Operating Mac OS X with Preview.app, Adobe Flash is unnecessary software!

Must I install Adobe Flash when I am using a Mac. Mac operating system is self-contained and works better without all the PC add-ons.

Follow these instructions: How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X to the letter. You'lll perform an "offline" install and be up to date.
Adobe updates are released on average about every six weeks, not once a week. In fact, the most often they've been this year was in March when a security issue was addressed and an additional Windows update was released ten days after the regular update, but that wouldn't have affected you on a Mac.

  • Resize a picture with Preview.app?

    I can't find the option to resize pictures in Preview.app :-/ And I mean the actual file/picture not just on screen zoom...
    But on the other hand when you check automator, under the 'preview.app' category you have a re-scale option and it does work so the app can do it? But where's the option in the app itself? I can't imagine that I really need to load Photoshop just to make a picture smaller :-/

    Well, im not sure that you can rescale pictures with preview app. However, there are nice free little apps you could install that will eat this job alive...And really easy to use.

  • Problems displaying a pdf correctly (both with preview and adobe reader)

    Hey guys,
    I've been having problems with displaying lecture notes (pdf files) correctly. It doesn't matter if I use preview or adobe reader.
    Can anyone please help me out?
    thanks a lot in advance,
    Simon

    Hi there,
    I have a very similar problem: a number of pdf files that I can see perfectly well in Safari/GoogleChrome do NOT show correctly in Preview or ANY iPad app I have (Notability, Adobe, PDF Expertm iAnnotate, Dropbox etc.).
    The problem is that punctuation -- with the expection of periods or bolded text -- does not show properly. For example, commas and quotation marks to not show, and some numbers to not show.
    Moreover, once I have annotated/viewed the problematic file on the IPad and resync to dropbox to view on Mac vis Adobe (which I do with most pdf files with no problems), I get an error message upon reopening the pdf file saying "Cannot extract the embedded font 'FAFWQV+--unknown-2--'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." (the 'quoted' text changes each time). When opening in Preview, no error message appears, though the fole is still lacking punctuation etc.
    Here is a link to one problematic pdf: http://niis.cass.cn/upload/2012/12/d20121201200145301.pdf
    NB: the file is in Mandarin, however I can successfully open/edit/annotate/sync other pdfs using Mandarin font so I'm not sure if the language is related to the problem.
    I would be extremely grateful for some help with this please!
    Thanks!

  • How to display rich content with URL in adobe flash builder and flex for mobile apps?

    Hi,
      In Apple IOS SDK, I used the WebView control to display the rich text with Bullets, different font style, images within the text and the URLs also within the text as HTML content.
    Clicking on the URLs automatically opens the respective webpage in Safari.
    In Adobe Flash Builder, I don't see any control straight away equivalent to Apple WebView control.
    How to implement the same using adobe and flex?

    Thanks for your reply, its nice to know its not just me.
    the error i got when submitting to the App store where due to native support for IPHONE 5 which is now mandatory (from May 1st), looking around the internet the common soloution seemed to be upgrading to Air 3.7.
    The strange erorrs on 3.7 revolve around compiling a standard / production build (fast build works fine)
    the error is always the same (snippet shown below):
    Error occurred while packaging the application:
    Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
      "__ZN7avmplus8Debugger9debugLineEi", referenced from:
          __ZN7avmplus9MethodEnv9debugExitEPNS_13CallStackNodeE in AOTBuildOutput-4.o
          __ZN7avmplus11BaseExecMgr22debugEnterExitWrapperNEPNS_9MethodEnvEiPj in AOTBuildOutput-4.o
    I have completly failed to work out why, but my gut feeling is its something to do with how the mac is compiling the code in standard build and unable to find a library it needs.
    cheers

  • Scrolling problem with preview app

    Since I use Mavericks I'm not able to scroll with 2 fingers in the preview app. Only the keyboard with the arrows works.
    can anybody help me?

    Hello Der_Chico,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with scrolling in Preview. I found a few resources that I think will help isolate and troubleshoot this issue.
    First, try booting your computer into Safe Mode and test it here:
    Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
    If the issue is not present in Safe Mode, it can mean that a third-party application set to automatically launch may be causing conflicts with Preview.
    Additionally, you can further isolate the issue by creating a new user account and testing there:
    Isolating an issue by using another user account

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Packaging adobe air with android app in flash cs5

    Hi,
    I have developed a very simple app in flash cs5 and am ready to upload it to android market. However, users need adobe air to run it. Does anyone know if there is some way to package the app with air? I want to make it as easy as possible for people to run the app. Users will be prompted to download air and I can put this information on the apps page on android market but if there is some way to iclude this in the apk I'd love to know. Can't seem to find information on it on the web.
    Thanks

    Hum, thought so. Usually if there seems to be no answer to something on the web it's not possible!! Thanks.

    1.  Re: Flash download freezes at 25%. What will help?
           Jeromie Clark     Mar 18, 2015 5:00 PM  (in response to Geri J)   
    Please use the offline installer:
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg
    Download the install package from this link.  Double-click to open it from your downloads folder; when you see the red "install" folder, right-click it and select "Show Package Contents"; click on the  "Contents" folder; then click on the "Resources" folder; then double-click on the "Adobe Flash Player.pkg" file. The installation will start.  It worked for me.... FINALLY!! I hope it also works for you.

  • HT1338 have mac os x 10.5.8 Adobe flash player wont update without 10.6 version, when i hit update software says i have latest.

    I have been having a problem for the last week.  Use pogo.com and it wanted me to update the Adobe Flash Player to play 1/2 the games on the site.  When I updated it said needed os x version 10.6 or higher for latest version.  Currently have os x 10.5.8 when I hit update software it says that I have the latest version of software and doesn't update.

    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.

  • Problem with Windows7 and Adobe Flash freezing computer?

    Hello All, There is a problem with Windows7 and my Adobe Flash causing my computer to freeze. So, Skype, videos, etc will not work. Have tried many things to solve problem. Can Oracle VM be used to run a different operating system...such as XP or Vista where Flash will work properly? I would hate to have a new operating system installed on a new computer. thanks

    If you mean Oracle VM VirtualBox, then yes, definitely. A free download, it installs and runs great on Windows 7. http://www.virtualbox.org/

  • How to have mac's on classroom network autoupdate Adobe Flash?

    I have 30 older macs running Mavericks.  Every time Adobe comes up with a flash update, I have to walk around to every computer and either log in as myself, or put in my user name and password when flash updates.  Is there any way I can have the computers do this automatically without having to do this time consuming step?  I know there is 3rd pty software that will do this, but there must be something I can configure.
    I am using ARD, is there some type of package that I can send?  Don't know how to create packages.

    They are all set that way.  This happens when one of my students goes to a website with flash content and flash hasn't been updated.  They will get a notification asking if they want to update their flash player.  If they say yes, it downloads it, and then they have to click on the installer and I have to enter my user and password on every machine for the update to occur.  As you can imagine, this is a very time consuming process and it seems like Flash updates about few weeks.
    It seems to me that I should somehow be ale to get all their machines to update flash through ARD, but I am clueless on how to create packages.  I can share files, but packages are a mystery to me.

  • Is there a known issue with Safari and Adobe Flash?

    I get the following alert on most webpages with Flash:
    The page “Macromedia - Flash Player” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available on this page:
    https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer
    I follow the link and download the Adobe Flash Player 9 for Intel-based Macs, but it does not resolve the issue. Am I missing something?

    Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2
    and then the latest version obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
