Why aren't my plugins auto updating like I have it set for?

I have set up for my add-ons to automatically update but find they are not always doing that. i.e., Java and Adobe. I know that I can manually do it but do not want to have to and that is why I have it set up to auto update.

Only extensions can be updated via Firefox.<br />
Plugins like Flash and Java are installed via other programs and software on your computer and you need to updates plugins yourself manually if they do not check that automatically when they are used.

Last night I downloaded the latest Word update. Today the first Word document crashed and I lost 45 minutes of work in spite of having saved the document numerous times. Why is Word crashing the day after a safety update? I have Office 2008 for Mac

One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
/private/var/run/StartupItems
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/LaunchDaemons
Open Console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem & next startup for clues.

Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

Why won't my tabs & windows reopen as they should, even tho I have it set for them to do so?

Why won't my tabs & windows reopen as they should, even tho I have it set for them to do so?
"Firefox can be configured to restore all windows and tabs that were open when the application is closed or terminated unexpectedly. This article describes the circumstances under which your session is restored and how you can configure it."
I have it set up, in "Tools", "Options", etc., for my windows and tabs to reopen & be restored to the webpages that they were previously at before I, for one reason or another, restarted my computer! But, after I restart my computer and the Firefox browser, it always goes to my homepage; the windows & tabs NEVER restart as they should!
It wasn't always like this. It has only been within the last few weeks that this has become a constant and consistent problem. I assume that a Firefox update somehow disabled something & that's why it isn't working properly but, whatever...
How do I fix this so that my windows & tabs reopen as they should!?

Have you checked to make sure that under>> Options >> General >> That the startup behavior is appropriately? I had the same problem after upgrading and setting my homepage. It should be set to "show my windows and tabs from last time".
Just re-read your post. sounds like you've tried this already.

Why MSI DKA 790GX platinum BIOS 1.7 dun have EEP mode for DRAM setting

hihi,
may i know why MSI DKA 790GX platinum BIOS 1.7 dun have EEP mode for DRAM setting?
cos i cant see EEP using CPUZ.

Quote from: Fredrik on 22-May-09, 09:15:00
I have no good answer, just a rule of thumb: After a BIOS updae, pull power cable out and clear CMOS.
In this thread it says Kingston may not have EPP settings, but if it worked previously... Perhaps the memory controller didn't understand you had that memory to begin with?
Better ask: Is everything the same, before and after update? Why did you update?
Quote:
1.7 Update Date 2009-03-31
Description - Update CPU module.
- Update memory module.
- Fixed SmartFan function cannot work properly after resume from S3.
i update to v1.7 because when i first plug in the 1066Mhz RAM, it only show 800Mhz in bios, so i update to v1.7 as the update include "update memory module".
anyway my system is fine, as i have run 8 hr of memtest.
just want to know why there's no EPP option in v1.7
p/s. I think i saw EPP option in v1.6 using the same RAM.

Unless Verizon has a special provision in this regard that ATT has never had, Apple handles all iPhone repairs and exchanges under Apple's warranty.
There is a setting when capturing photos - Automatic, On, or Off for the flash when capturing photos.
If there is no flash when set to On or Automatic in a dark setting and no change after the standard troubleshooting steps which in order are:
Power your iPhone off and on.
An iPhone reset.
Restoring your iPhone with iTunes from the backup.
Restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
Your iPhone has a hardware problem. You can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

Thanks, but I've done that several times & it still says I need administraive privileges. I had itunes installed with no problems until I did the latest update. After that it just disappeared, so I tried reinstalling. Now I can't sync my phone. This is so frustrating!

I have everything set for Arabic fonts and the keyboard as well. When I type in WORD or EXCEL I just get individual Arabic letters, but they never connect, they should be for example like this الس but they always appear like that ا ل س

MS Word for Mac has never supported Arabic. You have to use other apps. Mellel is best, but Pages 5, TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or Open/LibreOffice should work OK.
Sometimes you can make Word for Mac do connected Arabic if you are editing a document created with Windows Word.

Why such sorry sound quality on iTunes? On some of my purchases the sound level is suppressed on the audio. On others the volume is so low that if I have it set for another song and a new one starts I have to increase the volume to hear it.

Why such sorry sound quality on iTunes? On some of my purchases the sound level is suppressed on the audio. On others the volume is so low that if I have it set for another song and a new one starts I have to increase the volume to hear it.
There is so much distortion on some of the music I have to play it with QuickTime to get a "clean" track.
What can be done to get a consistent volume level or is this another typical Apple product that you have to take what you get and be happy because it's not a Microsoft product?

If that's the best you can do why don't you get on another forum?

QUICKTIME [7.4.1] Why can't get from auto-update?

I'm trying to get the new quicktime from the auto/update, but it says my software is upto date / but when i checked online the new version was available only from its website,,, so whys it not there in autoupdate, is there a problem in the new version / which is why apple is not it putting on,,, help plz?

Lawrence,
Thanks for your reply.
So to affirm your point, I agree there are certain users who (for whatever reasons) prefer to evaluate and research the available consensus on every single update published for every single of their apps. So yes, my want to have apps on the iPhone auto-update (vs being required to manually click to update them) might frustrate some. To that end, I'd imagine there are very few features (like an auto update) a company could add to a heavily used system (like Apple's iOS) without generating some controversy; the auto-update I want is no exception.
That said, the argument that the majority (or even a significant minority) of users wouldn't want to receive the most updated versions of the apps they have on their phones seems a bit thin. Updates are just that: "up to date" versions of their software. The onus is on the developers to release functioning and improved updates; that's an obligation Apple should reinforce if they desire a robust and diverse ecology of apps to augment the utility and value of their phones.
The present dynamic assumes iPhone users want to invest their time evaluating and collecting research on the viability of each new update to their apps. That's ridiculous and implies a mistrust of both their app publishers, as well as the effectiveness of a democratic marketplace:
App publishers want to do right by their users, thus they want to release good updates, and
A marketplace of user ratings and reviews influence other user behavior, so an irresponsible developer wouldn't get very far releasing crap updates.

Why do some Smart Playlists Auto-Update while some don't?

I followed the old thread about auto-updating smart playlists not updating automatically on the iPod. Apparently the 2006-1-10 update fixes it, but some smart playlists still aren't updating for me. The simple rating-based playlists work (they update), but more complex smart playlists such as this do not work:
Match All Following Rules:
Podcast is true
Playcount is 0
Time is less than 11:00
Kind contains audio
According to this support document: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301910 smart playlists should update based on any criteria, but I'm not seeing that. Am I doing something wrong? What types of smart playlists have people gotten to work?
Thanks.

Thank you for keeping this discussion alive, and for the continued troubleshooting and evaluation.
I have yet to hear back from Level 2 Support regarding the Podcast-Smart Playlist issue, but in the meanwhile, http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1514307#1514307 remains active if people would like it to, and the most recently update from Level 2 is here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1683550 (30 Jan).
Kind regards,
Gopha.
