Silverlight fails to install on Vista - just want to watch netflix again
I just want to watch Netflix and now I can't because Silverlight tells me that "Your operating system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight." But according to Microsoft's compatibility page I should have no problem installed the update
on Vista. Any insight would be great. Was going to uninstall and attempt to reinstall but the "view video on how to uninstall" on the website also doesn't work. So frustrating.
Am I missing something here?
I have Windows Vista Service pack 2 w/ 4 gigs of Ram and 64 bit operating system.
Thanks.
I had to completely rebuild my system a couple of months ago (Vista Ultimate x64) and Silverlight installed with no hassles at all. But Netflix recommended I upgrade Silverlight so I tried to and the install failed with nonsensical errors. Also, my previous
install is now trashed.
I downloaded the installer automatically, saved it and ran it from the hard drive, but received the false error that I was not running an x64 system.
Out of curiosity I I tried running the installer under IE x64 and got the warning that Silverlight x64 does not work with IE x64. This is very strange considering that Silverlight 64 supposedly works fine with Firefox, if you can get it to install. Or so
I am told.
Why does the Silverlight installer think I am not running an x64 system?
I wound up reinstalling the version from last January, but I cannot tell if it is 32- or 64-bit. The Netflix stream I had selected just started running. Is there any way to sell what bit version of Silverlight you are using? I am successfully running Silverlight
plug-in 5.1.20125.0 modified 1/24/2013 8:09 p.m. I do not recall doing anything special to install it.

Since upgrading to Yosemite I cannot get directly to Netflix. I get a to Netflix and there is a big message about having to download/install Microsoft Silverlight. I can't get that to work and don't want it anyway. I just want to open Netflix and play the movies. What should I do?
I can't get that to work and don't want it anyway.
You need Silverlight. That is the application that plays the Netflix movies.

Failed to install Windows Vista SP2 on iMac
I was trying to install Windows Vista on my iMac. In fact, I have successfully installed before but I deleted it because something wrong with it. However, the second time I installed was failed (Stuck at "Completing Installation") I tried 4 times and they were all the same. But the weirdest thing was I could install Windows Vista through Parallels Desktop. (but can't install it through boot camp)
I just thought of one problem
-I plugged in an external hard disk
Would it be the problem?
Is there any method that can solve this problem?Hi,
I just thought of one problem
-I plugged in an external hard disk
Would it be the problem?
It is most likely the cause of your problem.
During installation of Vista (and personally I do this with OSX system upgrades as well) it is advisable to disconnect all non-essential external devices, leaving only mouse, keyboard and, if neccessary, display connected.
SO, disconnected your external HD, use the BootCamp Assistant to revert the partitioning back to a single-OSX volume and start again.
After reverting back you should restart your Mac.
Hope it helps

Flash fails to install on vista
I'm getting so frustrated. I have tried eveything to download version 10 of the flash player and nothing seems to work. In the middle of downloading I get the error box that says it has failed to install. I've uninstalled, re-installed, reset the computer, turn it on safe mode. even the registry thing that run in the black box says windows does not recognize command and that didn't work either. What am I doing wrong?Am I stupid or something?
Ok, ok - calm down...
First thing you should try
Turn off User Account Control within the Control Panel, then try the install again.
If this works, turn UAC back on after successful installation.
If it does not work, please post back with more information, i.e. what browser you are trying to install it in.
P.S. I don't understand the "registry thing"; can you point me to where you found that? -
DW CS3 fails to Install in Vista Home Premium
Hi,
My new DW CS3 disk will not install DW to my Vista Home
Premium machine.
I am looged on as admin. I have tried the suggestions on the
support page. Disabled norton, Disabled Google toolbar. Tried to
weed out incomplete Adobe files etc.
Starngely older Adobe apps, Premiere Pro and After Effects
installed with right click and selecting "run as XP program. i have
found no way to do this with the CS3 disk.
A forum search uncovered no new ideas. Two other DW support
forums have been fruitless also.
I need this to run ASAP.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
AdrianIf that fails to solve the problem, then I recommend you
contact Adobe
directly and use one of your one-on-one support incidents.

PC Suite ver 7.0.8 update fails to install on Vist...
I have PC Suite ver 6.85 installed on an ASUS laptop running Vista Business SP1. When I try to update to the latest version of PC Suite 7.08 the installation program runs to ca. 80% and then crashes with the message "Previous version of PC Suite cannot be uninstalled"? Has anyone else encountered this and is there a work around? I have tried uninstalling 6.85 with CCleaner but the install of 7.0.8. still fails with the same message. Any help please.

Win7 Msiinstaller keeps trying to install BB when I want to watch a KMP file
I can't seem to stop this loop from happening other than using the Task manger to stop it. I have checked file associations, remover the KMP software, and the BB software.

PB G4 is about 4 years old.
Same drive: MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-816
Upgraded 3 weeks ago to Leopard OS X v. 10.5.4
OK here's the thing: the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-816 drive started spitting out the DVD's like everyone else who posted before with the same problem. These are originals, copies, etc. Funny thing is the CD's inserted are ok. Plays on iTunes. Also reads the Apple install and restore disk. I even tried someone's suggestion "tapping the back panel of the drive upside down" thing...no go.
I have no need to burn or convert at this time, but an Apple reseller here in Budapest HU kindly suggested the alternative to having them replace the drive for approx. $400 US is to purchase and download Roxio's Toast 9 Titanium and then purchase an external DVD drive (doesn't matter if it's only PC compatible like Sony, Pioneer, Samsung). This is a cheaper way but confusing to me that Toast is a burner if I'm correct. Any thoughts?
Has anyone done this? Does it work? Any other suggestions would be kindly appreciated.OK, so I decided to buy an LG GSA E10L external drive. Took my PB with me to the shop and the guy was kind enough to allow me to hook it up and it worked fine. Funny thing is it asked which region I was in, and like Apple allowed only 5 changes, which is good for me 'cause I used up all my changes a year ago from traveling back and forth
I don't know what the reseller was talking about regarding Toast 9 Titanium, but if anyone knows what he's talking about, please let me know. Looks like a good program anyways to burn. To play any external drive on a PB though seems like an unnecessary $99.95 spent on something it doesn't require.

Please help
If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Why in the world is it that everytime I attempt to report a problem with The TV Show "The Walking Dead Season 2 episode 1" Itunes redirects me to their main page..**
I have recently started having this problem in PSE8. The Adobe workaround
did work, but I don't fancy having to re register each time I use it.
What I have discovered is that it's nothing to do with the image metadata as it occurs before any image is opened.
It SEEMS to only occur if you use file/open with to open an image in the editor - IE start PSE with that command.
If you close elements down, and start it using programs/PSE/Elements (or your desktop shortcut) - the panorama feature magically works.
Each time I've opened the editor 'automatically' using image/open with, it seems to create the problem.
Hope this helps -
I just want to watch a movie I rented
I rented a movie for 4.99, moved it from my itunes on pc to ipad mini.
Synced it. The rental movie still does not show in the ipad video app
When I plug in the ipad ( to the pc) it is showing as rental content on the ipad.
It is not showing in the video app, or the itunes libary on the mini ipad. Help!
I've be at this for 2 hours now....Now the option is there..it wasn't before.
I tried downloading a different movie in SD and it worked.
Maybe the movie i was trying to download wasn't compatible in HD with my ipad mini....
Thanks for your help Diavonex -

Are there any websites that I can watch streaming movies on?
<Edited by Host>The YouTube app does not use Flash. If you are referring to pirated movies on YouTube they are not accessible through the app, but they also don't last long on YouTube.
Don't know what other legal services are available in ITaly and don't know the terms of service in Italy for HBO GO, I'm sure you are capable of checking.
As far as discussing flash here, I doubt you can come up with anything new:
