Cannot check Allow Third-Party Content from Global Storage Settings panel.

I cannot check the box that says Allow Third-Party Content To Store Data On Your Computer in the Global Storage Settings panel. I have seen many other people with this issues but they have either been unresolved or the resolutions to the problems do not work for me.
I am running
Windows XP SP2 32bit
Firefox 3.6.6 32 bit
Can somebody please help me resolve this issue?

When you open Windows Explorer, type %appdata% into the address bar, and it will take you to the location.
On Windows XP this is usually C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data
From there go down to the 'Adobe' and 'Macromedia' folders and delete the 'Flash Player' folder in each.

Global Storage Settings Panel Options Greyed Out

• Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64bit (brand new installation, all updates installed)
• Mozilla Firefox 4.1
• Adobe Shockwave Flash 10.2.159.1
Some websites with Flash content (such as YouTube) work perfectly fine - however on others (such as Nostalgia Critic), the Flash content will load (I can access the right-click menu) but will not play/show.
I have narrowed the cause down to the Flash Player not remembering any changes I make to the Global Settings Manager. The Allow third-party Flash content to store date on your computer check-box is greyed out and I cannot select it.
Reading through all related forum threads I could find (both here and across the 'net), it has been repeatedly stated that the best solution is to delete the %APPDATA%\Adobe and %APPDATA%\Macromedia folders, however neither currently exists in my %APPDATA% folder.
I am completely stumped! It shouldn't be all that difficult to get this working, should it?

You're correct Willener, it was past midnight when I wrote my original post so I wasn't too specific in regards to the Adobe and Macromedia folders.
One of the first things I checked was to make sure that the SYSTEM account had full permissions to the %APPDATA% folder and I should state that this problem persisted across multiple Windows 7 Ultimate installation attempts (5 in total, across seperate three system drives).
I've tried everything I can think of, the latest of which was (temporarily) installing my work's copy of Adobe Creative Suite 5 in the vain hope that the Flash component of that would 'fix' my lack of Adobe\Flash and Macromedia\Flash folders.
Other applications have not had any issue creating folders in %APPDATA%, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and imgBurn - so I was completely lost.
In utter desperation, I copied my partner's Adobe\Flash and Macromedia\Flash folders from her PC (which was installed with the same Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1 disc (and a seperate TechNet key)) a month ago and voilà - problem solved!
I have no idea why that worked, but it did (as a future reference for anyone who's encountered the same issue as I have).

Cannot delete a third party app from my iPad ... it has frozen mid-download and is not going anywhere fast !

I have a 3rd party app that will not delete. I've tried via iTunes and the App Store but to no avail. I've hard reset my iPad, signed in and out with different Apple ID's but the app remains frozen (mid-download) and I can't get rid of it to reinstall it afresh. Any suggestions ? The developers haven't got a clue how to fix this. I'm the only person with this issue it seems.

Your compliments made my Thanksgiving day and left me speechless. Thank you. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Not seeing "allow third-party Flash content to store..." in Flash 10.0.45.2

Hi,
I just upgraded to Flash player 10.0.45.2. I would like to review and choose my privacy settings.
When I go to the Settings manager through the online interface, I do not see the "Allow thrid-party Flash content to store..." as expected and as described in
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/546/4c68e546.html
Instead, I see
I want to set up my settings to allow to store information from the original domain, but NOT from third-party domains, how do I do this?
The first choice is in French and says :
'Allow Flash content to store information on your computer". There is no reference whatsoever to "third-party" information.
Is this normal? Is this a translation mistake? Does the first choice there apply to ALL information (so-called Flash cookies), from the originated domain AND from the third-party domains?
Second question: I can't seem to find how to see the Settings manager in English...
I am using Firefox, but I tried with Opera, and the Settings manager looked the same: no choice for "third-party" thinsg either.
My OS is Windows XP SP2 (French), but all my browsers are English, so I'd like to see the Flash settings in English, too.
Thanks for any help, I really want to block the third-party cookies, but not the others.

Hi again,
Thanks for your time... but I'm still stuck.
The Language problem
I CAN change the language settings for the Global site, but the Flash Player settings 'live" window is ALWAYS in French, no matter what I do and which language I choose.
The Third-Party Settings problem:
As you said:
In English, the choices are:
Never ask again
Allow third party content to store data on your computer
Store common Flash components to reduce download times
In French, the choices are:
Ne plus demander (This is a correct translation of "Never ask again")
Autoriser le contenu Flash à enregistrer des données sur votre ordinateur : This is an INCOMPLETE OR WRONG translation, the french sentence means "Allow content to store data on your computer". There is NO MENTION of third-party here.
Stocker les composants Flash courants pour réduire la durée de téléchargement. This is a correct translation of "Store common Flash components to reduce download times.
So, am I to think that if I uncheck the second choice, I will disallow third-party stuff (as in the English sentence), or will it disallow ALL content to be stored (as in the French sentence), regardless of third-party or not?
This is very important for me, and for all the French speaking Flash player users.
I can't believe there is such a mistake in a product used as widely as the Flash player is...
The Website Storage settings are per website settings, I do not want to have to accept/deny each website individually, I want a global policy for disabling third-party cookies, exactly as the second choice in English is designed for.
Unfortunately, the French second choice (apparently) doesn't say the same, as it allows/disallows ALL contents.
Could someone from the Adobe translation team (or equivalent) help to solve this, maybe?
Regards and thanks for any help.

"Allow Third-Party Flash Content to Store" possible as a Linux user?

Hello,
is it possible to activative the option "Allow Third-Party
Flash Content to Store" on the "Global Storage Settings" panel if
you are starting a webbrowser as a normal user under Linux? At the
moment it is only possible for me if I start my Firefox (or Opera,
Konqueror) with root priviileges. Do I have to change the rights of
a certain folder or something like that?
The reason why I ask is that I noticed that you can activate
sound in YouTube Videos only if you activate Flash Cookies.
My Flash Player version is the current one, version 9. I use
Kubuntu 7.10, if it is of any importance.
Thanks for any help
UltraBreyten

OK, I solved it. There is a hidden .macromedia folder in the
home folder, where the youtube sound settings are stored.
Everything in the macromedia folder was set as root. I simply
deleted the .macromedia folder, it was recreated with user rights
when I came back to youtube.

Cannot check boxes in Global Storage Settings

When I go to the Global Storage Settings panel online I am unable to check the box "Allow third party Flash content to store data on your computer"
Because of this I can not use many Websites that require flash. I can use youtube and hulu, but not pandora or tv websites like comedy central.
I have the latest version of Flash, and this happens in any Web browser (Safari, Firefox, Chrome) that I try. I am on MAC OS X.
Any help please!

That's interesting. I thought maybe if I trashed the preferences I too could fix my problem--which is the opposite of
yours/hers. I want to UNCHECK 3rd Party Content Storage, which is greyed out on the Flash Settings Manager
online. However, with OS X 10.9.3 in neither Library, the separate one nor in the System file, under "Caches" is there anything for Adobe. However, you, Katie, don't say which version of OS X you're using.
If clearing your preferences did it for you, it maybe that you had some older preferences in your cache and
deleting them may have put you into the same situation several of us have found ourselves in.
With this latest version of Flash, we're not able to UNCHECK 3RD PARTY CONTENT STORAGE.
Thus you didn't have to go back to check or enable it for your needs.
Meanwhile, the rest of us are stuck with it or we have to disable flash.
It'a also interesting to note, that under any of the Flash preferences on my computer, where there could/should
be websites listed where I have allowed storage, or whatever, there is NOTHING listed. The same is true for the online
Flash Player Settings Manager. ?????

Global Storage Settings Issue

Well, I'm stumped...
I have the newest flash player installed, however I can't use several applications because I'm unable to check the "Allow third-party Flash content to store data on your computer" box. I can move the slider to increase the cache size, but when I switch tabs it resets. The arrow changes to a hand when I mouse over the box, but when I click it does nothing.
I'm using Internet Explorer on Windows 7 x64.
Thanks!

I am having this same issue. but i use firefox. the addons and plugins are all there. but i cant check the boxes in the global storage settings panel at all. the slider works though..but resets when i change a tab.
these are the files in my flash folder [C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash]

Global Storage Settings won't retain desired configuration - Help??

Windows 8.1 64bit
IE 11.0.12
Flash 15.0.0.189
When I visit this Link:
Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Global Storage Settings Panel
and I try to set my Global Storage Settings from 100KB to 10MB, it lets me do that, BUT when I reopen the panel I see that it went right back to 100KB.
I need it to be 10MB because I store a lot of stuff. I keep running into issues with 100KB.
I have already tried deleting the Flash Player folder under "%appdata%\Adobe" and "%appdata%\Macromedia" but that did not solve it.
How can I get my Global Storage Settings to go to 10MB and STAY there?
Thanks.

Yeah, this looks like a bug specific to IE on Windows 8 and higher.
I've filed the following bug on your behalf: Bug#3840386 - [Win8.x] Global Storage Settings control panel doesn't work in IE
As a temporary workaround, you could use Chrome.
Thanks!

Found this info recently, try this:
Note for IT / Tech Support staff: If you are in a Windows domain login environment, such as a workplace network, there could be a conflict with the location of the Desktop directory. Some users have reported success by creating an empty folder named "Desktop" in their home directories (so if you already have a "Desktop" folder in your home directory, this probably will not help).
In explorer, go to your home directory location:
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\WINDOWS-USERNAME\
Vista: C:\Users\WINDOWS-USERNAME\
Create a new folder named "Desktop" in that location. Then try enabling Flash Local Storage again, as above.

Adobe After Effects CS4 Third Party Content only installed on one of two computers

Hello,
I installed Adobe Creative Suite CS4 MC on two systems. One system lists "Adobe After Effects CS4 Third Party Content" in Add/Remove Programs. This left me a bit baffled as to what this content is and why it only installed on one machine (i.e., assuming I did not erroneously selected or deselected it during the default install). I thought it would be reasonable to install the missing content on the second machine but I cannot find an installer listing "Adobe After Effects CS4 Third Party Content" in the CS4 default or custom installer.
Could someone please tell me what this content is used for and how I can install it on the second machine?
Thank you...

> It should by no means be shown separately in the install database
That's not true for one case.
If you install After Effects in trial mode, the third party content won't be installed. But it leaves the third party content installer on your machine so that when you add a serial number the plug-ins can be added. This causes a new installer to run, so it will be registered (and need to be uninstalled) separately from the main installer.
Frederick- Verify that both machines have the third party plug-ins that Mylenium listed. If it's not on the second machine you probably have it in trial mode and need to serialize. (If not, try uninstalling and reinstalling After Effects from the Master Collection package.)

YouTube and "Matched third party content".

I have known for a few years that YouTube employs software that can detect videos containing audio from commercial CDs etc. but I didn't know how incredibly efficient it is.
I filmed a large theatrical event ten days ago and yesterday uploaded almost 2 hours of edited video in 9 parts.
Within seconds of the upload finishing, the "Matched third party content" message was appearing on 4 of the 9 videos.
It appears that the people organising the performance had used commercial music in those parts but in the others they were playing their own instruments.
Whether or not they have a licence to use the recordings I have yet to discover.
Generally speaking, YouTube allows you to use professional music in non-profit making videos but sticks adverts on them.
Regardless of whether YouTube permits it, the use of music from CDs etc. is illegal and if they wish, the copyright owners can sue you for large sums of money.
Frequently on the FCP X forum (and others) editors claim that because they have bought the recording they can use it in any way they wish.
This is totally incorrect and the purchase of a record usually only permits you to play it in your own home or in an iPod/car audio system type device when away from home.
The use in public halls and in videos (even for personal use) is forbidden.
Anyway, getting back to YouTube's copyright detection equipment, I am absolutely amazed at how it monitors every uploaded video and instantly flags up a violation even though the original recording may be somewhat distorted by having passed through a PA system and been picked up by a dodgy camcorder mic.

me too!
Even crowd noises, added audio-effects or over-layered sounds don't 'irritate' those detectors.
What irritates me:
there are literally MILLIONS of 'videos' at YT avail, showing a plain title 'Lady Gaga's latest' plus actual hits, etc ....
For me as a YT-customer, I don't see the conclusiveness of the publishing politics of YouTube.......

Sending query to third party portal from TREX Search Engine

HI Experts,
we need to implement normal search option in SAP portal.
when we search any thing from portal ,
It has to search in EP & KM and also it has to search
windows sharepoint portal and bring the data back to SAP Portal.
For this purpose one solution is
1) implementing enterpise search,
but my client dont want to go for enterprise search(federated search).
2) The other way
Sending query to third party portal from TREX Search Engine
In this way what i want is ,
how TREX can send query to third party portal SEARCH ENGINE
(in my case share point portal search ENGINE).
There is no problem to search in EP & KM becuse it is default.
To search in Micro soft Share point portal,
TREX should pass the query to share point portal search ENGINE.
Is there any API TO send a query to third party portal like sharepoint?
I searched in SDN and Other sites also but i am not getting exactly what I require.
If any one has ideas or implemented already please guide me.
My client require searching option like this,
we need to provide drop down box in SAP Portal with 3 options like
1) search in Share point portal
2) search in SAP EP & KM
3) Search in both the portals
please provide any code samples in case if you have.
please help me , its urgent
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Bala

Hi Bala,
please check the information on the KM IMS (Index Management Service) in KMC's developer guide. A connection to a 3rd party search is done from KM, then calling TREX and XY in parallel, not serially from TREX.
Here's a paper describing this for an older KM release:
