anything with flash on any of my browsers (Safari, IE)
and it just keeps on running in circles...like it tells me to
go to the download page and then i would download it and install
the software, but after installation, it directs me to the
macromedia pages and it says:
"The page “Macromedia - Flash Player” has content
of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you
don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in
should be available on this page:
https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer
Do you want to open the page?"
and when i open the page. it's just the page where I
downloaded the Flash Player...
it just keeps going back in circles after i've done it like 8
times already!

that "either your javascript is turned off or you do not have flash
player installed" something like that!!!! SOOO ANNOYING!
and there isn't any help on the forum at all!!!!
anyways. i'm with Mac OS X 10.3.9 on a PowerPC Powerbook

Are you using any MS Office third party Add-ins? Test: Remove third party Add-ins other than PDFMaker. Test to see if the MS Office apps run afterward.
Did you attempt to repair MS Office? Test: Go to Add/Remove Control Panel run Repair.
Finally, have you tried testing to see if it's PDFMaker? Test: Use the Add/Remove Control Panel to modify the Acrobat installation to remove PDFMaker. See if MS Office applications launch and behave correctly?

Thank you Shootist007. I cannot do even Update now. I probably should have spent the same amount of money on a new IMac!
No not really. If this is a brand new Macbook Pro take it back for a refund. Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund.
Take it back, get the Full Refund (DO NOT LET THEM TRY TO FIX IT. YOU BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER NOT ONE THAT HAS BEEN WORKED ON OR NEEDS TO BE FIXED) and then decide whether to buy another Macbook Pro or the iMac. Or you could return it, get the Full refund and buy some other brand computer.

I can not open anything with out the DEP message coming on. My computer will not allow me to run Adobe Reader.

It's impossible to open any Adobe message without the program shutting down. I've tried to change the DEP but Adobe will not allow it. I can't open anything.

Try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
Note that Reader XI is not officially supported on Vista; Reader X (10.1.10) is the latest Reader version for Vista.

"Acrobat.exe- Bad Image" error message, Can't open anything with Acrobat

I have Acrobat Pro 9.0
OS Windows 7
Just started having this error problem show up within the past couple weeks.
Every time I try to open a document the browser freezes up for a few minutes (and I've tried on two different browsers), wont load the page, then I get this message:
Acrobat.exe - Bad Image
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\ Acrobat\BIB.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error.
I have had this program for several months and never had an issue.
Haven't changed anything I can think of...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
I also tried just opening the program directly and got the same message.

My Acrobat 9 Pro freezes constantly. Seeing a pdf inside mutiple browser is not possible. Most of the time Acrobat 9 Pro and Acrobat Reader X starts within 5 min! As soon as I do anything, the top bar that shows "File", "Edit" etc. dissapears and averything freezes! Security software with possible firewalls I've uninstalled. Un- and re-installing Acrobat doesn't change anything. I'm using MS Windows XP, running Adobe CS4. Making any pdf's is no problem. I just can't see them. I can open a pdf inside Illustrator but that goes page by page. Any help?

My trackpad can't open file with double click

i don't know what's going on, but my trackpad can't open file with double click. i have to open it with right click, open or open with. i've tried to fix it in the system preferences, it didn't work out well.

William - you are wonderful! I had looked at that - they were set to 'internal' which seemed like RH...but selecting the 'design view' and then reselecting 'use default editor' instead of 'auto-select editor' did it. THANK YOU!!!!!

My track pad stopped working with a single finger/double click when I try to open emails, and when I try to open apps on desk top. If I use two fingers, and then click open, I can open them. Thank You for your help.

Greetings ascnephew8,
It seems your trackpad isn't working as you expect it to. Have you reviewed the trackpad settings in System Preferences? The following article provides trackpad setting details which may help:

Once I'm in a site I can not open anything in that site, Such as paying a credit card was able to click on the calendar & pick a date, now all I get when I click on the calendar is a blank page.

Everything works great with Internet Explore So I know the problem is FFox. Going on for about 2 weeks now. For example trying to make a calendar with shutterfly. Once I click on upload, to find my photos I get a blank page, Banking site, click on the a check # was able to see the pd check front & back now all I get is a blank page. Can not open anything within a site. Already made sure Java & Adobe Flash is up to date.

Hi There Linc Davis,
Wow, you are the best.
Yip this is what the website looks like. Great job Linc Davis.
Not surprised that the "Shop" tab is missing. Darn.
Well can you try to access it's "sister" website: astralmusic.com and astralmusicshop.com?
Since you are awesome with the "Flash" can you investigate if this website has a issue withis this "Flash" too?
Please Linc Davis

I can't open anything on my desktop, can't right click either. Please help

I hope that someone will have a simple solution to my problem. I need you to speak to me like a 10 yr old about this computer!! To start out I found the computer screen locked on my daughters FB page. The mouse works, but the computer won't let you click on anything. I had to manually turn computer off and restarted. My desktop comes up, however I can not open anything! And my Safari Icon is gone, and the firefox icon that I use for work purposes, has changed to a question mark. Please let me know how to procede!!

More details, please. Did you simply install Lion over the top of the Snow Leopard installation that was already on your Mac, or did you do something else?
How are you trying to open those things? What happens when you try?
Can you select anything on the Desktop? If you do that and invoke the menu option File > Get Info, what's the first thing you see under "Name" in the "Sharing & Permissions" section of the resulting window?

I am trying to create a ringtone, when I right click and and go to get info I can't open anything under options. Itunes is not allowing me to do anything under options including changing the start and stop times. ??

Can't open anything on desktop by clicking on it...

As of this morning, I find I can't open anything on the desktop by clicking on it. I have to click on it, and then go to File--->Open
I'd be grateful for any suggestions. Thanks!

Reapply the Combo update...
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html
Repair Permissions afterwards, reboot.
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if the Disk Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows what could happen!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

Double clicking on a region to open it no longer works...

After installing OS 10.8.2 I have problems with Logic 9.1.8. If I double click on a region in the Arrange window, it used to open on the lower part of the Arrange window so I could edit notes, velocity settings etc. Now, when double-clicking, the lower part opens for very short time (0,1 second) and then disappears. I have deleted prefs files, restarted the iMac etc., but nothing helps. - What should i do? Is there any other way to open a region in the lower part of the Arrange window?
I just discovered that I have the same problem when double clicking on instruments. They open for a very short while (0,2 sec) and then close. This means that I can't adjust parameters in the pop-up window (instrument, filter etc.). Very strange. I remember I had this problem some weeks ago, but it disappeared. Not now.

A few ideas..
Have you checked your mouse/trackpad settings in System Preferences.... in case something got messed up there... as it sounds like an input device issue in some ways
Also, check Logic Preferences/General/Editing and make sure that Double Clicking a Midi region Opens... is set to Piano Roll (Even if it is.. try unchecking it.. close prefs.. and recheck it again..)
Finally, you said you had trashed the pref files.. which one(s) did you trash? Did you also trash the CS one too.. as it could be related to a control surface issue.. I mention this because a client of mine had an issue after installing an iPad Controller for Logic... If you have an iPad/iPhone.. make sure the iPad/iPhone is powered off (Not just asleep) and test after that too...

Snow Leopard 10.6.2 CS4 InDesign can't open files with a "#" in file path

Snow Leopard 10.6.2 CS4 InDesign can't open files with a "#" in file path using any of these perfectly normal methods:
1. double-click file in the Finder (e.g in a Folder on your Mac or on your Mac desktop etc.)
2. select file and choose "File... Open" command-o in the Finder
3. drag file to the application icon in the Finder.
4. Select file in Bridge and double-click, choose File.. Open.. or Drag icon to InDesign icon in dock.
If you try to open an ID file named with a "#", you will get an error message "Missing required parameter 'from' for event 'open.'"
This happens to any InDesign file that has a "#" (pound sign, number sign, or hash) in the filename or in the file path (any parent folder).
To reproduce
Name an InDesign file Test#.idd Try to open it in the Finder or Bridge (as opposed to the "Open" dilaog of InDeisng itself).
"Solution"
The file WILL open using File... Open... command-o while in InDesign application.
Rename the file or folders that have a "#" (shift-3) in the filename.
Report to Adobe if it bugs you.
This does not occur in "plain" Leopard 10.5 nor Tiger 10.4
Untested in Panther or before and
Untested with CS3 and earlier in Snow Leaopard.
Anyone have those and want to try this... ?

In case this really bothers you: we've added a workaround for this into Soxy. If you enable the option, these documents will open fine on double-click.
You need Soxy 1.0.7 from:
http://www.rorohiko.com/soxy
Go to the 'Soxy' - 'Preferences' - 'Other' dialog window, and enable 'Open InDesign via Script'
(Irrelevant background info (it's all invisible to the user): the workaround works by special-casing how Soxy opens documents in InDesign: instead of using AppleScript, Soxy will use ExtendScript to instruct InDesign to open the document - which works fine).
