Problem with Microsoft Silverlight Plug-in on administrative account

I've tried installing, uninstalling and reinstalling Microsoft Silverlight onto my administrative account on my Macbook and it doesn't seem to work. However, when I started a new test account and installed Silverlight, it worked perfectly. Any ideas to why my administrative account won't let me install this plug-in?

I have the same problem, I think. I migrated to my new MacBook Pro yesterday and it won't run Netflix instant play. I get error code N8156-6013 that I have an internet problem. My husband bought an identical machine and his works. All I could find is that he had an earlier version of Silverlight. I updated mine even further to see if the version I had was just incompatible - and still no go.
Any great ideas? I would happily uninstall plugins, but I don't know which to try and how to get them back if I need them!
Thanks...

Are you using the latest version of Silverkeeper? - v.2.0.2 is stated to be compatible with Snow Leopard.

If it's messing things up you could try asking LaCie Support for assistance.

I always have a problem with the silverlight plug-in crashing when I use Firefox 3.6. What is the solution to this?

The problem occurs when I try to respond to an email or forward an attachment with an email. I always get a message that "the silverlight plug-in has crashed". I send a crash report or reload the page but it does not solve the problem.

You can try to disable Out-Of-Process-Plugins for the Silverlight plugin to see if that helps. This may however cause Firefox to crash instead.

Is Microsoft Silverlight plug-in safe to run on OS X 10.7.5 ? Looking to stream download movies from Netflix

berdel,
For now, you will indeed need Silverlight for Netflix on your Mac. As rkaufmann87 suggested, you should always get any plugin directly from the manufacturer and keep it updated frequently for security reasons.
The good news is that Netflix is currently working on doing away with the Silverlight dependency. Within a few months we should all be able to cellebrate when Netflix releases a new version that uses modern HTML5 instead of Silverlight, and will run on all standards-complient browsers such as Safari, Chrome, and Firefox.

Has anyone used microsoft silverlight plug-in on a mac mini?

Does microsoft silverlight plug-in work well on a mac mini?

Some of those who thought they needed it seemed to be able
to use it in Mavericks 10.9.2; not sure how well it works in the
newer 10.9.3.
Be sure to get it from Microsoft site and not softonic or cnet
downloads where some files have been found to be of a
questionable content, or contain adware or malware.
http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/
The plugin listed for Mac OS X (intel) says it will work from
Mac OS X 10.5.7 to present; nothing about upgrade version
for Mavericks 10.9.3 specifically, so there may be issues.
Good luck!

Problems with Microsoft Word 2011

Hello,
So, I'm having a slight problem with Microsoft Word 2011. Yes, I realize this isn't exactly Apple related, but I was wondering if it had to do with a compatibility issue with Lion.
I'm running version 10.7.3, and I've found that when I try and change my language in Microsoft Word to English (Canada) - also have tried English (Britain) - and neither of them have changed successfully. My system language is also Canadian English, but none of these options seem to stop my Microsoft Word from trying to correct Canadian English spelling.
If anyone knows if there has been updates to Microsoft Word for this issue, please let me know. I thought it would be worth a shot asking here, as I could find nothing anywhere else.

You may also want to search/ask in the forums run by the make of this app to deal with its problems:

Problems with Microsoft Office

I really don't know where to post this as I can't find a Discussion forum for it, please re direct me if this is....
So I'm having a HUGE problem with Microsoft Office. I've had the Student addition, purchased it in a store, and have been using it since without any issues. Just yesterday, it told me I needed to download an update for it in the System Update. Well it downloaded without a problem, however during the installation it stalled and never completed. When I turned my computer back on, and did the System Update again, it said that my system was completely up to date. However, now the only too things in my Microsoft Office folder is PowerPoint and Excel. The other applications can not be located anywhere on my computer.
Now is there a way for me to fix this. I no longer have the CD with Microsoft Office on it because I'm constantly traveling. I'm extremely annoyed because I rely on Entourage for my emails, don't really like the Mail application. I just want to know what to do. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

When an installer 'stalls' during the installation, I'd guess you'd need to try reinstalling from the CD. I could be wrong though. Here is another forum that may help you if you don't get the answer here...

Problem with Microsoft office since new firefox installation

I have never had a problem with Microsoft Office --ever. I can have 4+ windows open at once. Since installation the latest version of Firefox many things have changed. The most troublesome is that I cannot open any office programs (word, excel, etc). They try to open and then give me an error message.

Victorymarketin, welcome to the forum.
Since they are both Microsoft programs, I suggest contacting MS Customer Service for help. They have always gotten me up and running in short order. This is always my solution when I have MS related problems. They if anyone can, will solve your problem.

I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.

I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.
At first I thought it might be because I was using simultaneously my old iPhone 4S so it somehow realized the emails where being pushed to another device and the it marked as read, this has nothing to do since I have deleted the email account from the iPhone 4S

Contact the email provider for assistance with their service.

Snow Leopard Problems with Microsoft Office 2004

I installed Snow Leopard about two months ago. Ever since I have nad problems opening Microsoft Worrd 2004. Every time I try to open Word it hangs up at "Optimizing font menu performance..." Before I installed Snow Leopard I had no problems with any Office 2004 applications. I also have a lot of problems with fonts when I open Safari.

This message occurs whenever your installed fonts change. I work for a publisher so was getting it all the time as I turned fonts on and off for different projects.
In Office 2004, do this:
1. Go to */Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Support Files/*
2. Rename or move FontCacheTool. (Requires administrator access)
In Office 2011, do this:
1. Go to *~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2011/*
2. Delete *Office Font Cache*
3. From Terminal, type touch" then drag in the Office 2011 folder
4. Back in the Finder, do Get Info on the new, empty *Office Font Cache* file. Make it read only and lock it.
Notes:
1. WYSIWYG menus will now just show the font name in standard font.
2. You may be able to disable the 'optimising' message more easily by going to Word's preferences and turning off the 'WYSIWYG font and style menus' tick box in the General section. This takes affect in all Office applications but doesn't seem as reliable at preventing the caching problem.
4. Newly added fonts should still appear when you next start an Office application.
3. However you have Office set up, it can't see certain fonts. They are the ones logged to Console, e.g.:
12/04/2011 09:58:14 /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/ATS.framewo rk/Support/fontd[21782] ATS Font family could not be created for Abaton ITC Std - Legacy Applications may not see this font

Download causing problems with Microsoft Word

Hi - I’ve downloaded Acrobat Standard subscription.
Because I couldn’t find a download button, I contacted an Adobe forum and was given another link, which allowed me to download (though with no product key – is that normal?)
What has happened is this:
During the downloading process, I was told to close other programmes, including Word – which I did. I was told that Word was not closed, but it appeared to be so I continued anyway…
I now have the problem that each time I try to open a Word doc., I get the long message that I’ve copied in below relating to a problem with/absence of macros.
Eventually I can open the Word doc by clicking the OK button 5 or 6 times – the message goes at last and I can continue. So not I’m not completely incapacitated, but it’s clearly a problem.
I’ve been in touch with Adobe by phone; but in the end your colleague couldn’t help.
So… I’m wondering – can I uninstall the programme and start again? Or might there be another way around this? I’ve tried repairing Word, but that has made no difference.I don't think I have a Serial Number.
Thanks - Laurence

Struggling to get a screen shot because I am blocked from any other actions til I get rid of the error message! However, the message reads: "The function you are attempting to run contains macros or content that requires macro language support.

This error may also occur for the following reasons:
The certificate of trust that is attached to the macro is invalid. Unless you are certain that the macro is safe, it is recommended that you not trust or run the macro.
The certificate is no longer trusted, was revoked by the issuing authority, or is damaged. Unless you are certain that the macro is safe, it is recommended that you not trust or run the macro.
Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is not installed on your computer. In this case, no VBA macro can be run, regardless of whether the macro has a valid certificate of trust. You or your administrator may have chosen not to install VBA, or the version of Microsoft Office that you are using may not install VBA by default. If your version of Microsoft Office does not provide VBA as an installable feature, you can upgrade to a version that provides VBA support.
If you are unable to change the security settings, it is possible that another program has locked the security settings. Close all Microsoft Office System programs, then restart your program and change the security settings.

Problem with Adobe Reader Plug-In (7, 8, and 9) on Windows XP

We are experiencing a problem with the Adobe Reader plug-in and viewing documents hosted at our site. The problem seems to happen with larger (over 5 MB) PDF files enabled for fast web viewing. The problem never happens when viewing PDF image only files which are not enabled for fast web viewing. The problem happens inside and outside our firewall, so it is not a firewall problem. My organization has been hosting PDF files to the web at least all this decade, and this is the first time we have experienced and documented this problem on this scale. We have ruled out the program creating the PDF file is causing the problem as I have eight sample PDF files created and modified by a variety of programs exhibiting the same issue.

I can reproduce the problem with Internet Explorer 8.0.6 and Firefox 3.5.4 using Adobe Acrobat Plug-In 7.0.9.50 running on Windows XP Professional SP3. Others have reproduced the problem with 8 and 9 versions of the plug-in on Windows XP Professional and Home. Oddly, no one has been able to reproduce the problem with Unix/Linux versions of the plug-in or third party plug-ins. This points to it being something wrong with Adobe Reader.
The problem is when I attempt to view one of the eight PDFs in my browser, I can severely stall or lock it up if I attempt to view more than the first page before the whole document downloads. Sometimes if you wait it out, the browser will unlock, but not display text on the pages. Sometimes if you wait for the whole document to load before switching pages, it works. Sometimes you can start switching pages and the document will not lock up at all. All eight documents can be viewed without issue if downloaded to the PC's hard drive and then viewed with Adobe Acrobat 7.0.
Can anyone point me to a technical document or reason why we would be experiencing this issue? Even better, does anyone know the solution to these issues?
Any help will be much appreciated.

I looked at a few documents. They appear to be scans and scans that have been OCRd. It is also likely they have not been optimized for page view. This means that the document has to be fully downloaded before viewed. That means the browser may appear to freeze until the entire document is downloaded. Downloading the entire document appears to be a reasonable way to handle these files.
