Software updater pop ups invite me to download Reader X1 11.0.03 but website only provides Reader X

Hi, can anyone explain why software updater keeps giving annoying pop ups inviting me to update to Reader 11.0.03, but when I go to the website to download I am only provided with Reader X? I updated from Reader 9 to that but still keep on getting the pop ups. My antivirus also tells me the download link in the pop ups is unsafe and carries viruses. How can I get rid of these pop ups and/or update to X1?
Many thanks

It appears to have finally stopped popping up! If it returns I will take a screen shot. I did wonder if it was some kind of scam which is why I went to the website to update rather than via the link.

How can I stop the software updater pop ups advising me to update to 11.0.03?

Can anyone help with how to stop the software updater pop ups advising me to update to Reader 11.0.03? My antivirus advises the link in the pop up is unsafe, so I went to the Adobe website to update from Reader 9. The website doesn't offer X1, but did offer X, so I updated to 10.1.7.
Why is the site not offering a download for X1?
Even though I have updated to X I am still getting the pop ups for X1. I have attached a screen shot of the pop up - is this legitimate or some kind of scam carrying a virus?
Thanks.

There are literally thousands of sites with videos (linked to from yet thousands more) that will prompt you to "upgrade" or update your already updated Flash Player. This is the most common method of delivery for malware like that.
A friend who runs a PC Repair business told me that if you've updated your Flash Player and you see a warning in a web page that you need to download an update to watch a video, it's an attack site.
A simple gesture of holding your mouse over the warning or link, will indicate the address it points to. If it DOESN'T say Adobe anywhere in the beginning of the address (download.adobe.com, or adobe.com/downloads), it's a forgery, and you should leave that page immedaitely. If you download and install whatever they link you to, it may play the content you were looking for, but you've just been infected with something that may lay dormant for months and then suddenly take over your whole system.
If you use your PC for work, you're really in trouble.

Do I need Safari Power Saver if OS X 10.10.2 already installed in MacBook Air? If not, why do I keep getting pop-ups inviting me to download it?

See summary-it says it all.

The Safari Power Saver isn't a download; it's a built-in feature. It can be turned off from the Advanced tab of Safari's preferences.

STOP VERIZON SOFTWARE UPDATE POP UP

I want to turn off these stupid Verizon Software update pop ups. I have NO intention of allowing Verizon to put more crap on my phone that I don't want and definitely have no intentions of allowing them to remove things I put on the phone I PAID FULL PRICE FOR, off because they don't want them on there. I've heard nothing good about this latest update, and of course, Verizon has no real customer support so I have to turn to the community here to help me. So, if you can tell me how to turn off the notifications or stop the automatic updating, that would be great. If I have to root my phone, I'm okay with that, I just need to know how.
Thanks!

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 as your tagline suggests then you can only do the update via your computer's iTunes (you will need the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer).
To update, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad via File > Devices > Back Up.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

You can only update a device to the highest iOS version that it supports, which for an iPad 2 is iOS 7.0.6

Adobe Reader Updater Pop Ups on Mac are Daily & Annoying!

My Adobe Reader Updater Preferences are set to null - no reminders needed. YET, I get these pop ups reminding me that another update is ready. Daily! It interrupts my work, as on a Mac I see two icons jumping up and down in the apps bin until I respond. VERY DISRUPTIVE, Adobe! Stop it! Someone please tell me how to address these ridiculous, voluminous update pop ups. Thank you so much for your assistance.

Your Reader app needs to be updated.
Download the offline installer: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Save it, but don't run it yet.
Go to: Mac HD/Applications
Trash the Reader 11 Application from there
Go to: MacHD/library/Internet Plugins
Trash the AdobePDFviewer.plugin from there
Trash the AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin also
Empty the trash
Mount the DMG and run the installer to reinstall Reader
When it finishes, reboot and open Reader from the Applications folder
Accept the License Agreement and then close Reader

Software Update Failed: An error occurred whilst downloading iOS 7.0."

Hey there,
As Sneaky_Mouse suggested the best option is atm iTunes. Servers are probably going crayze.
If you cannot do it like that as well you can look for an iOS 7 ipsw (image file) and then, hold down either Option or Shift (on a Mac or Windows PC) and click Update; this will allow you to select the ipsw image.

very good. You also had posted originally on the Using Apple Support Communities forum (dedicated to "How do I use this forum and find My Stuff in it?"). I had already asked our gracious Hosts to move it to Using iPhone where it now resides and will likely get more prompt attention. In the meantime, you might consider browsing and/or searching Using iPhone for similar issues as your own.

Software Update Failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 6.

I have been trying to get the latest software update on my iPhone 4S 16GB for a few days. All of my apps are closed, iTunes version is current, and no other apps need updating. I am on WIFI and I just backed up my phone again; however, the software update will not work. The "estimated time remaining" fluctuates by random amounts as it tries to update as well (it may say 1 minute, then 15 minutes, then 2, then 8 - regardless of what the blue progress bar shows).
Here is the error message I receive: "Software Update Failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 6." Throughout the day today, I've also received a message stating, "cannot find update" - or something similar (I can't recall it verbatim).
What is causing this? Please help with detailed instructions. Thank you.

Software update for Lion recovery won't download

I just tried to download the software update containing lion recovery and it downloads most of the way and then stops: with a message that it cannot access something and to make sure I am connected to the internet. I am connected to the internet, so I don't know what else to do. I've tried three times and gotten the same response each time.
What do I need to do?
Thanks!

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

HT1338 How can I start a software update from scratch? error states that it was corrupted during transfer but when it starts over later, it still give the same error

Software updates tells me it needs to download and install a new version of itunes. When this notice first appeared the download started but stopped after about 34 MB and said the download was corrupted. Later (after many restarts), the notice appears again but the download starts where it left off and immediately gives me the message that it is corrupted. How do I force the download to start over from scratch?

Check the version you're being offered, and go to Apple Support Downloads.
Read the info on the update and decide if you actually need it. (if your OS version is 10.6.4 as shown in your info, I doubt that you will need it at all).
The latest update I can find for iTunes is here; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1426
