Flash on Macs....

I install Flash Player on my MacBook, and I my Safari will
open up and display this message:
The page “Macromedia - Flash Player” has content
of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you
don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in
should be available on this page:
https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer
Do you want to open the page?
WHAT DO I DO?!

Sorry if i missed something - but you want to click on that
link to install the player...right?
Or does this happen after the player has been installed?

Unable to Install Flash on Mac OS X Mountain Lion

I have attempted several times to install Flash Player (11.7.700.225) on Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4), and every time I attempt to install it hangs on 20% during installation. I have ensured that there is no flash player installed on the Mac currently, and I have also deleted the original Flash download and re-downloaded a couple of times. I also attempted the troubleshooting solution (#7) found here http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html#main-pa rs_header_0. However, this leads me nowhere because as you can see, my resources folder doesn't contain a .pkg file, nor do any of the other folders in the Contents folder (at least from what I can see). Do you have any other solutions for this problem? Cheers.

Flash cs4 mac - Error opening URL '/:Users:someting.swf' - Not a "loading external content" problem

Hello.
I am having a weird problem when trying to test a movie or publish preview -> flash on mac with Leopard os.
The result is a blank movie with the usuall "movie not loaded" if u right click on it and the output returns the "Error opening URL 'the path of the swf here'.
This has nothing to do with loading external files or something like that. It happens even in blank movies and it gives the same error if I try to open a swf from flash ide.
I can publish the project or export the movie with no problem at all.
I can preview the movie in html. I can run all the swf files in my hard disk, network, usb stick, dvd etc., but when I try to open any of these files from flash ide I got that stupid error.
Its not something that stops me from working in flash ide but its slow to export movie any time I want to test it.
Things that I've tried so far but nothing worked:
Update the flash cs4 to the latest version
Update the flash players
Restored the release flash player as default player (I am using as default the debug player)
Cleared the preferences
Move the flash cs4 folder to another location in hd
Saved the fla document first before testing the movie (in different places with or without spaces in document name or folder)
Give read & write permissions for everyone for flash.app, players and for fla files when saved first before test movie
Unistall and install the application 3-4 times.
Test every as version just in case.
Also I've checked the folders when testing movie and I can see that it creates an swf file, which I can run it outside flash ide (the one that the flash ide player cannot load) with no problem.
The mac os has the default set up as it came. Nothing chnaged in permissions or security settings.
Thanx in advance.

In this particular example I am using this code to start the
xml file load:
// now load the XML file that contains the content strings
var sXMLFile:String = "xml/home.xml";
var xmlContent:XML = new XML();
xmlContent.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlContent.onLoad = onXMLLoadComplete;
xmlContent.load( sXMLFile );
But I don’t think the code is the problem here . This
happens on every file I load when I am using a relative path to the
content, regardless of how I load the content (XML object,
loadMovie, MovieClipLoader, etc…) and the same code executes
perfectly on every other machine in the office(Mac and PC).
I’m more concerned with the semi-colons and .swf filename
that Flash is putting into my relative path on the error message.
Is that normal?

Can't install latest version of flash on mac osx!

I've been trying to install the latest version of Flash on my mac but at 30% the download stops and says that the connection is lost and the installation failed.
I have already uninstalled, ran a clean install, tried other browsers and nothing has been working. Can anyone help?!

Hello,
I'm assuming your attempting to use the online installer, downloaded from get.adobe.com/flashplayer. Please try the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page.

Flash and Mac Power PCs..

Hi Everyone,
I am having a problem with my dual GHz G5 power PC mac and Flash. Recently, all of a sudden sites that use flash have been causing both firefox (3.6.21) and safari to crash so I decided to uninstall flash and download the most up to date version (I have up until recently been offline for a while). Obviously then I discovered that flash for power PCs is not made any more so I had to download the most recent PPC version (10.1 I believe). However, now that I have installed this, the same problem keeps happening.
Does this mean that I am unable to get the right version of flash and that my G5, which is only 6 years old, will now be largely unable to properly browse the net? I know that Macs now use intel processors but surely I have some option?!
Thanks in advance guys

Hi,
Thanks for the advice, but I have already done this but it doesn't seem to be working properly. When I click on the flash install icon a box appears with the adobe logo and two smaller boxes inside that are clickable, but that have no writing on them. There is also a smaller box to the left of the larger one that I an click on and make a tick appear, which then allows me to click on the right hand box. I am then asked to type in my password and then it takes me to a progress bar but still absolutely no text..
I have no idea whats going wrong! Any other ideas?!
Thanks in advance

Hello,
You are correct that the latest version of Flash Player no longer supports PPCs. However, you can grab the last release of Flash Player to support PPC here:

Bug de flash sous Mac OS X

Je voudrais juste faire remarquer à cette jolie
société qu'est Macromedia, que flash sous Mac OS X ne
vaut pas son prix...
Avis intime certes, mais heureux pour vous que je ne sois pas
un professionnel, sinon je pratiquerais les mêmes
méthodes douteuses.
Bugs à signaler: instabilités, lenteurs, et choses
étonnantes, décalages de l'interface logique/graphique!
Exemple: de clique sur position X dans les propriété,
c'est comme si j'avais cliqué sur Y....
Très lourd, tout les boutons sont comme ça, à
part les menus dieu merci... Si il y'a encore un dieu...
Postez vos bugs mieux que moi!

Hi, I am not familiar with Adobe Bridge at all, and just a little with Mac:-) What I do know is that if Flash Player is Installed correctly there is a plugin in the browser.
Look into the HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ directory and see if you have the below two files:
Flash Player.plugin
flashplayer.xpt
This Flash Player plugin, Shockwave Flash should be enabled.
If you want to post back your Flash files that were Installed, we can see if all of the old files were removed during the Uninstall.
You may find some info on this site:

Intel vs. flash in mac

what we can do to resolve the problem with a flash to preview the internet pages ....u know the intel proccesors have problems with flash in mac...

There is a simple resolution available for this Safari/Flash plugin issue.
This is an excerpt taken from a discussion thread at
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2760045&#2760045
"The Intel version of the Flash player was already installed when you received your computer. By using the online installer you've overwritten the one that was already there. The new Flash 9.x.x Intel Beta version is here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/public_beta/."

What should I use? - Developing from AI to Flash for Mac, iPad & Windows

Not sure if I am in the right forum so if not please let me know.
I want to develop an app to use on our Mac, Windows, and iPad systems. It would run locally and not over the internet. In short I would take template art from Illustrator files and convert to a usable flash files. The app would allow the user to change the named fields on the templates to their company name for visualizing the art. I have been doing some testing and this appears to be possible.
I am obviously new to this and trying to understand what/how to develop. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for the help and you are correct I have not gotten into the iPad enough for any testing.
I have read that Flash is not supported and also read that it is supported on the iPad. Confused as to what this page is telling me regarding a "Packager for iPhone IOS" - http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/packagerforiphone/ and this page http://www.adobe.com/devnet/logged_in/abansod_iphone.html
Is this stuff just wishful thinking or only on iPhone or something else? Again thanks for the help.

G3 won't start from HDD (CD-Rom OK, Flashing ? & Mac Logo)

Hi All,
I recently purchased a 2nd had Power Macintosh G3 (Blue & White) from the local school who were using it as their server.
When I got it home and plugged the monitor, keyboard, mouse and power in I fired it up.
All I get is a "?" inside a folder alternating with a face (Mac Logo?). I can hear the HDD's working, but they don't sound like a roulette ball (As discussed in other areas).
What I have tried (From other messages in this forum):
1. A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac - Article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58042 including resetting the PRAM
2. Booting from Power Macintosh G3 boot CD-Rom and running the "Disk first Aid". When both HDD's are installed, the util doesn't recognise anything other than the CD-Rom.
3. Disconnected slave drive and attempted to boot from the HDD I got a message in a big black box asking me to reset the computer in multiple languages.
4. Booted from G3 CD-Rom with only the master HDD installed I get:
This disk is unreadable by this computer.
Do you want to initialize the disk?
Mac OS Standard 9.5Gb / Mac OS Extended 9.5Gb
If I press [Cancel] I finally get booted (From the G3 CD) I can run the first aid util and it recognises "Untitled - ATA Bus 1 Dev 0" and when I verify the HDD I get different errors each time I run it and "Test done. Problems were found, but Disk First Aid cannot repair them. The volume "untitled" could not be mounted"
5. Booted from G3 CD-Rom with only the Slave HDD installed I get the same result as #2 above.
Thanks in advance for your advice...

It's good to know at least the main hardware is working
Sorry, but I am unable to find the utility that you mentioned. I checked all the menu's (Including the Apple Logo) and no profiler was there, so I used the built in help and it also mentioned the profiler, but when I clicked on "Open the Apple System Profiler for me" nothing happened...
You mentioned Mac OS X, I don't know what OS is on the HDD's. Going by "about this computer" the boot CD is Mac OS 8.5.1 Mac OS ROM 1.2.
As for the "Drive Setup" utility, it doesn't recognise any of the two HDD's if they're both connected, and if the Slave is disconnected, I get the error I mentioned in my original post (Ref Point 4) and drive setup shows the following:
Volume Name Type Bus ID LUN
power Macintosh G3 ATAPI 0 0 0
<not mounted> ATA 1 0 0
Sorry for the delay in my response. I have been talking to the school to see if they have been experiencing any problems and they said that before they decomissioned it, it was working perfectly as their server.
Power Macintosh G3 Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier 128Mb, M10.2Gb, S6.8Gb

Unable to install Flash on Mac OS X 10.8.4

I am currently running Mac OS X 10.8.4. This morning I had a blocked plug-in message on YouTube, so I tried to install the latest version of Flash. After installing, I was still getting the blocked plug-in message, so I completely uninstalled Flash and tried to reinstall it. Now YouTube is telling me that I don't have Flash at all. I have tried to reinstall twice now and am still unable to get Flash onto my computer.
Can someone please help me?
Thank you!

Flash video, Macs and Acrobat 9

So I can now "insert" Flash video into my PDFs that I create in Acro 9 Pro. I just can't "convert" other video file types to Flash in Acrobat unless I'm using Extended on a PC, right? But once I have the video as an FLV, I'm good?
Thanks!
dc

David,
I am afraid computer Software industry-wide you will find that. And the funny thing about it, is that many applications, Including Acrobat, got their start on the Mac Platform. Because unlike the windows crowd, that unwilling to use a new product with a new ideas, The Mac crowd, was willing to experiment.
Acrobat originated on the Mac platform. Excel if you dig really deep in history got it start as the spreadsheet/database part of Appleworks for the Apple II. There are many others. Then once the PC crowd saw oh look at this thing that the Mac people are using, let's have it too. THen because the user base is larger, Mac R&D to keep up lagged because the money numbers isn't there.
So if your a new, Mac user be prepared to be frustrated, because of disparities. Until the Mac user base gains a a 50/50 shar will things change.

Flash on Macs....
