I evidently need to install Flash, but having done so, it behaves still as if I didn't. I have the new i7 iMac (and I see from some other forums that Flash installation has been a problem for some time.

I evidently need to install Flash, according to everything animated I've tried to view, but efforts to do so have been unsuccessful (or it's installed but not in the right place? ) I see from forums I've visited that this is an ongoing issue with iMacs--I'm surprised since it's a download on Apple that it just doesn't come with the setup...and why is it so troublesome to do? (Weird for something so basic these days not to come with the newest, fastest, etc. iMac i7...)

If you are hang issues you can try calling AppleCare, you have 90 days of free telephone support. If they can't figure out the solution you need to contact Adobe, it's their product. Apple has announced they are moving towards HTML5 and away from Flash because it's so antiquated. It is also no-longer pre-installed on OS X so you need to download as you have found out.
You can try some basic resets to see if you can get it to work. I'd first recommend restarting in Safe Mode to clear some caches. If that doesn't work reset both the SMC and PRAM to see if that helps.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

HT1338 What's going on with iCloud (MobileMe)? I'm able to sign in here, but I can't access mail on my Macbook Pro, iPhone, or work computer. I always get an authorization error (user-id or passwork wrong). This has been going on for almost a week now.

The single download means that you won't be able to redownload it from the store without paying, either on a computer's iTunes or an iOS device - it doesn't stop you from copying the audiobook to your other computers or syncing it to your iOS devices, you just can't redownload it. (I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time download.)
You can download audiobooks on your computer's iTunes and sync them to iOS devices, you do not have to buy them directly on the device (if you do then you can copy them back to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the device and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option on your computer's iTunes).
What you are doing to sync them should work i.e.
- connecting the iPad to your Mac
- selecting the iPad on your Mac's iTunes
- selecting its Books tab and selecting the audiobooks that you want to sync to the iPad and syncing/applying that selection.
You should then get an audiobooks option in the Music app on your iPad. If they aren't appearing there then do they show in Settings > General > Usage > Music on the device - if you have audiobooks on the iPad then they should be listed there under an 'audiobooks' heading.
By 'restart the iPad' do you mean a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
You could also try closing its Music app via the iPad's taskbar : Force an app to close in iOS.
And do a soft-reset and retry syncing.
I assume that music and other items sync ok ?

I have the new iPhone 5s and at the top of the phone it has the 2 arrows going around in a circle as if something loading , but there is nothing loading that I can see. Help!

It did not come from Apple. Do not click on the link and do not supply your password. It is a scam. You can report the phishing email to Apple here:

Can two Apple IDs be linked so that they can share data? My iMac and iPad have the same Apple ID and sync contacts, bookmarks, etc. My wife's iPad has a different Apple ID. Can it be linked somehow to mine to share contacts etc?

No. You cannot link your contacts to hers. However, you can use Home Sharing to share the information:

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

what can i do? My iphone 4 screen went black but its still on. I know how to reset it but my top power button has been jammed in for months now. So does anyone know what i can do to try and get my screen back?

Bring your phone to Apple for evaluation and replacement. It's broken. There's no magic we can provide you.

I have a new MAC Pro and transferred files from a PC. Now I have about 100GB of real information but 300GB of other which I can't ID from summing up each folder and sum of applications, music, pictures etc. What could be occuping the 300GB OF OTHER??

I have a new MacBook Pro and used the tool to transfer information from my HP Computer to the MAC during set up. THe size of the disk space used on the HP was about 200GB. Now I have 400GB used on the MAC. I have added up all the folders and applications etc. and they total only about 110GB. On the summary the "other " category shows over 300 GB. What could it be. I would like to recover the space.

Does an iTunes backup not include the calendar?
The backup was from mid-september and I think iTunes was the latest version at the time..

Help needed to install Flash Player : 'Non-Current Release' problem!

I been encountering problems while trying to install Flash Player on my laptop running Windows 7.
Originally Flash Player does not work as I understand it is not supported on 64-bit Internet Explorer.
After installing 32-bit IE, the following issue of 'non-latest version' arises and all installation were aborted by the application :
The below were steps I had taken to no success.
1. Via the 32-bit browser, downloaded flash player un-install program and did the uninstallation with success.
2. Rebooted the laptop.
3. Via the 32-bit browser, downloaded the flash player version 10.0.45.2 from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.
4. After downloading it automatically did the installation with 100% completion.
5. The program proceeded to activate the flash player with a webpage saying if the flash player is working properly, I should see a video and Flash Player's logo.
6. Before anything was displayed, an error message popped up to say I was trying to install a non-current version and that I should go to same webpage to download the latest version. The activation was then aborted.
Tried many times but always encountered same problem and hence cannot proceed to use the flash player.
Need assistance to diagnose the problem and to get Flash Player working on my laptop. Appreciate any help to get it working.
Regards.

Thanks to efforts of eidnolb and Bob, the installation of flash player into my laptop is now working .
Bob's installer enabled the download successfully.
Eidnolb's link in post 6 trigggered me that I may have previously installed the pre-release version 10.1, thereby leading to the 'non-current-version' problem too. Post in that link adviced to uninstall 10.1 using the pre-release uninstaller.
I suggest others who had encountered this non-current release to uninstall first using that specific uninstaller, before attempting to install the most current release. I may have installed the 10.1 pre-release in desperation after failing numerous times trying to figure out why flash player does not install in browser not knowing its currently-non-support of 64-bit browser.
Once again thanks for support, eidnolb and Bob.
Cheers.

Firefox does not load images on any website. This has been a problem for years

It's not clear why. but only Firefox does not load images on web pages. Works fine on IE
Follow all the troubleshooting steps at
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_don%27t_load
no of it works. Never has. I see this problem all over. It's the main reason that users don't switch to Firefox.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox

Disk erase needed after USB flash drive has been connected?

Hello. I apologize beforehand if this is a stupid question. Unfortunately, it looks like I'm going to have to return my new iMac because of a faulty screen. I have held off transferring files to see if the screen would be problem-free, but at one point I did connect a USB flash drive to my iMac. I copied just one file onto my desktop. My question is: when the flash drive is connected and files show up in the Finder window, does that mean there is now a lasting imprint of those files on my hard disk, even if I haven't actually copied them onto the desktop? I ask this because the flash drive has some sensitive data on it, and I'm debating whether or not to do a 7-pass erase before returning my iMac. Any response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you mean the Finder window showing the contents of the flash drive, no, there's nothing retained on your Mac from that collection of files once you dismount the flash drive.

I'm trying to finalise the purchase of a calendar off of iPhoto and it won't proceed because my "credit card information cannot be verified". Has been a problem for over 12 hours. And I've tried an alternative card. Same story.

Is this an Apple Problem? I seem to have pay for technical suppor from Apple. Would like it to be as easy as: ring and pay over the phone.... no such luck

For the Australian Print Products Store see: http://store.apple.com/au/help/print_products
Check the link "Payment and Security" on that page.
My iphoto is older version and doesn't have the setting of print products store.
How old? You will need at least iPhoto '09 to buy print products.

I keep getting email from Apple telling me that my account has been suspended. It looks genuine but I am having my doubts.

Hi. I keep getting emails supposedly from apple telling me my account has been suspended. I am probably worrying about nothing. Has anyone else been getting these.

If in doubt send them to Apple at [email protected]
