Mountain Lion and Flash CS6

Wondering if I can get some clarification on an issue i'm having with Flash CS6 and mountain lion 10.8.3:
I recently purchased a 27" iMac i7 3.4Ghz 16Gram for use as a work machine running Flash CS6. However any time I open any .fla (flash file) larger than 50m the application crashes to desktop. I have searched the adobe communities and it seems that Flash CS6 is listed as incompatible with Mountain Lion, however many people run it without issues.
My question is this: is Flash CS6 truly incompatible with the Mountain Lion os? if so is there a way to reinstall a previous version of os x that is compatible with flash (snow leopard, lion) while I wait for the compatibility issue to be fixed? Is there a current workaround for Flash CS6 on mountain lion that will allow me to manage large files?
I have attempted to run flash both with the most recent java 7 17 and java 6 43, I have tried it without the adobe flash update 2 and without, and I have adjusted the java heap space. none of these attempts has resulted in any improvement. I can open and create new files without any problem, but the inability to handle any file over ~50m severly limits my ability to work in OS X Mountain Lion and makes working on my current project impossible.
I appreciate any help anyone can give me or even just an answer to my question about compatibility as I was very excited to upgrade to the mac hardware for device testing and the xcode goodies integrated with CS6 and now I find myself stuck having to return to my old and less than ideal hardware spec (not to mention the cost of the new iMac that now cannot be used for my current project).
Thank you for your time.

Yep -- you're describing the EXACT issue that Adobe warns of on their incompatibility notice.

Guess it's a good thing that Flash is dying.......because even 10 months after a new OS release, Adobe has no word on fixes.

Mountain Lion and CS6?

I'm still on Snow Leopard, as are many video and audio folks I know. "If it ain't broke..."
However I came across this
"Today, while working on an edit and getting fed up with it crashing (something I’m really not used to on a Mac) out of frustration I decided to upgrade the OS to Mountain Lion.
Wow, I wish I had done this earlier. What a difference."
http://www.alisterchapman.com/mountain-lion-and-premiere-cs6-do-it/
Does that tally with other folks' experience here?
Cheers!

Not many problems for me. The biggest being that mountain lion does not recognize when I disconnect my 2nd monitor. But that isn't a cs6 issue. I use dual monitors because I do a lot of tutorials...so that should tell you that I'm no expert and my word doesn't go too far. Maybe some AE vets will chime in. But as a laymen to AE, I have no complaints.

Can I purchase Mountain Lion and make a flash drive bootable? I do not want to install it on my Macbook Pro. I have Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro now, and due to my hard drive needing repair I need to boot off of another source, like my flash drive.

Can I purchase Mountain Lion and make a flash drive bootable? I do not want to install it on my Macbook Pro. I have Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro now, and due to my hard drive needing repair, I need to boot off of another source, like my flash drive. I am in Paris and my Snow Leopard DVD is in Texas.

Mac OS X has a built-in disk diagnostic and repair program called fsck or file system consistency check. Here’s how to verify and repair your startup disk with fsck. As soon as you hear the startup tone, press and hold Command-S on the keyboard. Keep holding down those keys until you see a black screen with white lettering. This is called “booting into Single User Mode.” As the Mac boots in this mode, the screen reports each step of the process. The line should end in root#. Right after the root# prompt, enter the following: /sbin/fsck -fy
If repairing the disk in single user mode fails, it means one of two things. Either your hard drive itself is failing (a hardware failure), or the directory damage on your hard drive is beyond the capability of the built-in repair procedures in OS X.

Moving this discussion to the Illustrator forum. What have you tried so far to resolve your difficulties? Have you tried removing and reinstalling Illustrator? If so did you receive an error message during the install process?

Upgraded i Mac to version 10.8.4 mountain lion and can't run adobe flash - Appreciate help!

Upgraded my I Mac to version 10.8.4 mountain lion and cannot run adobe flash. Tried uninstalling and still cannot install flash player. After initializing, I get a black box and eventually a message that installation was unsuccessful. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Download the offline installer here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg
If it won't download directly, right click and "Save as"
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
Trash the Flash Player.plugin file from there
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Trash the Flash Player folder (the whole folder)
Empty the trash
Reboot
Mount the DMG and run the installer.
BEFORE opening any Flash content in Safari, open Safari>Preferences, and check the Security tab to make sure "Allow all other plugins" is checked.

Currently running OS 10.6.8. If I update to Mountain Lion will Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4 still work?

Can't say anything about Lightroom, but Adobe officially supports CS6 all the way through Mountain Lion.

Updated to Mountain Lion and now I get a Green Flicker

Help Please...
I updated to Mountain Lion and ever since then when I export media from Final Cut X I am getting random green flashes in my video clips. I shoot with a DSLR (60D), full 1920x1080 HD, H.264 codec. I have never had this problem before. I thought at first it might be the camera so I pulled out a different DSLR (rebel t2i) and it was having the same issues once exported. The only thing that has changed is that I installed OSX Mountain Lion. Any one else had this problem? It appears there are no updates available for my computer. I am on a mid 2011 27 inch iMac. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am using magic bullet looks 2.0 as well. From my experience so far it hasn't made a difference whether I actually applied the effect or not. I am still testing to make sure but I think the green flicker has happened on clips both with magic bullet applied and ones not applied.

I upgraded to Mountain Lion and now see "Blocked plug in" on my banking site and on Facebook I can't watch a posted video

I've upgraded to Mountain Lion and now see "Blocked plug in" when on my banking site and also when on Facebook. I've been told Adobe Flash is not a good option, any suggestions?

Mountain Lion x Adobe CS6

How can I do to proceed a correct instalation and fully operating the Adobe CS6 Pack in a OS 10.8.2 Mountain Lion? The CS6 requires a Java SE 6 (the suite don't recognize Java 7!!!!). After uninstalling and activating the Java version 6, that remains invisible in Finder and System Preferences, including the Utilities folder, but appears working in the official Java Tester web page. Until the CS6 recognize a succesful installation of Java SE6, I cannot install the Adobe Illustrator, indeed. How can I do this installation? Where is the Java SE 6 I had installed in my Mountain Lion? Sorry about mistakes and thank you both.

Java is required for Adobe Illustrator, as said by jimhere, in the begin of installation process and during the software operation! But the version 7 just don't be recognized by CS6. So, I've been searching for tutorials to reverse the version, from 7 to SE6, and found this step-by-step instructions in this link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559?viewlocale=pt_BR
After this procedures, the Java still don't appearing in Finder, but works fine as Java SE 6 update 37 in Java Tester: http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp
I believe the instructions at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559 only work if you still have Java 6 installed after installing Java 7. I've tried them and still can't get CS6 to launch with Java 7 installed. Java 6 for Mac seems to have been pulled from Oracle's site (which makes sense, since they're EOLing it in February) and Apple's existing Java 6 installations (like this one: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5493, or the risky MacUpdate one at http://macupdate.com/app/mac/39490/apple-java) fail for me because it claims a newer version of that same package is stalled.
So I'm stuck with a non-functional CS 6 that won't recognize Java 7, and no way to download the version it does recognize, so I can hack it together.
Is anyone running CS6 with Java 7?

Mountain Lion and Image Processor

Found out on a brand new install of Mountain Lion and Adobe Photoshop CS6 that Image processor will not save any othe images processed. Anybody else have this problem or anyone test this out for me?? Also is there a work around to this issue?

Well, you adopted Mountain Lion on the very first day it became available. Talk about early adopters!
Apple doesn't seem to get new major versions of OS X right until about the sixth dot-dot release. That's why Lion wasn't and isn't reliable even at 10.7.4.
I'm sticking to Tiger 10.4.11 on my main Power Mac and have rigged a minimal Snow Leopard 10.6.8 system just to run ACR 7.x hosted by Photoshop 13 ("CS6").
Leopard 10.5.x was awful, not just in dropping Classic Support but also in totally killing SCSI support.
The two Lions are mainly concerned with compatibility with mobile devices like the iPad and the iPhone.
The future of the desktop Mac as a serious computing platform seems doomed.

I just bought and installed mountain lion, and I can't get to sign in to hotmail.Can I get some help please. Thanks.

I just bought and installed mountain lion, and I can't get to sign in to hotmail after several trials. I need help please. Thanks.

so its in a forum, which I didn't stumble upon because it wasn't anywhere in the adobe troubleshooting steps for Windows 8 that automatically came up for me when I clicked that I couldn't see the test flash movie on their site. I guess if I spent another half a day googling I might have found it.
BTW, unchecking Active X filtering in IE10, was NOT the fix. I had to go into the security tab, and change the custom active X setting I listed above. So this link you provided which mentions unchecking Active X filtering was not the fix that worked in my scenario.

I downloaded mountain lion and then the new office suite (word, ppt, excel) but now when I try to display one of my ppt's it says 'ppt cannot open the file...the file may be corrupt, in use, not a type recognized by ppt etc.." how can I fix it?? HELP

Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:
Office for Mac forums
PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.

HT1338 I updated my MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion and now it is starting slow and opening with some of the programs. How can I fix the problem?

I updated my MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion and now it is slow in starting up and loads a number of probrams. How can I fix the problem?

Have you tried starting in Safe Mode and see if the slowness still occurs?
Restart holding the "shift" key.
(Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)
If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items (-), you can always add them back with the (+). Also look in /Library/Startup Items. Nothing is put in that folder by default, so anything in there is yours.
Reboot normally and test.

I just have just downloaded Mountain lion and I wanted to listen to music on my computer screen with my HDMI cable plug into my back of my screen and I wanted to talk to dictation on my regular standard iPhone headphone and I was wondering if it's all possible change your settings Mac Mini to set it so you can listen to those both like your headphones and use the mic in your headphones and there's no settings that would change in the Mac Mini so do there is a flaw in this system or I am just really really really really dumb.

You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
These are the steps:
Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
Put it in a cheap enclosure
Connect it the new computer
Boot up new computer.
If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.
