Installed but not found on computer

I've successfully installed the latest 10.1 for my 64-bit laptop with Windows 7. A check by Adobe confirms that it was properly installed, and that I have the correct version for my computer.
AND YET, there is no icon for it anywhere, it doesn't come up on my list of Programs, when I enter "Adobe Flash Player" in the search bar it shows no such program, and when I try to play a FLV file, it won't give me Flash Player as an option. So..... I have it on my computer, but I apparently am not allowed to see it or access it?
I've uninstalled and re-installed several times, and cannot for the life of me figure out what the problem is. Any help for this maddening situation?

Hi,
Yes, I read his comments and I made sure Shockwave Flash Object was enabled in IE as he suggested. I am trying to make a flip book. One of the posts here in the forum said to make a SWF file, which I did. But now I can't figure out how to do anything with it. I thought Flash Reader was the right program to look at it, but maybe I'm wrong? Maybe I need Flash itself? The flip book thing has me pretty frustrated and confused. All the sites and software I've tried are poor quality. I was hoping I could figure out how to do it through Adobe to get better quality.

Re: Installed but not found on computer
Hi, Flash Player is a browser plugin, not a stand alone Player. You should have Shockwave Flash Object in add ons in IE and make sure it is enabled.
Your Flash files are in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
You may want the Adobe Media Player:http://www.adobe.com/products/mediaplayer/
Hope that helps,

Photoshop installed but not recongnized by Computer, updates fail

Hello,
I had installed CS6 Photoshop on my Windows 7 PC. Something happened where I see all the files and reference to Photoshop on the hard drive in the program files but I do not see an app icon to open the program. I also do not see the program listed in Control Panel so I can unistall it.
The Adobe App Manager seems to also recongnize it as installed. It offers me updates. When I update I get the following error message "U44M1P7 Error log file location C:\program files (x86)\ Common files\ Adobe installers
What do I need to do to fix this? If the app manager says it is installed but my computer will not recognize it to uninstall it what is my recourse?
Thanks.
Shannon

Hi Shannon,
You might try downloading and installing the Photoshop CS6 trial.

Adobe Reader XI installed but "Not Found"

I have Adobe Reader XI installed and apparently running normally. Unfortunately the UK's Parcelforce web-site says it can't find it.
I get the message " Adobe Acrobat NOT found. You must have Adobe Reader (5 or better) with the browser plugin properly working"
Can anyone help me please? How can I tell if "the browser plugin is properly working" ?

In IE11 use Tools | Manage Add-ons, then show All Add-ons. Do you see the Adobe PDF Reader add-on, and is it enabled?

New software instruments installed but not found to use

Help please
I have downloaded 3 new AMG expansion, synth and power packs in garageband 08' running on a g5 with leopard os and though they appear on the HD where they should (HD/library/garageband/instrument library/sampler/sampler instrument) they are not found once inside garageband-new software track instruments.
Why is this happening and how can newly installed software instruments appear for use inside a track?
Thanks!

ALSA installed but not found.

I'm a new user. Recently I've done an upgrade and had to install OSS for a game and my ALSA driver seems to be completely gone.
# /etc/rc.d/alsa start

so I tried aslactl store to restore the file:

However, alsa-lib, alsa-utils, alsa-oss, alsa-plugins. I even tried to install a bunch of alsa-related stuff from AUR as well. I don't know why its not being found. I'm really hating how OSS can only manage 1 sound source.

I am having the exact same problem, I have no idea how to fix it or what it going wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
There is only one difference with my problem

/dev/dsp does not have a soft link

Airport Express green, but not found in Itunes10 - Bonjour problem?

my AX is connected to my network (join a network) and connected to speakers to use as remote speakers on iTunes (airtunes). Connection works great, status is green. I have 2 windows pc's on the network: XP and Vista.
As long as iTunes was shipped with Bonjour 1.0 this was no problem.
From iTunes version 8, when Bonjour 2.0 was introduced, the Airport was not visible anymore in iTunes, and also not in Airport Utility. Strange fact however: the AX seems to work fine (green light) and I can view the configuration in Airport Utility via 'Configure Other...' and entering the ip address on my local network. all options are set correctly for Airtunes.
I believe this is a bonjour related problem, as until now, the fix was to uninstall Bonjour 2.0 and install an old version (1.0.6)
iTunes10 however does not seem to work with Bonjour1.0
So I'm at a loss: my AX is not visible in iTunes, not in XP, not in Vista.
Other things I tried:
* disable firewall completely: no luck
* reset airport express and reconfigured (all GREEN light and visible via configure other, but not found in a scan of Airport Utility when using bonjour2.0
* open port 5353 TCP/UDP in my router (D-Link DI-524) for the AX: no luck
Anyone having the same issue?
config: AX(n) FW7.4.2 in join a networkmode WPA2-DHCP, Dlink DI-524, WinXP, WinVista, iTunes 10, Airport Utility 5.5.1Win, Bonjour2.0.2

I have exactly the same problem. Extremely annoying. Before, I could fix it by re-installing Bonjour after each iTunes-upgrade. But after version 10, that doesn't work any more. Or rather, I can see the AX in Airport Utilities, but it doesn't show up in iTunes. (Weird thing is, it works fine on my other computer, both run Windows Vista).
I guess one answer would be to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes?
Is Apple aware of this issue? It must be a bug in Bonjour. It's been around a long time now. Please fix it!

Blackberry Desktop Software installed, but not on start menu or icons on desktop

Blackberry Desktop Software installed, but not on start menu or icons on desktop
I got a new laptop Windows 7. I installed Blackberry Desktop apparently successfully. However, doesn't appear on start menu nor desktop.

Hey tgcraighead,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
After the installation did you restart the computer? If you go into Control Panel>Programs and Features do you see BlackBerry Desktop Software listed in the applications?
Did you have a previous version of BlackBerry Desktop Software installed?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Drive appears in device manager but not in My Computer

I just wanted to post a solution that took me about 2 hrs to solve. Issue was, my firewire WD TB drive would be seen, by XP (SP3) on boot camp, in xp's device manager but not in My Computer. My goal was to format this as an NTFS drive for my boot camp files. I was unable to format this in Leopard as ntfs either. I tried installing HD drivers and formatting from leopard as FAT32 (just so Windows would see it) but all failed.
The solution I used was as below. (this would not work if you want to retain data on the drive, I didn't care as I was setting up an old drive and reformatting from scratch). Solution:
- Download free 10-day trial of Paragon's NFTS for Mac.
- Install on Leopard (note app seems sparse after download as if it didn't work) but... then...
- Open Disk Utility, you'll notice more options under Erase>Format Options drop down. Paragon acts like a plugin it seems and gives Disk Utility NTFS format options. Don't erase yet...
- Go to Partition tab, Select 1 partition and the options and select Master Boot Record and partition. (Win XP didn't see my 2nd partition when I did this so maybe it can only see the one). Anyhow create 1 big MBR partition.
- Then, go back to erase if you want and zero out.
Drive should then appear when you restart in XP.
I reformatted here from xp too just to be sure that the drive would be fully xp compatible though not sure this would be necessary.
BTW - I also had a 120GB usb drive with the same issue. For some reason with this one I was able to simply erase as FAT32 from leopard without the Paragon plugin and it showed up in XP. Go figure.

Hi Simnap,
Unfortunately Windows XP can only read hard drives that are 2 TB's or less due to barriers set in place by the age of the operating system and the hardware of that time period, even if its still used now. So you may have to partition the drive into (2) 2 TB's or (4) 1 TB's in order for XP to see it. Mac OS X supports 4 TB and above, just not XP.
Kind Regards,
Sidney S. Ramirez

ADE installed but not recognized

I am using Windows 10, a Nook, My Media Mall. ADE is installed, my computer authorized and I am activated. When I download an E book, it appears to be downloaded, but when I try "open with" the only option showing is Adobe Reader. Then, I look for other programs but ADE is not listed as an option. Is there something I have not done?

Windows 7 and IE 11 ... I also use Firefox, for business only.

Looked for but Not found

I have looked for but not found. So that means that more than likely I have just not looked in the right place.
What I am trying to find is the total number of contacts the the 8530 will hold. IE; 500? 1000?
I know that each contact will take so many numbers and so many email address's but how many individual contacts will it allow you to add?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
I have yet to see a credible source publish actual limits for records on any of the calendar, memo, tasks, or contacts apps. If you find one please post. I usually tell users to keep it manageable. To me 6,000 contacts? Seriously?
Heck I wasn't stationed with 6,000 people in the U.S Army! .
Remember the device memory is flash memory, designed for keeping all device functions running at peek levels. Storing large amounts of records just takes that much dynamic memory and makes it static.
Let me know your thoughts!

Make: /usr/bin/install: Command not found

I'm working on a PKGBUILD, but I'm running into this:
make: /usr/bin/install: Command not found
make: *** [install] Error 127
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
Aborting...
What would cause this? Old code? Missing package?

It was actually really old code, after a bit of successful this-should-probably-work script editing! I created a package in the AUR called dasm, which is an assembler for the Atari 2600 among many other systems.

Check /var/abs/extra/eclipse/eclipse.install. Typo in post_remove: post-install should be post_install. You can run the post_install manually (and maybe report this in the bug tracker), but it just updates the gtk icon cache, so it's nothing to worry about.
