If I install a newer version of Shockwave Flash, do I need to disable the previous one I was using?

At work we use a calendar system that requires flash. My previous shockwave flash (comes with the desktop pc I purchased) was the Shockwave Flash 10.3.181.22
Following my superior's advise, I install the newer version, Shockwave Flash 11.6.0.626
I can't really tell the difference, but I'm content I have it installed.
I'm using Mozilla, and when I go to Tools --> Add-ons, I see both Shockwave Flash versions ENABLED. Do I have to disable the older version in order for the newer one to function properly, or do I just let them both be enabled as it is now?
Thanks for helping

Hi, You have Shockwave Player Shockwave Flash 11.6.0.626 which you have listed. Don't disturb that.
Adobe Flash Player is the browser plugin which you want to update. The latest version for that is 10.3.181.26 which was just released on 6/14/11.
You can update here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
  Use the EXE Installer for the plugin based browsers
Hope that helps,
Thanks,

    After downloading the new version of Shockwave

    I have just just installed a new version of itunes. When i tried to run the new version it came up with the message "The file ituneslibrary.itl cannot be read because it was created by newer version of itunes.
    I installed the new version because itunes had not recognised my ipod nano 5G, and told me to reinstall. Itunes selected which version to install, so I don't understand what is going on. To add insult to injury it installed a pile of malware which I am still trying to get rid off.
    Any advice would be helpful

  • The new version of Adobe Flash Player 11.5.502.110 does not display images in the flash movie.

    In the new version  of Adobe Flash Player 11.5.502.110 the images are not displayed. In previous versions they are displayed. Tested on several computers. This is not a local problem. This is a problem of Adobe. The bad news is that the early versions are very hard to find and reinstall it.
    Many different systems tested. And all browsers.
    Now there is no big image.

    hi i have noticed the same problem. also with Chrome and FP ver 11.5.31.2and Firefox and Safari with FP 11.5.502.110
    it seems that MovieClipLoader class not returning onLoadInit event. I use to add a fadein function on loadInit to fade in the loaded images. with the latest Flash PLayer versions this is not activated so you cannot see the loaded images.
    I have tested this on 3 different systems and the problem is the same. I have not updated my FP for IE. There, the older FP still works well.

  • Installing new version of shockwave

    So a new version of Shockwave was released last night, version 12.1.1.151. However everytime I try to install it I don't get the updates version, even if i uninstall and install it again it just installs the old version 12.1.0.150.
    This is not the first time this has happend to me that a new version is released but installing it just installs the old version, then several days later it finally installs the new version. Can someone explain why they state a new version number on the website when installing that new version will only work several days later?

    From where are you downloading the update?  I always get the latest installer when downloading from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/#sp (despite the fact that it say Shockwave Player 11).

    I have tried to just install the new version of itunes from the apple website, it looks like it downloads but after 5 minutes at the end of the install it says 'old version of itunes cannot be uninstalled, please contact support.'?  
    Is there anyway I can remove the version of itunes from my computer? i dont mind if i lose the music/content I already have on my itunes. I need to do this as i have just received the iphone 4 and need to install the newest version of itunes.

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • I cannot uninstall Firefox and it won't let me install a new version.

    Firefox will no longer open up so I can use it to browse. I tried downloading it to reinstall but it tells me I have to close Firefox as it is running. How do I do that? I've always used Firefox as my browser and now, it will not open so I've had to switch to Chrome or IE. I would like to have my Firefox back. How do I fix this? If I try to install a new version it repeats the 'close Firefox as it is running'. But yet, I am not using it as it will not open.

    I found out I have the same problem. Everything but New, Choose New Theme and open are available. However, when I click new or choose nothing happens. I've reinstalled twice but I can't find any answers.

  • TS1717 i tried to install a new version of iTunes on my PC (Vista) and it wouldn't install.  Today, I was looking for my iTunes, and somehow it was erased form my computer, along with about $130.00 worth of songs.  Wha Happened?  How can I get it all back

    has anyone ever had their apple ipod disappear from the computer?  Mine did when I tried to install a newer version on my pC (vista), yesterday.  Now I can't even see any apple icons on the screen or any other reference to my ipod tunes.  I have had them on the computer for more than 6-years, and have spent a sizeable sum with apple buying iTunes.  Help!

    One more note.  All my music on my iPhone was erased when I clicked on "Transfer Music from iPhone".  I mistook the "from" for "to".  I want the music to go from the PC to the iPhone, not the other way around.  I've sync'ed many times since the latest version of iTunes, so I know that doesn't work.

    I found information on how to transfer my itunes library to a new computer. I am going to use an external hard drive for this to transfer my itunes folder to the new computer.
    I will then download and install a new version of itunes on my new computer.
    My question is this. When I do this, will itunes have all my album artwork for all my library? My library has a lot of my own music and I have spent quite a bit of time copying album artwork that itunes did not add. I am really hoping I don't have to do this again!

  • This is the best method to install a new version of Studio!

    Do it cleanly. By this I mean create a new fresh startup disk for the install of Studio. Whether for Studio 1 ,2 or 3, trust me. this method will get you to a really stable FCS system.
    1. Backup everything you want to keep if you're using the same drive you've been using as your startup disk. Clone it if you'd like to save time digging around for the files you want to keep. Or buy a new drive for your tower and use it as a startup disk, keeping the earlier one until you've transferred all you need from it. (I have no less than 3 startup disks for my single tower here) One is a 250 gig drive, the other two reside on their own partitions of a second physical drive. I use one system for beta testing, reinstalling the OS each beta test, and one "working" system for daily real work environments, and yet another "backup" system which is there just in case I need it. (but never really do actually).
    2. Load your latest OS disk, and restart your computer from it holding down the c key during a boot up, or selecting it from the startup disk control panel in the apple system prefs.
    3. Once your computer starts up from the OS disk, select "optional installs" from the button you'll see in the window. From there select "erase and install" and install will begin.
    4. After the OS install, run Software update and go all the way with it. There's nada out there that's not OK to install.
    5. Install Studio. If it's an upgrade version, no problem to not install the earlier version you're upgrading from. Just have it's serial number handy because FCS will ask for it as well as the upgrade serial number.
    6. Run Software upgrade again to make sure all of your FCS apps are up to date. INSTALL EVERYTHING that Software Update proposes to install.
    7. You'll be a very happy camper.. it will also feel like your whole computer is faster because of this clean install of the OS you did...
    It's not impossible to get a fine upgrade done without doing it as I've described above, but with the latest round of problems being posted about a new install, I gotta say that this clean method will fix all the problems being posted here and elsewhere. Why even bother taking the risk? What I've posted above will be THE WAY to make sure you're system is running right.
    I've espoused this method of install any time you upgrade your OS (i.e., Tiger to Leopard or the upcoming Leopard to Snow Leopard upgrades about ready to hit us all) OR any time you install a new version of FCS or even a FIRST install of the studio. It's not all that time consuming, and running pro level software really demands that the system install is totally clean.
    I oversee about 75 FCS stations at the Colorado Film School, we do this clean install every semester (4 months) on the systems there, and really have incredibly stable setups. Never really having the problems that get reported all over the forums... not only that, they boot fast, run fast, and just work.
    When software companies test new versions of their software in beta, it's always asked by all software manufacturers to install their beta over a clean fresh OS... always... so there's a lesson here to learn from them, and also a hint: nobody chooses the "upgrade" button for a new version of said software, rather they are testing over CLEAN installs only. Makes perfect sense then to install new versions of software as complicated as this is over a clean new OS install.
    Jerry

    I fully support Jerry's advice. Though it is a little like the old auto repair manual I once had. If you looked in the section under "clutch replacement", it started out like this ...
    *Clutch Replacement procedure.*
    • elevate car - be sure to use jack stands to support vehicle
    • remove engine
    • with clutch pressure plate exposed ....
    Of course, they never spelled out all that was involved in the "remove engine" step. So, in the interest of adding more detail to Jerry's advice on the "erase and install" process for those who have not done it before and might be intimidated - read on.
    • Make a list of all Applications to install. Which ones do you need? Go through your Applications and Utilities folder and note which ones you'll want to reinstall. Note the version.
    (I don't know about you, but I had a shocking number of apps I downloaded, used for a few times and never used again. Forget installing these disused apps.)
    • If you are upgrading from a PPC to an intel machine, you'll want to know if the apps are UB or PPC. Upgrading your PPC software to UB can be a significant cost in a PPC to intel conversion. Know what you are getting into - do a search before installation to see if there is a UB version available. You can find out whether an app is PPC or UB by looking in System Profiler>Software>Applications. This window will also tell you the current installed version number. Generate a .pdf file of it and have everything listed for your records.
    • In the list, note whether is was a download or you have a disk. If it was a download, find the DMG or installer package and copy it to an external firewire drive. Put it in a folder titled - Apps to be installed - or something easily identifiable.
    • If you need to go back to a previous version (e.g. QT 6.5.2) download the dmg file BEFORE you start the installation process.
    • In the list, note if the application is a full install or an UPGRADE. If an upgrade, make sure you have the previous version's disks (as well as the serial numbers - see below).
    If the UPGRADE version does not require the previous version to be present - eg when installing the upgrade version of FCP 7, DO NOT install earlier software. All you'll need is the previous serial number. The way to figure this out is to try to install the newest version. If it needs the previous version present before proceeding, the install process will tell you that.
    Some upgrades will require that a version of the previous app is on the disk. If this is the case, when you install the first version, simply install the minimum so the app will be on the hard drive. You will need to do this because there will be NOTHING on the disk after you do your clean erase.
    • Referencing your list, find ALL your disks before you start. This includes previous versions if you are unsure whether they will be needed.
    • Spend some time looking through this forum for Professional Application installation issues. The classic example is a conflict between Logic and FCP. Install FCP first and you'll have no issues.
    • Sort your list into an installation sequence. Lay out your disks in that order.
    • Referencing the list, make sure you have ALL your serial numbers including those you've downloaded. I've purchased a number of programs on line and the only documentation of the serial number was an email. All those are kept in a dedicated folder in Mac Mail. For serial numbers that arrived via electronic means, use cut and paste instead of re-typing whenever possible. This will prevent errors in transcription.
    In making the list, TEXT EDIT works ok, (I use Excel). Text edit has the benefit of being easily readable on any mac. Print the list out for reference, put a copy on a flash drive or a firewire drive where you can access it to cut and past serial numbers during the installation process.
    • Recognize this is going to take some time. Ranting, drinking too much coffee, swearing, sitting in front of the computer watching the progress bar, etc will not make things go faster. All it will to is put you in a really bad frame of mind. Do it over a weekend when you can be multitasking. While you are cleaning off the mountains of paper on your desk or raking the yard, you can take regular breaks to check on progress.
    Process -
    • Download Carbon Copy Cloner or one of the other backup utilities and do a full backup of your existing system drive to an external firewire drive. Make the drive bootable. *Do not* cheap out on this as this is your insurance policy. If you forget something or can not find a serial number, you often can find it and copy it from the backup system to the newly installed version. Or, if things go horribly wrong, you can simply copy the old system back to your computer and pick up where you left off.
    If you have a MacPro or G5 tower, an alternative to cloning your existing system disk is to pick up a new hard drive to use as the clean new system disk. Your existing system disk will be the clone.
    • Once you have gathered and organized all the materials and backed up the drive or installed the new system drive ...
    • Insert your OSX installation disk and boot the computer from the disk (Jerry explains how)
    • Erase the hard drive. Use the ZEROs option as this will map out any bad sectors. This will take time. See the note above.
    • Install the OS. If it is an upgrade install, see the note above regarding upgrade installs. Repair Permissions and then run the updates. Repair Permissions.
    • Install your applications following your list. Make sure to Repair Permissions after each install and update..
    Have fun, be prepared for a few minor glitches. If you multitask, you can get the garage/ or office cleaned out and your computer rebuilt. In all honesty, this process took all weekend plus time in the next week as I discovered apps that needed additional updates, configuration settings, etc. No doubt it would have been faster if I was sitting at the console the whole time, but I was able to get the office cleaned up and organized (which also makes ME much faster). Overall it was a very slick process.
    When you have a fully functioning system again (you have tested all applications and everything works), CLONE the new system and put your info, your notes and the disks in a safe place - once you've done this once, why go through the pain of organizing this stuff again ...
    Now, rejoice in a much faster machine with a lot more free disk space.
    Cheers,
    x
