  • Firefox has disabled flash, but I did a fresh install and flash is the newest version. How can I re-enable flash?

    I just did a fresh install of Fedora 15, copied the backup folder of Firefox into the home directory, installed flash using the latest yum package from Adobe, ran all of the extra scripts to install the wrapper for 32 bit apps being used on a 64 bit OS. Upon attempting to open a flash video, Firefox tells me Flash is not installed. Running the Adobe installer (yum package) from the Adobe website reports unable to install package, latest package is already installed.
    I followed the trouble shooting steps from your check plugins website and deleted pluginreg.dat (twice) restarting Firefox each time. No change, Flash Player is still disabled by Firefox.

  • Did a fresh install of Windows Vista and Premiere CS5 and now Premiere is buggy!

    Hi everyone. I was using Premiere Pro CS5 on my quad core system editing AVCHD clips just fine and then I had to do a fresh install of Windows Vista Home Premium. I then did a fresh install of Premiere Pro CS5 on a separate hard drive and opened up one of my AVCHD projects. Now, for some reason, the same AVCHD projects that played fine before are now jittery and also show blocky artifacts. The jitter seems to be a constant jitter every second and the blocky artifacts seem to happen mostly when the subject in the clip is moving. I know the problem isn't in the original clip from my GH-1 camera because if I play the original clip that is on my hard drive, it plays just fine so, it has to be Premiere CS5 that is causing the clips to play all jerky on the timeline. Can someone please help me solve this problem? One more thing, when I reinstalled Premiere CS5, I installed the latest update from Adobe. I didn't have that update installed before when the clips played fine. Could that update be the culprit? Thanks.
    My clips were recorded using a Panasonic GH1 HDSLR camera and are 1080/24p (progressive).

    Hi, My Mac Mini 2006 early core Duo
    hangs when i try to connect wirlessly to
    ZyXEL VMG B Series.
    I am using fresh install Mac OS 10.6.3 with
    2Gb of RAM.
    The same issue when i try to hooked up with LAN cable.
    Any tips and adviced will be very very welcome, thanks in advanced to everyone!

    Hey there cutyscar,
    It sounds like you are unable to connect to your router either by Wi-Fi, or ethernet. I would recommend trying the troubleshooting outlined in this article named:
    Mac OS X: Troubleshooting a cable modem, DSL, or LAN Internet connection
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1317
    Start with this step, and work your way down as needed:
    Check all cables and power supplies
    Make sure all the cables related to the modem are plugged in and firmly inserted. This includes the modem's power cord, the cable from the modem to the computer, and the cable from the modem to the outlet. To be sure a connector is properly inserted, disconnect and reconnect it. Check to see if the cables have been cut, chewed, or otherwise damaged.
    If you have any hubs or routers, check their cables and power supplies. If you have more than one power supply available for a type of hub or router, try swapping the power supplies. A defective power supply may affect network traffic.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

    just did update to my mac book, then clicked ok to restart, but the computer came on then will turn off again then come back on and turn off over and over again
    HELP PLease!

    Turn the computer off by holding down the power button, then get your original DVD that came with the Macbook insert it in the DVD drive as soon as you can and then hold down the "C" key while the computer restarts and then run disk utility on your hard drive, also repair your permissions.

    Just done a replacement of the pata DVD drive (its new and is working ok),  and a fresh clean  install of Snow Leopard with all updates, iMac 5.1 behaves strange, sometimes I start Google Chrome and look at youtube videos the computer freezes and shuts down immediately,
    I believe its  related to overheating ?
    iStat Pro shows GPU diode temp at 66 C, CPU at 48 C,  Fan rpms is around 1000
    Any ideas somebody ?
    The hard disk has been previously checked with state of the art techniques that have confirmed that the hard disk drive is in perfect condition.

    1.5-3 minute boot up as opposed to 15-20 seconds
    And
    why it takes a long time to load a lot of things.
    I have restored this
    from a time machine partition.
    TimeMachine is only a backup and restore, it won't fix issues in software and according to your information, doesn't even optimize the restore for best performance on boot hard drives.

    There shouldn't be need to reinstall OS X fresh unless your having file structure issues which if they are should appear when in the Steps, which then a zero erase and install will cure as well as any bad sector issues, the defrag step wouldn't be necessarry on a freshly installed system obviously as the files are written all together, not in portions all over the drive.

  • Fresh Install Mac - Licensing for this product has stopped working  Error: 6

    We just got the new macbook pro refreshes at work and decided to make the switch to standalone CFBuilder.   We downloaded the trial and installed.  On launch we get this error, "Licensing for this product has stopped working  Error: 6".  Every macbook had the same result.   All are running 2 Ghz Quad Core i7 with 8GB of ram.   All of them get the same error.    All have a fresh install of 10.6.6.   Other than installing Air before the CFBuilder install they have no other applications installed.   Other than Air, there are no other Adobe products installed.  All CFBuilders were installed under an admin account.
    We've tried all the troubleshooting.   Permissions, LicenseRecovery, Setting the clock back to 2010... we even tried reinstalling OSX, then installing acrobat, then air, then CFBuilder with the same result every time.   We even activated the root account on the system and installed under root.  Same result every time.    The Flexnet service never gets created unless we use the License recovery tool.   If we install the updater it still makes no difference.
    All options for CFBuilder are grayed out under help.   Registration, Deactivation, Updates...
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for posting and letting me know. Yes, it is crappy to have to work-around it like that. I noticed when I installed
    Builder that it over-wrote some newer files, but I said "Okay to All". I'm using CS4 not CS5 and my newer files were probably better. I'm glad you got your program working at least. My problem is I started my first Project at the wwwroot level, like all the instructions say. It wasn't until I saw Ben Forta's video of it that I realized I was supposed to start a new folder within the wwwroot folder as my Project folder. Now I can't get rid of my first Project folder without DELETING all of the files in wwwroot, WHICH I CANNOT DO. MANY OF THE FOLDERS THERE ARE WORKING WEB SITES! If you know of any way to detach that original Project, I'd sure like to know how to do it.
    Thanks,

  • Windows 7 Ultimate - just did a clean install, what about activation?

    I just did a clean installation of Windows 7 Ultimate. Prior to this installation, I had installed Adboe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended a while ago. In doing the Win 7 installation, I did not have to reformat my hard drive. The installation routine moved my prior Windows files to windows.old.
    I need to reinstall Acrobat. Is there anything special I need to do in terms of activation? Will the software know that it was previously installed on this computer (which was running Windows XP at the time) and reactivate without issues? I am permitted to install Acrobat on two computers. I will eventually need to install it on my home computer, which in accordance with the license cannot be run at the same time as my office computer. May I feel confident that my reinstall on my office computer will not 'use up' the second activatioin opportunity?

    Too late. You should have deactivated first. Interesting though, I thought that Win7 install from VISTA was supposed to be seamless. Maybe you were updating from XP.

  • I did a fresh install on my computer, but when I tried to sync, it put the new bookmarks (standard firefox ones) onto the sync data instead. Is there any way to recover my bookmarks?

    Like the question says, is there any way to recover them?
    I can't pull them off my old install since it was erased.

    Lets hope that you did not really erase your old profile, you would have had to go a little out of your way to do that. I've never used Sync but you have to have something to Sync to.
    Use the following to see if you have more than one profile or your lost bookmarks
    in the bookmarkbackups folder.
    Type about:support into the location bar the click on "Open Containing Folder" that will take you to your current profile. The bookmarkbackups folder has 5 backups (.json files) any of which can be restored with Firefox up through restore bookmarks.
    It doesn't sound like the install pulled in your old bookmarks, so continuing ...
    Sounds like you created a new profile instead of using your existing profile.
    Open your profile folder and go up one level to see if you have multiple
    profiles ...
    HELP (Alt+H) --> Troubleshooting information... --> "Open Containing Folder"
    (or type about:support into the location bar then click on "Open Containing Folder")
    note the filename, then go up one level to see if you have additional profile folders.
    Check the dates of places.sqlite (new in Fx3) for update date just before you went to Fx4.
    Since it is updated each time you close your session that would be a good place to check.
    If you find one then note its filename (the profile name is part of the filename) and
    then start the Firefox Profile Manager and open with that profile.
    To prevent the problem in the future don't let Firefox start up for you after
    downloading and installing a new version. Instead exit the install at that
    last point, and restart Firefox in your normal manner.
    If you really do want to start with a new profile like the one you have, them look in the bookmarkbackups folder of the other profiles and look particularly at the dates and the size of the .json files to find one that you can restore to your current profile -- restoring is complete replacement of what you have for bookmarks.

  • Just did a clean install, realized I lost my iPhoto album in the process...

    I went to Japan 2 years ago and I took a ton of picture. It was the only album I had in iPhoto. I installed Leopard the other night and it gave me that DivX error and I couldn't fix it. So I wiped my iBook clean and it runs like a charm now. I don't miss anything else I wiped except for that iPhoto album of pictures from Japan. Is there any way to get it back?

    Unfortunately not. The Leopard install has no doubt overwritten enough sectors of that disk to make a recovery incredibly difficult, if possible at all.
    You may want to consider splitting your hard disk (if you only have one) into 2 partitions. Use one for the OS and another for Users to avoid losing personal data in the future due to an OS reinstall.
    I've wiped disks before thinking I had everything I needed, only to discover gigabytes of stuff missing. Not a nice experience.

  • [SOLVED] Fresh Install - LXDE - Missing Window Decorations

    Hi folks,
    I just did a fresh install on my netbook (Asus 1000h) which went flawless as allways. I did install Xorg, the relevant intel drivers, some small stuff like screen and the like and then went on to install LXDE as the desktop environment + the murrine gtk engine and some murrine themes. Everything is working, the murrine theme etc, except one thing: The window decorations are missing completely.
    This is the first time sth. like that happened to me after a fresh install and I'm not really sure what could be missing and 3 hours after trying to delete my ~/.config ~./local folders (I'm using a backup of my ~ - I've checked permissions etc.) I'm ranning out of ideas. I'd be glad for any pointers as to how to debug this or what could possibly cause this.
    Thanks in advance.

    LXDE does not provide a window manager (and window decorator). They just strongly advise to use OpenBox. On ArchLinux, the group of packages "lxde" doesn't install OpenBox, so you have to install it by yourself, or install another WM. Then, you will need to configure the way you launch X so OpenBox is used.
    You may refer to http://lxde.org/lxde .
