When I launch Firefox, Adobe Update says Reader is out of date, but it is not.

I don't even use the Adobe Reader plugin, since, on a Mac, it doesn't work anyway. I use Firefox PDF Plugin, instead. But, when I launch Firefox, Adobe Update launches and tells me that Adobe Reader is out of date. When I launch Adobe Reader and check for updates, it says that it's up to date. I wouldn't care if it just happened once, but it continues to happen, at least once a day. It's very annoying. How do I get it to stop, since it's wrong, anyway?
Mac OS X 10.5.8
Firefox 3.6.13 (Adobe Reader plugin not installed)
Firefox PDF Plugin 1.1.3
Adobe Reader 10.0.1

There seems to be a SEVERE lack of information on this issue and evidently no one is doing anything about it.
The available info simply leads you in circles.

Apple Software Update says I'm up-to-date but I'm not.

Over the summer I downloaded a beta of an iTunes program for Mac. Eventually that program expired so I needed to download the real iTunes. I did, and it was fine up until about a week ago. I was told that I needed to update my iTunes. I said, yes, Download the new iTunes but Apple Software Update says i'm up to date! I think it's because I don't have my original iTunes anymore? How can I make it so that it recogznies my application again? Also, my screensaver for iTunes Album Art claims it can't find my library now? What should I do?

"Download the new iTunes but Apple Software Update says i'm up to date!"
And?
You downloaded the newest iTunes so you are up to date.

E61, Updater says it's up to date, but it's not!

Hello, so I purchased a Nokia E61, unlocked, sim free, the code is: 0538289, this is the code everybody seems to have a problem with updating. As some of you know, the Updater believes the 1.06****** is up to date, but we all know there is a 2.****** available, why isn't this code supported, will it be temporary? should I go ahead and return the E61 from where I bought it?
I mean, I don't mind waiting a month or so as long as I can start updating like EVERYONE ELSE, but if Nokia won't let me update this phone for good, then I don't want it, can ANYBODY please shed some light...
Thank you

are you sure Ray? I just need to be sure it will eventually come out, and not be stuck with this Firmware forever, so everybody can confirm this is a legit code phone? It's not something that was bought from a service provider and re-flashed?
The code is legitimate, as for Nokia releasing v2.x for it, I couldn't say as I do not know.

I read somewhere that's what some sellers do, they buy a leftover batch from providers, for example Orange, and then they re-flash the software to make it seem it's an unlocked phone, now when you wanna upgrade it, the updater says there is no update, because that code belongs to the batch of phones that Orange owns and they don't allow upgrades unless you do it through them, are we dealing with this case or are we safe?
This could happen and has happened before, however in 99% of the cases on this board are when people upgrade and they lose their language, usually their handset was from another market and the updater restored the original configuration. These handsets are usually bought in bulk from a cheaper market, modified then resold to the unsuspecting or people who don't want to pay the legitimate price.

Please verify the model number from the back. If it is A1288, it is a 2nd generation unit and can not be upgraded beyond 4.2.1

Download 9.1 and 9.2.3 updates and install them

Firefox 34.05 says plugin is out-of-date, insecure, and thus disabled. But...my version is higher than the blocked version

Upon updating to Firefox 34.05, I've been faced with the fact that this version of Firefox (erroneously) thinks some of my plugins are out of date, and has disabled them, for my safety.
For instance, it tells me that "Adobe Acrobat Reader is known to be vulnerable and must be updated". Upon clicking the link to update it, it informs me that "Adobe Reader 9.5.1 and lower has been blocked for your protection.". Okay, cool right? An update should solve that.
Problem is, I don't *have* a version of AR that is 9.5.1 or lower. My version is, according to Firefox itself, version 10.1.4.38. So why is it blocked? Updating the version, as advised in other threads on similar issues, does not seem to work. In fact, the Mozilla plugincheck tells me that my version is up-to-date and is fine.
It is very inconvenient to have to open an entirely different browser, like Opera, just to do certain things that I could previously do with Firefox.
I'd also like to voice my overall disapproval on the way many features of Firefox (enabling disabling Javascript, images, certain stylistic features, the add-on bar) have been done away with and users are being told "you can install an add-on to add that functionality back on". It has always been my understanding that the less add-ons installed the better, given that they are apparently the number one problem when it comes to Firefox having issues. Having to disable 5 new add-ons anytime I want to troubleshoot a problem is not convenient, and makes locating the source of various problems more difficult.
I have no idea why Mozilla is so committed to making changes that users hate, and act as if having third-party add-ons to restore functionality is any kind of solution.

<blockquote>
Firefox 34.0.5 is not doing the blocking as it is due to the blocklist. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/blocked/
Adobe Reader '''10.0 to 10.1.5.*''' has been blocked for your protection.
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/blocked/p158 (Blocked on October 5, 2012)
You were looking at another blocklist page which was https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/blocked/p156 posted on same day.
The https://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ is not always accurate or reliable (needs to be manually updated) as Adobe has not been keeping the Adobe products versions to check for updated on that page as the recent Flash updates on December 9 has shown.
It is however accurate when it says versions in Plugins panel of Addons Manager is outdated.
There is Adobe Reader 11.0.10 though it seems like Adobe still provides 10.1.4 at http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/ yet newer versions are at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Windows
</blockquote>
James, why does the Firefox addon page link to the 9.5 "blocked for your protection" page instead of the 10.5 blocked page? Is that a mistake/failure to update on Adobe's part? That seems like something that should be controlled on the Mozilla side, since it has the 10.5 blocked page in existence as well. Should someone be notified that it's giving the wrong page to people?
The adobe update you linked to made it stop saying it's out of date, but what about the Java Development Toolkit? (As pictured in attached image #3). How should I go about getting that up to date?

You can't setup an iCloud account using a PC. You need a Mac, or an IOS device. You can sign into iCloud on your PC once you open an account.

I have updated my Adobe Acrobat plugin three times today but the firefox plugin check says it is out of date, a problem as I repeatedly encounter "The Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed" when I attempt to download pdfs.

I am attempting to download pdf's from a library search on JSTOR. I can view the pdf but cannot download them as they say "The Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed". I have been to the firefox plugin check and have updated Adobe Acrobat three times in the last hour, but it still says my plugin is not up to date. This leads me to believe that this may be the source of my crash errors.
I updated Adobe Flash from the same firefox plugin check page and after one try it now says I am up to date, so my system is obviously accepting these updates.
Help!!!!!

The following solution is useful for people who have the full version of Acrobat 9, but are getting the error message "the Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed". You probably want the features in the full version of Acrobat, but still need to be able to open PDF files from your Firefox browser.
Go to Tools > Options > Applications. Scroll down and change all of the Adobe Acrobat files to open with Acrobat 9 (or whatever version you have) instead of "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". This may not be as handy as having it use Acrobat inside the Firefox browser, but it will still let you open PDF files without having to uninstall the full version of Acrobat. Hope this helps.

I have installed firefox 8.0.1. When I start firefox up it says I have the latest version, but simultaneously there is a warning saying that I do not use the latest version?.

When I click the firefox icon it tells me that I have firefox 8.0.1.Under is written Firefox-is-up-to-date (shadow line) It also mentions that I use the release-update channel.
When i start firefox there is a warning that I do not use the latest version

This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained by Google.
Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same.

My ipod says it's up to date, but it's not and I can't update/restore

Itunes updated to 7.0.2 and I can load up my own CDs onto my ipod nano. I can buy new tunes on the internet and they load into my itunes library but the purchased tunes don't load onto my ipod - I keep getting a error message that my ipod software is out of date. I've tried uninstalling itunes but keep having the same problem. My ipod preferences page tells me I have software version 5.1 on the ipod. I can see the buttons for update/restore, but this whole section is grayed out and the buttons don't work. What can I do?

When you come back, try this.
Click on control panel/admin tools/computer management/disk management/right click on the iPod to re-assign the drive letter.
Choose something lower down the alphabet, say 'M' or something similar.
The iPod can be confused by any other storage devices assigned a similar drive letter even though they may not connected at the same time.
If the device manager is empty, see this: iPod not appearing in Windows device manager.
It's a long shot but worth a try.

Internal error 500 keeps coming up when I open Firefox. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, but that did not solve the problem. How can I fix this error

a message of 500 internal error comes up when I open up Firefox and I cannot do anything. How can this problem be solved? I cannot use Firefox, so I have uninstalled it because it does in work on my computer, but it does work on my desktop and other laptop. This is a new computer, so I am not understanding why this problem is occurring. When I first installed Firefox on my new laptop it worked just fine, but for about a week now it will not work.

Which security software (firewall) do you have?
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Says Java out of date but it's not - help!

Having a huge issue with Java working on my MBP. I used the Java applet two weeks ago so I have no idea why it's not working now. I'm on OS 10.9 (Maverick) - all of my issues with Java started once I updated to Maverick. I checked Java under System Preferences and it says I have the latest update:
Your system has the recommended version of Java.
Java 7 Update 45.
I used Terminal to check my version of Java and this is what I got:
java version "1.6.0_65"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-462-11M4609)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-462, mixed mode)
When I try to use anything that needs the Java applet though, it tells me the Java out-of-date.
Any ideas? Thanks for the help.

Dear Xiwang,
I have the same issue as you: latest Java is installed:
Java 7 Update 45.
I used Terminal to check my version of Java and this is what I got:
java version "1.6.0_65"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-462-11M4609)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-462, mixed mode)
When I try to use anything that needs the Java applet though, it tells me the Java out-of-date.
You said you solve your problem by coping Xprotect.meta.plist. I have no clue what it is, could you kindly help me out?
Thanks so much
Emmanuel

How to update Photoshop CC? C Cloud says I'm up to date -- but I'm not!

Creative Cloud says all apps are up to date. But Photoshop CC is only version 14.0, not 14.2.
In PS if I check for updates, Adobe Application Manager says all apps are up-to-date.
Online chat help today had me reinstall Adobe Application Manager and Creative Cloud. Did not help.
Running on Windows 8.1 Update 1.
How can I get Photoshop CC to update??

Mylenium,
Following a suggestion on the Creative Cloud forum ( leading to this: CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed ) I uninstalled Creative Cloud and Photoshop CC, then installed Adobe Application Manager and Creative Cloud. From Creative Cloud installed PS CC. It worked, now up to date.
Luckily I did not have to go the whole CC Cleaner route, however, it's good to know it's there just in case.
Thanks for helping,
Mark

Adobe Application Manager says InDesign is up to date, but it's not installed?

I had a trial version of InDesign and Illustrator, and the application manager insists that both are up to date, so I cannot install them. However, neither of these programs are installed on my computer anymore. How can I fix this?
Thank you!

Did you run the uninstallers for InDesign and Illustrator? Just deleting or dragging the applications to the Trash will not remove them.
On Windows uninstall from the Control Panel. On Mac OS X uninstall from Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers.
If you have uninstalled then run the Adobe Cleaner Tool which you can download from here http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html. Have it just cleanup InDesign and Illustrator.

My itunes says it's up to date, but it is not. If I download the new one will I loose all my stuff?

I got the I-phone 5, and when I went to sync it, it said I couldn't because I didn't have Itunes 11. I have 10.6.3, and it says its up to date. It said to download it, but I don't want to loose all my music and movies. How can I do that?

The issue is that the current iTunes (11.0.4) requires at least OS X version 10.6.8 to run.
You must update your OS X first, then update your iTunes.
Note that OS X version 10.6 (Snow Leopard) is now two years old. So I strongly suggest that you move to Lion (OS X 10.7) or Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) if your machine will support it. Either of these upgrades will cost a bit.
