Hello Pete from another old guy,
It sounds like you have an older iMac than the 2006 and newer model this forum covers. The problem is that, in 2006, Apple changed from PowerPC to Intel processors and third-party developers soon stopped making new software for the older processors. That's why you cannot upgrade Flash player--the current version requires a Mac the "2006 and later" processor.
However, not having a current version of FlashPlayer should not affect your ability to download. If you try downloading, do you get an error message or does something else happen?
Do you have another web browser like FireFox or Camino on your computer?
but would love to get my MAC back up to date and running right.
Well, "running right" may be doable but "up to date" may not be. You are already at as high a Mac OS level that a pre-2006 Mac can use.  We need to pin down your variant to make recommendations. From your Apple menu at the left end of the menu bar, do "About this Mac":
That brings up this window:
Let us know what yours say for "processor." The two choices are "PowerPC" as in the example, or "Intel." If you  have an Intel processor, you have more options available.
Awaiting your report,
Allan

    when login screen appears my keybord doesn't work so i can't type my username and password on my macbook

    I had my meeting with the Genius bar tech support. He reviewed all of the Apple Care history I have accumultaed over the last 4 weeks.  He looked at my system and couldnt find any software issues.  That led him to speculate it may be a hardware issue. After explaining that I spent over $5000 for my complete set up, I would not be happy with a repair on a brand new unit.  He spoke to store manager and they agreed to replace the defective MBP.
    I have completed my migration using Set Up Assistant and ethernet connection from old MBP to new MBP and it went smoothly.  I migrated 324Gb in under 4 hours! Over night I created a complete backup using Time Capsule; again with an ethernet connection, and it took under 7 hours.
    Everything is operating as normal. 
    Hopefully, this issue is behind me.

    I installed the new IOS 7 and now it asks me to inform a password, but I really do not know what password I need to inform. Could you help me:

    if you mean it asks you to add a passcode to the device, you may say no.  It really tries to encourage you to put a code on, by asking twice.....

  • I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts

    I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts.   All the instructions on synching start with "find your device in the device window".  But what if you have no device window?

    Missing "message" from above: The iPad "DGMTR" is synced with another iTunes library on DGMTR's MacBook Pro. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library? An iPad can be synched with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iTunes library.
    I thought the libraries were the same.

    If that doesn't work for you (and some users have reported it has not worked for them), try Niel's procedure Making the Setup Assistant reappear.

  • How can I force ALL logins and passwords to save/remember

    I have upgraded to Firefox 8.0. However I can no longer force force Firefox to remember my logins and passwords for certain sites. I was able to do this with my old version by changing some config setting. However, I can not find anything about 8.0 where I can do that again. I'm running XP Pro. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

  • After installing new GTX 660 TF OC system running slowly and lags in graphic

    Hello
    I have had some problems with my newly bought  MSI GTX 660 TF 2GB OC card.
    After install the computer have been very slowly allmost like the driver wasn't there. When I drag a window it show the animation in frames and lag. And this is in windows basic theme. My CPU also have a higher load when performing task than before.
    My previous graphic card was: GTX 295
    What I have already tried:
    1. Remove all existing drivers and using "Driver sweeper" in failsafe mode. Then reinstall the newest driver from Nvidia
    2. Tried another PCI-E slot
    3. Tried another PCI-E cable for power
    4. Reinstalled the drivers once more
    5. Format my computer and installed drivers once more
    6. Updated my mobo bios
    After reading some more i expect the problem could be solved by update my Graphic card Bios as there is a newer bios available.
    I have downloaded the bios from the MSI download under the GTX 660 TF OC card.
    However I don't know how to flash it. The read-me says this:
    Quote
    If your card with Hybid bios face the compatible issue, with this NV flash tool, you can flash bios to Legacy bios under DOS solving compatible issue,
    You need to execute command as below:
    1. First Find the file you download,command as below
    cd nvbiosflash
    2. Second, flash the bios
    nvidia NV287MS222.rom
    I understand the commands bit, but how to enter that DOS thing i don't get.
    Need to copy all the files to a bootable usb drive?
    And then it automatically open this dos state?
    Hope you can help med here, never flashed bios on a graphic card before
    Best regards
    Frederik

    Well, it is kind of hard to explain. Allmost everything I do is laggy and slowly compared to how it was before I installed the new graphic card.
    Most noticeable is when moving with windows. It show the movement in frames. Overall it just behaves like if the drivers isn't working. I have tried with the latest driver and one of the latest beta drivers to see if it had any effect. No changes, still laggy.
    To try at show my issue i have uploaded a video on youtube of my screen.

    Hi ...
    On your iPad? The reason I ask is because you posted in the Mac App Store forum for the Mac OS X.
    Tap Settings > Store > Apple ID
    Type in the correct Apple ID and password.

  • When I open a new Tab or window I can't type in a web address because the browser window lists a number of search engines only.

    There seems to be no way to get to the internet except through Google or another search engine.
    I never had this problem before I downloaded the latest version [3.6.1]

    Are you using the same extensions on both computers?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • I can't type in my ipad password because I changed the language of the keyboard, and now I'm locked out of it. What do I do?

    I accidentally set my ipad's keyboard to arabic, and my password for it has all english letters, and now I can't get into my ipad.
    What do I do?

    Have u backed up your ipad to iTunes recently? You could restore it from a backup. That would restore your ipad to a point in time that your keyboard was in English.

  • I lived in the uk for some time and set up my itunes while I was there. Upon moving bnack I managed to get all my music back however after my mot recent iphone update, I lost some of my songs from the uk. Not all of them. HELP!

    I lived in the uk and have now lost some of the music I purchased there. Not all of the music. I still have reciept numbers. Can I get it back?

    try changing your appleID to whatever you were using when you were acessing the UK store.  Then try to re-download the purchased music.  I am not sure if re-downloading music works from the UK store, however.  It might be US only.  If this is the case, you will need to contact iTunes support.

  • MacBook Air late 2010 very hot after installing Mountain Lion? Can i back to Lion?

    My MacBook Air, late 2010, is very hot and the vans are going too speedy after installing Mountain Lion. Can I deinstalling Mountain Lion and returno to Lion? What are the steps for this deinstallation? Thank you.

    Technically, there is a way, but it is definitely not something I would recommend, as downgrading isn't usually supported/encouraged.
    I found a website that has instructions but it clearly states it's not for the inexpert, so proceed at your own risk.  Also, I don't think you can download Lion from the AppStore anymore?
