Is there a substitute for windows flash software?

Is there an Apple Substitute for flash software?

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
Puffin
SkyFire
Photon Flash
Browse2Go
iSwifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

    Apple only supports Windows on certain hardware.
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Apple provides their framework for Windows to run on a Mac, a piece of software called a Hybrid MBR that bridges the gap between how Windows reads the drive partition table (MBR) and EFI/GUID partition table that Mac's use.
    It doesn't mean Windows can't run on your Mac, a third party solution called rEFIt will also bridge the gap and allow booting of more that just Windows, Linux as well for a triple booting computer.
    Your hardware has to meet the other requirements the second and third operating system needs as as being able to install drivers that will work for your hardware, especially the fans or they will run loud and fast by default.
    http://refit.sourceforge.net/
    This above is a advanced procedure which requires knowledge how computers and various operating systems, drive formats and so forth work.
    I even admit I don't know everything myself, but I experiment on a separate piece of Mac hardware (out of warranty/AppleCare) designed for this purpose so in case something screws up I'm not taking down my only machine and can use the other to get online and find solutions.
    There is a very high potential for losing your data if your using advanced/non-Apple methods to install Windows on your only Mac where Apple doesn't support it. Also one shouldn't be doing this on Mac hardware that is under AppleCare or warranty as it might be voided. Proceed at your own risk and education.

  • ¿Is there a substitute for MicroType TimeSavers?

    2009-04-07-02T12:40Z
    My apologies to you, Shlomo, but I have to ask.
    FrameMaker 7.1p116
    Acrobat Professional 8.1.3
    As they might say in New York, "Not for nothing, but . . .."  I have been unable to post to FrameUser's list and to Free Framers list.  If you subscribe to one or both, will you please post this there for me?
    ¿Is there a substitute for TimeSavers?
    ¿If yes, what?
    ¡Thanks in advance for your prompt responses!

    btw, for anybody reading who might not be familiar with the way TimeSavers works, the biggest, most important advantage -- aside from the cool, incredibly useful PDF effects and added functionality that TimeSavers accomplishes -- is that the setup for everything is handled entirely through FM markers and .ini files. So, the settings can be retained, re-used, customized, and modded up the ying-yang, and applied across books / users / companies in a manageable and controlled way.
    Dave, if you need another way to check for alternative solutions, you might try Scott Prentice's tools / tools search page, on http://www.leximation.com

  • Is there a forum for windows.

    I hope this is the right place to post this topic. I find the Apple discussion forum really useful, and wanted to know if there is anything similar for Windows users.
    I had a look on google but found nothing as easy to use as the Apple one, has anyone got any suggestions. I need it mainly for Windows XP SP2 and Microsoft Office 2003.
    Although I use a Mac all the time at home my computer at work is a PC, and I do have a few problems that I am sure are easy fixes but have no idea how to do them.
    many thanks in advance.

  • Is there a driver for Windows 8.1 that works with HP Scanjet 5500c

    Is there a driver for Windows 8.1 that works with HP Scanjet 5500c
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    I afraid you will not be able to use the scanner with Windows 8.1, it is not compatible with the OS.
    Regarding VueScan, I afraid it would not be an option as well, the application only support your scanners if there are drivers for the OS:
    If there isn't an HP scanner driver at www.hp.com for your operating system, then unfortunately VueScan won't work with this scanner.
    You may try using the Vista drivers by running the drivers using the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter as listed below.. select Not Listed from the programs list and browse to the installation file for Vista:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c03401961&lc=en#N63
    The installation file for Vista can be downloaded below:

  • What is a good free substitute for Adobe Flash Player? Apple will not download this but I need it for several things I want to do?

    What is a good "free" substitute for Adobe Flash Player? I need this for photos to be developed.

    You cannot substitute another app for Flash because it is proprietary technology. Apple is adamant about keeping Flash out of their phones and tablets, hence why you will not find it in the App Store. If you want to be able to use Flash on-the-go, consider purchasing an Android device.
    Doesn't matter at this point.  Android 4.0.3 is the last OS he'll have if he wants flash.  Adobe has already stopped development for their mobile flash player.

  • Do I need to partition storage space for windows 7 software?

    I'm still debating if I should sell my Alienware and buy a MB Pro Ret and my main questions is concerning storage space.
    I know that MBP can't compare to an Alienware gaming system but I hardly have time for that stuff anymore. I might play Skyrim every now and then, but that is the only game I care for really. I mainly want to have a light weight reliable laptop.
    So... because I have so much software for my windows system now, I was looking into transferring that to the MBP. Lightroom 4, AutoCAD, Word and Exel, Photoshop... ext. ext. Which brings me to question:
    Can I partition 50GB for the OS only and install all the software I have on that drive even if it wont fit on the Windows 7 partition?
    In other words
    Do I have to calculate how much space all my programs will take up for Windows 7 and partition that amount or do I only need enough space for the OS?
    I have never owned a Mac and am not familiar with the OS, I was debating if I should partition 500Gigs and slowly transition from Windows to iOS and maybe one day get rid of the Windows partition and just have the iOS on there.
    I don't know... that's why I am here... Apple has a great community so let the advising commence... haha.
    Thanks for the help.
    Dallo
    Forgot to mention: If I do get a MBPR it will be the 2.6GHz, 16GB Ram and 512GB Flash

    It's recommended to create the partition with enough space for your programs, but if you create a very small partition, install Paragon Camptune X or WinClone to resize the Windows partition

  • Use a partition on external drive for windows support software

    Hello
    I am trying to install Windows 7 on my MacBook AIR  13" 8GB.  I have an external drive that i created a partition for the Windows Support software but when I choose to proceed in Boot Camp Assistant to download the windows support software it says the entire drive has to be one partition formatted to MS DOS.
    Any way around this..I have the Windows disc and would like to avoid having to buy another 8 GB or greater size external disc drive
    Thanks

    I do not want to install Windows on the external drive.
    An external drive is needed to download the windows support software as stated in Boot Camp.  It seems I cannot use a partition on the external drive to download the support software.. Wondering if there is a work around this..

  • Is there a fix for a Flash Player compatibility problem?.

    My computer is a imac g4 1.25 Ghz 17 inch flat panel running OS X 10.4.11 and can no longer view anything on the internet that uses the newest version of flash player.  I have tried to upgrade to that version but it won't work on my computer. When I try to download it I get this message "Devices with powerpc processors are no longer supported." Is there a fix for this?

    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, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, 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, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
    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.
    It works for me.
