I was doing a software update today and a box popped up which looked like it was from Apple saying I needed to update my Adobe Flash. I downloaded it. Afterwards, I started worrying about it and checked on the web and found out there is a virus going around posing as Adobe Flash. I am running Snow Leopard. How do I check to see if I have it and if so, what do I do?
When i try to download a screensaver the computer tells me i need to choose an application to run the screensaver. Can anyone explain to me what i'm doing wrong. And i also need help downloading Adobe. It wont allow me to install the program.
I am poised to make the change from PC to Mac. However, I have a decision to make. I am currently running a 3ghz QUAD core, 8gb RAM with Windows Vista. The system runs well (yes, even though it is Windows) but I wish to move to Mac and ditch the Windows world. I plan to use Logic Pro so need a Mac. I have 2 x 24" monitors that set me back 700�. I was thinking to keep those and perhaps buy a Mini Mac. The mini Mac can support 2x displays.
My big question is this: If I went for the 2.66Ghz Intel Duo Core Mini Mac with 8gb RAM, would this tun Logic Pro without any problems? Would it also run software like Adobe Photoshop / Illustrator / Premiere without hanging or being very slow? Who has a mini Mac and currently has these softwares installed? Please advise? Should I simply sell everything and go for an iMac?
where does adobe flash player install? I know it is a plugin, but I do not always want to open a browser to view flash material, I want to link up a flash document on a teaching CD so that it will start when I click on the link.
i had flash player 9 on my mac os x 10.2.8 then for some reason its gone and i cant play videos.i tried reinstalling it but im only getting the file not the pkg.
I purchased my imac in late June 2011 and updated software to Lion in July. Everything worked fine until December 2011 and the flash player disappeared. I have tried to install the adobe flash player they recommend for Lion and it will not install. I then read a post from Klaus 1 who gave the links and said to install adobe shockwave which I did and it worked for about 1 hour then it disappeared.
Adobe Flash installer completes successfully, but web sites requiring Flash still say that I need to install Flash. None of the relevant files are present, and the Adobe diagnostic page shows only empty boxes where the Flash version should be listed. This problem occurs with Safari 5.1.4 and 5.1.5 running on Mac OS 10.6.8?
I recently recieved the Flash Player Ugrade notice on my MacBook Pro rinning Lion and I accepted it and began the upgrade. Right in the middle of the upgrade, my nac crashed and I had to power down reboot. From that point on, the upgrade will not install and only gives a "installed failed". I went to the Adobe site and used the uninstall tool for flash, still gives error on install of any version of flash.
I cannot get adobe Flash player to install on My MBP running Snow Leopard. It Starts to install but hesitates at from 80% to 95% then finishes but does not work.
When i install Adobe Flash player , Asked me to close Safari so I'm did it but keep on asking me to close the program Safari so I'm try to restart power when i started OS I'm try to install the flash player first but it not working
A few weeks ago, I uninstalled Adobe flash player because I thought it was causing some problems. I'm trying to install it again, but as soon as it starts the installation process, it gets pauses at "Retrieving Install" and hangs at zero. After five minutes or so, it says "Error has been encountered. Close this window and try downloading again.
I wonder if this sounds familiar to you : I'm trying to install adobe flash player 11 on my iMac ( 10.7.3 ) but without success. Downloading is ok but installing is a problem, after starting the installing process it results not in the application but in the installing manager.
as I press "INSTALL" button (flash-player 11.2) nothing happens. I know that my computer does not match requirements of 11.2 version, but please let me know if there is a suitable solution for my case.
I am trying to install Adobe Flash on Mac desktop. Error message "close Safari" appears and won't go away when 97% complete? won't install any further than that
Messed up big time: Ran Clean Sweep and it found THOUSANDS of EMPTY folders so I deleted them for a gain of amost 14K (whoopie). NOW NONE of the ADOBE software will OPEN. PhotoShop, After Effects, Dreamweaver (yes, I know they are old but they worked just fine till I deleted empty folders) Oh and a writing program called POWER STRUCTURE which was never an Adobe product (as far as I knew) also stopped working.
I get the "Can not open" report window on the above mentioned items. The Apple programs work fine: FCP, Motion, Sound Track, DVD Pro, iTunes all work. Screenwriter still works but the Adobe stuff-Nothing.
I use TIME MACHINE on a more than weekly basices. I went back to the end of March (before I ran CLEAN SWEEP) and tried to RESTORE. Got a little wondow that tells me:“Applications” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X. So I can't RESTORE from the Time Machine.
I ran Disk Utility and Repaired Premmissions Rebooted, draged the Adobe folders to the trash and tried to reinstall from disk. I get the same "failed to open report window" when I try to run INSTALL. IN THE TRASH I tried to click on the deleted empty folders one at a time and the PUT BACK menu item is ghosted so I don't know what to put where. So what can I do besides reinstalling MAC OS? I'm running 10.6.8.
Info: MacBookPro6.2, Mac OS X (10.6.3), 2.66GHz, Core i7, 4 GB
I bought a 5 yr old Mac G5 OSx 10.4.11, 2 GHz intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB 667 MHz DDR1 SDRAM memory. It works fine but I can't get Thunderbird, Flash Player or Adobe reader to install -- it shows up on desktop as download but not App folder.
When the program is installing it stops at 97% and says error, "please close the following programs: safari" so i close them and the same thing happens. even though i have closed safari this error still occurs and i can't finish my installation.
