Updater5, how to turn off PERMANENTLY??

OK, so Adobe can't design an Enterprise solution to save their lives, we know that. We also know that their Band-aids® are usually filled with mistakes that we have to figure out how to work around their work-arounds.
They offer a way to suppress updates during the initial installation of the CS3 WP and DP. However, subsequent updates do not honor this setting and reset themselves to allow users to update their own apps. Well...we don't allow that in the enterprise as we require testing to make sure it doesn't break the hundreds of machines that we painstakingly installed WP and DP on using the Adobe flawed Enterprise deployment instructions.
So...anybody ever successfully been able to permanently disable Updater5?? And by permanent, I mean permanent. Not the Adobe "Oh, we thought you wanted to turn updates back on." way of doing things.
Their instructions for disabling auto updates only works for the CS3 apps not including Acrobat. The user can still go check for updates while in Acrobat Pro 8 even though that app is in the list of disabled apps in the AdobeUpdaterPrefs.dat file. It kills it for the other apps like Photoshop as "Updates..." is grayed out.
Maybe with CS4, they'll talk to Enterprise admins to get an idea of what it is we need...but thats what, 3 years from now? We need a way to turn that ANNOYING CRAP OFF!!
Anyone? Bueller?

Please go to the preferences for Adobe Updater and there you can disable the Automatic updates completely and you would not be prompted for updates
Attached the snapshot for the same.
Thanks

  • How to turn off spelling check in iCal

    hi, i am new to mac (yeah, i finally made The Transition) and i have the latest Mac OS X Version 10.6.3. would anyone please advise me on how to turn the spelling check off in iCal. i can't seem to find any right answer. thanks a lot.

    A post from April 2010 and a similar question from 2009, both unanswered. Does this mean iCal spell checking can't be disabled?
    I find it outrageously annoying, worse than ordinary annoying, because the calendar is full of ten-dollar words like surnames that will always note as wrong. It's like having a surname highlighting feature. I can't even turn it off in a single event because the next time I launch iCal it's back on again by default. For that matter, why is the active toggle there at all if you can only turn it off for the duration of a session? I suppose I've adapted by turning it off manually every time a red squiggly appears, but I haven't stopped thinking about it.
    Is spell check impossible to turn off permanently?

  • Yoga 2 Pro -- how to turn off switching mode notifications -- e.g. "tent mode", "tablet mode", etc?

    Does anyone know how to turn off the notifications that pop up in the upper right corner telling you that you have just changed from one configuration to another -- e.g. changing from tent mode to tablet mode?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Just disable it -
    Task manager > Startup > Click "Yoga Picks" > Click "disable"
    Next time you start your computer no more annoying pop ups.  If you want to be annoyed again you can always re-enable it.

  • I simply want to know how to turn off iCloud* without losing my contacts

    Call me old fashioned, but I really do NOT want to use iCloud EXCEPT for ONE THING*: and that's to find my phone, ipad or laptop if it goes missing.
    Having said that, I have figured out how to turn off icloud on my ipad and my iphone (I am not using the phone as a phone, just as a glorified ipod) while keeping the "find my ipad/iphone" function active, BUT
    I can't quite figure out how to do it on my laptop.
    I seem to have done it already for photos, and for the calendar, (I know this from checking iCloud to see what it's got) but just cannot figure out how to turn it off for contacts.
    And YES, I've backed up all of those things at LEAST 3 different ways, I just don't want the Cloud to be one of them.
    So can anyone tell me how to turn off contacts in the cloud without it also magically deleting them in my laptop? (I had it happen on the ipad, that's why I'm worried.)
    Thank you for understanding-I'm older and this stuff just keeps getting more complicated and I'm a simple person. I'll back up my own stuff!

    If you are refering to documents such as Pages and Numbers files....
    The only way around this is to "save as" you icloud documents using the associated app to a local folder on your mac.  Then turn off icloud.
    Of course, when you sign off of icloud, the docs are removed from the mac, but remain in icloud.  In the future when you sign back in, the documents are available to you again.
    Oh, and the icloud documents are also stored locally in ...
    ~/Library/Mobile Documents
    Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
    The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
    You can move these files to another folder to save them.

  • I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

    I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

    Apple ID's are not device specific, so when you changed it on the iPad 2 it changed it on the iPhone 4 as well, since it's the same account still. What you need to do is create a second Apple ID (so you'll have two accounts, one for iPhone 4 and a seperate one for iPad 2).
    To create a new Apple ID on your iPad 2:
    1) Go into Settings > Store.
    2) If you are already signed in, tap your Apple ID on the screen and you will be given a few options, one of which is to sign out of your account.
    3) After you sign out, now click the "Sign in" button.
    4) Tap "Create New Apple ID" and follow the instructions on-screen.

    The only way you can turn it off is to close the lid - so you would need an external wired or wireless keyboard and mouse/trackpad attached.

  • How to turn off frame edge highlighting in CS5?

    Has anyone discovered how to turn off the frame edge highlighting on rollovers. I find this feature visually distracting and quite annoying as I'm moving around a page. Send advice, please. Thx.

    Chief:
      Sorry we got off track and didn't post the main workaround for Frame Edge Highlighting: Keep your hand on the spacebar.
    This comes from  Mike Rankin in the InDesign Magazine Tip of the Week in January:
    TIP: Spring-Loaded Tools to the Rescue
    InDesign  tries very hard to help you align objects when you drag by snapping  them Do you dislike the Frame Edge Highlighting that appears when you  mouse over frames in CS5? Spring-loaded tools can help. Frame edge  highlighting only appears when you use one of the selection tools. With  spring-loaded tools, you can press and hold single keys to temporarily  switch to any other tool. As long as you hold the key for more than a  second, you'll switch back to your previous tool when you release the  key. You have plenty of choices (t, \, p, f, m, n, c, e, g, z, etc).
    Holding  the spacebar also prevents the highlighting from appearing, and it's a  nice big place for your fingers to rest. Heck, you don't even have to  pay much attention to where you press--just rest your hand in the middle  of the keyboard and lift it up when you want to select something. But  don't hold v or a, which are the shortcuts for the selection tools.
    - Mike Rankin
    (Mike had suggests this several times in the past year,  though not with the spacebar. E.g. he recommended 'H' back in June over  on
    InDesignSecrets. "H" for Hate).
    There have been several threads on this, including the locked 201-post monster, Frame edge highlighting, and the feature request Allow Frame Edge Highlighting to be turned off, and frame edge highlights on hover.
    Basically  the takeaway is that it only happens with the selection (V) and direct  selection (A) tools, and that multiple people have asked Adobe for a  control to turn it off, and they've finally added one, but only in CS5.5, not in a CS5 maintenance release.
