Can't install Flash on new Macbook Air

I've just got a new Macbook Air - new to this!
I have tried to install Adobe Flash Player with no success, can someone help?
Everytime the download gets to around 50%, it stops and tells me Safari needs closing - however it isn't open.
I've already tried a 'clean install' and rebooting from searching these kind of forums.
Help! (laymans terms please - I'm not that 'techie'!!)

1.  Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
   Download it first.
   The next step is important.
   Click Safari in the menubar and select “Quit Safari”.
    Follow the prompts and install it.
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2.  Allow  Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Internet Plug-ins >  "Allow  plug-ins"
    Enable it.

  • How can i install windows on new macbook air using remote drive on the bootcamp partition

    Hi all, I just purchased a new macbook air mid - 2011 with OSX-Lion installed on it. I wish to install Windows XP on the boot camp partition but have not purchased the external super drive. Is there some way that I can install windows on boot camp using remote drive of my other macbook pro system.
    If this is possible, then please guide me.
    Thank you,

    Since I do NOT use anything from M$, I am afraid I am not right person to help you.
    I would suggest that you post your question for help over in the BootCamp forum loacted here

  • How can i install iwork dvd in Macbook Air?

    Somebody know how can i install iwork dvd in Macbook Air? I try to use the CD compartment from my Macbook pro, but it don't work... tks

    First, share your MB pro DVD drive on the network in System Preferences > Sharing.
    Insert the iWork DVD into the MBpro's drive.
    Then go to your MBair and click "Remote Disc" in the Finders Sidebar.
    You'll see your MBpro listed in the finder window.  Click the arrow next to The MBpro name and you'll see the shared DVD.  Double click that and the installation process should begin.

  • Can i hook up a new macbook air to my older imac screen that does not have a thunderbolt i/o?

    can i hook up a new macbook air to my older imac screen that does not have a thunderbolt i/o? if not - what can i do to view on a larger display? thanks in advance for any help!!!

    You should be able to get an adapter that will change the Thunderbolt out to a DVI or HDMI out, and connect that to an external monitor.  I am not sure what connection your iMac screen has, or if it even HAS input capability.  I know that the 27' iMac BEFORE it was given the Thunderbolt ports had MiniDP input.  If your iMac is any older than that one, I am not sure. But the adapter should allow you to output to any DVI or HDMI display, depending on which adapter you get.

  • Can you install iLife on a MacBook Air? No CD player.

    I needed to know if you can download iLife 11" without a dvd/cd drive??!!??!!

    One easy way to install applications onto a Macbook Air from CD/DVDs that you already own, if you own another Mac, is to put the optical disk into the disk drive of the other Mac and use "Disk Utility" (in the Applcations/Utilities folder) to create a Disk Image (.dmg) file of the CD/DVD. Put the disk image onto a USB flash drive. Plug the flash drive into the USB port of the Macbook Air and open the .dmg file, or transfer it to the Air first then open it (I prefer that method). After you open the .dmg file you will see a new "disk" icon on your desktop. You may have to double click on it to open it, or it may have opened automatically when you opened the .dmg file. Now it should look like you have an install CD/DVD mounted and you are ready to install software on your Macbook Air. Install the software as you would normally and viola you are done.
    If you transferred the .dmg file to your Macbook Air be sure to delete it, Macbook Airs don't have a lot of disk space.

  • [Ubuntu] Can't install Ubuntu on my MacBook Air.

    I want to install Ubuntu on my MacBook Air. Problem : each time the DVD-RW burning ends, the disc becomes unreadable. How can I install Ubuntu 12.04 64 bits on a MacBook Air late 2011 still with OS X Lion ?
    Hi there.
    I have a MacBook Air late 2011 still working with OS X Lion (actually OS X 10.7.4).
    I just wanted to install Ubuntu 12.04 64 bits on my MacBook Air but I can't and I don't know why. The problem I encounter is the following : each time the DVD-RW burning ends, the disc becomes unreadable by the system and I can't do anything but erase it and try to burn it again… This is the fourth time I did it and it still doesn't works. Impossible to burn the DVD-RW without making it unreadable by the system. And I checked Bootcamp Assistant options but there's nothing about Linux…
    I use an original Apple's superdrive to burn the disc.
    A friend just told me to use Bootcamp Assistant, install Windows 7 on a new partition, then replace Windows 7 with Ubuntu… But I don't really know what to do. This is the first time that I try to install another system…
    Could anyone help me ? Thanks.

    I finally did it. In fact, if the DVD wasn't readable by OS X after the burning, he was readable by rEFIt on the superdrive. Me (OS X Lion 4 on a MacBook Air late 2011) and a friend (OS X Mountain Lion 1 on a MacBook Pro of 2008) did it this way :
    1. Download the Ubuntu iso named "ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso".
    2. Burn it on a blank DVD with the disk utility.
    3. Make a partition for Ubuntu with the disk utility.
    4. Install rEFIt.
    5. Restart the Mac.
    6. Select the icon of Tux behind a little disc.
    7. Try Ubuntu from the disc.
    8. While trying Ubuntu on the disc, use the installer to install Ubuntu. NOTE: NE CAREFUL WHILE INSTALLING UBUNTU, IF YOU CHOOSE THE WRONG OPTION AT A MOMENT OF THE INSTALLATION YOU CAN ERASE OS X.
    9. After the installation, Ubuntu should tell you that you might restart the computer. Restart the Mac, and you'll arrive on the rEFIt menu.
    10. You can now use Ubuntu on your Mac, enjoy.
    We both did it and it worked well, I even reinstalled Ubuntu and it worked well again. Just be careful while installing Ubunut, I'll maybe repeat myself but choosing the wrong option could suppress OS X. Except if you just want a MacBook Air with Ubuntu for the weight… Have a nice day.

  • HELP! I can't install OSX Mavericks on MacBook Air

    Help! I just download and install OSX Mavericks on MacBook Air (2012), its already downloaded and installed but when booted, the wheels machine on the screen keep running. its even more an hour and i restarded it for severel times. but still not working. should I wait until the installation finished? for how long? 1, 2, or 3 hours?

    Then the hard drive is corrupted. You will need to erase it then reinstall:
    Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
            the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Installing CS4 on new MacBook Air

    I seem to have run into a problem that no one at my nearest Apple location can figure out so hopefully someone here may have an answer. I recently purchased a MacBook Air. Previously, I had a MacBook from 2006 that had all of Creative Suite 4 downloaded onto it. I uninstalled everything on my old laptop and tried to install it on the Air. However, the programs will not install. It says I am missing certain components and therefore, cannot install. The content on the discs even seems to be different.. I remember just seeing all the applications and was able to just drag and drop before ontop the desktop to install them. This time, I have to dig through 15 folders to find the application and even then, not all of them appear.
    If anyone has any suggestions at all, it would be greatly appreciated!
    - Luke

    Jeff, I did not. I honestly wasn't even aware of Migration Assistant. However, my old MacBook has basically been cleared of all my previous applications and files since I was intending on selling it now since I have my new one. The disk drive in my old Macbook also does not work anymore either. The disc will literally just spin and then stop. Because of that, I cannot install CS4 back onto it either. Is there another way for it to still work?

  • Can I increase flash storage on macbook air??

    Is it possible to increase the flash storage on a Macbook Air?  I have a 128GB and am running out of space.

    You didn't specify the model of MBA you have, but if it is amongst the last two generations, you can check here.
    Some contend it voids the warranty to upgrade your MBA in this manner. It is completely reversable if it becomes a potential issue, but make sure the expertise as shown in the install video is completely within your skill set.

  • Can't install windows xp on macbook air

    Hi,
    I have posted already on the forum about 1 month ago or more and no one answered me, so trying again.
    How can I install windows xp on my macbook air?
    I have an original xp sp2 disk and a generic external dvd burner with usb.
    I have tried many times with bootcamp, but when I get the information (with disk utility info) of my xp 2 disk it says its not bootable.
    Do you think its my disk or my external dvd burner that can't boot?
    Should I get a super drive for it to work? Is there an other way for my mac to boot the disk at startup?
    Anyone please have any answer on how they installed windows xp.

    Yes.
    I have seen this page many many times already.
    I know it is not supported by apple. But it must be possible. I read about people with MBA's getting xp on them.
    My windows xp sp2 cd should at least be bootable? Its an original with the flashy 3D genuine design on it.
    I have installed Win 7 previously, but with a usb stick. I can't have a 20gb OS on my 64gb MBA drive.
    I hope you can understand better my problem.
    Thank you.

  • Can't install CS4 on new MacBook Pro

    I'm trying to install CS4 on a brand-new MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.6.3. The Setup doesn't even start. I get an error message: "Setup cannot be opened because of a problem." It says that Setup won't work with this version of Mac OS X.
    In the Terminal details, there is the following error:
    Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/asneu.framework/Versions/A/asneu
    Referenced from: Users/...
    Reason: image not found
    I get the same error whether I double-click on the Setup.app or do Open Package Contents > Contents > MacOS > Setup.exe.
    I have researched this error and found that other people have had the issue when the setup process is 90% through, but I can't even get mine to start. I've tried using the CleanScript app from Adobe, but since I don't have another version of Creative Suite on this brand-spankin-new computer, there's nothing to clean or uninstall. I've also tried creating another admin login to install from that, but to no avail.
    Any help out there?

    the error says library not found. Somehow the install program does not execute properly. It might be a problem of the disc. If you have a second computer or an external Drive try to install from there and see if the same error occurs. If it does, then it must be the CDs. If not then we have to investigate further.

  • Can't install flash on new Windows 8 notebook

    I can't decide which I hate more -- Windows 8 or the new FireFox, as I feel like I have never seen a computer before trying to do things that used to be automatic.
    When I enter a site that wants to show a flash video, I see just a big black box, without the message that I need to install a plug-in.
    When I go to the site to manually install flash (get.adobe.com/flashplayer), it says that java is not enabled. But Java is enabled (with the miserable ask before using "feature"). I have already clicked on the little globe on this site and chosen to allow java at this site. But it still says that java is not enabled.
    Flash works fine in Internet Explorer.

    I see that Javascript is not enabled. How do I enable it?
    Reset Firefox to its default state

  • Can't use flash in new macbook

    I have a new MacBook, downloaded Flash, said its loaded but doesn't show up in applications and swf files will not open.

    You mean local swf files?  For that you will need the standalone player (Projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

Maybe you are looking for
