I successfully installed Adobe flash player. Latest version. How do I set this as my default player application?
The websites I use just keep saying to install the flash player.
Info:
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
have in the past few weeks uprgraded from tiger to leopard.Everything has been ok but i think i might have deleted some vital part of Quicktime player when i tried to clean up.I only realised this when i decided to get Quicktime player pro which i have paid for and have the key..I have tried to download quicktime from apple support website and just about any other website for that matter but zero.zilch.Installer takes me through the process but i get no player.
I have tried to remove all components of quicktime but to no avail.the download intalls but goes nowhere.Have tried to maybe 'jumpstart' it by double clicking quicktime time movies but there is just nothing going on.

Digital movies play just fine on my camera, a NIkon Coolpix but once I import them to either quicktime or windows media player they do not play smoothly. Any ideas why or what I can do to correct this?
Info:
quicktime or windows media player , Windows XP, camera digital films won't play
Is there a way to make another player as a default instead of Quick Time Player? It seems like the player doesn't support international dramas.

Also I have the OS X disc but I don't want to reinstall my OS and wipe all my data.

Does anyone have the 13" Speck hardshell case for their MacBook Pro? If so, how do you keep it clean? My case is pretty dirty, but I don't know the best way to clean it!

Do I need to take the bottom of the computer off to clean that? Does that void the warranty?
I don't even know if it is necessary though. Here are my temps. I don't know what they are supposed to be:
I've to clean my mbp (really really have to ), underneath is quite dirty due to dust of the tables and also full of fingerprints, aswell on the top and near to the keyboard and trackpad ( for a long time it was my only machine, so i used it a lot ).

I just checked the space and it looks like that the install took around 9GB of space? Is that correct? Bear with me where as this is my first Mac...
I've been advised to clean my MBP fan's out with compressed air, since I've owned it for 6 months now. So my question is, where would I actually spray the compressed air without opening the chassis? I'm scared to use it on the keyboard because I've heard keys popping off that way, and wondering if I spray into the vent below the screen, I would just blow the dust deeper into the computer...
View 24 Replies View RelatedMy Macbook screen is getting a bit dusty, and when outside I can see there are a few smears on it too, so I'm looking to give it a good clean so that it returns to its former glory.
What's the best way of doing this? I don't particularly want to use water, but a piece of toilet roll run across the screen gently doesn't really give it the clean that it needs!
I made the mistake of using Kensington spray on this glossy screen, and no matter what I do, I can't seem to get the smudges off now... What do YOU guys do? (assuming you clean your screeens..
View 17 Replies View RelatedI just got my new MacBook Pro today. One problem I had with my old black MacBook is that the keys got really dirty. dust fell between the cracks, but, more annoying, from typing, the finish wore off and got shiny/greasy. Is there anything I can do to mitigate this problem, particularly the problem of ruining the nice finish on the keys with skin oil?

But when reinstalling, the screen froze on 'verifying destination volume', then packs up and suggests I start again.
Searching this forum I see that others have had this problem and that one solution is to perform a 'clean install'. My question is, how do I go about doing that?
I have the Unibody 15" MacBook Pro, I've had it pretty much since it was first released and throughout that time it has gotten extremely dirty. The monitor has a few splotches of stuff and a lot of dust on the surface, the keyboard is just looks really dirty and underneath my keyboard is just full of crap. What products do you recommend to clean the MacBook Pro and any types of "skins/guards" i could use to cover the keyboard and the area around it?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI currently have a 15"UMBP, since the keyboard is black. I can some kind of wear on the keyboard, it seems shiner on the letters of it. Not as much of a matte like finish on them almost as if it's grease but I don't think it is.
Does anyone clean there keys? If so what are you using and can you still clean them while they're on the computer?
I'm looking into what is good to keep my MBP screen clean from residue such as saliva (from the dreaded coughs) and dirt.
What do you guys use to keep your screen free from residue? Do you guys use any solutions?
Would using a lint-free cloth (such as the ones made for wiping spectacles with) work?

I already use the app "clean my mac".
I have recently switched from PC to MAC (actually waiting for my Mac to arrive any day now!).
I have one question though...is it necessary to reformat a Mac HD like I would on my PC?
I find that I have to do a fresh install of Windows about every 6 months as my PC gets bogged down with stuff.
Is this the same on a Mac or does a Mac stay "cleaner" as you use it (if that makes sense..)?
So after doing some research online I see that Aluminum is very resistant to rusting to the fact that it usually rust after your computer die or something...
But anyway what I wanted to know if that if I use water to clean the lid would it accelerate the rusting or corrosion?
I've had it for about a month and have noticed my trackpad is having some serious discoloration (from finger oils I'm assuming). I know the #1 rule is to search and I didn't find any cleaning tips for the trackpad. Just wanted to get some long time users input.
