Why do I continue to receive update notices while using a mms.cfg that disables auto update?

My Flash Player Settings panel looks like this:
Mms.cfg contains: (encoded w/ UTF-8)
AutoUpdateDisable=1
AutoUpdateInterval=0
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0
Explain to me why users are now receiving prompts that there is a flash update available? Our users do not have local administrator and updates cannot be installed by the user.

The OS, Flash version(s), and file locations are as follows:
     Windows 7 x64
     Internet Explorer 9
          Flash Player 11.1.102.55 - 32-bit Active X
               C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg
          Flash Player 11.1.102.55 - 64-bit Active X
               C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg
So far I can recreate the scenario easily. Initially, after installing Flash (via SCCM) I don't have updates disabled. After I deploy the mms.cfg to a system, I restart. After the restart the user is prompted to install the latest Flash update. I saw this consistently on 26 machines yesterday.

I use firefox portable and have disabled auto-update in Options, but it still automatically downloaded and installed version 16.0.2 from 14.0.1

I use Firefox portable 14.0.1 and it was displaying you are on release update channel. Even with the auto-update option disabled, it updated to version 16.0.2 thus resulting in some of my add-ons not working.

Support for Firefox Portable is here - http://portableapps.com/forums/support/firefox_portable

10.4.11 was only available as a PowerPC updater application (both as a Combo and as a Delta) to Macs with 10.4 or later that were PowerPC. If you don't have 10.4 installed on your Mac, see this tip:

Be more specific. Do you mean after changing an email password, it says you have an 'Incorrect Password', or something else. My scenario is correct, than it's just the way Apple works.

Why do I continue to receive notifications, even after I change my preferences?

why do I continue to receive notifications, even after I change my preferences? I had about 100 or so today. I switched all of my notification anwers to NO, as in , I don't want to receive any email from apple communities whatsoever. ??? Thanks.

You need to double check that you aren't subscribed to the community, not just to the question you asked. Go to the community that you are receiving the emails from and the same box called "Actions" will appear there just like it does next to the individual question. Make sure that you are not reciveing email notifications for that community. Probably the community where you asked your question. Typically that is what causes people to get 100's of email notifications. I think that this is not included in the tutorial so a lot of people miss it.
Hope that works for you.

Why do I continue to receive an error msg when converting files from pdf to Word?

Why do I continue to receive an error msg when converting pdf files to Word?

HI tatamene,
I'm sorry that you're having trouble converting a document. For starters, have you verified that your account is active? (You can check by logging in to www.adobe.com and checking under My Subscriptions and Services). Aside from that, I'll need a little more info to get to the bottom of your problem.
Are you trying to convert the file from within Reader, or directly via the ExportPDF website?
What operating system and browser are you using?
How large is the file that you're trying to convert? (There's a file-size limit of 100 MB.)
Is the computer that you're using networked?
Do other files convert without error?
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

Disable auto-updates/Adobe Application Manager

there is no forum for this - I use Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 non-CC on macbook pro running 10.8.5 or 10.9.2. I would like to not have AAM search for updates in the background, but initiate the **search** for updates manually. The reason is that I live a bit off the grid and pay quite a lot per minute, and AAM kept the internet connection open the whole night, even though the browser said it was closed.
I only found instructions for CS5:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/disable-auto-updates-application-manager.html
does this work for CS6 the same way? I am by no means a system admin but I can replace this AdobeUpdaterPrefs.dat file. (and keep the original else where)
thanks.
edit: why on earth does adobe insist on displaying my real name in a public forum, when it even asks me to make a screen name first. There is no forum for this either, I guess.

that is gone, thanks.

Disable auto update

Hi
I have a couple of databases running on Azure SQL. They all are the Basis Edition.
I'm experiencing that two of these databases keep being upgraded to Web Edition. When I scale them down to basis edition or even Standard S1 edition, one of them gets auto scaled to Web Edition.
I don't know why this occours and I would like to have it stopped. I'm not sure as to whether there is a disable auto update functionality at manage.windowsazure.com. Neither am I sure if there is some setting in my ASP.NET Web.Config that will do the trick.
Help would be appreaciated.

Hi adksmm,
Usually, in SQL Azure database platform, we can change service tiers using Azure Management Portal, PowerShell, or T-SQL statement, or REST API . If you want to modify a database via T-SQL statement in SQL
Azure database, you must be connected to the master database to alter a database. If MAXSIZE is set to a value of 1 GB or 5 GB and EDITION is not specified, the database edition will automatically be set to Web Edition. For more information,
see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff394109.aspx
If you choose downgrade to a lower service tier via Azure Management Portal, you need to manually change the edition options, performance level via GUI. In addition, if you can write Azure PowerShell command to
specify the service tier, the performance level, and the maximum size for the database. However, there is no auto update functionality or option for you disabling them at SQL Azure database platform. For more information about changing
database service tiers and performance levels, you can revies the following article.

Disabling auto-update doesn't work

I need to stop at Firefox 14 for now, and need to prevent auto-updates.
In Firefox 14.0.1 when I disable auto-update by setting 'never check for updates', and/or use about:config to clear 'app.update.url', both settings are ignored. When I close and re-open Firefox, auto-update is again enabled, and the update URL is again set.
Recommendations?

As it turns out, it's not a matter of 'preferences not being saved'.
It's Firefox spontaneously changing my preferences at start-time.
I've been testing; here's what i discover.
1. I install FF14, start it the first time, and disable auto-update (via Tools/Options/Advanced)
At this point - prefs.js in my profile now starts with
user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
2. now I exit FF.
prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
3. i restart FF (#1)
prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
4. i close FF
prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
5. I restart FF (#2)
NOW prefs.js has dropped those 2 initial lines, and starts with user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.addon-........etc
Firefox is spontaneously changing my prefs.js.
Before this series of tests I adjusted the prefs.js in all other profiles in this XPSP3 machine to start with
user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
This is obnoxious.
I expect better from Mozilla.
Suggestions?

How to Disable Auto Updates on Flash Player 10 using mms.cfg

Hi Friends,
I am a newbee into this.I am trying to install a customized Adobe Flash Player 10.2.153.1 in which auto updates are disabled. I went through the Adobe guidelines and found that it is possible to do the same using a MMS.CFG file. Can anyone tell me how exactly this would look like. I will be extremely thankful if someone can attach a sample of the same.
One more question...
When we disable auto updates using mms.cfg file, will this be updated in the Global Settings Manager ?
Tries from my end till now:
I tried to create a mms.cfg by editing a txt file and adding "AutoUpdateDisable=0 " and then saving teh same as mms.cfg using UTF-8 encoding. this didnt make any difference in the Global Settings manager.
Please help me...
Regards,
Dilip

No, I don't think so; these settings are stored in a different place.
Some users have reported that AutoUpdateDisable via mms.cfg does no longer work in Flash Player 10.3. Please check if this failure already occurs in Flash Player 10.2.

How to disable auto updates

How does one disable "check for automatic updates" in Java 6, version 17? On the Update tab, the box is checked, but it is grayed out and won't let me un-select it.
Thanks for any help.

You may select how and whether Firefox updates, although like most software it may be sensible to keep it up-to-date, it is more likely to remain secure and compatible with other software whilst up to date.

I have noticed while using pen tool that I have to wait before the small square appears.

I have noticed while using pen tool that I have to wait before the small square appears. Tenth of a second, but this is disturbing on a daily basis. Is there any solution?

It seems that in your version of InDesign, the image preview is grayed out while you are editing the picture frame with the pen tool. Not the case with my version of CS5 for macintosh.
But I think this is a bad way to work. If you want the path only to affect text wrap, then edit the text wrap path. This is more versatile than editing the frame because you can have text appear over part of the image visible below text. This of a bird in flight in a light sky. The text wrap can surround the bird so text can appear in the sky. Your method does not permit this.
If you are editing the frame’s path because you also want to crop the image, then you’d be better off doing that in Photoshop by adding either a clipping path in the Paths panel or a mask in the Layers panel. If it’s an Illustrator file then add a clipping mask.
I find InDesign’s pen tool and general path editing to be significantly inferior to Illustrator’s. If I need to have an editable path in InDesign that I would draw much more easily in Illustrator, then I do that and copy the path back. It comes in as a simple unassigned frame, which I can then convert to a picture frame or a text frame and copy/paste the contents into the new frame. That may suit you if the above suggestions are inappropriate.
