Adobe air won't load, on macbook pro

I have an early 2011 Macbook pro, all was well till I tried to download latest Mac User on Zinio reader. This worked when I reopened zinio to read it
it crashed. Have tried, even took machine to Apple store, all attempts to download adobe air fail. Does anyone have a fix????

I'm assuming you have one of the MBP's with a discrete GPU? If so, there is a known issue with Adobe Air and MBPs with discrete GPUs. In order to get Air-related things to run without crashing, you must go to:
System Preferences > Energy Saver
From there, uncheck "Automatic Graphics Switching."
Adobe Air should now work properly.

Facebook won't load on Macbook pro with 10.8

Facebook won't load on Macbook pro with Mountain lion on a small homw network at home
I am on a wifi Network. Girlfirend's Macbook got no problem with Facebook on the same network (she got snow leopard installed)
Facebook WILL load when i connect my computer directly to the the modem, bypassing the router.
Facebook will load when i use Windows 7 on VMWARE.
What i already tried:
1- Reset the router
2- cleaning caches on all the browsers i'm using (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
Never had that problem with 10.7
Mystery, don't know what i should do except reinstalling Mountain lion...
Any idea?

Edge Inspect desktop has no UI and only Inspect icon will be visible in the menu bar. Also, you need to be logged in with Adobe ID in the app.

Adobe air won't load

I need to see if someone can help. I believe I have adobe air through photoshop 7, however it will not load. I get a message saying that there was an error, and to try installing it again. The error message I get is Error# 2032. I no longer can find my photoshop cd and can't find a link to download Adobe Air. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Web pages won't load when MacBook Pro on battery power

My sister bought a MacBook Pro in January. She switched from a Dell laptop. Everything was great until a few weeks ago. When she would be on battery power, she would have a hard time getting websites to load with Safari. I suggested she use Firefox and see if it made a difference. It didn't.
She can try to open a webpage and it will try to load for a long time (3-5 minutes). If she plugs in the power adapter, the page loads immediately. She still has her Dell laptop and the same websites load with no problem when using the Dell on battery.
I told her to call Apple since she has Applecare. Apple sent her a new battery even though they told her they didn't think it was that. It didn't make any difference. They told her it was her internet connection, but it works fine if the MacBook Pro is hooked up to the power adapter and her Dell laptop loads internet pages without any problem while on battery power. Then they tried to tell her just to use the power adapter all the time. She told them if she wanted to be tied down to a power adapter she would have bought a desktop. (Not a very good comment by Apple in my opinion.)
She doesn't live close to an Apple Store to take it in.
This is just the weirdest thing I have ever heard of. All of her other applications (Office, Photoshop, iTunes, etc.) run just fine on battery power. It is just the internet. At first I thought it might just be secure sites, like banking, but she couldn't get MacNN or Versiontracker to load while on battery power.
Does anyone have any ideas?

You'll probably find an Airport aerial issue. Does she find that Airport reception (a better guide is shown in Internet Connect) will drop dramatically when she disconnects power? If so contact AppleCare again and give them this information under the same case number she wuold have gotten when they replaced the battery.
PS In space, no-one can hear you scream!

Windows 7 Won't load on MacBook Pro 17"

I am on my second day of trying to load Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro 3.06Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB of ram. I've tried installing on to an external hard drive and I have tried to install in using boot camp but I get the same error with both, Windows cannot be loaded because of drivers.I have been all over the web looking for intel drivers, chipsets, or any other drivers that might work with no luck. I've even loaded my OS X 10.6 disk in a windows machine and copied the drivers over to an external. I have had Windows XP using Boot Camp and refuse to go to Windows Vista. Any Advice would be great.

You have not provided, for me, anything to go by.
You can't install Windows on a Mac except with Boot Camp Assistant if you want to retain Mac OS.
You cannot install on external drives.
You can install Windows 7 only, take over the entire internal hard drive.
Boot Camp Assistant can fail or refuse to partition if there is not enough free contiguous (unfragmented) free space or if there are files that cannot be moved. In which case you may need to boot from another hard drive and buy iPartition and/or iDefrag; or, use Disk Utility and totally erase and restore from backups.
And most of that is in the Boot Camp PDF:

IPad air won't sync to MacBook pro

I Tried to sync my iPad air to my MacBook pro laptop and it doesn't register under devices on iTunes. The iPad isnt even showing it as charging while plugged into the computer. I troubleshot by plugging in an iPhone 5 and it recognized that device. Do I need to get my iPad serviced? It is under warranty.

Hi, echld.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need more information regarding your system configuration and hardware to provide a better answer. However, here is an article that you may find helpful when experiencing this issue.

Itunes store won't load for macbook pro.

I try to connect to the Itunes store - the status bar at the top loads all the way up; then I just get a blank screen. It seems others have experienced the same issue. There is some answer out there involving "netsh winsock reset" but the step by steps are all for windows/pc users. I contacted apple support, but I am not paying 20.00 for an answer. Any help would be appreciated.

@kyle_roy
thanks for that solution, because it worked for me too! (macbook pro, 5,1 running OSX 10.6.8, loading with itunes 11.1.
i wanted to browse/order a movie and got the same blank screen—downloading the latest version of safari solved it.
the safari update must install an additional system components necessary for apple store to load properly. I wonder what would happen if i deleted safari since i primarily use google chrome for web browsing.
if someone knows or finds out what the new or updated system components are, please let me know in case this ever happens again.
thanks.

The Sims 3 won't load on MacBook Pro 2012

I recently just got a new MacBook Pro and I had my Sims 3 game from when it first came out. However, the game isn't being recognized by the computer. The case shows that the game is compatible with Windows and Mac. I heard if you install to Windows you can't install to Mac right? I'm confused. Does this mean I need to go buy a new game?

See if this is of any help:

Gmail folders won't load on Macbook Pro Retina

I've just bought a brand new Macbook Pro Retina. I've transfered all files / settings over from my old macbook pro using Time Machine, but for some reason I'm unable to view any emails I have filed in Mail (I have a Gmail account), and when I file any new emails they don't appear in my folders.
They do show up on Gmail webmail in the files I've moved them to - the only issue is that they don't appear on Mail.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks in advance!

1.5 won't load on MacBook Pro

I'm trying to update Aperture 1.1.2 to 1.5 on my MacBook Pro. I've got the Academic version of Aperature. But when I try to update, the updater tells me I have to have Aperture installed. I do. What gives?
I tried repairing all permissions, but it doesn't help.
Aperature is working fine.

Not sure for sure because I just read it rather than
experienced it myself but it is my understanding that
the Academic version does not qualify for free
upgrades.
So you might be stuck with what you have - try
calling Applecare and see...
Not true. Academic versions and retail versions are exactly the same regarding the software. The only difference is price.

Printer Drivers won't load on Macbook Pro

I just purchased a canon image class d530, and when I try to load the driver I get the error message "Cannot install on this version of the operating system you are using". It says it should work for Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later and I have Mac OS X 10.10.1. What can I try to get a driver to load so the printer is usable with my computer?

Adobe Air won't install on android device.

Just got a android phone to develop air apps on and guess what, the Adobe Air won't load.
The phone (Virgin Mobile Optimus V = Mid-Tex Cellular LGE VM670) was just released.
Does Adobe Air have minimum specs that have to be followed?
Does the Adobe Air app have to updated with my phone to allow access on the android market .
Some Air apps will show my phone, on others air apps do not (device ghosted) Including Adobe Air.
Thanks

I found this minimun specs:
Android devices
Google Android™ 2.2 operating system
ARMv7-A processor with vector FPU
OpenGL ES 2
H.264 and AAC hardware decoders
256MB of RAM
The Optimus V has OS 2.2 and enough ram.
Have to check the rest of the specs.
The screen res is 320x480 and the processor is slow but has a gpu.
I was surprised to see only 5 manufacturers certifided for Adobe Air Runtimes!
There might be 50 manufacturers world wide making android devices.
You would think the software would cater to the lowest common denomminator = minimun specs.
I don't mind needing top of the line specs, that's OK makes sense, But not being able to sell an app
because the manufacturer has not been certifided makes no sense.
All manufacturers should have a top of the line device that meets the minimun spec.
It limits your market.
Sorry for the rant,
want to buy a phone. Mint!

Hi I'm thinking of buying Adobe After Effects CC for my MacBook Pro. But I am worried it won't work. Here are my specs 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB Ram, 1333 MHz DDR3,13-inch (1280 x 800) are my displays and I'm up to date with latest software.

I need to know if this will work on this Mac and or if there is any other After Effects that will work.

The display would not. However, your model does not have a discrete GPU, and the integrated (Intel 3000) would not meet CS6's requirements (any CS6 software) alone.
However:
Standard VRAM:
384 MB
Maximum VRAM:
512 MB*
Details:
Apple reports that "memory available to Mac OS X may vary depending on graphics needs. Minimum graphics memory usage is 384 MB". *If upgraded to 8 GB of RAM (or more), 512 MB will be reserved for video function.
In other words, you would need to upgrade your RAM to 8 GB. The VRAM (video ram) of the processor can exceed its specifications if you upgrade your memory to 8 GB. In order to run the software, you would have to upgrade your RAM first:

My macbook air won't load. Says start up disk is full but I can't get the home page to open

My Macbook air won't load. Says the start up disk is full but won't open the home page so I can do anything about it

Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.

My MacBook Air won't load web pages from the internet. It will connect to phone hotspot and run fine. The apple store reset the library and network preferences and it ran fine for a little bit, now slow again. Any ideas?
