When I open my browser I constantly keep getting a warning that i need to update my flash...when i click on remind me later an exe file open

I think it is a virus...when i open safari or firefox i get this warning that I have to update my flash...when i press remind me later an exe file opens...i did not click on the exe file but i can not open any browsers except apple!! what should i do?

The issue of a hacked router is worth looking into, also some other prospecting
software adware or genieo malware may be in your computer, so thesafemac
site has other bits of information to be familiar with. So as to not overwhelm.
The re-directs can be a troublesome issue, with more than one cause.
Did you get a screen shot of the affected browser window, to post here?
Oh, if you want to see what Adobe Flash Player is in your Mac, this Adobe site
may be of help. The links within it can be used to troubleshoot to some extent.

An advantage to using older obsolete Macs is the later promise of Flash does
not necessarily you'd get/need it. Too bad HTML5 isn't more pervasive...
Good luck & happy computing!

Hi,
One of my ex-colleagues has installed a NI-DAQ 6.5 in our system. [And I do not see any other naitional instruments card in the CPU of the computer, may be he removed it] I deleted the account and all his files in the system. When I am trying to install version8.0, its not getting installed and giving me a message that I should uninstall the previous version by going to Add/Remove programs in the control panel.
I tried doing that, but the "Change/Remove" button does not seem to work...[There is no response and so unable to install the new version...]
Any idea how can this problem be solved?
It is a windowsXP operating system with SP2 installed on a machine with P4 processor.
Thanks

I keep getting the message that I need to download the images update to open old documents. The update was downloaded on 11/24/13. Checking for new updates shows all updates have been made. What is the issue?

I keep getting the message that I need to download the new update for ipages when opening old documents. The latest update that I have download was done 11/24/13. When I check for updates it shows that there are no new updates available. I downloaded Maverick a few weeks back on to my iMac. What is the issue

You have both your older iWork apps and the newer Maverick apps on your computer.
The new Maverick apps are in the Applications folder.
The older iWork apps are in the Applications/iWork folder.
Of the two, the older iWork apps are more useful so don't throw them out.
Check out about Pages 5, keeping the older Apps and how to manage updates here:

When attempting to print in Pages, I keep getting a message that no printer is detected. I have checked all connections and they are solid, this printer has always worked before, and even if I try to add it, I still get that message.

I can print from all other applications, just not any Pages documents.

You may just have an outdated printer driver.

The App, however, such as Pages, is no longer opening and can't be used.
What can I do to complete the updating process and start using the Apps again?

Download iTunes using the tab at the top of this page. Then run the update with iTunes closed.

I have installed updated to latest version but, upon opening get warning that I need to update to latest version

I downloaded, then ran and installed latest version of firefox, but each time, upon opening, I get a warning that I need to install latest version.

It looks that the update wasn't successful because your "More system details" list still shows a Firefox 3.5.7 version.
If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I try to open Acrobat I get a message that I need to register the product. I click on register and after about a minute, I'm told that I don't have an internet connection. My internet connection is working fine. In fact I registered Acrobat Pro XI using my account, but the program itself will not recognize it or allow me to use the software. What do I do?

If you already registered, then there is no point to trying to do so again. Simply dismiss the dialog.

I recently backed up my iphone to itunes, when after backing up a message showed that I needed to update my iphone. I clicked ok, and after updating, it said I had to restore my phone to its factory settings. I cannot find where it backed up pictures

I recently backed up my iphone to itunes, when after backing up a message showed that I needed to update my iphone. I clicked ok, and after updating, it said I had to restore my phone to its factory settings. I cannot find where it backed up all of my pictures from my phone.

If you backed up the device, all the data is in the backup. Restore the backup.
A better question is why would an intelligent person not copy the pictures from the device to the computer regularly, especially before attempting an update, as the device is designed to be used?

I cannot view some videos and participate in some websites since Adobe upgraded all to Flash 11.7. I have an older Mac G5 PowerPC (no Intel chip) running OS 10.5.8. I keep getting splash screens saying I have to update to Flash 11.7 but 11.7 is made for those Macs with an Intel chip. I am running the newest Flash for my system. It seems all concerned should have made Flash retro-compatible for those of us with older Macs. Is there a work around to this Flash requirement short of buying a new Mac with the Intel chip?

I'll bet you'll have better luck if you post your question in the Power Mac discussions here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/power_mac
Either that, or one of the forums at Adobe.
Good luck.

Is there a way to remove installed updates from the App Store update window? I keep getting an alert that I have an update for Apple Remote Desktop. It says its installed, but the alert and the app keep showing up. Annoying!!

I keep getting a message that iTunes wants to update to 8.something, but my version is at 12.0.1.26. What gives??

I keep getting a message that iTunes wants to update to Version 8.somthing. However, I'm currently running Version 12.0.1.26 on Windows 7. What gives?? Is there any way to get the update message to leave me alone?

You will need to post the exact message. Sounds like iTunes is picking up either your iPhone wirelessly or it is plugged in and is wanting to update to iOS8.1.1
Do so and it will go away.

Try downloading omnidiscsweeper
http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnidisksweeper/
and check to see that are no large folders of files that you do not know about on your computer. Normally it will be Pics, Music or Movies.
If everyfile is required then you may well have to physically back a lot of it up to an external drive. You need a minimum of 15% free disc space to operate at a reasonable rate.
