDT 2012 update 1

    Hi,
    we are in process of Migrating XP to windows 7, i have prepared a media using MDT 2012 update 1 and WAIK,
    When i started deployment using the DVD i am getting the following error message
    " The USMT Files in e:\..\..\x86\USMT4 are the wrong version. failure 9701.
    When i checked in the above mentioned path i can see the USMT 4 folder with all required files inside it and i even compared the folder with USMT4 folder of c:\program files\WAIK instllation folder and i did not find any difference between them.
    When i tested the deployment from the share folder by accessing (\\itd-mig\deploymentshare$) i was able to migrate without any error.
    Can any one help me to find out what is the error about.
    Thanks in advance.
    D. Sendil Kumar

    Ugh...
    ValidateCaptureLocation is a function in the Deployment Wizard, the wscript object is *not* available from within the MSHTA environment, so be careful.
    Instead of:
    wscript.sleep 5000
    use this instead:
    outility.SafeSleep 5000
    Is your DHCP server slow?

  • Tecra M9-136 - BSOD during Vista SP2 update

    Tecra M9-136 asked this morning to update to Vista SP2 and during the process the BSOD 0x0000007E arrived. Restarted in Safe Mode and the installer continued and then finally reported that the update had failed - and reverted to SP1. This took most of the morning.
    It will start in Safe Mode but on a normal boot-up, Vista SP1 gets through the fingerprint recognition and then fails with the same BSOD (it doesn't get as far as displaying the desktop).
    The laptop has BIOS level 1.80. I've tried in Safe mode to install 1.90 but it tells me that the battery has insufficient charge and the power adapter isn't attached. Both untrue.
    Stuck - need advice. Could this be a hard fault? Can't see how I can update anything if it's a soft fault.
    thanks

    The message with the BSOD mentioned checking BIOS and driver versions. Anyway, no change made to that.,
    I tried System Restore but the only available restore point was the SP2 installation. I thought Vista was supposed to save a restore point every 24 hours even if nothing new had been installed.
    I've now found in System Information / Windows Error Reporting several messages like this:

  • Cannot open and update IPhoto after upgrading to OXYosemite

    From the App store, I downloaded and installed OXYosemite. There are 2 more updates available: iPhoto and iMovie. When I try to upload them, the notice I get is "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID  This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
    I have 2 apple IDs when I inquire about my ids. Signing in App Store with either of them, doesn't resolve the problem. I get the same notice. iTunes, Mac, mobile downloads, all use the same apple IP, only for the computer downloads from App Store isn't working.
    What should I do?
    Thanks, Sev

    I have the same problem and can't find out how to correct it.  Unable to update iPhoto or iMovie .. I get the same message as above user.  Help!

  • Error message: "playlists selected for updating no longer exist"

    I tried to update my ipod nano and I guess I had deleted a playlist, but since then, I have not been able to update. Every time I try, I get the following message:
    "Cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist."
    I haven't been able to highlight which playlists are selected to begin with.
    I read through the manual and thought that maybe rebooting the whole system might work. So I deleted Itunes from my computer and re-installed.
    Then I tried re-setting my ipod. So now I have nothing on my ipod.
    I also deleted everything from my library, thinking it might help to start from scratch. Nothing has worked.
    How do I "select" and "unselect" playlists so I can get up and running again?

    Here you go.

  • Error message iPod cannot update b/c all of the playlists no longer exist

    Hello. I have been getting this error message. "Songs on the iPod "MAR(the name of my iPod)" cannot update because all of the playlists selecting for updating no longer exist." And my playlists are still on the left side in my iTunes. They do exist. I have a feeling ths might have to do with the fact that on vacation the person I was visiting gave me a gift of putting all of his music that would fit into the external hard drive part of my iPod, and for the past week or so I have been putting that music onto my 40 GB portable hard drive at home. I suspect I took a vital folder out of my iPod by accident. Right now I have the folder iPod_control if I open my iPod up in My Computer. Am I missing something? Right now my iPod is empty because iTunes made a composite playlist last week and I deleted it thinking I could get my real playlists back. Can you help me, or reccomend a site/someone who can? Thank you.
    PC   Windows XP  

    hiya!
    And my playlists are still on the left side in my iTunes. They do exist.
    let's just doublecheck this. folks get this message if they have "automatically update selected playlists only" selected in their itunes "ipod" preferences tab. so bring up that tab ("edit > preferences", click "ipod" while the ipod is showing up in the source list), and do a playlist by playlist crosscheck of the playlists selected in that tab, and the playlists showing up in the itunes sourcelist.
    is there any playlist selected in the preferences tab that isn't showing up in the sourcelist?
    love, b

  • Video IPOD no longer recognized by Itunes and wont Update

    This is a long complicated issue. My Ipod has been working flawlessly until 2 weeks ago. Someone tried to plug it up to their computer to charge it and it wiped out my library and added their library. At first i was thinking no big deal, i will just reconnect it with my computer and it will load my library back on. However once connected to my computer it is not recognized by itunes. So i did a reset , which seemed to be working great and it started "updating" about 80% through that process it gave me an error message that says " This disc can not be written to or written from" now I have no idea why it would say that? and although it seems completely wiped out and useless, it still shows that much memeory is missing in the "about ipod" screen on the ipod. So i know the information is there somewhere , somehow?... Anyway I dont know what to do, Does anybody have any suggestions?
    Oh and I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the Itunes program to make sure it is up to date. WOuld adding new songs to my library have caused this problem?

    1. Try Resetting the iPod. Hold Select and Menu for 6-10 seconds - until you see the Apple Symbol.
    2. Use iPod Updater to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    See if those two steps clear up your problem.

  • Error during OS 4.2 update; Ipod no longer recognized by windows or itunes;

    I've had my 3G 8gb since last Feb and never updated the OS (3.1.3). Yesterday I tried updating to 4.2. (OS: Windows Vista 64bit Home Premium; iTunes: 10.1.1.4) There was an error (unfortunately did not make a note of). Now my ipod touch is stuck in "Recovery Mode" and cannot be seen by Windows or iTunes. Windows does detect new hardware but when I browse for the drivers, I get the error "Could not find driver software" after I pointed exactly where it was located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support and C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. I've tried removing all Apple software from my computer and then reinstalling iTunes but I get the same results. I don't know what else to try. Any ideas? Thanks!

    I found a solution last night through http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538. But thank you for trying. The worst part was that I was doing the right thing all along but I think there is a bug in Vista (or I don't understand why I couldn't do it the way I was). On the window that appears after I clicked "Browse my computer for driver software", there are 2 options. The first says "Browse for driver software on your computer" which has an edit box under it and a "Browse" button next to the edit box which allows you to pick the parent directory that driver is in. The second option says "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer". I knew where the drivers were so I was doing option one and it would not work (many repeated attempts after re-installing iTunes, etc.) - VERY FRUSTRATING. But now I'm up and running!!!

  • Macbook4,1 10.6.8 and firmware update - what went wrong?

    Macbook 4,1 2008 2.4Ghz (not unibody). I recently reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled 10.6 from the Retail DVD and all seemed to go well. The MB was working fine up to that point. I then set up the MB (network, date and time, etc.) and repaired permissions.
    I then checked Software Update and downloaded and installed the recommended updates to 10.6.8.
    Again, all seemed to go fine. System booted and I repaired Permissions again. I went to the Apple web site, a couple of other web sites, and Software Update found another update to install: Firmware. Though I don't remember what version.
    I clicked OK and it installed.
    Upon reboot, it seemed to install okay.
    But then I left the Macbook and it went into Sleep.
    I didn't come back to it again until the next day.
    When I pressed a key to wake it, I got what I now know is the screen that appears after you wake it from SAFE SLEEP. As per this Apple KB article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1757.
    And this is where the problems started.
    After the MB woke to the Safe Sleep screen, which shows the desktop a little "out of focus", the progress bars started filling in from left to right, BUT before they completed, the screen went BLACK.
    And it has had a problem with black screen ever since. I can boot the MB from internal or external HD or from DVD, and it seems to boot fine. Boot chime, Apple logo, spinning wheel, then at the point where it pauses, blue screen, then goes to desktop, instead the screen goes black.
    It finishes booting, but seems to go into Sleep.
    I can wake it by pressing a key, but the screen either comes on and goes black again after 10 seconds, or I get the Safe Sleep wake screen, and then it goes black after 10 seconds.
    And at boot or when waking the MB, the front LED flashes 5 times. There are no error beeps.
    I've tried changing RAM, but problems remain.
    So what's all this? Any ideas?
    The display doesn't seem dead, as it works to boot and wake. The MB works fine with external monitor.
    It's weird, but I can't think of anything apart from the Firmware update. The problems started right after installing it.
    Unfortunately, this model of Macbook doesn't have a Firmware Restoration image to download and burn to CD. It is the ONLY Mac at this point that doesn't have this!
    I called Apple support and even bought the 49 Euro Pay Per Incident service, which proved to be the same as throwing 49 Euro out the window. The only "technical" support they provided was to Reset the SMC, which you can find out about FOR FREE at the Apple website. And which I'd done anyway. I'd also reinstalled the MacOS. Don't want to beef too much, but sheesh, you've already got a Macbook that might need costly repairs, and they make you pay 49 Euro BEFORE they even ask you about the problem and what you've done to try to solve it. I'm tempted to say "ripoff". I mean, if all they can offer you is the advice to reset the SMC - which Apple offers for free at their website - then that's pretty poor service for 49 Euro, to say the least.
    Apart from the wasted 49 Euro, I'm pretty peeved about the Firmware update (or so it seems) wrecking a perfectly working 2008 Macbook. I don't know how to convince Apple of this, but I'm certainly going to try.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Re. the Displays setting, the Macbook display isn't recognized and mirroring isn't an available option.
    I've scoured the net and the idea of replacing the PRAM battery may be something to try. I read a post by a guy with a Macbook logic board screwed up by a Firmware update, which he solved by replacing the PRAM battery, as when you disconnect it you reset the logic board.
    Which capacitor?
    No luck so far with talking to Apple. I will try to get hold of someone a little more tech savvy and/or in a position of authority, as it seems that the Firmware is the culprit. Obviously a million other things could go wrong with a Macbook, but given the timing here it looks like the Firmware. Firmware updates can and occasionally do screw up a computer, as most manufacturers will warn you before you apply the update: PC makers, printer makers, etc. And they probably warn you that it's all your responsibility if anything goes wrong. But re. the Apple Firmware update:
    1) it came thru Software Update
    2) there was no warning
    3) to make things worse, there's no Firmware Restoration image that I can burn to a CD to reflash the logic board: this is the only Apple computer that doesn't have a Firmware Restoration option
    I'll try to get thru to a manager and convince him/her that the firmware may have been the cause.
    Do you think an authorized Apple tech might have access to some way to do a firmware restoration? Something not avaiable to mere mortals? Because if not, the only solution looks like a new logic board.
