10/21/2010 Update - Netflix/Silverlight no longer work on 2008 Mac Pro

After performing the latest update tonight I can no longer watch video "instantly" (streaming) from Netflix.
After manually trashing and installing the latest Microsoft Silverlight internet plugin, Netflix thinks it is an O/S issue.
This is the error message I get:
Instant Watching System Compatibility
Watching instantly on your computer
Our apologies — streaming is not supported for your operating system.
Note that your current Internet browser is fully compatible with adding titles to the Instant Queue for later watching on compatible devices.
Complete System Requirements
To watch instantly, you'll need a computer that meets the following minimum requirements:
Windows
Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Vista or Windows 7
Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher; or Firefox 2 or higher
1.2 GHz processor
512 MB RAM
Mac
An Intel-based Mac with OS 10.4.8 or later
Safari 3 or higher; or Firefox 2 or higher
1 GB RAM
Of course my Mac Pro 2008 Eight Core exceeds these requirements (10GB memory for example)
Any suggestions?

I assume the update you refer to is Java.
Does it happen with Firefox 3.6.11? Safari 5.02?
Did you make a fully bootable clone first?
It is not uncommon for OS X security updates to break something.
I'd actually post and look in "Using Snow Leopard" forum.

  • Since the update my password no longer works only on apple tv

    Since the update my password no longer works  on apple tv

    Cute.  I redid my apple password last nite and made it real simple.  It worked fine signing in to the forum just now.  When I use it to sign in on Apple TV  I keep getting message.  ' server not available'. I had gotten it to sign in earlier but netflix wouldn't play the movie.  Just the previews.   So I reset everything and tried to start over and I can't log on at all.  So if you have any helpful suggestions I would be interested in hearing them. Thank you

    Use an earlier version of Firefox, use Safari, or upgrade to a later version of OS X. Any Intel Mac can run Snow Leopard.

  • Mac Yosemite 10.10.2 -- System Pref. Java pane/ctrl-panel, Update-tab-function no-longer works, after updting to Java 8v40

    Under the Mac Yosemite 10.10.2 O.S. -- the System Preferences: Java pane/ctrl-panel: Update-tab-function no-longer works, after updting to Java 8v40 JRE & SDK -- says that the internet connection is not valid !

    A few questions....I assume your network is connected to the Internet? Do you use a proxy? If so, is it set in the browser or in the Java Control Panel?

  • I have a 2010 Cadillac CTS that no longer works w/my iPhone 4 after iOS7 Upgrade.

    I have a 2010 Cadillac CTS that no longer works w/my iPhone 4 after iOS7 Upgrade.  Any suggestions?  It worked well before the upgrade.

    I'm sorry...my question was imprecise.  When I said 'no longer works' I was referring to plugging the device into the USB and power jacks in the center console and then being able to play music through the radio and control the device from either the radio or the steering wheel buttons.  The iPhone 4 I use for this purpose has no cellular service and has never been paired with the car.  I have an iPhone 5 with cellular service that is paired with the car.  I cannot test theiPhone 5 with the car because of the difference of connectors on the phone.   :-(  The iPhone 4, however, works fine in my wife's Hyundai Santa Fe.
    Thanks, in advance!

    Purchased a early 2008 Mac Pro in 2010. Yesterday I updated my mac to System 10.9 and now I have a dialogue box in system preferences saying I need to update the NVIDIA CUDA drivers but the servers are unavailable. I download a driver from the site but the Mac would not open it. This system has an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB graphics card. What do I need to do. Do I need a new Card?

    Vista Ultimate 64-bit recognizes 8 cores. 32-bit recognizes one physical cpu.
    I've had very little trouble in two years. And now I do like Windows 7 but also eager for the RC.
    I've been using the latest Nvidia. There is a method to the madness of how to uninstall/delete and install graphics drivers, or madness in the method. The W7 drivers are easier.
    Nope. Something else. More sensitive to disk errors. You aren't running a program to boost fans. Something.
    And some AV software is more prone to causing trouble. But all you need is a good AV/malware program, and even Norton AV 2009 is acceptable, or Avast or one of the others.

  • I have bought adobe creative suite 3 design premium for 6 year ago. Is it possible to update it. I am working on mini Mac 10.9.5.

    I have bought adobe creative suite 3 design premium for 6 year ago. Is it possible to update it? I am working on mini Mac 10.9.5.

    Thanks for answer and question
    My adobe suite 3 is on CD. I didn’t installed it in my computer that time.  I wait too long to bay a new computer.  And now 6 year after it doesn’t fit to the Mac OSX 10.9.5 I bought in 2013. My problem is that the CD with programs cost much money in 2007. I read on Adobe webpage that there is a special offer for CS user (40% discount). How can i get it?
    Mybe the best for me is to sell my suite 3 CD. The development goes too fast for me. It is too expensive to bay pr month full version creative cloud. My be the only solution is photoshop with lightroom.

  • For how much longer can a 2008 MacBook Pro?

    For how much longer can a 2008 MacBook Pro run? I'm still on Snow Leopard but just have updated HDD and RAM. Now the graphic card went down and the repair costs half of a new computer. What to do? If I can get three more years out of it I'd go for it, but it's a gamble. Can you guess the risks?

    DONT PAY FOR A REPAIR! its not worth it anymore, as most companies dont replace the gpu because the part isnt made any more.  They don't repair it and it isnt permanent, but your still paying!! its crazy! fortunately there is a way to do the exact thing that they do without dissassembling your computer! just follow these steps:
    1. Plug in your macbook pro (make sure that its off)
    2. Turn on the computer, and hwen it chimes, close the lid and turn it updside down.
    3. Wrap the macbook in a heavy quilt.
    4. Let the computer sit for about an hour.
    5. Take it out of the quilt, unplug it and let it cool for 20 minutes.
    6. Turn on the computer.
    I can say that this works as I had the same problem, and after this method, the computer is up and running, I'm typing this on it now!

  • HT1338 cinema Display 30" no longer recognized by my mac pro? What can I do? It worked fine until now.

    Cinema display 30" no longer recognized by my mac pro. Until now it worked without problems, then after a crash it fails to recognize the display.
    Now it runs in a far lower resolution. What can I do?
    I tried to get da driver for it, but could not find any.

    Try the other DVI port on the graphics card.  On early Mac Pros, only one port is the dual-link DVI needed for full resolution on the 30" display.  Make sure the display's USB cable is plugged into the computer.

  • My 2008 Mac Pro is no longer recognizing memory in the B card. Is it simply a defective card or should I look elsewhere for an answer.

    My 2008 Mac Pro is no longer recognizing memory in the B card. Is it simply a defective card or should I look elsewhere for an answer? It was working unntil sometime early this year. Thank you for any enlightenment you can provide.

    I'm not sure I understand. You swapped the A and B modules. The B module does not show up in the A modules slot? That would indicate the module is bad. If the A module doesn't show up in the B module's slot, then the slot is bad.

  • After installing latest update Realplayer recording no longer works, I think Mozila is using a library file with the same name

    After installing the latest update to Firefox onto Vista operating system the record part of real player no longer works, I think Mozila and Real are using a library file with the same name and the Mozila update is overwriting a Realplayer library file.

    I was giong to say, "Help me, Adobe Joe Kenobi", but it looks like you're growing a beard waiting for an answer, too.
    The same thing happened to me today. I trusted the "update" message since it was from Adobe, and apprently did so at my own peril. Now I get the "failed to load Core dll" message with a secondary reference to a memory address.
    Just an observation, but what good are these forums when there are no answers? I see this problem as "Caused by Adobe Update", and would expect them to troublshoot and offer up a remedy. Since you've been waiting over two months with no response, I suppose it's time to trek off wasting more of my precious time to fix their problem. If I find the solution, I'll post it back to you.
    May the Force be with you.
