Flash palyer + Windows live.

Ok, i seem to have a problem with my flash player. I try to play winks in my Windows Live chats and it tells me i don't have flash installed when i most certainly do. i've installed it some number of times already now. Any ideas? i have been to a number of other tech support but no one seems to be answering.

Live Messenger uses a different player from Firefox. Live Messenger uses the ActiveX version that is also used in IE and Firefox uses the plug-in version that every other browser uses. Being able to see Flash content on Firefox doesn't guarantee that you have the ActiveX needed for Live Messenger.
I'd suggest you navigate to the Flash download page with IE to see if it's installed and if it's not, install it. You should be ok from then on.

Windows Live Messenger crash with Adobe Flash Player

operating system : Windows 7, 64
browser: Mozilla Firefox (latest version. I have problems with WLM's latest version).
Flash Player version: 10.1
Everytime I install Adobe Flash Player for Windows Live Messenger (it has to be done by Internet Explorer) the Messenger crashes with no message. It just goes white and I can't even close it (I close it with the Task manager). I also have Messenger Plus! installed.
What's the problem? I have a Windows XP (32) with the same Messenger, Flash Player and Plus! version installedand I don't get the crash.
Thanks for your support.

Let me explain it better:
A message appears telling me that I need Adobe Flash Player. Y Download it for Internet Explorer (becaouse it doesn't work with Firefox's plug-in) and I install it with no programs opened. Then, once is installed, I open Windows Live Messenger and at first it goes well... but then, after 1 munute or so (maby less) the program goes white (not the hole computer, just the Messenger) and that's cause it has crashed.

Migrating from Windows Live Photo Gallery to iPhoto

I'm interested in moving to a Mac, and bringing with me my photo collection, which has been organised (keyworded) using Windows Live Photo Gallery.
Has anybody had any experience with this?
All the keywords assigned using WLPG are stored in the photos as EXIF metadata, and I'm interested in preserving this, to save re-keywording the photos...
Thanks
David

David
If the keywords are written to the correct fields on the Metadata then they will come with the photos to the Mac.
Easiest way to check, pop some on a USB Flash Drive and bring them to a Mac using friend's house or even a local Apple store.

ITunes disrupting Internet Explorer, Windows Live Messenger

Hi
I recently downloadeded iTunes 7.4.2.4. Now when I have Internet Explorer open at the same time as iTunes, iTunes will constantly switch to itself, or in any other program will sit on the taskbar flashing orange, without me doing anything. It also refuses to show what I am listening to on Windows Live Messenger. Any help?

Okay... I've solved my issue using a work-around. the iTunes code for broadcasting these things definintely needs to be looked into. Its pretty trivial that syncing an iPod that doesn't have the "manual ejection" option ticked could cause a detrimental issue such as this.
As Hinted, to fix the issue. Make sure the iPod is set to be 'manually ejected' once its finished syncing. This means you will effectively have to eject it yourself using iTunes once you've synced it.
The steps I did was...
*1. Set iPod to be 'manually ejected' once synced and hit apply.*
*2. Sync iPod... again, for good measure.*
*3. Restart the computer.*
*4. Start iTunes with the iPod still connected, Sync it again.*
*5. Open Windows Live Messenger and make sure 'show what im listening to' is ticked.*
*6. Play a song in iTunes and see if it worked.*
*Please post if this helped you.* Im sure a few of those steps like re-syncing aren't neccesary, then again it's "Apple" iTunes so it's best to be safe then sorry.
Currently, the wonderful world of iTunes (7.7) is saying I don't have permission to set it as my default audio player, and im the friggin Admin...
*Bravo! Apple Team, Bravo!*

Flash Player - Windows 7 - 2 Processes in Windows Task Manager - Slowing performance?

Hello...I was hoping someone could help me fix this issue. I live on my computer for work so this affects me daily and has for many, many, many months. Firefox works great until Flash Player launches and then everything I do in my browser slows down to a speed similar to a turtle in a chess match. When I go into the Windows Task Manager to close the Flash Player process so I can, for example, browse a text-only page or fill out a discussion question form on Adobe's forum page without 5 to 10 second delays between instructions (moving the mouse, clicking on something in the browser, typing etc.), I find not one but two processes in the Windows Task Manager. I assume there should only be 1 process and was wondering if it was something I could fix on my machine somewhere other than doing it 15 times a day using Windows Task Manager to stop the process(es) so my machine will work properly.
I highly suspect it is the Flash Player that causes the issue as every single time I kill the process, my machine works like it is supposed to (fast etc.). As soon as the Flash Player Plugin process(es) starts everything comes to a crawl. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this or how to fix it? I use the latest version of Firefox, the latest version of Flash Player, Windows 7 Professional (latest updates installed), I eat right, get good sleep, give to charity, and love my mom. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help in advance!

Hello Chris and Sameer,
thank you for getting back on this issue.
To answer your questions first:
- no, I have not posted this issue in the connect forums - I will do and point to this discussion
- Sameer, I have tested the webcam on the website you pointed out, it is not working with Firefox but it is working in Chrome
I also need to give you an update on the current versions I use:
Win 7 Pro (64bit) (all updates included)
Firefox 21.0
IE 10.0.9200.16576
Chrome 26.0.1410.64 m
Flash Player 11.7.700.202
Adobe Connect Addin 11.2 r261
I tested the webcam via FP with Firefox, IE and Chrome in the versions mentioned above. Only in Chrome I can run the WebCam on the www.testwebcam.com website. Once I start the adobe connect meeting and want to start the webcam the Connect Addin stops working with the popup as shown in post 3 of this discussion in all three browsers.
All components have been uninstalled and installed again (except for IE) for testing with no change in the result. I have also rolled back the computer to the system recovery point furthest back in time to see if any other installation might be the cause. But no luck either.
I am happy to post the logs but would need advise where to find these or how to retrieve.
Thanks!

Problems because install adobe flash palyer.

install adobe flash palyer on my macbook pro retina display, and now I hacer.lo failing to install because the program mactube needed.
that is good program to download videos from youtube?

Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking the following link and selecting "Save target as".
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Save it to your downloads folder and close Internet Explorer. Reboot your system, so NOTHING is running but Windows. THEN run the installer.
Then check the following:
Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer
ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer

Why does Windows Live start whenever I go to Home (Facebook)?

Well I just figured it out by myself for anyone else's info.
Windows Live added an "If" statement to my Home page! I don't remember telling it was Ok to do that. Apparently I chose to link the two.
To stop it, right click on home and Customize. The delete the If statement.

You can check for issues caused by plugins (plugins are not affected by Safe mode).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins
You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

What causes "Windows Live Sign-out isn't complete-Finish signing out"?

When signing out of email at www.hotmail.com, I get the message “Windows Live Sign-out isn’t complete…Finish signing out” instead of the "signout successful" screen. The message suggests deleting all cookies, which I did. Then I deleted firefox 5 and reinstalled firefox 4.0.1.
Same error occurs with firefox 4.0.1.
The error does not occur when I use MS internet explorer to access hotmail.

Fix for Sign-Out Hotmail
= Completely
Vista-Ultimate32-SP2 (x86) [U.S.Version]
No - MSN messenger √
Firefox 11.0 [Windows] √
The Fix: = Firefox must block “All” pop-ups from plug-ins / Flash / images..ie ..!!!!!
Important…!!
Updated Search Engine to “ixquick”.
• Ixquick…..!!!!...
• As of January 28, 2009, Ixquick no longer records users' IP addresses at all. “_https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ixquick_” .
• Believe me when I say once you have gotten ixquick “ set properly” you will kick yourself for putting up with Micro$oft’s ..&&.. Google’s piracy and privacy abuse…!!!
Important…Note***“Completely”…!!!... Delete and removed all references and options of Google/Bing Search engines…
”they are the most radical and intrusive search Plug-ins and softwares to Firefox users and web surfing privacy” …!!!!!!
Reason:..Why..?
When you log-in to hotmail the following harmful cookies (Beacon cookies / Candy cookies), are Automatically created:::
bing.com
google.com
hmit.ww.msn.com
live.com
login.live.com
match.com
msn.com
secure.shared.live.com
www.bing.com
…. If you decide not to follow this Important…Note***… advice and do not care about exposing your Browsing habits and privacy…User Preference…
This fix was done under the Î above Î mention conditions of removing search engines -plug-ins….
With-out the above conditions….?...
This fix is untested and may or may not work to resolve the “sign-out” issue of hotmail.com…?
Step ::
1. Silverlight Plug-In [version; 3.0.50106.0] =Install
• * This is the best M$_compatible version for Firefox {All}
• **Remember to “Prevent” Window’s update {Silverlight}..!!
• *** After Installing > In Firefox/goto ..>>... Addons..>>Plugins/ Silverlight..>>.. =Disable
• Current version is : Silverlight 5 (5.0.61118.0)
Step::::
2. Open Firefox / Install FlashKiller [1.3]
• This is the easiest “least radical and least intrusive” flash blocker available for Firefox
Step::::
3. Set Pref (about:config):
privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins = 3
This pref {Integer} can actually take four values:
• {Integer} 0: Allow ”all” popups from plugins.
• {Integer} 1: Allow popups, “but limit” them to dom.popup_maximum.
 You Must type in: dom.p = dom.popup_maximum
 * Default 20 will sign-out to MSN.com (homepage)
 ** Change to 1 will sign-out = You have successfully signed out of Hotmail (Sign-out page)….
 This is a “ user” preference…
o {Integer} 2: Block popups from plugins.
o {Integer} 3: Block popups from plugins, even on whitelisted sites
Step :::
4. Set Pref. (about:config):
image.animation_mode [string] = none [Default_Normal]
Resart Firefox
Step :::
5. In Firefox.
. Goto ..>>..options..>>Content {Tab}…>>>
Enable JavaScript (√/check)..
Click /Advance (button) …>>..uncheck All… >>>.. click OK…
Step :::
6. Restart Firefox
Step :::
7. Manually Type: hotmail.com {Address bar}
 Uncheck (Clear)…. “Keep me signed in” [box].
 Bookmark this Link: This is a “ user” preference…
Step ::::
8. Log-In (do your thing)
• Note .. Tab activity will look very busy and intermittent for a few seconds = normal
Step :::
9. Sign-out = Complete …”..???..”
• Note: Sign out will redirect you to MSN.com
• Confirm sign out complete and successful…
i. Close tab (MSN.com)
ii. Do not close Firefox
iii. Launch hotmail.com (Bookmark or address bar) again.
iv. If log in windows appears: and ask for:: address and password = This is Confirmation that log out procedure was successful..…..!!!
Important:
Again://// These harmful cookies (Beacon cookies / Candy cookies), are still Automatically created:::
bing.com
google.com
hmit.ww.msn.com
live.com
login.live.com
match.com
msn.com
secure.shared.live.com
www.bing.com
These cookies will “still” be automatically created,,,, “but” ,,, “NOW” have no affect on Firefox browser..!!
…. “Do Not”….
Do not …add these cookies to your exceptions list..
This is no longer a necessary procedure…..!!!!!....
And these cookies can be cleaned out = “still” be automatically created and does not have any affect to your daily / log-in and sign-out of hotmail…!!!!
Use Ccleaner for “maintenance” of Firefox & M$ windows.. and..to remove OS junk and to eliminate these harmful cookies…
Or clear your firefox history (periodically)…
If Neceessary..>>>
Step :::
10. Disable web site ad banners…:
Use Firefox Add-on / Stylish 1.2.6
or manually create or /edit userstyle (.css) file in “your” Profile Folder:
..>>>.. Create with Stylish (add-on) = Best option for “ all “ userstyle configurations..!!!

ITunes for Windows 7 64 bit, Windows Live Mail Contacts not (all?) syncing

I have researched this as much as I can but cannot find a solution.
I had my iPhone 4 synced to my Window Vista Home Premium PC using iTunes just fine until January when the PC motherboard crashed. No data was lost and all contacts have been restored to my new PC with is Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit). My contacts are in Windows Live Mail (Windows Contacts) and I'm syncing via iTunes with "Sync Contacts with: Windows Contacts" selected.
However, not all contacts are syncing with my iPhone. In fact, I'm not sure they are syncing at all, although the sync function goes through. It may be that the only ones that sync are those that existed before the new PC (i.e., the Windows Vista contacts which were in Windows Mail). I have created new contacts on both the PC using the new version Windows Live Mail and on the iPhone since the crash, and would like to get them synced up.
Symptoms:
1) Some specific contacts on PC are not on the iPhone after multiple sync attempts.
I have so far positively identified one contact that did not sync. It shows in Windows Live Mail under Contacts, however it does NOT show up in my Windows username/Contacts folder!
2) One Contacts group on PC is not on the iPhone, although two others are (they probably were from before the crash).
I have so far positively identified one group that did not sync. It shows in Windows Live Mail under Contacts groups, however it does NOT show up in my Contacts folder as a .group file!
3) The same group as #2 also does NOT show up in the iTunes group list under "Selected Groups" on iTunes, but the other two groups do. (I do not use "selected groups" because that disables "all contacts" syncing, but the groups are visible grayed out on the list.)
4) As a test, I created a new contact on my iPhone, synced, and it shows up now in Windows Live Mail Contacts; it also shows up in my Windows username/Contacts folder.
5) As a test, I created a new contact in Windows Live Mail and it does NOT show up in my username/Contacts folder. I synced the iPhone again and it does NOT show up on my iPhone contacts.
OK folks, where are these missing contacts going and how can I get them synced?? Thanks!
PS: I have the latest iTunes 10.5.3.3, no updates are available. However, Apple Support/iTunes seems to suggest Windows 7 64 bit either "does not use Windows Contacts" (which seemed quite wrong until I ran the tests above), and also that Windows 7 64 requires iTunes 10.4.1, which I cannot install because I have a later version installed. I would have assumed the correct version installed for my OS when I installed iTunes on the new PC. iTunes runs fine by itself and in coordination with my iPhone other than the above issue.
PPS: This site seems potentially relevant, however is highly technical: http://liveunplugged.wordpress.com/2011/02/04/windows-live-mail-contacts-databas e/
but doesn't help with this problem.

I didn't get any help on this from the forum, but from studying around and experimenting with different approaches, I have come up with the following conclusions:
Under Windows Vista, Windows Mail synced its contacts with Windows Contacts [which are in c:\users\username\contacts]. iPhone via iTunes synced with Windows Contacts. Changes to either Windows Mail Contacts or iPhone contacts would always update each other. Life was good.
Under Windows 7, Windows LIVE Mail (WLM) does NOT sync its contacts with Windows Contacts. It puts them into a hidden database. If you have prior Windows Contacts and brought them along for the ride, they are still there in the folder but they are not connected to the WLM contacts database
When you first set up Windows Live Mail, you can import your Windows Contacts and they appear to be synced. (In fact, they are, but only at that single point in time.)
If you change any Windows Live Mail contact or add a new one, it does NOT change in Windows Contacts. It only changes in the WLM contacts database. It therefore does NOT sync to your iPhone.
Similarly, if you change a contact on iPhone or add a new one, it will sync with Windows Contacts. However, this does NOT update your Windows Live Contacts.
So, from what I can tell, here is what this means: to maintain a steady state, you have two choices:
Whenever you update or add a contact, add it in either iPhone or Windows Contacts [the Windows Contacts folder has a "New Contact" button], and they will stay in sync with each other. Then manually update or add it in Windows Live Contacts to keep those up to date so you can use them for e-mail. OR
Whenever you update or add a contact, add it in either iPhone or Windows Contacts, and they will stay in sync with each other. DO NOT manually update Windows Live Contacts, but realize they are not always up to date. If an address needed for an e-mail is not in there, manually retrieve it from your Windows Contacts or your iPhone and insert it into the e-mail. [Having done that, you can right click on the address in the e-mail and add it to your WLM contacts if you want.] Periodically, manually delete all of your Windows Live Mail Contacts and then re-import your Windows Contacts into Windows Live Mail and, voila, your contacts are in sync again! (Isn't that great, I mean really awful??)
NOTE: If you follow course #2, DO NOT import your Windows Contacts into Windows Live Mail contacts without deleting your existing Windows Live Mail contacts, or you will end up with a double set plus the new ones.
FURTHER NOTE: I obviously can't make any guarantee you won't lose data if you follow course #2. Be sure you have a complete backup before deleting your WLM contacts. However, I will say that after experiencing a double set of WLM contacts (by failing to understand the first NOTE above), it was impossible to pick out the new items [WLM will now show you the date of entry or modification of the contact, so you can't sort by date], so I deleted all of them and re-imported my Windows Contacts and had a complete set again.
AND ONE FINAL NOTE: I have not tested how any of this affects Windows Live Contacts used online outside of Windows Live Mail, because I do not use Windows Live online.
Please post further comments if you have any more information on this topic.
