BBC iplayer says Adobe Air needs updating: Adobe Air will not install, but says I have a later version already on my PC!
Use Firefox. Have BBC iPlayer which will not load, saying I need a newer version of Adobe Air: when trying to instal Adobe Air, get message saying I already have a more recent version. It worked when I was using IE, but not since changing to Firefox.
Hi there,
stumbled on this conversation after having problems myself.
After lots of trial and error, I was finally able to install iPlayer on my MacBook Pro.
Firstly remove Adobe Air (Applications, Utilities, Adobe Air Uninstaller).
Reboot (not sure if it is needed but it is what I did).
Download Adobe Air 2.5 from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/853/cpsid_85304.html
Then retry installing iPlayer from the BBC webpage. I ignored the prompt from Adobe Air to upgrade to the latest version (3.1).

Adobe flash 10.1.102.64 will not install
Adobe Flash 10.1.102.64. will not install
I downloaded fp_10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0_archive but it will not install. I did use Flash uninstaller program first.
Under Application, Adobe Flash.app 10.1 r102 18.9 MB shows installed.
What did I do wrong?
If I uninstall Safari, then download reinstall, will that help me? I currently have no Flash plug-in with Safari 4.1.3 or Firefox 3.6.22.Did you maybe install the stand alone player & not the plugin for browsers?
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
Download this if you haven't...
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp10.1.102.6 4_and_9.0.289.0archive.zip
Once downloaded if it doesn't unzip automatically the double click on that file.
Look for the fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive folder, open it, look for the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 folder & open and look for 101r10264 folder & open it, double click on the flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg file, choose the Install Adobe Flash Player file to install... they don't make it easy!
Or I put up the smaller ones here...

Update for keynote will not install...how to remove update or ignore?
How can I ignore an update for Keynote that will not install? I also have an update for my printer that I have installed 4 times but it still shows as needing to be installed?
Try hiding the Keynote app in the Trash where the Mac App Store can't see it. Then try to redownload it from your Purchases list. You should get the most recent version available.

MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0 will not install.
Hi
The latest MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0 will not install.
It runs and I restart my Mac but when I search for more updates it appears as a required update again.
Anyone know why this may be?I had the same problem today. I called Apple support who transferred me to second level support and no resolution. I decided to try a combination of the items I have seen below.
I restarted my computer. I went to apple support download and downloaded the software EFI firmware update 2.0 by typing in search window. I made sure the power cord was pulled into the wall and the laptop had a FULL charge. I installed the update and the computer restarted.
I went to check the software update window after the update and restart completed and SUCCESSFUL.
I do not know why the Genius Bar or the second level support could not resolve my issues but, by me reading information here I hope at least this issue is resolved.
Thanks ALL.......... Happy Mac ing -
Firmware Update 1.2 will NOT install.
Hi, I have a 20" Intel Core 2 Duo iMac; 2.16GHz late 2006 Model. Today, I tried to update the firmware when apple told me on the software update that I need to update my firmware. I downloaded the firmware update program. In the Utilities I double clicked on it and it started. It said that I needed to close all my applications which I did and click shutdown. After clicking shutdown it told me to push the power button to restart it manually. It started up and a progress bar appeared on the screen for about 1 second, then it disappeared. The computer restarted itself and it came back to the desktop with the firmware update program saying the same text box as before. It said if this box reappears then the firmware was not properly updated. So, what should I do? The only hardware changes I've made to my computer recently was updating my memory to 2 GB from the original 1 GB. Could that cause this problem? If not, what should I do? Also... the firmware version in the system profiler was the same as before IM51.0090.B08. Please only respond if you have encountered this exact situation before or know the solution, don't reply if you just have hypotheticals that are not directly related.
Bobby..I can't say that I know the solution for sure...but I do have the exact same model iMac as you..and the 1.2 Firmware installed perfectly for me
Reading your post...I am wondering if you held down the power button long enough to hear the rapid beeps while the iMac is restarting and/or the fast flashing of the light on the front of your iMac... mine did both...could be the problem if you didn't hold it long enough...it took about 3 minutes for the update to install
Since you saw the text box and the firmware was not properly updated I believe it said to apply the update again

Macbook Pro SMC update 1.3 will not install
Greetings,
I am having problems getting the latest SMC update to install on my 15" Macbook pro. My built in drive has a boot camp partition, so I understand if the update won't install using that. But When booting off freshly GUID partitioned and HFS+(journaled) formatted Firewire 400 drive (Leopard installed and updated to 10.5.7) SMC 1.3 update will not install and gives same error "Your firmware can not be updated because the hard drive partition scheme may not be supported. You must be booted from a GUID partition or RAID scheme." Huh?
I tried the update pushed down by software update, and a manual download.
Current SMC version showing in system profiler as 1.16f10
Anyone else experience this or have any suggestions?"...hit the hardware start button, get gong, machine starts to boot, something briefly flashes on the screen"
Hi Bob, you have to hold down the start button(5-10secs) until you hear a long tone. Then let go and everything is ok.
You'll also see the progress bar install the update, that is what the brief flash was but because the button wasn't held for a few seconds, it didn't take.

Adobe Air crashing Win 7 and will not install
My problem began with me trying to do a full system scan on my computer with a few different programs and it failing 5% in. Each program stopped at Adobe
AIR files. So I googled Adobe AIR and noticed that there were viruses running under that name, so I called McAfee and they told me that there was a problem
with Adobe Air. I have tried to uninstall and nothing happens. I have tried to install the latest update and it will say "installing" for a couple of hours with no
progress showing in the line, so with my lack of patience I cancel update and even the CANCELLING window stays up until I use the task manager to close it! At
one point i had my computer tell me that Adobe AIR was corrupt. HELP ME PLEASE!!
SINCERELY,
FRUSTRATED MOMFor install issues, we always request the corresponding log files. That, plus a host of additional install troubleshooting information, is at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403150.html. Could you please attach the installer's log here.

HT2311 iTunes will not install, it says I need version 10.6.8? But there are no available updates.
I just bought new I5. It won't connect to Itunes( The iPhone “iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.).
I try to download new Version of Itunes. It says that i need version Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later.
How can I update to a newer version when my computer tells me there are no available updates?? I am confused!!Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

I was able to use Firefox until today. it will not open. i tried to update it. It downloads a newer version just fine. WhenI try to install it, it says to close firefox. Firefox isnot open. I also tried to unistall it and it won't let me.
Hi kshikuma. This happens to me sometimes, as well.
To solve this issue, open the Windows Task Manager by hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del.
Go to the "Processes" tab and see if a process named "firefox.exe" or "plugin-container.exe" is opened. Close any and all such processes by right-clicking them and selecting "End Process". -
Update to Java will not install
I received an error message when trying to play one of the games on Pogo.com telling me I need to update Java. So I went and downloaded the newest update but when I went to try to install it, I got a popup that said I need to have OS 6. I have OS 10.7.5 so why doesn't it recognize that? Is there a specific Java update for 10.7.5? I've done updates before and never had this problem.

I can only guess that you downloaded "Java for Mac OS X v10.6 Update 12" which is, as it says, only for OS X v10.6. Apple has not yet announced any plans to update Java 6 for Lion / Mountain Lion users.
Apple disabled all versions of Java in Safari less than these latest updates.
You can install the latest version of Java 7 at java.com, but I believe I heard from other users that Pogo Games are not yet Java 7 compatible.
