I have silverlight installed but it will not work.

I have silverlight Version: 5.1.30514.0 installed on a Toshiba Satellite running Vista Home Premium SP2 64bit.
I use this everyday for work. When I came in this morning. It wasn't working so naturally I looked for an update I ran the installer from the website which uninstalled Version: 5.1.30514.0 and attempted to install a 64 bit version. (I can not
determine whether my current version is 32 or 64 bit). It said it was not compatible with my OS (even though it is listed to be compatible under system requirements).
So I re-installed Version: 5.1.30514.0 through windows update but it will still not work.
Any ideas on how to fix this? The website that uses it is vital to my job. I really need to quick fix that isn't talking my company into buying a more up to date computer.

I've encountered a similar problem with Silverlight on my Vista PC.
Several weeks ago I read a brief item stating that Google would be dropping support for npapi and that it would affect Silverlight in April. One of my key daily apps uses Silverlight, but I didn't receive notification from that software's author about
the pending change and how it would be handled. Successfully used the app every week (Mon-Fri) this month for 8-10 hrs/dy day (as I've been doing for the past ~5+ years: past year under Chrome, year before that under FireFox, ~3 prior years under
IE) and on Fri 4/17 shut it down for the weekend. When I booted up on Mon morning and tried to log into the key app however, it prompted me to download and install Silverlight, acting as though I never had it installed! (And in fact, I couldn't
find it when looking under > Control Panel > Programs and Features!)
I recalled the earlier warning about Google dropping support, so I closed Chrome, started up FireFox, but got the same prompt from the app -- it directed me to install Silverlight. I downloaded it (had no choice as to which version, just got the "Silverlight_x64.exe"
file) and got part-way through the install when this error msg popped up: "Unable to Install Silverlight. Your operating system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight". WHAT?! According to > Control Panel
> System, I'm running "Windows Vista Home Premium", with a "System Type: 64-bit Operating System". I've been using this same Vista PC since Sep 2008 and running Silverlight for around the past 5 yrs.
Can someone explain why the Silverlight installer code doesn't deem Vista worthy of running its latest and greatest version?
Is there a way to get an older version of Silverlight that will run under Vista?
Is this just another means to a forced OS "upgrade"?
Thanks in advance for any helpful comments.

Hi there Earlsdon28,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

Am running Vista and it shows Adobe flash player 100% installed but it will not work. I have uninstalled numerous times and still no luck. Had success on older computer running XP. I have searched the net and attempted numerous options but to no avail.

Adobe Flash player states it is installed and gives the current version but when I attempt to view a video it tells me to download the newest flash player however it showed I have installed it.
When I go to uninstall programs it does not show any files have been downloaded for the program... so I have uninstalled; restarted; re-installed under administrator; turned off any virus protection and firewalls... etc.
Basically I have tried everything I have seen posted.
I need help!!!!

Do you have NoScript or Flashblock or some similar Extension installed? If so, are you allowing the site, at least on a temporary basis, access by such an Extension?

Need to know your Mac model. If it's a PowerPC, the max OS is Leopard 10.5.x. If it's an Intel procesor, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (for $29) & later to Lion.

Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store *but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753)*.

ITunes is installed but it will not start

I just updated iTunes and the progam shows as being installed but iTunes will not start.

I have had this problem - started two days ago. (Win 7 Enterprise 64-bit OS.) I have not added anything new recently that could cause a conflict (upgrades, new software, etc). Suddenly it didn't work - will not open. In Windows Task Manager I can see that it starts and then stops without opening. I've plugged in my IPhone, IPad and IPod and nothing will connect. Some forum threads suggest removing/reinstalling QuickTime and some have found that to work. Didn't for me. It will open if "Run as Administrator" is used, but that - according to threads - suggests third-party add ons as a problem. Not the case with mine. I completely removed all of the ITunes software (Bonjour, Mobile Support, etc.) and reinstalled. Nothing changed. I am so frustrated with Apple on this - I found nothing in the support discussions to help. Quite frankly, I do not understand why Apple, with tech equipment that is so well designed and elegant, still puts out such a lousy piece of software that you are held hostage to use. I have hit a wall - I hope you get a response and help! I've run out of ideas!

I have downloaded the latest Adobe Flash - it says successful but will not work. It says to 'Manage Plug-ins but the Plug-in says it is enabled but it will not work at all. I have tried disabling and then enabling - no success.

There's two different versions of Flash. The ActiveX version for IE, and the Plugin version for other browsers. Did you install the correct version? This forum's software doesn't thing that Flash is installed for Firefox or the Plugin is disabled.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro, I am trying to run MW3 but it will not work without crashing a few minuets into the game. The general specs on my computer are a dual processor 2.53 ghz. 4 gb ram and a NVIDIA geforce 9400 (9600 is the alternate card)

Things to note:
I have been unable to update firmware on this computer for about a year now. Im not sure why.
I am running a bootleg copy of Windows XP on this computer, I would not like to spend $149 to get Windows 7 if possible.
any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Why don't you take your 'old' MBP into your local Apple Store and have them check out everything that's wrong with it - and I mean everything? Then, when you get an estimate about how much it would cost to get the machine completely repaired, ask about the Apple flat-rate repair pricing?
It's worth a shot - and with what you may save, you can put in the bank for a new MBP.

TS1398 I have an iPad 2 that is updated and using 6.0.1. It is connecting to my wifi just fine. I just purchased a 4th generation iPad. It shows it is connected to the same wifi, same strong signal, but it will not work. HELP!!!

I have an iPad 2 that is updated and using 6.0.1. It is connecting to my wifi just fine. I just purchased a 4th generation iPad. It shows it is connected to the same wifi, same strong signal, but it will not work. HELP!!!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I have tried to update my iPhone using the iTunes method but it will not work. The message "The iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later," appears. What do I do? The Internet is working fine.

Have you tried the following troubleshooting document?
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
If you end up using the If the iTunes Store opens successfully section of the document, and the "Automatically detect settings" checkbox is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it and clicking OK.

I have Pages 09 but it will not save a document. I have tried clicking on all the options but I keep getting an error message that the document cannot be saved. Any help?

Hi lv,
This may help. File > Export > PDF or Word or RTF.
At least that will save your work.

HT201412 ipad screen will not slide. Tried resetting and a factory reset but still will not work.

ipad screen will not slide. Tried resetting and a factory reset but still will not work.

I have the same issue on my Ipad Air. Screen will not rotate, I have reset the settings, still only displays in the portrait mode. A couple of interesting things though. a couple of days before it completely locked up into portrait I would have to turn the ipad off and hold it in the orientation I wanted because it would not change orientation after I was in an app.
Also, I just played a Netflix video and it was in landscape mode.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

You'll have to get it serviced or replaced again, contact Apple, usually a replaced device is under warranty for 90 days as well.

Have Thundbolt on my mac will not work with my thunderbolt drive

I have a port on my Imac, but it will not work with my ThunderBolt Drive

Agree on cables, you don't want something generic when it comes to thunderbolt in my experience. It's thos accessories that add up and they are profitable for a reason. Cheap isn't always good with accessories.

I'm trying to add album art to a CD I imported but it will not work. The album art will add to other albums but it won't show on the album. The CD is imported from Japan, didn't think that would be a problem. Does anyone know a solution?

Vanguard,
You are welcome. As I gather you have now figured out, any of the other formats (AAC, MP3, AIFF, or Apple Lossless) can handle artwork just fine.
Enjoy the music!

HT1409 I have done this but it does not work with one of my albums and I dont know why??

That would be it. Sometimes you can tweak the album & artist names enough for iTunes to download matching art from the store, or you could add a bonus track featuring 1 second of silence and attach artwork to that, or you could convert the files to Apple Lossless.
