Java Automatic Updates Tool

I keep getting the popup window for the J6u1 update.
Does this do a smart "upgrade" or does it install a brand new
jdk1.6.0_01 installation?

Thank you so much. Thats exactly what I feared.
Im not going to bother then. Who needs the hassle of installing/uninstalling. Thats 300 MB thats getting deleted and
shuffled about every update.
Do you know if it prompts you to uninstall first?
I didnt think it was advised to uninstall an old version after installing
a new one.

Java automatic updater

Hello everyone.
A component of our application is written and developed in Java.
Our users complain that when the automatic Java updater is running and performing an update, our software (the component written in Java) stops working.
The Java component is a critical part of our software and when it doesn't run correctly the whole application shuts down.
Is there any workaround for that -- eg. get information about Java updater status (active, inactive, updating) -- apart from disabling the automatic updater?

To find the root cause of your installation failure the most direct option is to review the installation logs. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation logs at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

How do you reset the Apple ID to a new one for the automatic updates download tool? It defaults to my old Apple ID, even though I have changed the Apple ID to the new one everywhere I can find.

I have an original Apple ID from my personal iPhone and iPad. I bought a MacBook Pro for business and the Apple Store clerk told me to use the old Apple ID to make setup faster and that I could change to a new one later. So... I did all that and changed the Apple ID everywhere I can find a place to do so. And everything seems okay, except the Automatic Updates download tool defaults back to my original Apple ID. That old Apple ID is grayed out in the login, so I cannot seem to change it to download and update under my new, business-related Apple ID for my MacBook Pro. What to do?

Yes, absolutely, you can still use the old ID to update, etc., but I understood the OP to want to simply discard the old one and use only the new one. Maybe I misunderstood...
And, actually just now re-reading the first post, it could be that the ID had only been associated with the iDevices, so if he established a new ID and associated that with the new MBP, I frankly have no idea if he can still use the old ID on that machine (based on him saying that the old ID is greyed out) - have not come up with this type of situation before.

Error in installing Java EE 5 Tools Bundle Update 6

Hi,
I am always getting following error installing Java EE 5 Tools Bundle Update 6:
"...GlassFishUtils$DomainCreationException: Could not create domain - the process returned 255"
Looks like Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 is the issue here.
This is very critical that I install the Netbeans in my machine. I appreciate any help from you.
Thanks,
Joy

You can certainly install this on Windows XP Home and expect everything to run. Supported platform list usually lists only those specific platforms which went through full QA cycle for particular product, but this doesn't mean product will not run on different OS version or edition.

How to automatically update Java without notifications

I just want Java to automatically update in the background - like Windows updates do. Is such a simple thing possible? If so, how?
I understand that techies think it important to be notified. However, I am not a techie, just a regular computer user who is annoyed by continual requests to update Java when I have no reason to say no.
Thank you.

Hello,
There is no way for Java to be updated without some amount of user intervention. If you would like to forgo any dialogs, there is silent install, which requires that you download and run the installer from the command line. You can see more about the silent install here: JRE Installer Options

Disabling Java Web Start Automatic Updates

Hi,
my manager is a bit concerned about JWS automatically updating itself.
It doesn't bother me as much as, say, Windows automatically updating itself,
but what if Sun inadvertently adds a serious bug which stops my app working?
It would be nice to be able to choose whether or not JWS does this, and to be able to
manually check for updates, in the Application manager.
Anyone else here share this thought?
rgds,
Matthew Harrison

Java Web Start does not ever auato update itself, only the applications that are launched with it.
Starting with Java 1.4.2_01 The Java Runtime Enviornment itself began containing the ability to auto update itself, but :
1.) If 1.4.2_01 auto-updates to 1.4.2_05, both versions remain available on the machine, (and a webstart app can specify either the exact version it wants, or a range ov versions)
2.) The update policy can be set by each user thru the Control Panel, and the default is to prompt the user before installing.

How can I prevent Firefox from ever automatically updating without my say so. It just did, and DESTROYED all bookmarks. I'm BUMMED about that

There were NO .json files saved anywhere in the 'puter. I need to be reliably OPTED OUT of automatic updating unless the auto destruction forces warn me aforehand to backup my cookies, bookmarks, email and etc. When I now click on Help, I get an automatic start of "downloading Firefox 3.6.6" WHAT KIND OF HELP IS THAT?

Your bookmarkbackups folder is your Profile folder which is normally a folder hidden by Windows.

I use the "Ask me what I want to do" option. It will still check, but ask you if you want to update '''IF''' you leave the check mark next to Firefox.

Automatically updating files on local testing Server

I'm using EasyPHP-5.3.5.0 as a testing server on my local machine (I've use EasyPHP for several years). I set up the Site Definition in DW8 using the testing server root folder (www) as the development area; however, this caused problems when I attempted to upload from within DW to the Remote (production) server. I then modified the Site Definition to use a local folder. other then the Testing Server folder, for development which solved the upload problem. Then in the Site Definition I setup the Testing Server using the "PHP MySQL" model with "Local/Network" access. The Testing Server folder was set to "C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-5.3.5.0\" and the "Refresh Testing file list automatically" box was checked. The URL prefex was set to "http://127.0.0.1:8888/" as defined in the EasyPHP instructions. My problem is that Dreamweaver is not updating the files on the testing server when I save a file in the development folder. The development folder and the Testing Server reside on the same computer. If I copy and paste a file to the testing server everything works fine. I would like the testing server files to be automatically updated when I save a file in the development folder which is what the Site Definition seems to indicate should happen. Any thoughts on what the problem is and how to fix it would be appreciated.

Same thing happens when i click restart.
No difference when i run it in Safe mode. And it won't let me create a new profile either. Is there anyway else i can extract my bookmarks? This is driving me crazy!

Did the crash reporter send any crash reports? 
You can see the crash reports in this folder:
"C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports"
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad
See also [[Firefox crashes when you open it]]
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. 
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]] 
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" 
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files) 
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox 
If that still causes the same problem then do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* 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.

Applescript to automatically update the EyeTV DVB EPG program guide

For EyeTV users in Europe and Australia with DVB EPG access, you will all know that EyeTV will not keep that database automatically updated.
So I wrote this bit of Applescript will update EyeTV's free to air DVB EPG database.
Paste it into the ApplesScript Editor, and save it as an application somewhere like in Applications. On first run you will get a dialog saying it need access to Accessibility. Navigate to System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Accessibility and you will see your app listed there. Enter your password, click the checkbox, and then try again. It should then work fine.
To automate the launching of the script, set it to run at at daily a convenient time using either Lingon (or some similar launch agent configuration utility), or using iCal as per this tip: http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_make_your_ical_alarm_perform_action
Running it daily (or as often as you like) will keep your EyeTV EPG database up to date always. No more missed recordings because the EPG was not up to date! Yay!
This is the basic script, I'm sure it can be better.:
tell application "EyeTV"
          activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
          tell process "EyeTV"
                    keystroke "g" using command down
                    delay 1
                    click (pop up button 1 of window 1)
                    delay 1
                    click menu item "Update DVB Program Guide" of menu 1 of pop up button 1 of window "EyeTV Programs"
          end tell
end tell
Cheers

Good morning Frank
OK....
I too have the same issue (didn't notice it at first). Having wasted several hours, I found no way around it.
But there are tools like clicclick that can click anywhere on the mac screen. So... get it from here:
http://www.bluem.net/en/mac/cliclick   (big thank you to Carsten Blüm) :-)
install as recommended (I put it in usr/bin/ as I had no usr/local/bin). Check it works via the terminal by pastingcliclick c:28,11 into terminal and pressing return. If that opens the apple menu, then it is installed and working.
Then try this script, which first puts the EyeTV window to a specific location on the screen, then instead of using UI scripting to click the silly pop up button 1, uses clicclick to clik at the location of the button. This opens the menu, and then UI scripting can click it. You may want to change the EyeTV window location from the value I chose, if so put it into your prefered position then use the Accessibility Inspector to get the location of the button, then add some pixels either side of that.
For me this now works perfectly every time, I hope it will for you. Annoying to have to install clicclick but there you go.
tell application "EyeTV"
activate
set the position of window 1 to {30, 60}
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "EyeTV"
keystroke "g" using command down
delay 4
do shell script "cliclick c:170,70"
delay 1
click menu item "Update DVB Program Guide" of menu 1 of pop up button 1 of window "EyeTV Programs"
end tell
end tell
I have found that the delay after the keystroke g is essential otherwise I get an invalid index error, I think because it is not ready to accept the click. You may need to change the delay.
Also when using Lingon to launch the Applescript App, the path needs to be to the applet file inside the contents of it. ie something like mydirectory/myappname.app/contents/MacOS/applet. name your app without spaces.
cheers
Chris

Intune & Third Party Software Automatic Updates

Can Windows Intune ensure third party software such as Java, Adobe Reader, & Flash is updated? I at-least want an email when a PC has an out of date version of the above software. If Windows Intune can't do
this, any recommendations?
We're a small business that simply uses Windows Intune and Office 365. Recently a PC had a vulnerable/out of date version of Java and visited a compromised site, resulting in a nasty virus. Obviously I don't want this to happen again.
Update: I ended up using GFI Cloud's patch management to address the lack of automatic third party patching in Windows Intune.

That requires manually uploading patch files for third party software daily... I'm looking for something that can automatically update common third party software that cause major security concerns, or at-least notify me when they are out of date.

Turn off automatic update

I don't have time to read through your site for the answer to this problem. I don't allow automatic updates and I get very annoyed when I keep getting popups from firefox wanting me to allow you to update firefox on my computer. I read enough here to be directed to tools/options/advanced and unchecked the box for firefox auto updates and restarted my computer. but I still get the message. How do I stop it?

There is no "automatic" update for the iWork apps. Just like for Mac OS updates, QuickTime, iLife, etc., Software Update will let you know an update is available. You can choose to download & install them or not. Considering there have only been two updates for Pages 2 in the 17 months since its release, they aren't very frequent. However, if you do not want Software Update to notify you of any updates, or at least do it less often, open System Preferences & click on Software Update & deselect the Check for updates box.

How do you create a calculation that automatically updates changes?

Hi all,
I am trying to create a calculation using subtraction. This is how it is set out:
KM
-KG
=Field1
-Field2
=GM (fluid)
Under the calculate tab for Field 1, I have written in the Simplified field notation:
KM-KG
And under the calculate tab for =GM (fluid), I have written in the Simplified field notation:
Field1-Field2
And this all works perfectly providing I don't change any of the totals in the KM or KG or Field2 fields.
If I make changes in those fields they don't automatically update.
How do I make them automatically update?
Any assistance would be hugely appreciated.
Many thanks.
Bridie

To set the field calculation order, first go into form editing mode (Tools > Forms > Edit) and then: Tasks > Other Tasks > Edit Fields > Set Field Calculation Order
Order the fields in the list to whatever makes sense for your form. Be sure to do this again once you have the form working like you want to make sure it's still set up correctly.
