Mac vs. PC flash viewability

I am working on re-creating an aurora borealis in Flash. I'm
not doing anything insane, for now its just one frame containing AS
and one MC on the stage. No external classes or AS right now. I'm
importing...
import flash.filters.GlowFilter;
import flash.filters.BlurFilter;
and then running those on a setInterval to create random
'auroras'.
The swf runs fine on a mac, but on a pc all you get is a
black box. non running. I confirmed that it has nothing to do with
flash versions running on either machine. Also all the embed code
is correct.
can anyone assist in this issue? url:

Thanks,
Chris

GWD,
Thanks for the response. Yea, I'm aware that the tree line
draws. However, as you noted, the auroras don't draw on. I'm new to
UFO as well, but not sure why that would have anything to do with
it. Going directly to the
SWF PC's don't see
anything either.

How do I transfer music from itunes on my mac to a flash drive?

How do I transfer music from itunes on my mac to a flash drive?

hi,
it depends from the OS which is installed on your computer. At first you must access your Music folder which contains the iTunes folder:
Windows 7:
\username\My Music\iTunes.
Windows XP:
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
Mac OS X:
~/Music/iTunes/
In this iTunes folders you can find a "iTunes Media" folder which contains your Music. This Music you can than copy on a flash drive

I have downloaded Photoshop Elements and all went well. When I went to open, it opens fine but is unreadable. I have a Mac and my flash player is up to date. Can you please tell me what I am missing?

I did try to uninstall and reinstall. It messed up my computer. I had to "RESTORE" from the prior days backup. This was not helpful at all. I'm used to losing all my stuff when I connect to iTunes, that's a whole other issue, but now I'm completely banned from any updates to my phone at all. Geeze.......

Mac OS X - Flash Player crashes in all browsers for site (bug?)

Hello,
I just received a complaint by one of my clients that customers were no longer able to visit his site (using a Mac), as the flash player was crashing everytime the site was loaded, no matter what browser was used. I started investigating this using the latest flash-player installed (v11.1.102.64) and it seems that their is a new restriction present, a flash-movie can not be higher then +/- 4090pixels (I've been testing this while updating the code) on a Mac. When I visit the same site on Windows (flash player v11.1.102.64) it never crashes and shows the full height of the site 5276px, no matter what browser I use.
I believe this must be some bug, as the browsers I tested are the same and I can't remember havind this problem with previous versions of flash (as I would have noticed this). Could someone confirm me if this could be a bug, and it should actually be submitted somehow? Or am I overlooking something?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'd like to investigate this for you. Do you have a URL I can try this out on?
Thanks,
Chris

My mac book is flashing a grey file with a question mark does any one know what this could be?

my mac book is flashing a grey file with aQuestion mark in it what does that mean does anyone know?

That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the hard drive data is somehow corrupted.
Put your install DVD into the drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the optical drive.
Once it has finished booting and you are at the Install screen launch Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then select the First Aid Tab run Repair Disk and if that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

I am trying to transfer a power point from my mac to a flash drive to work on a pc? Can't figure out how to get it to work

can anyone help me get my power point from my mac to a flash drive to work on a pc?

And make sure the flash drive is formatted as FAT32. The PC won't read anything from a Mac OS formatted drive, and your Mac can't write to a NTFS (Windows) formatted drive.
If both the Mac and PC support it, exFAT is also possible and allows for larger file sizes.

Always need to reboot Mac to get flash to work.

Every time I want to use Adobe FLash player, it crashes upon start and I have to reboot my Mac. I tried upgrading from leopard to Snow Leopard and the problem is still the same. I am using the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
It doesn't matter if I am using Safari, Firefox, or Google Chrome, Flash crashes in all of them.
I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, tried the debugger file and STILL......it crashes. I just recently realized that a complete shutdown and restart of my
Mac will get Flash Player working.
A side note: I also experience this same thing whenever I want to use the scanner portion of my Canon Pixma printer/scanner. There too, I have to shutdown and restart the computer. Not sure the two are related or merely a coincidence.
Apparently there is perhaps a conflict with Flash Player and some other software my computer uses?

Thanks, but I have been to that site, tried all that, and I continue to have the problem.
I don't think it's necessarily teh Flash Player install, but I must have something else running on my
Mac that conflicts with it. Immediately after a fresh boot, it's okay, but something creates a conflict
eventually. It could be my printer driver? It could be Itunes? Not sure.

Cleanup/speed up mac book with flash drive

cleanup/speed up mac book with flash drive

How to maintain a Mac
1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; all should be made directly from the original data. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of trouble with system updates.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac" and “MacKeeper” scams, but there are many others.
As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for, and doesn't change the way other software works.
Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve. Do not rely on "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
4. Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts. Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
5. Avoid malware. Malware is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X was once so rare that it was hardly a concern, but malware is now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
6. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
7. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform. A computing device should not be a focus of your attention. It should be an almost invisible tool by means of which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that is always whining for your attention like a neurotic dog, use a PC.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

Flash Player Protected Mode provides a modern, sophisticated set of security protections that we see as critical in today's security landscape.
We highly recommend that users not disable ProtectedMode. Also, it's worth noting that by manually changing your mms.cfg, you have opted out of Protected Mode for all future versions of Flash Player, as we will continue to honor that preference. This puts your system at risk, and that risk will continue to grow over time.
Ultimately, this is an issue with the RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in. There is a more technical explanation in the Mozilla bug referenced above in the thread, but the simplified version is that the security enhancements designed to prevent the introduction of malware via Flash Player make RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in no longer compatible with Flash Player for Firefox. You can disable the record functionality to eliminate this issue, while retaining the ability to view both Flash and Real Player content.
To disable the Real Player Browser Record functionality while maintaining the enhanced security provided by Flash Player with Protected Mode, do the following:
    Launch RealPlayer
    Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner of the window, and choose Preferences
    Choose Download & Recording from the left-hand menu
    Uncheck "Enable Web Download & Recording for these installed browser"
    Click OK

I thought that installation through Boot Camp required, without hacks, a physical optical disc to install Boot Camp? I don't use it any longer since I run XP under Parallels, but I would swear that you have to use a disc, and not a USB thumb drive, to install Windows?
Maybe some real Boot Campers will visit this thread...

If you have the Media you can use it to create a bootable USB key via boot camp assistant.
It will create the usb and has the option of pre-downlading the drivers and bootcamp utilities for windows.
It is pretty much all automated and quite simple.

Mac OS Classic Flash Player 7r70 is an OS X File

Adobe, the newest Classic Mac OS version of Flash Player
(7r70) available from
http://www.adobe.com/go/d9c2fe33
is an OS X package file which does not contain a Classic Mac OS
compatible Flash plugin. Please post the correct version so Classic
Mac OS users can have the security benefits of Flash Player 7r70.
Thank you.

Hi Darren,
Please excuse my ignorance, but I do not know what a SWF file
is.
I saw the message from Adobe today. However, I had already
installed version 7r70 based on their earlier TechNote.
I use google.com as my homepage, but I have it set up so that
when Netscape starts up, Mail opens and my new messages start to
download. I need to click on Navigator to access Google. It does
not start up automatically. The script appears when Netscape starts
up and tries to download my new mail. I do not think that there is
any flash content when I access my email.
I am concerned that if I uninstall the Flash Player, I will
not be able to download and install a version that will function
compatibly with my old PowerBook G3 that is not capable of running
OSX without problems. I am running OS9.1, and I only have 512MB of
ram and an 8GB hard drive.
Is there a way to get rid of the script by deleting a
specific folder or file? I saw a new document titled "settings.sol"
that is dated on the day that I installed version 7r70.
Thank you so much for your help!
Best regards,
Blanche Wingate (aka Blancawing)

ATP Photo Finder GPS not recognized on Mac as USB flash drive

Much like the problem with the Sony GPS-CS1, it appears the ATP Photo Finder device also will not be recognized as a flash drive on a Mac. Tiger worked with the Sony for awhile, but recent updates (as well as Leopard 10.5.x) have made it no longer work. There are other topics on the GPS-CS1 in these forums detailing those problems.
I picked up an ATP Photo Finder from My Discount Digital to try it out. It logs data, then you insert the memory card in to the device and it will GPS stamp the JPGs. It sounds like a great idea, but when it didn't work I was going to have to plug it up to my Mac and use PC software via Parallels to reprocess the images.
It is not recognized -- and under Parallels, a new USB device shows up simply listed as "U" under the pull-down menu. When I try to select it, it claims it is already in use. Methinks Apple Mac OS X is semi-grabbing the device but not being able to use it.
Odd.
So I post this in case others have the ATP Photo Finder and have problems... Maybe we can figure something out.

Well, here's an odd (and quick) self follow-up... I was reading an Apple Help file and it suggested looking at the System Profiler to see if the device is being recognized. Indeed, it showed the "U" and some garbled characters (so something is not quite right). It also showed it was plugged in through my powered USB hub. I bought this hub after running in to issues with devices that would not work plugged in to the iMac keyboard... On a whim, I plugged the ATP Photo Finder in to the non-powered USB port on the keyboard and ... it worked. It still shows up as U(garbled) but I was able to access it from the Mac Finder.
Interesting.

How to watch flash video on safari/mac without install flash?

Hi mac people,
i think many people are asking about this too, but i didn't find a true/info article to show you how,
so I ask again in here hopefully someone can give me an true answer!
I don't want to install flash due to security and some other disadvantage mentioned by other,
but video uploaded to Facebook still using flash, and youtube opened in safari, some video showed only 240p, 360p, 720p, it doesn't show 480p,1080p and 4k or 60fps version, but when I install bogle chrome, everything look fine, I get vey those option available, I heard google chrome has built in flash/sandboxed flash, not sure how it's work, but google famous at tracking so I don't want to use google chrome, so guys any way to use safari to view all those things?
Thanks!!!

You do realize Google owns YouTube, correct?
Don't install Flash Player if you don't want to use it. It's a dead technology and the sooner people stop using it, the better. Most websites no longer require Adobe Flash Player.

F9 on Windows opens the Tag Inspector. So try from the top
menu: Window -> Tag Inspector.
