[New required SL Viewer for Mac *does not work* - version 4.0.5.315117]

New required SL Viewer for Mac *does not work* - takes 10 plus minutes churning at login and does not complete, i.e. can't get inworld.  (Once or twice it did complete but once inworld, the system immediately crashed.) WHY? Have not had a problem before and have made no changes to my computer. This is the newest viewer version 4.0.5.315117 that was required for any L$ transactions.  At login, viewer gets stuck at loading regions & loading world.  I have uninstalled / reinstalled several times with same results. Any info or advice appreciated.

Update: Downloaded & installed latest version of Firestorm and that works fine so I can finally login and get inworld. But still want to know why the latest Mac SL Viewer does not work as I actually prefer the SL Viewer interface.

[How do I get Adobe Flash Player to allow me to watch movies on Second Life?]

Hoping sl updates its own media compatibility with Adobe Flash Player. Agree it is a step backwards to have to use a previous version of an industry standard in order to make sl features work correctly.....

[I'm a cloud]

One quick trick that has worked for me is to open your Inventory & put on a different bald wig, or hair.  Usually that de-clouds me in a few seconds.   Hope this little trick works for you too.

[can not start second life, he hecho todas las recomendaciones de servicio tecnico el problema es que]

This has happened to me.  One suggestion is to have your friends flood your inbox with IMs.  Eventually the system will recognize that you are not really logged in, and you should then be able to login to your account normally.  Or you can create an alt account for yourself, and use that account to send IMs to your frozen avatar, and flood your inbox yourself.  It sounds odd, but it actually did work for me.  Hope this helps - it's no fun to be ghosted! 

 

[Viewer trouble. Auto update changed my Preferences settings for Graphics, etc. Takes forever to load]

Those constant Auto updates of SL Viewer changed my Preferences settings for Graphics, etc. Now it takes forever to load graphics.  Usually my avatar is a particle cloud or white oval for a long time.  Prims & builds appear as big gray blobs & gray geometric shapes.  Colors (sky, etc) are very muddy / dark.  When I adjust Graphics preferences higher, the sky etc turn pitch black - even my avvie's skin turned black.  When I adjust bandwidth higher, everything chokes instead of improving.  Even with all settings as Low as you can go, regardless of what I do, everything is super-laggy now and takes *forever* to load - and sometimes never loads.  Yes, I have an older laptop but it worked "fine enough" as of 1-2 weeks ago.  Yes, cleared cache etc.  No, I can't afford a new laptop right now.  Nothing is changed regarding my network, etc.  Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

[undued charge]

The same thing just happened to me.   It definitely charged me, and I never got my upload.  The system crashed right after it charged me .      Did you ever find out if you could be refunded?  Every upload charge matters..

I should add that every time I tried to upload, SL would crash.  I'm in the middle of a project and needed to get the work done, so kept trying.  Guess I should have known better.  Has anyone else had this problem before (system crashes when trying to upload)?  thanks...
