How do you do a clean install of adobe air for Lion

I have deleted the adobe air files but when I try and re install I get the message that adobe air is already installed. I am trying to download BBC iplayer and i think this adobe air file is corrupted
Is there a code I can use or a link to adobe air uninstaller for mac
any assistance would be appreciated, thanks.

try switching off automatic graphics switching, in energy saver (system preferences) and try again. you can switch it back on again after the install.

  • How do you do a  Clean install lion

    How do you do a clean install of lion? My iMac is 8 yr old and has gotten sluggish. At one point it was suggested that I might want to do a clean install but no one ever told me how to do that since we don't have a disk!

    Assuming you already have Lion installed, boot into Recovery Mode (Command-R). From there you can reinstall Lion. Note, however, that a clean install means you first erase the drive you want to do the clean install on, and unless you have a complete backup of everything that's currently on it, you'll lose it all; the clean install will leave you with a fresh operating system but nothing else. To get it all back, make that external clone, then when the clean install is finished on the internal, Setup Assitant will run and you can point it at the external clone to get all your stuff back.

  • How to record a time-limited video with Adobe AIR for iOS

    I am trying to record a time-limited video with Adobe AIR for iOS.
    For example, I want to implement the following function. Start a one-minute timer before launching CameraUI to record video. When the timeout event happens after one minute, stop recording video, close the CameraUI view and obtain the video data so far.
      I have several questions related to that.
      1. How to stop recording video from outside the CameraUI view(in this case, from the timeout event handler) and then close the CemeraUI view? As far as I know, to close the CameraUI view, the only way is to press the [Use Video] button or the [Cancel] button from inside the CameraUI view. Is it possible to close it from outside?
      2. Even if the first problem mentioned above is solved, then how can I get the video data so far(in this case, the video data before the timeout). I know that normally we can get a MediaPromise object from MediaEvent parameter of the  complete handler, and read the video data from the MediaPromise object. But obviously in this case, we can not access the MediaPromise object just because the complete handler itself will not be executed since the [Use Video] button is not pressed.
      3. Is it possible to add a stopwatch to show possible remaining recording time when CameraUI view is open? It seems that the CameraUI automatically uses the full screen of iOS device(in my case, iPad) and there is no extra space to show the stopwatch.
      Are there any solutions or workarounds about the three problem above? I really appreciate it if anyone has any idea about this. Thanks in advance.

    You'd have more control by using the Camera object, showing the camera on a video object inside a Sprite, and capturing that. Then you could put whatever graphics alongside it on the stage.. I've used FlashyWrappers in a test to capture the video to the library.  It took some work, but the test worked well...

  • Can you play/view swf files on adobe air for android?

    Hi, yes; I'm new here, as well as to Adobe Air, and I'm still trying to learn the ropes around here, and I apologize in advance if this has already been asked, or I have placed this question in the wrong forum.
    The thing is, I was wondering if it was possible to play my SWF files via adobe air for android; and if so, how? Thanks in advance either way.

    Can you please give directions where can i clear that cash.
    Anyway i don`t think its the case, because this is first time i hooked phone to internet, and first time i launched Android app store.
    Edit:
    I went to https://market.android.com and there is Adobe air app. But when i try to download it says that my device doesn't support it (Samsung Galaxy GT-I5500) By default it comes with android 2.1 and doesn't support Adobe air, but i upgraded firmware to 2.2.
    Maybe that is the reason it doesn't show me Adobe AIR in app store - based on my phone, not my Android version ?

  • HT1338 how do you perform a clean install for imac

    How to perform a clean install for imac, because I cannot upgrade to version 10.6?

    Here are the technical requirements for Snow Leopard:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/sp575
    If your iMac meets the requirements, then you will have to purchase the Snow Leopard disk from apple:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    To reinstall your OS, insert the original OS disk that came with your iMac and start up the iMac holding the C key.  Start the installation process and when you see the menu bar, select 'Utilities'. From the drop down menu, select Disk Utility.  Erase the HDD and the continue the installation.
    Note that this will erase all data on the HDD so have it backed up before you start.
    Ciao.

  • How can I do a clean install of Mountain Lion?

    I have an older MacBook Pro that I'm selling. I upgraded to Mounbtain Lion, but there was not an option to do a clean install (wiping everything clean and starting fresh). I want to do this to make sure all of my data is removed before I sell it. How can I do a clean install of Mountain Lion in order to accomplish this? In the past, from DVDs, it was easy. Thanks!

    Sure, but I would imagine that it will be common for people to sell their Macs with upgraded OSs.
    That was only OK when you bought the Upgrade DVD and included both the original system discs and the disc you used to upgrade the OS.
    Since Apple has now gone to the Download only model of OS X you now always need to install the Original OS or an Upgraded version that you have the DVD disc for.
    If a Mac came with Leopard and you upgraded to Snow Leopard and then to Lion or Mt Lion you must remove Lion or Mt Lion and reinstall either Leopard or Snow Leopard and include all the discs for that system, Originals and the Upgrde Snow Leopard DVD.
    If your system came Snow Leopard and you installed Lion or Mt Lion thenn again you remoeve Lion or Mt Lion and reinstall Snow Leopard and include the original discs that came with the system
    If your system came with Lion and you upgraded to Mt Lion then you remove Mt Lion and reinstall Lion.
    The reason for all of that is because with the Download only OS all upgrades are TIED to YOUR Apple ID, not to the computer. So the new owner can not reinstall Lion or Mt Lion, whichever you upgraded to, without using your Apple ID.

  • How can I do a clean install after doing an update using a volume purchase license?

    My question is this:  We purchased 20 licenses of Lion through the Volume Purchase program.  2 of the users installed it first doing an upgrade - now they have decided they want to do a clean install.  How can they do a clean install - I can't give them the installer cd we created because I have been informed by Apple Sales that it will use another license from our quantity of 20 - but they offered no other solution.
    We would rather not waste another license just to do a clean install.
    Thanks!

    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
    This method relies on the Internet Recovery system. This is the standard procedure when you don't have an installer or Lion came pre-installed.

  • How do I do a clean install of Mountain Lion?

    I already have Mac OS X Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro A1126, but how can I do a clean install on it? Do I have to buy a installation disc or from Mac App Store?
    Thanks in advance!

    I differentiate between a 'clean' installation and a 'fresh' installation by this meaning: a 'clean' installation means that you're going to erase the boot drive and 'cleanly' install everything, including OS X anew, whereas, for me, a 'fresh' installation means only that you're NOT going to erase the entire drive, but only install a 'fresh' version of OS X.
    So which do you wish to do?
    Either way, you should just be able to boot into your Recovery partition (hold down the command and R keys whilst booting) and then either install a 'fresh' version of OS X, or erase the contents of the drive, using Disk Utility, and do a 'clean' install of OS X.
    Mountain Lion does not come on a disc - you should have purchased it via the App Store and you may need your Apple ID to install again from the Recovery partition.
    Does that help?

  • How do I do a Clean install of Tiger and Classic?

    My G4 came with Jaguar. OS 9 was part of the complete installation, that you could install or choose not to install. My computer has been having a lot of issues lately and I think that a clean install would be a good idea, especially, since I used an upgrade to install Panther and then installed Tiger on top of Panther. I want to install classic and Tiger. How do I do this properly? Thanks

    I plan to back up my personal files and any
    downloaded software I have.
    Amazing that. You've told us that numerous times, but
    you've failed to provide us with information on
    HOW you're going to do this. That is, please
    explain WHAT you're using for the backup and
    WHERE you're planning on using to store the
    backup.
    All Power Macs come with the capability of burning CD's today. Mine can also burn DVD's, so backing up MY files is NOT a problem. I just can't clone my whole drive. Now, I'm not sure how this is pertinent in answering my question about how to properly do a clean install of Tiger and be able to install Classic. My son however, just told me he thinks that all I need to do is to clean-install Tiger. Then, insert the installation CD with classic on it that came with my computer. Find the invisible file, which is a disk image and drag the contents of the disk image to my computer. If anyone can tell me if this is correct, I would appreciate it.

    how do I do a clean install from Lion download ?
    My old tower will only stretch to Lion which I have had to download and installed it following the instructions.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you are already using OS X Lion, use OS X Recovery to reinstall OS X and erase the disk. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    Follow these steps:
    1. Make a backup of the data you don't want to lose after erasing the hard disk.
    2. Start your computer holding Command and R keys to start in OS X Recovery, and open Disk Utility.
    3. Choose "Macintosh HD" or the OS X partition in the sidebar, go to the Erase tab and erase the disk.
    4. Close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X

  • How do I do a clean install of iTunes ?

    how do I do a clean install of iTunes ?
    One of the guys at apple support suggested I do this after I upgraded itunes - now it shuts itself down after 2 seconds !!!
    When is apple going to fix this ?

    Is there something Apple needs to fix? While you and a handful of other people are having problems there are  millions of others who do not come here and post simply because they are not having problems.  Given the complexity of computers there is likely some small file that is not being installed properly or there is something else you have installed that is conflicting with other software, or your computer file management is having problems and something is not where it should be.
    First, I would check if it is really a problem with the application. You do not provide details on what is happening so it is hard to help.  Try starting itunes in Safe Mode:
    iTunes Safe Mode - http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20090915214613484
    iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430 - hold down the Option and Command keys (on Mac OS X) or holding down the Shift and Control keys (on Windows) while opening iTunes
    If that doesn't help (short-term), restart normally but hold down the option key and make a new, blank library.  If itunes starts that way then you have a corrupt library file and it will need to be rebuilt (more information later if that is indeed the issue).
    If you're determined to reinstall itunes, I don't know if this works with Lion since I believe they really tied itunes into the operating system rather than leaving it as an independent application, but try dragging the iTunes application in your Application folder to the trash, then empty the trash.  Back up your computer before installing any new software.  If the update does something you don't like this is the only way to revert.
    Verify your hard drive with Disk Utility's First Aid.  If it reports problems then that has to be dealt with before you do anything else.
    Use Disk Utility to repair permissions.
    Download the update from Apple.  Some of us don't use Software Update to actually update, just so we know the installer file is safe and sound on our computers for use.
    Install the update.
    Repair permissions again.
    Restart your computer.
    There are also preferences files that could be the issue. Those are hidden from you in Lion and again, it's a separate post on how to deal with those.

  • How to migrate iBooks after clean install

    I want to do a Yosemite 10.10.01 clean install on my MBPr. Before that I make a SuperDuper copy so that I can restore some date . Yet I do not know how to do  this with my iBooks.
    Can I just copy ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books ?
    PS I d not wish to us the Migration Assistant as it will restore all sort of data I d not want back on the clean install drive.
    Thanks for your kind help !

    If you don't want to do the migration again, you can also use this to modify the account name you have right now.

  • Can you do a "clean install" after an auto update install of 10.10?

    Can you do a "clean install" after an auto update install of 10.10?
    If yes, how?

    I suppose it depends on what you define as a “clean install."
    You can erase the startup drive and install Yosemite in Recovery.
    Boot into Recovery (cmd-r on startup).
    From there, use Disk Utility to Erase the startup volume (Macintosh HD).
    Quit Disk Utility, then Install OS X.
    You should obviously have a backup prior to attempting this.

  • How do I do a clean install, and keep mail accounts?

    A little background: We have several Macs, and several email accounts. We're buying new machines and on some would like to mostly start over, using the App Store to install programs as each machine requires, cutting out a lot of the disk loading.
    The most important goal is to get a fresh install, BUT keep all the various Mail accounts (let's establish that as a starting point). BTW: All our machines have the same Mail accounts across the board.
    What I'm getting so far is a bloated HDD when I try to upgrade directly over Snow Leopard, and a nice tight machine that lacks the Mail accounts when doing a clean install.
    SPECIAL REQUEST: I normally appreciate when people take guesses about offering solutions, BUT in this case I would appreciate it if answers addressed the specific question of preforming an almost clean install that retained all the email accounts, their configurations, and their messages. I realize that the solution request here may be a bridge too far, but I thought I would ask because I suspect a lot of people moving to the mid-2011 MacBook Air might need such a solution too.
    Thanks in advance!
    Chris

    Found the answer elsewhere.
    Working with 2 machines; original one with Snow Leopard and the source email accounts/messages/etc., and a second machine with a Clean Install of OSX 10.7 Lion loaded to a fresh or reformatted hard drive. In my case, coming from a 24" iMac (320GB HD) that had the source email accounts I wanted to keep, and going to a new mid-2011 MacBook Air with 128GB HD.
    Long story short, starting from the "user"/Library/... account on the Snow Leopard machine, 3 things have to be copied to the Lion machine and placed in the same directories:
    /Keychains
    /Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    /Mail (folder)
    Keep in mind that the user Library is a hidden folder in Lion.

  • Clean install from Leopard to M. Lion on new disk

    I have a late 2007 MacBook Pro with 10.5.8 and a too small disk. I just purchased a 500GB internal disk. I'd like to do a clean install from Leopard to Mountain Lion using the new disk. What is the recommended procedure? I'd like to avoid the extra step of installing Snow Leopard first as documented.

    Well, I wouldn't do it that way, too many steps.
    I would:
    1. Clone your current drive to the external drive, instead of using Time Machine. (Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper)
    2. Boot from your external drive, update it to Snow Leopard.
    3. Purchase and download ML from that external boot. Save a copy of the installer to a location other than the Applications folder, that way it won't be erased after you use it. (verify that you've made a copy and not just an alias)
    4. Install your new drive, format it.
    5. Boot from your external, run the ML installer, select your new empty internal as the install destination, when prompted, use Setup Assistant to migrate your data from the external to the internal.
    6. When done, you should have a fresh install of ML on your new internal and a bootable SL on your external as a backup. If you decide that you want to go back to SL, you can just erase the internal and clone the external back to the internal.
    Note: You don't need to make a bootable USB installer, they're too slow anyway. Just keep a copy of the ML installer on your external, bootable drive, so that you won't have to download it again.
    Another option: Since you're replacing the intrenal with a 500 Gig drive, you could partition it to two 250 Gig partitions. Put ML on one and SL on the other, i.e.,
