i have mac 10.6.8 and safari 5.1.10. on checking help website i am told latest flash player 16.0.0.305 is already installed BUT does not appear on my list of applications and am unable to access websites requiring it. have also downloaded flash player installer app but unable to download the flash player itself. can anyone help? thank you!

Hi Anne,
Your version of Safari is still supported.  Please see Adobe Flash Player | Tech specs for supported OS and browsers.
If the Flash Player plugin is in the Plug-ins (disabled) folder it's because it's an older version that Apple has disabled in Safari.  This has nothing to do with whether or not Flash Player supports the browser.
I'm not sure what you mean by "when i click on flash player itself i am told there is no application to open it."  Flash Player.plugin only works in the browser to view Flash content in the browser.  The plugin does not open files outside of the browser.  If you have SWF files you'd like to view outside of the browser, then you'll need the Flash Player projector. However, based on your previous comments this doesn't appear to be what you are trying to do.
Google Chrome does embed Flash Player in it, while Firefox does not.   Mozilla has also recently started blocking older versions of Flash Player in Firefox similar to what Apple is doing in Safari.
Following the 'clean install' instructions should result in you having the latest version of Flash Player installed that will not be blocked by the browser.

    Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Test after each one. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Make sure that the right volume is selected in the Startup Disk preference pane.
    2. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up. If there's no change, reconnect them
    3. Reset the System Management Controller.
    4. Reset the PRAM.
    5. Start up in safe mode, then restart as usual. If you can't start in safe mode—for instance, if FileVault is active—then triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /var/folders
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with an item named "folders" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password. Restart and empty the Trash.

    Call apple or take it into an Apple store. What's wrong is beyond a user fix.

    Update to above question:
    Hello All,
    To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
    Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
    Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
    Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
    When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
    All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
    So this fix worked for me.
    After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
    I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.
    Bob

  • My iTunes card won't redeem and when I try to it comes up with this "The gift certificate or prepaid card code you entered has not been properly activated. Please contact iTunes Store costumer support for assistance" can anyone help me?

    My iTunes card won't redeem and when I try to it comes up with this "The gift certificate or prepaid card code you entered has not been properly activated. Please contact iTunes Store costumer support for assistance" can anyone help me?

    Is the store that you bought the card from nearby so that you can try going back and asking if they can activate the card properly ? If it's not, or if they can't/won't activate, then you will need to do as the message says and contact iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt)

  • HT201328 I have iphone 4 with virgin mobile canada, virgin provided me SIM unlock code online, but i don't know how to use that code to unlock my phone. Can anyone help me in this?

    I have iphone 4 with virgin mobile canada, virgin provided me SIM unlock code online, but i don't know how to use that code to unlock my phone. Can anyone help me in this?

    That's not how unlocking an iPhone works.
    The carrier the phone is locked to submits a request to Apple, wh updates their database. When that is complete, you restore the phone with iTunes to process the unlock.

  • TS1702 I have been using "Numbers" on my ipad 2 for about 2 years. Today it kicked me out a few times and now won't let me in at all! I have tried restarting the application but don't want to uninstall it as 2 years of data on there! Can anyone help?

    Can anyone help me get back into my numbers App please?

    I have simply been backing up to iTunes using the sync function.
    My most recent backup using that method was a bit too old. To get a more recent backup of my data, I decided to do another sync backup before uninstalling Numbers from my system.  (I did have the sense to copy the previous iTunes backup to another file folder on my PC before making that last sync - just in case I need it.)
    Is there some way to extract Numbers spreadsheets from the iTunes sync backup? I haven't found any way to access these spreadsheet except by using Numbers. Since Numbers isn't working, I seem to be stuck. I did find some software that extracts a variety of data from iTunes backups but it doesn't extract Numbers data.

  • HT204089 I have a samsung smart TV and record free to air TV shows on my TVO I would like to purchase from iTunes a TV series called outlander but do not know how to transfer and save the episodes on my TIVO I will be using my iPad to purchase and downloa

    I Have a  samsung smart TV  and use TVO to record  free to air programmes .
    i would like to purchase from iTunes using my iPad , a TV series called outlander but do not know how to transfer and save the episodes to my TIVO
    please help

    Many videos in the iTunes store are protected so that they can only be viewed on Apple Devices signed into your iTunes account.  If that is the case then your TiVo will not be able to read the files.  If you know how to get a video file onto your TiVo from a flash drive, then just plug a flash drive into your Mac and drag one of the videos from inside the iTunes window onto the icon for the flash drive on your Desktop or in the left sidebar of a Finder window.  That will copy the actual file onto the flash drive.

  • TS1424 Cannot access "device section...can anyone help?

    Cannot access the "device section":...can anyone help?

    Hi ScarletKnight,
    I gather from your question that the Sidebar is missing in your iTunes application.  Your device will be listed in the Sidebar. If you have iTunes '11 (click on iTunes > About iTunes), the article below will explain how to show that section of the iTunes window:
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    Show or hide the Status Bar and Sidebar
    In iTunes 11 you have the option to turn the Sidebar and the Status Bar on or off; they are off by default. To do this in the menus, go to:
    Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
    I hope this information helps ...

  • Anyone ever have their itunes just disappear? Icon is still on the dock but nothing happens when I click on it. Music is still on computer. Can anyone help?

    Great to have an Apple community with knowledge to help.
    Can anyone help with the question above.
    Should I just reinstall itunes? If so will I just be able to transfer my music back into the program?
    Thnx in advance community,
    Satiya

    The icon in the dock is just a pointer (alias) to the application, not the application itself. If that pointer gets confused or broken the app won't open. Right click (control-click) the dock icon, select Options, then select Show in Finder. This should reveal the iTunes application in your Applications folder. Double click the actuall iTunes application and see if it opens. You could also open the Applications folder and see if iTunes is still there.
    Let us know what you find.

  • My updates are showing i have 2 apps to update but wont connect to show what apps need updating just goes to a blank screen can anyone help

    My updates show i have 2 apps to update but when entering the app store and clicking on update it goes to a blank white screen and wont load.
    I have reset my wifi so its not that i have also tried it on a different wifi can anyone help please 

    iOS 4.2.1 is the final version of iOS that an iPhone 3G will run, so you will not be able to use any apps that require iOS 4.3 or later. There is no way to get any later version of iOS onto your iPhone without serious hacking, something we cannot discuss here.
    You do not get the option to update iOS directly from an iPhone until you have iOS 5 or later.
    Regards.
