My Microsoft Silverlight just stopped working. It says that I need to reinstall so I deleted all of the files and then tried to reinstall. Now it says that a newer version of silverlight exists already but there are no versions of silverlight in the drive

What should I do?

Those instructions are somewhat out of date.  There is no WPFe.plugin.  Even these instructions are out of date.
There seems to be two of these "how do I remove and update silverlight" threads going on at the same time.  Here's a link to the other one.
I was recommending the same thing over there as here with the same lack of results.  So I'll repeat here my last post in that thread not knowing at the time I am writing this whether that suggestion will work:
I only have one idea left.  After that you need to do some google searching on "uninstalling os x silverlight".  Apparently this has caused problems for a number of folks.
Remove the following two installer receipts:
/private/var/db/receipts/com.microsoft.installSilverlightPlugin.bom
/private/var/db/receipts/com.microsoft.installSilverlightPlugin.plist
/private/var may be invisible on your system so use the Finder's Go To Folder and type (or copy/paste) /private/var/db/receipts/ and click the Go button.

  • Since March 2012 my iphoto 11 trash folder says that I have 13,346 photos in the iphoto trash, but there are no thumb nail copies in the viewer window.  I can delete additional photos but clicking on the "empty trash" button.  Any solutions?

    Since March 2012 my iphoto 11 trash folder says that I have 13,346 photos in the iphoto trash, but there are no thumb nail copies in the viewer window.  I can delete additional photos but clicking on the "empty trash" button. 
    My system trash finally emptied when I discovered "trash it!" is not longer supported by the most recent osx.  Then I found an updated version of Onyx that did work with that trash emptying problem.
    I have a total of 5,723 photos in my library.  A macdevelopers group recently started suggesting a multi library manager for iphoto to overcome some kind of library quota limitations with iphoto as opposed to "more advanced" photo handling, storing and editing programs.  If I went to a mult library manager for iphoto would that cure the apparent incongruent data retrieval problem in iphoto 11 regarding 13,346 phantom photos that will not securely delete?
    Are there any other possible solutions out there? 

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

    I've had all kinds of trouble keeping my iTunes software current over the past year, but have found the easiest way to remedy the issue is to simply download the latest version of iTunes as though I am a first-time user and then just install it into the directory my current version of iTunes is using. Doing this has allowed me to update my software without losing any of my media/data. Hope this helps! Best of luck!!!

    Then new version of IMovie imported nearly all of my video and then  suddenly closed.  Now it won't recognize the video that it stil hasn't  imported?  I took the sd card out of the canon camcorder but still won't  recognize or import it.  Is there a cache that needs cleared?

    Did you get any joy with answering this?
    My first thought was that maybe when you imported you chose to leave the files  in place rather than copy then to the iMovie library..but I can't see where that option is now.
    I too have created a short movie from load f clips..but can't export or share either..the 'Share 'menu is empty..you go to it and no sub menu appears.

    I think you have to turn off Private Browsing.
    Tap "Private" on Safari Screen to disable Private Browsing. When top of screen is white, Private Browsing is off.

  • HT2311 iTunes will not install, it says I need version 10.6.8? But there are no available updates.

    I just bought new I5. It won't connect to Itunes( The iPhone “iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.).
    I try to download new Version of Itunes. It says that i need version Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later.
    How can I update to a newer version when my computer tells me there are no available updates?? I am confused!!

    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

  • I used rename a batch to change the name of one group of pictures in an album.  After that those photos were renamed, I got a triangle icon.  I rebuilt the database.  It progressed to a point or restoring the files and then stopped.

    I then bouth iphoto library manager.  I could see the albums and folder, piad for the program and then they all went away!  Just a blank album.  I have time machine back ups....  Help?!?

    Go to your Pictures folder so you can see your library and then enter Time Machine. Go back in time till a point just before the problem happened, select the library and click on the restore button.

    When you select the Restore button you'll get this window:

  • My computer just stopped working... urgent help needed please!

    Hello all...
    Strangest thing just happened, and I'm on a pretty tight deadline.
    Powermac G5, dual 2.0. This morning the computer was working just fine. I left for a couple hours, came back, pressed the mouse to bring it out of sleep, and there was no display on either of my monitors.
    I forced a shutdown, and restarted thinking it was just a fluke... but once I restarted, no picture on either monitor. The monitor says there is no signal coming in from the computer.
    Everything sounds normal with the machine, so I tried turning up the volume from the keypad, but didn't hear anything. Tried ejecting the superdrive; nothing.
    Like I said, everything SOUNDS normal upon startup, and it even came out of sleep mode when I hit the mouse (I heard it startup), but I'm getting no response of any kind and no video out. HELP?
    Any ideas here? I'm right in the middle of an editing project, and I HAVE to have it finished by Monday (it's friday right now).
    Thanks for any and all advice.

    OK, after input from another forum, I ordered a new video card thinking it would solve the issue.
    Just installed it, and my computer is still not working. Everything starts up and sounds fine, but I have no signal to the monitors, and no keyboard response.
    I tried starting in "firewire target mode" to my laptop, and it did not work.
    I took out my main hard drive, connected it to my laptop via USB, and it works fine.
    So... it's not the hard drive, not the video card... what else could be going wrong here?

  • Starting Firefox Setup 4 10.exe German version it will unpack the file and then stop

    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate. I have downloaded Firefox Beta 4. When I doubleclick the setup.exe the window extracting shows up and runs till 100% are reached. After that nothing else happens. I have tried this with Beta 4 9 and Beta 4 10.

    See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]
    You can have infinite tabs opening if you have selected Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an ''Open with'' download window.
    Firefox should not be selected as the application to handle a file and you have to remove the action that is associated with that file type.
    You can delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf mimeTypes.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to reset all actions or set that action in Tools > Options > Applications to 'Always Ask'.
