OS X - Silent install of 11.5 doesn't work...

I am trying to deploy 30+ installation of Adobe Flash 11.5 to OS X 10.6–10.8 clients. The first thing I did was download and read the Flash Player Administrative Guide for Flash Player 11.5 (via http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html). As it typical with Adobe "documentation", I knew this wasn't going to be pretty as soon as I got to the first line of copy under the header Silent installation of Flash Player, which says "Do the following to silently install Flash Player 11.3 on Mac". And of course, the instructions then go on to document how to silent install v11.3 on the Mac.
Unfortauntely, this "guide" is for v11.5 and 3rd step in the instructions, sudo ./Install Adobe Flash Player.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Flash Player Install Manager -install, no longer works because the file Adobe Flash Player Install Manager is no longer included in the package. Instead, it has been replaced with the file Install Adobe Flash Player. But, running the silent install command on this file is results in the GUI-based installer window opening on the client system and a manual interaction is then required to continue with the installer. So, I wouldn't really consider this a "silent" install...
Anyway, am I missing something here, or is this just another case of a poor Adobe installer combined with bad Adobe documentation?
Thanks!
Kristin.

I am having the exact same issue and am searching for a solution. Any updates on this?
Thanks,
Dex

The plus sign next to my tab stopped working: when I click on it nothing happens. I tried uninstalling and re-installing and it still doesn't work.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

When I try to launch itunes I get an error mesage saying that Apple application support was not found and suggests that I uninstall and re-install it, but that doesn't work

When I try to launch itunes I get an error mesage saying that Apple application support was not found and suggests that I uninstall and re-install it, but that doesn't work

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
Start with the section Install missing components which should address your particular error. Otherwise the steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

After installing Mountain Lion, TextEdit doesn't work anymore.

Before, I used OS 10.6.8, but tonight after updating the new system Moutain Lion, TextEdit doesn't work any more.
TextEdit is something I use offen, I need a solution.

Image Capture is one of the applications that comes with the OS and there doesn't appear to be a separate download for it. You would have to reinstall the OS to get in back if it isn't there.
Depending on the printer you have, you may have an option to scan from System Preferences/Print & Scan.
try deleting the .plist - com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist(s) from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Re-installing CS3 (Design Premium) doesn't work

I had a crash on my iMac. When I tried to re-install my (in 2007 purchased) CS3 software, I got the message that it was an invalid serial number.
Also "redeeming" the number through the site doesn't work.
I have used the software for 7 years now, why doesn't it work anymore? I payed a conciderable amount of money for it, 2400 euro's and I want it to work again soon!
Please tell me what to do, or what you can do!

Installing 8.1.052 doesn't work... and now I've lost the previous version!

Tried to download and install 8.1.052 (using both Apple installer and 'download only' +manual installation). As soon as I select installation options/directory it says "itunes installer completed. The installer encountered errors before itunes could be configured. Your system has not been modified". I have deleted the update, done a cold reboot, re-downloaded and tried again, but it doesn't work... and now my old shortcuts etc. to itunes have disappeared! Any suggestions please?

It may be you got no responses here because your questions really belong in other forums:

UCCX 7.01, fresh install - SQL Reuse Utility doesn't work

I am installing a fresh copy on UCCX 7.0 on two 7845 servers. As per the uccx70ig, after installing UCCX, before reboot, you install SQL. I have an MS SQL 2K CD from 4.0(5a), I installed the SQL Reuse Utility (SQLUtilTool.exe, v2.0.3) in the appropriate directory. After the "disable CSA", etc messages, I quickly get a message that the SQL install failed, look at C:\WINNT\setup.log for messages.
There is nothing in there to indicate the problem.
Anyone had this issue before? Thanks.

Thanks, Anthony. The ZIP file, v2.0.3 was downloaded and expanded into a C:\SQL2K directory as per the instructions. The C:\WINNT\setup.log file that the failure message pointed me to shows the following:

When reinstalling OS X with install disk, wireless mouse doesn't work

I have an unusual problem: My iMAC G5 hard drive died and I installed a replacement disk. Now, I am trying to reinstall OS X 10.3 with the help of my original install CDs that came with the iMAC.
Unfortunately, my wireless mighty mouse doesn't react anymore and I cannot proceed with the installation through keyboard commands alone. I get stuck at the first install window where the system asks for the operating system language.
I am clueless how to proceed since I don't have access to any utilities to test or connect the mouse because OS X is not installed yet. I tested the mouse on another Mac and it works. Any clues? Thanks for your help.

I solved my problem by using the original mouse

New iMac, migrated from macbook and now mail won't work. Tried re-installing operating system, still doesn't work. Can anyone help me to get mail working? thanks

I just bought a new iMac and I thought that it would be simple to migrate from my MacBook.
I have a time machine back-up so I decided to migrate using that. Everything seemed to instal pretty well with the exception of mail. To begin with I had 2 mail icons, then I started to read some forums and checked that i had the one I wanted in the applications folder, deleted the other and then downloaded the new operating system. Mail had to be force quit first and even when the download was complete Mail still wouldn't open or run. The only thing I can do is compose a new message, but I can't see my inbox at all.
It's really frustrating and I would love to know in a simple step by step guide how to get mail up and running with my existing migrated emails in it.
If anyone can give me some advice that would be great.
thanks in advance.

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

[SOLVED] Installing VLC from Extras doesn't work.

Hey guys,
During installation I enabled the pacman repository mirror for my country. Which is hosted by Kangaroot.net
Just now I tried to install VLC media player. Oddly enough pacman couldn't find a couple of dependency packages on the Kangaroot mirror.
To fix this I went into /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and enabled all the mirrors from Germany. I figured that would fix it.
Seems that the German mirrors are missing the same packages though. This is pacman's output:
error: failed retrieving file 'libdvbpsi-0.2.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz' from mir.archlinux.fr : Not Found
error: failed retrieving file 'ffmpeg-20111108-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz' from archlinux.polymorf.fr : Not Found
error: failed retrieving file 'libupnp-1.6.13-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz' from archlinux.polymorf.fr : Not Found
error: failed retrieving file 'vlc-1.1.12-3-i686.pkg.tar.xz' from mir.archlinux.fr : Not Found
When you look up "Archlinux" on the videolan.org website it claims VLC ought to be available in the Extras repository.
What am I missing?
Last edited by 20k (2011-11-26 21:26:44)

Am I right in understanding that because pacman's database was not properly updated it couldn't find the same packages on other mirrors either?
Yes. Your database was out of date, therefore pacman was looking for things which would no longer exist on any up to date mirror.
EDIT: If your problem is solved, please edit your thread title to reflect this

Acrobat 11 install looks good but doesn't work (Adobe Reader has stopped working)

Win 7 64-bit laptop. Download/install from Adobe site looks fine, but can't successfully open existing PDF file. Page one of the PDF appears, but then error message above with the following text appears: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program a notify you if a solution is available. Previous release of Reader all worked fine. Recently installed Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X and Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin. I think (but could be wrong) that Reader XI was fine before this.
Clearly this is a show-stopper issue re: my use of Reader. Please advice. Thanks!

Some things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Install-WindowsFeature with -source doesn't work

I use MDT (2012 U1) to create my servers.
I use a task to capture and another to deploy my capture. Basics tasks !
It works fine.
But when I want to install a removed feature, like XPS-Viewer, it failed.
It failed only if I use the WSUS tasks or if I don't use them but wait my deployed server update via my WSUS during the night.
To install the feature I use this command line :
Install-WindowsFeature XPS-Viewer -source wim:d:\sources\install.wim:2
My iso is well present and it is the same command line I use and works when no updates are done.
Could you help me ?
Thank you.
Ludovic.
