Reader 11.0.03 Update?

We use System Center Update Publisher (SCUP) to deploy Adobe Reader updates. We have several machines with Reader 11.0.02 that fail to install the update saying that it is the wrong version:
"Adobe Reader XI (11.0.01) - Update '{AC76BA86-7AD7-0000-2550-7A8C40011003}' could not be installed. Error code 1642." The log shows 11.0.01, but these machines are actually 11.0.02.
I noticed a couple other threads that seemed to suggest that you must uninstall Reader 11.0.02 and 11.0.01 from client computers to then be able to install the 11.0.03 update. I'm pretty sure that I misunderstood because security bulletin released by Adobe says "Adobe has released security updates for Adobe Reader and Acrobat XI (11.0.02) and earlier versions for Windows"
(http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb13-15.html).
And really that would be totally ridiculous to have to uninstall previous Reader updates just to install a new update.
Also, our software update scans (through SCCM - imported into WSUS via SCUP) are showing that these Reader 11.0.02 machines don't need the 11.0.03 update. Again, based on the bulletin, that doesn't seem right either.
So my question is:
Am I going to have to deploy a separate script to our enterprise that uninstalls Reader 11.0.02 and 11.0.01 from client computers just so the 11.0.03 updates will install?
-Or-
Are our computers with Reader 11.0.02 really OK without 11.0.03?

I tried something new and it seemed to work for me this time. So now, I think I have some more information that gets me closer to understanding the issue we are seeing.
Our packaging team has recently taken over the packaging of Adobe Reader and I noticed that they have a different AIPs for each version 11.0.x. When I was testing, I previously uninstalled Reader, and reinstalled it from the 11.0.01 slip-streamed AIP that they created (not thinking that it would make a difference) before trying to install 11.0.02 and 11.0.03.
This time, I completely uninstalled Adobe Reader and reinstalled the base install (11.0.0) and then installed all the updates in order, and this time it worked as it should.
So... I believe the reason it failed was that I was trying to apply the update to a client that had a "slip-streamed" installation. If the client started out with the base 11.0.0 installation to begin with, then I'm thinking we shouldn't encounter the issue.
I'm still a little currious as to why the updates won't actually update a computer with a slipstreamed Reader installation (assuming that is the issue).

Adobe Reader 11.0.03 update

Simple nuisance really - I had Adobe Reader 11.0.03 update installed when I first received the notification. It successfully installed, so I believe when I select the About menu item and it indicates such.
Why then, every week since then, I get an update notification for Adobe Reader 11.0.03. I installed it every time for the first couple weeks thinking it was a valid update and not paying attention to the release number. The release number has been 11.0.03 for quite a while and I now realize something is not right.
FWIW - Adobe Reader works fine on my machine.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

If you're using Windows, 11.0.5 is the latest version (11.0.4 was a software update and 11.0.5 was a security fix)
You can download the FULL installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
FIRST, you'll want to download and run the Adobe Cleaner to remove the old version. http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

I installed Adobe Flash Player 11.7.700.169 onto my Macbook Air (OS 10.7.5) and when I went onto website it still read that I need update. I've tried 3x and still same message.

I successfully installed Adobe Flash Player 11.7.700.169 onto my Macbook Air 2012 (OS 10.7.5) and when I went onto website (Morrision Planetarium-California Academy of Science) it still read that I need update. I've tried 3x and still same message. Is there something I am doing wrong? Quite frustrating!

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 4.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
2. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
3. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
4. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
5. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
6. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

Some words are not highlighting on my read-aloud epubs after updating IOS 6.0.1 and iBooks 3.0.1

Some words are not highlighting on my read-aloud epubs after updating IOS 6.0.1 and iBooks 3.0.1 on both my iPad 2 and iPad 3. They are working absolutely fine earlier. I even updated the latest version of iBooks 3.0.2 but nothing is working. Can anybody help?

Hi spati,
I ran into this problem as well. Seems like something funky going on with iBooks 3. Anyways, I had to tweak my read-aloud clip starts in the smil. Where the word was not highlighting, I added a few milliseconds to the timing until the word started highlighting again. Not the most ideal solution, and not sure what exactly causes it because 90% of the words were just fine, but it seemed to fix the problem. Note prior to the problem happening, I had all my clip start timings = clip end timings for the previous word, so there were no gaps.
Regards,
Tim

How do I get PSE to read tag info on updated jpg files?

Using PSE9 on 2 PCs. Files are stored locally on each, and updates synced via Windows Mesh.
Use case issue:
1) Add tag to jpg on PC1 using PSE.
2) Execute PSE "write to file" command before closing app
3) Confirm on PC2 via Windows Explorer that tag info is updated on local file
4) Open PSE on PC2, bur additional tag info is not recognized by PSE.
5) Tried to re-import test files in PSE using "Get Files" function, but tag data was still not read by PSE.
6) Manually added new tag to tag list, reloaded PSE, but new tag info still not read on file.
7) Ran Optimize and Repair catalog functions, but problem persisits.
How do I get PSE to read tag info on updated jpg files without rebuilding the entire catalog every time I edit a file?

Simple : you can't.
Why ? Because the tags are stored in the database of the catalog. When you 'write' metadata to files, you can see it does work. The new tags are written to the files. But the new tags are ignored by the catalog in the second computer. You'd have to delete the file entry from the catalog and reimport it, supposing the tag is already in the tag list. Otherwise the tag would appear in the 'imported tags' category.
The Organizer is not meant to be a multi-user database.
What you can do to share media and catalogs between two computers having the same Elements version is to store the media files and the catalog on an external drive you can plug to each computer when needed. Note that the drives should be recognized with the same drive letter.

Any ideas creating app to read log file when updated?

Afternoon all,
I have been asked to write a java app which will read the contents of the server log file every time the log file is updated by the server. The app will be deployed onto WebSphere Application Server.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as I have never written anything like this before and I don't know where to start. Any help will be much appreciated.

I agree with most of what you've said but unfortunately I don't have a say in what the company wants. However, I am interested in the appender idea, perhaps they may go for that if I suggest it.I'd say it'll take you a day to read up about Log4J and how to write basic appenders, and another day to write your own appender for this problem. Compare that to the effort of writing something to poll a log file, re-read it constantly and update another file, operations which will get slower and slower as they go along. That's a fair amount more code than a single appender would be. There's how to sell it to your company.
Can you give me a brief overview in how it works?Log4J uses objects called appenders, which take logging info - generated by your container - and do something with it. It ships with some appenders already in it, for writing to stdout, files, sockets and databases. You can also write your own appenders that do something more than these standard ones do. You write logging code in your application - in this case, your container already does this so you don't have to - and the configuration of Log4J decides what happens to these logging messages. That's what you're interested in. You could write an appender - a simple class - that takes raw logging messages in, and writes them out to file in whatever format you want
Come to think of it, depending on how complex the required XML is, you may even be able to do this without writing any code at all. You can write formatting patterns in the Log4J config that existing file appenders will use to write your XML files
A bit of an abstract explanation, I guess. Your best bet is to first ascertain that Log4J is indeed in use, and then read the documentation, which is surprisingly good for an Apache project :-)

I've seen reports that networked based users cannot use Reader under Windows. The same may be true on a Mac. For some uses, Preview will work, for others I don't know. You could try to install Reader into the local applications directory as opposed the regular applications directory and see if that works.

Spaces in URLs problem w/ new Reader X and XI updates

Can anyone else confirm that with the new Reader X and XI updates, spaces in URLs get encoded as %2520 instead of %20 causing errors when the links are followed? This was/is not a problem with the earlier version of X nor with other pdf viewers. I believe that this is a bug.

I am having the same problem. Details ....
I have created two PDFs in the same folder (I used Power Point to create the contents, and saved as PDF). I want to be able to click a link in the first PDF and cause the second PDF to be opened.
Everything works fine if there are no blank spaces in the filename of the second PDF (i.e., the target of the link in the first PDF), and no blank spaces in any part of the full path to the second PDF.
The problem occurs if there are blank spaces in the second PDF's filenames or full path.
If there are blank spaces (in either filename or path), then when I open the first PDF and hover over the link to the second (target) .... I can see that FOR THE PATH, each blank space has been converted to a %20. FOR THE FILENAME of the target PDF, the blank space shows as a blank space (i.e., not shown as a %20).
When I click the link in the first PDF, my default browser (Firefox 19.0.2) opens and displays a dialog box tells me that it cannot find the file in question (i.e., the second PDF).
The file name in the dialog box has each blank space (in both filename and path) converted to a %20 .... HOWEVER, the contents of the browser's address bar has each blank space converted to a %2520.
It is that address of the second PDF shown in the browser's address bar (with each blank replaced by a %2520) that cannot be found. If I manually alter the contents of the address bar, and remove each 25 (so that each blank is replaced only by a %20) and then hit the Enter key, the second PDF is successfully displayed in the browser.
Firefox now has it's own PDF viewer. However, I disabled the internal Firefox PDF viewer, and set the default PDF viewer to the Adobe viewer. Problem did not go away. So, I do not think the fault is in the Firefox PDF viewer.
The previous post stated that Adobe has acknowledged this as a bug. Any word on when/if the bug will be fixed.
The only work-around I have found is to use filenames and paths that have no blanks. But if one is creating PDFs for customers, then while one might be able to use filenames with no blanks, one cannot insure that customers will not place the PDFs into folders that have noblanks in their paths.
Any other suggestions while we wait for a fix?

Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro updates for 11.0.10 being pushed out through SolarWinds Patch Manager are not being recognized as applicable.

I am trying to update our Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro to 11.0.10 using the default MSP packages with SolarWinds Patch Manager. All of the systems keep reporting as 'NOT APPLICABLE'. All of the workstations have Reader11.0.09, with about 10% still on 11.0.08 (due to the fact that the reader 11.0.09 package only patched about 2/3 of the systems). All systems that have Acrobat Pro are 11.0.09.
In SolarWinds I am using the "Adobe Systems, Inc. Packages" node.
Adobe Systems Acrobat 11 Catalog
Adobe Systems Reader 11 Catalog
and the SW Patch Manager downloads the msp's straight from Adobe.
I have checked the msp's manually and they will update at least back to 11.0.07 in Reader, and 11.0.0 in Acrobat Pro. (I had an old stand alone system that still had Reader 11.0.07, and I did a new install of Pro and went straight to update 11.0.10)
The SolarWinds Tech said, "Okay. That content is produced by Adobe. Any questions concerning applicability logic or diagnosing why a package reports as NotApplicable when that's not expected would need to be directed to Adobe, as they are solely responsible for that content and its behavior".
I am new to SolarWinds Patch Manager, and any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you are attempting to use the SCUP catalogs outside of the MS solution. I can almost guarantee you that Adobe didn't test it if it's not referenced in the ETK: 11 SCCM-SCUP — Enterprise Administration Guide
That being said there "should" be logging available in any deployment solution. Since I am not familiar with Solar-Winds particular solution I can't say if it logs errors and how verbose those logs might be. If you have logs then post the output and the forum members "might" be able to assist you.

First attempt at Producer Consumer Architecture: continuous read and dynamically update parameters.

Hello,
I am currently working with two instruments; an Agilent E3646A and an NI 6212 BNC. My objective is to have the 6212 to be continuously taking measurements according to predefined parameters while the E3646A's parameters can be continuously updated. This simple instrument combination is intended to help me learn the necessarry achitecture; continuous measurement, dynamic output control, and more instruments will be added in the future.
I've previously posted on a similar, but more complicated, setup (http://forums.ni.com/t5/Instrument-Control-GPIB-Serial/Split-second-lag-when-controlling-two-instrum... and was advised to try the Producer Consumer Architecture. I've found relevant literature on the site (http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3023/en/, https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-2431), searched the forums and constructed my own VI. While my first attempt at a Producer Consumer Architecture has resolved some of the issues I was having when I first posted on the subject, however, new issues have arisen with regard to reading and stopping the VI.
I am currently able to run the VI and update the device parameters. Previously, I would get a freeze while the instrument was being updated and could not toggle parameters until it was done. This has been resolved although the read only updates when a parameter has been updated although it is outside of the event structure. Furthermore the Stop button does not work in any context. I've also gotten occasional errors regarding the Deqeue Element but the bulk of the trouble is Error -200279 "Attempted to read samples that are no longer available" at DAQmx Read. I realize that there is a problem in my Producer Loop but haven't been able to figure out how to resolve it.
This is my first attempt at a Producer Consumer Architecture and already I can see that it is a powerful tool. I read as much as I could and looked at the relevant examples but expected to have some issues in the beginning. Would really appreciate any advice so I can take full advantage of the architecture.
Hope to hear from you,

Jon,
Thank you for the response and the suggestions.
I created the Local Variable for the Stop Button and moved the original into its own Event Case. It is now able to stop VI execution although I get Warning -1073676294 which I understand to be the buffer issue. The warning says that this was incurred on VISA Open for the E3646A's Initialize VI which is outside both loops, however, which I don't understand.
I tried increasing buffer size by decreasing the Number of Samples as per suggestions I found on NI forum threads. I've brought it down as low as 1 but the graph still only updates when an Event occurs and I keep getting the same buffer error. You suggested that the problem could be that they are in the same loop; does this mean that the DAQmx read should be outside both Producer and Consumer Loops or moved into the Consumer Loop? I found a couple of links ( http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Producer-Consumer-Design-Pattern-DAQmx-Event-Structure/td-p/2744450 , http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Producer-Consumer-Architecture/td-p/494883 -first response) on dealing with an Event Structure that my own VI is based. Alternatively, I found another link ( http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Producer-Consumer-Design-Pattern-DAQmx-Event-Structure/td-p/2744450 - first response) on a DAQmx Read with an Event Structure that places the graph in the Consumer Loop.
The core of my purpose in setting up this Producer Consumer Architecture is so that I could read continuously while the instrument parameters are updated dynamically so it's very important that I understand how this works. I am particularly struggling with how the Event Structure is controlling the While Loop's Execution.
Hope to hear form you,
Yusif Nurizade

Reader error with every update 0:104

Hi all,
Interesting issue that I have spent quite some time attempting to resolve and have yet to determine a root cause. I will give as much information as possible so this post may be quite long. If I have missed any information, I can definitely provide it.
Problem:
When any update is pushed to Reader, we receive an influx of calls with the error: "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (0:104)". This error occurs any time a user attempts to launch a PDF. If Reader is launched through the Start Menu or the install directory, it opens an MSI installer progress window.
Currently, we have found 4 ways of possibly fixing this, which works is random, but it is very time consuming having to manually work on over 1500 computers. The possible resolutions are: 1: The user can launch Reader/Acrobat from their start menu and the install will complete, 2: An admin logs onto the system and opens Reader/Acrobat from the start menu, 3: We run a repair install of the software, 4: We completely uninstall and reinstall with updates.
Environment:
Corporate with approx 2000 machines - end users are not local admins.
OS Version Windows 7 Enterprise x64 SP1
IE versions 9 through 11
Scattered installations of Chrome and Firefox
Most machines running Reader 11.0.x
Some machines running Acrobat Standard/Pro
Reader setup:
When a new computer is added in our environment, Reader is automatically installed via Microsoft Deployment Toolkit. I have created a custom MST for the install, using the Customization Wizard, and have tested it on multiple machines and VMs. I also added the MSP files for updates as they come available to keep the installed version current with the releases. The same install package is also setup in Microsoft SCCM as an Application (we do not use SCCM to manage WSUS nor SCUP) to push to machines already in the field.
MST Settings selected (Default unless noted):
Installation Options - Installer will decide, Remove all Reader, Enable, Enable, Silent, Suppress
Registry - Add: DWORD HKLM\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\11.0\AdobeViewer\EULAAcceptedForBrowser 1, DWORD HKLM\Software\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\FeatureLockDown\bProtectedMode 0
Shortcuts - Remove Desktop
Security - Off, Disable & Lock
Online Services - Disable Updates, disable Help>Purchase, disable PIP, disable all online services

Your english is fine, much better than my french!
My recommendation would be to take the machine into an AASP so they can help you install the EFI update. They receive DVDs for just the type of problem you are having, this whole process should take less than 10 minutes. To locate an AASP in your areas follow this link:

Kernel can no longer read usb devices after update

after running a Pacman -Syu yesterday which included a kernel update to kernel26-2.6.32.10-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz, i can no longer use any usb devices, my arch 64 laptop simply does not recognize them, anyone else have this problem?
when i attempt to downgrade... the kernel i simply get
[root@Arch aaron]# pacman -U kernel26-2.6.32.8-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
loading package data...
error: 'kernel26-2.6.32.8-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz': cannot open package file
[root@Arch aaron]#
i can get you any outputs you need, i just need a solution to this quickly! i can't wait for the next update

ok it is definitey a gz file (or at least the kernel is... how do i check if the others are?

Read This BEFORE you update to iWeb '08

iWeb '08 introduces a lot of features that we've all been waiting for but, before you jump right in there, you should realize a lot of people are losing their original websites.
When you first launch iWeb '08 and upload an existing website it converts your domain.sites file to domain.sites2 file. Due to bugs in this software release, these converted files seem to be corrupted in various ways.
Once your domain.sites file has been converted there is no way back.
You MUST back them up.
If you want to continue working on your old sites you will have to retain your copy of iWeb '06. When you update to iWeb '08 your original application is replaced so, if you have not run the update, move your old iWeb application out of the "Applications" folder.
If you have already uploaded the new version and still have your iLife '06 disk then you are OK as long as you have made a "safe" backup of your original domain.sites file(s).
For more information on this subject go to

iWeb '08 Calamity: Lost site content, crashes, significantly increased resource usage, more
Backup your Domain files Make a copy of this file -- located in ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain -- before attempting to update to or use iWeb '08. The program is causing serious issues for a number of readers (as discussed below), and may delete or make inoperable parts of your stored Web site(s). Saving this file can mean the difference between losing or maintaining your current site data.
Missing site elements including photo galleries The most dire issue users are experiencing after updating to iWeb '08 is the sudden disappearance of various site elements, particularly photo galleries. Many users have reported that entire swaths of their sites are completely missing after launching the update and attempting to work with their pre-existing site(s) file.
Crashes A surprisingly high number of users are reporting repeated crashes after updating to iWeb '08.
Ironically, it appears that many of the crashes can be resolved by removing the file ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain. In essence, it looks like iWeb '08 is choking on the sites file created by older versions of iWeb. So move this file to a separate location, and try launching iWeb '08 again.
Increased resource usage/slowness Users are reporting that the new version of iWeb uses significantly more memory and processor time than its predecessor.
