Wish: Check for Updates on the Help menu
both Opera & Firefox have a "Check for Updates" on their Help menu. I wish that Safari for Windows would also have the same thing.
I don't like "Apple Software Update" and wish that it was not part of the Safari installation.
I prefer to manually check for updates.
I don't like "Apple Software Update" and wish that it was not part of the Safari installation.
ASU is optional. You can uncheck it during installation or you can uninstall it later through "Add/Remove programs".

Can't find "Check for updates" option in Help menu
Hello
I am planning to update several adobe reader installations over a windows domain. First of all, I tried to do it in one particular machine without administrative privileges (not being Local Administrator).
I am surprised of not finding the "Check for updates" option. What is more, there is no topic in the forums about this issue (?).
Please, could anyone tell me what am I missing?
Thanks in advance.Yes I'm afraid that update must be run with administrative privileges... But there must be another way of updating a product across a network of 400+ clients without login in all of them ...
I'm trying with adobeupdatechecker, to see if it is possible some kind of automation. -
I currently have iTunes version 7 on my computer and need to upgrade to version 10 to sync my new nano iPod. When I tried the "check for updates" under the version 7 "help" menu, it said it could not contact the update server. I am afraid if I just download version 10 from the website, it will wipe out my music library. What should I do to upgrade?
Back up your music and install from the website. You probably won't need to do this, but if your library is erased, restore it from the backup.

anyone else getting a timed out error message when trying to check for updates via the app store software on a desktop?
Hi, couple of things to try...

Post subject: NSURLErrorDomain error -1100 in OS X 10.8
If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

I was recently trying to upgrade to mountain lion through the app store. I have unreliable Internet from a cable company whom I will not name, but we all know who they are. My Internet dropped while downloading the upgrade. Once I went through the notorious unplug the modem/router and plugged it back in to gain Internet connectivity again, I could not resume. No matter what I did, the app store kept displaying "an error occurred." I am hoping that those with the same issue read this first to save them hours of skimming through the Internet to find a solution. Here are the steps to take:
1. Make sure you have reestablished Internet connection
2. Chances are you got frustrated when you tried to resume/unpause the download and clicked the "X" to the left. If so, select the "Store" drop-down menu from the App Store and select "View My Account." There should be an option to unhide your purchase. You know what to do.
3. There is also an option to reset all warnings for buying and downloading under "View My Account." Do this, click "Done," sign out of the App Store and quit the App Store.
4. Open the Preferences in safari and select Privacy. Select "Remove All Website Data." Just do it.
5. Launch the app store and sign in.
6. Now, if you "Check for Unfinished Downloads" everything works peachy.
I hope this helps. Not much I can do for your Internet connection though.

"Check for Updates..." menu item missing Acrobat 9 Mac
Trying a clean install of Acrobat 9 Pro for Mac on a clean Mac OS X.8.3 Mountain Lion. It take the serial number without issue after launching, but in the Help Menu there is no, "Check for Updates..." item.
Installed and logged in as a local admin. The only alternative way to update the software is to go to the products update page at:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Macintosh
To download and manually install in succession TWENTY updates to get from v. 9.0 to v. 9.5.4. This shouldn't be this difficult. I bet the Adobe Chat Customer Service that I'd be able to download and install all TWENTY updates before anyone on this forum could provide me with a solution.
Do you accept the challenge?If you can not download the updates from the help menu any more, then for the MAC the updates are available at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Macintosh. Generally you have to install these updates in order. It is simplest to download the latest first and work back to see if any can be skipped. Once the product hits end of life (and I think AA9 is there), the only updates that are provided are for critical security updates. For instance there has not been an update for AA 8 since Sept 2011. Since the releases are about every 2 years, it is indeed the end-of-life time in the cycle for AA 9 based on the history of the products. The upgrade may be worth it at some time, particularly as your OS or word processor or such change over time. Since the MAC version does not have PDF Maker (as I understand it), the upgrades may not be as critical for you as for PC folks working with newer versions of MS OFFICE -- who have gotten used to those features.

When I try to update my software, I'm receiving the error message "Failed to check for updates. The operation couldn't be completed. Operation not permitted."
I'm using Safari 4.0.3. Yes, I know this is an old version of Safari - I can't update it, or any other software on my MacBook. Should I just wait for the Lion OS, or is there any kind of fix a non-technical Mac user like me can attempt without screwing up her laptop?
I've tried clearing my cache and resetting Safari already - doesn't help. I've also tried to update after disabling my (Norton) antivirus software, thinking that might be interfering. None of these help.
I don't know if it's a related problem, but also I can't download .pdf files from the internet, although I used to be able to.You should use the NortonAV uninstaller to uninstall it. Disabling the dreadful thing in the past hasn't always been sufficient for it to cease creating system havoc. The Mac NortonAV version has a long and well-earned reputation for doing truly seriously nasty things to OS X. Shame on Comcast for inflicting NortonAV on its Mac customers. It's not a matter of if NortonAV will mess up OS X but when and how badly. I can't help but wondering if some setting in your Norton AV has decided that NortonAV, rather than you, will be making executive decisions about what you are allowed to install on your computer and is keeping that fact a secret.
After you are done uninstalling Norton use the finder to search for any Norton files that the uninstaller might have missed. Add the option to search for invisible files.
After you have removed all the Norton bits and pieces restart in safe mode by holding down the shift key right after the startup chime. Keep holding down the shift key until you see the Apple logo and spinning gear. Safe mode does some maintenance tasks which means a much longer than normal startup time. Use Disk Utility to repair permission
If your Mac works normally in safe mode restart. If things still aren't fixed you might want to give another shot at reinstalling Snow Leopard from the install DVD and applying the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo before taking your Mac to the Apple Store.
If you feel the need to run AV software on your Mac use ClamXav in manual mode. It's donationware and doesn't seem to cause the litany of weird problems that are associated with other AV software. -

My CS6 Production suite for Windows 8 does not update from the help menu? The appilcation Manager says: "The update server is not respondiing, the server might be offline temporarily..." I have registered correctly. I have turned off my AVG virus protection and tried to update my software, still the Application Manager gives the same response. When I login, I can see that my serial numbers are there, so it must have registered correctly.
Help!If you don't want to download the updates manually, then you need to update your Application Manager. The relevant links are here:

When i try to open week cal it loads and then closes after a few seconds...I have checked for updates, turned the phone off then on, closed out of the app and then opened it again...nothing works! I have thought about deleting the app from my phone and then reloading it again but I worry that it will delete all my calendar info??? Any suggestions?
To reset, press and hold the Home and power buttons until the silver apple appears.
I would delete the app, reset the phone and then download the app again. Your calendar information should be stored on the phone as Week Cal uses the Calendar app information.
Best of luck. -
The problem..
Software Update message "Failed to check for updates. The operation couldn’t be completed. Operation not permitted"
MacBookPro 10.74 Lion Computer is online, as you can see by this message.
Anyone know what is going on?Most likely needs to be run under an admin account. What's yours?

I did an updated yesterday to the new IOS 7.0.4 on my 4s. Now my facebook app is really small when I open it. I tried to re install it a few times I also checked for updates to the app. Can't figure it out.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss) -
Basically, i've tried a number of fixes and so far none have actually solved the problem.
I am running Windows 7 Premium. 6GB RAM. 64-bit Operating System. Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30 GHz.

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.
Thanks in advancedYou can hide that button with code in userChrome.css below the @namespace line.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files.
* ChromEdit Plus: http://webdesigns.ms11.net/chromeditp.html
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#aboutDialog #updateBox { display:none!important; }</nowiki></pre>
You can also choose to lock the related update pref(s) to false if you want to make sure.

Windows update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running
Running Windows 7 on a Dell N5110.
I get the above message for Windows Updates. Below that it states: Find out more about free software from (null).
I have restarted the computer.
I have run McAffe and MalwareBytes Pro- nothing wrong.
This answer didn't work because the Software Distribution folder was
already empty:
go to services and stop Windows update service
locate C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\ folder and delete all its content
start Windows update service
check for update
Under Services:
BITS is set at Automatic(Delayed Start)
Windows Update is also set at Automatic (Delayed Start). It is stopped. If I try to start it, I get the following message: Windows could not start the Windows Update service on local computer. Error 1079: The account specified is different from the account
specified for other services running in the same processes.
In addition, the Windows Update shows nothing under view update history and nothing under hidden updates. Change settings allows me to do absolutely nothing. Red Shield with an x and the options are shaded.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Hi,
How's everything now?
If issue persists, please try this link
Services fail to start and you receive an Error 1079 on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows 2008 R2 or Windows 7
