Why do your updates with the Reader and Shockwave come with Malware?

Twice I received updates from your company for the Adobe reader and the Adobe shockware that contained Maleware. Today was one of them.
I also do not like all the ads for downloads that come with the updates. How do I stop this from happening?

First, you are not addressing Adobe here, just fellow users. There is no Adobe personnel assigned to answer questions in this forum.
Second, please give more details. From where are downloading your programs? The Adobe sites do not have ads, and I know of no reports about malware downloaded from them. If you are receiving both, most probably your computer is infected.

Why do your updates delete my toolbars and mcafee site advisor?

dude i am sick of this happening. every time you send me an update you eradicate my yahoo toolbar along with all my quick launch apps. and my mcafee site advisor also gets taken from me. one more update like this and i'm deleting mozilla.

This is not a mcafee issue. Its a mozilla update issue. Every time i get an update from mozilla i have to download my yahoo toolbar and mcafee site dvisor all over again. Anyway lets drop it because mozilla obviously doesnt care. Thanks for nothing mozilla.

Download updates for the lion and I read the writing could not save any of the selected updates. Why?

why after Download updates for the lion 10.7 and I read the writing could not save any of the selected updates and I can't upgrade the software ?

The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
Power down. Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore.
No trouble at all once I did this.
Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
Hope it helps.

Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

When I download software updates why do they appear on the desktop (and in devices) and not get saved to the HD (I click install to HD but they don't go there)

Double-click the white Adobe Reader Icon to open a new windows.
Double-Click the "Adobe Reader X Installer.pkg" file inside.
If it has already been installed it will notify you and say that it has been installed already.
If you no longer have those files go here to get the latest version of Adobe Reader.
http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Let me know how that all goes and if you have any hang ups.
ON TO THE NEXT POINT OF INTEREST
It sounds to me from researching the other white 'icon' you have that you are trying to install a copier by the brand of Rico Aficio.
Possibly the Aficio 2090/2105.
If so the install CD/Driver download for that copier must have also wanted you to install Adobe Reader to view the User Guides/ Documentation included.
If you are trying to install said device then double click the white icon labeled Ricoh_Aficio...double click the installer file inside of that.
It should run a setup/install window like Adobe Reader did then go from there. If it has already been install also you can go to your System Preferences -> Printers to see if it installed correctly and is working properly.
You can get to system preferences by clicking the Apple icon very upper left on your screen and selecting it from the drop down.

I need help with boot camp. "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."

This message appears every time I try to partition my disk:
"Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
I verified my Macintosh HD disk on Disk utility and then tried to repair it, but I am unable to click the repair button.
It says it's not available because the startup disk is selected.
I don't know what to do or how to go about both these problems.
Please, any suggestions?

HT5022 I'm trying to add a "new client" to my wireless network using Airport Utility, but I can't find that option in the new version. I've downloaded all available updates of the OS and the utility.. Help!

I'm trying to add my HP wireless printer as a "new client" to my wireless network using Airport Utility, but I can't find that option in the new version. I've downloaded all available updates of the OS and the utility.. Help!

Why would you need to ADD a new Client. Unless the APE sytem is completely different then any other Wireless router the printer should get an IP address from the router. That is IF the printer is setup to get an IP from the LAN DHCP server.
Now you may want to make that IP it does get a Staticly assign IP address so it never changes, which will screw up printing if it does change. But i don't know if you can do that with APE routers.

Safari 8.0.2 updated on the 20Jan2015 and Link from Mail do not open | Advertisement pages opens | Blank page do not open on new window click, etc

Hi!
Safari 8.0.2 was last updated on the 20Jan2015 and is my default browser.
Below listed are issues with Safari after last two updates.
When I click web link from mail, Safari does not open that link. I changed to Chrome browsing & it works.
When I click to open new window from the dock, I get last browsing page of the previous opened window web page, where by my setting is for a bank page for a new safari window. .
Every time I click on the link to open in the same browsing web page, a new tab opens with advertisement web page. How can I stop advertisement pages to open automatically.
Safari does not open first time by one finger single click on the safari icon from dock, need two finger click and then select the preferences.
Thanks, will await your assistance & if required updated version at the soonest.

Did you check your user name and password in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your email account, tap SMTP, then tap the primary server name. Make sure the settings there are correct.

I updated to the iSO6 and my phone now keeps crashing while saying, "Invalid SIM." What do I do?

Thank you very much! I actually tried doing that with a paper clip but was not successsful. I feel I tried plugging in the clip in in every possible way and it still did not work. Is there is a special trick to the way this needs to be done? I felt like if I kep pushing, I was going to damage the device.

Accounts updated by the taxes and customization

From where can I see which accounts are updated by the taxes and from where I can customize it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Yasar,
You can have a check by the acct key assigned in your pricing procedure.
Select the cond type in your case it is the tax and go to the acct key.
now select the acct key in the img screen search and relate to your relevant key and from there you can find out ur acct.
generally taxes on sales/purch go into mwst account.
do tell me if it worked out for you.

Why my IPad update cannot be unload and is empty

Why my IPad update cannot be unload and is empty?

If you are getting the blank app update screen, many people are having this problem over the last few days. If you see the red notification numbers on the App Store icon, you have apps that do need to be updated.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.

How to allow Flash, Reader, and Shockwave installations through the firewall?

When I allow a single machine to full access through the firewall on port 80, all three products install flawlessly. I am trying to narrow this down and only open the specific IP ranges used by adobe. Does anyone know which ones need to be allowed for this to work? Also, I do know about the standalone files that can be downloaded and then installed to avoid the firewall issue, but I would like to allow all users who bring their own devices to install these products. With the below IP address open through port 80, I am able to install Flash almost every time, but Reader and Shockwave are less reliable. Thank you for any help you can provide.

I have a method that works for FLASH player, but am trying to come up with a method for the other 2 myself. To automate flash player, I created a Policy and added the following:
Under Computer Config, Prefrences, Windows Setting, Files I created a new File Item.
I set Action = Replace, Created a Source File named mms.cfg* (more below) and have the destination file as systemroot%\System32\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg (or %systemroot%\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg for x64)
I used notepad to edit the mms.cfg, and used the following in the body:
AutoUpdateDisable=0
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
AutoUpdateInterval=0
My non-admin users now update flash in the background silently and automatically.

TS1702 Looking for support as can not download two purchased app's that have updated showing needing update. The iPad app just comes back as retry. I have contacted to I tunes and still not working. Can you help

Have two purchased app's that need to have updateds down. On Ipad 2 keep getting messenge try again. Have linked to I tune, but nothing working. Please help.

If the system reset doesn't work, here are a couple of other things that you can try.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again.
