Problem! Flash on Mac

Hi I'm new to this, I have Flash CS3 on my Mac powerPC G5 OSX
10.4.10
when trying to apply a timeline effect eg a transition, first
of all I get a Javascript error msgs (SyntaxError:missing ) after
argument list, then TypeError:Object.fxutil has no properties, then
SyntaxError: unterminated string literal. Then the module comes
into view with out any preview if I try to update view then
javascript errors show again if I change a param in the module
click update I get the Javascript errors again.
If I hit the ok then the timeline effect is applied which I
ok but to have no preview um?
I think Flash is not passing info to the Effects scripts, It
could be something to do with the permissions on my mac I'm at a
loss
Can anyone please help!
Oh and how do you get in contact with adobe ? with out having
to pay through the nose for the privilage to get some online help
or even
help on the phone?

There is an "Accept" box you need to check before the Install button activates. It's a dark background so it might not be clearly visible, but you have to accept the terms before you can install it.

Unable to Install Flash on Mac OS X Mountain Lion

I have attempted several times to install Flash Player (11.7.700.225) on Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4), and every time I attempt to install it hangs on 20% during installation. I have ensured that there is no flash player installed on the Mac currently, and I have also deleted the original Flash download and re-downloaded a couple of times. I also attempted the troubleshooting solution (#7) found here http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html#main-pa rs_header_0. However, this leads me nowhere because as you can see, my resources folder doesn't contain a .pkg file, nor do any of the other folders in the Contents folder (at least from what I can see). Do you have any other solutions for this problem? Cheers.

Try this installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg

Can't install latest version of flash on mac osx!

I've been trying to install the latest version of Flash on my mac but at 30% the download stops and says that the connection is lost and the installation failed.
I have already uninstalled, ran a clean install, tried other browsers and nothing has been working. Can anyone help?!

Hello,
I'm assuming your attempting to use the online installer, downloaded from get.adobe.com/flashplayer. Please try the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page.

Problem: Flash update on Mac OS 10.411

A few days ago I was prompted to update Flash Player (youtube videos had suddenly stopped playing on the old version I had) and went ahead and did it. I go through the installation process and as far as I can tell nothing goes wrong. But I still can't watch videos online and the same message is always displayed "you need to update Flash, etc."
I have Mac OS 10.411 which I guess is 64-bit. I have Safari 4.1.3. I can't update Safari any further with the current OS. I can't download newer versions of Chrome or Firefox.
What I've done so far x 10:
-run the uninstaller
-run the installer ["Flash Player 10.3 for Mac OSX 10.4-10.5 (Intel)" on the installation page]
-checked http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about
to test if any older versions are still installed on the computer. Just says "missing plug-in", so I guess not.
I see under system preferences that version 10.3.183.10 is installed, which is the newest version the site gives me.
Thanks for looking at my question. Anyone know what to do?

We both have Tiger installled otherwise known as os 10.4.11, as well I have safari 4.1.3 and flash 10.1 , I believe flash 10.3 will not work with OS 10.4.11 (its for a higher version of lion or leopard or something)
Make sure box in preferences advanced tab "show Develop menu in menu bar" is checked as I mentioned before and then do a 10.1 flash download in that order, I think I read flash 10.3 is too high for safari 4.1.3 and Flash 11 is definitely too advanced for Tiger, as well Tiger can not run Firefox or Chrome as a browser, thus the need to get a version of flash that works on your OS Safari version ..hope this [email protected],   FYI: You should google the error message that pops up in quotes along with your os version for good search results of any issue.

I have the same problem!
I also have mac osx 10.4.11(intel) and was asked to upgrade to the latest flash player...but when I did, suddenly couldn't load/watch any videos.
Tried the same things you did, to no avail (uninstalled and installed flash player 10.3 over and over, and still nothing)..it's as if i didn't install it when I did.
And because of my os version, can't avail of the archived flash players on this site
Help please!
I tried fixing my Safari preferences but still doesn't work.

Flash cs4 mac - Error opening URL '/:Users:someting.swf' - Not a "loading external content" problem

Hello.
I am having a weird problem when trying to test a movie or publish preview -> flash on mac with Leopard os.
The result is a blank movie with the usuall "movie not loaded" if u right click on it and the output returns the "Error opening URL 'the path of the swf here'.
This has nothing to do with loading external files or something like that. It happens even in blank movies and it gives the same error if I try to open a swf from flash ide.
I can publish the project or export the movie with no problem at all.
I can preview the movie in html. I can run all the swf files in my hard disk, network, usb stick, dvd etc., but when I try to open any of these files from flash ide I got that stupid error.
Its not something that stops me from working in flash ide but its slow to export movie any time I want to test it.
Things that I've tried so far but nothing worked:
Update the flash cs4 to the latest version
Update the flash players
Restored the release flash player as default player (I am using as default the debug player)
Cleared the preferences
Move the flash cs4 folder to another location in hd
Saved the fla document first before testing the movie (in different places with or without spaces in document name or folder)
Give read & write permissions for everyone for flash.app, players and for fla files when saved first before test movie
Unistall and install the application 3-4 times.
Test every as version just in case.
Also I've checked the folders when testing movie and I can see that it creates an swf file, which I can run it outside flash ide (the one that the flash ide player cannot load) with no problem.
The mac os has the default set up as it came. Nothing chnaged in permissions or security settings.
Thanx in advance.

In this particular example I am using this code to start the
xml file load:
// now load the XML file that contains the content strings
var sXMLFile:String = "xml/home.xml";
var xmlContent:XML = new XML();
xmlContent.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlContent.onLoad = onXMLLoadComplete;
xmlContent.load( sXMLFile );
But I don’t think the code is the problem here . This
happens on every file I load when I am using a relative path to the
content, regardless of how I load the content (XML object,
loadMovie, MovieClipLoader, etc…) and the same code executes
perfectly on every other machine in the office(Mac and PC).
I’m more concerned with the semi-colons and .swf filename
that Flash is putting into my relative path on the error message.
Is that normal?

I do not recommend reformatting your harddrive and reloading your software. This is a Windows thing. On an older mac it may be difficult to find all your software again.
Best to have greater than 2gig of free space. Many posters to these forums state that you need much more free space: 5 gig to 10 gig or 10 percent of you hd size.

Be careful when deleting files. A lot of people have trashed their system when deleting things. Place things in trash. Reboot & run your applications. Empty trash.
Go after large files that you have created & know what they are. Do not delete small files that are in a folder you do not know what the folder is for. Anything that is less than a megabyte is a small file these days.

Run
OmniDiskSweeper
"The simple, fast way to save disk space"
OmniDiskSweeper is now free!

This will give you a list of files and folders sorted by size. Go after things you know that are big.

Buy an external firewire harddrive.
For a PPC computer, I recommend a firewire drive.
Has everything interface:
FireWire 800/400 + USB2, + eSATA 'Quad Interface'
save a little money interface:
FireWire 400 + USB 2.0
This web page lists both external harddrive types. You may need to scroll to the right to see both.

Hi Jamie, It sounds like the directory is corrupted or your HD is going bad.
Did you check the system profiler and see if the S.M.A.R.T passed. Do you have TechTool or Disk Warrior? There are some programs out there that will allow you extract information from a dieing drive.
The flashing question mark is telling you that it cannot find a functional operating system. And disk utility will only repair drives with a bootable OS.
I know you said you did but, did you boot _from the install disc_ and run disc repair?
I'll see what software for recovery there is for free.....

Help! The problem Flash Plugin was not found !

Help!
I get a message in Dreamweaver
The problem Flash Plugin was not found ! To view Flash content in Live View install the
Netscape/Firefox Flash Plugin from "adobe.com".
I only use Chrome and Internet Explorer, I haveinstalled Safari and Firefox.
What to do?

Unfortunately Flash is installed in different ways on different browsers. I have the whole CS suite, so it might be possible there is no Flash player installer in the basic DW installation. What you need to do is as DW is telling you and download the Flash Player to install. IE uses ActiveX to install Flash and Chrome has it's own and Google updates the Flash player with its browser which may not directly correspond to the Adobe updates.
If you go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ in IE click on the "Different Operating System or Browser?" link at the top. Click on your operating system which I will assume is Windows because the Mac only has one installer and you don't strike me as a Linux or Solaris user. Then select "Flash Player 10.3 For Windows - Other Browsers". Run the installer and you will be good to go.

Flash and Mac Power PCs..

Hi Everyone,
I am having a problem with my dual GHz G5 power PC mac and Flash. Recently, all of a sudden sites that use flash have been causing both firefox (3.6.21) and safari to crash so I decided to uninstall flash and download the most up to date version (I have up until recently been offline for a while). Obviously then I discovered that flash for power PCs is not made any more so I had to download the most recent PPC version (10.1 I believe). However, now that I have installed this, the same problem keeps happening.
Does this mean that I am unable to get the right version of flash and that my G5, which is only 6 years old, will now be largely unable to properly browse the net? I know that Macs now use intel processors but surely I have some option?!
Thanks in advance guys

Hi,
Thanks for the advice, but I have already done this but it doesn't seem to be working properly. When I click on the flash install icon a box appears with the adobe logo and two smaller boxes inside that are clickable, but that have no writing on them. There is also a smaller box to the left of the larger one that I an click on and make a tick appear, which then allows me to click on the right hand box. I am then asked to type in my password and then it takes me to a progress bar but still absolutely no text..
I have no idea whats going wrong! Any other ideas?!
Thanks in advance

You are correct that the latest version of Flash Player no longer supports PPCs. However, you can grab the last release of Flash Player to support PPC here:

However, I can not bring them to him on a Flashdrive when I meet with him without an extraordinary amount of presssure on my part. THis is not just some little email issue.

Intel vs. flash in mac

what we can do to resolve the problem with a flash to preview the internet pages ....u know the intel proccesors have problems with flash in mac...

There is a simple resolution available for this Safari/Flash plugin issue.
This is an excerpt taken from a discussion thread at
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2760045&#2760045
"The Intel version of the Flash player was already installed when you received your computer. By using the online installer you've overwritten the one that was already there. The new Flash 9.x.x Intel Beta version is here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/public_beta/."

It maybe trying to boot from the incomplete install.
Try starting your Mac while holding down the Option key, it should then list all the available boot drives including the Mac OS X one. Boot from the Mac one and then you can wipe the damaged PC one or set the Mac to stay booting in to OS X.

Problem between a Mac Pro / 01-2007 and ATI Radeon X1900XT

Hello,
My friend has bought a second hand ATI Radeon X1900XT with a fan Zalmann Fatality VC-ZV9 and has the following problems. She can switch on her computer without any problem and the card works fine (Photoshop, ...) As soon as she launches Secondlife client, the screen gets black few minutes after, and if she tries to switch off and on the screen, it says "No signal" anologic or digital. This card is reported to work very well with Secondlife. It can't be overheat, since it comes very quickly, and just after the crash, she can touch the card which is not hot. The fan works fine. How can I investigate to find out what goes wrong with this card ? Her computer is a Mac Pro bought in January 2007 with 3 Gb RAM and Leopard. The problems has occured before 10.5.3 version of Leopard was installed. I've made a test of the Video Memory with Techtool Deluxe and it didn't find any problem.
Thank you

I think I'm having a similar problem: running a Mac Pro/ATI Radeon X1900XT. Was having issues with general artifacts that seemed to come and go randomly. The machine got very hot one day when the AC was not on and the office was closed: random artifact "pixel dots" became lines on the screen, and then the entire screen just went black.
I had to do a hard shut down, and it's happened several times since. When I pulled the ATI card out, there was considerable dust built up at the intake which I cleaned out. It hasn't blacked out again, but the artifacts remain on the screen.
I suspect the card is about to die, but was trying to see if anyone else had this experience? Also, if anyone recommends replacing it with the same card, or if there is a better recommendation? I do general design and photo editing, no gaming and nothing very intense.
Thanks for the help!!
