Need to Update Flashplayer but I have the most recent one.
Hi. I will start by saying that I am computer illiterate, so I will need careful and patient help. Here is my issue: Whenever I try to play a video, You Tube or otherwise, I am told I need to update flashplayer. When I go to update it, I am told that I need to close windows messenger. According to my settings, messenger is disabled. Whenever i get rid of the messenger box, I am told that installation is incomplete. Also, according to my settings, I have the most recent version of flashplayer installed, 10.1.102.64, the one for IE.
On a totally unrelated note, what is the difference between Spyware and anti virus protection? I have McAffee.
Will appreciate your help.
Hi, Thanks for stating that you are not so experienced with computers. We don't have any way of knowing until we're told:-)
I need your computer info, as XP, Vista, Win7? Also what version of the IE browser? If you don't know, go up to Help at the top of the IE and click on it, then About Internet Explorer.
I'll post the info on Anti-Virus/Spyware next.
Thanks,
eidnolb

Trying to open a recent Pages document - get the message I need a newer version of Pages. Apps indicates I have the latest version.
Kind of feels like I'm running word... Ugh.You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

I am told I need to update Flashplayer. I have downloaded the update 5 times and installed it successfully on FireFox but Safari still says I need to update. I have gone so far as to restart before re-opening Safari. What am I not doing?
Enable plug-ins.
Safari > Preferences > Security
Web content:
Is the box next to "Enable plug-ins" checked?
Best. -
I just found my old ipod touch (i think 1st generation) and would like to let my toddler use it instead of my phone. I am trying to download apps but it say I need to update to 4.3 but it won't let me update. I have the most recent itunes. any idea why? I saw a thread saying to purchase the newest software (that was posted a few years ago) I paid 4.95 for the software and it's still saying it can't be updated. Am I just SOL??
The 1G iPod can only go as high as 3.1.3. The 1G does not have an internal speaker or volume buttons on the upper left edge.

To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.

My Ipad which has a capacity of 28.5 GB (and I have used less than 10), is telling me when I want to update the ios system that I have the latest version (which they say is 5.1.1). This is not true. As I need version ios8 to download apps. Can anyone tell me why I cannot download the latest version and why my ipad keeps telling me I have the most recent version? I went into my Itunes account and tried to update it there while connected, but it is also telling e I have the latest version (5.1.1) too! Why is this happening and what can I do to obtain the upgrade?
Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.

I cannot get the thumbnails for my catalogue. I have tried downloading the Lightroom program again and it tried to fix it but could not. I have gone to the page to check off thumb nail and that hasn't made any difference. I have the most recent update of lightroom. I can download the picture but I do not know which picture it is. This is frustrating as we are on vacation and i casnnot work on my pictures.
Hello,
There are two different things here, an OS update and a software update.
Mac OS X 10.5 is the version of OS while the .8 at the end is the software update (release patches)
The most current software update for Mac OS X 10.5 is 10.5.8
No more software updates available. You would need to upgrade the OS, which would be to Mac OS X 10.6
Your new iPhone 5 would require iTunes 10.6 which is only available for OS X version 10.6.8 or later.
Your would therefore need to upgrade your Macbook to this version of OS.
It maybe brought on DVD via Apple directly (Contact Apple ) or using any good online vendor like Amazon.
Best of luck -
Im using Itunes version 10.6.3 to try to restore my Ipad. Check for updates tells me this is the most recent verion, but its also telling my I cant restore my Ipad because its doesnt have the software available yet.

I recently updated my Firefox to version 6.0. When it re-opened after installation there was a message that I didn't have the most recent version. I ran the update set-up again but got the same message. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it from a fresh download but it's still happening.
I've restarted the computer several times. It doesn't seem to have helped. Any ideas?* Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
* Install the new version that you have downloaded.

I'm trying to view a site that sends a message that I don't have the most recent graphic card drivers to view with. It suggests I have the ability to view, but that my drivers might be disabled. I don't know how to check to see what graphic drivers my macbook (end of 2008 model) have enable. Can someone help?
You don't need to care about graphic driver on Mac OSX. It includes in OSX and run the driver your MacBook need.

How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software. I downloaded open office to my mac to try and save money. It worked well for a while. Now I get this pop-up message that asks me to "Reopen" and when I select the option, nothing happens. I cannot save my documents anymore and I cannot convert them to word. Help!

Does OpenOffice output Word documents by default or do you have to select it manually?
You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc files, yes it needs to be saved manually.
You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one. Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11' -

i dont even know if im in the right community.
anyway, the thing im having trouble with is syncing my notes. im pretty sure i have the most recent software for the iphone 3, i think. however, i've never been able to sync notes from the iphone to my laptop. i havent even had the option before. i do now, but on the info tab for my iphone, the one that pops up when it's plugged into the laptop, it has the option to check the box next to sync notes with... however, there's nothing on the drop down menu, so even with the sync notes with.. option selected, nothing happens.
i have 350+ notes, so emailing them to myself is out of the question. any help would be much appreciated!!I deauthorized and then reauthorized my iTunes and this seems to have done the trick!

I used to be able to print a mosaic CD cover from the print tab after purchasing music but after downloading the most recent (10.2.2) version I cannot. Though it seems to be showing the mosaic cover in the print set-up it prints a play list only. Can someone respond with help in fixing this? I've tried several times with different down-loaded music but no success.
The recent releases of iTunes have brought a bunch of bugs into the printing of CD covers.
Some people report that directing the iTunes print output to PDF, and then printing to paper from the PDF, solved their problem. Others have reported that it did not help. Worth a try. -
