Confused after 10.1 install

On my intel mac, I have the Flash Player 9 app that came with Adobe Master Collection. I was expecting the Flash Player 10 upgrade to replace that app with a new one. I searched and found that one of the Flash Player plug-ins is 10.1 Everything seems to work fine but I'm confused regarding what the upgrade really did. Is it just adding a new plug-in? Should I do something to the Flash Player 9 files, apps and plug-ins? I've been told that having up to date Flash Players is the best way to insure against virus attacks on Macs. If this is true, I want to be sure I've got the latest version installed properly. Many thanks.

Hi, I am not very familiar with exactly where the Flash files are located in the Mac so am unable to have you check. Since Flash Player is a browser plug-in, meaning that it Installs a plug-in into the browser that works with the Flash files that are Installed. You have the 10.1 plug-in, so you should have the 10.1 Flash files also, not the version 9 files. Even tho Flash Player is a "plug-in" that term can mean the Flash files themselves or the SWF (Shockwave Flash) Control that is Installed into the browser. It's confusing since Flash Player, which includes the files plus the browser add on is referred to as the Flash Player plug-in. Actually Flash Player consists of the Flash files which are Installed in a location, separate from the SWF Control add on that is Installed into the browser.
I hope I haven't confused you in trying to explain the way the terms are used, which is I think is confusing.
When Flash Player has an Update released, the Adobe Uninstaller is used to remove the old version before the current update files are Installed.
Did you use the Adobe Uninstaller before Installing the 10.1? This is the link:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html I'm not suggesting to do this at the moment, just read it over. You will see the various instructions for Mac there.
Also you can test your version here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
Perhaps someone that uses Mac will come by that can be more helpful.
Thanks,

Confused after Leopard CLEAN install...

So I made a disk image of my Tiger HD and migrated my apps and such to my clean install of Leopard using Migration Assistant. I opened iWeb (v2.0.2) to update my blog only to find out nothing is there. It shows at the bottom my site name (to my personal domain) but nothing else. The option for "Revert to saved" is my best guess, but it is "greyed" out and I am unable to select it. Im not really sure what to do to get all my info back from my iDisk. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Running into the same issue...what did you do to resolve it? I did the clean install, cloned my Tiger OS, backed up my iLife settings, thought I restored them, but still nothing.
Thanks!

Confused after re-install of OS... Base software not th

After I re-installed windows due to some issues I was having, I've not been able to get my sound card right. I don't need a PC if my sound card ain't right. LOL
After install of the drivers and everything else I can find to install, I don't have any of my original tools. Like smart recorder, wave editor, surround sound mixer, THX setup.
Now should those have been part of the drivers or should I have those on a CD? I've got all my CD's except the driver CD. LOL I never even installed the games, some of them look pretty nice too.
Now hopefully they are included the drivers. If so I need to re-install Windows XP Pro again. I'm pretty sure the later versions of spyware doctor screw up my pc. Not it alone, NOD32 and Spyware doctor are not getting along, I THINK.
When I re-installed, I did all my updates and then I installed NOD32 and Spyware Doctor (not their virus edition) and I started noticing problems pretty fast. My Logetch Orbit is greyscale, not black and wight, grey scale. I tried to play an online game Second Life and it wont run, complaining about my vid card not having at least 32Mb of mem. It's got 64 but it is an older card. GeForce3.
I've upgraded to the latest version of Acti'veX just to make sure that wasn't it.
I deleted the sound card and re-installed. Again no go.
Am I just missing the software I should be installing or should those drivers have installed the other basics like surround sound mixer. I can't function without that. My life is over. LOL I do a little amateur "DJing" so I do need my sound card.
Oh it is an Audigy 4Pro. Windows XP is legal. (SP2). Intel 2.0Ghz, I don't remember the chipset off hand but I doubt I need that. If I screwed up any where it was installing both of those programs Spyware Doctor was a nice program but for me, it seems to be causing problems now. I'll just leave NOD32 off the next re-install.
It hasn't been that long since I installed and I'm all nice and backed up so it wont be a big issue for me to do that. I just don't want it to be a waste of my time if I'm just missing the install software. I'm old, I need new RAM.
Can't think of anything else but I'm sure I left something out.
Thanks for the help.

Maybe I made that too wordy...
After installing the drivings, should the normal windows icon for sound card properties be gone and replaced with sound blaster icon and the surround sound mixer should be present?
If not, where I can I get core programs.

Can I delete unzipped font files after Font Book install?

Can I delete the unzipped font files for one particular font after it's installed with Font Book? I will offload the zipped file for maybe future installation on another computer but I am confused whether I need to keep the unzipped font files on my Mac after they were installed via Font Book.

Yes

Itunes wont open after trying to install 11.1.4??

iTunes will not open after trying to install 11.1.4 version ??

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

After trying to install update on MacAir error message and then message saying panic (cpu caller 0xffffff800a859241): "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI\".... I'm worried as all of my work is on my computer and I'm afraid I will lose it all.

I am totally worried I am going ot lose all my data after trying to install update on MacAir. Cannot do anything error message saying panic ....."Unablet o find driver for this platform."

Hi Guys
No good news I'm afraid. I have been through ALL the system caches and files that were updated at the time of said issue. Reset - rebuild and even gone back to my TimeMachine copy from earlier this AM. Nothing! Can only assume it is something deeper in the /usr or var or private folders.....
I have cloned the system and core files (/usr, /private) etc etc to an external HD and it still recreates the fault. I am afraid to say I have no more time at the minute to look at so have put my machine back to 2 hours prior via my TimeCapsule.
I the absense of anyone else or, indeed, Apple fixing in the next 12 hours, will get back onto it from the cloned copy I have kept and see if I can find the offending file/files...
Sorry I don't have an immedaite solution.

After a clean install, how can I continue using Time Machine?

After a clean install, how can I continue using Time Machine?
I booted from my recovery partition, erased my HD, installed the same OS, (Lion, 10.7.5) then restored from my TM.
If it asks if i want to use TM, I say yes. When I chose the drive, it seems to want to start all over, instead of just picking up where I left off.
Is there any way of picking up where I left off?

Hi Frank,
You are sure you looking in your Library in /Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library and not /Library at the top level of your harddrive?
When you open iCal what do you see? Are the calendars the two default Home and Work ones?
I really appreciate the responses -- especially if you are in the UK as opposed to Ontario.
Why, do you have something against London Ontario?

How can i gain access to my data on a Time Capsule after a fresh install of Mavericks? I can't access any backups through Time Machine... They appear purple/transparent, and I can't even select them to view their contents. PLEASE HELP!!!

So, I've got several thousand photos, and a decent amount of videos of my daughter, along with a lot of stuff for work stored on my Time Capsule, and now I can't access any of it. I did a fresh install of Mavericks on my MacBook Pro last week sometime, and haven't been able to figure out how to get my files back. Please Help!!! My daughter is 2 and a half, and every picture/video I have of her is locked on this thing. I was planning on making some photo/video projects fo my wife for Christmas, and now I'm definitely not going to be able to pull it off. Her birthday is at the end of January, though, so if I could have it by then, that would rule!
Basically, the bar on the right of the screen has some gray dates, which I can access (all backups after the Mavericks install), and purple dates that go all the way back to March (when I originally purchased and began using the TC) which deny me access/viewing. It's possible that I created a slightly different user name when I reset my MacBook, which I guess is most likely the cause, but I have no idea what to do now to correct it. Thanks for taking the time!

Mavericks does really nasty stuff..
Try manually mounting the sparsebundle and extract the files you want.
Yet another Pondini reference. http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
We have avoided Mavericks you see knowing that it would cause these kinds of issues..
You never ever load a new OS without doing a disk image beforehand.. TM is not reliable enough or trustworthy to be depended on.
If none of the above work..
I would get a USB drive on the computer and install Mountain Lion or whatever OS you had before you unfortunately upgraded to Mavericks.. Then use TM from that decent installation but mount the sparsebundle and choose the backup from a date well before mavericks was installed.
Once you have extracted the files.. or even done a full restore you might be able to extract the files you want.

Issues solved after a second install of Belle

Hi.
I have been advised to reinstall Belle on my Nokia E7.
I've been told that after a second install of Belle most issues are gone.
Do you know what specific issues are solved after that reinstall?
I'm curious because I want to know if it is worthy to reinstall Belle.
Greetings from Paraguay.
Claudio Bogado Pompa.
Greetings from Paraguay.
Claudio Bogado Pompa.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Claudio,
I upgraded from Anna to Belle on the first day that Belle was available. Yesterday I re-installed Belle.
Since updating my E7 from Anna to Belle I have had mixed opinions as to whether that was wise to do.
Though Belle has a lot to like about it in features and speed, there are many things that were really good in Anna but have been degraded or are even missing in Belle. See this list which many people have contributed to:
/t5/Software-Updates/List-of-Belle-additions-corrections-needed/td-p/1328167/page/3
I have customized the home screens (use three) quite a bit and have added a number of free apps for more convenience in use of the phone.
Before I tell you my experiences and give you my reasoning I should give some background about myself and my Nokia E7-00. Note that though I am very competent with computer hardware and software I have much less knowledge and skill with cell phones.
My E7-00 is my second Nokia phone experience. I also bought an E6-00 for my wife. I got the E7 for myself because I need the large keyboard for my large fingers and I like the GPS/maps capability. I got the E6 for my wife because she was unhappy with the touch screen on her Nokia 5230 and is more comfortable with a keyboard.
I have owned my E7 for less than a year, use it primarily for my small business, and upgraded to Anna immediately after purchasing it. Though I tested using a data connection for WEB browsing for a couple of months I don't subscribe to a data service now because I found little use for it and it is (in my opinion) very expensive here in Canada. I do connect my E7 to the Internet often using WIFI through my home or business routers, and occasionally through WIFI connections at hotels and other locations when I travel.
Since upgrading to Belle I have had many occasions when my phone would freeze either momentarily or permanently (necessitating powering it off) and a few times it has completely shut off for no reason. I have had a number of occasions when I have been unable to answer an incoming call because the touch screen was unresponsive.
In trying to determine the cause of the problems with the phone I have removed apps and done soft resets of the phone.
I thought about re-installing Belle but was loath to do it because of the bad experience I had when I first upgraded from Anna to Belle. At that time I did a backup of my phone using the latest version of Nokia Suite. The download and install of the Belle update went very smoothly. But once the phone was functional again I found that I lost many things including all my customizations, my WIFI settings, and all the many map favorites (GPS coordinates) I had collected when traveling and calling on customers. The backup that the Belle installation software performed did not restore these things, and the same was true of the backup I did with Nokia Suite.
Yesterday my frustration level with the phone was such that I decided I had to try a re-install of Belle. I did another backup up the phone with Nokia Suite and synced the map favorites with Nokia's on-line service. But I also had the inspiration to download the latest version of Nokia PC Suite and do a backup with that too - a good thing I did!
I used Nokia Suite to re-install Belle. After the reinstall I again had lost all my customization, some installed apps, and all map favorites. I tried to restore things by using the backup I had done with Nokia Suite, but that did not work.
Then I restored the backup I made with Nokia PC Suite and EVERYTHING was back. I could hardly believe my good fortune. Even my map favorites were back.
Since it is little more than 24 hours since my re-install of Belle I cannot say whether it was really worth the effort. But so far the phone does seem to be behaving itself. It is a little smoother in operation with less delay and I have not had any freezing. On the other hand it has been a quiet day and the phone has not had a good workout. Still, I am hopeful.
This most recent experience makes me wonder if Nokia is making improvements in Belle without giving notification. I am wondering if the version of Belle that was used for the re-install is different from the original version I installed about a month ago.
I will not upgrade my wife's E6 to Belle until I know that the problems with Belle have been fixed.
I hope you find this information useful.

After trying to install 6500 Wireless all-in-one on my 3rd comp, it ceased to work

While trying to install my (less than 2 year old) HP6500 Wireless all-in-one software on my 3rd networked computer, the software installation went into a loop and would not complete the installation. After about an hour or so of waiting, I physically had to unplug the printer & eject the CD. Upon doing so, the printer became next to useless. The printer key pad no longer functions except when I first plug it in, and I can no longer access it from the other 2 original computers, even with USB. The HP solution center says it’s on line, until I go to print via USB, then it says it’s offline. I can hook the USB up on the Widows 7 unit and force it to print Word Office documents, but when I try to print documents on it from either Internet Explorer or Fire Fox it wants to send a Fax??? I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software 3 times on my Windows 7 unit now to no avail. Is it my printer, the printer Firmware or what? I have downloaded and run all the HP & Microsoft troubleshooting tools on the Windows 7 unit to no avail. However; HP downloads will not successfully complete on my XP unit. What should I do? Should I start over with a new wireless printer?
Totally Confuzed

Ref: 02-23-2012 08:53 AM
12:38 AM 2/24/2012 UPDATE ON WHAT I HAVE TRIED AGAIN:
1. Power Reset on the Printer: Power off the printer. Unplug the power cable from the back of the unit. Wait 60 seconds. Replug the power cable to the printer and power it on. DONE
2. Print a test page: Follow this document to print the test page. PRINTER SCREEN SAYS IT'S PRINTING AND THE POWER LIGHT IS FLASHING LIKE IT'S BUSY, BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING. ONLY WAY TO USE IT NOW IS TO UNPLUG IT AND START OVER. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME NOW. IT WILL NOT PRINT TEST REPORTS.
3. Create a copy of the printed test page. CANNOT DO NOW - (PRINTER FREEZES UP WITH A BLINKING POWER LIGHT)
4. Print the Wireless Network Test Report (To check if there are any errors) CANNOT DO
Press the Setup button ( ). DOESN'T WORK EXCEPT MOMENTARILY...NOT LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE A SELECTION BEFORE IT HANGS AND FREEZES UP...
Press the Right Arrow button ( ) to select Network Setup, and then press the OK button. CAN'T GET IT TO DO ANYTHING PRESSING THE OK BUTTON.
Press the Right Arrow button ( ) to select Wireless Network Test , and then press the OK button. The Wireless Network Test Report prints. CAN'T GET IT TO DO ANYTHING PRESSING THE OK BUTTON.
If you did not encounter any errors while performing the steps above then I think the hardware is OK. Test the software next. Let's use Windows 7 as the test platform. I DON'T THINK THE HARDWARE IS OK.
1. Download the driver from HP.com. Once it gives you the option to either Run or Save make sure to select Save and then select Desktop as the target location where it will save the file. This is just to make it easier to find it. Once it finishes downloading the file, double click it to initiate the installation process. Follow the on screen instructions until you reach the "select how you want to connect the printer" window comes up. I ALREADY HAVE 3 COPIES ON MY DESKTOP & NONE OF THEM REACT ANY DIFFERENTLY.
2. At the "select how you want to connect the printer" window select USB and then click Next (I think there is a next button). It should asks you to connect your printer but we are NOT going to do that. Place a checkmark on the option on the bottom of the window that gives you the option to bypass the connection phase of the installation. Click Next to proceed. Once the the installation process completes, restart your computer. I HAVE DONE IT BOTH WAYS BEFORE AND CANNOT GET THE INSTALLATION TO COMPLETE ON ANY OF THE 3 COMPUTERS NOW.
If you did not encounter any errors at this point then it looks like the software installation process is good. Proceed to the next test. END OF TEST FOR TONIGHT. THANKS
1. After the computer completely boots up, connect the USB cable to the printer and to the computer. The computer should detect the printer and initiate the HP installation process for it. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the install.
2. Try printing to test functionality.

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

Keith,
I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard on both of my computers.
Some time ago, one crashed my computer and I had to reinstall the operating system and all applications.
After I had installed once Acrobat 9 Sdt in the computer, I wanted to update the software version 9.0.0 update to the same level as it was before the crash and that the other computer has version named 9.5.5.
The system for update from version 9.0.0 does not work at all. "There are no updates" listed in the dialog.
Can you advise how I get my Adobo Acrobat 9 Standard (Version 9.0.0) could be updated to the same level as the computer had before the crash.

HT3917 My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed

My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed.

Do you get a steady green light to say there is a connection. If not, are the batteries the right way round. Do you have a monitor to tell the batteries strength. Is there a reading. Are the batteries good quality ones, Duracell, Energiser or Apple rechargeables.

Thunderbolt is not working after Mountain Lion installed

I'm putting this discussion again because the problem didn't solve like I thought !
As you can see from the title that I have a problem already after I installed the new OS X Mountain Lion. I got my thunderbolt to Hdmi adabtor connected to an LCD TV and it was working great with snow lepord. But after the I installed Mountain Lion. it won't even recognize that there is something connected and I don't see the options in my System Prefrences> Diplays like before.
I already run software update and it's all up to date and also done a PRAM reset and nothing changed.
It only ok for a couple of min. if I restarted it and without the sound working from the LCD TV.
Please I need help here.

Well I would have hit repair. This might be stemming from a deeper issue with the installation. I've never seen that dialogue box before, and if ignoring it and booting normally worked for you then I say you did the right thing.
however
I would, go to disk utility and then select your boot drive and verify and repair disks and permissions.
if anything else WEIRD should occur, you may want to go to the recovery partition of ML (cmd+R while hearing the boot chime) and reinstalling ML. That dialogue box you mentioned is strange and should be noted. A reinstall will probably fix whatever issue comes up.
