Flash issues - works in one account, not in another.

Need help with any ideas on solving this issue.
I recently installed the latest official release of Flash Player 8. (8,0,24,0)
Then for some reason some sites doesn't display Flash content properly in Safari. My homepage for example (http://www.swedishboy.dk) doesn't work.
It sometimes loads the sound and the menu but not the "text" headline (it's text!!) nor the external swf file loaded into the first one. It all works smooth on Firefox and has worked on Safari before. In fact, on my fathers account on the very same iMac (G4) it works in Safari!!!
I've tried reseting Safari (bye bye all saved passwords), emptying cache, trashing Safari preferences, uninstalling Flash and installing it again (from my account) and still I get the same result. I give up. It seems to be a graphic issue with my account, any ideas?

swedishboy,
This is what I have listed in my Safari>Help>Installed Plugins Menu:
Shockwave Flash
Shockwave Flash 8.0 r24 — from file “Flash Player Enabler.plugin”.
What do you have listed in your installed plugins?
What results do you obtain when you check the Test Macromedia Shockwave & Flash Players link?
;~)
I just noticed that I have two of them listed...but the second one has a slightly different name:
Shockwave Flash
Shockwave Flash 8.0 r24 — from file “Flash Player.plugin”.
Perhaps someone else can explain that difference.

Word import - hyperlinks work in one document, not in another

Hi all,
I am aware that much has been written about broken links after importing, but there is a strange pattern to my problem I have not seen before.
I have three language versions of one document (English, French, German). So I set up three independent RoboHelp 8 projects and imported (linked) the corresponding Word documents. English and German are no problem, but in the French project, some (10%) cross-refs are not converted to hyperlinks. The involved titles have no accents, so it is probably not a character set problem. If I update the Word link or force update, it is always exactly the same cross-refs that are not converted correctly.
The cross-refs in Word look like this:
{HYPERLINK \I " title "}
The cross-refs that do convert correctly have the same format, I see no difference between cross-references that work in RH and those that don't.
Any ideas about this?

Sometimes, but it does not seem to affect the function. There are working links with spaces at the end.
On the other hand, there are strange things like this:
I have two chapter titles named "Système de désignation des modules de fonction" and"Système de désignation des connexions".
When I create hyperlinks, then Word inserts these fields:
{HYPERLINK \l " Système de désignation"}
{HYPERLINK \l " Système de désignation "}
-> The titles are cut off in the middle, the text markers differ only by an extra space. These hyperlinks work in Word, but not in RoboHelp.

Gmail account works on one Mac, not on another

I have a late 2009 iMac and an early-model MacBook Air. Both were running the latest Mountain Lion; I updated both to Mavericks, so they are both running OS X 10.9 and Mail 7.0.
Before the upgrade, both Macs had a mail account. (It's the mail service for my ISP, but it's really just Gmail.) Mail worked equally well on both.
After the upgrade, Mail continued to work perfectly on the iMac, but it failed completely on the MBA. I get a warnint triangle next to my Inbox. When I click on it, Connection Doctor tells me that I have a good internet connection, but that it could not connect to either the Gmail SMTP server or the IMAP server.
I've checked every detail of the account settings from Mail preferences; they are identical. I've deleted and recreated the account on the MBA multiple times, from both the Mail preferences accounts tab and the System Preferences Internet Accounts tab. Nothing helps. Mail on the MBA is totally unable to connect to the Gmail servers, no matter what I do.
Here are some of the details:
Account Information:
Enable this account: checked
Account Type: Google IMAP
Description: Tellink IMAP
Email Address: ([email protected] (my ISP))
Full Name: (my name)
Incoming Mail Server: smtp.gmail.com
User Name: (same as my email address)
Password: (my Gmail password)
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): Tellink (Offline)
Use only this server: Checked
TLS Certificate: None
Edit SMTP Server List:
Description: Tellink
Server Name: smtp.gmail.com
In Use By Account: Tellink IMAP
Use custom port: 465
Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Password: (my Gmail password)
Advanced:
IMAP Path Prefix: (empty)
Port: 993
Use SSL: checked
Use IDLE command if the server supports it: checked

This was fixed by the upgrade to 10.9.1.

Leopard Junk filter works on one iMac, not on another?

My wife got her iMac on November 7th. It didn't come with Leopard pre-installed, a bit of a surprise but it came with a CD which I used to upgade her to Leopard. I got my iMac a month later. Leopard preinstalled. Now the question. In using her Mail, it didn't seem to learn anything. It was labeling as junk senders in her address book and regular much of the junk mail. I put in a trial copy of Spamsieve and it looks to work pretty good. I thought I would have to buy a copy for my iMac but decided to hold off and I started using Mac Mail. My filter seems to work fine. Catches all the junk, doesn't label anyone in my address book as junk. Why the difference? Our iMacs are identical except she had to upgrade from Tiger and I didn't. Our mail preference settings are identical. Our two email accounts are dot Mac and Yahoo. Since we are switching from PC to Mac, this is our first experience and its a learning one. So far so good. Except for this anamoly with Junk mail filter.
Anyone have any ideas? Please don't tell me to do a clean install on hers and start over with a clean Leopard install. Thanks

I appreciate your response and yes the Preferences are the same in the Junk Mail area including the Advanced. I didn't make real clear my underlying concern that this difference might be in some way due to an upgrade version of Leopard versus a clean install. Logically that shouldn't matter but we all know that just because something is logical doesn't mean it is correct. Since SpamSieve seems to be working as advertised, I'm hesitant to pull the trigger on it right now. It just seemed odd to me that she was having these problems with the Junk Mail filter and I didn't. Particularly when it was marking emails from her Address Book as spam and not just once. That shouldn't require a Baynesian whatever. And I think when I installed SpamSieve, it wiped out everything that the Mac Mail filter had anyway. I think. I was a bit hacked that I waited for Leopard to come out so I wouldn't have to go through an upgrade and then got it shipped with Tiger installed anyway a month after Leopard was released. Sorry, that would make this a rant and that's not my intent. If that upgrade versus clean is not the possible culprit, then I'll wait until her 30 day trial is over with SpamSieve, and decide from there. Thanks again.

CS2 Works for one user, not for another

A friend has started getting the dreded "An error has been detected with a required application library and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application."
I've found this problem listed a number of times in the forums, but none of them seem to have a solution.
He is on a Window 7Pro machine running 64-bit.
Reinstalling does not fix the problem and customer support will no longer help with a CS2 application.
He has compared the C:\Users\Username\AppData folders between the primary user and the others, but not clear which folder he should delete. Most reference a specific applicaiton (like InDesign, Illustrator, PhotoShop, etc) and this problem happens for every CS2 app.
He's considering backing up the whole disk, then delete the user's profile, and then re-create it, and then put back the documents, email, contacts, bookmarks, etc. That's a fair amount of trouble, but it should work.
Can anyone suggest an easier way?

Sorry, but even that is not guaranteed to work. CS2 is unsupported under Windows 7 and using it on a 64 bit machine adds a whole new level of complexity. It's time for your friend to upgrade. Troubleshooting this installation will be nothing but an excercise in futility.
It's also worth noting that CS2 is the earliest version eligible for upgrade pricing. You can save a few bucks along with free shipping on Amazon: http://amzn.to/h0SwTa
Your (and your friend's) call of course. But if really wants to stick with CS2 he should roll back to XP SP2. Anything later than that is a crapshoot.

Flash only works for one user

Using IE7. I have three users on my computer. All
have Administrator level access. Flash only works for one of them.
When attempting to play a video on YouTube for example it says "You
either have JavaScrip turned off or an old version of Adobe Flash
Player."
JS is turned on and the current version of Flash Player is
installed.
So does anyone know what is going on here?
Thanks

I was able to fix my problem of Flash only working on user
account. I did the following two steps to correct the problem:
1. First uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX
control by following the instructions stated in
tn_14157.
2. Second Download SubInACL from Microsoft to fix permission
issues that prevent the Flash Player installation by following the
instructions stated in
fb1634cb.
Following the above two steps, fixed my problem of only
having Flash run on only one user account. Now it runs on all four
user accounts.
As a side note: The Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control
would not run in user accounts with Limited access. But when I set
the permission of the user account to administrative, then Flash
would work.
Regards,
Bob

Flash 10 works in FF but not Safari, OS X 10.5

About a week ago flash stopped working in Safari and both firefox and safari started bugging me to install a newer version. Muttering, I went to the download page and downloaded the latest, which claims to be for Safari, Opera, and firefox.
Installation completes fine with no errors. Firefox works. But in Safari, I just get the usual 'no flash installed, would you like to download it?'
I've downloaded and installed multiple times, no dice. Plug-ins are enabled on Safari. I do not have settings folders to delete--/Library/Application Supprt/Adobe has no flash player folder, only Acrobat, Updater6, and Help.
This whole thing is a black box and I don't see what else to do. Installation completes and there's no way to verify anything. Any ideas would be welcome.

Thanks! BTW I'm also having trouble updating Adobe Reader. I have 9.4.0 and want to update to the new Adobe Reader X. I keep getting Error 1402 which refers to the registry keys. I am unable to completely uninstall the old version. After receiving the error message it reloades the older version. I read about how to modify the registry to accept it but I believe this is a very wierd way to have to get an update loaded. Any suggestions?

Subject: Flash Player works in IE8 but not Safari
Hi Bruce, Adobe Flash Player is Installed separately into IE, since Windows uses the ActiveX Control. Firefox and other non-IE
browsers must use the plugin Installer.
This is the Adobe site :

Hope that explains it.

I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

If you want Bridge CS6 to open when using Photoshop CS6, you must quit Bridge CC.
Then File menu > Browse in Bridge will bring up Bridge CS6.
If Bridge CC is already open, The File > Browse in Bridge for Photoshop CS6 will use Bridge CC and Bridge CS6 will not open.
I hope that's the answer you were looking for.

Why is my airportxpr only working with Itunes and not with another music program

I can not select/see other outputs in my sound selector.

You have not indicated which OS or which music program you have so I have listed a program called Airfoil to try for both Windows and Mac - it may work for you

Shared iTunes library, working fine in one account, not in other

This problem is on our Intel 2.4 iMac running 10.5.1, iTunes 7.6. iTunes music folder is in Users-Shared folder. Two user accounts. Both accounts have iTunes pointed to the Users-Shared folder. First account works great, second account looks like it should be fine when you first open iTunes (all playlists, songs, purchases, etc listed) however when you try to play a song all songs get the exclamation mark in front of them and you get the pop up windows to ask to locate the file.
Checked Prefs-Advanced and iTunes is pointed to the same folder as the other account. Checked permissions for that folder, verified/repaired permissions in disk utility. Deleted the .plist in the troubled users Library. Nothing I know how to do has worked.
This problem was present before 7.6, just have not be available to look at it for my mom until now.
Thank you for any help.

I tried to get this working also, and couldnt, Im a new mac user but following advice and web searching still couldnt get it to work.
I could see the library but all the files were read only, I couldnt edit them in one account, also if I added a song in one user library it didnt auto show up in the other
Let me know if you do please!

ITunes and iPod not working with one account

Hi
I have iTunes 9.0.1 running on 10.6.1 on a MBP and I have just bought a new 5th generation iPod Nano.
I have been trying to set up the iPod on my partner's account on my MBP. iTunes just freezes every time I plug in the iPod and needs a force quit. When I try to set it up on my account it is recognised straight away. I have also been able to set it up on a new account but I cannot find any way to stop iTunes freezing on my partner's account. Her account works perfectly otherwise.
Strangely the iPod is seen by the Mac OS on my partner's account in that I can browse it in finder and the icon appears on the desktop. It is just iTunes on this one account that does not work.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Any thoughts?

Home sharing works with one account but not another?

My family has an apple tv, we've been having problems setting up the home sharing and tried everything. We eventually decided to try my brother's apple id instead of my mother's and it worked. So my question is; why does home sharing not work with one id but works with the other? any suggestions to get it to work with my mother's id?

Try resetting the Apple TV. enter your mother's ID again. Then remove her ID on iTunes and re-add it. Then see if it works this time.

How can I fix my iSight settings when it works on one account and not the other?

iSight continually crashes third party applications. I've checked another account on my MBP, and iSight works on different accounts. What settings can I troubleshoot on the account?
Thank you!

Although the documentation says you can copy Time Machine backups in the Finder, it's very slow and sometimes doesn't work at all.
Launch Disk Utility, open the built-in help, and search for the term "Duplicate." Follow the instructions. All existing data on the destination volume will be erased. That shouldn't be a problem, because you don't want to mix backup and non-backup data on the same drive anyway. Turn Time Machine OFF in its preference pane while copying the volume.

Flash Player works for Administrator but not other users

I have Flash Player 10.2.153.1 installed and I am running Windows Vista 32-bit and Windows Internet Explorer 8. If I am logged in as the Administrator I have no problem watching video previews from the Odeon and other similar websites. However, if logged on a Standard user account Odeon film previews cannot be seen - all I get is a blank white viewing box with a small square box in the top left corner with the colours red, green and blue in it (it is too vague to make out what the logo is even when zoomed in). The inability to watch video clips for Standard users seems to be random as some sites work while others do not? Can anyone help solve this problem? Why do I have this problems for the standard user accounts on some websites but not at all for the Administrator account on any website ???

Experienced same problems: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/790415
Would very much appreciate a solution.

Flash Movie works when testing, but not in application

My flash movie works when I "Test Movie" within Flash 8 or
when I press F12 and open it in the browser, but it only show the
dynamic text, not the pictures when I place it within my page. The
dynamic text changes properly but no images are displayed.

I suspect this is where my issue lies, but I am not sure how
to fix it. I have attached some code that defines the image
location. I am able to successfully retrieve documents with the
following, is this the same type of scenerio,

except in the images folder ?
