MacBookPro flash frustration
My MacBookPro has Adobe's Macromedia Studio,
including Flash, loaded on it. Still, when I reach Websties that
have Flash components, I get a big QuickTime Q that quickly fades
to a question mark. And the flash feature doesn't run.
When I try to download a Flash update, I get the message: No
version of Flash needs updating.
Troubleshooting site suggested uninstalling and reinstalling
-- iin fact, site said this clears up almost all Flash problems.
Not so for me.
Has anybody fixed this specific problem in OS X?

It sounds like the browser is trying to use the QuickTime
player to play the
swf instead of the Flash plugin.
System Preferences->QuickTime->Advanced (*ignore the
Flash tracks
setting*)->MIME settings->Miscellaneous->Look at
Flash media setting.

Sony RX100 Hot Shoe and Flash Frustration!
I have been a loyal Sony RX100 user since the first model came out. I have not been able to upgrade past the RX100 ii thanks to the missing hot shoe. I was told at the Sony Store that it was removed because customers are more interested in the viewfinder than adding a stronger flash. I think this is such a great camera ruined by its weak built-in flash, and I'd really like to see this added. I am so upset that the latest RX100 m4 is missing the hot shoe again! Does anyone have an update on this, is it ever going to come back? Speaking of flashes, I've gone through 3 Sony HVL-F20M flashes due to poor design. The flash breaks in the exact same spot with the smallest drop. I love this flash for my rx100 M2, but I feel that the design is in dire need of an update.
Hi sonyluvr
We're sorry to hear your frustrations regarding the RX100 series cameras.
We value your feedback and we will forward your request to the engineering department for future product developments.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. -Anthony -

Flash CS5.5Did you create the correct mobile provisioning profile and distribution certificate?

Go there, expand "Compiling and debugging iPhone applications" and then "Compiling an iPhone application installer (IPA) file".
Make sure you are creating the *distribution* files and not development if you trying to submit this to the app store. -
Installing Flash Player on MacBookPro
I have downloaded and uninstalled the Flash Player Vers. 10,2,153,1 a number of times using either Safari or Firefox.
The MacBookPro has a 2.33 Ghx dual-core and Memoery of 3GB, 667Mhz.
The Mac OS is version 10.5.8.
The "download" seems to be 5.9MB but is only trhe installer. No matter what I do when I click on the ico for Flash I just keep getting the installer which wants me to install the program again. The Adobe site tgells me my computer has Flash Vers. 10,2,153,1 on it already but I cannot find it in my applications nor does clicking on the Flash icon do anything but recall up the installer.
My need is critical and immediate. I am trying to convert a large Powerpoint file (309MB) to a flash file so I can put it opn my website.
I have been using computers since 1959 but find this very frustrating.
Can anyone help?
[email protected]Hi, Flash Player is 2.74MB and Flash Player is a browser plugin. Is that what you are trying to Install? FP is not a stand alone.
Look in your Firefox plugins and your Safari plugins for Shockwave Flash. This must be Enabled in order for Flash Player to work. Maybe it's disabled?
Where is this "icon" you are clicking on?
Going to this test site with each browser, can you see the Flash logo animation? Also is FP version 10.2.153.1 displayed?

i have been unable to use my iphone for going on a week. It started by shutting down when ever I'd try to use it. Now it has just a dead black screen. If i plug it in it doesn't charge And the flashing apple continues every 2seconds never charging or turning on. I'm frustrated because I can't even get in to troubleshoot. I bought an iphone cuz I thought it was the best phone at the time. My contract isn't up til Aug. and I'm stuck with a bill and no phone. I do not own a computer but I have an ipad4 which I love. HELP!
Make an appointment at the genius bar are your nearest Apple store. At this point there is nothing you can do without a computer, so if you don't have one and don't know anyone who has one that you can use the Apple store is a good fallback.

It's worse than dialup, videos constantly freeze up and lagg for minutes. It takes me nearly a half hour to see a 4-minute video. I've heard that it can also be a quicktime addon that I can see, but cannot delete. Sorry, but I'm so ******* frustrated. I don't have a lot of money and when I bought this, I just wanted it to run right. It's been a tough year on me and this hasn't helped.
I have a
macbook pro 15", Mid 2012
8 GB
Software is mac osx lion 10.7.5
If anyone can help me fix this problem, you'd be my ******* hero. I'm not very tech savy... but I'd appreciate any help on this.Sounds like you have a corrupt cache file

Unable to install Adobe Flash Update and am beyond frustrated.
For the last several weeks/months I have been having an issue installing the newest version of Adobe Flash. My System Specs are as follows:
AMD 64 Dual-Core Processor 6000+ 3.0 GHz Processor
4.0 Gig of RAM
Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)
Internet Explorer 11
My problem started when they updated to the new version of the program. It told me that I needed to install the update and so I went to the website and started the download process like I have done 1,000 times before. Only this time I after I ran the program I started getting what I have my frustration has dubbed "the gray box of death." when it comes to the part where the installation is supposed to begin you are supposed to see the installation progress bar all I get is a solid gray box with no bar in the middle. This has happened many times and I do not know what in the world to do about it. I have went online and tried to follow many guides all with the same result.
Today I went through my computer and shut down my firewall/virus protection/malware protection (even to the point of completely uninstalling some of the programs) with no success. I have tried updating the existing software. I have tried uninstalling and doing a 100% fresh install. All of these have the same result. I know it is not the fact that I have a 64-bit OS because your site identifies it as a 64-bit system so I should be getting the right update. I have tried everything I can think of (short of wiping my entire drive which I am not going to do) and I am at the end of my rope. Please help me resolve this issue.
FrustratedHi lord_knikon,
I understand your frustration. We've had several users report this, however, we've not been able to reproduce. This happens with the online installer downloaded from get.adobe.com/flashplayer. We've not seen this with the offline installers, posted at the bottom of this help page, http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html. Please try using the offline installer and you should be able to get Flash Player installed on your system.

Adobe Flash player, when will be available for downloading, really frustrated
Adobe flash player, when will be available for mac, iPhone, iPad. I am really frustrated. My friends are posting each other comic moments with kids or holiday events and I am always left out because I have iPhone. Also, I am unable to watch live tv on iPad when my husband watching football as unable to view without flash player.
It seams like apple is a bit behind with some part of technology, when will be available for download
Frustrated
RosieIt has never not been available for Mac.
It will very likely never be available for iphone/ipad/ipod.
Do a forum search. This is dicsussed over and over and over and over and over and over and over again on these forums.
Adobe is working on a versin that will not require any download at all to watch flash content. -
Flashing question mark with added frustration
I have a Mac Book Pro 17inch, 6 months old. After 3 months it had to go off for a new hard drive because the original simply stopped working.
I've had it back for 4 weeks and today the spinning wheel appeared, I shut down with the power key, tried to turn on and all I get now is the flashing question mark or a blank grey screen.
I have tried everything I can to try and sort it. I've tried resetting the PRAM, holding down the option key, holding down the Ctrl and Cmd keys. I've tried to put in the system disk to use the Disk Utility, but it just thinks about it, then spits the disk out after two minutes, not having booted from the CD atall. I've tried holding down the d key while putting the CD in, to no avail. I've also tried starting it in Firewire mode, but the working machine i've plugged it into won't recognise it.
Before I trudge back to my local Apple store tomorrow with tears of frustration (again) can anyone out there think of anything I can try to get it working?
Any thoughts would be very gratefully received.
Thanks
RhianThe flashing question mark means that important system files have become corrupted. You will need to reinstall OS X. You can do so without erasing the hard drive.
How to Perform an Archive and Install
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update. -
i accidentally pushed the power button of my macbookpro... it restarted but doesnt open... what appears now is a flashing FOLDER logo with a QUESTION MARK on it.. can someboby help me to fix this?
(Assuming you don't have a firmware boot lock set)
First easy step...
1. Shut down the computer if it's on (hold the power button down... until it shuts off)
2. Press the power button
3. Immediately press AND hold the Option key ASAP
Hold until drive option images appear in a single row across the screen. Typically most people running 10.7 or 10.8 will see 2 drive options to boot from: the main volume they usually boot from, and a recovery volume. If your main volume pops up. Use the cursor or arrow keys to highlight/select the main volume and press enter. That should boot your main volume. Let me know what you get from this point... I'll give you more as you go along. -
Why so I keep getting 'blocked-plug in' message! Very frustrating. Never happened before. related to Adobe Flash Player for videos. Have deleted Adobe and put the new Adobe on, but still get message. Seems others have had this same problem.
What is your current Flash Player version: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html ?
What is your display adapter, driver version & date? See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765 -
I can't get FLASH to Instal on my MAC OSX 10.8.5 Beyand Frustrating!
I have tried several times over the past 36 months to get the updates version of FLASH to install on my MAC. It just won't do it. I have gone to the Adobe Trouble shooting guide and followed all the steps. Please help. I am beyond frustrated!!!!!
I did all that stuff that is referenced in Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac?
I have no idea what a "Log File" is.....so I would have an easier flying to the Moon than figure that out.
What occurs is this:
1) I download the Adobe Flash Player Installer
2) I start the Install
3) I ALWAYS get the same message at roughly 82% Install: "Error: General Installation Error".
This is the same thing that happens over and over. I have done everything that is referenced in the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac post.
On another note, I have ALWAYS been able to ib=nstall FLASH on every update up until about 6 months ago. I know my original Post said "the past 36 months", but I meant to say the past 6 months.
Thanks,
Sam
It is the same failure every time.
Thanks,
Sam
