  • Can't update Firefox from version3.0.10. Firefox option is NA under automatic update. Check for updates is NA under Help menu. How can I update?

    On my Windows Vista 64 bit laptop, I have Firefox version 3.0.10.
    I want to update to the most current version but all update options are grayed out.
    On the automatic update screen under Advanced Options tab, the word FIREFOX is grayed out, so I can't select it.
    Under the HELP Menu, the CHECK FOR UPDATES is also grayed out.
    Somehow, something has happened along the way & now my Firefox can not/will not update itself.
    I do NOT share this computer with anyone & I am the Administrator.
    How can I get it fixed so it will automatically update Firefox again?
    And how do I find out what the latest version # of Firefox is?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • There's no 'check for updates' on my itunes help menu

    I am trying to update itunes on my windows laptop, but there's no 'Check for updates' on my help menu!  I nave 11.04, but there's and 11.05 and I want to update before installing IOS 7

    Thanks AnaMusic. I didn't realise that I needed OS X Lion installed on my MacBook Pro. Bought it and installed and the icon is now there Now I'm faced with having to familiarise myself with the new features of OsX Lion and it is truly overwhelming. A step-by-step approach is called for I suppose. Thanks so much for your help

  • Why doesn't "Save Tabs as" appear in my files menu any more?

    Those are all the details I have. "Save tabs as" isn't an option in my files menu now, so I can't save a tab as a .maff file anymore. I have a screen shot of the menu, but I don't know how to include it with the question, since there doesn't seem to be any way to add an attachment to the message.

    You can see the Add image, below the comment box to add your screenshot.
    If you want to keep your tabs always try with session manager addon

  • Check for updates not working in 9 pro

    I am running Acrobat 9 pro on a Vista machine. Acrobat appears to have been malfunctioning (bates numbering is not working properly), and I uninstalled (and deactivated) Acrobat, and then reinstalled it.
    After reinstallation, I used the check for updates feature in the help menu to update from 9.0 to 9.2. But now every time I run Check for updates from Help, nothing updates. I get a dialog that there is an available update, and then an icon System Tray appears and a process is active for AdobeARM.exe. But nothing ever happens-no update. I then force close the process from the task manager, and still no success in getting Acrobat to update.
    What can I do? Thanks very much.

    LeoAdobeX:
    Thank you for your rely. Here is the more detrailed info:
    1. I pulled down the Help menu and chose Check for Updates.
    2. A dialog appeared that said an update was available; I clicked on the button that indicated I wanted to download and install the update
    3. Nothing further appeared onscreengiving my information or choice, but an incon then appeared in the system tray for the installer.
    4. Hovering over the icon does not pop up any status information. If I click, double click, or right click on the incon in the system tray nothing pops up, and nothing appears. At that point I get absolutely no response.
    5. If I go to task manager at that point it shows the active process AdobeARM.exe and gives no indication of it malfunctioning. But nothing installs and nothing downloads and nothing happens.
    6. If I then pull down the Help menu and chose Check forUpdates again, I get a dialog that says the updater is already running.
    7. All of this occured immedaitely after I reinstalled 9 pro.
    I hope this additional info helps. Thanks very much.

  • CR2011 - Check for updates option

    Hello,
    I remember reading a few weeks ago that there was an update for CR2011. I selected the check for updates option on the help menu. I saw a dialog box that said that there were no updates. Is the menu option working?
    Thank you

  • Need detailed instructions on how to enable " Check for Updates" option on the Firefox installation directory for Windows XP.

    I have Firefox 2.0 (running Windows XP) and want to update it to 3.6, but the "Check for updates" option on the Help menu is grayed out and need to enable this option by changing permissions on the Firefox installation directory. I need detailed instructions on how to access the Firefox installation directory and change the permissions.
    Can someone please assist?
    Thank you.

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox#Mac_OS_X
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
    Install the new version that you have downloaded.

  • ITunes doesn't know how to check for updates?

    So i know that there is a noew version of iTunes, 6.0.4, why when i check for updates in iTunes does it say that 6.0.3 is the current version? it did this also when 6.0.3 was released. i'm kinda confused here, shouldn't iTunes just check the website and if there is a newer version tell me?

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • How to Disable Check for updates button in Help/About in firefox 5.0

    Hi the user should not manually check for updates so we want to disable the Check for updates button also in Help/About.

    You can hide that button with code in userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

  • Check for update not working for Patch 2???

    I am running 1.0.0.14.67. When I run the Check For Update command it says there are no updates available even though Patch 2 is now on the OTN site. Is there anything I can try other than downloading the whole new zip and migrating my install?
    Previously I have successfully used the update centre to install new patches for the various extensions, so I don't think it's a problem with my firewall settings.
    Cheers, APC

    Ok - one other thing. If you run check for updates, then the front "Help > About " will not change. So this will still show 1.0.0.14.67, but the Extensions tab will change. Can you just confirm that? Check out the screen shot in this FAQ. So the various extensions will show the 15.57 updates if patch 2 is already installed.
    As far as I'm aware we do not have the patch set available as a separate bundle. I'll have to wake to for Kris to get in (west coast) before we can check that.

  • Patch 1.1.3 - check for updates not working?

    Hi all;
    I can't get the check for updates to work.
    Help/About shows I am running version 1.1.2.25, build main 25.79
    Help/check for updates has the "Official Oracle extensions and Updates" and the "Oracle SQL Developer" boxes checked
    When I search, it says no updates available. Do I need need to add another Update Center?
    I'm running it on Windows XP, SP2
    Thanks
    Al

    Try Help -> About -> Extensions and check the version
    of Oracle SQL Developer. If this shows 1.1.3.27.66,
    then you have already upgraded to 1.1.3.
    Unfortunately, the version details on Help -> About
    -> About are the details of the last full install -
    they are not updated when upgrading via Check for
    Updates.That is it. Thank you very much for your help
    Al

  • My Firefox 3.6.20 does not display Firefox 6.0 when "Check For Updates", instead it shows that No Updates Available. Why is that?

    I just today updated to Firefox 3.6.20 from Firefox 3.6.18. I tried checking for new updates again using the Check for Updates option under Help and it said that "There are no updates available. Firefox will check periodically for updates." I am looking for Firefox 6 update, but it does not find it. This happened before when I tried to search for Firefox 5 when I had Firefox 3.6.18 and before Firefox 6 came out. Why does it not detect the latest version of Firefox when there is clearly a newer version out there?

    Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
    BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
    Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • Add-ons - Check for updates doesn't work

    Hi
    In FF5 i found that the "Check for Updates" and "Update Add-ons Automatically" does not work for plugins. I notice in FF6 that a link has appeared "Check to see if your plugins are up to date".
    However i've now discovered that in FF6, "Check for Updates", "Find Updates" (from the right-click menu of a particular add-on) and "Update Add-ons Automatically" did not work for extensions either.
    Please see here for evidence https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/862250
    My question is - is Check for Updates / Update Add-ons automatically intended to work for either plugins or extensions. If so, has the bug been reported, if not, why is it there?
    thanks ...

    That is because the creator hasn't uploaded that new version yet to the Add-ons site and if he has done that then the extension still needs to be approved before updating will work.<br />
    Such unapproved extension usually appear first on the versions page (e.g. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/speed-dial/versions/) waiting for review, but that hasn't happened yet if this case.
    Plugins always need to be updated manually by visiting the website or via an alert from the plugin (Java and Shockwave do that)
