HT3777 Can my previous software for Quicken, Family Tree Maker, Turbotax be used on the MAC?

I have Microsoft Office 2011, Turbotax 2012, and Quicken that I recently bought for my PC. Quicken 2012 just purchased a month ago.
I have now replaced the pC with the Imac. Do I have to get all new software? The apps dont seem to have all the features of the software I had before.

Microsoft Office 2011
That would have to be Office 2010 since 2011 is the Mac version.
But no, nothing you have will run natively in OS X. Just as nothing written (compiled) for the Mac will run in Windows.
You will either need to purchase Mac versions of your apps, or install Windows on your Mac as either a stand alone bootable partition, or in a virtual machine such as Parallels. Doing the latter will allow you to run Windows within the OS X desktop so both are available at the same time. This works well for apps that don't need a lot of system resources, but trying to run most Windows games in VM would be a lesson in futility.

HT1338 Can anyone tell me how to find what OS I'm using on the Mac? Tiger or Leopard? Also, how do I update from 10.6.8 to the latest version?

Tiger or Leopard?
Also, how do I update from 10.6.8 to the latest version?

Go to the Apple menu and select "About This Mac". You will get a window similar to this one -
You current OS X version number will be shown as I've marked.
OS X 10.4.x is Tiger, 10.5.x is Leopard, 10.6.x is Snow Leopard, 10.7.x is Lion, and 10.8.x is Mountain Lion.
Whether or not you can go to the latest OS X version depends upon your hardware -
You will need to purchase the retail set for the OS X version you want; there is no pint in getting and installing any intermediate versions. Once the retail version has been installed, you can update it to the latest release for that version via download updater.

Developer Adobe Flash Player 10.1 r52 embedded in Family Tree Maker 2012 & 2014 - Vulnerability

Here is the issue.
I have Windows 8.0. Flash runs fine on the Internet Explorer - no problem.
But I have a third party software company (Family Tree Maker v. 2014) which has a flash .exe file that is outdated and causes a vulnerability (per Kaspersky).
The version of flash embedded in the program is Adobe Flash Player 10.1 r52. The file name is "Tutorial_PC.exe" and is 6,311 KB. Under file properties under the Details it states the file version as 10.1.52.14 (also it is the same for Product version). I also see the original file name as "SAFlashPlayer.exe".
A Date Modified is 8/5/2011.
Is there not an updated developer version of flash that is secure and doesn't produce vulnerability flags which either I can exchange with this version or Family Tree Maker can rebuild their new software with?
Thank you

Could it be the standalone Flash Player (Projector)? Does it play local .swf files?
If so, you can download the latest version from https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
If indeed your SAFlashPlayer.exe is associated with .swf files, then you need to change the file association to the newly downloaded standalone player.

What has caused an app I purchased (Family Tree Maker for Mac) and currently have installed, to disappear from the Mac Store. Does this mean it is no longer sold? If so, how will I get update notices or re-download if needed?

I purchased and installed Family Tree Maker for Mac from the App Store about 6 months ago. I heard that possibly a new version was coming, though I had not received any update notice. I went to the App Store and it no longer shows the app, either as available for purchase or as an app I have previously purchased. So I can't get any information on the app, support, etc.. How can an app I have purchased disappear from the purchased list??? How can I get update information or support links? (contacted FTM website and phone support and they said if I bought my program from App store, I have to get update information there).....the Update Info button in my program is actually greyed out!! So the program I bought doesn't even have the normal update link!! I thought one of the advantages of App Store purchase was being able to redownload the program in the unlikely event it was lost....ie: no need to worry about having the install CD. So now I only have my installed, operating copy and no way to reinstall if it crashes due to corrupt data, etc.!! Not a happy result from an App Store purchase! And I must say the circular references in the support link are frustarting...apparently there is NO live support for the App Store itself!

Thanks for THAT tip: iTunes acct. history DOES show my (few) Mac app purchases, buried in with my MANY iPhone and iPad apps! So I CAN prove I bought it (7 months ago, not 6), but you wouldn't know it from the App Store app on my Mac! But that does leave a few other ?'s hanging: like how could I download it again, or check for updates (as I said, the version installed has the "update" button greyed out! Ancestry.com (who sells it online and support it for other buyers said update info for App Store purchasers comes through the App Store.
I may just be out of luck with this because after 7 months of ownership, they (Ancestry) just replaced FTM with a new version (Family Tree Maker for Mac2) that is NOT an upgrade (though prior owners get $4.00 off on a $52.00 purchase!!). I'll probably just plump for that....direct from Ancestry.com...and give up on the Mac App Store, because the new version reportedly has major enhancements in sync-ing your family history record between your computer and the cloud program available online. Genealogy software, like everything else is migrating to the cloud, but one really does need a resident program on their device because you're often collecting data "in the field" in libraries, historical archives, cemeteries, etc. where you really can't get online in many cases. Fortunately, more and more of the source data is coming online, so more and more can be done from home!

I can not perform software updates or download any programs. They appear in the download box as images that are not recognized. How can I fix this?

I can not perform software updates or download any programs. They appear in the download box as images that are "not recognized". I thought maybe my antivirus software was setting up a firewall, but I have disabled it, so that's not the case. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this?

If the downloads are gone, it's possible that Windows is removing the downloads based on security policies set in IE. I realize that sounds strange, but it's related to Firefox's feature of submitting downloads to your virus scanner and marking them as having come from the internet.
To test this theory, you could try disabling the scan feature. I assume you have good "real time" antivirus protection which checks every file saved to your hard drive. (If not, you really should get that, and you can use Microsoft's free [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials Microsoft Security Essentials] for now until you have time to review all the available choices.)
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''scan''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' to toggle its value.
Firefox now should ignore Windows' download security. Does it change how Windows handles the file?

Epson software install problem: The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software." But i have downloaded from Epson and Apple!!!

I am trying to install a printer Epson xp-605 but when i try to add it, Apple says it can't find the software. I have downloaded the software from Apple website and also from the Epson installation disc! The message is: "The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer’s manufacturer for the latest software."

Try a reset of the printing system. This often resolves the symptom you are experiencing.
