How do I re-install Safari adobe flash drive?

How do I re-install the adobe flash drive? We have had it for years and now it is gone. Message says "missing plug in". We have tried to un-install the old one and re-install the new one for the past many months. Our computer is a Mac, OSX, version 10.5.8, safari. Everything else works great on the computer.

Depends on what Mac you have:
You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc 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.

What is the easiest and best way to install or open flash drive in Sarfari on my Macbook Pro...2010 model using mountain lion

what is the easiest and best way to install or open flash drive in Sarfari on my 2010 macbook pro using mountain lion?

There is no really good way to do what you want. Any tracks you purchase via your own iTunes Store account are for your personal use, tied to your iTunes Store account, and can't be given to anyone else. If you don't want to gift the tracks to her and can't access her iTunes Store account, the only option other than creating her a completely new iTunes Store account (which will require a new email address for her) is to buy the CDs those tracks are on.

How to install (using usb flash drive) os x snow leopard on 10.5?

i have a version 10.5 (leopard), but i would like to install snow leopard (10.6). i tried using bootable usb flash drive using the "utility drive". However, it did not quite work as i expected. Does anyone know how to use bootable usb flash drive to install snow leopard on leopard?

How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current Leopard installer DVD. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Insert the USB flash drive.
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "OPTION" key.
Release the key when the boot manager screen appears.
Select the icon of the USB flash drive and click on the arrow button below the icon.
When the installer finishes loading follow the onscreen instructions.

Can Onone softs DSLR server app be installed on a flash drive

Onone soft has an app to control your camera remotely using your iPod or Ipad. The sotware is in two apps: one app is installed on ios device and the other app is a server app that is installed on the Imac. Your mobil device connects to the camera over a local WiFi. When I take my camera to another location I would need to install the server app on the clients computer in order to remotely trigger my camera. It would be much easier to plug a flash drive in the clients machine with the server app on the drive. It would also allow me to have the Windows version of the server app as well as the Mac version on flash drives.

You need to ask the develper, if all you want to do is transport the app to another computer then you need to ask the developer if this is infringing on any of their licensing which I'm almost certain it is. If you want to try and run it from the flash drive this probably won't work. You need a portable Mac such as a MBP or MBA.

[SOLVED] Clarification on LUKS system installed on USB Flash Drive

I'm trying to install Arch with LUKS on a flash drive. To do that, I have partitioned it as follows:
# blkid
/dev/sdb1: UUID="EA15-01CE" TYPE="vfat"
/dev/sdb2: UUID="23b2be0d-7eb8-48e1-9da6-bd56f7bfd741" TYPE="ext2"
/dev/sdb3: UUID="1bf28f95-fd45-4b02-806b-2338f95eb22d" TYPE="crypto_LUKS"
/dev/mapper/cryptroot: UUID="30d10da4-62d3-440d-af9e-0bd79b6fb8fb" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sdb1 is a 600 MB FAT32 partition for data, /dev/sdb2 is an ext2 /boot partition, and /dev/sdb3 contains the encrypted root.
The wiki article on installing Arch Linux on a USB key states that I need to have udev rules for specially mounting th root filesystem, since the drive mappings can change (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ash_memory). Do I really need to do that, since it is already being mounted into /dev/mapper? My grub2 configuration looks like this, does it seem right?
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Arch"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="cryptdevice=/dev/disk/by-uuid/1bf28f95-fd45-4b02-806b-2338f95eb22d:cryptroot"
... rest is the default /etc/grub/default/ ...
I've already added the "encrypt" hook to mkinitcpio.
Also, here is my fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/mapper/cryptroot / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
/dev/disk/by-uuid/23b2be0d-7eb8-48e1-9da6-bd56f7bfd741 /boot ext2 defaults, noatime 0 2
My question is, does this seem okay? I cannot test this right now since I only have access to an old Fedora machine which I am not allowed to reboot.

Well I think it looks ok, but I would change fstab into this:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
UUID="30d10da4-62d3-440d-af9e-0bd79b6fb8fb / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
UUID=23b2be0d-7eb8-48e1-9da6-bd56f7bfd741 /boot ext2 defaults, noatime 0 2
Probably your GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX will work too.
Altough I use this in my grub.cfg
linux /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/mapper/ch-ro ro cryptdevice=/dev/sda2:ar ro quiet

Installed itunes - usb flash drive no longer recognized

hi,
I installed itunes, loaded up the ipod with music, and now my computer will no longer read the files off my usb flash drive. the computer sees the "mass storage device" when I plug my drive in, but the volume/files are not coming up.
any suggestions?
thank you!

Are you sure the files are still on your Flash drive.? Can you locate them in a folder on you flash drive just by going to the iTunes\iTunes Music folder and viewing the array of folders? If they are there, go back to the iTunes icon on the desktop, bring up the list of tunes, highlight them all, delete them, and go back to the Flash drive, highlight all the folders, drag them over to your blank iTunes screen and drop them. You won't get any indication anything is happening right away but they are reloading. For some reason iTunes cannot update itself with the correct pathways.
Hope this helps, Dave.

Boot camp install from USB Flash Drive

Hi Folks,
I recently purchased a new Macbook Air. It has 10.8.3.
I used the Boot Camp Assistant to set up the computer for Boot Camp. It went through all the steps: First, it formatted my USB Flash Drive. Next, it copied Windows installer crap from the my ISO to the USB Drive. Next, it downloaded the Apple Drivers and put them on the USB drive. Next, it restarted in order to boot from the USB drive.
This is where I hit a wall. The computer will not bpt from the Flash Drive. It is as if the control panel has set the startup disk to "BOOTCAMP" instead of the flash drive. So when the computer restarts, it just says "No bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key."
How can I get it to boot from the flash drive?
Thanks In Advance
Andy
Corrected the error message to exact phrase.

Hmmm... interesting... My sites I found suggested otherwise. I tried three diferent brands of jump drives and none of them actually booted the Macbook Air. The Boot Camp Assistant used them all just fine, but booting was the issue. Glad you got it to work. Would you mind posting what brand you used so other reading this thread in the future could learn?
Also, were you just using the BCA or, did you do some other process to make it bootable first? Since the BCA formats the drive, I would think any process done ahead of time would be thwarted (as mine were).
Thanks!

I tried to instal lion but my iMac says "install fail because hard drive is damaged and can't be repaired" and my only option is to restart and it immediately tries to download it again, won't let me back to any other screen. Is there anything I can do?

I am trying to install Lion and I keep getting a fail message that says "Mac OS X could not be installed because the disk Hard Drive is damaged and can't be repaired". It only gives me the option to restart to try again but fails every time, an no other option. Is there anything I can do?

I'll guess that you're upgrading from Snow Leopard? You should be able to start using your original install dvd by inserting the disc and restarting while holding the C key. Run Disk Utility from your install disc and try to repair the drive. Then try the upgrade again.

Installing from USB flash drive

I am trying to install arch on my Eee PC 900ha but am having some trouble.
I downloaded the 2008.06 usb .img install and copied it to my USB stick using dd command as shown in the wiki. I cant get arch to load from it though.
I have two different usb sticks I have tried this from. The first is a kingston 8GB drive. When I try to boot from that, it flashes a quick message that I believe says something about no OS but it flashes to quick to read. Then just boots to windows.
The second is actually an SD card in a USB reader. When I try to boot from that, I am left with just a flashing cursor in the upper left and nothing else ever loads.
Is there something else I need to do? Does anything need to be done to the drives before I copy arch to it?
Thanks,
Joe

Here is one possible cause for the BIOS not seeing the OS.
What are you using for the of? something like /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1
You need to use dd in the form
dd if=path_to_.iso of=/dev/sdb
sdb points to the device, and this will properly install the MBR
sdb1 points to a partition on the device and using it will not allow the USB stick to boot properly because the MBR will be in the wrong place.

EDIT: This is already stated in the Wiki so this probably isn't your error

Windows 8.1 bootcamp install fails at NVIDIA Driver Installer

I've been trying to install windows 8.1 natively w/ boot camp on my Macbook Pro Retina, 15", Mid-2012 8gb Ram 2.3GHz.
I had a few issues with partitioning and everything, but eventually got the point where the windows installer ran, allowed me to create my sign in, etc. Then it guided me through the quick boot camp installer for windows. Once this finished, a small window appeared stating to be the NVIDIA Driver Installer. This remained on the screen for a few moments, and then the screen went black and remained so permanantly. On a cold restart and reboot to the Windows drive, it starts right back up in to this black screen. I've already tried to clean install Windows 8.1 again, same problem.
Thanks for your help!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you can use Wi-Fi before installing the Boot Camp drivers, I recommend you to install the most recent NVIDIA driver from the NVIDIA website first > http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/73784
The Boot Camp installer installs an older version, so if you are having problems, it is better to install the most recent version, so the NVIDIA driver installation step will probably be skipped.

Install fail on Flash 12.0 to Mac OS x 10.6.8?

I got an update message today (2/4/14) and chose to install the most current Flash player. It downloaded, but the installer won't work for me- 'install' button on installer window is inactive, 'quit' is only button that is active. Any video on the web now says 'blocked plug in.' Any suggestions?

How do i install adobe reader on a flash drive?????

how do i install adobe reader on a flash drive?

I don't know if this will work; it will certainly not create a "portable" Adobe Reader.
But it may install on the flash driver, to be used only on the computer that installed it.
Download and run the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
On the Reader setup panel, click on 'Change Destination Folder' and select your flash drive.
Let us know how that goes; I am curious...

Can i install flash drive in mid-2009 macbook pro

I want to increase the storage on my MacBook pro - mid-2009. I use Final Cut so there are demands. Must I stay with a spinning drive or can I install a large flash drive? I big can I go? 2.26 ghz, 8 gigs ram, running latest Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Thanks

One option is to remove your DVD drive and install a second drive. So you could have an SSD (flash drive) for speed and a traditional drive for volume. This might be helpful:
