    It appears English is not your first language, so your questions are a bit difficult to understand. But I'll try to answer them as they read to me.

    1- it's need to download all for os x mavericks ?

    "Download" to most people means downloading software via the Internet (some refer to installing the software they already have locally on disk to the computer as "downloading"). If you're referring to downloading the Adobe CC apps from Adobe's servers for installation, Mavericks is the oldest supported Mac OS for that suite. So yes, they will run under Mavericks.

     

    2- it's possible to install them all or they well make in the future some errors and problems or crashes for the os x mavericks ?

     

    No one has a crystal ball to know what will happen in the future. Assuming your system is operating as it should, the Adobe CC apps should work as expected under Mavericks. In the future, will Apple release a security update to Mavericks that causes Adobe's apps to falter, or will Adobe change something in the CC suite that causes errors in Mavericks? It's not possible to answer that question.

    1- adobe flash player.

    Always and only get the free Flash Player from Adobe. Currently, it is supported all the way back to Snow Leopard, 10.6.x. Ask yourself though if you need it. Flash is nearly a dead technology. HTML5 is replacing it as a means to display video in a web browser without the need of a plugin such as Flash. I can't see Flash lasting much longer than another few years.

    2- adobe shockwave, and there is , adobe shockwave 3D , if i am not wrong.

    As far as I can tell, Shockwave is already dead, and has been for quite a while. I haven't installed the Shockwave plugin for years and have yet to run across a site that requires it to view something. I wouldn't even bother installing it.

    3- Authorware.

    That is much too vague. Author what?

    Be sure to consult the Adobe sites too when you have questions about their products, e.g.

    No need to apologize at all. While a bit difficult to read, your English wasn't a bad try. I couldn't even attempt to write in Arabic.

    Unfortunately, you made yourself the owner of every single item on the startup drive. Meaning, all items with an owner value of zero (belongs to the system) changed to 501 (the first user account created on that Mac).

     

    The easiest fix would be to restore a backup created before making this global permissions change. While booted to your external drive, first manually copy any new documents you know don't exist on your backup to another location so they can be added back in after the restore. Then restore your Time Machine backup made prior to the change. If you use SuperDuper!, Carbon Copy Cloner or some other backup method, restore that backup.

     

    If you have no backups, first create backup of the non bootable drive. You can use Disk Utility to create a .dmg image. Make sure of course to save it to a drive other than the one that needs to be fixed. In case anything goes wrong reinstalling the OS (next paragraph), you can always restore the drive back to where you were and try again.

     

    Once you have the backup, restart and hold the Command+R keys to boot into Recovery Mode. Reinstall OS X. It will install all new system files and set them to the proper permissions. That will fix the OS, though you may then need to reinstall all of your third party apps.

    Just for your own reference Authorware was a Macromedia app that is used to create multimedia, cross platform content for computers and for the web and for digital media presentations on disc.

    I believe Adobe acquired Authorware when they bought out Macromedia in the mid to late 1990"s.

    Authorware 7, I believe, is the last version of this software.

    It is very old and if it still ran on versions of OS X 10.2 to 10.6 (through Rosetta), I'd be really surprised.

    I do not know why the OP brought up concerns about Authorware.

    Adobe let it go for a few more releases before abandoning it at version 7 which was compatible with OS X 10.2 or later and the older Mac OS 8.6 or later with some limitations.

    It will never run on newer OS X versions 10.7 and later.

    So, I am at a total loss as to why this was a concern to the OP.

    The last really, possible, viable version of OS X that Authorware might have still run on is OS X 10.5 Leopard.

    Definitely would have been dead software after OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.

    Ah! Thank you, MichelPM. I thought the term Authorware was being used as a generic term, like adware or malware. Meaning, authoring software as as category. So then I wondered, authoring what? Web pages, DVDs, etc.

    OS X has done this for quite a few versions in a row. The first time you right click on an item, it often only shows one app to open the item with, and often the wrong one at that. Performing the right click again gets you the full list you should have seen the first time. There's nothing you can do to fix it. It's a low priority bug.
