So what's the latest with Java and Flash Player?

...And excuse me for not distingwishing between them, but what I do know, is that Flash Player version 10,1,102,64 that was mentioned here as the one for Tiger 10.4.11 on PPC machines -- is no longer appearing on the list at the Adobe's site.
I also do know that I'm having some issues with other programs that require FP and/or Java...

*Flash Player for PPC Macs*
Adobe's last release of Flash Player for PPC Macs was in November, 2010 with release 10.1.102.64 Subsequent releases are for Intel based Macs only.
To check your installed version of FlashPlayer - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about
To update you should download:
Flash uninstaller: [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,] Make sure you get the right one.
Flash installer 10.1.102.64 [http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.1.102. 64_and_9.0.289.0_archive.zip]  Open the archive to reveal yet more archives and multiple files. Select: flashplayer10_1r102_64_ub_mac.dmg
To install:
1) Run Disk Utility and verify your hard drive.  If the hard drive reports errors then it will need repairing first (another topic).  If it verifies, run Disk Utility's repair permissions.
2) Back up your hard drive, ideally to a bootable clone. A bootable clone will allow you to restore your hard drive to its original state should something go wrong.
3) Quit all applications to ensure nothing is actively using Flash. You can even do the next step while booted to Safe Mode to make sure.

[Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
4) Run the uninstaller application. Adobe says, "Adobe recommends that you restart your computer before you install a different version of the player."
5) Run the installer application from the .dmg file you got from the second download.
6) Use Disk Utility to repair permissions on your computer. This is important when installing anything from Adobe.
7) Restart your computer.
Notes:
Adobe installs things all over your computer. Simply dragging a file or two to the trash won't ensure you have uninstalled all old file components.

  • What is the story with Java and UTF-8

    Im getting bits of info about java and utf-8, things like
    "unless you wrap the FileInputStream, you'll get exceptions with UTF-8 encoding"
    So can someone tell where there is a good resource for detailing problems / advice when dealing with utf-8 encoded data???
    or
    Give me the low down and what the dodge actually is?
    Sorry for my poor English - im a scally
    Many thanks

    1) you've chosen SAX probably because it sticks well to your business requirements (i hope ;-), so keep it!
    2) i am using both James Clark's XP and Xerces as my SAX parsers (XP for big volumes because it offers better performances): i am processing only UTF-8 encoded files with no problems,
    3) sure, if you hit some troubles post again and a lot of pair of eyes will look into it!

  • What was the latest version of Adobe Flash Player for PowerPC. And where can I download it.

    It`s all said in the headline. Hoping for an answer.
    Thank You

    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
    Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • What's the best way to update my Mac with the latest version of Adobe Flash Player?

    I've been getting prompts whenever I look at certain websites to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.  I'm skeptical as to responding to those prompts.  What is the best way to update my Mac Pro with the latest version of Adobe Flash Player?

    You might also want to consider uninstalling Adobe Flash... I currently don't have it installed and haven't needed to install it.  Most websites are now coded in HTML 5 so that the iOS devices can actually visit them.  I can still watch YouTube videos et al.  About the only thing I can't do is play Flash games... but they're a resource hog anyways. 
    Try going without for a day or two and see just how many sites you visit no longer require it.  A lot of people keep it installed out of habit, not out of necessity.  If you have Flash installed, visit a site and it's out of date, it will tell you to update your Flash.  What it won't do is tell you is that had Flash not been installed, it would have used the HTML 5 code instead.  Think about it... if an iOS device can't run Flash at all... it can't visit this site if it were written only to use Flash.  What site would eliminate such a huge portion of their market base?  You'd be surprised at how many sites use HTML 5.  Uninstall Flash and see for yourself.

  • Do I need Java 8 or should i disable it? What happens if i disable it? And what is the difference between Java and Java Runtime?

    Do I need Java 8 or should I disable it? What happens if i disable it? And what is the difference between Java and Java Runtime?

    There's no difference. They're both runtime plug-ins (they run when an app calls for Java functions).
    You only need Java if you either have Java apps on your Mac that won't run without having it installed, or you use trusted web sites that require Java to function (getting fewer and far between). Otherwise, you have no need for it at all.

  • In eBay & YouTube, I get the message to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player; I have gone through the download and installation procedure several times, but still get the same message - why can't I install the latest version on Firefox?

    In eBay, I was trying to upload pictures when I got this message: "You need the latest version of Adobe Flash Player to use the standard picture uploader.
    Download and install the latest version from Adobe before continuing."
    In YouTube, when trying to watch a video, I got this message: "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video."
    I have gone through the procedure for downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, but still get the same messages when I reopen Firefox and revisit these sites.
    There does not seem to be the same problem with Safari, which runs the latest version of Adobe Flash Player with no trouble.
    I am using an iMac running Mac OS X Version 10.6.7.

    You can find the latest Flash player for Firefox on this page.
    *http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    For Firefox on 64 bit Windows, you need the 32 bit Flash version version because Firefox is a 32 bit application.

    You can only use apps downloaded from the App store, not via a browser. There is no Flash for any iOS device including the iPod.

  • After the latest version of Adobe flash player was installed, movies and tv shows will not play, and

    After the latest version of Adobe Flash Player was installed,  movies and tv shows  will not run, and most of the news videos will not play. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but that does not help.

    I have windows (crap) seven and internet explorer.  When I try to access movies or tv shows, I'm always asked to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.  When I check the programs list, it indicates that Adobe Flash Player Active X is installed.  I have uninstalled adobe and reinstalled it several times.  Do you suppose this is a virus, and I need to redo the hard drive completely?
