How do i download silverlight for my macbook?

I was watching Netflix and all of a sudden it said i needed to download the latest version of Silverlight.
i clicked on the link, downloaded it, it said it installed successfully and all i had to do was reopen safari.
but when i did that it still said i needed to install Silverlight. i keep retrying to download it but nothing seems to work.
This is happening with Hulu as well. im not sure what to do and im worried my computer is crashing.

Never click links offered by third party sites.
If it says you need a plug-in, go directly to the original vendor's website (in this case MicroSoft) and get it from there.
If you're now experiencing crashes you may have downloaded some malware.
For more info on Silverlight with Mac, read some of the threads in the "more like this" panel to the right of your post.
To check for malware, start with http://www.reedcorner.net/news.php/?p=355

These refer to an exploit using fake Flash Player downloads, but it's perfectly possible they're using other vectors.

  • How can i download office for mac from a disc to my macbook air?

    how can i download office for mac from a disc to my macbook air?

    You have four options that I know of.
    1) Use an external DVD drive that will work on the MBA. (Apple's external Superdrive for MBA)
    2) Use a remote disk connection, using another Mac with a DVD drive, and sharing the drive with the MBA.
    3) Download Office from Microsoft's website, and then use only the registration code that came with your DVD purchase to authorize the registration.
    4) Copy the contents of the Office DVD to a USB flash drive, using another computer. Then install from that flash drive.
    Maybe someone else has an idea, if none of the above will woek for you.

    Alibutlerdesigns you will use the same process to install on your second computer.  You can copy the installation files using a USB drive if you do not wish to download the installation files again.

    Go to a Office type store or online and buy a copy of Windows  7 Home Basic, Home or Pro  (whatever) and stick the 64bit DVD into the computer.
    You'll have to first learn about Bootcamp  if your going to want to dual boot, it's complex and a hassle, but gives full hardware performance.
    https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Another way is to first install VMFusion, Parallels or VirtualBox and then install Windows into that, Windows runs like a file in a window on OS X. You can run Windows programs in that, but it's not as powerful as BootCamp method, but more convenient for most normal (non-hardware taxing) programs.

  • How do I download Safari for Mountain Lion?

    How do I download Safari for Mountain Lion? It's not in the App Store, it is nowhere on the Apple website . . . OK, so I guess it is supposed to be part of Mountain Lion, but I am running Mountain Lion and whatever version of Safari I ended up with would not even run at all . . .  so I trashed it (or at least what part of it I was allowed to trash) and though reinstalling it would be a good idea . . . but I can't find one to reinstall. The latest version I can find is for Leopard, and of course that won't run.
    Not to mention that since getting Mt Lion, iPhoto won't run . . . it produces an error message saying I need to check with the developer to make sure it runs with this version of OS X! So I wonder who the developer of iPhoto is, who produces software that is incompatible with Mt Lion???
    And even in submitting this there is no option to tag it for any OS later than 10.7.4!!

    Since Safari is crashing, post a crash report...   reinstalling the OS X rarely helps a browser crash issue.
    If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash  information.
    Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.
    Please include the "binary images" section...

  • How do I download iMessage to my macbook pro?

    how do I download iMessage to my macbook pro?

    mr. lanny i went into the app store on my mac book pro, and typed in messages but that never came up
    And it won't come up, becuase it's an app that comes with Mountain Lion and Mavericks. It's not something you purchase separately.
    Mountain Lion is OS X version 10.8
    Mavericks is OS X version 10.9

    There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one which has already been described is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
    Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
    Choosing the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod ( for example, around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB Mini or Nano). You can read more about playlists at these links:

  • After creating a form, how do I download it for further editing with Adobe Professional XI?

    After creating a form, how do I download it for further editing with Adobe Professional XI?

    This is probably a new precaution that Apple has taken to alert folks that something has occurred with their account that has not occurred before*, namely a Mac has downloaded something from their account that has not done so before. And as the notice says, if it was you doing so, then you may safely ignore the notice. Also, do not be alarmed, Apple refers to all downloads as purchases, even when they are free.
    But if you are truly concerned about the notice then you can authorize the Mac with your iTunes account, which should be the same as your MAS account. Open iTunes on the older Mac and sign into your account. Then in the Store menu choose Authorize This Computer. Now this Mac is definitely associated with your account and can now play media that you purchase from the iTunes Store as well.
    *My banks do the same thing when I pop up making a purchase with my bank cards somewhere in the world I have never made a purchase before. They call me and email me and want to know if it is indeed me using the card.

  • When I begin to attempt to download the windows support software in boot camp, it says the windows support software is unavailable. Is there any other place I can download it for a Macbook Pro 5,5 intel core 2 duo without the original CD?

    When I begin to attempt to download the windows support software in boot camp, it says the windows support software is unavailable. Is there any other place I can download it for a Macbook Pro 5,5 intel core 2 duo with snow leopard without the original CD?

    Hi,
    apart from the MacBook Air this feature is of no use for other Macs right now.
    Simply ingnore it (click "I already have the Drivers...) and continue with the installation.
    Sorry to say but you need the OSX Install DVD for the BootCamp Driver installation.
    The 3.0 version of the BootCamp Drivers is only avaiable on the disc.
    Later updates (3.1 and 3.2) can be downloaded from Apples Support website.
    Call Apple and ask for a replacement and they usually send you one for a small fee.
    And have the Serial-Number of your Mac at hand when calling.
    And since the OSX Install DVD can also be vital for maintenance and repair it is best to have one.
    The needed BootCamp Drivers are on the OSX Install DVD 1 that came with your Mac.
    Insert that disc while in Windows after the Windows installation to install the drivers.
    Regards
    Stefan

    You don't download it.  it is built in to your iphone, unless it was originally purchased from one of the Middle eastern countries where it is not allowed.
    You should not leave your e-mail on a public forum.
