Issues with FP on old iMac running 10.6.8

Hi,
I'm sorry if this has been posted before, but I am having issues with installing FP on my old iMac running 10.6.8.
It seems to go through the motions, but it doesn't appear to install properly, as some websites are blank.  Has this happened to anyone else?  Is there a possible solution?
If I am not able to make FP 13.0 work on this computer, I may have to revert back to an older version of FP.  All my usual websites worked well on FP 12.0, but not on 13.0.  Does anyone know where I can install an older version of FP?  I looked everywhere on the website but everything forced me back to FP 13.0, and there is no way of circumventing it.
Thank you so much for your help and attention to my dilemma.
Kind regards,
GrandSlam

I had problems after updating Flash Player on my 10.6.8 too, so I went back to 11.9.900.117 and everything worked again.
I was afraid Adobe had dropped support for 10.6 already, so I didn't do any updates after that.
But now I think there was some incompatibility only with that particular version (I don't remember the number), because just now I've installed 13.0.0.214 and things work as desired.

  • Wait, I'm a little confused. On my day old iMac running Mavericks, do I install iDVD from my iLife 11 disk, or somehow copy the app from my existing iMac and install it on my new one?

    Wait, I'm a little confused. On my day old iMac running Mavericks, do I install iDVD from my iLife 11 disk, or somehow copy the app from my existing iMac and install it on my new one?

    The following may be a bit easier set up the new Mac with the same iDVD capability on your old Mac:
    1 - copy your current iDVD application from the old Mac to the Applications folder of the new Mac. The latest version available is 7.1.2.  If you don't have that versoin go to the Apple Downloads site and download the iDVD 7.1.2 updater and run it on your current iDVD application.
    2 - copy the iDVD folder that resides in the old Mac's HD/Library/Application Support folder to the same folder on your new Mac.

  • What makes a ten year old iMac run slow?

    what makes a 8 year old iMac run slow? Its 2.16 ghz intel core 2 duo processor Memory 2gb 667 mhx ddr2 sdram

    What Mac OS are you running?
    See if any of these items apply:
    1) Are you running any anti-virus/internet security applications?
    2) Are you running any "cleaning/tune-up/optimizations" applications?
    3) Any peer-to-peer or torrent downloading software?
    4) Any third-party disk backup software that came bundled with an external hard drive?
    5) Any online backup scheme other than iCloud (Carbonite; GoogleDrive; MS One Drive)?
    6) Did your financial institution ask you to install Trusteer EndPoint Protection (also known as Trusteer Rapport)?
    An overly full hard drive can slow things down, too, especially in a computer with only 2GB RAM.

    have 2009 time capsule with 6 month old iMac  very slow  ...cox said to replace with new router or extreme with new wifi ???? confused

    Replace the Time Capsule with a new one or replace your router with an Airport Extreme Base Station that has faster Wi-Fi. Or you could just connect your old Time Capsule using an Ethernet connection from the Time Capsule to the computer's Ethernet port.

  • Multiple Issues with iTunes on New iMac

    Hello Apple Community,
    I recently bought a 27" iMac with 3.1Ghz i5 processor running on Snow Leopard and finally set it up.  I have owned many Macs in the past and currently have been using a 5 year old 15" MacBook Pro on Snow Leopard that has been running flawlessly but I needed something with a bit more processing power.  When I first took my iMac out of the box I went ahead and used the Migration Assistant to move my applications and files over from my MacBook Pro but after multiple attempts I had to stop and simply move the music, document, and photo data on to a portable hard drive while I got the Migration Assistant to move the applications.  I simply moved the old iTunes music folder over to my new iMac and replaced the iTunes folder on my iMac.  The new iMac has already been authorized through my iTunes account and the music will play.  Now here are my current issues.
    When I play a song on iTunes, there appears to be a random amount of fade-in and/or crossfade when I switch playing songs.  I have checked the playback preferences and crossfade is not checked.  Some songs the crossfade will take a second while sometimes it will be as much as 10 seconds of crossfade.  On my MacBook with the identical library and settings, it does not have these issues.
    The other issue I have been experiencing is if iTunes has been open and my computer sits for a little while (usually after awaking from sleep or even listening to a few songs without touching the keyboard, the songs will stop playing on their own and when I press the play button, it begins to "play" the track but there is no sound coming from iTunes.  I have checked the volume slider in iTunes and it is still at max volume while all other applications still work and output sound.  iTunes will only work properly if I close it and re-open it.
    The final issue is similar to the last one in that when I try and play previews in the iTunes Music store it will not play but when I hit the play button iTunes will then appear to be "playing" but no sound from either the store or any of my songs from the Library.
    iTunes works perfectly fine on my MacBook Pro and it does have any of these issues.  Both Macs are currently running iTunes 10.4.1.  All songs in each library are checked and will play to a degree.
    I have deleted iTunes and all corresponding library files, (basically anything with iTunes in the name) and tried to reinstall iTunes and used multiple methods to replace the music files including using Home Sharing, a portable Hard Drive, and dragging and dropping the music files from the shared folder and no matter what I try, I still cannot get iTunes on my iMac to work properly.  I have been searching around the support forums for others who might have had this issue but I cannot seem to find much.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I had not tried that before, but from your suggestion, I went ahead and did it and it seems to have gotten rid of the crossfade issues I was experiencing but whenever I try and listen to a preview in the iTunes music store it still does not appear to be working.  Also, I was testing a number of tracks and it seems like there are a few tracks in particular that will make iTunes stop playing when I click on them and then if I attempt to play something else, iTunes says it is playing but no sound is coming from it. 
    What I have found that is interesting is the first time I ran the Disk Utility it repaired a HUGE number of misc. files.  After running it and still experiencing problems I tried to run it again but this time the files were not as numerous and were all within the /Library/CoreServices menu.  Each subsequent time I ran the Disk Utility and rebooted, I tried to run the Disk Utility again and the same files seem to still be having the same issues.  This is just an example of one of the files I have been having an issue with.
    Permissions differ on "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/zh_TW.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib" , should be drwxr-xr-x , they are -rwxr-xr-x .
    Repaired "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/zh_TW.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib" .
    One in particular gave me a Warning and said it could not be repaired.  I'm not sure if it is important to repair but I still seem to be having some issues here and there.  Here is the message from the Disk Utility regarding the file in question.
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.

  • How to transfer data off HD of old iMac running OS 10.5.8 onto new iMac running yosemite

    my older brother's 24" iMac  running Leopard 10.5.8  is having issues and shuts itself off without notice so we got him a new 27" iMac off the apple website. 
    We also bought the Apple Extended warranty due to his & my computer skills are limited plus he lives in another state  for a quick drop by to help with my limited skills as well. 
    His local non apple tech person thinks the old iMac probably has an issue with Mother board causing computer to shut itself down and suggested  replacing old mac  with a newer one which we did.  
    I was visiting my older brother who lives out of state a couple weeks ago when the new iMac arrived so I tried to transfer data off old HD to new iMac via USB cable but got error message saying the old iMac also had to be running OS Yosemite!   
    Due to how far back his old iMac OS version is, and not knowing where / how to get the newer  OS disks needed what are his options to get data from Old iMac to new iMac? 
    Also, his old iMac shut down again and he has not been able to get the old mac to start back up so upgrading OS's does not seem to be an option now. 
    Before his mac shut down, my brother  thinks someone told him that if he had iCloud set up his data could transfer via iCloud?   I have no idea if that is correct nor how to set that up.
    if i remember correctly when i was there a couple weeks ago when the old iMac was running during the process of trying to transfer data I think the new computer  also gave another option on how to transfer-migrate data but I don't' remember what that was?
    DUE to the old imac may not start up again, can't he have the old iMac HD removed and put into an external case and plug it into new iMac as and external HD & then take files off for use on the new iMac?
    any and all suggestions / help will be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Bob

    Neil
    Thanks  that was very helpful for transferring files and looks like it solves the problem with not having to update the Operating Systems to Yosemite.  
    I forgot to ask about how does one transfer actual Programs like MS Office for example from  the old drive? 
    Transferring files using the drag and drop process is simple enough but don't actual Programs like MS Office have a much more complicated/larger data package that may be located in various places on the old HD versus files are much smaller and are in one place?  
    If I remember right when i got a new iMac a few years ago, my old mac was still working so i was able to use a cable to transfer data & programs off it to newer iMac and  ALL of the Programs like Office etc. transferred over including user accounts etc.?  I may be wrong as its been a few years?
    Again  Any help & or suggestions are appreciated!
    Thanks

  • 3 year old iMac  running very slow, freezing all the time. Advice?

    My three year old iMac - 2.4Ghz processor, 2GB RAM, running Lion - is becoming almost totally useless. For many months it has been very slow, with multiple freezes, and then "force quits" on iPhoto and other applications.
    First, I tried to free up some space - i now have about 44GB free. Then I ran disk utility etc, Then I ugraded to Lion.
    But still I'm getting the same problems. Any suggestions?

    It sounds like your problems are more serious than a 'hardware upgrade' issue. My late 2008 MacBook 2.4GHz with 2GB RAM runs applications (and iPhoto) fine. In addition I have run OS X operating systems with little more than 5GB free hard drive space with no issue (being able to run advanced applications like Photoshop).
    My advice- if you have simply upgraded to Lion keeping all your systems settings and files intact then you may want to perform a 'clean install', you'll backup your important data/files in order to transfer them back again into Lion. You could even create a Time Machine Backup and use this to move only your data and applications back into your clean install of OS X Lion.

  • Performance issue with brand new intel iMac extreme

    I am at a loss to explain a problem I've been having and I thought I might put it out to you guys.
    In September I purchased a macbook Pro (2.4 ghz, 4 GB RAM) to use in video editing with Final Cut Pro, and for the most part I've been thrilled. I use 1TB LaCie external drives connected via FW800, and perform Multiclip editing with 4-5 video streams at a time and only on occasion have dropped frames during the editing process.
    In December I determined that I needed to have an additional system, and thought a 2.8Ghz Intel iMac extreme would be an excellent choice, since for the same price I could get a little more power in the processor, more hard drive space and a bigger screen to work on. When we picked up the new system in the store (The Grove Apple Store in LA), we had them upgrade the memory to 4GB.
    Since day one we have had performance issues, including problems playing streaming and DVD video, severe delays mounting and unmounting drives (firewire and USB) and application images, and freezing while doing even simple tasks like printing or checking email. These problems occur even while there are no external drives are connected. I have none of these issues with the Macbook Pro, which has virtually an identical set of programs installed, and both running the same version of Leopard.
    I already took the original iMac back to the store, and they exchanged it, but did not have 4GB sets of RAM in stock so they took the RAM from the original machine and put it in the new one. They said if I continued to have problems then it was most likely the RAM and I should come back when they got more in stock. I DID have the same problems with the new machine, and took it back to the Apple Store and they swapped the memory. It seemed to improve the issue, but now I'm seeing the same severe performance issues again.
    All tech support can do is tell me to do a PRAM reset, which seems to improve things very temporarily (but that may be my imagination) or have me restart, which at least has the ability to make the printing of documents capable.
    What I'm wondering is if it is likely that the RAM is the issue and I just got another bad batch, or if the iMac has some weird glitch that isn't present in the macbook Pro...?? Or could I have possibly gotten 2 bad systems in a row? It's extremely frustrating, and I KNOW it shouldn't be this way! It's so bad I get better performance out of my single-core G5 tower! How do I get a good working system that operates like it should? Am I better off getting another Macbook Pro? I'd rather not for several reasons...
    I have xbench on both the MBP and the iMac and can provide test numbers if they'll help, as well as any other info.
    Thank you so much for reading my novella of a post and also for any insight you have!
    Best,
    Travis

    Hi!
    I got the same problem with my MacBook when it still was new in may 2006. It was supposed to be one of the faster Laptops around but it was soooo slow it drove me nuts. I can only advise to have a look if there is something hugging up your RAM and run some tests using these programs on your machine:
    Xbench:
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10081
    MenuMeters:
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10451
    If they show any unusual results you might have your problem...
    As to my problem with the MacBook: I did a complete re-install (writing the harddisk over with zeroes) and suddenly everything was just fine. (But be sure to back all your files before that, I learned this one the hard way.) I know it is just a standard answer, but it worked out for me this time...
    Hope this helps in some ways.
    Cheers,
    Rene

  • My laptop died. I've dusted off my old iMac running OSX 10.2.8 and want to upgrade firefox to 3.5 or 3.6. Looks like I can't do that - where would I find older versions of firefox to update to?

    My now dead laptop was running Firefox 3.6. It died. Now I have my old iMac out of storage. It has Firefox 2.0.0.1 on it. I'm using it now. Check for updates says I can go as high as 2.0.0.20. I'd like to upgrade the iMac to the most current operating system it can work with (right now it's at OSX 10.2.8), and then get Firefox up to the most current version this can run. I tried searching for older firefox versions to download, but can't seem to find them on your website. (I used search term "download Firefox 3.5"). I did this to check and see what OSX version they can work with. Let me know what I need to do. Thanks!

    Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever release for Mac OSX 10.3.9 and earlier versions. <br />Get it here: <br />
    https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/
    System requirements for Firefox 3.5: <br />
    Mac OS X 10.4 and later, Macintosh computer with an Intel x86 or PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor, 128 MB RAM (Recommended: 256 MB RAM or greater), 200 MB hard drive space <br />

  • Printhead / ink issues with 5-month-old Photosmart 7525 printer

    It seems that my HP printer "bad luck" has not changed -- at all! After having lots of issues (and not being able to resolve them with a Photosmart 6515 this summer), I bought a Photosmart 7525 in July.
    I do not print photos or color ink a lot, but when I do, I need for the color and quality to be very good. But it seems that I cannot rely on my HP printer to do that for me. I end up spending hours of time just TRYING to get something to print. I end up wasting a lot of ink and paper, but usually still have a less-than-satisfactory result -- if I'm able to get anything to print at all!
    Two weeks ago, my daughter needed pictures printed for a school project. The pictures started to, print, but then it looked like some of the ink colors were running out. However, the ink status said the ink cartridges were fine! I replaced several of the ink cartridges anyway, but still the photos WOULD NOT print out correctly. I ended up having to save the photos to a thumb drive and take them to a drug store to get them printed for her project. After that, the printer would not even print BLACK ink!
    However, the next day, the printer started printing color again - mysteriously.
    Yesterday, I had some more photos to print. I had the same issue. The first photo printed fine, but after that, only the first third of the photos would print -- the rest were missing part of the other colors. My printer did not show any low ink -- at all. I had all "genuine" ink cartridges, too! I've never used anything except HP ink.
    I am beyond discouraged! I actually talked to an HP rep at Best Buy yesterday, who recommended an HP Envy printer, but it is a tri-color cartridge. He said the problems with 7520 series were because of the way the printhead is designed (really)!
    So I'm ready to just buy a B/W laser printer and give up on ink jets. I wish I could get by without even having a printer at home, but now the schools expect us to print out everything at home these days that they send us via e-mail. Since I end up having to go elsewhere to print photos anyway, maybe I just need to forget about printing photos at home entirely.
    So I will be returning my printer. If anyone has a suggestion on what to get in its place, please let me know. The 7525 was almost $150, so it was not a cheap printer.

    Thanks for your help RnrMusicMan, but I've already returned the printer to Costco, and they did refund my money.
    The printer was only five months old. This is the third Photo"smart" printer I've had major issues with in less than four years. I guess I'm not very smart to keep trying -- or hoping for a different result.
    Unfortunately, I still have a bunch of 564 ink cartridges that I can't use -- some I opened trying to get this printer to work, and some unopened.
    I bought an HP Envy printer on Sunday from Costco that takes the 61 XL cartridges, but I took it back yesterday without even opening the box. My spouse told me I was crazy for even thinking about trying again. And with a tri-color cartridge, it will just be a problem with one color running out.
    So for now, I'll just use our old Kodak printer or plan a little further ahead and have the photos printed outside. Every time I have a project to print, my HP printer does not print for me. I spend hours of time, waste lots of ink, paper and money, and still end up having to go elsewhere to get them printed. So, I just need to do that and forget about printing them from home!
    The HP rep that was at Best Buy suggested for me to return the unopened ink to Wal-Mart for in-store credit. I tried to return two yesterday, but that didn't work. They only exchange ink cartridges, not return them. So, now I'm probably on some list with them, too!
    So thanks for offering to help, but I'm done with trying to make an HP printer work for me at home.

  • Having issues with wireless on my iMac

    Hello,
    I have had my iMac since August of 2011 and sometime last year I decided to upgrade to Lion (like maybe a two three months after I got it). The upgrade was rather smooth, with the big exception that ever since I have updated to Lion I have had annoying issues with my Wireless Internet. I know that this is a known issue, but I am hoping to get some answers/assistance... maybe there is something I can do in my particular case.
    Originally the issue was that whenever I turned on the computer from sleep, the Internet was disconnected. Now, I have a been a iMac/Mac Mini user for over 7 years now and I never had such issue, you turn on the computer, the Internet goes on with it too. It would require me to manually connect to the Internet evertime by selecting our Wireless Network from the drop-down menu.
    About, I want to say, two months ago? Apple sent out a fix via Software Update that said it would correct issues with the iMac wireless not turning on when returning from sleep, "Finally!" I thought and I enthusiatically waited for the update to come.... and it came and it just made things worse. It doesn't make me manually connect the Network anymore, but it takes it sweet time connecting (like a minute some times) and other times it will connect and disconnect a few times before not giving any more problems. Oh did I mention sometimes it just decides to turn off for no reason at all? Yeah, happens a lot. Especially annoying when I am excersizing my nerd rights and playing an MMO and suddenly get booted from the game because for whatever reason my Internet decides to log me off.
    This morning, it was connected to the Internet but websites were taking forever to download, eventually Chrome was just giving up and saying it couldn't connect... but the Internet was connected (full bars if it makes any difference). I tried turning Airpor on and off but no dice. Now, this totally sounds like a router issue, except my boyfriend was sitting behind me on his brand-spanking-new HP and he was happily surfing Reddit or whatever he does whilst online, no issues there.
    So the question is: Is it possible to "revert" back to the time before the update? I guess I could use Time Machine, but uhh, I dont want to revert the whole computer. So how exactly would that work (Time Machine noob here)? Is it possible to look at updates done and simply remove? Also, is there a more amicable fix that packing the whole thing up and taking it to the Genius bar? I'm willing to try some DIY fixes as long as they dont involve messing up with the whole network, especially since no other device is having issues, just this one and we have a lot devices.

    If you have a router that can do a 5GHZ network try it. There seems to be less interference in that part of the spectrum.
    Apple DNS Servers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Wireless Improvements
    Move the Base Station If interference is particularly bad in one part of your house or office, move the base station to another location. But this can be tricky if your AirPort base station has to connect to the broadband feed coming into the house and that feed happens to enter at a particularly interference-prone spot.
    Use the 5GHz Band Compared with the 2.4GHz band, the 5GHz band is practically empty. The newest AirPort Extreme Base Station is one of the few Wi-Fi base stations designed for home use that work in that 5GHz band. All of Apple’s Core 2 Duo laptops and iMacs (except the discontinued 17-inch 1.87GHz model) can also use the 5GHz band; with the build-to-order wireless option, so can the Mac Pro.
    To switch to the 5GHz band, launch AirPort Utility, select your base station, and switch to Manual Setup. Click on the AirPort button and select the Wireless tab. Select 802.11n Only (5 GHz) from the Radio Mode pop-up menu. Click on the Wireless Options button and select Use Wide Channels. Click on Update to restart the base station.
    Currently, no Mac-compatible adapters enable you to use the 5GHz band in older Macs or with older versions of OS X.
