CS5 on Mac won't test/publish AS 3 files

I'm running
Flash CS5, fully up to date.
Macbook pro with Mac OS X Lion (fully up to date)
the problem described below existed prior to installing Lion (10.6.8)
I can't publish a simple Actionscript 3 flash file. I was able to earlier. But once I updated my software, Nothing happens. A swf is created, but actionscript will not function.
For example, If I creata .fla file, for actionscript 3 set to publish with player 10 and the ONLY thing in the file is "trace("test");" nothing will happen. i just get a white swf file and nothing in the output window.
1. i've updated all software.
2. I've rebooted.
3. I've zapped PRAM and repaired permissions
4. I've uninstalled Adobe Master collection
5. I've reinstalled adobe master collection (that's when flash began to work again.)
6. I updated adobe master collection via "updates..." menu (this is when it stopped working.
I would be grateful for any ideas. In the meantime. I will be trying to uninstall the whole master collection (again). WHen I reinstall, I'll test flash again. If it works, I'll update everything else in the master collection EXCEPT flash... weeee...
Thanks for any suggestions.

sigh... my head hurts.
I've re-re-repaired permissions, restarted (flash), and did a quick test and it worked again... I've spent hours working on this.. sigh..
thanks for looking anyway.

My Mac won't install mpkg and pkg files.

My Mac won't install mpkg and pkg files. Whenever I double-click an pkg or mpkg file, I get the dialog box to "choose an application" to open it. After some searching, I discovered I do not have the installer.app. I tried to Repair Disk from my Snow Leopard DVD but every time it boots from the DVD, my computer crashes. Any suggestions?

You have the installer app. It is located in /System/Library/CoreServices.
Use the finder's Go menu, Go to Folder... and type /System/Library/CoreServices to open the CoreServices folder. You should see it in there. If you do not see it there then that would beg the question what else might be missing and perphas you need to do an update (re)install (or restore form a hopefully good backup).
To try to reassoicatate .[m]pkl's with the Installer, take one of your .[m]pkg's and do a finder Get Info on it and set the Open with... to the Installer app. If the Installer app is not shown use Other... at the bottom of the list to navigate to the CoreServices folder and select Installer. Then click the Change All... button.
I am not sure why your [.m]pkgs would have lost their Launch Services association with Installer in the first place (unless it really is missing).

.Mac not updating when publish modified iWed file

Hi, when I first published my iWeb file to .Mac, it worked. Then I edited the iWeb file and republished, waited a few days, and my .Mac site is still showing the old original iWeb file.
- I tried republishing several times (publish to .Mac and publish all to .Mac)
- I also refreshed the page a bunch of times in my browser
- I also emptied the browser cache
Any ideas?
thanks!

CS5.5, Mac projector .app not publishing

I built a Flash project in CS5.5.
When I pubish I get a .swf and a Windows .exe file but the Mac Projector .app file will not publish even though it's checked off in the Publishing menu.
I do not get an error message.
Is there a way to find Publishing errors with CS5.5. Or is there any other way to monitor the Publishing so I can see if there's a problem?
At one point during my development I ran into an bug(?) where an .addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE) wasn't working. This thread had a couple of solutions.
http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?370085-VideoEvent-COMPLETE-is-not-working-in-cs 5-5
I ended up changing my flash player version in the Publishing settings to Flash Player 10.0 & 10.1 to fix the problem.
I'm not sure if that is effecting the publishing of the .app
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Mac won't open Premiere Project CC files created from PC

Hi,
I am helping a friend edit a series of short videos. He is on a Mac with the latest OS using Premiere Pro CC. I am on a PC with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit also using Premiere Pro CC. I did the rough cut for the first video, copied the folder (all clips and Premiere project files) to a USB key and handed it to him. We thought that Premiere on the Mac would open, the project would link to the clips in the same folder and he could start the final cut. Instead, Premiere on the Mac says that the Premiere Pro files appear to be damanged and won't open.
We will test using Adobe Cloud next time we meet but it takes a while for the files/clips to upload and download so we're not sure that's going to be a good workaround.
Any suggestions on how my friend and I can work together, him on Mac, me on PC, sharing clips and Premiere project files? Any help would be appreciated as I need to continue with my portion of the work.
Many thanks,
France

Hi Jim,
If I copy the relevant files to, say, a thumb drive, will Premiere be able to relink all of the clips when everything is copied over to the Mac? What we'd like to do:
1. I download the clips from the camera to a folder on my PC
2. Import the clips into a Premiere project
3. Do the rough cut.
4. Save the project file and any additional files in the same directory as the clips.
5. Copy entire directory to thumb drive and give to my friend.
If he loads the folder onto his Mac (keeping the same directory structure), is Premiere going to relink the clips to the project? I thought that's what Project Manager assists with. Some of the discussion threads talked about using a "Relink" or "Link" command but I couldn't find it in Premiere CC's menus.
Thanks,
France

New mac won't allow me to add files to my old external hard drives.

Hi there,
I've been trying my hardest to figure out how to do this without having to delete all of my files and reformatting my external HD, but I haven't been able to find a solution. Maybe I'm not using the right keywords when I search for solutions?
Anyway...
I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro, and have since been unable to transfer any files (photos/video/documents) from this new Mac, to any external HD's (that worked fine on my previous Mac as well as other Macs).
However, I am able to drag files from the external HD to my mac, and transferring files to a small USB works without an issue.
How do I fix this, without deleting/wiping the external HD so I can transfer files onto it?
Thanks so much for any help!

My Mac won't read cyrillic in certain files and displays instead weird characters like this: "–í–µ-Ç–µ-Ä –ø-Ä–æ–¥–∏-Ä–∞–µ-Ç –¥–æ –∫–æ-Å-Ç–µ–π." Any ideas why this might be or how I can solve it?

Yesterday I extracted the subtitles of an MKV file to try and print them. Unfortunately, when I open the .srt file with any text processor, it displays weird characters like the ones included in the title:
"–û–±—ã–≤–∞—Ç–µ–ª–∏ –ø–µ—á–∞–ª—å–Ω—ã.
–í–µ—Ç–µ—Ä –ø—Ä–æ–¥–∏—Ä–∞–µ—Ç –¥–æ –∫–æ—Å—Ç–µ–π."
I thought this had to do with it being an .srt file, but just now I encountered the same problem with an Excel file.
Any ideas why this might be or suggestions as to how to solve it?
Thanks in advance,
Mario

It looks like an encoding problem. You should try opening the file in a text editor where you can choose one of the various possible cyrillic encodings (utf-8, koi8-r, iso-8859-5, win-1251, MacCyrillic)

My mac won't recognize my iphone backup file

Help -
Here goes -
1 - My Iphone crashed. Would not reboot. Took it to Apple store, they told me my only solution was to restore. The phone was in a crashed state for 4 days.
2 - I restored the phone, and began process of restoring from a backup listed on ITunes.
3 - Just as the process was getting started, My phone started beeping, it was receiving messages - (Since it was crashed for three days, and just restored, all the texts and notifications which were sent during that time began arriving on my phone.) - I realized instantly that if I proceeded with the restore, I would lose all the new data and texts which had just come in, so I halted the restore process.
4 - After reading the texts, I began the restore process again, BUT THE FILE DATE I NEED IS NOT SHOWING UP IN MY ITUNES ANYMORE -
5 - I went to the back up file folder, and it is still there... HOWEVER it is NOW dated today, at the time I started the back up - and the files say they are all modified on the same day and time.
So my questions are -
A - is there any thing I can do to figure out why ITunes is NOT reading the file any more -
B - Is there a way to manually get the files I need out of the back up and restore them to the phone.
Help me Obie Wan Kenobie.... You are my only hope-
Thanks, Will

.exe projector file for PC works fine, but extracted .hqx for Mac won't open when on CD

I'm using Flash MX, AS 2, Projector 6, working on a PC.
I saved two versions of my project -- one .exe for Windows and one .hqx for Mac. The .exe works fine when burned onto a CD. When opening the .hqx from a CD on a Mac, I got a message that the file is on a locked volume. I discovered that the reason for this is that an .hqx is essentially a zipped file which has to be extracted, and when a file is extracted, the unzipped files are written onto the same location as the original. When the original files are on a CD, Stuffit (Mac's zip extractor program) can't write onto that location.
[So if anyone at Adobe looks at these forum posts, let me say that I think its absolutely ridiculous that the Mac version of Flash's projector files have to be extracted in order to be viewed!]
To get around this problem, I saved the .hqx on my PC, put it on a portable hard drive and brought it over to a Mac (because Stuffit for PC converts it into an .exe for PC), and unzipped it. When I'd test it on the portable hard drive or on a USB drive, the extracted file would work. When I'd bring it back over to the PC and burn a CD with both versions on it, and then test that CD on the Mac, it wouldn't work. Can anyone tell me why the extracted Mac version works on a hard drive, but not on a CD? What do I have to do in order to make a Mac projector file work from a CD?

Windows uses the FAT file system, Macs use the HFS file system. The two are not compatible. If you save a Mac projector file on a FAT file system, it won't be saved properly and it won't work. When you create a Mac projector from a Windows version of Flash, the file will be saved as a compressed .hqx file.
Since you need to use a Mac to create a hybrid CD, when you move that .hqx file to the Mac, unstuff it and then use the resulting file for the CD. It will then run from the CD as expected.

Mac won't go past the white screen and apple logo

My one year old mac won't turn on, it comes up with the white screen with the apple logo, after a few seconds a loading bar comes up and after it finishes loading the mac just turns off. When I turn it back on it just does the same thing. I tried resetting the pram (it even chimed twice) but it still did the same thing. The problem began with the power cord being accidentally unplugged, when I plugged it in and turned on the mac the grey screen came up asking for my password, it then began to load but after about 5 seconds went back to the grey screen. I tried logging in over ten times and after failing turned off the mac, now it's doing the loading thing...
Oh and I don't know if this is relevant but I had a mountain lion update that needed to be done?

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
How to back up and restore your files
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode.* The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Post for further instructions.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is damaged and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Boot into Recovery again. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
Step 7
Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a backup.
Step 8
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

CS5 AS2 mac projector screen flicker–no flicker from CS3 projector

I've been working on a flash project for a while using a G5 PowerPC, 10.4.11, Flash CS3 using AS2 and publishing a mac projector/Windows exe. Mac projector has always worked fine. So has the exe. I just upgraded to an iMac, Snow Leopard 10.6.8, AMD card and Flash CS 5.5 v11.5.0.325.
I'm using the same CS3 AS2 flash file from the old G5 CS3 setup on my new Snow Leopard Mac CS 5.5 setup. When I publish it, the mac projector flickers like crazy. It looks to be an animated png issue. But I have never had that problem on my old slow G5 - the projector always played perfect, no flicker.
On this CS5.5 generated projector, the flickering occurs on the splash - large png files, but my G3 never had one issue. Also, my small png rollovers flicker - not just the animation. And the screen flickers non stop when there's no mouse activity.
I copied over a backup of my CS3 generated projector onto my new computer and played it to see if it was a graphics card issue. No flicker! The CS3 projector plays perfect on my new Mac. All content within the two projectors are identical - What gives?
Why is CS5.5 generated projector flickering, but the exact same file from a CS3 generated projector works perfect on BOTH computers?
I've spent several hours searching for the answer but can't find a flicker issue similar to mine.
I don't have bitmap caching enabled. I didn't change any of the default settings in CS5.5. I just copied the CS3 file to my new computer and published it, then I got instant screen flicker. I don't know what other settings to change for projectors. Never had performance issues with projectors or exe files, no matter how old the computer was that was playing the file.
This must be a Flash setting issue, but I can't find it.
By the way, the cs5.5 genertated exe file plays like a champ - no issues.
Ideas?

I also tried publishing the projector in flash player 9 and 10 to see if that would make a difference. It did not. I was publishing in flash player 8 on my old G5 computer and that's what I published it as through CS5.5 as well. That didn't work either. I'm search for some sort of fs command AS2 issue when using CS5.5 to see if I need to change the code, but have not found anything yet.
It's the full screen mode that is causing the flicker though - only when published from CS5.5. Full screen mode works out of a CS3 projector on both computers.
Screwy.

Mac won't sleep - Reason?

I am trying to figure out why my mac won't sleep.
I have run this command in the teminal (pmset -g assertions) and this is what I get back. If anyone can let me know what the problem is I would appreciate it. I have disconnected everything from the machine such as firewire, usb cables etc. But the computer will not sleep on its own. It does when I initiate it but not by the automatic function in energy saver pref pane.
Thx

If it is'nt the card, this may help;
If your Mac happily goes to sleep but won't wake up--Hold down the power switch to force-reboot your machine and get it running again.
Don't worry-your Mac isn't narcoleptic. Its Open Firmware system or NVRAM (nonvolatile RAM) is likely corrupt, and your Mac can't remember how to wake up.
Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Command-Option-O-F key combo until you see a somewhat intimidating command-line display that ends with the Open Fimware prompt. Type the following lines:
reset-nvram
press Return on keyboard
set-defaults
press Return
reset-all
press Return
Your Mac will reboot. Once it's running, put it back to sleep to test. If the problem recurs your Energy Saver preferences may be the culprit. Delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file (go to Finder/Hard drive/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration)--don't worry, your Mac will regenerate a new one--and then restart to see if that rights the wrong.
Still did'nt work? Might be time to call AppleCare or see an Apple Genius or a technician.
Cheers!

I am using Microsoft office 2011 for mac, publisher is not included, meanwhile I have publisher files saved from windows, is there any recommended software I can install on the mac so that I can open the files?

How can I be able to use my Windows publisher files on my Mac computer, since Microsoft office 2011 for Mac doesn't have Publisher? What's most recommended software to use for this purpose?

Just an FYI here Allan, and clinton.
Version 4.0 or newer of Libre Office can open and edit Publisher files, this is fairly new, you may not have noticed it yet,
I tested it last week for another OP, it works very well, so finally there is a Mac application that can replace Publisher.
Here's a link to the post.

Mac won't boot, stuck on grey screen if the external hdd plugged in

as the title.
if i plug my external drive, via usb port, the mac won't boot and stuck at grey screen.
unplugging it, the boot process will continue.
the hdd is a LaCie mobile hdd
any help?

Hello jason(?)
It's a LaCie external mobiel hdd, formatted as exFAT. without adapter. take power directly from usb port.
i tested it on my iMac and it works fine. boot up as normal. the only difference is my iMac is on 10.6.8 and my Air is on 10.7.2
I tested on both USB port on my Air and the problem still persist.
the read/write speed is normal (bought it like a day ago).
another thing is I don't have this problem with my external WD drive.
One thing to notice is that, I accidentally left like for like 2-3 mins and it boots. So why the question now is why it's taking so long to boot? normally it just takes <20 seconds. Seems like it tried to boot from the external hdd, doesn't it?
