Streaming, Flash, Quicktime, and Audio Drivers not working

Purchased and installed 10.5 on Saturday, installation caused a crash and finally got it to work today, but now when trying to view flash and quicktime streams on safari, I just get a question mark. i've read all the other posts on this, tried changing the MIME settings, no change.... those posts were not helpful.
PLUS: the install deleted the audio driver, i can't adjust the volume, nothing comes out of the speakers when itunes is play a song. is there any way i can restore the drivers for both these problems without re-installing 10.5 and risking another crash?

Try this for the flash/quicktime problem:
Go to home/library/preferences
Find the file named com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
Move the file to your desktop.
Quit Safari, then restart Safari. Problem fixed? If so you can trash the plist file from your desktop.
On the audio problem, I'm not sure. Perhaps check the settings in AudioMidi Setup in your Utilities folder.
Hope this helps,
Jeff

Adobe flash player and youtube are not working

adobe flash player and youtube are not working

It seems that going to Preferences>Security> Check allow plug ins, then manage sites, and then allowing one site allows all??? Seems like a lot to go through. I have installed the player 4 times now and just got it figured out!

Presario R4000 Laptop Audio Drivers not working

So, I've got this older Laptop, the Compaq Presario R4000.
It was giving me a really hard time with software with the original OS and stuff, so I decided to format it and install my own Windows XP Professional on it, as opposed to the Compaq-ware filled XP Home that was already on it.
So I formatted, installed Windows, and found the driver page for it.
I Flashed the BIOS despite the fact that I don't think it was necessary, but I wasn't sure.
I installed the graphics drivers no problem.
Installed the wireless device drivers, though not sure if these are working, but it's not significant.
What is significant however, is that the Audio Drivers provided on the site do not work at all. I looked for other drivers, looked for other driver versions for the OSs and various other Presario models, but nothing has worked.
I don't know what the problem is. I'm really hoping someone is able to help!
Thanks in advance.
Error Message:
BTW, I should mention what the error message I'm getting is.
A command window pops up running the following command:
c:\swsetup\SP29873>start /min \swsetup\audio\setup.exe /s
I tried fiddling with the batch file that was running these commands to see if that would help, but it doesn't.
Still always get the same error message:
"Windows cannot find '\swsetup\audio\setup.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."

I have the same error message, have you figured it out yet? If yes, please tell me what you did <text deleted> Thanks

Flash Player And adobe reader not working and downloads don't work

I have IE 8 and windows vista and everything has worked great for 2 years until 2 or 3 weeks ago. At that time my flash player stopped working so I could no longer get videos , streaming stock quotes, weather map loops, etc and when I go to websites that use Flash (i.e. Piaaz Hut) it wouldn't work. Also, at that same time my adobe reader stopped working properly and I can't view mosy PDF Files.
I have gone through many of the posts on this forum and have tried many of the fixes, but none have work for me.
I tried to uninstall the Flash Player, but I didn't use the Adobe uninstaller.
Whenever I try to update or load the Flash player, a dialog box with the globe tossing papers to the folder appears and then after a few seconds I get the the message that IE can't install_flash_player_ax.exe from fp download.adobe.com, and then a message that says IE was not able to open this internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found.
In control panel programs I have listed
Adobe AIR      no size
Adobe Flash Player 10 active X           no size
Adobe Reader 9.3     141mb
Macromedia Shockwave player      no size
In Tools i have the following add ons and they are all enabled
Shockwave Flash object 10.0.42.34
Adobe PDF Link Helper
Adobe PDF Reader
Macromedia Shockwave Active X Control 10.1
As I said I've already attempted a number of the fixes on this forum, but so far no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I might try?
Thanks

Ok, I tried to download the firefox browser but IE wouldn't let me download it. My friend downloaded it from their computer to a flash drive and I loaded it to my computer from the flash drive. The download of Firefox from the flash drive worked, and now I'm using Firefox & both my adobe flash player and my adobe reader are working just great.
However, neither the flash player nor the reader are working if I use IE, so I guess I will just have to use Firefox as my browser.
I'm going to mark my question as answered since I really don't care that I have to use Firefox instead of IE,although I can't understand why it works using Firefox but not using IE.
Thank you so much for your assistance in walking me step-by-step through this problem until I was able to reach a satisfactory solution.

2011 MBP with Win7 on BC and numerous drivers not working

I'm working on a tech project and have run into a problem that i can't fix. <grr> I followed the Apple directions for installing a second OS on Boot Camp and found some good tips from other online walk throughs, but am still having a problem with a number of the drivers.
I have a 2011 MacBook Pro 13" with the most up to date version of Snow Leopard. I have installed Boot Camp and Windows 7 Pro on a 50 Gb partition. I have installed Windows 7 and activated it. Once Win7 was up and running I updated the Boot Camp drivers with 3.2.0, the latest version that I know about. Initially I had no recognition of either the wired or wireless controllers even after the Boot Camp 3.2. I was able to determine that I had a Broadcom wired ethernet card and found the driver and installed it via USB so that I could use Win7 to access the internet.
The drivers that, as found from the Device Manager, are not working are as follows:
Network Controller - Wireless
PCI Simple Communication Controller
SM Bus Controller
High Definition Audio
Apple Keyboard -> Bluetooth USB Host Controller (though the USB ports are active and operational)
Facetime HD Camera (1 of 2 not working)
I have been able to use the wired internet to download and install all of the available Win7 updates, but nothing can be found on the above drivers. I even manually installed the drivers for each of these components from the Snow Leopard disk for Boot Camp and they would not install.
From all the information that I can find on the Win7 Boot Camp install, nothing more recent than early 2010, everyone seems to have everything just install and work. I have not seen anything from anyone about the wireless and wired network cards not working or any of the other issues that I'm having. The majority of the issues were with the optical audio LED staying on or some other more trivial issue.
Anything you can suggest would be great so that I can use the internet in Win7. The rest of the drivers are second to getting on wireless.
Thanks in advance for your help. If you have any more detailed questions please let me know and I'll get answers back.

I have a 15" MacBook Pro, built July 2011. It came automatically with Lion. No OS X disc provided in box with Lion, due to it being a download only OS.
I followed the boot camp process to partition the hard drive and format the appropriate partition, to then install Windows 7 Pro Upgrade (clean install - works fine). Just like the original post, the following drivers that will not install properly include:
- trackpad
- keyboard
Even when trying to re-install the drivers again manually off the boot camp disc, a window pops up to stating that the drivers may not have installed properly and gives you the options to either re-install the drivers 'using the compatability settings', or 'no the drivers installed ok'.
It's almost like it thinks Windows 7 is an old program....weird.
The keyboard and trackpad is missing from the Boot Camp control panel, so I can't change the settings for the keyboard and trackpad, to get them functioning the way they're meant to - like it does in Mac OS X.
I thought that this page would help: http://www.reviewmylife.co.uk/blog/2010/06/08/windows-7-on-macbook-pro/ but no it didn't. The boot camp control panel screen dumps shown in this link, looks nothing like mine, due to the fact that the drivers refuse to install properly.
I have spent hours trawling many mac and windows forums with not luck.
Anyone with a MBP running Lion OS and Windows 7 Pro have these issues?
Does anyone have a solution?

Realtek AC97 Audio Drivers Not Working!

Hi.
I recently had a HD crash and I was forced to format it. I installed everything just as the first time, and everything worked fine except the audio drivers. The problem is, it does actually install the drivers, but when I look at Sound Options or Device Manager there are no drivers for the soundcard. It says installation is complete and then I restart the computer, and when I try to update with MSI Live Monitor 3, it says I got the latest drivers installed. STILL doesnt work.
Does anyone have a hint about the problem? Any virus? On another note Norton discovered viruses on my computer, even though I had installed the antivirus-software before connecting to internet\network. This is what it found:
W32.Randex.gen - msconfg.exe
W32.Spybot.Worm - vsmon.exe
And some adware.
In virus description it says the viruses can come with programs but I have only installed a few programs, and it says it will spread through IRC. I have 2 other computers in my network, but I dont know if they have anything to do about it. The program will not work correctly whitch is infected with this virus, so maybe there is a chance Live Monitor got it and somehow cant get the sound working... probably not, but this is all i can give.
Tried to reformat another time but still same problem... motherboard broken??

Quote
motherboard broken??
Possibly. One way to try is see if it works fine with different os'es. If you can download knoppix's latest version (which I hope supports the onboard audio, like my new fedora linux does) and try it, then you can find out if the sound works or not.
Knoppix is a kind of special linux that you don't have to install, it just runs off of a cd.
On another note, I find that if I run live update, or open live monitor and search for new drivers, my sound is cut off whether I update or not till the next reboot.

No sound and audio device not working properly, T61 vista

I unistalled the audio device SoundMax integrated HD audio because I had problems getting the mic of my new webcam (Logitech pro 9000) to work. But after reinstalling the SoundMax audio driver the audio device is no longer working.
Installing the SoundMax driver doesn't report any problems and the device manger also says that the SoundMax integrated digital hd audio device is working properly. But the speaker icon on the taskbar is crossed out. When hovering the mouse over the speaker icon it says Volume: 0 SoundMax integrated digital hd audio. When opening the Volume Mixer it says "No audio decivice is installed"...
I've completly removed all drivers and reinstalling several times but I cannot get it to work so I really need some help now.
All software + drivers regarging the webcam has been completly removed.
System data:
T61, Vista business
Audio chip seems to be a Analog Devices 1984
SoundMax driver version 6.10.1.5510 (latest available from lenovo)

Really silly bug, but there are times with the T series laptops, specifically the T61s that seem to not project the sound through the speakers and the way to fix it is to just keep hitting the silver volume buttons up by your power button on the actual laptop. This may or may not work for you, but I literally just got done with this on a T61 running a fresh installation of XP. The buttons on the lenovo itself control the direct signal input and do a very poor job with integrating with Windows Vista and XP.
Let me know if that works for you.

Video and audio chat not working

Hi All,
I also have problems with iChat. I tried it before leaving home with two macs on a wireless network. Worked well. Im now overseas and the text chat works ok but both the video and audio chat fails to work. The buddy receives the telephone tone informing him that im trying to chat and once accepted the chat fails and the error message is "buddy failed to respond". Not sure what to do to get this working. Please help as it worked from room to room but not country to country???

Hi,
The Log can be expanded when it pops up and the top part of the log can help us to pin point things for you.
The Logs are also stored in User(your account)/Library/Logs/iChatConnectionErrors
Error 8s refer to port and NAT issues.
The details can isolate where to some extent.
We will need to know the connection device you are using at both ends (Modems and routers) ?
How you have set them up (DHCP, Ports opened, methods used) ?
What you have done on each mac to set up iChat and the Mac for iChat

MSI Z97 Gaming 5 - RealTek Audio Drivers not working

I just assembled my rig and installed all the drivers. For some reason there's no audio playing when the Realtek drivers are installed. Audio can be played when using the generic audio drivers. The Sound Blaster Cinema 2 doesn't work as well. I get the following errors below when I have the realtek driver installed.

I just fixed this. Apparently the realtek drivers that came with the installer doesn't work. I downloaded the latest version at the website and it works. I wonder if MSI knows this. They should fix the installer cds that come with the motherboards.

MacBook Air is just flashing on and off but not working after trying updates

This morning I got notification that I was supposed to update my MacBook Air with both update for iTunes and update for Firefox.
I hit yes to both.
Now I am just getting a constant flashing on and off and blank screen alternating with brief picture of the Apple with bar underneath it.
Have turned on and off several times and still won't work.
Ideas/

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
I don't think that the iTunes and Firefox updates could do this, but it looks like the logic board is damaged. What happens when you press Shift key while your Mac is starting?

Ichat video and audio is not working only with one friend

Hi there,
i used to video-chat with my best friend every other day. We both have OSX 10.5.8. Maybe 4 weeks ago suddenly we always get an errorcode when calling each other. Sometimes it says the other one doesnt anwer but he gets an error message. He and me can still video chat with all our other friends!
Only in between us it doesn't work. Both ways don't work (who ever calls). We both have an iMac 21.' with intel prozessor.
Text-chat works!!
If another friend calls both of us, we can chat the 3 of us together!
Any suggestions?
desperatly Mike

Hi,
This has been an issue now and then for all versions of iChat
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page15.html#CertainBuddy
The most common reason is setting Port Forwarding in a router to open the ports and leaving On the DHCP Server.
This means that now and then the Computer IP may change and the Port Forwarding may require you "point It" at one IP - which the computer no longer has meaning the ports are not open.
The next is the way some devices actually Do NAT (Network address Translation).
There are 4 main ways with cross over between them as well.
This may raise it's head if you or your Buddy have updated the Firmware to your router.
I would check System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming is at 1.5Mbps at both ends.
I would double check the routing settings at both ends.
UPnP if you have it is "Better" is that it allows Multiple computers (IPs) to use the same Ports so you don't have to turn Off the DHCP Server in the router.
Thomson-Alcatel can have symptoms like this due to the way they handle SIP data.

IChat 3.1.9 Video Chat and Audio chat not working

I have been going crazy the last couple of weeks trying to get Video Chat to work. Whenever I or someone else tries to start a video chat and I answer it says "Failed to start video chat because ******** did not respond. PLEASE do not say firewalls, they are turned off, and video chat works on my parents and sisters computer, so just don't say firewalls, I've heard it all before.
The weird thing is, it works with the appleu3test01 (test dummy) but not with any of my friends. I know its not their computers because they can chat fine with everyone.

Hi,
Are you saying that your computer out of three can not Video Chat ?
Have you set System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming to 1.5Mbps ?
This will sometimes pop up Error 8 if not set as in Tiger the Automatic setting is read as 0 but can give some success at times
