Why, after updating plug-ins thru firefox's system [specifically adobe acrobat 10.1.4.38] it doesn't recognize it and says I need to update ?

This has been happening on & off for awhile. I've tried updating thru firefox, uninstalling & updating in firefox, and within acrobat. It says its updating but the version doesn't change & can't find any evidence it did. Even uninstalling it still reinstalled 10.1.4.38 - the same version I've had since started using firefox.
By the way, today I updated 'Shockwave Flash' thru same place & update said it still needed to update (cant remember which version it said) but I had disabled ''Shockwave for Director'. When I enabled it the update stopped saying it needed Flash update.
Any chance there is a link between Acrobat & something else similar to the 'Director' that will assist in update recognizing it? A distant cousin-program?

Thank you so much jscher2000. You must be a '''God of Geeks''' cause nobody would tell me what they are all for & whether I needed them or not. And there you just rattled them off like it was no effort at all. You are my lucky day - the kind that only happen once a year. Thank you, me & my freshly broken leg will appreciate it and now I'm downloading that Secunia program. Gonna find them buggers and fix my 'puter good! HAHA! 8)

Can't ck for updated plug-ins. Firefox just circles endlessly.

can't access msn jigsaw puzzles. Wanted to check for updated plug-ins. Fox circles endlessly for up to 2 mins., never connects.

The instructions are not contradictory, since you reported two different issues:

Your '''Java(TM) Platform''' plugin may be disabled in the Firefox Add-ons Manager Plugins list, since I don't see it in your list of plugins. <sub>[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1130896 Bug 1130896] - Plugin check gets stuck if Java runtime disabled and Java Deployment toolkit enabled.</sub>
To enable the Java plugin, see the article, [[Use the Java plugin to view interactive content on websites]] under [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-java-plugin-to-view-interactive-content#w_enabling-java Enabling Java]. That article also explains how to update Java, if your version is outdated.

I wrote that because you said you ''can't access msn jigsaw puzzles'' but you didn't give a link to that problem website. I was assuming the problem site needs the '''Java(TM) Platform''' plugin (which is DIFFERENT from the "java deployment toolkit" plugin) to be enabled and working. If the '''Java(TM) Platform''' plugin is outdated and vulnerable you need to update it. The article I linked above has more information.

<blockquote>
hello donnaofmaryland, please try the following: go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > plugins, set the "java deployment toolkit" to never activate and then try to use the plugincheck page again...
</blockquote>
This advice was to get the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugin Check] page working. Only thing, I just tried that page and it isn't working at all for me. The PluginCheck website could be having problems. You can also update Java by going to java.com directly or you can use the Update option in the Java Control Panel (details in the article [[Use the Java plugin to view interactive content on websites]] which I linked to before).

How to update itunes 11.1 because when i plug it in a lap top there's a message that will pop up and says you need to update into a latest version of itunes 11.1

need your help guys...thanks and more power

You have to have 11.1 to run iOS7. WHen my 11.1 download failed, I tried to update my iPad anyway, which triggered a dialogue to download iTUnes, which did work. Then I could download and install iOS7.
Unfortunately the release of iOS7 and iTunes 11.1 on the same day created a 'perfect storm' of just too much demand and too little bandwidth.

HT201249 I would like to sync my iPhone 4S to my MacBook Pro, so that I can restore to the iPhone 6, I just bought. When I plug the 4s into the Mac Book Pro, Itunes doesn't recognize it and says that I need to upgrade my phone to Itunes 11.1.

WHat do I do if my iPhone 4S won't sync to my macbook pro, and my phone doesn't seem to upgrade to itunes11.1? The upgrade should be on the iTunes upgrade page, but there's no icon.

There must be something wrong. You should update the iTunes on your Macbook pro to make iTunes recognize your iPhone. For more details, check out:iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X - Apple Support

After update iTunes still says I need to update

when I try to access iTunes it tells me I need to update my device. It gives me step by step. It then says it is up to date. But i still can't access itunes. It gives me the same message "Need tp update device". Don't know what else to do other than follow the directions. I have even rebooted my iPhone. No luck. Any suggestions?
thanks,
Bryan

When I click on "New music" from itunes in my email Safari opens and says
" You neede to update your device's software to access the itunes store."
It continues with these directions that I have followed.
"Simply sync your device to your computer and click " Check for update" and then click this itunes store link again from your device when syncing is complete."
Thanks for the phone # I may give that a try next.

Get Plugin Finding Service Error for weeks & weeks now - can't update plug-ins, need download .pdf doc, but says adobe unstable, plug-in needs update. now what

Want to download .pdf doc, but pop-up says it's unstable, need update plug-in. Tried to update, got error message, with "try later". Same for weeks now. Tried check for updates, Firefox is up to date, clicked update plug-ins... it tries, then again... same error message: "Plugin Finding Service Error. Please try again later".
Been so long now -- when becomes a mighty big question. Looked in forum, no joy.
Please, can someone tell me -- what's the go. I'm absolutely no good with computers, but this needs to get fixed. Should I stop using Firefox or what?
Thanks for your help.
Happy 2013 to all.
PS. (added a couple days later)
I'm told I should have added my next question in reply to TylerDowner here, instead of as I did. Sorry if that's so (really?) but I didn't even realize I could edit this.
So... TylerDowner, thanks very much for your reply, and please would you -- or anyone else who might be able to help -- see my first reply to you below. (seems a waste to slot in here again)
Feelin even dumber, (ha-ha)
raaraa

Tylerdowner -- >> thank you << for your reply, and my sincere apologies for this delayed response (probs, hospital, blah-blah, you don't want to know).
Have tried to download via that link but not sure if successful. Very slow dial-up connection is the pits. Waited hours 'n hours, fell asleep in chair even, finally had to give in and go to bed, left it going. Server does time out every 8-12 hours, so not sure how long it went. The download appeared complete -- ie, did not show any note of failure. Not sure if it would -- some things in the past haven't.
Anyway, had success downloading one much older .pdf file, but the link for one I wanted had expired, and I don't know anything else to try. Tried a couple of other links I have, not sure of age of file -- on clicking link, the browser opened, but nothing more happened.
Wondering -- is the download available in separate pieces instead of one big one? Perhaps worth trying again that way?
Please, if you would be forgiving, and persist with me a little further/longer -- would you make your recommendation/s for next step/s please?
Hope you're in a safe, comfortable place. So many places in the world suffering with extremes of all kinds.

Plug ins screen says I need to update Java, and when I do I'm told the install was stopped

The Plug-Ins screen tells me I need to update Java. I click update and everything is fine until the install. I am told that 'the install failed because it was interrupted before it could be completed'. Java says that I am running the latest version, Version 7 update 51, but Firefox says I need to update. What gives?

Long story short, you do not need to update.
More info, please see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/990988 Firefox 28.0 is indicating that my installed Java SE 7 U51 is vulnerable (2014 03 20)].

After Effects Plug Ins

Hi Guys,
Ok, what I am about to ask is something I guess is a very "Personal-preference" type question, but here we go anyway..( if nothing else, it might give you something to read! :-)..)
I have mentioned on a few posts that the project I am busy with, is for the creation of a new television series. We are a very small company, and have started out from scratch- the best place to start from I think.. Anyway, the question that I have, is around After Effects plug-ins.
I would like to invest some money in plug-ins but would like to get a feel from the forum first, as to what, where, when and why.
After all the many millions of tutorials and books I have seen, "Red Giant" is a name that crops up all the time. I am looking on their site, and am getting rather overwhelmed with the amount of plugins they offer.
I am going to "pre-guess" that someone will answer this question by stating that it all depends what I want to do at the end of the day, so I will jump the gun on that one and state that I will definately be looking into the "Keying Suite" on offer, as a lot of my work - actually, the biggest part - will be compositing from green and blue screen footage.
The other packages caught my eye, because I just want to own the world (I cannot play any computer game without completing it 100% - getting all the collectable's and extras - so that part of my personality is now bleeding into work!) - and as a result, I am looking at the "Effects Suite" and "Trapcode Suite"
So, to end this rather long "Question", can anyone advise me, from their experience, are the extra products worth while, or can After Effects pull a pretty believable similar effect by itself?
Thanks for your time,
Pierre

If you do keying a lot, you could need help. Not sure whether I would actually consider the complementary tools that much, as it is easy enough to build a light wrap from scratch and the Refine Matte effect ever since CS5 is pretty sophisticated as well as there are of course all the otehr channel, matte and blur tools, but Primatte is useful and may help to create a key where Keylight fails. On that note, you might also consider RevisionFX' Re:Fill to mend holes and smooth keying edges the smart way as well as RSMB Pro to remove motion blur and reintroduce it later. And the adaptive blurs in SmoothKit are also handy. The other Red Giant suites are probably not essential to you. Trapcode is motion graphics centric, anyway, and unless you neet all those particle and lighting effects, you won't get much else out of it. Similarly, the FX suite is not essential IMO. Half of that can be built from scratch or with some presets from the web, it may just be a bit more clunky and slower. if you realyl must send more money to RG and do not want to buy more RevisionFX tools like DeNoise or Twixtor, the Magic Bulelt tools would be better plus you get their color correction tools as well.

Updating plug-ins, about reaearching.

I know virtually nothing about how to manage/update plug-ins, I have several that say 'research' But when I research, it's so complicated I just don't understand what to do next, Help....
I am using Windows XP Pro 32 bit V 3.0

Firefox may pick up plugins that actually are not important to you, because Firefox picks them up from the Windows registry where external programs can freely list them. So... if you discover plugins with no known value, you might consider disabling them here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
That probably will reduce your research burden.
Generally speaking, if a plugin is associated with another program, then you can keep the plugin up-to-date by updating that program. Adobe Reader and iTunes would be examples of that.
If there are plugins you're really curious about, you could post more information about those. On my test page, there is a list of your currently active plugins that you can copy and paste: http://dev.jeffersonscher.com/jstest.asp

When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Using After Effects plug-ins

I've pointed to my After Effects plug-ins in the Motion preferences, but they don't show up in the filters menu. I've restarted several times, pointed to specific plug-in folders, pointed to AE 6.5 plug-ins and 7.0 plug-ins, Motion doesn't see them.
I think it should. I'm running Motion 2.1.2 on a G5 with 2.5 GB ram.
Anyone have a solution?

Once again, for anyone else who might stumble upon this question, third-party filters DO NOT show up in the Add Filters area of the Canvas. They show up ONLY in the library. This fact may be of interest, and is not specified on p 793.

How do I update plug-ins?

I received an InDesign CS5.5 file and it says I can't open it because I need plug-ins or latest version, but I have 5.5 (installed about two years ago, version 7.5) and it looks like all my Extension Manager plug-ins are checked. I can't find anywhere in Preferences to do auto plug-in updates. Help. I'm on a MacBook.

How do you know it's a CS5.5 file?
It's most likely a file from a newer version of InDesign, InDesign Cs6 or InDesign CC.
Go back to your source and ask them for a IDML file using File>Save As and also a PDF so that you can check text issues, like reflowing of text etc.

How do I update plug-ins so that I can get pictures and open my emails again?

Hi,
I can't read my emails anymore without having to click on "Run This Time", so I want to update plug-ins since it
says that Adobe flasher was blocked because it is out of date, but it doesn't work!

What is your operating system & version?
What is your web browser?
What is your installed Flash Player version?

Why didn't plug-ins sync (to this new laptop) with everything else?

Why didn't plug-ins sync (to this new laptop) with everything else?

Extensions and Plug-in synchronization is something that hasn't been implemented yet but is in the roadmap for the upcoming month.
