Videos show "blocked plug-in". YouTube says I need to upgrade Safari. How?
Hi!
First time on this forum. I updated to Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.0 last May. (Computer came with Leopard.) It was working fine but now videos don't play--"blocked plug-in" message appears. YouTube says I need new version of my browser. How do I update Safari? Software sent to me is up-to-date. I also just installed new version of Adobe Flash Player as instructed. Thanks for your help.
Hi again Susan1357,
I noticed that your 2008 iMac is running with only a paultry 1 GB of RAM (Random Access Memory).
I do not know what you do with your IMac and whether it seems to run slow or slower than usual.
Your year and model iMac can take a max. RAM amount of 6 GBs in total
Purchasing and installing this much RAM would really speed up your Mac running 10.6.8, considerably.
Correct, compatible and reliable Mac RAM can ONLY be purchased from online RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (http://www.macsales.com).
OWC are the only online RAM vendor to supply the 6 GB RAM kit.
Here is a link to the kit
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/6400DDR2S6GP/
RAM is the only thing Apple lets users install and they have made it, relatively, easy for newbie and novice Mac users to install with very minimal fuss and minimal tools needed.
Here's a video that show you how easy it is to install RAM into your model iMac.
http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/imac_mid_2007_mem_h/
If you watch the video (it is only 5 minutes long) this is the amount of time or just a little longer, if you are being more careful, that is needed to install RAM modules iinto your iMac.
You really do not need your daughter-in-law to do this as it is a simple process once you have purchased the RAM kit online and receive it.
You can install the 4 GB module and the 2 GB module into either slot. It makes no difference.
I just thought I would point out this RAM issue for you and show you that, in this instance, you can do this yourself without waiting for someone else to do this for you. This hardware upgrade is a much easier task than doing any software upgrades/updates of your Mac's system software.

My "software updates" are up to date. However, every website I go to, there's a notice that says I need to update my browser. I follow the options to download Safari on Apple, and it leads me to a page about software updates. (ie; click on the apple, then "software update..") It's frustrating because on some sites it barely loads anything anymore. Please help. Thank you.
You need to upgrade the OS or switch to a product such as Firefox.
To upgrade from 10.4 or 10.5, buy a retail Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.
To upgrade from 10.6, your computer needs to have at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and at least 2GB of RAM. Download Yosemite from the Mac App Store, or buy a download code for Lion from the online Apple Store.

Trying 2 purchase iTunes TV shows & it says we need 2 upgrade everything!
Hi there,
Our config:
10.4 OS X (intel)
Itunes 8.2.1 (6)
Safari 3.0.4.
We are trying to purchase TV shows in iTunes - it says we need to upgrade to iTunes9
We upgrade to iTunes9 - then it says we need to upgrade Safari to 4
We try to upgrade to Safari4 - then it says we need Mac OS 10.5
Mac 10.5 is chargeable product! $199 for the Mac Box !!
Like - *** !
All we want to do is pay and download a tv show in iTunes from Apple ..... and now they are seemingly screwing us for an OS upgrade just to do this !!
Even when I uninstall iTunes9 .... and reinstall iTunes8 .... yes iTunes works, but I still can't download anything!
Is there a way around this craziness?
Cheers
JHi Jodie,
Go here and check the Tiger button, uncheck the Keep me up to date box, no need to fill in the eMail Addy, click Download, install it when complete.

When ever I try to watch any video, from a link or YouTube say, using Firefox, I get a message ‘An error as occurred. Please try again later’. It has been this way for some weeks. I don’t have this problem using Safari or Opera.
I believe that our “Werbung problem” adds an additional second hyperlink to the pop-up window. This second link is activated whenever you trigger a saved hyperlink to a Mail.com site.
I had the same problem and eliminated it by deleting all bookmarks, hyperlinks and automatic links that take firefox to a mail.com address. So I just deleted all bookmarks I had saved for mail.com. I also changed my home page link because it also went to my email at mail.com. I then did a warm boot, opened firefox and re-saved my bookmarks and homepage to the desired addresses. Good luck. -
How does one update Flash? I currently cannot watch videos on You Tube, it says I need to upgrade, I have no problem doing this on a PC.
If you're not using chrome you can just go to adobe's website (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/) and download the newest flash player. You run the .dmg and then open the application, which updates flash. With the latest version of flash there should be a preference pane within system preferences to allow you to change settings and check for updates.

Videos won't play in Safari. Notice says, "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video." I have downloaded it, but no change. All videos play OK in Firefox, but I like the controls in Safari better and want to stay with it.
Try deleting Flash cookies.

If that doesn't help, UNinstall the old Flash plugin first, then reinstall new.

How do I clean my mid 2007 iMac?
The disk space is running VERY low and I would love an idea. I make videos and upload them to youtube and I need space to do that. Thanks for your time!
If you have an idea please respond!You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Look though other Apple Mail folders like the junk mail and delete the mail that is in there. Look through your sent items folders and see there is any mail in there that can be deieted.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Other things you can do to gain space.
Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck! -
I have been trying to put some of my music and artwork, on youtube. Youtube says you need an encoder to upload music. But the problem is the only encoders available are for windows. Please help, thank you
The formats YouTube supports can be found here:
http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=55744
Since YouTube supports AAC, the file format iTunes uses by default, it's probable you don't need any sort of converter.
If you continue to have problems with uploading to YouTube, I'd suggest you ask for assistance in their forums:

I can't update my iPhoto 8.1.2, everything says I need to upgrade to 9.0 first - but i can't find 9.0. I upgraded to mac ios 10.9.3 but I'm trying to use iphots in icloud and it says my iphoto needs to be updated first. I just can't figure out how to update it.
This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1

I have just opened my brand new Macbook Pro and I'm a first time mac user. I have tried to download flash to enable me to watch youtube clips, but on trying to download it, it says I need to close Safari but after doing so, it still won't respond. Any tips? Help?
Actually you need to quit Safari which is different from closing. With Safari open go the menu bar for Safari/Quit Safari.

Itunes says I need to upgrade my account but then it gives me an error
So since I've been using iTunes I've always used my AOL info to log in. Well, just a few days ago it started saying I needed to upgrade my account to a free Apple ID if I want to continue purchasing new music or using my current music. So I click for it to upgrade and it will take me to the page where it says change this account to use a Apple ID. When I click continue a box pops up saying an error has occurred and to please try again. I've tried several different times on 2 different computers on 2 different internet connections several days apart and always get this error. Can anyone help with what I need to do?
Welcome to AD!
I've seen several posts like yours about the AOL account thing. I suggest contacting iTS support.
