For any mac users with Poser 9, Poser 10, Poser Pro 2012 or Poser Pro 2014 who are feeling confused and forlorn at the apparent loss of your decades of carefully curated and lovingly purchased Poser Content, here are the steps required to restore access to your library runtimes, now that Adobe Flash Player has exited the building. Shock, horror, gasp!

  • Exit Poser (This is very important, as Poser will overwrite your preferences file when it exits, wasting your time)
  • In the Finder, open a new Finder window; From the File menu, choose New Finder Window (or press ⌘N)
  • With the new finder window selected, from the Go menu, choose Go To Folder... (or press ⇧⌘G)
  • In the "Go to the folder:" dialog, type "~/Library" without the double-quotes, and click Go (this is required as a user's Library folder is normally hidden).
  • Within the "~/Library" folder, navigate to "Application Support/Poser/9" for Poser 9, "Application Support/Poser/10" for Poser 10 "Application Support/Poser Pro/9" for Poser Pro 2012 or "Application Support/Poser Pro/10" for Poser Pro 2014.
  • In that folder, you will find a file called "Poser Prefs". Select the file and from the File menu, choose Duplicate (or press ⌘D). This will create "Poser Prefs copy", a backup.
  • Select "Poser Prefs" again, and from the file menu choose Open With..., and then TextEdit (or your preferred text editor) from the dropdown menu.
  • When TextEdit opens, make sure the Poser Prefs window is selected, then from the Edit>Find menu, choose Find... (or press ⌘F) and type LIBRARY_IS_AIR into the Search box and press return.
  • Double-click on the "0" following the selection and type the digit 1
  • Save the Poser Prefs file.
  • If you chose to IGNORE the warning to Quit Poser beforehand, Quit it NOW and save the Poser Prefs file again, making sure it still shows "LIBRARY_IS_AIR 1".
  • Quit TextEdit (or whichever text editor you used.
  • Launch Poser 9/10 or Poser Pro 2012/2014.

NOTES:

  • The Poser Library app should also launch if the library palette was previously visible when Poser quit. The Poser Library window is unfortunately not dockable within Poser's interface, since it's a separate app, but it has all the functionality, including drag and drop into Poser.

  • When Poser 9/10/PPro2012/PPro2014 launches, you may not see the library palette. If not, from the Window menu, choose Libraries, which will launch the Poser Library app.

  • When the Poser Library starts, you may see something similar to this: Screen Shot 2021-01-27 at 8.35.16 am.png

  • Simply click Continue and the SSL Certificate dialog will go away.
