1/2 thru the downloading process, I am prompted to close IE but it is already closed

Hello -
I received a prompt telling me that I didn't have Adobe Flash Player installed on my computer (it had to have been installed on my computer last night; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to play the computer games that I do).  While trying to download it, I received a prompt telling me to close IE - which I did.  When I selected the 'continue' icon, it kept telling me to close IE, then continue.  Couldn't get past this point.  And what happened to the Flash Player that was on my computer last night when I was playing computer games that require it to be installed in order to play the games?

Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one of the following links.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
"Save" the installer - DO NOT "Run" it. Repeat: DO NOT "Run" the installer.
RIght click your taskbar and select Task Manager or Start Task Manager, whichever your OS shows.
In the Task Manager, under the Processes tab, look for "iexplore.exe" - NOT "explorer.exe" as this is Windows Explorer, a different app altogether.
End ALL instances of this process, until there are none.
Run the offline installer from your downloads folder.

  • Frustrated beyond belief.   Trying to download the new Itunes 11 version so I can sync my phone.   It goes thru the whole process, says I was successful and then I get a message - "Apple Mobile Device Failed to start----retry, and retry, same message.

    On my desk computer, I tried to download the new Itunes 11 version.   I had Itunes 10.  It goes thru the whole process and then says "Apple Mobilve Devide failed to start, Verify you have sufficient privileges to start service.   I hit retry and then I get  Installation successful followed by error 126.   I can not enter Itunes at all now.   If I click on the former icon it says  MSVCR80.dll for error.   I can't even figure out how to ask for support on this website.   I have several devices linked to Itunes and need to sync.

    1. Apple has posted their solution here: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows- Unable to install or open - MSVCR80 issue.

    Disabling the computer's security software during the download and update usually resolves a network timeout error.

    Hi,
    Install the v10.6.6 combo update available here. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.6. The combo includes fixes that were not included in the original update.

    Restart your Mac and try the MAS again.
    You can download apps directly from the MAS once you have it running.
    Considering the TM backup took so long, make sure there's enough space on your Mac startup disk.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.*

  • I want to download the "FREE" iPhoto duplicate remover software, but the download process keeps asking me for my payment information.

    I want to download the "FREE" iPhoto duplicate remover software, but the download process keeps asking me for my payment information. I have tried it several times.. But it says I cannot download this app unless I give my payment information.. So I went back and looked again and again.. and it still says it's "Free"...

    You need to contact the authors re download or payment issues - we are only users like yourself and help with iPhoto for the Mac issues
    here is Old TOad's list of potential packages including his comments
    These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
    DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
    PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) -  this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison.  It found all duplicates
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
    Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
    If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates: PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto.  None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
    iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates.  IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

  • HT5655 After clicking Safari prompt box to "Download Flash..." , I'm linked to the Adobe Flash Player Download page. I click the "Download Now". The page advance to next page in the download process but then immediately goes black and nothing happens.

    After clicking Safari prompt box to "Download Flash..." , I'm linked to the Adobe Flash Player Download page. I click the "Download Now". The page advance to next page in the download process but then immediately goes black and nothing happens. System preferences firewall is off and apps are allowed from anywhere and in Safari other plug ins are allowed and cookies are not blocked and pop up windows are not blocked. Why won't Flash Player download?

    Don't DL Flash from web sites. If you have Adobe Flash installed it should be in System Preferences and you can find the latest version and download from there.
    If you are installing for the first time,this is where to DL it.

  • Cannot update my iPad2 to 5.1 An unknown error message cancels the download process. Could you please inform me how to fix this issue? Thanks!

    Cannot update my jail broken iPad2 & iPhone 4S to 5.1
    An unknown error message cancels the download process. Could you please inform me how to fix this issue? What is also odd is the fact that the update through iTunes is substantially bigger than downloading it directly OTA, although both methods have been unsuccessful so far...
    Thanks!

    About the only thing you can try is using the Online Internet Recovery system to reinstall Lion on your Mac over the top of the current install. that will reset all system files and should not touch your personal files or the apps you have installed.
    Or iof you have a recent Time Machine backup use that to restore your Mac to that point in time.

    -  Temporarily disable anti virus software if installed.
    -  Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading including Mountain Lion.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select Mountain Lion. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

  • When going through the download process with social monkee and getting to the point of adding it to firefox I get the following message: 'Social Monkee could not be installed because firefox cannot modify the needed file'. How can this be fixed?

    When going through the download process with social monkee and getting to the point of adding it to firefox I get the following message: 'Social Monkee could not be installed because firefox cannot modify the needed file'. How can this be fixed?

    That is usually caused by a missing unpack directive (<em:unpack>true</em:unpack>) in the file install.rdf of that extension.
