Prompted to update Reader to 9.4.6 already have Reader X, Mac OS X

On my OS X 10.6.7 iMac, each time I power up, I get an Adobe Updater prompt to update Adobe Reader to version 9.4.6.
But I already have Adobe Acrobat X Pro10.1.1 and Adobe Reader plugin 10.1.1 installed.
If there's another, older Adobe Reader 9.x, I don't see in in Spotlight; what should I search for?
Note that if I do let the Adobe Updater download and try to install that update, each time it fails.
Two more strange pieces:
If I try to run Adobe Updater.app, which is in the Adobe Updater6 subfolde of an Adobe Utilities folder, I get an "Adobe Updater quit unexpectedly".
In ~Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat there's a folder named 9.0_x86 -- as well as the expected 10.0.
(Since I cannot get it to run, I cannot be sure that it's that Adobe Updater.app that tries to install the Reader 9.4.6 update -- or whether that installer is for the Adobe Creative Suite Design Standard (CS 5.5) -- or both.

Of course that's one of the first things I checked, and I couldn't find any such copy. I've now uninstalled all Adobe products I could find, restarted, re-installed them all include Acrobat X Pro and Acrobat Reader X. Now on restart I do not seem to be getting the update popup for 9.4.6.
Rotten way to kill a couple of hours!
Perhaps there was an older version of Reader bundled with one of the Creative Suite applications that I had -- but I didn't find one before.
We'll see!

Why do I get a prompt to create an iCloud account when I already have one?

When I try to turn on notes so my iPhone and iPad will sync, I am prompted to create an account when I already have one. Why? How can I do this?

Have you created an iCloud account? This is not the account or ID you use for iTunes. And where exactly are you turning on notes? In what area within settings of your devices?

How do i fix the message to update java deployment kit when I already have the lastest version of java installed?

I keep getting a message that "An important update is available for Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.400.43". I click on "Update Now" and I get taken to the Mozilla Plug-in check page. A brief message shows at the top of the page that tells me some plugins are out of date and then disappears. The plugin checks show all plugins are up to date. I have uninstalled/reinstalled Java more than once and run a registry cleaner, but once I install Java the same messages appear. I am on a Windows XP machine and I am running an older version of Firefox (9.0) because addons for some of my other software don't work with newer versions of firefox. Can I get rid of the message or do I have to live with it because I use an older version of firefox?

Please update to Firefox 23.0.1 IMMEDIATELY. Old versions are extremely vulnerable to security issues, and all your add-ons should work if they work in Firefox 10 anyway.

Quicktime error. It says I need to update to 7.7 but I already have 7.7 installed. HELP

Quicktime is no longer working properly. I get a notice that I need to update to 7.7, but my mac says I have 7.7. How can I Fix this? I'n NOT tech savy, and my live in tech support (my kids) had the audacity to grow up and move away, so please be gentle...
I have OS 10.5.8, Perian and Flip4mac wmv installed by apple at the store. I was having lots oF trouble so Apple replaced my keyboard, wiped my computer and reinstalled the OS and did all the Updates. They also added Flip4mac wmv player and perian. Everything worked great For a while but it's getting messy again. The lower case F has stopped working when I type online, but it works when I type otherwise. (Not sure iF that's related.)

What is the GarageBand version that your friend is using?
If it is GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5, you can buy GarageBand '11 as a boxed retail version with the iLIfe '11 bundle, e.g. from Amazon.
Then you can upgrade GarageBand '11 to 6.0.5, using this upgrader from the Support page:
GarageBand 6.0.5
GarageBand 6.0.5 will work well with your system. But if your friend is using the newest GarageBand 10, this will not help. Then ask your friend to send you audio files for each track, so you can recreate the project from the audio. Or your friend could also use GarageBand '11 for the projects you want to share, that will run well in all newer MacOS X versions, even with GarageBand 10.0 installed on the same system.

Updating app-v packages on clients already deployed to.

hi
I'm deploying a few app-v packages..
If I make some changes to the osd file for instance..
how do I get this update through to the clients that already have the app-v package deployed?
Kindest regards, Martin

You need to supersede the application. So create a new application and then set supersede rules in the properties of the new application. Browse to the app to replace and then in the New Deployment Type drop down select the new application.
Once that is done remove the deployment of the old application as this is no longer required.

Reader 11 - Disable prompt for updates when installing?

I have used the Customization Wizard to customize all of our Acrobat 8,9,10,11 installs of both Pro and Std without any problems. But when I customize the Reader 11 install so that it does not download updates, the setup program still prompts me with the question about updating. I have tried 11.0.0 and 11.0.2 with similar behavior and would like to make sure the installs are consistent across the organization by not prompting the installer with this question. (Yes, I have verified the Disable Product Updates is checked.)
How can I banish this dialog from the Reader install?

I would ask why you need to allow installation in UI mode, but assume that you have valid reasons for that.
Since you are using CW, you can open Direct Edit view in CW, go to InstallUISequence table, find SelectARMMode record and change it's condition to be NEVER

Adobe Reader XI keeps prompting to update to version 11.0.3

Adobe Reader XI keeps prompting to update to version 11.0.3 even though the installed version is already 11.0.3.
How can I stop this unnecessary update prompting occurring?

Thanks for the response Stacy and Bill.
The link to disable updates is giving a 404 error and if I go to the Knowledgebase link and search for “disable automatic updates | acrobat, reader” I just get links to forum threads.
I have attached a snip of my Check for updates preference. I don’t want to go for the no notification option and I don’t trust the auto download options given that I keep getting so many notifications that the same update is available as the version I have: I fear that would simply continuously download the same update over and over.
I’ll try the link you gave me again later to see if I can reach that page.
Thanks again,
Mike

Being prompted to update Flash, ignore? v11.2.202.228 and v11.2.202.229 Google Chrome

Just prompted by Adobe that an upgrade to Adobe Flash Player is available – within the bullets say includes security enhancements.
Two weeks ago I was made aware that there were security vulnerabilities with Flash. My laptop was infected (3/26). One of the recommendations from my anti-virus software company was to keep all Adobe products updated, especially Flash. Also, I was given the recommendation to consider choosing a less common browser than IE; he used Google Chrome which has its own security features. I had used Chrome once before when it was beta but downloaded the new Chrome, set security settings and testing it out. A few days later, someone I know also in the IS community said their company (a large international company) is uninstalling all Adobe products from all of their employee computers completely.
In reading the Developer Release Notes, this upgrade is for v11.2.202.228.
The Adobe Flash website section detects I have v11.2.202.229 installed. The latest version listed underneath was .228. I questioned how I could have a newer, higher number, version if .228 is the latest release? This was odd, needed an answer and to verify I was current.
In reading the Security Bulletin, it says… “These priority 2 updates address critical vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player 11.1.102.63 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris, and Adobe Flash Player 11.1.111.7 and earlier versions for Android 3.x and 2.x. These vulnerabilities could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system… … …Adobe recommends users of Adobe Flash Player 11.1.102.63 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh and Linux update to Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.228 … … ...can install the update via the update mechanism within the product when prompted. Google Chrome will be updated automatically, so no user action is required. Google Chrome users can verify that they have updated to Google Chrome version 18.0.1025.151, which includes Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.229.”
This answered my question. I am current…and then I found an Adobe forum thread asking if 11.2.202.229 files installed in the correct place. I am deducing from the bulletin that the v.229 is designed with content or files specific for Google Chrome. And I am also deducing I was prompted that a new update is available because Flash Auto Update is looking for any version other than or is “not v.228” and not looking for “both v.228 AND v.229 files” on one’s computer? Concluding that I should ignore this prompt, check “do not remind me about this update” now and in the future if using Chrome [but I would still always need to verify Flash has been updated on my computer or verify I have the latest version of Google Chrome, before ignoring]? And if I do choose not to continue using Google Chrome (uninstall), I should then resume with manual updates. Please provide feedback.
If true, my recommendation to Adobe would be to design the Flash Auto Update to search for *all* versions related to the latest release to avoid a false prompt from appearing and/or *also include within the text of the standard Auto-update prompt’s window the same verbiage as within the Security Bulletin (which is not normally read by users) regarding Google Chrome, directing that no user action is required. It may or may not be harmful for someone to proceed with installing v.228 when they already have v.229… meanting it may not delete or replace any important files specific to Google Chrome and protecting against security vulnerability as it might be that .229 may only have a few additional files. *Another recommendation would be that both the .228 and .229 v for Google Chrome be listed as the latest release on Adobe Flash website page and release content. This may have been a timing issue. Google/Adobe might want to re-consider the timing/order in which they deploy their versions or re-consider the auto-update feature within Google Chrome all in itself to avoid confusion, avoid the need to then verify it anyway afterwards (an added step in itself) and avoid Google Chrome users that are completely unaware of this and what action to take, from updating to a different incompatible version that could possibly conflict with the requirements of Google Chrome or its security. However, everything would be resolved by the first recommendation. I did wonder why I just got prompted today for a release on March 28th, but luckily it looks like I have the latest version. And I did find it interesting how I noticed underneath the install for Adobe AIR that you may have to disable your anti-virus before installing.
I look forward to your feedback to my question confirming whether or not I should just to ignore this update. In effort to prevent PCs from future attacks, I provided my feedback and recommendations. Thank you.

Hi thanks, I have Vista 64 bit. Both of these directories or folders exist. Here are the files they contain.
\System 32\:
Flash64_11_1_102.ocx
FlashUtil64_11_1_102_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil64_11_1_102_ActiveX (2/19/2012)…v11.1.102 so should I install.
FlashInstall
\SysWOW64\:
Flash9f.ocx
Flash11f.ocx
FlashUtil9f (10/16/2008)
FlashUtil11e_ActiveX (2/6/2012)
FlashUtil11f_ActiveX (2/16/2012)
FlashUtil11f_ActiveX.dll
FlashInstall
install
Chrome was installed after 3/26. I am guessing these are for Active X for IE and they don’t look like the latest version. As I mentioned, when I checked with Adobe to see what version is running on my system it only displays the latest version for Google Chrome which is a current one. So one (a user) wouldn’t know of the other versions that need to be updated. You are correct that I thought there was only one version on my system. Thanks for informing me, I didn’t even search or think of that. If I forcefully download the update anyway, will it update both of these directories?
Also when you say, “Manually downloading or updating Flash Player from Adobe will not affect Chrome's installation of Flash Player.” I realize moving forward it wouldn’t affect future Chrome installs but did you also mean downloading .228 when I have .229 will not affect this currently the installed version?..…if built-in, does Google Chrome store any files on my system or is it completely built-in?

Reboot your iPad and then see if you can set the security questions.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
