Shockwave won't work on Mac Yosemite

I've downloaded shockwave player to be able to use a CD-ROM that came with a college textbook for class. Sadly, after the cd-rom is inserted I get a message saying "Adobe Shockwave Player is required to display some of the elements on this page." 
Yes, I've gone through chrome://plug-ins and tried enabling and disabling shockwave. That doesn't work.
Yes, I've reset my mac.
Yes, I've restarted my mac.
Yes, I've restarted chrome and safari.
I've googled everywhere and youtube'd everywhere for an answer but all I can find is the same old answers and a whole pile of rants from people having similar issues.
Please tell me something new. No, a magic wand won't help.
Best Regards,
Zahra

Hi, Pwillener-
Yes I've installed it
I did find a short term solution (with flaws, of course). I've contacted the maker of my CD ROM and took screenshots of every process from downloading shockwave to actually installing...
He worked me through trying to make it compatible for Safari.
Best thing to do is contact the maker of the CD ROM if anyone else has problems because information is limited on adobe's website and apple won't help with third party applications (been there, done that too).
And forget GeekSquad- That's $99USD down start up fee and $10USD a month... not guaranteeing they will fix the problem. I've heard they accidentally erase vital information on people's computers before and never fix it. That wasn't an option for me.
So to be short and sweet, anyone that has trouble with Shockwave not working with Yosemite 10.10.2 or later, contact the maker of the software that requires Shockwave.
It's still very glitchy and dysfunctional for me, but it works.
Thanks for your quick response though

    When I try to open safari a message says: You can't use this version of the application Safari with this version of Mac OS X 10.7.5. The application requires Mac OS X 10.9 or later.
    I see Recovery needs Wi Fi which is not available here and Recovery is loaded with a list of  potential disasters.
    To heck with Safari I'll just use Firefox. Apple sure screwed up here judging from the multitude of similar complaints on the internet.

  • GoDaddy won't work in Mac Mail

    Hi guys,
    mac Mail is doing my head in!!! I launched a website for my business using GoDaddy as my hosting and I'm trying to add my account to mail but nothing works. I've been on the phone to godly and they went through all possible solutions and came to the conclusion its an apple problem. They said apple mail might have a specific port that I need to use for an external client or something like that? Anyone got any help? I can;t get a hold of anyone from apple, their support is useless unless you pay for it!!

    I posted this problem a couple of days ago. I have 50 or more groups, some with several hundreds of names & these groups no longer import. I have gone to apple genius bar & they are clueless. Apparently apple opted to make maverick work for gmail but now it won't work for mac mail.

  • External Toshiba drive won't work on Mac after using on PC

    My Toshiba External USB drive stopped working on my Mac air after I downloaded some files on a PC. It worked numerous times on the PC and then I brought it back home to use on Mac. Now, it won't show up on finder but can be found on Disk utility. I cannot manually mount it there. Repair disk and verify seem to finish but still won't mount. It was originally formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The PC did not prompt me to re-format or do anything to the Hard drive.
    How can I get it to work on Mac again?
    Thank you.

    Good day haynechi,
    If your external hard drive will not mount on your MacBook Air but it will show up in Disk Utility, you may need to erase the hard drive in order to get it to show up on the Mac again. NOTE - this process will destroy any data on the drive, so be sure you have anything on there backed up somewhere else before you begin!

  • Wacom Intuos Tablet Touch Function Won't Work On Mac OS X

    Hi there,
    I recently purshased a Wacom Intos pen & touch tablet, model CTH-480. But the touch function won't work.
    I've done the following, but it still won't work:
    1. Re-install the driver to the latest. (Driver Driver 6.3.8-2 from http://us.wacom.com/en/support/drivers/)
    2. Turned on the switch on the tablet. Whenever I touch the tablet, the blue signal light at the top-right corner will be on.
    3. In the app named "Wacom Desktop Center", the "Touch Settings" shows "Touch On". So the software is configured well.
    4. In the "System Preferences" --> "Walcom Tablets", the "Touch Options" is available and is able to configure. There's no option there which saya "Enable Touch Input" as seen in some tutorials online.
    The other functions are perfect. I can use the pen, I can set custom functions to all buttons on the tablet.
    Someone meet similar problems before? I sincerely appreciate your help!
    Best Regards,
    A new Walcom user in desperate

    I had the same exact problem. No matter what I did, tablet LED lights and diagnostic testing mode indicated touch sensors working but no corresponding screen functions. This included removing the app/plist installation through CleanMyMac 2 and a subsequent reinstall. You may have fixed your problem by now but Wacom customer support sent me this advice within a day and it worked for me on first try.  Touch gesture and pen functions seem to work equally well now.
    Key is to use the uninstall utility within the Wacom app itself.
    Thank you for contacting Wacom Customer Care. The problem that you received maybe cause by a corrupted driver file. While you may have already reinstalled the driver, please follow these specific instructions:
    Open your Applications folder and locate any Tablet or Wacom Tablet folders you have
    Use the Utility in each of these folders and click ‘Remove’ under ‘Tablet Software’
    Once the software is removed, restart the computer
    Once this is complete, download and install the latest 6.38 driver from: (Current as of Aug 2014)
    http://cdn.wacom.com/u/productsupport/drivers/mac/professional/WacomTablet_6.3.8 -2.dmg
    As always, make sure your tablet is connected directly to your computer. Avoid using USB hubs, keyboard/monitor ports, or docking stations with the tablets, as they can cause inconsistent behavior.

  • Shockwave won't work in Chrome?

    I have an HP Envy M4 with windows 8 and like the title says, it won't work.
    I download it, it says it's complete, but when i go to the site that i need it on, it doesnt work and asks me to download the plug in. I've removed it and redownloaded it several times and it still wont work. I try going to chrome:plugins but it doesnt ever show up. Other people have said disable other flash options, there are NONE. The only plug in with the word flash is adobe flash player and it's up to date. I need shockwave for a class what do i do?!

    If you need Shockwave then download the MSI for the full installer from this link

  • Audio interface console (app) won't work on Mac Pro

    Hello there!
    I just bought a new Mac Pro and did a clean install of all my apps. Everything seems to be working fine except one thing: my audio interface's console.
    I'm using an Audiofire 4 interface, which has little physical controls on it. I've been using its console software on my iMac and on my MacBook Pro to control it. Last night I installed the software from the CD on the Mac Pro and it won't work!
    I launch the application from my home folder on my boot disk (SSD). I also tried installing it on the data HDD and still no luck: when I try to launch it it closes immediately. All my macs are on the same version of SN so that shouldn't be the problem.
    Anyone has a few ideas? I use my computer a lot for music so this has to work or I may have to return to the iMac...
    Thanks in advance!

    Update: this morning I installed the Audiofire Console successfully on my Windows partition (on another hard drive). I then came back to OSX (on my SSD) and this time the app, instead of immediately opening and closing, beachballed the whole system. The console gave me this:

  • Trial download won't work on Mac

    I'm trying to download the Muse trial version onto my Mac but it won't work.  I get the following error message:
    "You are running an operating system that Muse no longer supports. Refer to the system requirements for a full list of supported platforms."
    Is there any way to work around this?  I'm currently using Mac OS X 10.6.8

  • My Canoscan 8400F won't work after installing Yosemite

    I updated my IMac to OSX Yosemite 10.10 and now the Canoscan 8400F won't work.The toolbox won't open and none of the buttons will work. I've tried to find a new driver but they aren't making them for this system. Do I have to buy a new scanner?

    I recently upgraded to Yosemite and my Canon LiDE 60 scanner stopped working. It is not on the Canon list of scanners supported by Yosemite. I downloaded and installed the LiDE 60 driver v11.1.3.1 which was the one listed for OSX 10.6, the last OSX version to list a driver. Still no luck. I eventually noticed that I currently have Canoscan Toolbox v 5.0.1.4, presumably updated along the way. Once I downloaded and installed Canoscan Toolbox, v 4.9.3.4, the one also listed for OSX 10.6, things are back to normal. You need the old driver PLUS the older (then current) version of Toolbox. This works for the LiDE 60, but the logic would apply to other older Canon scanners. Good luck.

  • My volume won't work on mac pro

    My volume won't work on my Macbook Pro. The button works and I can see the volume being turned up/down, but no sound comes out! I tried everything in the volume section of System Preferences. Does anybody know what I can do? Thanks!

    Try a PRAM reset:
    If no success, look in the audio output port.  If there is a red light, the internal switch is stuck.  Insert the headphione jack a few times and see if that will trip the switch.
    Ciao.
