Re: SeaMonkey Snow Leopard Flash compatibility
System: OS X.6.8 Snow Leopard
Browser: SeaMonkey 2.25
Flash Player: currently installed is version 10.3.183.86
The Adobe Flash Player page on compatibility by operating system and latest version of Flash Player
only mentions SeaMonkey under the Linux operating system. Under Mac OS it mentions Safari, etc.
but not SeaMonkey.
What is the latest version of Flash compatible with both Snow Leopard and with SeaMonkey???

Mike, thanks. I see that on some of your other posts you recommended a clean install, deleting a couple files. Do you think it wise I clean and then install Flash 12?
Unless you experience trouble with a regular install, it isn't necessary... more thorough, yes, and it doesn't take much longer, but it's not a necessity.
If it suits you...

Snow Leopard Flash Player Security Vulnerability
In the "What were they thinking?" department, various sources are warning about security vulnerabilities in the older version of Flash Player that is included with the Snow Leopard installation. It is recommended that the newest version of the Flash Player be downloaded from the Adobe web site and installed. D'oh!
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10344478-37.htmlRaymon:
You should probably be updating Excel to 10.1.6 anyway; then run the new Security update. In fact, if you're running Excel with MS Office X, I there's a combined updater to take care of all the products in that Suite. (Run repair permissions from Disk Utility before installing.)
I wouldn't be concerned with older flash files you have previously put on your Mac. I'd just install the new security update(s) and go on with enjoying your Mac.
Yes, you'll also want to update the Shockwave Player or other Flash-based Macromedia software you might have installed, based on the listing at the bottom of that referenced site.
I'm not really surprised about views/replies. "Vulnerabilities" don't necessarily mean that there's anything vicious roaming around the net right now, but rather that something in the software code was discovered that might allow such things to be enabled. If something affecting Macs was running rampant, I suspect that it would be reported everywhere very quickly.

Snow Leopard 10.6.4.
FireFox 3.6.8 (new install)
Shockwave Flash 10.1.82.76 (New install)
example web site: WUCF.org
Only crashes in FireFox not in Safari or Camino.
Disable Flash and no crash. (disabled as of this post)Hello there.
If you're having a problem with a specific plugin, you need to contact its author for support. If you have problems with all your plugins, then it's a different matter. Is that the case? -
IDVD on Snow Leopard: Flashing blue video on disk image
I recently updated my system to Snow Leopard and have run into this problem using iDVD. I created a 20 minute movie using FC Express HD and brought into iDVD. No problems creating menus, etc., and then created a disk image. While viewing opened disk image in DVD player, video played normally until some music started playing at the event I recorded. As soon as voice is heard in song, the video freezes, and turns into a flashing blue image. The flashing continues until the song is over a couple minutes later. After that, video displays again normally. I created a short segment (480x270) using Mpeg Streamclip to show how problem occurs.
http://www.roslender-ballroom.com/idvd/show.mov
(Might take 30 seconds or so to download before displays.) I was wondering if this is a DRM thing with the music playing in the background? Does SL have this type of checking now? If so, why wasn't audio cut out too? As a test, I created a disk image of same video using Toast 9 and it worked fine (no flashing). I also, booted up my 10.5.8 system backup and created disk image using iDVD and same iDVD file and everything worked fine there, with no flashing during segment with music. Puzzled.Yes, I have added extra non-apple RAM, total is 8GB. I think first 1GB was Apple, and the rest are matched pairs from Crucial, a well known supplier of memory here in US. Memory info from System Profiler is below. Not sure how to check if memory is bad. Again, problem does not show up using iDVD in 10.5.8. If problem can't be identified, I'm hoping it will magically go away as future software updates are applied to 10.6. Thanks for your help.

Fonts shifting in Snow Leopard Flash CS4
We have noticed Fonts shift down in our layouts. Our files are very messed up. One particular font that is doing this is TheMix. Anyone else have this happening? Any fixes out there? The same file opens and displays just fine under Leopard.
I just want to add that we have the same problem. Fonts seems to gain some additional line spacing for no reason.
They render just fine under 10.5, but when you open the very same file in Snow Leopard, most of text if shifted down.
The font in question is TVNord family.
Adobe, please fix it as soon as humanly possible!
Looks like a huge problem with how fonts rendering is handled in Snow Leopard.

Snow Leopard + Flash 10.3.181.14 Plugin + Freeze
• Mac OS X 10.6.7
• MacPro 12GB RAM
• Latest Safari Build
• Flash Plugin (System Preferences Pane) 10.3.181.14
• Adobe Flash CS4 10.0.2
• Coda 1.7
While all Flash objects in all of my browsers (Safari, Chrome, FF, etc) work perfectly, when using Coda to view the websites (which runs using Safari's webkit engine and resources), certain Flash objects cause the Coda program to freeze, and then Coda needs to be Force Quitted.
This was not an issue with the same version of Coda on Leopard, 10.5.x. I also noticed 10.5.x does not use a Flash plugin preference pane. 10.5 has Flash version 10.2. No such problems there.
Visually, every few times the Flash object in question would load, but it would have visual artifacts and random lines, rather than the actual content. It looks very similar to an overclocked, overheated video card screen. See attached screenshot from Coda, vs. Safari. After the glitch happens, the next load of the SWF file causes a program freeze.

I was able to view the error log in Coda, and came up with this:

However, I could not find any issues in the console raised directly by Flash or Adobe. I'll be cross posting this in the Coda user support group.
What's going on here? Why would this only happen through Coda, which is basically using Safari's engine?I should add that the SWF object in question here is being loaded dynamically through a lightbox style jQuery plugin. The SWF itself is using SWFobject2 to load. Finally, the SWF object's parent containers are often switched between display: none and display: block.
Again, only the built-in Coda browser has issue with all of this. -

I had read a fix that someone else experiencing the same problem did, and it worked for me. The first step was to move the following 2 files out of the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ directory....
Flash Player.plugin
flashplayer.xpt
I created a temp directory for them. I then restarted. I left them disabled for awhile. When I had no more freezes, I moved them back. No freezes since. This has only been happening since the update to 10.6.3.
I'm not saying this may help, but it may be worth a try. I was freezing up every few minutes at times. Nothing in over 24 hours.

Snow Leopard Bootable USB Flash Drive with Lion
I'd like to create a bootable Snow Leopard Flash Drive, after upgrading to Lion. I have multiple Macs with some expensive legacy software and an Apple USB modem (32 bit) I use out in rural areas. I'm assuming this will be a viable solution - is there something I'm overlooking? Has anyone else out there taken this route?
Thank you.That would have to be a fairly large flash drive in order to install OS X and any PPC aps on it. You'd be much better off installing Snow Leopard on a separate partition on your internal HDD or an external one. (Since you have multiple macs, installing on an external HDD seems to be best.

Propellerhead Reason 3 compatibility with Snow Leopard?
Before I buy the Snow Leopard update, I want to make sure of compatibility with a few of my apps. I know there are compatibility lists out there but I can't find any specific mention of Snow Leopard's compatibility with Propellerhead Reason 3.
Can anyone with Reason 3 who has taken the Snow Leopard plunge let me know if there were any issues?
cheers,
IanPropellerhead just released a new version (this week) - I wonder if earlier versions will not even be considered to be Snow Leopard-compatible.
Totally off-topic, I talked to the folks at Carbonite this afternoon. They have a very popular Windows backup scheme - and recently released a "dumbed-down" version for Mac (lacking backup scheduling, and other important-to-many features that are in the Windows version).
"We haven't tested Carbonite for Mac under Snow Leopard yet ... " - was the first statement made by their representative.
This attitude just made me wonder: Authors of US$19 little utilities have released Snow Leopard-compatible versions this week, so Apple allows publishers of all sizes to get into the beta process. But why would several MAJOR applications not care enough to get their collective acts together for us?
And so it goes. I am off to a local retailer, who's opening up at a minute past midnight to sell Snow Leopard for a couple hours tonight.

Tiger to Snow Leopard install and back up help
Hi all. First off I am a complete noob when it comes to Mac.
I recently purchased a new imac with Snow Leopard and have been enjoying learning it.
Out of the blue I had an opportunity to buy a late 2006 Macbook at a great price so I went for it. Its a Intel based Mac using Tiger.
I want to upgrade this OS to Snow Leopard and need some guidance.
I have done some research and have determined that I should be able to do this by purchasing the $30 disc rather than the box set with ilife.
I am a bit confused regarding the back up and install procedure however.
After buying the macbook I successfully upgraded the hard drive from the 80gig to a 320 gig using the free download of Super Duper to clone the entire drive. There are a lot of YouTube videos and post outlining this and it went without any problem.
(there doesn't seem to be as much info for upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard out there plus I have read some people have had problems)
So I need a back up and install plan.
Can I use Super Duper for this? It seems to me that cloning would duplicate everything including the Tiger OS so I would expect that there may be conflicts? Or does Super Duper have another copying function.(it does not have any help files)
Here is what I have to work with.
The original 80 gig HD and an enclosure. A new untouched 500 gig external drive.
Original Tiger install disc's and soon to be purchased Snow Leopard disc.
FYI the Macbook has no personal files or 3rd party apps that I need to keep. I have only done test uploads of pictures and video to test the all the ports and drives etc.
I do however need to keep all the included apps like iphoto, tunes etc .especially imovie 06 HD
A bit off topic but if successful I want to download imovie 11 but still keep 06 HD. Can I use both on the same machine?
ThanksThe reason to back up is so when you do the installation of the new system if anything goes wrong you can back out of it. Is your backup drive bootable? Although technically almost all models are if you cloned the internal, some Western Digital enclosures aren't. See if the external shows up as a boot alternative in Startup disks preferences, and actually try booting from it.
So let's say you have a bootable clone of your internal on the external. You can now just update the OS on the internal using your SL disc. If all goes well it should only replace system files. If there is a problem you can always clone your external back to the internal and start over.
I don't know about 2 versions of iMovie. I don't use it but in general those more involved applications don't like multiple versions. In particular the new version might want to overwrite the preferences file for the old version, which the old version subsequently would baulk at using. There may also be plugin version issues, etc. I'd post this as a separate question on the iMovie forum.

I want to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard on my 2008 MacPro. How do I avoid problems with the upgrade process?
#1 Do a complete bootable backup of your drive before upgrading. That way should anything happen you can revert back to the start and try again.
Make sure you meet Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
You might also want to make sure you don't have software issues with SL:
A Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Application Compatibility List - http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/ -
I use my original Tiger bought with MacBook Pro. But now so many applications do not support Tiger, so I decided to upgrade to SL.
But required by Apple way to do this with Mac Box Set seems to be impossible. Mac Box Set is no longer available from Apple.
Is upgrading using Snow Leopard disc, which is still in Apple Store, ok?
I will be gratefull for help.The Mac Box Set includes Mac OS X Snow Leopard, iLife ’09 and iWork ’09. If you just use the SL installer, you don't get the additional apps.
Read this article.
Installing Snow Leopard: What you need to know
http://www.macworld.com/article/142454/2009/08/install_snow_leopard.html
The Snow Leopard box set is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). You may also find a box set on eBay.
It's possible that some of your current apps may not work in Snow Leopard. You can check here: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Application Compatibility List at http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/

Can I purchase Mountain Lion and make a flash drive bootable? I do not want to install it on my Macbook Pro. I have Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro now, and due to my hard drive needing repair, I need to boot off of another source, like my flash drive. I am in Paris and my Snow Leopard DVD is in Texas.
Mac OS X has a built-in disk diagnostic and repair program called fsck or file system consistency check. Here’s how to verify and repair your startup disk with fsck. As soon as you hear the startup tone, press and hold Command-S on the keyboard. Keep holding down those keys until you see a black screen with white lettering. This is called “booting into Single User Mode.” As the Mac boots in this mode, the screen reports each step of the process. The line should end in root#. Right after the root# prompt, enter the following: /sbin/fsck -fy
If repairing the disk in single user mode fails, it means one of two things. Either your hard drive itself is failing (a hardware failure), or the directory damage on your hard drive is beyond the capability of the built-in repair procedures in OS X. -

I just installed a new M500 Crucial ssd in my late 2008 mbp - everything was working fine on old hard drive (running snow leopard) but was getting slow and wanted to upgrade - i lost my snow leopard disk when moving from hawaii so i found an iso online - using a flash drive i partitioned the disk and made the bootable image on flash drive - formatted as extended/journaled - switched out the hard drives - plugged in the flash drive - started the comp - held option - install begins to boot - choose language - all is fine - choose english - next step window pops up saying 'cannot install os on this computer' - click on utility but all options are greyed out - disk util is greyed out - only options it gives is to start from backup or restart - real confused here - all help appreciated - thanks in advance and happy new year!Snow Leopard comes in discs only. The USB drive may be a counterfeit and/or corrupt. There are two options for you:
Get replacement original OSX installation disks from Apple customer service. Have your MBP serial number ready and there is a charge.
Or two, purchase a Snow Leopard disk from the Apple online store:
