Choosing different webcam in Lion's Flash Preferences (workaround?)

I am aware of the bug the prevents clicking in the Flash Settings in OSX Lion. There is a workaround using the Flash Preferences and Allowing for a specific site, but this does not solve my issue:
I need to select a different camera (or mic) in the Flash Settings. The webcam/mic settings are already set to "Allow" on the site but the wrong webcam is selected so nothing appears. I can use the tab button and space bar to select different aspects of the Flash Settings, but I don't know how to force the drop down menu on the webcam settings to select a different webcam (I can highlight it with a few tabs).
The Flash Preferences under Mac System Preferences allows me to select which sites allow the webcam, but not which webcam to use. And I can select the Global Settings window on the Adobe website but not a Camera Settings window.
How can I select a different webcam?

That helps a lot Tom. But thanks for your intelligent input, I am sure it has helped the OP out with their query. You seem to be very bitter towards Apple and yet continue to post your negativity everywhere in these forums, usually with little relevance to the questions asked and the issues raised. But if it reassures you about your inability to keep up with technology then we are all happy for you.
Now back to the OP. The workarounds spoken about include

and

as a couple of examples. They are hacks, so I don't know if you have to turn them back on after each reboot, but apparently they will color your world again.
Good Luck

Choosing different versions of Flash Player in Flash Catalyst

Greetings everyone,
Is it possible to choose different version of flash player when I publish my website using flash catalyst? Currently it is askinf for flash player 10.2 in order to play. I want to lower down the version of flash player required in order to let more users view my project.
Thanks!
James

This is an amazingly useful tool as a developer working a

age range (older people seem to have older versions installed).

Anyone having issues using their cam in MacBook pro Lion on Flash websites?

When going on websites that try to turn on your webcam using Flash, the dialog box that pops up asking for permission is not "clickable." The solution of going into Flash preferences and granting permission site-by-site to always allow access to your cam is great until you try to take permission away. Then you can't click the dialog box again. Is there going to be a real fix for this, or is it another salvo in the Apple vs. Adobe wars?

Same problem here. Solutions, anyone?

Webcams Not Working With Flash

I'm using Windows 8 64 bit, have tried on both chrome and firefox, flash version 11.8.
I'm trying to broadcast my webcam and audio in flash chat rooms. When I'm prompted to choose my video and audio sources the options show up but they can not be utilized properly. There isn't an issue with my webcams or mics because they work fine when streamed through encoders or used on Skype. The problem is specifically with flash chat rooms. I've uninstalled and reinstalled flash as a program, disabled and enabled as a plugin/add on, deleted the cache. I'm completely stumped on what the problem is please help I need to get this fixed ASAP.

Hi Alejandro,
Things to check:
1. Do you have the "Select" event coming form the table to display further info?
2. Does it work with Web Dynpro?
Did you know that if the compiler option is portal and on deployment you would see 2 deployed versions 1. HTML and the 2. Flex?
Let me know.
Good luck,
Dharmi

I do not see where to enter IP addresses in the Open VPN setup. Also, how can I set it up so that I can choose different servers in the same way as I can currently choose them with my VPN app but for PPTP?

I think I have it working on my iPhone 5. But, I do not see how I can control the exit point that I would like for the VPN. Are all the exit points shown in the VPN setting now going to work with Open VPN, or do they remain PPTP? If I am reading correctly, they look like they remain PPTP. If I cannot control the exit point for open VPN, which exit point is the default in the profile you provided me?I note that Open VPN Connect does not work with any of the new 64 bit devices like the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the new iPad MIni. Is there any chance that you guys will come up with an update for your app so that open VPN can be made to work on all iOS devices? That would be nice, particularly if the Open VPN Connect app does not give me a choice of exit points.Thanks,

Just a quick note to tell you that Open VPN has updated their app so that it is compatible with 64 bit ARM devices like the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the iPad Mini Retina.That does not resolve the problem of how to easily choose among the various possibilities for the exit server. We need to find an easy way to choose.

Thank you for trying the new Firefox. I'm sorry that you’re unhappy with the new design.
I understand your frustration and surprise at the removal of these features but I can't undo these changes. I'm just a support volunteer and I do not work for Mozilla. But you can send any feedback about these changes to http://input.mozilla.org/feedback. Firefox developers collect data submitted through there then present it at the weekly Firefox meeting
I recommend you try to adjust to 29 and see if you can't make it work for you before you downgrade to a less secure and soon outdated version of Firefox.
Here are a few suggestions for restoring the old design. I hope you’ll find one that works for you:
*Use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer] to bring back the old design. Learn more here: [[How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox]]
*Use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/the-addon-bar/ Add-on Bar Restored] to bring back the add-on bar. Learn more here: [[What happened to the Add-on Bar?]]

I have recently installed the new OSX Lion on my 2009 MacBook. Now I cannot get access to my Windows-Partition, which is on the harddisk. I cannot choose to boot from LION OSX or Windows. Who can help?

I have recently upgraded my MacBook to OSX Lion. Now I cannot get access to my windows-partition. I cannot choose booting from OSX Lion or Windows. Who can help???

I believe that Lion and Mountian Lion use BootCamp 4.0 and earlier versions used 3.0. I don't use BootCamp but from reading The link below you need to get new drivers, burn a cd and install. Check out #20 on this page.

I would like to install my xerox 8560 multiple times and choose different options

I would like to install my xerox 8560 multiple times and choose different options (simplex, multiplex, etc.) for each printer, so that I can just choose the printer with the options needed instead of choosing them every time. Can that be done?

Mountain Lion and Flash CS6

Wondering if I can get some clarification on an issue i'm having with Flash CS6 and mountain lion 10.8.3:
I recently purchased a 27" iMac i7 3.4Ghz 16Gram for use as a work machine running Flash CS6. However any time I open any .fla (flash file) larger than 50m the application crashes to desktop. I have searched the adobe communities and it seems that Flash CS6 is listed as incompatible with Mountain Lion, however many people run it without issues.
My question is this: is Flash CS6 truly incompatible with the Mountain Lion os? if so is there a way to reinstall a previous version of os x that is compatible with flash (snow leopard, lion) while I wait for the compatibility issue to be fixed? Is there a current workaround for Flash CS6 on mountain lion that will allow me to manage large files?
I have attempted to run flash both with the most recent java 7 17 and java 6 43, I have tried it without the adobe flash update 2 and without, and I have adjusted the java heap space. none of these attempts has resulted in any improvement. I can open and create new files without any problem, but the inability to handle any file over ~50m severly limits my ability to work in OS X Mountain Lion and makes working on my current project impossible.
I appreciate any help anyone can give me or even just an answer to my question about compatibility as I was very excited to upgrade to the mac hardware for device testing and the xcode goodies integrated with CS6 and now I find myself stuck having to return to my old and less than ideal hardware spec (not to mention the cost of the new iMac that now cannot be used for my current project).
Thank you for your time.

Yep -- you're describing the EXACT issue that Adobe warns of on their incompatibility notice.

Guess it's a good thing that Flash is dying.......because even 10 months after a new OS release, Adobe has no word on fixes.

Problem with Adobe Flash Preferences on Linux

Using Mozilla Firefox as my default browser, when I open up the Adobe Flash Preferences App from the Linux menu, and check (Advanced)(Updates) and click on the (Check Now) button.
This action used to open up a new tab on Firefox, when it was already open, and go to the appropriate page at adobe.com to check my flash version.
When Firefox was not already open it would launch Firefox and go to the appropriate page at adobe.com and check my flash version.
Now, it launches a new instance of Firefox to a blank page.
This used to work, about 6-8 months ago, and is the cause of a lot of frustration now, since I have to go to adobe.com and do a search for the page that displays my version and then see if that version is the latest available.
Flash Version: 11.2.202.291
OS Version: Debian Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (32-bit)
Browser: Mozilla Firefox 23.0

It sounds as though you already downloaded and installed the plugin as described in this article: [[How do I watch Flash videos with Firefox for Android?]]
I look for a thread about the Note 4 and found confirmation that it "should" work here: [http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-4/450745-note-4-adobe-flashplayer.html Note 4 Adobe Flashplayer - Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com].
However, I don't have that device so you might try that forum if you can't get it working.

Choose different words at the same time

Hi,
I think it is a bit stupid question, but I can't choose different words or lines at the same time on Pages. I try to select them at the same time I press cmd but nothing, while in other programs I can do it.
Do you have any idea? Or is it a bug?

No release in 17 months of Pages v5 permits multiple select of words, or lines. Pages '09 v4.3 on the otherhand, does permit it.

OS X Lion USB Flash Driver WRITE PROTECTED?

If the original OS X Lion USB Flash Drive from the Apple Store read-only or can you describe them with newer versions of OS X?

Read only.
In case if you have to reinstall the OS you have to use Software Update to update the system.

Fireworks CS5 wont start up in lion (error in preferences folder)

Ok, after 10 days with out FW CS5 on my new Lion installment. I finally cracked some kind of bug where FW would freeze just after loading and the last text in the CS5 logo was tabs and then the processor would go up to around 81% and just freeze.
Apple and Adobe, both blame each other and none could give an answer, but to re-install everything, which i just had done. (Man the big dudes are lost sometimes!)
"My" problem turned, that I seemlessly had a corrupt file in my ~/Library/Preferences/
But i couldnt figure out which one it was.
I ran a Terminal plutil -s *.plist and no errors showed up.
The solution turned out to be:
Deleted the entire macromedia folder in the ~/Library/Preferences/ folder and now its working.
macromedia is the name of the old FW creators before Adobe took over.
So i am guessing there is some kind of error, but who can tell. I cant, adobe cant and apple cant.
Well hope this helps somebody!

Hi Folks!
Its because the macromedia folder is recreated each time flash is used somehow.
I made an Automator App that
1) Locates the ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia
2) Moves the Macromedia Folder to the Trash
3) Runs Adobe Fireworks CS 4
So all I need to do is click this Automator App instead of the Fireworks App in my Dock, and then I am sure it will start.
(I Know that this is not a 100% cool in the end fix, but seems like Adobe are ignoring this error after several of attempts of direct action to tell them.)
Here is how to build your own automator app that does these three steps for you.
My finder is in danish, but I translated it in red text for you. Guess its easy to figure out:
Remember!!! If you are running Adobe Fireworks CS5 then choose that in step 3 instead :-)

How can I open multiple instances of the same folder and web browser in different desktops in Lion?

I've selected "none" for association but it doesn't work. In other words, I have a Dropbox folder on my desktop. I'd like to be able to open that same folder using the same shortcut on different Lion desktops. However, whenever I try to use the same shortcut on a different desktop, it switches to the one where it's already open. Same problem with web browsers; if I try to just click on a web browser to create a new window, it will take me back to the other desktop.
I didn't have this problem before I had to replace my hard drive and update everything again. I am aware of the "restart Finder" option as well as associating programs with individual desktops. All of the things in question are currently selected as "none."
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I just set Safari's option to None. That is I right clicked on the dock, selected options, and chose none. Also, in Mission Control's tab of System Preferences I clicked Off When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for that application. That let me open a new Safari window no matter what desktop I was in. But I had to do both. Just setting the desktop option to none didn't seem to do it. Finder seems to work okay with just the none option set.
