Choppy Flash Playback on MacBook Pro 15"

Hi everyone!
We're having problems on two brand new MacBook Pros with Flash presentations. Basically, when you play a Flash movie on these devices the playback stutters, gets choppy (audio is almost unbearable), and is otherwise unusable at all. Has anyone else experienced this? The same presentations work fine on older G4 PowerBooks. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

I finally figured this out. It was the version our client embedded into the movie. Turns out it was all rolled into one. newer Flash player bundling worked fine!

How to solve the choppy audio playback in Macbook Pro 2011 ?

Hi All,
I bought used 2011 Macbook Pro 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 and ugrade its RAM to 16GB and OS to Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4. It had very choppy audio with the last version of the OS and 4 GB RAM as well. Now audios in each and every player/ browser is completely choppy.
Does Apple know about this issue ?
Is there a permanant solution for this problem ?
I don't want to loose my temptation for Macproducts bacause of these type of issue. Please help ...

The OSX will use as much RAM as it needs and is available for the given situation. 16 GB RAM will not be 'too much' in any circumstance.
Is spending $250 on a SSD worth it? Will it mean my RAM is more effective?
An SSD will allow for faster processing. Whether the costis worth for its benefits it is for you to decide. It will be able to swap data into the RAM faster but that does not make the RAM 'more effective'. As I said, the OSX governs RAM usage as required.
Or will my CPU still be hindering everything and I should just accept I wasted some money?
The CPU does not 'hinder' anything. It simply processes the data that is sent to it by the OSX within it specification limits. I am not certain that I understand your thinking here.
Basically: is it worth trying to upgrade & is it possible to get more out of my 16 GB RAM
That decision is yours based on what you feel you need and your bank account.
Ciao.

Flash Player on MacBook Pro

Hello: I tried to install Flash 8 Player on MacBook Pro and it did not work. Then, I realized because maybe it's not Universal, it won't work. Does anyone know if you can install the Flash Player on MacBook Pro? Thanks in advance for your advice.

The special version of the Flash plug-in supplied with Intel-Macs can be restored by extracting a fresh copy from the installer disc. You will need to download Pacifist (www.versiontracker.com) and use it to extract a fresh copy of the Flash plug-in from the file archive on the installer DVD.
Please read the following about other possible incompatibilities:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
Be sure to verify with developer or from information on download sites whether software is a universal binary. Many of the incompatible products currently in use will likely be updated in time.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers. These versions are not universal binaries and will not work on Intel-Macs. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the only current choice is USB Overdrive. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (does not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Choppy video on latest Macbook Pro Retina 13"

I tried to stream video from NAS device (attached to Router) and the video got pause time to time. My Macbook has latest OS X and Adobe Flash.
When I used Ipad2 with CineXPlayer through Twonky , and there was no issue at all.
Here what I have tried and check video on macbook pro :
- Run on different NAS device- still choppy video
- Use faster router AC, stream video from NAS-- still choppy video
- Use different app (instead of Quicktime), stream video from NAS- still choppy video
- Play video to Macbook on hard drive- stable video
- Stream video on USB plugged to router- stable video
From above tries, looks like it's pointing to Macbook has issue to play from NAS, even NAS can hande high data rate (1GByte/minute).
Any helps would be great appreciated.

Looks like a problem with the logicboard....specifically the integrated GPU (intel hd 4000).
Reset the SMC, see if it persists:

Run the Apple Hardware Test on it. This will test your RAM and logicboard.

IPhone headset no more able to control iTunes playback on MacBook Pro

After I have updated to Mac OS X 10.6.5 and iTunes 10.1 on the latest 13" MacBook Pro, it's not possible to control the iTunes via iPhone headset anymore. Only the volume keys work but the middle key (which can be used for play, pause, next, previous, fast forward) stopped working. I've been looking for any possible settings to activate that in iTunes but I can't see any. Can anyone else confirm that? And could you suggest a solution? I was really used to controlling iTunes playback the same way I am controlling it on the iPhone and I thought it was really cool that Apple has allowed such consistency and interoperability between products. I hope that's a bug and not a decision.

There is another thread about this problem:

Should i install adobe flash player on macbook pro with OSX

Just purchased my first macbook pro, I am thinking of installing Adobe Flash Player but wasnt sure if this is good idea or not. Any suggestions?

Sure - most of the content on YouTube - and much of the video content on the web - uses Flash technology.
Just make certain that you get it straight from Adobe -> http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/.
Happy computing!

Flash SDK and MacBook Pro with Retina display major issues

Hello,
Apple has recently released Macbook Pro's with Retina displays.
I have tested my Flash application on the new laptop, and this is what I observe:
My Flex SDK Flash application looks blurry and strange when I try to check it out from any Macbook Pro with Retina display, while looking sharp and OK from all other machines.
On this screenshot you can sort of see the issue:
http://i.imgur.com/UXHd4.png
(Expand the image to the actual size, and compare the Flex SDK components with browser labels. Browser labels look crisp, Flex SDK components look a little bit blurry.)
Please fix this issue.
Andrey

Sure. LR 4.3 even specifically adds Retina support...

How to download adobe flash player onto MacBook pro

Hi, can anyone tell me how to download adobe flash player onto my new MacBook Pro with retina display please?
I don't know what operating system it has?

If you've a new Retina display MacBook Pro, it probably shipped with Mavericks - you can confirm this by going to the Apple on the menu bar and selecting "About This Mac...." if it says system 10.9 or 10.9.1, you're on Mavericks.
To install Flash Player, you must first download it from Adobe -> http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/. After the download is complete, you should have a file with a .dmg extension in your Downloads folder. Double-click this file and it will 'mount' as if it is a disk. There will be a 'package' inside and you must double-click this to actually install Flash Player.
Once Flash Player is installed, restart your computer and then open your browser. You should now be able to view Flash content.
Good luck,
Clinton

Cannot download Flash CC on MacBook Pro Retina running Mavericks

I have a subscription to Creative Cloud; even though Photoshop CC can be downloaded and installed, Flash CC cannot.
It is not listed in creative cloud panel running on my machine, only Flash CS6 is available.
- I tried to login to Creative Cloud website using chrome and click on the download link for Flash CC, but it did not work.
- I had tried to uninstall Creative Cloud and run the Cloud Cleaner tool, but it did not help.
I'm running Maverick on a MacBook Pro with Retina display (intel Core i7). I have plenty of space on my disk, and as far as i can tell, the machine meets all Flash CC requirements.
This is also the same with illustrator.
Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you for your quick reply.
I did
uninstall all creative cloud apps,
uninstall creative cloud,
run cleaner tool
and then reinstall creative cloud.
When I open creative cloud panel, only Flash CS6 is on the list.
I have been doing this process for 5 times now, including today attempt.
I tried to go in adobe website and install it via the link
https://creative.adobe.com/products/flash
The link open Creative Cloud Panel and do nothing.
I have the same issue with illustrator CC.
It is strange that I do not have the same issue with Photoshop CC.
Any further assistance would be much appreciated.

ITunes library audio is choppy an intermittent from Macbook Pro

I've seen a few posts similar to this and just want to see if there's a workaround that I'm missing.
When trying to play music from my iTunes library via home sharing on my apple tv from my Macbook Pro, audio is intermittent, choppy and sometimes won't play at all. I recently upgraded to the MBP from an iMac, and because I had both machines, I had the benefit of a control when running my test to make sure it was the MBP and not something with apple tv or iTunes. As far as I can tell, it is the macbook pro. While having both the MBP and the iMac hooked up to the same modem, same router and same apple tv, utilizing the same iTunes library, the audio would play flawlessly as it always has from the iMac. However, when I'd try to play the same music from the MBP, I get the long spinning status wheel (a sign that the audio is not going to work well), and then the the choppy audio, which makes it unlistenable.
I've tried the tricks I've seen in other posts...turned off spotlight search in system preferences, tried turning off Bluetooth on both the MBP and on Apple TV. Nothing thus far has worked.
This seems to be something connected to Yosemite and the MBP. If anyone else has a suggestion, I'd love to read about it. As it stands, I now do not have a home audio system as iTunes > Apple TV was my home system (running out to a receiver). I cut cable a few months back and have thus spent much more time listening to music at home, so this is of course quite a let down as I can no longer listen to my music. It was great on the iMac as I had a reliable, stable connection to my iTunes library. Since connecting the MBP, I now cannot listen to music, aside from the less-than-stellar iTunes radio stations on the Apple TV.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I'm aware that Apple doesn't read these, that's why I included the phrases "...just want to see if there's a workaround that I'm missing" and "If anyone else has a suggestion, I'd love to read about it." I was hoping that perhaps another user has had similar issues and discovered something that I haven't that might alleviate this problem. I've submitted a few bug reports to Apple about this, under Yosemite, Macbook Pro, and Apple TV.
