Firefox CONSTANTLY has a yellow bar on top of my screen nagging me to upgrade adobe flash but my processor is way too slow for that upgrade.

I am on an older computer that works just fine, but the processor is too slow for the flash upgrade, nor do I have the other system requirements. What can I do to get rid of this nagging bar? I do not mind upgrading to a lower version of flash, providing it is light on memory;but don't know how to or where to get it. I have seen some archives of older versions but they require knowledge of how to do zip files, or how to do the download as it isn't automatic. I currently have something called "shockwave flash 9.0.45.0". The names are another confusing thing. They talk about shockwave flash, adobe flash player, adobe flash; are they all the same thing?

cor-el, thanks for your input. The problem I keep having is that I can't get the system requirements for any of the flash versions except 11, the latest. I have looked on a number of sites as well as adobe. There is no point to download something that won't work with my system, and overloads my memory. My processor is a pentium 3, about 927 mhz. The service pack is 2.
Another problem I keep having is that for the older versions they keep telling me to "unzip" the file. I don't know what that means, or of course, how to do it.
Really need some help and understandable directions as am new to computers. This one works great, and I resent these companies putting me in the position of having to buy a new computer just so I can get their newest programs, which in reality are often not as good as the old ones. I cannot afford another computer.

    Do not follow links from error messages; go direct to Adobe's site and download the latest version from there.
    10.3.181.26 is the latest version - added this week.

    When I turned on my computer this morning it had a new noise coming from the top of the screen at the back. 
    Not loud but almost whirring. 
    What might this be ?

    21.5 Mid 2010
    Processor  3.2 GHz Intel Core i3
    Memory  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Software  OS X 10.8.5 (12F37)
    I just found an answer ! 
    I had moved my computer into another room and had to turn up the brightness, as I have always had it on the lowest setting.  In doing so it created the noise, I turned it right down and it stopped.  I have now set it about level 3 so it's not so distracting.
    thanks

  • Yellow Bar at top?

    Hi ,
    Like others, I have no "yellow bar at the top", which is needed for the first step in upgrading AR. I run Firefox on Windows Vista 64 bit. I have tried some of the solutions already posted but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?
    Thanx,

  • Yellow Bar at top of track, and problems...

    I am trying to edit a file in garage band. I clicked on an icon, a circle with an arrow in it, and now there are two problems I have not been able to figure out:
    -the track only plays a section with a yellow bar above it, in a loop.
    -the track no longer displays the white arrow at the top with the vertical line, within the window it is playing in. It disappears and I have no way to know where on the track it is.
    -the track display above and the editing display below, are no longer synchronized. The red vertical line disappears and the bottom editing display just sits there. Now I have no way to edit the track, to know where the red line is and find the sections I want to edit.
    Any advice?

  • The progress/time bar at top of the screen has disappeared

    On my Ipod Touch -- when playing a song -- the bar at the top of the screen (that shows how much total time there is for the song and where the player is within the song) has disappeared.  It was there yesterday, and now it's just gone.  BTW, the volume control is still there.  And otherwise, the player seems to be working fine.  Somewhere, I read that this situation might be resolved by re-syncing it.  I tried that and it didn't work.  Any idea as to what may have happened... and how can I fix it?

    In the music app play a song and when the song starts to play in the screen where the progress bar was tap in the middle of the screen and it should be back. I had this problem too but then i figured it out. And trust me if u do that it will be back. If that doesnt work tell me.

  • Flashing red bar on top of iphone screen

    Hi there. I was reading already a bit about the red status bar here in the forum but some of my questions remain unanswered.
    I understand so far - please correct me if I'm wrong - that the red status on the top of the screen is popping up sometimes for some seconds to remind me that there are background applications running.
    My questions:
    - I know that there are background applications running (for example 8mm camera app or hipstamatic camera app), but can I turn that notification off? I want those apps running in the background because I use them very often. Or do they suck energy when they're running in the background? I mean: they are basically just open, doing nothing.
    - every time the red notification bar pops up my itunes stops. it's annoying. how can i turn these notifications off and prevent itunes from stopping playing music?
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks for the response. But now:
    - why for **'s sake is apple keeping all the applications running in the background anyway. why is there no function in the settings to close certain apps automatically after using them? i really don't want to take a photo or film and swap to another application and then manually have to close the application. that's like 6 wasted seconds of my life by doing unnecessary work and if i multiply that with the amount of photos/films i take (~30 per day) then i'm wasting about 18.5 hours per year just on closing the application after I've done a photo. so i want to keep that app running in the back so it's open all the time.
    - anyhow: i've closed the app (8mm app) and even restarted the iphone. the red bar with "8mm" still pops up. huh!?

  • I have installed Adobe Flash but firefox does not show as plugin

    I have downloaded the most recent versions of Firefox (30.0) and Adobe Flash Player. The Adobe website tells me my flash player is installed and current but Firefox does not show it as a plug in and a site that requires flash player (google finance) to view charts does not work. The place for the chart remains blank after telling me it has loaded.
    Any thoughts?

    When a page is using a plugin, usually an icon similar to a piece of Lego appears in the address bar. You can click the logo to check that Flash is allowed to run on the page, or approve it to run if it isn't.
    I randomly picked a stock and enlarged the chart and got the following URL. Any luck with this one: http://www.google.com/finance?chdnp=1&chdd=1&chds=1&chdv=1&chvs=maximized&chdeh=0&chfdeh=0&chdet=1405540800000&chddm=1173&chls=IntervalBasedLine&q=NASDAQ%3AAAPL&ntsp=0&fct=big&ei=YJzGU_iiEZSziALE4oCYCg

  • Mabook pro 13 in. OSX Runs way too slow. Constantly Buffers Too much. Several questions in summary.

    I have a Macbook Pro 13 in. Running OSX 10.9.4
    Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    I have always sworn by my Mac. It's the best. However in the last 5 months or so everything I do on my Mac take so much time because it runs so slow. My Mac buffers upon every command. It buffers when I move the mouse, every time i click the mouse, when i open app, close app, when I right click on apps, and it buffers at least one time every sentence when typing on word. I have repaired petitions or utilities in the disk utility. Seemed to help a bit but if it even did it was short lived. I haven't noticed it so bad until I installed Mackeeper and ran a few clean ups.(could/could not be relevant). I want to know also how to clean the mail caches from the Mail app and also Microsoft outlook. I read cleaning them out could help performance but I don't want to accidentally erase all of my mail. I do use the mail app heavily. Or rather I use to before my mac ran slow. Please help me to get my mac up and running fast and smooth like it did before. Mac use to get a little hot when not doing it's best before. in the bavk on the bottom, under the screen. However it doesn't run hot anymore, or lately anyway. Last few days has ran pretty good but today its back to it's worst. Thanks a million and any and all help is welcome. Thanks again.

    Remove "MacKeeper" as follows. First, back up all data.
    "MacKeeper" is a scam with only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
    Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
    If you have incompletely removed MacKeeper—for example, by dragging the application to the Trash and emptying—then you'll have to reinstall it and start over.
    IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Applications
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. Restart the computer.
    ☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
    ☞ Don't empty the Trash. Let MacKeeper delete itself.
    ☞ Don't try to drag the MacKeeper Dock icon to the Trash.
    If you still have problems after taking the above steps, see below.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • IMac way too slow at home, but works perfectly at Genius bar - why?

    My iMac is slow when doing things like switching users, waking up from screen saver and switching and/or opening applications. Sometimes the spinning wheel of love will spin for 30 seconds (seems like an hour). I've got a memory monitor and I can see that the memory is getting used up and not released but I don't think that is the problem.
    Here's the kicker... when I take it to the genius bar they can never replicate the problem. It runs fine no matter what they do. So, I have to believe it is something going on with home network and/or printer.
    My network has the iMac with kodak USB printer, macbook with epson USB printer, AppleTV. The problem is the same when I have everything wireless or using ethernet over AC power outlets. I also have a time machine and airport express which I no longer have hooked up.
    Anybody have any clue what could be going on to cause all these problems? BTW, no issues with the macbook or appleTV (or iPhones or iPad for that matter).

    I've got a memory monitor and I can see that the memory is getting used up and not released but I don't think that is the problem.
    That should really slow it down, but no idea why there & not at the Genious bar, but possibly Networking, or what all you have connected at home.
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?
