MacBook Pro :: Running Slow / Unable To Uninstall Mackeeper Or Use Flash Player
Dec 1, 2014
My MacBook Pro 8.1 (Mac OS X 10.7). It started when i download Mackeeper, i was late when i read all messages thru apple communities that mainly cause of running slow is due to mackeeper. Now am having problems to uninstall it, cannot be remove anymore.
By accident, I have recently installed this software called MacKeeper. It has been hijacking my computer since this morning. I am new user of the Macbook Air. uninstall this from my computer!!
I am unable to play most videos that are posted on Youtube etc. Every place says I need to update the flash player..it down/uploads, but never gives me a choice to save it.
Info: MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
I recently installed the CS3 studio. Everything is working fine but Flash is taking way too long to get back to work if I switch between applications.
Assume I have a file open in flash, click back to the desktop and click back from there to flash, it takes about a minute (with the spinning wheel) for flash to "un-freeze" and lets me working on my file again. Basically every time I leave flash and come back to it, I have to wait for it to gather stuff and get back on track for about a minute. Who can work like that?
I have plenty of memory, latest OSx and not using unusually large files. Have an iMac.
I have been googeling this issue but couldn't find anything.
I do not have any of these problems with the other parts of CS3 (PS/AI/ID etc), only with flash!
PS: Is it possible it has to do with fonts (about 300 of them) that I had recently installed?
Safari recently started crashing when I tried to go onto Facebook and Yahoo.
I uninstalled the flash player and the problem has stopped but now I can't get the flash applications (Videos).
I have reinstalled flash player 10 and 9 and the page crashed every time after the reinstall. I have also tried with Safari, Firefox and Opera with the same outcome.
I would love some help to fix the problem and allow me to surf the web with all the flash applications.
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.
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
Yesterday, I upgraded to iWork09 and today I cannot get my MacBookPro to turn on. I have tried all the recommended reboot methods but nothing seems to work. I suspect the new software is the culprit because at the end of the load, there was a message to say the disc could not complete because of 'damage'. The software worked fine but I noticed the notebook was running significantly slower and now, I cannot even turn on.
I cannot install the newest Flash on my system. I have tried the following; Installing Flash - Everything appears to download and install but it doesn't..Uninstalling the current version - The application says the version is removed yet it is still on my system
A friend of mine is having trouble playing flash videos on his 1.33 GHz PowerBook G4 (256MB of RAM). He has version 7 of flash player and is unable to upgrade to a newer version.
I have upgraded from a OX 2.8 to 3.9. I now have to use two browsers to use the internet. Safari to have access to my yahoo mail account, and fire fox 2.020 to load information on my business website.
I have not been able to use shockwave flash or flash player on the up load. When I was using OSX 2.8 I could add pictures to my business website and etc., I had no problem viewing the slide show I had on my website, other than the system was a little slow. I have an ibook G3 128 +512 ram, total. 900 mhz, 12. inches and white case. The systems requirements indicate that I need to upgrade to tiger OSX 4.0
I know there are some issues using Fire Fox with OSX 3.9. When ever I tried to access my yahoo mail from Fire fox, the system would crash.
Other than getting a new laptop, any suggestions? I tried to down load Shock wave from the old apps web site called Camino. I get an error message that the plug in cannot be loaded sussfully I have tried load flash Player 7.09, but get a message that it can not load. Could this be because of not enough space on the drive. Maybe I am not loading it correctly. Shouldn't I be able to click it to install it in the right place without having to try the different files.
I have this MBP 13'' Mac OS X 10.7.5 running a 2.4GHz i5, 4GB RAMs and 500GB storage.The problem started yesterday when I was typing on Word and I copy pasted something from the net (chrome browser) then it froze.I waited for around 5minutes and still frozen with the spinning wheel, then I decided to turn it off by pressing power for 10 seconds restarted my
MBP then now it running so slow on start-up and apps are very slow to open like around 5 minutes. Every action that I try to do like clicking on the apple in the upper left it freezes showing a spinning wheel and it will take time to show the drop down options. I checked disk utility and it said that HD is ok, done verify/permission verify and repair.
I checked the activity monitor noting the ram/CPU usage and its normal it even tells that 2GB of ram is not use.It shows not responding in the activity monitor if you open an app for around 5mins then it opens or it will crash.I already done the 2 kinds of reset and did not work.BUT it opens normally in Safe mode.
So about a week ago I attempted to Dual Boot Ubuntu on my Boot camp partition. Due to a compatibility issue, even though I installed it easily, it was very slow, so I proceeded to erase all data on all the partitions the installation created, ending up with The OS X partition + 4 other ones. (there was an EFI part. too).
Now here's the problem. Right after I uninstalled Ubuntu, when I booted up my MBP, it took a VERY long time to The Logo to appear, almost seems like it was searching for something, ... . The same thing happens after I uninstall rEFIt, and after merging some of the partitions, ending up, right now, with 3 partitions. What a mess!
Boot time, unless I press the option key and select Macintosh HD, is about one minute 15 sec. because of the insanely long time to the logo to appear.
What the heck do I do? I would prefer not re-formatting my disk, I've gone through so much downloading and installed a whole bunch of things I need... And I don't have an external Drive.
I just got a MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.5 and I transferred all my information from my Air, OS 10.5...something. When I went to watch a video online, it said that FlashPlayer wasn't installed, so I installed the latest version on the adobe website, but it still says that there's a missing plug-in. Flash player was working fine on my air, and all my software is up to date.
i have a macbook pro. the problem recently has been the flash player.i have installed it several times, but whenever i click a link on a website it says you need to update your flash player and keeps taking me to adobe website.
Prosessor 2,53 GHz Intel Core i5 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50) This machine is not willing to install Flash player. Have tried to follow instructions on Adobe forums, tried to remove flash, tried to install flash, but no luck.I only get the message flash player will not install...
I edit using Lightroom and Photoshop and I'm having an issue while editing. After editing around 8-10 photos in Photoshop the computer starts running unbelievably slow. After each 8-10 photos I have to close down everything and reboot. Even the reboot process is super slow as I have to force quit each application usually 1-2 times to get it to close. Is this normal? I have a 2011 17" with 2.2 GHZ i7 with 8GB ram. Is there any setting that I can change or be aware of.
