Keep getting Update requests

I have an HP laptop running Windows 8. While using internet browser I am persistantly bothered with requests to allow Adobe to update the \\\flash \player - this happens every 10 minutes or so. I have installed the requested update but 10 minutes later I get another request for the same update. I have restarted the laptop - still same issue - I have uninstalled and re-installed the latest Adobe version but this issue keeps happening. It is very annoying. How do I stop these annoying update requests.

If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
You can also delete active-update.xml and possibly updates.xml (stores the update history).

  • I have mac osx 10.6.8 and I keep getting update notices that do nothing, just search for update server. Happens every day. What can you or I do to fix this?

    I have mac osx 10.6.8 and I keep getting update notices that do nothing, just search for update server. Happens every day. What can you or I do to fix this? Other people I work with and use macs have the same issue.

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Keep getting a request for password "for the CalDAV account for my email account when I log in my iPhone password. ????

    I keep getting a request "for the CalDAv account" when I log in using my iPhone password on my iPhone.  Just started happening.   ????

    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • Why does flash player keep sending update requests when I have already installed latest version?

    Flash player keeps sending update requests and when I try to install it tells me I need to close internet explorer when it isn't open. How do I make it stop?

    Right click ANY flash content and choose "Global Settings" Under Advanced, you can check the version and set updating preferences.

  • I keep getting updates for my itunes for 11.0.2 but it errors out.

    I keep getting updates for my itunes for 11.0.2 but it errors out every time.  Can you help.

    You don't have to update to iOS 6.0.1. A few iOS 6 users have reported problems, but most have not. However, for my iPad 2 I'm waiting until iOS 6.1 is released. iOS 6 doesn't add that much for the iPad 2, and it subtracts YouTube and Google Maps apps.

  • I keep getting update notions that there is an update for it available. Is it possible to disable it?

    So you are on Mac OS X 10.7.5?  That means that you also have Mac OS X Preview.  Can you open the PDF files with Preview? If not, then that does not bode well.   You can also try another test by opening the PDF files in TextEdit as a text file to see if it has any content.  If you see objects similar to what is below and the file does not open in Adobe Reader or Mac OS X Preview then the file is probably damaged.

    If there is no content and the file has a size of zero KB, then the file is lost entirely.

  • Trying to update Apple TV software, but keep getting "update was not successful" message--what gives?

    Trying to update Apple TV software, but keep getting "update was not successful" message--what gives? Definitely have wifi connectivity.

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

    Thanks Phil

    Could you please restart your machine and try installing this update again.
    If you still face this problem then please provide us with PS installer log file at

    For Win:

  • Anyone else keep getting "Updating tree" ever since Pro App Support update?

    Ever since one of the last updates for Pro Applications administered by Apple, Logic Pro 7 has been starting with an additional annoyance. I keep getting a little load window that says:
    "Updating tree, please wait"
    Every time I start it up. Anyone else get this? It is pretty annoying. A push to get me to buy Logic 8 so I can appreciate Logic 8's 'superior speed'?
    Not like getting Logic 8 would make too much a difference there, being that I am a Power PC user . . . but that is for another topic.
    Thanks!

    okay, your recommendation sounded straight-forward enough. Thank you, by the way. But when I went into Logic to turn it off, I couldnt find where I could. And that is probably a part of the problem-- I don't know how I turned it on in the first place. Any tips on how I get there? Is there a key command for it? If so, that must be the way I accidentally turned it on. Thanks, again!!

  • Cannot connect to internet with firefox. Microsoft Explorer gives me an error message. I know my computer is connect, because I keep getting updates on the weather. What's up?

    I cannot connect to the Internet on my desktop with firefox since last night at about 8 pm. Everything was fine until then. I know I am "connected" because I get updates on the weather and my family tree works. I just cannot get email or surf the web. Please help.

    Microsoft Word is a Microsoft app. You should post your question to a Microsoft forum.

  • I keep getting The request timed out.(-1001) when I try to update

    I am online, the network is working fine, it does this on every network I connect to, WTH?

    If you are setting it up via USB try disabing the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    Power off and then back on the router
    Try when connect to another network if setting up via wifi

  • Keep getting 'updating' message, acts like searching, keeps on running...

    when opening or upon closing firefox, a download bar appears saying something like 'searching for updates', keeps running, even offers tab to allow 'update' to allegedly continue in a hidden status...

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
