Why is Flash slow on OS X and are there any plans to fix it?

Hi,
The other I was talking with a friend of mine about performance of OS X vs Windows. Looks like while in certain aspects OS X is faster than Windows, in others it is painfully slower. While Safari 4 is 42x faster than IE 7, Flash is incredibly slower on OS X compared to Windows.
Any ideas why is this the case? Are there any ongoing cooperations between Apple and Adobe to fix this problem?
Cheers,
Behi

Because historically Adobe mucks permissions up when installing FlashPlayer. To wit, here's what occurred repairing permissions after installing Adobe Flash Player10.0.22.87:

Apple's iOS platform (iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch) has never, and will never support flash.
First on this; Thoughts on Flash. This is from Steve Jobs regarding Apple's views on Flash (2010)
Second; Adobe stops making Flash for mobile devices. This is from Adobe themselves last year stating that they would stop making Flash for mobile devices.
If you can find the App equivalent of the programs you are looking for, then congratulations, however, if you require specific 'programs' requiring flash, then the iPad is certainly not for you, and returning it would be the best choice (granted you are still within the return period).
The lesson in this; Research what a device can and cannot do prior to purchase

Hi everyone, I have just purchased a new iMac 27. Is this device able to support a multiple monitor set-up (additional two screens)? If so what do I need and are there any draw backs?

Hi everyone,
I have just purchased a new iMac 27. Is this device able to support multiple monitor set-up (an additional two screens)? I am not a gamer, so require the set-up for 'office suite' type work and video viewing. if the set-up is possible, what would I need, is it pretty straight forward and are there any draw backs?
Thank you.

I just purchased the same imac. I connected the other displays using a thunderbolt to dvi adapter and it works fine.

I just updated Safari with version 5.1.10 and now I cannot use "open location". Anyone else having this problem and are there any solutions?

Ok ...
Try troubleshooting extensions and third party plugins.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

Why I can't upload photos nor update status by iOS in iPhone 5? Are there any ways to fix this thing?

I am using iOS 6.1.3 right now. But before I update my iOS, I was using iOS 6.0.2 but still I cannot upload any pictures via iOS in facebook also cannot update status in facebook. I am using iPhone 5.

Go into SETTINGS and scroll down to FACEBOOK. Make sure your login and password are there. If they are, try removing them and re-adding them.

Camera on iPhone4 doesn't work, when you use either the icon on the screen all you get the the shutter. I am unable take pictures. Has anyone had the same problem and are there any solutions?

The camera on my iPhone 4 isn't working and hasn't for quite sometime. I have updated the phone to IOS 6 and it hasn't made any difference.
When you use the icon that appears at the bottom of the screen or the camera icon on the main screen all you see is the camera shutter.I have tried to restore the camera and that hasn't made any difference. I have spoken to Apple support and they sent me a support site to check out, but there isn't any specific solution for my problem. Has anyone had a similar problem and is there a solution?

Try:
- Reset the iPhone. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPhone: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPhone.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Are there any plans from Apple to port Sculpture and other Logic Pro instruments as iPad standalone synths to iOS?

Now that the iPad is getting faster CPUs, you should consider doing it.
With Inter-App audio, and Audiobus going to a 2.0 soon, I really can't imagine why you are taking so long to do this.
Maybe someone from Apple can give me some good news here?

This is a user only forum, no one from Apple will read or reply to your post.
Also, I've never known Apple to let the public know what they're working on, ever!
You could join the Devs forum and make the request over there, uses the same Apple I.D.

Are there any plans to add Measuring and Rotation tools into Adobe Reader for iPad. Currently using V11.2.0 (86952)

We need to provide our planning officers with io site access to plans via iPads. Whilst they can view the plans in .pdf format via Adobe Reader, they need to be able to rotate and measure whilst on site.

For Adobe Reader, the stated features are highly unlikely but you might want to fill the feature request form at: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form

At some point my Samsung galaxy3 phone would display 4G on it. For the last month or so it only displays 3G. IS this a known problem and are there any solutions?

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? I've reset the phone, removed the battery, etc. and can't get the 4G signal to display. Only showing 3G even when I know there is 4G available

Kinquana -
Definitely see a difference with data.
My wife has a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 that displays 4g service >99.5% all of
the time.
Her access to the internet is much quicker than mine.
Based on what I'm seeing, I'm wondering even if my phone is setup for 4G.
Checked my Mobile networks setting vs what see has on her phone and they are
exactly the same.
Only thing different is in the APN type:
Note 4 - default,dun,supl
Galaxy SIII- default,dun (appears that I can't change this)
Her signal strength is (-101dBm 39asu) vs mine (-85dBm 2 asu)

Are there any plans to move the "Math Check" to AFTER the O.K. BUTTON is pushed on STEP AND REPEAT?

One of my pet peeves is that I have to clear all the fields in the STEP AND REPEAT dialouge box before I can begin entering information. I have been patiently waiting for this bug to be fixed. I am beginning to wonder if Adobe is even aware of the bug? It drives me nuts to no end!!! I am sure it is responsible for several points in my blood pressure reading on given days. I'll have an object selected that I need to step 7 times and I'll bring up the Step and Repeat dialouge box. I'll enter 7 in the COUNT field. InDesign will in some cases immediately flag the operation as not possible because there are numbers in the other two fields that I haven't had a chance to edit yet that will cause the step and repeat operation to go off the pasteboard. It makes me MAD because it changes my 7 back to a 1 and I have to go and put in the correct values for the VERTICAL and HORIZONTAL offset fields and then I have to go back up to the COUNT field and re-enter my 7. All of this and I haven't even hit the O.K. button yet!!! Can someone at Adobe pleeeeeeaaaaaase inform the programmers of this glitch and have them move the MATH CHECK to AFTER THE O.K. BUTTON is clicked! I wouldn't mind the message if the figures I entered were incorrect and I had hit the O.K. button. But it drives me absolutely insane when it starts trying to correct me before I've even finished entering my values!
Am I the only one?
I would love to hear from anyone else out there that gets frustrated from this. If for no other reason then to let me know I haven't completely lost my sanity yet.
Thanks.
Randy

O.K. Peter. I did go and file a report. I couldn't bring myself though to call it a feature request because I clearly believe it is a bug. A co-worker of mine and I had a long discussion about it. He argued your side of things suggesting that the program was working as the programmers intended for it to be and because of that I couldn't call it a bug. But, I contend that the program IS NOT working as the programmers intended for it to be because if you look at the OBJECT > TRANSFORM > MOVE item in InDesign it also brings up a dialogue box. This dialogue box also has a PREVIEW check box on it. If the PREVIEW check box is checked then it immediately evaluates the numbers as you enter them into the various fields. And if you enter an invalid number it will immediately present the error message. However, if the PREVIEW check box is left unchecked then it waits until you press the O.K. Button before evaluating the numbers and executing the move. The STEP AND REPEAT dialogue box should behave the same way but it doesn't. It behaves as if the PREVIEW check box is checked whether it is or not. So that is a BUG in my humble opinion.
Thanks for your help in pointing me to the correct form. I'm usually so busy working that I never have time to look that kind of stuff up.

I want to run Lexware on my imac and was told I need bootcamp / parallels for this. Are there any downsides to this?

Hello, I need to run bookkeepting/ bill writing/ store management software on my imac and would like to use Lexware's German product (equivalent of Quickbooks), which can directly link to the German tax autorities. I was told I can do this from my imac via Bootcamp (they dont do a mac version).
Is this advisable and are there any downsides? Is it simple enough? Do I need to be online to use the Lexware software (I live in the deepest countryside with a wobbly connection!).
Thanks a lot for any hints or advice.

There shouldn't be any issues as Boot Camp allows installation of Windows which runs natively just as if you were on a PC. The only downside is that you have to buy a Windows full install disk. Be sure it is the right version for your software.

When I updated to ios 5 I was forced to create a new Apple ID. Now my iTunes sync does not work properly. Why did it do this and is there a way to fix it?

I already had an iTunes account when I pushed the iPhone. After upgrading the OS to 5.0.1, I kept receiving an error message saying that my AppleID was invalid, even though it worked perfectly within iTunes on my PC. It seemed to want my email address as my "new" AppleID so I entered that, but it created a second ID. It seems my cloud account and the "phone" iTunes is attached to the newer ID and my "PC" iTunes account is attached to the older ID.
Now, when I try to sync iTunes, I don't see all of the songs I purchased, some sync and others appear to sync but are grayed out with the sync icon next to the title. The songs are still on my phone, but not in my iTunes library.
Is there any way to fix this and consolidate the accounts? Also, why did the upgrade force me to create a new AppleID? I haven't upgraded to the 4 or 5 phone because I'm afraid this is going to happen again and I'll have a third AppleID to contend with.
Thanks!!

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

I am new to this but need help. Lion and iCloud have never worked on my desk top or MacBook Pro. Slow or Stop! Is there any way to fix the problem?
