Need to Uninstall AIR on Old iMac running Tiger

Please ! Help me! 
I'm on an iMac 5,1 running OS 10.4.11
I had a HD crash earlier this week and am running from my External backup HD.  I bought a second ext. HD and need to backup to that to protect everything.  I spent 10 hours copying to the new HD only to have it fail because of AIR with this message :
| 08:34:39 AM | Error | ditto: /Library/Frameworks/Adobe AIR.framework/Versions/1.0/Resources/it.lproj/AuthDialog.nib/./keyedobjects.nib: Input/output error
I need to UNINSTALL AIR from my Ext HD - the version I have of AIR is: CFBundle version: 1.5.0.7220
I tried Adobe Chat and they sent me here.
Inside my Finder I have:
/Applications/Utilities/Adobe AIR Application Installer
and
/Applications/Utilities/Adobe AIR Uninstaller
If I click on the Uninstaller, it gives me a message that says "An error occurred while uninstalling Adobe AIR.  Uninstallation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator."
I am the only user/owner/administrator
Can someone PLEASE help me get this AIR off my HD so I can finish my backup?  I have NO IDEA what AIR is or what it does.
Thank you so much in advance for helping me!!!! 

Try deleting your /Library/Frameworks/Adobe AIR.framework folder manually.  That should allow you to reinstall AIR from the runtime installer which you can get here:  http://get.adobe.com/air

  • Issues with FP on old iMac running 10.6.8

    Hi,
    I'm sorry if this has been posted before, but I am having issues with installing FP on my old iMac running 10.6.8.
    It seems to go through the motions, but it doesn't appear to install properly, as some websites are blank.  Has this happened to anyone else?  Is there a possible solution?
    If I am not able to make FP 13.0 work on this computer, I may have to revert back to an older version of FP.  All my usual websites worked well on FP 12.0, but not on 13.0.  Does anyone know where I can install an older version of FP?  I looked everywhere on the website but everything forced me back to FP 13.0, and there is no way of circumventing it.
    Thank you so much for your help and attention to my dilemma.
    Kind regards,
    GrandSlam

    I had problems after updating Flash Player on my 10.6.8 too, so I went back to 11.9.900.117 and everything worked again.
    I was afraid Adobe had dropped support for 10.6 already, so I didn't do any updates after that.
    But now I think there was some incompatibility only with that particular version (I don't remember the number), because just now I've installed 13.0.0.214 and things work as desired.

  • Newbie Question: Do mobile apps created in flash builder 4.7 need to install Air in order to run?

    Do mobile users using Android/Apple apps created in flash builder 4.7 need to install Air in order to run the apps? Can the apps be ran without Air installation?

    I haven't seen this come up, however you might want to give our latest AIR 3.5 build a try (12/11/2012 - AIR 3.5 Runtime and SDK Update).  If it still occurs, could you please open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com?  Please post back with the URL so that others affected can add their comments and votes.

  • I have just about given up trying to download Mavericks for my 6-month old iMac running OS X 10.8.5. Each time it gets to around 996mb and stops. Any suggestions welcome.

    Thanks Giancarlo. The problem turned out to be my modem/wireless router, which has now been replaced and the problem solved.

  • I transferred settings and files from old MacBook air to new one.  New one now gives popup about failing to connect to server (old iMac).  the new Mac air and old iMac have never met and are 2000 miles apart. How do I stop the popups?

    Change your settings in Sharing preferences, for one, and remove the server out of the Finder's sidebar. Obviously, this is the result of transfering all your other computer's preferences to your new computer.

  • Wait, I'm a little confused. On my day old iMac running Mavericks, do I install iDVD from my iLife 11 disk, or somehow copy the app from my existing iMac and install it on my new one?

    The following may be a bit easier set up the new Mac with the same iDVD capability on your old Mac:
    1 - copy your current iDVD application from the old Mac to the Applications folder of the new Mac. The latest version available is 7.1.2.  If you don't have that versoin go to the Apple Downloads site and download the iDVD 7.1.2 updater and run it on your current iDVD application.
    2 - copy the iDVD folder that resides in the old Mac's HD/Library/Application Support folder to the same folder on your new Mac.

  • What makes a ten year old iMac run slow?

    what makes a 8 year old iMac run slow? Its 2.16 ghz intel core 2 duo processor Memory 2gb 667 mhx ddr2 sdram

    What Mac OS are you running?
    See if any of these items apply:
    1) Are you running any anti-virus/internet security applications?
    2) Are you running any "cleaning/tune-up/optimizations" applications?
    3) Any peer-to-peer or torrent downloading software?
    4) Any third-party disk backup software that came bundled with an external hard drive?
    5) Any online backup scheme other than iCloud (Carbonite; GoogleDrive; MS One Drive)?
    6) Did your financial institution ask you to install Trusteer EndPoint Protection (also known as Trusteer Rapport)?
    An overly full hard drive can slow things down, too, especially in a computer with only 2GB RAM.

  • Upgrading from a G5 iMac running Tiger to a new iMac.

    I am upgrading from a G5 iMac running Tiger to a new iMac, can I use 32Gb SD Card to move iphotos, itunes, ivideos? If so, how do I do it and insure I keep slideshows, playlists etc. I have built in iphoto, itunes etc.

    Your Tiger iPhoto library may need upgrading with a Apple Library updater tool before you can use it with iPhoto '11. Reference. More iPhoto help just in case.
    Make sure that that SD card is an SDHC card, and not just an SD card, or it may not be readable in your new iMac.
    Here is the layout of the iTunes 11.0.1 Music folder on OS X 10.8.2. It may vary from what you have on Tiger.
    Read the following articles before you move your iTunes library from Tiger.
    iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder.
    iTunes: What are the iTunes library files?
    When you are satisfied that your iTunes content is moved over to Mountain Lion, you may wish to deauthorize the G5 from iTunes.

  • My laptop died. I've dusted off my old iMac running OSX 10.2.8 and want to upgrade firefox to 3.5 or 3.6. Looks like I can't do that - where would I find older versions of firefox to update to?

    My now dead laptop was running Firefox 3.6. It died. Now I have my old iMac out of storage. It has Firefox 2.0.0.1 on it. I'm using it now. Check for updates says I can go as high as 2.0.0.20. I'd like to upgrade the iMac to the most current operating system it can work with (right now it's at OSX 10.2.8), and then get Firefox up to the most current version this can run. I tried searching for older firefox versions to download, but can't seem to find them on your website. (I used search term "download Firefox 3.5"). I did this to check and see what OSX version they can work with. Let me know what I need to do. Thanks!

    Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever release for Mac OSX 10.3.9 and earlier versions. <br />Get it here: <br />
    https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/
    System requirements for Firefox 3.5: <br />
    Mac OS X 10.4 and later, Macintosh computer with an Intel x86 or PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor, 128 MB RAM (Recommended: 256 MB RAM or greater), 200 MB hard drive space <br />

  • How to transfer data off HD of old iMac running OS 10.5.8 onto new iMac running yosemite

    my older brother's 24" iMac  running Leopard 10.5.8  is having issues and shuts itself off without notice so we got him a new 27" iMac off the apple website. 
    We also bought the Apple Extended warranty due to his & my computer skills are limited plus he lives in another state  for a quick drop by to help with my limited skills as well. 
    His local non apple tech person thinks the old iMac probably has an issue with Mother board causing computer to shut itself down and suggested  replacing old mac  with a newer one which we did.  
    I was visiting my older brother who lives out of state a couple weeks ago when the new iMac arrived so I tried to transfer data off old HD to new iMac via USB cable but got error message saying the old iMac also had to be running OS Yosemite!   
    Due to how far back his old iMac OS version is, and not knowing where / how to get the newer  OS disks needed what are his options to get data from Old iMac to new iMac? 
    Also, his old iMac shut down again and he has not been able to get the old mac to start back up so upgrading OS's does not seem to be an option now. 
    Before his mac shut down, my brother  thinks someone told him that if he had iCloud set up his data could transfer via iCloud?   I have no idea if that is correct nor how to set that up.
    if i remember correctly when i was there a couple weeks ago when the old iMac was running during the process of trying to transfer data I think the new computer  also gave another option on how to transfer-migrate data but I don't' remember what that was?
    DUE to the old imac may not start up again, can't he have the old iMac HD removed and put into an external case and plug it into new iMac as and external HD & then take files off for use on the new iMac?
    any and all suggestions / help will be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Bob

    Thanks  that was very helpful for transferring files and looks like it solves the problem with not having to update the Operating Systems to Yosemite.  
    I forgot to ask about how does one transfer actual Programs like MS Office for example from  the old drive? 
    Transferring files using the drag and drop process is simple enough but don't actual Programs like MS Office have a much more complicated/larger data package that may be located in various places on the old HD versus files are much smaller and are in one place?  
    If I remember right when i got a new iMac a few years ago, my old mac was still working so i was able to use a cable to transfer data & programs off it to newer iMac and  ALL of the Programs like Office etc. transferred over including user accounts etc.?  I may be wrong as its been a few years?
    Again  Any help & or suggestions are appreciated!
    Thanks

  • I need cleaner, drier air for my iMac

    My 27 inch iMac and I live in tropical Mexico.  This is a high heat, high humidity area, made even more hostile to electronics because we live ocean front.  Our air has a high salt content.  I have lost two iMacs to this environment.  The last lost was very young, well within Apple's warranty, but all is void if the internal sensors turn red, indicating condensed liquid.
    Often, when I start up my newest iMac, I can see that the inside of the screen is fogged.  This eventually defogs but obviously, my machine is wet inside and probably not long for this world.  (A crusted up, damaged power supply has been the diagnosed problem previously.  Too expensive to fix.)
    Can someone tell me please, which vents suck air and which expel?
    I know that if I attach something to blow cleaner, drier air into my iMac, I will wind up with something clunky looking, but I cannot afford to replace these iMacs every 9 or so months.
    For starters, I have bought a large canister of desiccant.  I am not sure how it might be of use... Actually, I am totally unsure of how to proceed.
    Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.
    Tom

    I apologize if I seemed to shout down the AC option, which is definitely a more complete solution.  And losing $2000 of computers due to cheaping-out on the environmental solution is not wise.
    I just thought that if the device needs to run 24/7, lower power draw in a dehumidifier may still do enough, especially if there is already central AC that just needs help.
    But I live in only semi-humid Ohio, so I am probably completely out of my depth.

  • Firewire Cable Needed For File transfer Between Old iMac & New iMac.

    I have an iMac G4 (Flat Panel) - just got the the iMac 21.5! Need to transfer files between old & new iMac.
    Is the 6 pin to 6 pin the correct cable I'm going to need to get my files transfered ???

    No. The new iMacs have FireWire 800, which is 9-pin. Older Macs have FireWire 400, which is 6-pin. You need something like this.
