  Adobe Systems, Inc. (owner of Adobe Flash) is not related to Mozilla Org in any way. Mozilla has nothing to do with updates to the software they do not create or owned by another company.

  You have a very old version of Flash installed - Shockwave Flash 9.0 r47 - you must upgrade to the latest version available for Mac OSX 10.4.

  Yes, you can use cc on your new mac.

  Just install the application of cc on your new computer, apps download Adobe Creative Cloud desktop | CC free trial Adobe

  Use the desktop application to install your programs of cc.

  as mentioned above, you should logout of your desktop or laptop computer to connect to your new computer (and you will need to connect to install and use your cc programs).  but you can leave cc installed on all 3 of your computers and log in for 2 of the 3 when you want.

  This isn't the problem.

  to get a license to mac, you need a cross-grade: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/order-product-platform-language-swap.htm l

  Unfortunately, adobe offers only cross-grades for the current versions of software and not previous versions.  for example, you cannot use cs4 for mac.

• CP1025nw with the new Mac Mini 10.8.4

  Hello world

  I bought a cp1025nw and a new mac mini with 10.8.4 a few weeks ago, I have problems with the implementation of wireless printing:

  1. as the mac mini is a novelty, it doesn't have the previous version of the printer driver installed, thats why the mac is not able to detect the update to the app store automatically;

  2. the installation disc comes with the printer only is not supported with 10.8.4.

  3. I tried to set up the printer using my old macbook air with 10.5.8, the most up-to-date printer driver is downloaded from the app store and successful installed in my macbook air, however, the printer could not find my network wifi during installation, it shows that:

  ' - Wireless Network Name: ""(Nothing in parentheses).

  and

  -Mode communication: infrastructure

  4. the printer self test report shows that the IP add of the network is 0.0.0.0 in the network information section, but there is a valid IP address Add (192.168.223.1) in the section of direct printing configuration.

  5. the printer works fine with usb connected;

  6. have you consulted with the people from Apple and HP on the phone, the apple people asked me to consult the HP people, then the people of HP asked me to set up the printer with an older version of Mac OS x (which I did), so that I can get the IP add after installation, and then configure the printer with the IP add on my new mac mini , but of course I couldn't get the IP add with what they said.

  7. I downloaded the printer driver more up-to-date on apple store (version 2.14) for my mini mac, the file works fine as I can open the file (unlike the configuration of HP disc invites the message: "your OSX is too new and not is not supported bla bla bla...) »).  However, there is nowhere where I can put in place the printer during installation, the file just happens by itself, installation, then telling me 'your installation is complete.', I dun even have the option of entry or to do any installation during the process;

  8. I am unable to connect the printer to my router because my router is provided by my owner and which is located under the sink in the kitchen =. = »

  9. I went through all the related topics posted here, I tried as much as I can displayed by other users, but always without success.

  The printer driver CP1025nw "drives me crazy", please help!

  Thank you very much!

• Putting swap on the road of new Mac Pro

  Last week, I installed a pretty new EVO 850 500 GB SSD Samsung cloned successfully man requiring 320 startup disk to it.

  As you can imagine, for the past week, I've been myself patting on the back, bragging to my friends and usually insult to the speed of light by Early 2008 Mac Pro 3.1 now working at.

  It's seriously that quickly now, that I fear he will soon realize it's very own form of consciousness and maybe try to destroy the planet or something.

  A week on however I wake up to the news that Apple will release their new OS Sierra, so excited, I rushed to know more.

  Hhhuuummm, is not compatible with Mac Pros more than 2010.

  Now having been a Mac owner and user since the first Macintosh, I am quite aware that if Apple is no longer supported your machine with a BONE, the end is near. Pretty overwhelming after only a week ago, he rose to the status of demigod.

  Thus, faced with the imminent disappearance of my 3.1 and unable to splash the ridiculous $11, 000AUD wanting by Apple for a new, same spec'd Mac Pro, I have to look maybe a 2012 second hand model or similar.

  My question is this. Can I just remove the new Samsung SDD and older Classic readers of my old 3.1 and jump in the bays of a new 5.1 and expect it to work?

  While I'm confident enough that older readers won't be a problem, it's the Start Up disc (with the El Capitan on it) bothers me. Is the disk drive Start Up inseparably linked to my old 3.1 and unable to start a more recent machine unless I have format and start again?

  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  You 'Da Man' Troy, you 'Da Man '... I went through what you've been through as well. Had a Quad core of 2008 that was not serious, but is not a measure quite, so went with a 12 core opportunity pro mac, which, although the phenomena up a little bit on the handles (shipping container was ugly) now works correctly. First, back up your stuff. That is true with any computer-back it upward. Hard drives can and fail, usually without much warning.  Secondly, what you propose should work. The startup disk is not inseparably and absolutely linked to your old 3.1 at all. I'm sure that you have activated the TRIM and do all that. I see no reason why it wouldn't work. That's what I did with my replacement hard drive, only it popped in my recent Mac pro. The only difference is that the sleds by car are somewhat Pluss, and so it will not work in the other. All you need is a Phillips screwdriver, screws don't go, so when you're ready, undo the readers from the old machine, attach them to the new drive sleds and drag em in (by making sure, of course, that they are the correct way around). Assuming that there is a player any of your recent mac pro, you might be able to use Internet recovery * or make some kind of bootable Setup program and put it on a dvd or a USB key. Snow Leopard (10.6.8 I think) will allow you to get at least to the App store, and from there, you can install El Capitan. After you back up your stuff, you can use Migration Wizard and Time Machine, which are integrated into the operating system, to transfer your stuff on and off re - authorize your new Mac (and off allowing the old a) to use the iTunes store and all that, you should be good to go, and more if you want, you can put a blu ray in your new mac (you may have to the Scout for the software to play blu - ray even if - this feature is not built in)

  hope this helps you - I think I paid about $4 322 Canadian with a monitor, and oddly enough, the guy I bought it second hand me that it probably came from Australia...

  * you will need to connect an Ethernet cable to the back of your Mac pro for this... A Wi - Fi connection is not cut it... too slow and capricious

• migration wizard to set up the new mac

  Did a time machine at the top on an old mac and want to transfer only files in my documents folder, but not the Apps on a new machine. Two use of machines, OS ElCapitan which of the three options I have need to select Migration Wizard to minimize transfer "garbage."

  Happy Friday, nigeln!

  I understand you want to be specific about the contents of transfer when migrating from an older Mac to a newer Mac. You are in the right place for help.

  You will need to select the top option during migration: a Mac, Time Machine backup or startup disk. Then, follow the prompts to specify the data you want to transfer.

  In your case, it seems that you can uncheck the box for the Applications folder. Contents of the folder user migrate then, which includes your Documents folder. If you want to be even more precise, click the arrow next to the user account. This will give you access to the drop-down list, where you can select the user account that you want to migrate files.

• Firefox does not open on a new Mac OS - profile cannot be found

  I got a new Mac and have not been able to open FF. I just got this message: "unable to load your firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible.

  I followed all the advice available. I have no profile manager. I have no folder in my library, utilities, Applications or users with a profile.ini I can't find folders or documents anywhere with Firefox or Mozilla other than the app itself... which does not open.

  I deleted Firefox to my computer entirely, reinstalled, rebooted the computer - everything. I always get this message.

  Would appreciate some advice.

  It is clear that there is a problem with the permissions, then you will need to check and possibly fix corrupted files permissions to the location where the main Firefox profile folder and where are stored the file cache.

  • < User > /users//Library/Application Support / Firefox/Profiles/< profile >.

• Transfer IPOD DB to new MAC

  How can I transfer content from my old IPOD to my new laptop Mac?  I tried all the suggestions and make the necessary changes in the settings but I can't access the files on the IPOD Nano.  When I try to sync the IPOD, I'm warned that it will eliminate from my iTunes library.  I just simply want to transfer the files from the IPOD to the Mac.  I can't access the IPOD records, where the music, she is somehow hidden.  Initially I had synced the IPOD on a Windows computer.  This is why I have problems to find the files?  Why Apple would make it so hard?  Thanks for any help!

  iTunes synchronization is generally in one direction, from iTunes to iPod library.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer files of song from iPod to computer (with the exception of songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are methods and third party utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like 'ipod music transfer', you should get a few links (including a CNET article on the subject).

  Ideally, you should transfer your complete from your old computer to your new Mac iTunes library.  Your iPod is not designed to be your vehicle to backup or transfer of iTunes data.  So, if you have access to your old computer, with its iTunes library intact (or have a backup of your iTunes data), please report for information on the best way to transfer your iTunes data to the new Mac.  You will have then everything, including the support of data such as reading lists, notes, date added, etc.  Your iTunes library on your new Mac will the same iTunes library on your old computer.

• Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300 will not be updated on the new Mac OSX 10.7.4

  Running a new MAC - OSX 10.7.4 - Firefox plugin list says updating Shockwave Flash. Upgrade computer, restarted and the list still says I need to update to Shockwave.
  Please can you advise why this is happening and how I can fix the problem.
  Thank you very much

  You have the latest version of Flash - there is nothing more you need to do. The problem is that there is a newer version of Flash, but it's for Windows only. If the plugin check page should just be looking at the version number. I'll fill a bug report and see if this can be fixed.

• migration of events imovie to new Mac without using the Migration Wizard

  Hello

  I want to do the following:

  Migrate from iMovie events of an old MacBook Pro (10.6.8 Snow Leopard) created using iMovie ' 08

  TO

  (Yosemite 10.10.5) iMac with iMovie 10.1.1

  All events are stored on 3 external drives (Nothing on the internal drive of MBP). Disks have FireWire interfaces, I can't connect them directly to the iMac.

  The destination is another external drive, with Thunderbolt interface. I copied the serious events in 3 separate directories, but not tried opening them with iMovie. Wasn't sure if there was data stored elsewhere (in ~/Library for example) that might be needed; In addition, I didn't know if I could manually merge the 3 separate records events iMovie with the Finder, or need to do somehow with iMovie.

  I manually moved everything some time ago - I haven't used Wizard migration; I didn't have enough disk space attached to the iMac when I moved everything, so I carried on using iMovie on the old MBP.

  I googled and read several articles on the events to an external drive / to new Mac, but none of them totally covers my starting position and desired end result.

  Would appreciate any insight how to go on this issue, and how and where exactly iMovie keeps all the data you need.

  The articles are (among others):

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT202853 "update of projects and events from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2014).

  http://help.Apple.com/iMovie/#mov3ac6d42c "copy or move a video in your library of events to an external hard drive.

  https://support.Apple.com/kb/PH2302 "iMovie 11: copy or move video from your library of events to an external hard drive.

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT203049 "move your iMovie for Mac library (2014).

  If your iMovie ' 08 projects contain media from outside the record of events (for example, from iPhoto or iTunes) then we must first using iMovie ' 08 on your old computer to "consolidate" your support so that everything is copied in the events folder.  Details for the iMovie 11 version can be found at: http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6c7c9

  I don't have the ' 08 version help files, but I think it will be the same - you can check with your old Mac.

  "Disks have FireWire interfaces, I can't connect them directly to the iMac.

  FireWire adapters Thunderbolt are available for about € 30, which would use these drives on your new Mac.

  In fact, you can copy the project files and events with the viewfinder of an old external drive to the root level of the new new external drive (which should be Apple - formatted), but it is probably best to do from in iMovie ' 08, as described in the help of Apple.   Do 'copy' and not 'move' - this way you always have a backup of the original on the old disks in case of problems.

  I would like to convert the project files and the events of each of the 3 discs one at a time, creating 3 libraries separate iMovie 10.1.1.  You can always rearrange these in iMovie 10 after you have everything updated and verified.  Some people have reported the update of blocking process at any given time, so update in small batches of events and projects is much better than trying to do everything at the same time.

  In fact I would try to first simply copy one (or a small group) project and its events associated with the new external with iMovie ' 08 HD then update to ensure that it will work - from iMovie ' 08 for iMovie 10.1.1 is a big jump.

  Good luck!

  Geoff.
