Flash 8 in Leopard

I'm about to upgrade to Leopard from Tiger and I was wondering if anyone knows if *Macromedia Flash 8* runs well (if at all) in Leopard?
If so, what type of Mac do you have: Intel or PowerPC?

If anyone wants to be the first person on the Internet to prove whether Flash 8 works on Leopard, I have found two links to demo versions through Google:
http://www.borough.kenai.ak.us/gisdept/MacromediaStudio_8_Mac_OSX/Flash8-en.dmg
http://dragonworldz.free.fr/Flash_8.dmg
If you could test one of these out on your Leopard Mac (even just a simple 'Save' and 'Open') and report back, I would greatly appreciate it.

Flash on Leopard, Macbook Pro

Hi!
I've had a significant problem with Safari lately.
Leopard running 10.5.5, latest Flash Player, Macbook Pro 2.33 ghz, 17".
On several flash sites, epecially those that require a lot processing power like fullscreen pages, after 5 minutes Safari literately DIES. Beleive me. It hangs so awfully, that my Dock reacts with 1 frame per 10 seconds, my fans go berserk, and need to wait several minutes until i am able to Force Quit my Safari.
The same pages run smoothly and nicely under Opera. No hangs, nice framerate with demanding video-driven flash sites.
Safari just seems to choke with flash. What to do?
I recently AppZapped Safari, and reinstalled it from OSX DVD, updated , done Disk Permissions, but no success at all.
Help?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: May be useful - I use and backup regularly my Mac via Time Capsule 1 TB.

Yes, I have the exact same issue. Simple videos of sites like youtube are ok, other flash stuff like navigation or banners function properly, but as soon as I views something a bit more demanding, Safari starts acting like a dying turtle... Force quitting is the only option. With the same flash version, firefox has no troubles at all...
I also use Version 3.1.2 (5525.20.1), with the lates flash player (Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.12.36). I cleaned out all my unused plugins, done Permissions as well, but nothing seems to help.
Please let someone have a solution...

Encore CS3 hangs on "Come for Blue-ray stay for Flash"! Leopard 10.5.2...

I just got my new MacPro running Leopard. Installed CS3 Master Collection. I opened Premiere ok, Photoshop, etc...but when I tried Encore it just hangs on the part that says "Come for Blue-ray stay for Flash"!
I tried to make a dvd out of premiere going to encore it just had the beach ball spinning.
Thanks in advance anyone who can help.
rb.
ps:not sure if this cause an issue but I installed an LG GGW-H20L blue-ray burner(it showed up fine in system profilier as sata device in the 2nd-lower open drive bay...)

An update.
Encore would not launch with the LG GGW-H20L installed in my brand new MacPro. Once I unplugged it it launched Encore CS3. So I do not recommend this blue-ray burner in OSX Leopard.
I'm wondering if the Pioneer BDR-202 would work with MacPro, Leopard 10.5.2, Encore 3.0.2 update.
If anyone has any info please share!

Flash in Safari on Snow Leopard is awfully slow

I've seen threads on this before but no one seem to offer neither any solution (I don't find disabling flash to be a solution).
Flash on Leopard was running fine - more than fine, I don't think I ever had any single issue with it. After migrating to SL any flash bigger than a regular sized ad makes it seem that I have intel 286 inside my laptop. FPS rate is definitely low - video on hulu in their pop-up window stretched to half of the screen are all choppy. I think that even first generation MB Air was doing a better job. Even sites like mini.com don't run smooth anymore.
I understand that this has to do with FlashPlayer plugin for Safari (btw, mine is the latest 10.0.32). Why wasn't this happening in 10.5? Is it because Safari is running in 64-bit mode?
I think blaming Adobe in this case like some threads resort to is not really a good answer. The way I see it - it's Apple's responsibility to delivery their customers the best experience with their products and that includes Safari.
I hope Apple can push Adobe to fix the issue or do whatever needs to be done to resolve it. And I hope it does it soon.

HI,
*"I understand that this has to do with FlashPlayer plugin for Safari (btw, mine is the latest 10.0.32). Why wasn't this happening in 10.5? Is it because Safari is running in 64-bit mode? "*
Run Safari in 32-bit mode.
Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click Get Info.
In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle where you see: General
Select: Open in 32-bit mode and close the Get Info window and restart your Mac.
Sometimes uninstalling and reinstalling a *fresh copy* of the Flash player plugin helps.

As with any software installation, repair disk permissions...
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

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.

Screen flash

I have A&I upgraded from 10.4.11 to Leopard, then taken all updates. Apart from dock icons (the ones on the right of the divide, which are awful), actually I'm impressed with those of the 300 improvements that I have found thus far. Time Machine seems a tad overkill, though, I use Phew!
My question is this:
in Tiger, I had screen flash enabled and once incoming mail had finished downloading and/or there was none on the server, the screen flashed.
in Leopard, there is no screen flash. I have trashed the com.apple.universalaccess.plist and re-started, and ensured the mail sounds and other actions is enabled in Mail prefs.
Any other suggestions, please?

I turned the visual bell on yesterday and it's been working reliably. Whatever bug you've run into, I can't easily pin it down unfortunately. If you're having other weird things happen as you seem to be, I really would suggest you back up the data and do a clean install of Leopard - not an upgrade or archive & install, but a clean install. That's what I eventually had to do after the upgrade left enough cruft around to do weird things similar to what you describe.
I hate the new icons too - they're not at ALL visually distinct for those of us who can't see clearly. The icon tuning for Stacks and such there are workarounds for that you can find on MacOSHints if you're interested (I can look them up if you can't find them). But yes, I'm not a huge fan of the visual stuff... but we can't have everything!
Also, I found a great way to test the visual bell while I was fiddling for you... In /Applications/AppleScript open the Script Editor. Type beep in the blank window - just the word. Then click on the "run" icon. It'll generate a system beep that you know is the type that should produce a screen flash - good for testing.
Good luck!

Clean install on MBA and wireless doesn't find any network..

Hi,
Helping a friend fix her MBA.
System would not get to the desktop at start up. spinning wheel.
From a bootable flash, Lion drive, repartition the HD and installed. No errors, no problems.
Made sure the bootable drive was done correctly and redid it.
after a few tries of find a network, including mine. and no luck. deleted WiFI connection from the network settings and re-added it and nothing.
Made a bootable flash Snow Leopard drive to downgrade. Again deleted/recreated the partition first and than installed and this time the system wont start from the flash drive. I recreated the bootable flash 3 times and nothing.
Am I missing something ? why does it start installation from a Lion flash drive and ot a Snow Leopard flash drive ? and to add to it.. I used the same flash drive.. only had one at the moment and could fit both SL and L at one time.. so I had to recreat it them a few times... LOL. annoying.
Any ideas ?
Thanks.

Yeah I think the printer's radio has died. It is not user-serviceable and I have no idea how you would get parts.
To verify the radio status, on the front of the printer go to Setup > Network > WIreless Network Test Report. This report will self-test the radio.
While maybe not ideal, another option is to plug the printer into your router using an Ethernet cable. It will function the same as it did on wireless and even wirelessly-connected computers will be able to print to and scan from it.

Can I purchase Mountain Lion and make a flash drive bootable? I do not want to install it on my Macbook Pro. I have Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro now, and due to my hard drive needing repair I need to boot off of another source, like my flash drive.

Can I purchase Mountain Lion and make a flash drive bootable? I do not want to install it on my Macbook Pro. I have Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro now, and due to my hard drive needing repair, I need to boot off of another source, like my flash drive. I am in Paris and my Snow Leopard DVD is in Texas.

Mac OS X has a built-in disk diagnostic and repair program called fsck or file system consistency check. Here’s how to verify and repair your startup disk with fsck. As soon as you hear the startup tone, press and hold Command-S on the keyboard. Keep holding down those keys until you see a black screen with white lettering. This is called “booting into Single User Mode.” As the Mac boots in this mode, the screen reports each step of the process. The line should end in root#. Right after the root# prompt, enter the following: /sbin/fsck -fy
If repairing the disk in single user mode fails, it means one of two things. Either your hard drive itself is failing (a hardware failure), or the directory damage on your hard drive is beyond the capability of the built-in repair procedures in OS X.

Late 2008 mbp - installed new ssd - trying to boot from snow leopard iso on flash drive - says 'cannot install mac os on this computer'

Hello -
I just installed a new M500 Crucial ssd in my late 2008 mbp - everything was working fine on old hard drive (running snow leopard) but was getting slow and wanted to upgrade - i lost my snow leopard disk when moving from hawaii so i found an iso online - using a flash drive i partitioned the disk and made the bootable image on flash drive - formatted as extended/journaled - switched out the hard drives - plugged in the flash drive - started the comp - held option - install begins to boot - choose language - all is fine - choose english - next step window pops up saying 'cannot install os on this computer' - click on utility but all options are greyed out - disk util is greyed out - only options it gives is to start from backup or restart - real confused here - all help appreciated - thanks in advance and happy new year!

Snow Leopard comes in discs only. The USB drive may be a counterfeit and/or corrupt. There are two options for you:
Get replacement original OSX installation disks from Apple customer service. Have your MBP serial number ready and there is a charge.
Or two, purchase a Snow Leopard disk from the Apple online store:

I have an iMac G5 (20 inch screen) i sight (no intel chip).Leopard OS 10.5.8. Recently I went on Facebook and tried to open a movie site someone had sent me on Facebook andwhen I tried to open the video on Facebook, I was told I had to upgrade my Adobe Flash Player. i tried to do this, but turns out that Facebook is requiring folks to have an intel chip in order to view movies...this is outrageous! Just think of all the folks in the world who have great running pre intel chip Apple computers. I called the Adobe Help line and was told that I really needed to buy a new computer....no thanks. How do I find a way to get a new version of Adobe for Facebook and youtube. I wish Apple could develop a way to have intel chips installed in the older computers. If you have any suggestions on this please let me know.
Thanks, Sarah

Either get a screen cleaning cloth, or carefully us a slightly damp lint-free cloth and dry off with a dry link-=free cloth.
As to Flash Videos: I am in a similar same boat. I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer, although all other flash videos (YouTube and FaceBook for example) are fine.
For reasons that passeth all understanding, they work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have anabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
But there is a workaround!
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
I am using Flash 10.1.102.64 in TenFourFox and it works just fine.

Leopard to Snow Leopard can i use a large flash drive to backup first?

I've been using Leopard for 4 years with no problems.
Since Google decided to stop support for Leopard, and I use Chrome a lot I decided to upgrade. I won't be upgrading to Mountain Lion right right away. I ordered my Snow Leopard disks from Apple.
I understand that I need to backup. I want to backup with Time Machine before I upgrade the OS, but I don't have $75+ right now to purchase an external hard drive for this purpose only.
Can I use a large Flash Drive to run Time Machine? Like a 32 GB? I know that flash drives have a limited number of writes on them and can go bad, so I am thinking I could just use it this one time to make sure I have a clean backup. If this is possible, then can I set up Time Machine again later when I have an external drive?
Also, I have 2 cores on my Mac, but I have no idea how to use the 2nd core.
I'm also not sure if I need to purchase a specific external drive because I have a mac.
Thanks for the help.

If you only need to make a full backup prior to upgrading, I would suggest using SuperDuper, which for creating a full, bootable clone is free. (It is not free when you start needing to make incremental backups, but you won't be doing that, at least not right now.) For a bootable clone, you only need a Flash drive (or external drive) as big as the total size of the utilized space on your hard drive right now, not as big as whatever the entire drive size is.
In the past, I would have recommended Carbon Copy Cloner for this, but it's no longer free or donation-ware and you don't have the budget for both that and some kind of external or Flash drive.
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
You might also want to look around newegg.com for inexpensive USB external drives, or even large enough Flash drives. You'll probably find a much less expensive external hard drive than a Flash drive for this purpose.
You do not need to use Time Machine, but even if you did you could just make one full backup to a Flash or external drive and then unmount and disconnect it. An external for TM only needs to be so large because it's constantly taking snapshots of your drive and those add up. But you won't be using it that way.
Anyway, I think you're much better off with a bootable clone, should you need to restore that.
Don't worry about having 2 cores; that's nothing to do with backing up.

Snow Leopard + Flash 10.3.181.14 Plugin + Freeze

• Mac OS X 10.6.7
• MacPro 12GB RAM
• Latest Safari Build
• Flash Plugin (System Preferences Pane) 10.3.181.14
• Adobe Flash CS4 10.0.2
• Coda 1.7
While all Flash objects in all of my browsers (Safari, Chrome, FF, etc) work perfectly, when using Coda to view the websites (which runs using Safari's webkit engine and resources), certain Flash objects cause the Coda program to freeze, and then Coda needs to be Force Quitted.
This was not an issue with the same version of Coda on Leopard, 10.5.x. I also noticed 10.5.x does not use a Flash plugin preference pane. 10.5 has Flash version 10.2. No such problems there.
Visually, every few times the Flash object in question would load, but it would have visual artifacts and random lines, rather than the actual content. It looks very similar to an overclocked, overheated video card screen. See attached screenshot from Coda, vs. Safari. After the glitch happens, the next load of the SWF file causes a program freeze.

However, I could not find any issues in the console raised directly by Flash or Adobe. I'll be cross posting this in the Coda user support group.
What's going on here? Why would this only happen through Coda, which is basically using Safari's engine?

I should add that the SWF object in question here is being loaded dynamically through a lightbox style jQuery plugin. The SWF itself is using SWFobject2 to load. Finally, the SWF object's parent containers are often switched between display: none and display: block.
Again, only the built-in Coda browser has issue with all of this.

Snow Leopard and Adobe Flash Question

I'm aware that SL downgraded my version of flash to the previous one . I had recently downloaded the current version a few days before I installed SL so I did recognize the downgrade. But I've read that some people are having problems when they went back and re-downloaded the current version. So should I get the current version or just leave it as it is?
John

are you able to play any videos posted in youtube?if you do. Then its not an SL problem. I tried the link that you posted and indeed it does not play. but i have a lot of websites that requires flash:
youtube.com
mini-clip.com
facebook.com
if its a problem with Snow leopard then I wouldn't be able to browse these websites. Isolate it one by one. It may be a content issue. and NOT SL nor FlashPlayer
Tried it on firefox 3.5 and it works there but not safari. It maybe because the content is not compatible with Safari.

Flash problems with Snow Leopard

Just installed Snow Leopard and updated to 10.6.2.
I've noticed that some Flash based websites (Such as the Doritos crashthesuperbowl.com website) aren't working/loading.
The release build of Flash 10 would call a "Debugger() called!" error in the console. The beta of Flash 10.1 doesn't show anything but neither works.
Is this a Snow Leopard issue or is this a Flash issue or something else?
Any thoughts on where to look or how to fix this?
Thanks

Check to see if the Flash data folder was perhaps locked down somehow in the past (~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects) to prevent Flash from storing data locally (especially those insidious Flash cookies).
Check to make sure those folders are not locked and have the correct permissions to allow Flash to write to them.

Flash Problems with Snow Leopard Mackbook Pro

I am having trouble with Google Analytics and other websites that use hover states such as NewImageMedia.com's header. It seems the Hover Over stuff makes the Flash go crazy. When I say gow crazy I mean, it shoots the hover over stuff to the right at like 100%+ width and it goes off the page. I updated to 10.6.3 today because I thought that might clear the issue I was having. I used the Flash uninstaller, re-installed, fix permissions, put Safari in 32 bit and am still having difficulties. Also noticed my Parallels 3 doesn't work anymore with which is a shame.
This MBP is brand new, I just got it and installed everything from Time Machine. Is there any way I can just downgrade to 10.5? Would Apple do that for me? I can't keep dealing with these problems that Snow Leopard is having. I have too much work to do.

I want to also note that the issue is in Chrome as well, but Flash works properly in FireFox.
