Question

Some pages need a Macromedia shockwave-flash

Some sites need a macromedia shockwave flash. I've downloaded and installed. But everytime I open Safari again, it asks for the Flash Plugin again and again.
Please help! Can't see a program I bought.

New IMAC - Intel duo core, Mac OS X (10.4.4), 1GB Memory, 250 HD

Paola,

Adobe hasn't developed an Intel version of the Shockwave and Flash plugins for Mac yet. You have two choices:

a) Wait for a Universal build of the plugins
b) Try running Safari under Rosetta. To do this, open the Applicattions folder; select (highlight) Safari; and then perform a Get Info (press Command+I) on it. In the info window that opens, check "Open using Rosetta." Close the window when done.

Let me know if this solves your issue. Good luck!

I had the same exact problem and unfortunatley there is no solution as of yet. We are waiting for adobe to come on board with the new version of osx. I downloaded mozilla firefox to use in the meantime. And you can download shockwave and flash player through firefox. And I've had no problems with any websites.

Wait a minute...now I'm curious. Does Firefox automatically run with Rosetta? Version 1.5 was compiled before the Intel switch...
