Why does my update.exe file contain personal information?

My friend could not connect to websites. Upon trying to assist with his problem, I found out he was using Internet Explorer, and not Firefox. Since he could not access website to download, I downloaded the firefox .exe file and sent it to him over the instant message.
Upon successful installation he found his browser contained my bookmarks and other personal information. How is this possible, or even acceptable?

That shouldn't cause personal data to appear, unless you have had installed Firefox in the past on that computer and Firefox has been uninstalled, but the personal data has not been removed. In that case the previously created profile will be found and used automatically.

Why does sync update unused files.

Why does the ipod touch update files that have not been used? I have a list of songs that I have not actually listened to and as they get used once they are removed from the list. So I go to update the ipod after listening to a couple of albums but instead of just updating the 30 some odd songs or so it is updating 300+ songs. Every time I go to sync my ipod touch it always ends up playing with more songs than it needs too and I am wondering why this is and also wondering if this is one of the reasons that I keep loosing album covers.

Why does the ath.exe file stop working in the middle of backing up to ICloud? How do I fix this?

While trying to back up to our ICloud account, the ATH.exe file stops working. How do I fix this?

Hi Jaynet, thanks for your reply.
My cells do contain values so that's no problem. It's a very simple setup where I have 2x6 cells with a couple of parameters that are to be used by all my connections in the workbook.
Using vb code to update the "forgotten" parameters inside the connections was something I also was thinking could be a solution. Just felt it would be a shame when the functionality for what I'm trying to do cleary has been built
in to excel in a very simple way through the UI.
Before I go down the vb route I'm gonna see if I can find more info about any fixes for this bug in excel, maybe a hot patch or something like that. (I can't speak vb so building such a thing is going to take a while for me as I have to take bits
and pieces I find around the web to get stuff working) :)

Why does CC update .png files only some of the time?

I am creating some lower thirds from a template in PS, saving them as .png files and bringing them into the project. When I get updates from our clients, I will make those changes in the .psd, and save over the original .png file. Sometimes CC will update that file in the project without having to re-import and everything is fine. It isnt a huge hassle to just replace the file but Id like to know why it only works some of the time.

Hi Landshrkk,
The script only outputs the names of the services that have deployments, because the get-azuredeployment cmdlet encounter error and didn't pass the result to select cmdlet, please try the script below:
$output=@()
Select-AzureSubscription MyAzureSubscription
$ServiceNames = Get-azureservice
foreach ($service in $ServiceNames){
$ServiceName = $service | select -ExpandProperty ServiceName
$ServiceDateModified = $service | select -ExpandProperty DateModified
$s=$service |get-azuredeployment -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorVariable NoDeployment
$output += New-Object PSObject -Property @{
ServiceName = $ServiceName
DeploymentName = $s.DeploymentName
Status = $s.Status
CreatedTime = $s.CreatedTime
LastModifiedTime = $s.LastModifiedTime
ServiceDateModified = $ServiecDateModified
NoDeployment = $NoDeployment}
$output|Sort-Object -Propert DeploymentName |export-csv "outputfile.csv" -notypeinformation
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.
Best Regards,
Anna Wang

Why does JRockit updates lag behind Sun's?

If I understand correctly, JRockit's class libraries are exactly the same as Sun's.
Sun has already released update 8 for their 1.5.0 JRE, and JRockit is still at update 6, which means that the class library bugs fixed in update 7 and 8 are still present in JRockit.
Why does JRockit updates lag behind Sun's? Judging by [url http://forums.bea.com/bea/message.jspa?messageID=600038245&tstart=0]this post, this lag is measured in months!
Doesn't the VM development happen separate from the class libraries? It should be possible to release a new JRE with the "stable", QA'd JRockit VM and the newest class library (with all its bug fixes) within a week or so, instead of months.

The class libraries are almost identical, correct. But a JDK update from Sun almost always contains changes in other components than just the class libraries. Some of these affect JRockit, in particular the native libraries (AWT, I/O, etc). Changes in the class libraries may cause performance or stability regressions.
With every release of JRockit we certify our JDK (Sun classes + JRockit JVM + other components) on a large number of platforms. We did a count earlier this year and came up with around 80 different combinations of JDK level, OS and hardware that we have to test in every release by the end of this year.
On these platforms we run a huge set of tests, including performance and stress tests. Even though a large part of our QA is automated, it is simply not possible to run everything in parallel so there is a certain minimum amount of time this certification takes. On top of that we have a set of time-consuming tests that have to be run manually.
To summarize it is simply not possible to do this without some lag. And JRockit has a much quicker uptake than almost all other 3rd party JDK providers (many of them with JVMs based on Sun HotSpot). One example is that it took IBM almost 18 months to get their first J2SE 5.0 implementation out of the door.

Why does Illustrator open this file incorrect (coloured polygon becomes uncoloured)

I have an eps file that opens incorrect in Illustrator (CS6, CS4, 10 I tested). I wonder why this happens. The path seems to be complex, but Photoshop and Distiller converts/opens this file correct. So this seems to be a bug in Illustrator. I ca send you the file.
How can this be solved?
Patrick.

Please explain me where I can put my file? Can I email it to you? Can I upload this to this forum?
Patrick.

Why does Adobe update the Creative Cloud?

Why does Adobe update the Creative Cloud and not to software I purchased to the same level?

See also: FASB revenue recognition GAAP
To the best of my recollection, that is what the Adobe rep mentioned. If you look up that phrase, the top return in Google is a PDF file explaining how it works. Good luck understanding it even if you're a CPA.
John Waller has added another link on that revenue law.
To be clear, the accounting issue called GAAP for revenue recognition states that the way Adobe counts R&D and development costs are applied to a specific product version for that version's lifetime. So, all of the Photoshop CS6 perpetual license development cost are applied against the revenue produced by that specific version. Adobe is allowed to add bug fixes and maintenance updates, but no new features for the life of that version. And, yes, this sucks for several reasons not the least of which is that the engineers are forced to try to shove as much new stuff into the most recent version and any updates that can be done prior to the end of the quarter in which a version ships because after that date, new features can't be added.
Generally accepted accounting procedures pretty much force Adobe into this accounting. Yes, there are other accounting methods that would mitigate this, and the subscription license is one such option. Since the subscription revenue os an ongoing stream, Adobe can add new features as functionality to subscription users. Unfortunately, the users of a perperual license can not get those new features and functionality, only new bug fixes.
The bottom line is that sucscription users get the added advantage of getting new features and functionality while perperual license users do not. Yep...kinda sucks, but it is, what it is and it's not really Adobe's fault...the accounting regulations I believe actually came into enforcement because of the whole Enron scandle...
I realize this sort of explanation is akin to talking about sausage making...nobody really want to know how sausage is made, they just want to eat it. Same deal with Photoshop users...nobody really want to know how Adobe has to do their accounting, but the realities dictate what Adobe can and can't do...
BTW, this all has zero to do with state sales tax...although there my be state to state differences on whether a state charges tax for software. But that has zero to do with Photoshop development.

Why does the update icon always on my desktop photoshop elements 10 icon

why does the update icon always stay on the photoshop 10 icon on my desktop?

We don't know because update function is hidden so deep in the Menu bar's help item that many people don't even know about it. Now you are telling us that an icon is on your desktop so this is completely unusual.
Are you sure it is not the icon for the PSE10 to make it easy for you to launch it? Can you post a screenshot of what is on your desktop.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Why does the update change my home page and make Google so prevelant?

Several of the last "updates" involved the changing of my bookmarks and home page,. The so called update required me to spend more time in refreshing the browser to its previous condition. This is frustrating to say the least. Second why does the updated version of of firefox seem to favor google?

Normally, an update does not change your home page...
What did you home page change to? That might help identify the source of the problem.
I assume you have tried changing your home page back to your preferred site, either in the Options dialog or using one of the other methods:
* [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
* [[How to set the home page]]
Did that work at all? By "at all" I mean:
* Immediately after making the change, if you click the Home button, or launch a new window using Ctrl+n, does your preferred page load? Or is that ignored?
* Does the setting revert later in your session (you see in Options it has changed)?
* Does the setting revert after you exit and start Firefox up again?
* Is the problem only when you use your Firefox desktop shortcut?
With that information, it will be easier to recommend a solution.
I'm not sure I understand your second question. Google has always been the default search provider in Firefox. Are you seeing even more Google than that?

If you did not see the dialog box asking if you wanted to delete from the hard drive, I think this may be one of those options where you can say "Don't ask again," meaning until you trash your iTunes prefs, it will cease asking the question.

Why does Safari automatically download files? I want option to download.

Why does Safari automatically download files? I want option to download or not. I didn't think it used to automatically download. But now every time I click on a file that has been sent to me it does give me an option to view or not..it just automatically downloads it. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Why does Safari automatically download files?
That's what Apple decided it should do. It's not my preferred option either to be honest.
I didn't think it used to automatically download.
Safari has always done this. Maybe in the past you had a third-party application installed that did this for Safari.
Any suggestions?
Safari menu > Report Bugs to Apple... or http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
For more immediate action, have a search around www.macupdate.com or www.versiontracker.com to see if such an 'extension' exists to force Safari to prompt on download. (Bear in mind these kind of things can be sensitive to the version of Safari they're used with, so if Safari starts crashing down the line they would be the primary suspects to remove)

Why does AAM Updates Notifier run so much?

Why does AAM Updates Notifier run so much? It seems to really be working my hard drive.

AAM updater launches automatically as you start the computer, so you can try preventing it from auto launch as per the operating system.
Though it is not recommended much. you can check it is Re: How to deinstall AAM Update Notifier
Moving it to download & install for resolution.
