1. Restart your computer to stop any Adobe process that is running.
2. Click on the following Adobe link. Go to the bottom where it says "Still having problems?". Click on the version of Flash Player for your browser.

I am running Firefox RC.

figured it out:
- power off mac and turn back on while holding down Command + R (dont do it on an external keyboard just to be safe)
- choose the re-install Lion option (I'm sure there is another way to re-install Lion, this is just the way I did it, not saying its the best or only method)
- DO NOT INSTALL MACBOOK (Mid 2012) Software Update 1.0 - THIS SCREWS ADOBE UP!

Blank Dialog Boxes with PUSH ME blue buttons

Greetings All,
I'm a fairly experienced Mac User and have been a bit surprised recently to be getting blank dialog boxes with buttons. Could it be some sort of spyware hoping I'll just push the blue buttons?
It seems to come up once my Mac has been on for a while.
Today I clicked a link at a website I frequently visit. I did so in FIREFOX and it's one of the few sites I allow for pop up windows. The link doesn't lead to a popup, but it did in this case: a blank window with blank buttons.
http://www.screenplayhouse.com/temp/blank.jpg
I quit FIREFOX and won another such window. I logged out, logged in, and it's gone.
Is there some utility I can open-- like Activity monitor-- and find out what these windows are attached to?
Just curious,
Me
(I have two similar Macs but only this one seems to do it.)

I would look in Console and see if anything is being reported as you're experiencing this. (Console is in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder). If something is, post it here.
When the window is visible, switch to the Finder by clicking on its icon in the Dock. Then click onto the dialog to activate its window. See if the application name in the upper left corner changes when the dialog window comes forward. If it does, then it would most likely be the name of the application that's created the dialog. If it doesn't change, then it could be created by either the Finder or by an invisible background application whose LSUIElement is set to 1 so that it doesn't appear in the Dock or in the Force quit window (it should show in Activity Monitor though). To determine which one it is, do the following. Switch to another application, like TextEdit, by clicking on its icon in the Dock. Then click on the dialog window again to bring it forward. If the application name shown in the upper left still says TextEdit, then you know that the dialog is being created by a background application.
If it is, Open Activity Monitor and change the scope to All Processes. Quit as many open applications as possible, and then bring the dialog forward again. A pulsating button should use a small amount of CPU usage, try to use that to help narrow down what process might be causing it. Also, most likely any application that's drawing a button will have the "/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/
HIToolbox.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Extras.rsrc" file listed as an open file in the Open Files and Ports tab of an info window of Activity Monitor. (You can open an info window for an application by double-clicking on it in Activity Monitor).
Hope this helps....

CS3 extended student 10.0: update problem, blank dialog box

After having installed successfully photoshop CS3 version 10.0 from DVD I would like to download an update.
Problem: After download (80mb) the update cannot be installed. Instead of an error message it appears a blank dialog box. Please help.

You have SCADS of extensions and the things running. McAfee, Intego, Orbicule, CleanMyMac, and others I've not ever even heard of. My first recommendation would be to remove all of these and see if things improve.

I am using an iphone 3g and when i connect my device to my laptop a dialog box appears saying that an update of 4.2 is available so went for it.after the firmware is downloaded via itunes it shows that the firmware is invalid!.please help.

HEY GUYS I AM USING AN IPHONE 3g and when i connect my device to my laptop a dialog box appears saying that an update of 4.2 is available so went for it.after the firmware is downloaded via itunes it shows that the firmware is invalid!.please help.
AND ALSO I HAVE HEARD THAT THE IPHONE 3G CANNOT BE UPDATED TO IOS 4.2!IS IT TRUE???
PLEASE HELP ME.

This means that the phone you have was software unlocked to use on any carrier, or hacked. When you installed the update it restored the lock that originaly came with your phone. Not much you can do now. Apple will not support hacked phones. You will need to find out the carrier your phone is locked to and see if they offer official unlocking, or start googling to see if you can find a way to unlock 4.2.

Export Save / Open dialog box appears behind disco screen

Hi all
Disco 10g Plus, excel, latest Sun java 6.16 jvm
We have an annoying but strange issue with exporting.
A user opens and runs a report ok.
Withing Disco 10 plus they then click on either file-Export-excel or click on the Export Excel icon on disco plus toolbar
Either way the export happens and a dialog box appears with blue progress bar and then this disappears.
And then nothing appears to happen.
However, something actually has happened, behind the disco 10 window the 'File Download' dialog box with 'Do you wish to open or save this file?' appears. Clicking on save saves it to PC and clicking open opens it in Excel which is fine.
I am not sure of this box belongs to excel or internet explorer but does anyone know of any way to have this dialog box appear IN FRONT of the current disco plus window as some of our users think that disco has 'frozen' and thus log support calls.
thanks in advance,
dw

Hi dw
I have heard of folks complaining that exports to Excel hang. I have not had any feedback to say that the dialog box is actually open behind the scenes. This is very interesting news and thanks for reporting it. I will certainly look for this in the future and see if I can find a pattern.
If I may ask, what exact version of Discoverer are you on and what cumulative patch level have you implemented?
Also, what browser are you using and have you tried this in another one?
Have you tried deinstalling Java 6.16 and tested with an older one like 6.11 which I have seen working very well?
As much extra information as you can provide will definitely help and could trigger an idea from someone reading.
Best wishes
Michael

I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option.

# Question
I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one of 2 things occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option. The other is if the proper dialog box appears, I agree and the a different box appears and there is foxfire with a red circle with a diagonal line across is appears.

I find the easiest way to install Adobe Flash is to use the manual installers. You just need to download the installer to your computer, then run it to install Flash. For more details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
That link states you should uninstall earlier versions, as you don't have the version of Flash used by Firefox you can skip that step.

Security Dialog Box appears in Javascripts

hi all.
I ve some problem with my javascript which is used to present menus at the homepage. I have a dropdown menu also, wherein, whenever I rollover t mouse on dropdown menus, a security dialog box appears(this page works on https), and it doesnot appear until u refresh the page again.
I have 2 menu scripts. In menu1.js, I call a fn which is in menu_main.js
The call in menu1.js, goes like this
startSubmenu("menu_pre_b7","menu_pre_menu",83);submenuItem("Help",loc+"pre_help.htm","_self","menu_pre_plain");submenuItem("Search",loc+"GetPage1Action.do?command=getPage1","_self","menu_pre_plain");submenuItem("DJVU Plugin",loc+"pre_lizardtech_djvu.htm","_self","menu_pre_plain");endSubmenu("menu_pre_b7"); and the menu_main.js has the function for startSubMenu as
function startSubmenu(name,style,sw){var depth=name.split("_").length+1000;if(NS4)return;if(sw>0)menuw=sw;d.write("<div id=\""+name+"\" style=\"z-index:999;border-color:#000000;border-style:solid;border-width:"+bd+"px 0px "+bd+"px 0px;background-color:#ffffff;position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;visibility:hidden;z-index:"+depth+";width:"+(menuw+(NS7?bd*2:0))+"px\">");}I hope the problem is with the startSubMenu function. Can someone help me on this?

Unfortunately this forum is for the Java programming language, not for the ECMAScript compliant Javascript.
Sincerely,
Jussi

Update available dialog box appears behind app window

We have an app that checks for an update each time it launches. This has worked quite well until our latest rev, which included an upgrade to Flash Builder 4.0, the 4.0 sdk, and the AIR 2.0 overlay.
Now the update dialog box appears behind our application window, which means our users are not going to see it.
Has anyone else seen this problem?
Our code looks something like this:
        private function initUpdate():void
            appUpdater = new ApplicationUpdaterUI();
            appUpdater.configurationFile = new File("app:/update-config.xml");
            appUpdater.initialize();
            appUpdater.addEventListener(UpdateEvent.INITIALIZED, autoUpdate);
        private function autoUpdate(ev:UpdateEvent):void
            appUpdater.isCheckForUpdateVisible = false;
            appUpdater.checkNow();
            appUpdater.removeEventListener(UpdateEvent.INITIALIZED, autoUpdate);
Do I need to try to control the order of the windows? Never had to do that before? Or perhaps "delay" the initialization of the appUpdater() by calling it later in the startup process.
Any other thoughts are appreciated.
Kevin S.

Yes, thanks. That's what I did to solve the problem. I inserted a timer and delayed the call to check for updates for .25 of a second, and now the Update Available dialog is appearing on top of the application window.

Using Message Built-In - Message dialog box appears twice

Hi all,
I'm using the message built-in to display messages in forms.
I use the message command twice to make it appear as a dialog box.(Using it once displays it in status bar)
Eg.
Message('Hello World');
Message('Hello World');
Sometimes, the dialog box appears twice instead of once.
Is there a way to solve this ?
Regards,
Sam

With an alert, you can write up to 200 characters in the alert box. With a message, you can write up to 255 characters, and if you want the message to pop up in an alert box, you can write a double message. I use:
Message('Hello World');
Message(' ',no_acknowledge);

File Info just gives me a blank dialog box

I am just starting to use PS CS4. I am using a PC with Windows XP 64, 8 GB of RAM etc. The problem I am having is that when I try to add a caption to an image by going to File Info, I get a blank dialog box. It gives the filename at the top but just plain white blank inside the box. The same thing happens in File Info within Bridge. In the metadata panel in Bridge, I can see the metadata is there, including previous captions. But I cannot access them in File Info and I also cannot activate the caption within the metadata panel to edit the caption text.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how can it be fixed?
Thanks,
Roberta O.

Hi Roberta,
Create a new text file named XMP.cfg (make sure the extension is cfg and not txt).
The only text that needs to be in that file is as below:
C:\
Copy the file to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\FlashPlayerTrust (create the directory if not already there).
Restart the Adobe application and check the File Info panel again.
