I have Mac OS 10.6.8 - "flash plug-in failure" now mostly continuous. A user 2wks ago suggested in thread: remove .xpt in apps library. Wonderful then! Now plug in

I recently bought & downloaded Mac OS 10.6.8 — "flash plug-in failure" in SAFARI 5.0.5 now mostly continuous. A user 2wks ago suggested in thread: remove .xpt file from apps library. I did that and mac was working wonderfully then!
Now plug in and download failures are awful, as in frequent. What do I do??? Please help. I am running an iMac 24, that's about 5 years old.

Hi.. Ms. Bee from Delaware. Its just an opinion.
I seriously doubt, if 90% of the users have no issues with Safari and feel comfortable using it. There could be something wrong with your statistics here... oh yeah..
Please try to Google search : "a Flash malfunction Magnet"
I do agree that, most Adobe flash based programs crash on a Mac. But, its Vimeo's fault to adopt flash.
The majority of the internet community use flash content/plugins. Unfortunately not HTML5, that Safari is good at performance in comparison to Flash apps.
10% of the 3rd party internet Enhancers like Ms.Apple Developer should transform the Flash community.

I have Mac itunes and a touch 2G. My wife has Win7 and touch 4G (both iOS 4.2.1). She got a new iphone, I now have her touch 4G, and am trying to sync it to my Mac itunes. The music and videos sync to the 4G, but apps & podcast will not. All are checked to sync. During sync, it gets to "determining apps to sync" then immediately goes to "finished syncing". No apps or podcasts from my Mac itunes are on the touch 4G.

You can only sync to one iTunes library but you can manage music and videos among different computer/libraries.
It appears that you are trying to sync with a different library.
- If you want to make the Mac you syncing computer:
--- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by:
iOS: How to back up
--- Restore the iPod from that backup. Note that synced media like apps and music are not in included in the backup.

Hi, I have Mac with Snow Leopard and was trying to purchase Lion , so I can move to I cloud, when trying to buy the app I get a message that a minimum 2gb of memory is required. I went check the hard disck info and it says available memory 20gb :-(

Apple Logo, left hand side of the menu bar, About this Mac. It should be right there. If not then More Info, Sys Info.
But it would seem you don't have 2GBs installed and more then likely both RAM slots are already filed. So you just need to buy more RAM in a pair. That could be 2 1GBs chips or if your Mac can have more then that then 2 2 GB chips or 2 4GB chips.
Get your model # and go to Crucial.com and use their memory search to find out how much your Mac can have installed and the price for it. I suggest you install as much as it can take. Cost is very low on RAM these days.

I have Mac OS 9 on a flash drive. How can I transfer it to an OS X computer?

Do I just drag the System Folder over? I don't want to partition the hard drive, though.

Yes, just drag it over - no cloning required with OS 9.
However - do not expect your iBook G4 to be able to boot to that copied OS 9. All iBook G4 models can not boot to any version of OS 9.
Provided that the OS 9 system folder is for OS 9.2, 9.2.1, or 9.2.2 and is a complete OS 9 System Folder (that is, was bootable on the original machine it came from), it should work fine as Classic under OS X 10.4.x.
If the OS 9 System Folder is one originally copied from an OS 9 Install CD, it will not work as Classic.

My Adobe trial for Photoshop Elements 10 for the Mac was over and I wanted to buy the application. The screen message was "Your trial has expired...but the fun doesn't have to end! Buy now to continue using Photoshop Elements 10 without having to download or re-install. " and then the button "Buy Now". When I hit the Buy Now button I am put in a field to buy Photoshop Elements 13, with no way to change to Elements 10. I do not want to go through the hassle of reinstalling etc. In fairness, it's been over a month since making the decision to buy. Still, I consider this a nightmare. Any ideas on how to buy the app I've got withou having to purchase a whole new one? Thanks.
If worse comes to worse, will I need to uninstall the trial if I buy a new version? Can I use part of it lime download assistant?

Adobe does not sell older versions of their software. If you wish to purchase an older version you will have to find and take your chances with a third party vendor.

Flash Plug-In Failure

A little over a month ago, I updated to the latest version of Flash Player and it suddenly stopped working properly. Some items work, some give me 'plug in failure'.
Works: Netflix, about 50% of YouTube videos
Doesn't work: the other 50% of YouTube videos, non YouTube videos, most embedded audio files
It's driving me crazy.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash 11.8 (more than once), including a clean uninstall making sure there are no leftover files in other locations on the computer.
I have uninstalled and installed older versions of Flash. I think it was 10.3 that worked for awhile, but now it seems all older versions say 'blocked plug-in' because apparently I "don't have the latest security updates" and should "update to the latest version of Flash". Frustrating, for obvious reasons. I have tried several older version including 10.1, 10.3, 11.1, 11.7, and all either give 'blocked plug-in' or 'plug-in failure'.
I've seen that other people have had similar issues but none seem to have been resolved.
I've anyone knows a solution OR an alternative to Flash Player, I'd really appreciate it. Is there an alternative to Flash Player? Are we really relying on just one plugin for so many things that just lets an issue like this sit for over a month without doing anything about it?
I am using a 2010 MacBook Pro, OSX 10.6.8 (willing to upgrade if that really is the problem), and the problem is consistent in all browsers: Safari 5.1.9, Firefox 23.0.1 ("The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed"), not really a Chrome user I was having other issues with that I can't check right now, but it seem Safari is not the problem.

It seems it does actually work with 10.3 on Firefox only, so long as I do a clean uninstall and download the most recent 10.3. Safari still says blocked plugin and if I click it it just tells me to download the latest Flash.

We have developed a desktop application using Flash software and published the same for MAC environment. When we double click on the index.app file, the application is working perfectly in Mac 10.6.7 at our office. But if the same index.app file is double clicked in Mac 10.6.7 at out clients location, its not opening. For your information the client is able to open this same application by double clicking on index.swf file. The main problem is that client is not able to open the application using index.app file at their office whereas we are able to do so at our office. Can anyone give some suggestions to sort this problem?

The most common reason is different versions of Flash, or different versions of web browsers used. Some users may elect to not have Flash installed at all because of the processor overhead of Flash. If you are going to make an application for a client, check what operating system and browser versions they are using first. Then determine if a stand alone application is required, or if they have the necessary plugins to run specific browser enhanced code.
P.S. MAC is an acronym for Media Access Control. Mac is the shorthand for Macintosh, the operating system and computers made by Apple Inc.

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.

I have a new mac mini I5 - I cannot find and copy Maverick onto a flash so that I can install on the other 7 iMacs - don't want to download from App store to each machine

I have a new mac mini I5 - I cannot find and copy Maverick onto a flash so that I can install on the other 7 iMacs - don't want to download from App store to each machine - files too big
Please assist

You need to download it on one of the iMacs via App store but not install since after it installs the installation download gets deleted.
After it is downloaded you can copy to a USB device. You can also make a bootable USB install device by:
downloading and using DiskMaker X

Dear Adobe.
Yesterday I installed the latest version of Flash Player that auto appeared on my screen. Ever since I can not play video, and my system has become painfully slow. I have Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 and software is up to date. Before this everything was running beautifully. Can you please provide a link so I can uninstall the latest version only. Thank you. Stephen Kress. Melbourne. Australia

When you run the uninstaller, it will uninstall all Flash Player versions.
If you want to revert to an older version after that, get it from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

I have Mac OS X 10.4.11 with 600 mhz PowerPC G3 how do i get Flash Player 10.3.183.20 (65.7 MB) power pc processor

i have Mac OS X 10.4.11 with 600 mhz PowerPC G3 how do i get Flash Player 10.3.183.20 (65.7 MB) power pc processor?

Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

So you launch Safari and what? Provide a link to the google site that's not working for you. Update to the latest version of Flash Player. Make sure it's on in System Preferences>Flash Player.
