Flash on Leopard, Macbook Pro

Hi!
I've had a significant problem with Safari lately.
Leopard running 10.5.5, latest Flash Player, Macbook Pro 2.33 ghz, 17".
On several flash sites, epecially those that require a lot processing power like fullscreen pages, after 5 minutes Safari literately DIES. Beleive me. It hangs so awfully, that my Dock reacts with 1 frame per 10 seconds, my fans go berserk, and need to wait several minutes until i am able to Force Quit my Safari.
The same pages run smoothly and nicely under Opera. No hangs, nice framerate with demanding video-driven flash sites.
Safari just seems to choke with flash. What to do?
I recently AppZapped Safari, and reinstalled it from OSX DVD, updated , done Disk Permissions, but no success at all.
Help?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: May be useful - I use and backup regularly my Mac via Time Capsule 1 TB.

Yes, I have the exact same issue. Simple videos of sites like youtube are ok, other flash stuff like navigation or banners function properly, but as soon as I views something a bit more demanding, Safari starts acting like a dying turtle... Force quitting is the only option. With the same flash version, firefox has no troubles at all...
I also use Version 3.1.2 (5525.20.1), with the lates flash player (Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.12.36). I cleaned out all my unused plugins, done Permissions as well, but nothing seems to help.
Please let someone have a solution...

Download the player from the link that Allan provided.
Doubleclick the downloaded file to mount the .dmg file.
When a window opens with the 'Install Adobe Flash Player', doubleclick that file to start the install.

Flash Player on MacBook Pro

Hello: I tried to install Flash 8 Player on MacBook Pro and it did not work. Then, I realized because maybe it's not Universal, it won't work. Does anyone know if you can install the Flash Player on MacBook Pro? Thanks in advance for your advice.

The special version of the Flash plug-in supplied with Intel-Macs can be restored by extracting a fresh copy from the installer disc. You will need to download Pacifist (www.versiontracker.com) and use it to extract a fresh copy of the Flash plug-in from the file archive on the installer DVD.
Please read the following about other possible incompatibilities:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
Be sure to verify with developer or from information on download sites whether software is a universal binary. Many of the incompatible products currently in use will likely be updated in time.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers. These versions are not universal binaries and will not work on Intel-Macs. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the only current choice is USB Overdrive. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (does not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Find the Mac OS forum for your version / then find the notebook forums.

Firefox 18 on OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard Macbook Pro May Cause NVIDIA Problems

I upgraded my Macbook Pro to Firefox 18 on OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on Friday afternoon. My computer froze while I was using Firefox on Saturday. It froze while I was switching windows within Firefox on Sunday. It froze when I was scrolling a Firefox window this morning. I've checked the kernel log, and each time the computer froze I got "NVDA(OpenGL): Channel exception! exception type = 0xd = GR: SW Notify Error" and some related NVIDIA messages.
The rest of my computer still works. I was able to ssh into it and have it play sounds. It's just the screen that was having trouble. That's what you would expect if your video card is freaking out.
I don't know for sure that Firefox is causing this, but it's rather suspicious. It's the only thing I've changed on my system in the last few days.
If you want to check your kernel log, open the Applications folder, open the Utilities folder, and then open Console. Click on All Messages under DATABASE SEARCHES and search for NVDA.

Unfortunately, the program they recommend doesn't work on Snow Leopard, the version of Flash that seems to be an issue is a really old one, I've already installed the patch from Apple, and I've had my motherboard and graphics card replaced once already. Thanks for digging, though!

Flashing folder on Macbook pro

On startup my Macbook pro shows a flashing folder with a question mark so appears to have lost the boot partition. When I do command and R I do not get the recovery options, I just get a globe with a warning sign and apple.com/support under it. Command and D works, diagnostics run and I get no issues found result. Any idea what is going on anyone?

Di you try restarting and booting whilst holding down the command and R keys? Or even the command, option and R keys (assuming that you've a 2011 model)?
Some 2011 models came with discs as they shipped with Snow Leopard. Those that shipped with Lion had no discs. If your machine originally shipped with Snow Leopard, you can call Apple, with the serial number of your MBP handy, and order a set of model-specific discs (cost is, I believe, around $25 with taxes and shipping).
Please 'call back' and let us know if you've tried booting either to your Recovery partition or to Internet Recovery.

File Sharing between Snow Leopard MacBook Pro and Mac OS 8.6 Powerbook 1400

well ok, for some this might sound ridicule. Why should I still be using a 13 year old PowerBook. Let me tell you, this is writing/typing heaven, Zen-like; no distractions at all, no twitter, no internet (although possible), no emails just pure you and your text and if you spin down the HDD, absolute silence. as said before pure Zen writing heaven. and on top of that you're typing on the best keyboard ever on a laptop.
As you might see I love my vintage masterpiece of a laptop and use it on a regular basis. Just one Problem.
Since I Installed Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro 17" I just haven't been able to establish a connection between the two machines.
I have to admit, I'm not that versed with OS 8.6 but with 10.5 I had absolutely no problems accessing the shared folders on my MacBook Pro and vice versa.
My first thought was to activate Appletalk on the ethernet on my Macbook, which I failed to find anywhere. The Apple Discussions Forums revealed that Appletalk has been dropped with the introduction of Snow Leopard but all the entries where regarding printing issues with shared printers, I didn't find anything about actual file sharing and thus did not get any clues how to share files between my two machines.
My PowerBook 1400cs/166 runs on 8.6 and I use a Global Village Platinum PCMCIA card (modem and Ethernet combi card). this setup worked perfectly with 10.5 but I have not been able to make establish a connection since running 10.6 on my MBP.
I am really desperate since I heavily depend on being able to exchange files between those two machines through an ethernet connection.
So I kindly ask anyone who might be able to help me to please consider posting any solutions or at least ideas which could help me with my problem. I really would greatly appreciate any effort whatsoever.
Thank you very much for your time.
EDIT:
What I forgot to mention: strangely enough, when I enable Internet Sharing on my MacBook Pro (through Airport) to Ethernet, my PowerBook 1400 can connect to the internet without any problems.

First of all let me thank you very much. It actually works (partially).
There seems to be a problem though. While I can connect perfectly from my MBP 10.6 to my PowerBook 1400, the other way round doesn't work.
My MBP does not show up in the Network browser of OS 8.6 but I could life with that.
The problem is that if I try to connect to my MBP from my PB1400 by entering the IP directly a alert message appears reading that the "User Authentication Method required by this server can't be found, please check the AppleShare folder in the Extensions folder and try again".
Do you have any clues what I'm doing wrong or where the problem may lie?
PS.
Even if you may not be able to further help me with this problem, I ow you a great deal of gratitude and am very thankful for your help so far. At least I can exchange files between the two machines and that's what I needed in the first place.

What do I need to be able to upgrade my leopard macbook pro to the newest system software?

I have been running Leopard because I have been able to use my old Appleworks program to run my collection of old files. I just bought an oPhone 5 and I realize that I have to make the jump over to the latest system software. What steps do I need to take to get my Macbook Pro over to the latest Mountain Lion? Can I save my important files to an external drive and then just wipe the macbook drive clean and start anew?

A service like efax is the easiest way. You get a phone number assigned so that you can receive, and to send you email and they send it out as a fax.

Should i install adobe flash player on macbook pro with OSX

Just purchased my first macbook pro, I am thinking of installing Adobe Flash Player but wasnt sure if this is good idea or not. Any suggestions?

Sure - most of the content on YouTube - and much of the video content on the web - uses Flash technology.
Just make certain that you get it straight from Adobe -> http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/.
Happy computing!

Flash SDK and MacBook Pro with Retina display major issues

Hello,
Apple has recently released Macbook Pro's with Retina displays.
I have tested my Flash application on the new laptop, and this is what I observe:
My Flex SDK Flash application looks blurry and strange when I try to check it out from any Macbook Pro with Retina display, while looking sharp and OK from all other machines.
On this screenshot you can sort of see the issue:
http://i.imgur.com/UXHd4.png
(Expand the image to the actual size, and compare the Flex SDK components with browser labels. Browser labels look crisp, Flex SDK components look a little bit blurry.)
Please fix this issue.
Andrey

Sure. LR 4.3 even specifically adds Retina support...

How to download adobe flash player onto MacBook pro

Hi, can anyone tell me how to download adobe flash player onto my new MacBook Pro with retina display please?
I don't know what operating system it has?

If you've a new Retina display MacBook Pro, it probably shipped with Mavericks - you can confirm this by going to the Apple on the menu bar and selecting "About This Mac...." if it says system 10.9 or 10.9.1, you're on Mavericks.
To install Flash Player, you must first download it from Adobe -> http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/. After the download is complete, you should have a file with a .dmg extension in your Downloads folder. Double-click this file and it will 'mount' as if it is a disk. There will be a 'package' inside and you must double-click this to actually install Flash Player.
Once Flash Player is installed, restart your computer and then open your browser. You should now be able to view Flash content.
Good luck,
Clinton

Cannot download Flash CC on MacBook Pro Retina running Mavericks

I have a subscription to Creative Cloud; even though Photoshop CC can be downloaded and installed, Flash CC cannot.
It is not listed in creative cloud panel running on my machine, only Flash CS6 is available.
- I tried to login to Creative Cloud website using chrome and click on the download link for Flash CC, but it did not work.
- I had tried to uninstall Creative Cloud and run the Cloud Cleaner tool, but it did not help.
I'm running Maverick on a MacBook Pro with Retina display (intel Core i7). I have plenty of space on my disk, and as far as i can tell, the machine meets all Flash CC requirements.
This is also the same with illustrator.
Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you for your quick reply.
I did
uninstall all creative cloud apps,
uninstall creative cloud,
run cleaner tool
and then reinstall creative cloud.
When I open creative cloud panel, only Flash CS6 is on the list.
I have been doing this process for 5 times now, including today attempt.
I tried to go in adobe website and install it via the link
https://creative.adobe.com/products/flash
The link open Creative Cloud Panel and do nothing.
I have the same issue with illustrator CC.
It is strange that I do not have the same issue with Photoshop CC.
Any further assistance would be much appreciated.
