When the Mac was setup you had to create an administrative password.and account. Yo have to sign into that account to install apps/plug-ins like Flash. To reset that password.

I have been getting a popup dialog box asking me to update flash player, but I don't know if I should trust it, as the exe file name is "tmp4E11.exe".

Hi Team,
I am only sending you an email as I am unable to find the answer to this question anywhere on your web site.
Just started within the past half an hour, I have been getting an update Flash Player dialog box popping up on my desktop, saying to update now or later or not at all, but I don't recognize it as the standard type of update dialog box that is sent by Adobe. The file name that is being used to click on for the update is "tmp4E11.exe:, is this a genuine Adobe update. I just can't stop this dialog box from popping up every ten seconds. HELP please.
Thanks.

Hi,
if it's popping up every 10 seconds or so it's not official Flash Player update as ours does not display that often. Can you post a screenshot of it, How to post a screenshot in the forum.

Hi, my mac has stopped playing some avi files (that used to work). I can see the video. Does anyone know why and what i can do? My version of quicktime is 7.6.9.

Hi i have avi files saved in iphoto that i used to be able to play through quicktime. However in the last few weeks i cannot play many of these files. I can see the videos and click on them but nothing happens (i have version 7.6.9 of quicktime). Does anyone know why this has happened and what i can do about this?
Thanks.

What do you mean by what audio/video formats are involved? These are all files from several digital cameras.
As previously stated, AVI is a file container. It is somewhat old and its originator, Microsoft, dropped official support of it over a decade ago. However, it remains popular with PC users since almost any valid audio and/or video compression format can be stuffed to the file which synchronizes the content by interleaving the individual audio and video frames. The compression format is the specific manner in which the audio and video data are encoded as it is placed in the AVI container. You can find the compression format by inspecting the file in the Finder "Info" window, or in the "Inspector" window of the QT player (or other media player) if the file can be opened.
For instance, one popular compression combination would be to place DivX encoded video and MP3 audio in an AVI file container. However, neither DivX nor MP3 is natively supported by the QT player. (Although iTunes will natively support the MP3 audio.) Therefore, people who wish to play such files in the QT 7 Player would normally install either the DivX component or Perian but not both. Either installation will independently play such files in the QT Player, but if both are installed, the file will usually stop working since these two codecs can create a playback conflict.
However, the AVI container could just as easily contain DV along with DV audio. In this case, the file should play correctly in QT since this compression format is natively supported by the basic component configuration that comes in every current OS installation. Therefore, if such files suddenly stopped playing, this could be an indication that a component has been moved or deleted or that your system or QT embedded structure has become corrupted.

Unable to install Adobe Flash Player 11 or any other version. "download timeout" shows and download interrupts within 7%....why is this problem occuring?

As a note, running with no anti-virus software is a very bad choice. I would try installing Microsoft security Essentials, [http://microsoft.com/security_essentials http://microsoft.com/security_essentials] to stay safe with a free but light weight anti-virus.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Apple blocked Flash yesterday because of a serious security problem that is being used to hack PCs and Macs with Flash.
Adobe has released a Flash update that makes Flash work again on Macs. You can download it on Adobe website > http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer I recommend you to restart the Mac after installing this update

You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT adminstrator or Adobe customer support for help
I already Uninstalled and reinstalled the product and it still does not work.

Hi,
Try to uninstall the software again and you have to manually
Delete the following folders:
[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD
[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/backup
[Startup Disk]/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/
Go to Applications-->Utilities-->Disk Utility, Open it and Select the MAC HD and then click on Repair permissions.
After that try to run the cleaner tool as mentioned by kglad.
Restart machine and then try to install again.
*** Make sure , you only delete these folders if there is no other adobe applications installed on the machine. As if you have any other Adobe application of the suite ( not free applications ) then it will be a problem.

Trouble playing You Tube video on iPad 2 - stops/starts - can't get through a single video. HELP.

I have the iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G but it's not currently on my Verizon plan - only connects via home wireless internet. I'm confused as to why I've never been able to successfully play/view any kind of video via the internet? The video loads and begins to play...but about 10 seconds in...it hangs up and then I have to play a cat and mouse game of pause/play to get it to 'load' a little bit more...and finally about 60 seconds worth I throw in the towel and head for the iPhone or my Mac. So what gives? My iPad does so much...even plays videos I TAKE. Why won't it play You Tube videos???!!! Is that Icon on my Home Screen just to taunt me and store the videos I'll never be able to view more than 10 seconds???
Please help guide me to the simple fix.

Try viewing youtube from the browser and going to youtube.com rather than using the YouTube app.
Also, try at different times of day and report back. Where I am, by 7pm the cable modem slows down considerably with all the Netflix viewing. I swear Comcast is throttling bandwidth for video streaming!
