Flash CS3 slow on Macbook Pro?

My wife is using CS3 creative suite on her 17" 2.4ghz Macbook
Pro with 2gb ram and 150gb hd and is using 10.5.4. Today when she
was trying to work in flash everything was extremely slow. So she
first freed up some space on her hd, then she ran repair disc
permissions and still very, very slow. She had recently added a few
different apps and utilities and noticed that her whole computer
was a bit sluggish. So she then tried creating a new user account
and tried flash in that and it was definitely alot faster. So there
must be a conflict some where. Is there anyway to determine what
might be the culprit or does she have to re install her OS and
apps?

Open up disk utility after inserting the USB flash drive and see if it pops up in disk utility, if it does, click on the device and then click on "MOUNT" at the top of disk utility right next to "BURN".

Flash cs3 locks up macbook pro

Anyone else having this issue? My machine complete locks up
when I am running flash cs3. I can't be 100% sure but It only seems
to happen when I collapse the actions panel, and the canvas has to
expand to fill the rest of the space.
I am on a new Macbook Pro 2.5ghz.

Hello,
Turn TM off in the system preferences. Plug in your BACKUP drive. Open Spotlight preferences and make sure BACKUP is excluded from Spotlight indexing
Open Disk Utility and perform a "Repair Drive" on that drive. It looks like there is a pretty big problem as reported in the log. Either you yanked the FW cable and dropped the connection. If it's not the case, you'll have to identify why that drive looked liked it was not present.
Rgds,
Thierry

How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro? It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place?

How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro? It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place? If so, how can I disable it or get Adobe Flash Player?

That message is just a standard one issued, mainly for Windows users, you can disregard it if you didn't install any anti-virus. (OS X has one installed by Apple that doesn't interfere)
It's just some forms of anti-malware are really paranoid and lock the entire machine down. (like Norton)

Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro?

Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.5?

Thanks for your help here is what I did so far!
I have uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it, I've tried restarting my browser, then my MacBook Pro without any success!
When I click on the Apple in the upper left hand corner and open System Preferences I can see Adobe Flash Player on the bottom under the Other section.
If I open Adobe up and check the version it tells me that I have the most recent version!
I even uninstalled Adobe and installed the newest Beta version, but Adobe is still not working! If I check for the latest version it tells me that I do have the latest beta version, but it still doesn't work!
If the person who made the video used any other video player it works!
Their player, plays the video without a problem!

There is a possibility that the stick requires more power than the MBP delivers. Try it on a powered hub.

I download adobe flash player for my macbook pro, but nothing that requires adobe flash player works

i download adobe flash player for my macbook pro, but nothing that requires adobe flash player works. i haven"t tried much, but only because i have no idea what to do.

After you've installed Flash Player (you have to mount the disk image by double-clicking and the double-click the insatller package) restart your browser and go to youTube, for example, -> http://www.youtube.com/ - and see if the videos play.
Call back if you need any further help.

I tried to encrypt using file vault but it froze slowing my macbook pro, how can i get things moving or stop the encryption

i tried to encrypt using file vault but it froze slowing my macbook pro, how can i get things moving or stop the encryption

Back up all data before proceeding. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Disk Utility.
In the Disk Utility window, select the icon of the startup volume from the list on the left. It will be nested below another disk icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar. When prompted, enter the login password of a user authorized to unlock the volume, or the alternate decryption key that was generated when you activated FileVault.
Then, from the menu bar, select
File ▹ Turn Off Encryption
Enter the password again.
You can then restart as usual, if the system is working. Decryption will be completed in the background. It may take several hours, and during that time performance will be reduced.
If you can't turn off encryption in Disk Utility because the menu item is grayed out, you'll have to erase the volume and then restore the data from a backup. Select the Erase tab, and then select
Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
from the Format menu.
You can then quit to be returned to the main Recovery screen. Follow these instructions if you back up with Time Machine. If you use other backup software, follow its developer's instructions.
Don't erase the volume unless you have at least two complete, independent backups. One is not enough to be safe.

Compressor is slow on Macbook Pro

Is anyone else noticing that compressor runs very slow on the macbook pros. We are using it to compress 22 minute standard def video files to quicktime 7>300k. The compressions run about twice as fast on a G5 comparred to a mac book pro.
I was reading this article and the testers seemed to have the same findings.
http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=43717
Has anyone found out why compressor is so slow on macbook pros and/or how to fix it?
Thanks!

Laptops have fundamentally worse performance than desktops with smiilar specs. This is true on customs, Macs, Dells, HP, alienware, etc. I try not to use my laptop to do anythign demanding because I know I'll be waiting a while. As far as a technical reason, it may be best to keep trying with Apple support. Although I'm sure its similar, I only knos the technical reasons for PCs.

Will flash work on a macbook pro?

Does flash work on a macbook pro? If not, how do you view various videos on line that require flash?

Flash works fine. If you use Chrome, it's built in. Otherwise, you install from here, no where else:
