Possible to update Flash without admin rights AND without internal server?

We have numerous laptops and tablets that are rarely, if ever, connected to our internal network. All of our users are standard users; our users are not allowed to be administrator users.
Nonetheless, we'd like Flash Player to automatically update itself from Adobe's servers all the same.
Is it possible to have Flash Player automatically update for non-administrator users without connecting to our internal server? It seems like we could somehow use the Flash updater service, which runs as the SYSTEM account, to do this.

Hi,

How do I update Flash Player ActiveX & Plugin from an internal server at once?

At work we're using both, Flash Player ActiveX and Plugin, because of the use of different Browsers. We have set up a Background Update from our internal server.
By updating via "FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe", only the ActiveX Extension gets updated and the Plugin doesn't.
But if I do it in that order: Install ActiveX → Update → Install Plugin → Update, both Extensions get updated.
Here's the mms.cfg:
AutoUpdateDisable=0
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
SilentAutoUpdateServerDomain=[our server]
SilentAutoUpdateVerboseLogging=1
Is there a possibility to update both Extensions from an internal server at once?

Hi Jak,
Normally, the Plugin will update about an hour after the ActiveX, however, I'm seeing some codes in the log file I'd like to investigate further. Please provide the following:
Post your currentmajor.xml file using these instructions How to share a document. Please don't copy and paste the contents, upload the actual file.
Screenshot of your server directory structure for the Background Updates. See How to post a screenshot in the forum
What is the version number of the FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe file? The version number is in the 'details' tab when viewing file properties (right-click > Properties > Details)This file will be in C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash on a 32-bit OS machine and in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash on a 64-bit OS machine.
Screenshot of the \Macromed\Flash directory. If 64-bit OS, post screenshots of both 32- and 64-bit locations.
Thank you in advance.

Error 1321 when updating Adobe Acrobat Pro even if profile has admin rights and parent folder has full access privileges.

Error 1321 when updating Adobe Acrobat Pro even if profile has admin rights and parent folder has full access privileges.
Exact error below:
error 1321: the installer has insufficient privileges to modify the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\I386\[dll file]
Thanks in advance!

My first thought is to not just apply permissions to the folder but be sure to apply them to all objects inside them. It would be interesting to see if you can rename this file, then rename it back to its original name; this would test permissions nondestructively.

How can I update Flash WITHOUT installing Chrome?

How can I update Flash WITHOUT installing Chrome? I keep getting update messages. I go throught the download and install process but there is no option to un-check installing Chrome. I don't want Chrome. I'm not asking for Chrome. I just want to update Flash.

There are a few threads around here with this same issue, and as far as I know Adobe has not addressed it adequately. Many of us, when we are prompted with an update for Flash, are not given the option to opt out of installing google toolbar and google chrome.
Adobe is playing cute, pretending to be surprised at such reports. They always demand screenshots of it, and then ignore them when the screenshots are posted. Then demand screenshots in the next thread with the same issue, feigning surprise that such an isue could occur. Sometimes they insist it isnt happening or it is somehow user error (as if it is user error to simply allow the update from their app to install after getting the update message from their app! )
The problem , in my case, was that the update goes to a URL that autoselects chrome and toolbar. I found if I manually edited the URL, that it would not automatically install chrome and toolbar.
Basically the URL has to be manually edited , so take out the " &a=Google_Toolbar_7.4&a=Google_Chrome_22.0_IE_Browser " at the end AND the "&dualoffer=true&chromedefault=true" bit in the middle. Then it will give you the opt-out. Then do make sure to uncheck the box, obviously And it is obvious that the users are not doing this on purpose, this is built into Adobe's updater, somewhere. I went into a little more detail in http://forums.adobe.com/message/5274050

Updating Flash without Admin Rights

I have Firefox installed with standard user privileges. I used to be able to extract the "Flash Player.plugin" from the dmg file and place it in "~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins" ... but now I can only get a file called "Flash Player.plugin.lzma"
I can't install flash with admin privileges. So what can I do?
== I updated Firefox... the whatsnew page said I should update Flash.

Suddenly lose admin rights, and odd occurences

I have no clue what has happened here so any help would really be appreciated.
I log in as normal with my admin account. Everything seems fine. Then after a few minutes I suddenly notice the admin rights I had a second ago have disappeared, even though I am still logged in and have not touched a thing. Something somewhere has changed and I am unable to run some programs, change some system settings etc.
Also during this 5 minute period my System Preferences changes. When I log in it is initially as I recognise it and as it has always been. After about five mins (and at the same time as the admin rights go) an "Ink" icon to the Handwriting recognition program has appeared. I have no tablet or anything similar and never have had!. In the sharing options my settings are different too. Things i had turned on are now off. (When i re log in again, for the first 5 mins everything is back to normal again)
In the 5 mins that I have rights, I have run system optimzer and repaired permission, prebindings, run maintenance scripts etc but it still happens.
Has anyone got the faintest idea what is happening. I literally had a working Imac, went away for a couple of days and come back to this. Help!

Within the first five minutes of logging in, open the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder as well as another application, and see what account the second application is listed as running as. After the five minutes are up, launch a third application and check the same thing.
In addition, around the time that you lose administrator access to the machine, check whether the name of the item in the Finder's sidebar changes, and whether you lose administrator access in a program which is running when the five minutes run out.
As well as that, within the first five minutes, issue the following Terminal command:
sudo tail /private/etc/sudoers
Post back with the complete results of this command, including whether or not you were prompted for a password when running it.

I am receiving 2 errors 500 internal server error nginx and 404 internal server error nginx

I also cannot go from and email message in outlook to the youtube website nor can I get youtube.com to come up. That page gives me a 404 internal server error nginx. Until the last few days I have been able to get to you tube and have not received these errors.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Some have been reported to cause these errors.<br />
Panda anti virus may cause the 404 internal server error nginx<br />
I can't remember which software can be causing the 500 internal server error, but it is usually caused by security software adding a proxy to monitor internet traffic

Is it possible to update itunes without getting Mavericks? I have an issue with my iPhone.

I recently updated to ios8.0.2 for my iphone 5s. And now when I plug it into my macbook, itunes prompts me to update itunes because ios8 apparently doesn't allow me to sync the previous version of itunes. But the new itunes requires updating to Mavericks, which I really DO NOT want to do, mostly because I do run Bootcamp a lot and start up in windows from time to time. I've heard people having issues with bootcamp and Mavericks, like having to re install Windows/Parallels/etc. and I am not ready for that mess. I don't have access to my windows 7 serial number anymore (it was given to me by a teacher awhile back with whom I don't have contact with anymore). I'm just ultimately trying to avoid screwing up bootcamp/windows, losing files, and having to purchase windows if the worst case scenario happens.
I considered just using itunes in windows, but on the windows side of things, itunes wont give me the notification/option to transfer all my purchases from my iphone, so there goes that. If there is a solution to just transferring purchases, I'd much rather go that route than the mess of mavericks.

Possible to update gui with new thread AND halt program execution?

Hello, my problem is the following:
I have a JButton that performs a sql query and retrieves information from a database, while this is done I would like to update a JLabel with information that the query is in progress. I have got this working but the problem is that I would like the main thread to wait until the search thread has finished execution, of course this inflictes with the gui update... look below for code:
//class that synchronizes the threads when retrieving data
public class SynkroniseradVektorKlass
   private Vector verde = new Vector();
   private boolean inteFerdig=true;
   public SynkroniseradVektorKlass(boolean inteFerdig)
      this.inteFerdig=inteFerdig;
   //sets the value of the vector
   public synchronized void settVerde(Vector verde)
       this.verde=verde;
       //set the boolean to false so the wait() can be avoided
       inteFerdig=false;
       //notify all threads that we have retrieved a value
       notifyAll();
    public synchronized Vector returneraVerde()
        //if no value has been retrieved, wait
        if(inteFerdig)
           try
                wait();
           catch(InterruptedException ie){}
    //when waiting is done, return value
    return verde;
//class that retrieves data and prints it
//not really necessary here but useful to check that the SynkronisedVektorKlass
// works
public class TradHarDataKommit extends Thread
   private SynkroniseradVektorKlass hemtaData;
   public TradHarDataKommit(SynkroniseradVektorKlass hemtaData)
      this.hemtaData=hemtaData;
   public void run()
       System.out.println("Thread two begins");
       System.out.println("data == "+hemtaData.returneraVerde());
       System.out.println("Thread two done");
//class that communicates with the database and retrieves the data

//starts timer task 2 after a second and restarts every second after
timer.schedule(task2,1000,1000);
//set the sqlthread to daemon
korTrad.setDaemon(true);
//starts the thread
korTrad.start();
//I would like that the program halts here until korTrad is done
//because the data retrieved are to be used further in the program
//There is no point in using join(); because this would halt the update of the guiif anyone got any ideas how to solve this please help me
ps. sorry about my english, its not my native language

Was not able to review all of your code. But take a look at wait() and update() methods - they should solve what you need.

Unable to bulk copy data. - Random failure, running as SQL Agent with Admin rights and timeouts=0

Hello,
My setup is SQL Server 2012 (11.0.5522) and SSIS, but still running the 2008 R2 created packages. The server is Windows Server 2008 R2 with 32GBs of memory.
I am running a control package which calls 4 packages at once to run simultaneously for performance reasons. It runs every day with issues, but maybe once a month I get the failure:
'Unable to bulk copy data. You may need to run this package as an administrator.'
The SQL Agent is setup as admin, it has access to the create global objects the source and destination databases are on the same server and the timeout is set to zero. Each package has the standard batch size and takes about 3-4 minutes to complete.
Its not easily re-creatable and always runs fine when I re-start the package.
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards, Graham.

Possible to update Creator without access to internet?

Hi.
Does anyone know how I can update my Creator when I'm not connected to internet?
Ingrid

Hi again.
Seems a bit strange that I have to install Creator on another computer which I can connect to Internet to get the .nmb-files.. Hope someone at sun can change that in the future :)

is it possibe?
if so how ?

It is no different thing than Flash or Flex apart from the libraries/Classes which will help you interact with the Native OS.
Few additional features AIR will provide are
File handling,
Database connectivity,
Native OS API's like accessing Clipboard,
Native dragging,

Proxy between Flash Media Live Encoder and Adobe Media Server

ciao,
I encode from a pc with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder to a server with Adobe Media Server. And this configuration works well.
The actual configuration is:
1) computer A (es: 192.168.1.5 - gw 192.168.1.254) point to computer B
with FMS url: rtmp://COMPUTER_B_WAN_IP/live and StreamName
test?user=useruser&password=userpassword
2) computer B (es: 210.22.11.134) with Adobe Media Server
But now I need to encode from Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder (computer A) to a pc (computer P) and then redirect the rtmp stream to the Adobe Media Server (computer B). Those 3 computers have different lan configurations. If I use rtmpsuck (http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/) on computer P, can I use it like proxy to redirect the computer A rtmp flow to computer B?
I suppose:
1) computer A (es: 192.168.1.5 - gw 192.168.1.254) point to computer P with FMS url: rtmp://COMPUTER_P_WAN_IP/live and StreamName test?user=useruser&password=userpassword
2) on computer P (es: 10.10.10.8 - gw 10.10.10.254) I install
rtmpsuck, I open port 1935 on his firewall and I configure iptables
like: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 1935 -j DNAT
--to-destination COMPUTER_B_WAN_IP:1935
3) on computer B I do nothing.
Now I have 3 questions:
1- Can it works?
2- On computer P (the proxy) I must install rtmpsuck and rtmpsrv or I can install only rtmpsuck? I don't necessary need to record the stream
3- Is there another way to do this? Is there another software to redirect the stream?
Thankyou
M.

Please update us when FMLE OSX is deployed. BTW, I get that the server market is dominated by LINUX/WINDOWS and this is a FMS add on. But, my shops creative workflow is Mac based for obvious reasons. Encoding is part of our editing workflow and thus needs to be mac based. Throw us a bone please.

• If you have not already done so, restart Mac and
    try again. If the iSight still does not work, continue.
• If Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
   suggestions do not help you, (the PMU/SMC "reset" suggested
   there often restores normal function,) continue with the following.
• Use Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
   download and apply the latest Combo Update for
   your OS. Currently, the latest SL Combo is here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
• Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
   that completes the Combo update.
Properly applying the Combo version of updates
can sometimes correct problems like yours.
