Updates are disabled by system administrator

I'm looking at three different pc's - two are on a domain, the other is from a different domain and network. All three systems report that "updates are disabled by your system administrator" in the help, about firefox screen.
To my knowledge, the system administrator team (myself and co-workers) have not done anything to disable this. It also seems odd that a random laptop not related to my business' domain would have the same error.
What is causing the updates to be disabled? How can this be enabled?

Just curious whether turning off the use of the maintenance service, then exiting and restarting Firefox would bypass that message. You can turn off the service in the Options dialog under Advanced/Updates. See: [[Advanced settings for accessibility, browsing, system defaults, network, updates, and encryption]].

Desktop gadgets are managed by system administrator

Dear Windows Team,
Some time back I had turned off the gadgets from my desktop. Now when I am trying to show the gadgets again, while clicking on the gadgets, it comes out with a message "Desktop gadgets are managed by your system administrator". It is my
personal computer and no one else is the system administrator.
I have already tried out multiple solutions available for this query , but could not get the problem solved yet.
Can someone help me on this.
Regards,
Priyabrata Tripathy

Updates Were Installed by System Administrator

I ran Software Update today and this message popped up. It popped up after it checked but before I actually installed anything. What does it mean? I'm the administrator of this computer, and I didn't install any Software Updates yet.
Plus I appear to be stuck in a loop. When I check for Software Updates, this "Updates Were installed by System Administator" box pops up. I hit Check Now, it thinks for a while, and the same box then pops up.
Who is "System Administrator" ? This computer is not managed by any sort of administrator other than myself.

Price Condition&Price update are disabled in S.O even after partial invoice

Dear All,
We are using manual pricing condition in the Sales Order, when we do a partial delivery and billing for a Sales Order line item, the update prices function (button) is inactive and price conditions are greyed out.
We are using Pricing Type "C" in the VTFL item copy from Delivery to Billing.
Even after partial quantity invoicing from the Sales Order there will be pricing changes and users will need to enter manual price for the item that is partially invoiced.
Currently system does not allow any change in the manual price condition as the all the price conditions are greyed out in the S.O even if partial qty of the line item is invoiced.
Please let me know what needs to be done to enable manual condition entry and Price update functions in the Sales order even after partial invoice quantity of the line item in the Sales Order.
Regards
Venkat

Hai Venkat,
This is the standard functionality and system treat like
sales order conditions once invoiced should be freezed.
As a work around you can do like
in sales order order
Go to Item - Shipping
Part.dlv./item B Create only one delivery (also with quantity = 0)
Max.Part.Deliv. 1
This make only one delivery for the line item
Considering if you have a material Sales order of 2 KG and you added some manual price.
And you are doing partial delivery of 1 KG and Invoiced.
Now user can use the same sales order and create a new line item of the same material and can enter the balance qty and change the condition which is not grayed out.

Mani

Update and Delete option are disable

Resp : XML Publisher Admin
Template : search template Example : Standard Purchase Order Stylesheet
there is option to add new template but option to delete and Update are disable. (Localized Templates Region)
How to enable them. (Is there any setup required for this?)
Thanks
Edited by: avajain on Feb 25, 2009 4:38 AM

Hi,
Since 'Standard Purchase Order Stylesheet' is a standard Template, you will not abe able to delete or update it.
If you need to customize it, You need to copy it to another template and upload your custom style sheet.
Then you need to attach this custom template to standard PO using the following navigation:
a) Purchasing SuperUser -> Setup -> Pruchasing -> Document Types ->(It will open a new OAF window)
b) Click 'Update' Icon on 'Purchase Order Standard''
c) Change 'Document Type Layout' and select your Custom template.
Hope this helps!

The latest October updates are not showing up in CC 2014

All of our Adobe programs are still at version 2014.0. In Creative Cloud, everything is "updated".
Also, InDesign is not able to activate the Folio Builder. The following message comes up:
"A software update is required to use Digital Publishing Suite. Please go to the Help menu and select Updates to get the required software."
When I go to the Help menu, the Updates is in grey and not clickable.
This is the same on our Macs and PCs. We have an Enterprise account with programs on both platforms.
I have tried to uninstall Creative Cloud and re-installing afterwards.
So there are 2 major questions here:
1. How do I get my Adobe programs to get the latest October updates?
2. How do I get Folio Builder to work in Indesign CC 2014?

IGM2014 if updates are greyed out then it sounds like updates were disabled by network administrator. Please involve your I.T. department in the update process.

OIM Process Form System Administrator Permissions Disappeared

Hi,
We have OIM 9.1.0.2 in our environment. Since past few days we are noticing that 'System Administrator' permission from process form gets removed completely. We cant even add the permission for System Admin as it gives as error that 'You do not have permission'.
Finally we have to import our back up xml (thank God that we took backup) to import the permission back.
Anybody has seen this issue before. Please help as this is becoming a major problem for us.

Migration Assistant - Computers fail to find each other - Dell Windows 7hp to iMac OS X Mavericks - all firewalls on both machines are disabled

I dont post here often but after a few days of trying different things I am at a loss so here it goes:
Previous Machine: c2009 Dell, Windows 7 Home Premium
New Machine: late 2012 iMac, OS X Mavericks, Parallels 10 Installed
Both computers connected to existing business network via ethernet. All firewalls and updates are disabled on both computers, screen savers and sleep modes are also disabled.
The first strategy was to transfer data using the Parallels Migration Wizard. The wizard finds the PC and begins the transfer, but gets to about 1/5 progress and hangs/ stops every time in the same spot. I disabled everything (firewall, etc.) I can think of on the windows PC and it still hangs in the same place every time.
The second strategy was to use the Migration Assistant that came on the iMac. The computers fail to find each other every time. so I haven't been able to even start the process. Searching on the iMac Network folder I can find and access the Dell (after changing security settings on the Dell to allow this). From the Dell Network folder I am not able to find or access the iMac.
So, I have submitted a help request to Parallels to see what they can do to help, but I also wanted to reach out here in case someone has experienced this before.
Thanks

"Check for updates" is disabled even though I'm signed in as administrator.

I would like to upgrade to the newest Firefox version, but it's not allowing me to (& check for updates is disabled) even though I'm signed in as the administrator. How do I change this? How do I get to the installer preferences?

I'm running Firefox 4.0.1 under Windows 7 Service Pack 1. If there is any other relevant information I missed out, please tell me! :-)
Yes, a re-installation would most probably solve the problem but I'm to curious to do that. I want to know why some settings are unavailable even though I run Firefox as an Administrator. :-)
I have attached a screen dump of the About-window (Firefox->Help->About Firefox). The button for updating Firefox is replaced by the text "Uppdateringar är inaktiverade av systemadministratören" which translate to "Updates are inactivated by the system administrator".
The other dump is of the updates settings (Firefox->Settings->Settings->Advanced->Updates). As you can see, the options for automatically updates is not available. This dump correspond to https://support.mozilla.com/media/uploads/gallery/images/2011-06-01-08-15-43-7e6d8a.png
Both dumps are done when Firefox is ran as administrator.

Destination disabled. []: [CrystalEnterprise.Ftp]. Please note the name of the job server used for your request and contact your system administrator to make sure the specified destination is enabled. (FWB 00031)

Hi
In BO 4.0 SP 9 when a administrator tries to schedule a report via CMC there is no error
But when a user schedules a report and the destination is FTP location -> Use default settings he gets following error
Destination disabled. []: [CrystalEnterprise.Ftp]. Please note the name of the job server used for your request and contact your system administrator to make sure the specified destination is enabled. (FWB 00031)
There is only one Job Server and the destinations are enabled in it
There is no Job server for Crystal Reports Job Server
Do i need to create it and how.

Please check if you have proper rights to schedule to FTP. You can create a new job server, whenever you schedule it, there are multiple job servers, it will handle based on the load. But it is not mandatory, depends on the load.

Error: X "does not have permission to write to the application's directory! Are you running off a disk image? If not, ask your system administrator for help."

I have received to following error from at least three different applications when they have attempted to auto-update recently: X "does not have permission to write to the application's directory! Are you running off a disk image? If not, ask your system administrator for help."
I am not running off a disk image and I have admin privileges... Not sure what the problem is, but it just started happening (a week or two ago) and I have never previously had a problem with these applications auto-updating. I have repaired permissions and attempted other "fixes" found on the interweb, but nothing works. Also, this is only happening on my iMac (27" Intel i5) and not my MacBook Pro (17" Intel i5) -- both are running Lion. Please help!

If you updated using the default install (merge) from before Tiger, you may be seeing an issue that we saw when Leopard first came out last year.
Not sure of the fix - it was not simple - but if you search back in these forums you might find something that will help. I believe it deals with the numbers assigned to accounts (501, etc).
If you open your Accounts Preferences and unlock the padlock, right-click Advanced Options and read your User ID and Group ID. Let us know what they are.
Now, in the other user admin account, do the same thing.
One of the real experts who knows much more about this than I may be able to then help.

After updating to Firefox 7.0.1, menu bar for Google,yahoo, Facebook (message,notification,profile,home) and others site are disabled. How can solve this problem?

after updating to Firefox 7.0.1, menu bar for Google(web ,image,video,map etc),yahoo, Facebook (message,notification,profile,home) and others site are disabled. even I cant log out from different sites cz the log out bar is completely disabled. I tried with Firefox 4;5 and 6, same problem exist . I tried by active all add ons for facebook, same problem exist. If I use internet explorer , I don't find such problem with it.
How can I solve this problem?

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

Hi,
The error translates to "A certificate chain processed, but terminated in a root certificate which is not trusted by the trust provider."
Have you imported the WSUS self signed certificate or the certificates issued by your CA in the Task Sequence so that they are trusted during the OS deployment?

Using system 10.6.8, this version of Safari 5.1.10 is no longer supported by gmail. Please upgrade to a supported browser. Updates are current. What?

I get a message in my gmail account starting two weeks ago: "This version of Safari is no longer supported. Please upgrade to asupported browser." My updates are current with Safari 5.1.10, using OS 10.6.8. No system changes have been made near that time frame. My gmail account appears to be working normally at the present time. Processor: 2 GHz Intel Core duo w/ 2GB SDRAM. Help?

To move to Safari 6 you would have to install Lion or Mountain Lion. Perhaps try contacting Google/gmail about the issue and why they are not supporting your version of Safari.

Updates are disabled by system administrator
