Flash on the mac?

I recently got a part-time gig doing Flash dev. Cool, except
I have to
use a mac and I cannot believe how much Flash sucks on the
mac. Why will
nothing doc? How to have Flash fill the screen so I don't
click
somewhere and my email comes forward? I don't see how people
think this
is good... it's so irritating and so much worse to work in
than on
Windows. What gives??? Is there a way to make Flash cool on
the mac?
Dave

In all fairness to Adobe - they had nothing to do with the
development of the Flash program up
through version 8 - they purchased Macromedia a year ago and
Flash 9 will be the first version under
the Adobe name.

    It sounds as if your browser and some of your apps are not color-managed.  This is pretty typical.  Even IE9 is only partially color-managed.
    You can expect color-managed and non-color-managed applications to show you different things with the same images.  How different will depend upon how different your monitor color profile is from the image's color profile.
    For web publication and most general use, experts usually advise saving images with the sRGB profile.  If such images, saved through the Save for Web & Devices function, look different to you than you expect, it may be that your input images have previously been saved in another color space.
    You should really try to get your head around color-management by reading more on it.  It can seem baffling and it's difficult to understand without some background.  A quick web search turns up many overviews.  Beware, though, even people writing articles sometimes don't fully understand it.

  • I can install flash on the mac

    I downloaded the file seven or eight times. Every time I try to open it, it fails to install. On ANY browser, whether it be Firefox, Chrome, or Safari.
    WHy is that happening? It is enabled on settings/preference on the browser.
    The message I keep getting is
    The Application Install Adobe Flash Player quit unexpectedly
    Mac OS X and other applications are not affected.
    Click Relaunch to launch the application again. Clink

    So if I click on relaunch the same thing happens.
    If I click on report I get the following unknown error message:

    You can download MacOS 10.9 from Apple for free: Apple - OS X Mavericks - Do even more with new apps and features.
    The oldest version of MacOS we support is 10.6, and the vast majority of our effort and testing is happening on 10.9 and 10.10.  I'd highly recommend taking advantage of the free upgrade, as Apple is pretty aggressive about dropping support for older operating systems in their development tools and SDKs.  This makes it very difficult to support older Macs indefinitely.

    I think the cable may be fake?  When i connect the macbook to the charger the light on the charger flashes.  The mac-book will not boot or turn on.

    Use some self reliance and do a search!!!

    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)

    It would have been a great help to know precisely what Mac you have, so some of the following may not apply:
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
    (If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
    Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44:  Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
    And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
    Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • How do you download adobe flash player on the Mac?

    How do you download adobe flash player on the mac without it failing? I use to have it and try to upgrade it and now it won't work. I can't even watch any videos on the Internet.

    Adobe no longer supports 10.5 Leopard. You will have to upgrade to 10.6 to use the latest flash.10.5 Leopard was based on Power PC code and was written to be able to run on both Power PC and Intel processors. 10.6 Snow Leopard has completely rewritten code and only runs on Intel Macs. So anything written to run on 10.5  has twice the code needed for one written for 10.6 or newer.
    The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is back in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

  • My macbook wont sync the music i downloaded onto a flash drive and onto the mac book what do i do?

    My macbook wont sync the music i downloaded onto a flash drive and onto the mac book what do i do?

    If you subscribed to iTunes match the songs are kept in icloud. If you didn't but you did save the actual iTunes library folder which should include the music, video, etc.  you should be able to just drag this file back to your machine in the same place and when you open iTunes it will give you a chance to identify the iTunes library folder. 
    You can test this to find out if you saved the media files or not and don't need to attach your nano to do it. 
    You are correct that once you connect the nano it will clear the existing files from it and sync it with the new iTunes library. 
    If you don't have the media files i'm not sure if/how to get them back on a windows ipod.  I have everything backed up regularly because of the horror stories I have seen & heard.

  • Export To Flash in Encore CS4 on the Mac

    It has been widely reported (and I have confirmed) that Encore CS3 will not Build to Flash on a Mac running Leopard 10.5.5 and Quicktime 7.5.5 (the latest versions of Mac OS X and Quicktime). I would be most appreciative if anyone who has received Encore CS4 can determine if Build To Flash works on a Mac running OS 10.5.5 and Quicktime 7.5.5.
    Thank you in advance for responding.
    Tom

    Since no one has responded to my post on this issue, I can now provide the answer. First however, I want to insert the final comment in a long customer service request that I have had running with Adobe Technical Support since early August on this issue.
    "Monday, October 20, 2008 1:59:20 PM PDT
    Hello Tom,
    Thank you for contacting Adobe® Web Support for assistance with Adobe
    Encore® CS3.
    I understand that you are not able to export as flash from Encore CS3.
    On my Mac, I have OS 10.5.5, and QuickTime 7.5.5. I tested this issue
    with Encore CS3 and CS4. The export worked just fine on CS4, but again
    failed on CS3. I spoke with Adam, and a few others around, and were not
    quite sure why he was able to get this to work. I am 100% certain that
    using the same workflow, his Mac is able to handle this process, but
    none of the others I was able to try this on could. As far as I am
    concerned, his ability to perform this export is a fluke, and cannot be
    reproduced through known methods.
    However, the issue is resolved in the CS4 release, so you should be all
    set to do your flash exports once you get your upgrade.
    I hope this information helps to resolve your issue. If you require
    further assistance with this issue, please update your web case with
    complete details, including what steps you have applied and any error
    messages you are receiving.
    You may also call Technical Support at (800) 642-3623. We are available
    from 6:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday - Friday, Pacific Time.

    Now let me post my response:
    "Thursday, October 23, 2008 12:40:06 PM PDT
    Joshua E.,
    Thank you for your clear response to the issue of not being able to Build to Flash using Encore CS3. I can confirm the 100% accuracy
    of everything you have said by adding my own experiences of the last 48 hours with Adobe Production Premium CS3 and CS4.
    Two days ago I purchased the new Macbook Pro (Intel 2.53 GHz, 4 GB RAM). Immediately after setting up the Macbook Pro and getting i
    t operating, I installed Adobe Production Premium CS3 (and all updates to CS3 Production Premium) on this brand new Macbook Pro. No
    other software outside of the Mac OS 10.5.5 (and all updates to it) had been installed on this Macbook Pro. I then opened Premiere
    CS3, placed 10 seconds of bars and tone in the timeline, and directly exported this to Encore CS3. I then selected Build To Flash.
    Once again Encore CS3 froze at the "transcoding video" step and would not progress beyond 20%. This is the exact same behavior I
    had on my Mac Pro 8-core machine and reported in this thread.
    I then installed Adobe Production Premium CS4 on my Mac Pro 8-core. I followed the above step with the exception that apparently di
    rect export from Premiere Pro CS4 to Encore CS4 is no longer available. I simple exported the Premiere Pro 10 second timeline to a
    Quicktime .mov file using the Export>Media command in Premiere Pro CS4. I then took this .mov file into Encore CS4 and without bui
    lding any menus, selected Build To Flash. The Build to Flash occurred perfectly with no problems at the "transcoding video" step or
    any other step.
    Needless to say, I am very pleased to see that Adobe has corrected the problems with Build to Flash in CS4 on a Mac. However, this
    problem had been well reported in numerous forums (including the Adobe Encore Forum) on the web as far back as six months ago, and
    I am saddened to see that Adobe did not feel it was worth the effort to repair the issue with Build To Flash in CS3 on a Mac that w
    as apparently caused by an upgrade to Quicktime that Apple released sometime after Quicktime 7.3.1. I cannot expect Apple to addres
    s issues with Adobe software caused by their Quicktime upgrades. I do, however, expect Adobe to see that their software runs on the
    latest editions of both Mac OS X and Quicktime. Otherwise, as happened with Encore CS3 and Build to Flash on a Mac, the customer bu
    ys the software expecting it to work and it does not. We are in a tough economy now. I need the software from Adobe that supports
    my media production company to work, and I don't need Apple and Adobe pointing the finger at each other when it does not. I hope th
    at you will pass this message along to senior Adobe management.
    I do thank you for telling me your observations on Build To Flash with a Mac under Encore CS3.
    Tom

  • Flash Decompilers for the Mac

    Hi all
    I'm looking for a decent Flash Decompiler for the Mac. I have
    a demo of the Gordon Flash Decompiler, but the demo doesn't let me
    save anything as an fla, which I think is all I want to do with it.
    Plus I've read more bad than good reviews online, so that makes me
    a bit apprehensive. Anyone here have any problems with this
    program?
    Are there others out there that maybe I should look at?
    Thanks

    I had a lot of trouble with SimCity4 on my iMac. It became such a headache that I returned it to compUSA. It ran very choppy and crashed repeatedly when the city began to develop. My system FAR exceeds the system requirements for the game, and after some online research I discovered that I am not the only person to have this trouble with SimCity running on 10.4. I have also read problems concerning the SIMS2. Some of what I have read indicates that 10.3 runs the games fine, but 10.4 causes them to crash. I don't know if this is the case, but I do know that I am now very weary before dropping $50 on a game that may not perform on my computer as it claims to on the box. Some people trying to run games are talking about waiting for Mac OS updates that will allow them to run smoother.

    Hi Sandra,
    you'll need to edit the security settings to install programs 'Mac App Store and identified developers'
    Open the Systems Preference and go to Security & Privacy.  There will be a section in the 'General' tab for 'Allow apps downloaded from:"  The default selection is 'Mac App Store'.  Change this setting to 'Mac App Store and identified developers".
