Plugin check (incorrectly) says my acrobat plugin is out of date and takes me to a reader install

Windows XP
FF 20.0
I have Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.6. and the plugin checker says its out of date.
I don't think it is, it's just not Abobe Reader.
I don't want to have both Acrobat and Reader. When I do, then there's two different plug-ins in FF, but they both have the same names, but they seem independent and it just seems messy. It looks as if the same plugin is on there twice, one updated and one not updated, but it doesn't seem possible to remove either one. Which is actually good, b/c one is for Acrobat and one is for Reader, which I didn't realize until I started looking into all this mess. Also, there's no point in me having Reader if I have Acrobat.
It's weird that the plugin checker says the Acrobat plugin is out of date and directs me to the Reader 11 download to update it, eventhough I already have Reader 11 (thanks to the plugin checker). In other words, the one that is updated is Reader, but the one that is supposedly out of date just directs me to a DL that I already have installed. Sorry if its confusing.
Now I downloaded it, and have since uninstalled it, but it seems well-known that there can be issues with dl'ing Reader when Acrobat is already uninstalled (or something), as well as when uninstalling one or the other, so now I am nervous, because I didn't take any precautionary measures when dl'ing or uninstalling Reader.
I almost feel like I should uninstall everything (if possible) and just start fresh.
Anyway, point is, the plugin checker is wrong, right?

Hi jonadelman, if you have 10.1.6, you are current. It's just that the plugin checker doesn't know that both 10.1.6 and 11.0.2 are current.

  • HT4587 I downloaded Airport Express Utility 5.6 to get my Airport Express to work with the latest Mac OSX 10.7.4, but when I install and run it, it still says my Airport Express is out-of-date and needs the 5.6 utility.

    I downloaded and installed Airport Express Utility 5.6 to get my old Airport Express to work with the latest Mac OSX 10.7.4, but when I install and run it, it still says my Airport Express is out-of-date and needs the 5.6 utility. What's up?

    It is likely that you downloaded AirPort Utility 5.6.1.  If you checked the requirements, this only runs on Leopard or Snow Leopard Macs.
    You have Lion, so you need AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion

  • I have Firefox as my default browser. My anti virus says the web browser is out of date and I can't update Firefox as there are no update available. What is the solution?

    I recently had a Dell Tech Specialist work on my computer. I apparently was having trouble with my current browser at the time, which was IE-7. The tech uninstalled it and downloaded Firefox. Computer works great but I cannot update the web browser as there are no updates available on Firefox. I have Norton as the antivirus program. Any suggestions on how to remedy this? I have windows XP

    You are using Firefox 3.6.3 which is an old version, the current version is 3.6.13.
    To update it either use the "Check for updates" option in the Help menu, or download and install the latest version from http://www.mozilla.com/

    I just bought my apple tv and it says that it can't set the date and time? How do i fix this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    A number of users have encountered this problem, for existing users the problem has largely been resolved by restarting the Apple TV. However since you are a new user it would be wise to check that your settings are correct to begin with. Ensure the router allows access over port 123 (TCP) and that you are using the DNS settings provided by the ISP and not your own.

  • When i download an app its says Your credit balance is out of date.

    i downloaded ios 5.1.1 earlier help please help ? i bouhgt a 15 pound itunes card and i downloaded the update after that ?

    I think this has to do with having a gift card balance. When I did not have a gift card balance, I was able to use the "update all" button. Then I redeemed an iTunes card and got the same message you did, but I was able to update each app individually. When I used up my iTunes balance and it was back to $0, I was able to use the "update all" button again.
    The update process on iTunes and the iPhone is very buggy. I can't get any of my updated Apps to sync with the iPhone today. I hope they get this worked out soon.

  • Plugin check incorrectly marks flash ESR as "vulnerable"

    With the terrible issues recently with Flash 12, I opted to use the extended support version of Flash 11.7r700.
    The plugin checker page, however, shows that my flash is supposedly "vulnerable" but it is most definitely not (it's the latest updated version offered by adobe in their extended support cycle for corporate use)

    I added a comment to the bug report linking to this thread and updated the summary to make it clearer that the issue is Flash 11.7 ESR:
    * [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=978505 Bug 978505] - Mozilla plugincheck says latest Flash Player 11.7 (Extended Support Release) is vulnerable and tells me to update
    By the way ... you wrote:

    I was wondering what those terrible issues were. I'm using the latest Flash Player 12 version 12.0.0.70 on my Windows 7 x64 computer and other than a focus bug that has existed since Flash 11.3 (which I've worked around by [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround disabling protected mode in Flash]) it's working OK.
    In case you want to try Flash 12 again, see:

  • After downloading the "new version" of Java 6 times, my plugin-check page states that it has disabled my "outdated version" and asks for me to upgrade. What do?

    Background:
    I have had this problem for several months, now. This problem began when an update came for Java on the Firefox Plugin-check. I promptly installed the new Java update. But the Firefox update wouldn't register that I downloaded it, even after I refreshed the page. So, I got rid of the old Java, and downloaded the new Java again. When the page continued to display the same message it had before, I downloaded it a few more times. Finally, Firefox stopped saying that I was out of date. Then a few weeks later maybe, I check Firefox Plugin, and on the page it says that I am outdated in Java. So I downloaded Java again. But Java was still in the list, with red and said that it needed to be updated. I restarted the computer. Then, I restarted Mozilla Firefox with no add-ons. When Java still appeared that it needed to be updated, I gave up and didn't do a thing more about it.
    Problem:
    Today I decided to check my plugins. Java was not in update the list, and at the top a banner stated, "Missing JAVA? For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Java. Please upgrade to the latest version." I clicked "upgrade to the latest version" and was led to the Java page. I clicked the download button. My cache stated that this was the (6) download of that same Java plugin (see background). I chose to re-download it anyways. But Firefox still insists that I have not downloaded it.
    Question:
    Do I need to go to the control panel of Java and change something? Do I need to fix some setting on Firefox? Should I disable Java altogether, delete all Java-related files on my computer, and start all over with Java? What should I do?

    Try using http://ninite.com/java/ninite.exe to install Java. Please note that even though you download it you have to double click it to get it to run and install.

  • Why does plugin check show me an 'unknown plugin' with no description?

    I check to see if my plugins are up to date.
    The response includes two entries labeled 'Unknown Plugins':
    Plugin Status Action
    [blue lego brick] Intel web components {...} unknown [? Research]
    [blue lego brick] {this field is blank! ..???} unknown [? Research]
    The first is bad enough: if it's 'Intel', how can it be 'unknown'?
    ... but the second is worse: how can one 'research' an 'unknown' something where there is no text description about it?
    Thanks for listening.

    Okay. Now do the same with '''about:plugins'''
    There is no copy button, so you will have to mark the page manually.
    pendantry, you are correct in wanting to check what is on your computer.
    A great many mal-ware, spy, virus and all kinds of junk can end up in the
    computer. Some without the user knowing it is there, For example, the
    last time you installed something on the computer, did you select the
    '''Recommended''' option? With some installers, using the recommended
    set up will install what you want. '''BUT''' it may also install other things like
    add ware.

  • Mozilla Plugin Check page cannot "see" my plugins

    I first noticed this when a video site apparently could not "see" my Flash plugin. So, I went to the Mozilla Plugin Check page, and it can't see ANY of my plugins! WTF? I can find them no problem...they ARE there.

    That may be a problem with JavaScript.
    Do you see all the plugins on the about:plugins page listed?
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • My plugin for Adobe flash player on Fox states out of date -but Ive just installed latest 1 on my IE browser. Why doesnt Fox accept this & not keep asking me to update it?

    Firefox can't accept that my laptop has now installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player - the plug-in states it is out-of-date & numbers the old one. Ive tried all ways to rectify this but nothing works... Fox still states that I have to update it...

    Thank you for your interest. I'd been into the getadobe.com address & downloaded it successfully on IE. The problem had been that it hadnt altered the update on Firefox plug-in. I typed-in your link from Firefox, then it came-up on IE. So I went through the motions to download again & the tab stated it was going to be to IE. So I came out - opened-up Firefox again & got onto getadobe.com again, but on Firefox - downloaded it & it worked.... The plug-in check confirmed it'd updated to latest version.
    So thank you, TonyE, if you hadnt responded, I wouldnt have realised that I'd to download whilst on the Firefox browser.

  • Why does the start up web page say my Firefox is out of date; and the link I click to to fix it says it IS up to date? Was the first one a lie?

    Which is the lie, the first page or the second web page?
    The details are that my first time user impression is that Firefox is a liar, or that the web page is developed by liars; or that the program doesn't function well as it said that my Firefox was out of date, but the link to fix the problem said that is was up to date. So, the only purpose of the statement that it was out of date was to get me to register, and that the company doesn't care what I think about it. I am totally open to another logical explanation. I mean you could give me an illogical explanation based on emotion but I'll just reject it and then uninstall Firefox because, well, that should be obvious. So, if it wasn't a lie, then the second page was a lie.... which is it?

    If you get a pop-up message asking to update Firefox or plugins then such a message is likely a scam and you should never respond to such an alert to avoid getting infected with malware.
    *Only update Firefox via "Help > About" or by downloading and installing Firefox from the Mozilla server and never via a pop-up or link on a web page.
    *Plugins should only be updated via the plugin itself or by visiting the home page of the plugin.
    Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
    Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
    All these programs have free versions.
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

  • Hi, my MacBook says Adobe Flash Player is out of date???

    Hi,
    First, I got a message saying that Adobe Flash Player was out of date.
    Then, when I went to the Adobe Flash website, it said "Adobe® Flash® Player requires Mac OS 10.6 or higher."
    My computer is a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8.
    Does this mean I have to buy a new computer to get Adobe Flash Player???
    I find it strange, because my MacBook says Flash Player requires Mac OS 10.6 or higher, but my iPad, which is an iPad 2, by the way, says that Adobe Flash Player is not supported on my device.
    What is going on?? How can I get Flash Player on both my MacBook, but also my iPad as well???
    Does this mean I have to buy a new computer and a new tablet???
    Is there any other way to get Flash Player or to view videos or video-like things??
    Is there a way to manually install Flash Player??
    What is the issue here???
    Would anyone help me out on this??
    Thanks,
    Bonnie

    Hi Niel,
    1. What is the best DVD to buy?? Because I realize there are different versions, like Mac OS X 10.6 that you mentioned, but there seem to be other versions as well.
    2. What is the most updated version that works for MY computer???
    3. Is there a difference between the different version, or only that one is the newest, and one is less expensive??
    Thanks,
    Bonnie

  • HT3180 setting date and time - my apple tv get stuck and says it needs to set the network date and time.  Does anyone know how to do this?

    My apple tv gets stuck and says it need to set the date and time on the network.  Does anyone know how to do this?

    I was able to get my Apple TV working again by downgrading the firmware following the instructions in this message:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20008613#20008613
    In case that message disappears, here's my translation:
    1. Connect your Apple TV to your computer via USB. Don't plug in the power cable.
    2. Download the older 5.0.2 firmware from Apple here:
    5.0.2 (Apple TV 2): AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
    5.0.2 (Apple TV 3): AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
    3. Open iTunes and select the Apple TV. Hold down the option key and press the restore button at the same time.
    4. In the dialog that opens select the firmware that you downloaded.
    5. The restore process will take a few minutes. Once it's done plug your Apple TV back into your TV. If the date and time message persists just press the menu button to skip it. This got mine working again.
