My new imac won't download flash

I've just bought a brand new imac. Day 2 and I wanted to watch something on iplayer but it keeps repeatedly telling me to download the latest version of Adobe Flash. I've done this twice and it appears to have worked but I still get the same message about needing to download Flash. What is going on???

Are you downloading and installing this: Adobe Flash Player 11.9.900.152?

My new imac won't operate youtube even after installing the latest flash

my new imac won't operate youtube even after installing the latest flash

Problem solved!
I had downloaded and then installed Flash, and restarted.
The problem? I was expecting Youtube to work as on my old PC, where you get a little pop-up menu at the bottom of the TV screen to play. pause etc. That won't happen on a Mac until you click on the oblong that says Flash in the middle - I didn't know that!
Hooray!

New iMac won't play many of my purchased iTunes songs

I have 2 of my 5 computers authorized for iTunes. My new iMac won't let me play many of songs, and I get a message that my iMac is not authorized to play the song I paid for on my other computer. I repeatedly go through the process of telling it my iMac is authorized...it agrees, then returns to tell me it cannot play my songs because my iMac is not authorized. What step am I missing?

Here is what customer service is now telling me to do:

Why my new iMac won't read my external hard drive?

Why my new imac won't read my external hard drive??

Liz,
Sorry for not responding sooner, I support your position completely - as for the external drive I assumed that the individual was a previous mac user and knew about that (my mistake) at home I have a couple of external drives
one drive is acknowledged regardless of format (mac/win) its a partitioned drive.... the other one - far as the mac is concerned does exist when i connect it. I believe its a win only drive (will have to check the specs on it) but it works on the win-notebooks.
so my point of reference was coming that perspective, with no additional posts I have to assume you had the correct answer. have a great day.

My new mags won't download even though my subscription is up to date. After 2 weeks of frustration I still am clueless. Can anyone help? I am set to automatic uploads when new mags are available and still nothing. So frustrating when I have paid for them.

Maybe you do not have enough space on iPad.

New iMac - won't read Adobe 9 or 9_

my new imac 27" OSX 10.6.2 won't read any PDF files. I get an error message saying "You can't open the appliation Adobe Reader because it is not supported on this type of Mac. i then went to the adobe web site and downloaded another version of Reader that i thought was compatible with my computer. i did not uninistall the original. now i have two versions in my applications folder, neither of them work. i was also told that to uninstall adobe is a serious matter and that if it's not done properly it could be a nightmare. it already is. Help!

Trash all versions of Reader and install the one you want.

Brother's iMac won't download updates, indicates disk is full when it's not

I convinced my bro to not purchase a Windows machine, due to spyware, viri and such. He'd been using an office pc, which had an IT department to keep the crap off and as such had a relatively problem free existence. I informed him that with a PC he'd be constantly working on keeping it virus free. Of course, with the problems described hereafter, he is having second thoughts about my advice and so am I....
Here's the story.... he had update to 10.4.11 first, after that he couldn't download Google Earth updates. He was learned of other problems because the daily Google Earth tip would come up and wouldn't go away. At about the same time, the ability to download ceased. He was trying to redownload Google Earth to take care of the earlier problem.
Of course, as a new mac user, he was sleeping his mac at night, not understanding that the OS does maintenance routines in the early morning hours. So this may have led to some of his problems.
Nonetheless, he now has a machine, which won't download.
The machine would indicate that there was insufficient disk space. But there is well over 50 gigabytes of space. Of course, we tried repair permissions, etc. We then decide to do an archive and install. The machine still won't permit downloads as it indicates there is insufficient disk space.
Short of deleting everything and reinstalling, is there anything else that can be done?

Thanks for your insights. I'm an Applejack fan too. Use it from time to time also. We tried that last evening. It wouldn't download either. Interestingly and perhaps a clue for those with more insight than me into this - nothing will download to his Mac, except, the Apple software updates. They, mysteriously to me, are permitted space to download. Is that a clue anyone can discern and to which anyone can give me some insights?
Interestingly, one of the updates is a firmware update 1.2 I recall. I told him to have backup power, in case, there is a power failure - when he does this. I'm guessing that may be part of his problem as well.
The problem with Apple is that there is no instruction book. And many folks aren't interested in delving into the complexities of command lines and such. I guess we need another Mac Bible or Mac Encyclopedia (my favourite in pre- OS X Macs). It's difficult diagnosing this stuff over the phone. I'm counting on, when I can afford it, running his computer by remote, when I can afford 10.5. Realizing I can do this now, I'm not prepared to set it up just yet.
So, thanks for the suggestions, he's going to get a flash drive, or blank cd roms and copy his stuff to a CD, then do a clean install, after he updates the firmware.
Please don't wait to write, should anyone have any further insights on this.
Don't know whether he sees any extra disk space.

DVD on new iMac won't play

I'm trying to play a commercially made DVD on my new iMac with Mt. Lion. The preferences are set to play automatically when a DVD is inserted. The title page shows up, but it won't play. When I click the play button, the 'stop' button flashes momentarily, then shows the 'play' button again. I've tried to play it using menu commands, the space bar and hitting the play button. Each time the play triangle symbol flashes to the parallel lines, but goes right back to the play triangle. This is a new imac. I've not tried to play a DVD on it before. ANyone have any ideas?

Since you list your operating system as 10.7.4, I would guess that this is NOT a "New" iMac. 10.8 has been the installed OS on new systems for quite some time. Also the new iMacs releaased last month do not contain an optical disc device. If you need a DVD player (or recorder) you will have to buy an external SuperDrive (or other similar device).
Next thing when trying to play a DVD for the first time, there is normally a DVD Region selection window that opens. There are several regions in the world and the US and some other countries use region 1. You need to have admin privlieges to make the change. ALSO REMEMBER that there are only a total of five changes you can make to the region setting. Once you make the fifth change, and that number includes the first region you select, you are stuck with remaining on the fifth change you made.
Now if the region had been changed by someone previously and you are already on the fifth change and the region selected for the fifth change does not match your DVD;s region, well you are out of luck.
You may want to check on the region setting info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
Note that the region code setting is hardware based and will not be changed by even a complete erase of the hard drive and reinstalling an OS.
Another thing to keep in mind is that recent updates to the OS will sometimes give "funny" results when you are using an external monitor (or projector). Copyright/Digital RightManagment will sometimes prevent display with anything plugged in to the Thunderbolt or MiniDisplay Port.

Brand new iMac 27" i3 is flashing blue screen

My brand new Imac (one-day old) is acting very odd as it slowly flashes a pulsating light blue screen when I try to access Apple Menu (restart/sleep/shutdown) features. No matter what I do it will not turn off. I have since had to do a hard shutdown but now it stops at an error screen upon start-up that tells me to restart!
I am Mac savvy and this has never happened to me. Prior to this happening, I called Apple Tech Support because I could not use their Mac Migration feature to move my info off of a G4 running 10.4.11. Tech support could not help either as wireless, ethernet and direct Firewire attempts yielded no Migration results. I finally had to pull the hard drive out of the G4 and hooked it up to the new iMac. Everything seemed to transfer except when it was done the contents of what I just copied thru Migration was nowhere to be found. That is when I started experiencing the slow-flash blue screen phenom and is where I am stuck today.
I am ready to take this thing back. In all my years I have never had a problem like this with an Apple product. Any help or insight will be appreciated.

ONE
Paul has given you good advice in that I would reinstall the OS from the supplied disks to get your computer working properly.
TWO
Then re-install your old programs (only those you really need since they are likely PowerPC, not “universal” Intel programs) from their original disks.
THREE
If you have the user data from the old drive backed up, then hopefully you can restore your user data to the new drive or buy an enclosure and access the old data as needed (which is what I did when originally migrating from a Power Mac G5 to the iMac (late 2009).
Alternatively, if step ONE is problematic and your machine is defective, you can likely return it to Apple within 14 days (or whatever the law is in your country) for a replacement or refund and purchase a new iMac just released today. Steps TWO and THREE still apply in this case.

New iMac won't sync with Mobile Me

I have a brand new, just out of the box last night, iMac, and I cannot get it to sync with Mobile Me.
It's an Intel Core 2 Duo, running 10.5.4.
Apparently it will not be recognized as 'registered'. The 'register this computer' window in MobileMe is just spinning, has been for half an hour. Nor does it show any of my other computers which are registered, and synced, eg., the MacBookPro, the Duel 800, nor a G4iBook. All are registered, all sync. But not the new iMac.
My phone call last evening to Apple Customer Support was a waste: he told me he didn't know about Mobile Me, and to contact them online. I did that, but Michael R. had no clue either. He told me to re-set Sync, and restart the computer. I did; it didn't fix the problem, and of course it broke the connection with him. By that time, they'd closed for the night; and they are not up for business yet on the east coast.
Can anyone help me get Mobile Me to recognize that the new iMac IS registered, such that it will let me sync my mail accounts.
So far, when I open the Mobile Me window, and try to check the box marked 'Synchronize with MobileMe', it won't let me-- everything is greyed out. When I click Advanced, and try to register the iMac, it just spins and spins...
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Hal

Hi, you may have a better response from the MobileMe forum..L

Just bought a new iMac- where to download Photoshop CS6

I'm a CC annual subscriber (or whatever they call it- I pay monthly for Adobe) and I just purchased a new iMac. I'm trying to setup everything (migration assistant didn't work). Where do I download Photoshop CS6?

You probably can't get CS6 through a CC subscription but if you're a subscriber you can get Photoshop CC through the Creative Cloud application. You can download that from this site: https://creative.adobe.com/
Once you install that, you should be able to see the CC icon in the menu bar—click that, navigate to "Apps" and download Photoshop CC!

Really hard to beleive but a new imac won't burn home movies on DVD?

Hi bite the bullet and bought a brand new imac (paid two times the price of a really nice PC) in hopes of owning a computer that would solve all my PC issues. Now that I have it at home I down loaded my family snow board trip from my camera and found out that it won't burn it to a DVD. What? Called tech support and yes it is true imac won't burn a DVD unless you buy ilife $49 and install it. Even the cheapest PC will burn a DVD this is really disappionting.I did see some free third party software and thought about trying it but I really hate to risk adding unauthorized software to my brand new computer. Is there hope on the way in the form of free update or is this what I get? Other than this I have enjoyed using it but this is really a major deficiency and a real disappointment.

I purchased the iLife 11 retail disk (I've seen it for as little as $25 at Amazon) because, in my opinion, there is no equivalent for iDVD's capabilities of adding pzazz to customizable menus/themes - taking your efforts from amateur to professional looking presentations.
And, it is somewhat disappointing since iMovie still has a link to send your movie to iDVD and the idea of being able to produce movies including making DVDs is now being "replaced" by trying to get you to post all your content online (in the cloud). For anyone concerned with their privacy, that is not an option; neither is it for people who may not even have a computer, but would love to be able to see the event they participated in on their TV.
I'd buy the iLife suite and also send feedback to Apple:

Help! New iMac won't recognize ethernet cable and can't check it

I just unboxed my new iMac and can't get on the internet (I'm on my powerbook). The problem is this; in Network, it says "The cable for Built-In Ethernet is not plugged in." Only, it is. Can't be the cable b/c that's the cable I'm connected with right now. So, I go through "assist me" and when I click on "Assistant" it takes me to the Intro page where I'm supposed to give a Location Name. I do this, calling it "home." The ver next screen, after clicking "continue" takes me to "How do you connect to the internet?" The problem here is that, of the 5 options, only one is selectable. Airport is the only one that can be selected?? "I use a telephone modem to dial my ISP" as well as "DSL Modem/Cable/Lan" are all greyed out..they cannot be selected. I use an ethernet cable. Why is this not able to be selected? It's very frustrating. I've turned off Airport and Bluetooth, yet I still cannot check any of these. I need to check "I use a cable modem to dial my ISP" but I can't b/c it won't allow me. Can anyone help me here? I can't use my brand new iMac and it's kind of a bummer. I thought these things were plug and play? Thanks.

I went and checked logs. Now, I'm not exactly sure what it means, but this is what it shows in the console.log:
Mac OS X Version 10.4.10 (Build 8R2218)
2007-09-28 08:15:33 _0400

Sep 28 08:15:43 cory/System/Lybrary/CoreServices/mcxd.app/Contents/MacOS/mcxd:
MCXD.initializeDirectoryServices: Unabe to get the ethernet address
So, I'm curious about that last line. I'm completely stumped. I'm going to have to call apple care. I plan to speak with my IT guy who installed my SW to see if there's any pref's or something that my agency puts on the agency computers that would maybe be doing this. He said he'd be doing a "build" on my machine so that I had that same software I have at work, so I could work from home. Don't know how that could cancel out my ability to select Ethernet in my Network Port Configurations, but who knows.
I'm just bummed I have a new computer and can't get it up and running.
