Firefox cannot download any Flash content using Mac OS Lion

I am running Mac OS Lion (10.7) and FF 4.01 and 5 (on another Mac). I have both Flash & Video Download and Flash Video Downloader - neither works. It downloads a file showing nothing by gibberish (code).

Do you select the drive and not the partition when you use disk utility?
What is in blue is the drive, below are the existing partitions.  With the drive selected, the partition tab should allow you repartition the drive and select each volumes type, ...

    ipod classic doesn't free memory even if I delete music so I cannot download any new content

    When you connect the iPod to iTunes, in the summary page, what do you see in the Capacity bar?
    How much is used for Audio, Others, video?
    Most likely you have high usage of others, which maybe caused by incomplete sync Operation and the iPod need to be Restored.

  • I cannot download any torrents on my mac.

    Firstly, I should say that I am not using a firewall. Also, other computers of my network can still download torrents. I used to be able to download torrents on this computer, but no longer. I have tried more than one torrent client, and this seems to have happened spontaneously. Any Suggestions?

    Any Suggestions?
    Nope.
    Have your tried here?

  • Firefox cannot install the updates on my Mac OSX Lion

    Firefox tells me there is an update. I click install, but it just sticks at the downloading screen (for hours if I let it) and cannot download. This has been happening ever since I changed to Mac OSX Lion on the new MacBook Air.

    Download from here and install it:

  • Firefox cannot load a directory content using file:///...

    I'm currently using Firefox 3.6.12 on Windows server 2003 64 bits.
    When browsing a smb share mounted on windows with an URL like:
    file:///L:/dossiers_techniques/bugs/I18n_Ndmp/dir-utf8/Mus-%F0%9D%84%9E
    (NB: it's displayed without the %xy stuff but using the appropriate font and glyph)
    I simply obtain the following error page:
    XML Parsing Error: reference to invalid character number
    Location: file:///L:/dossiers_techniques/bugs/I18n_Ndmp/dir-utf8/Mus-%F0%9D%84%9E
    Line Number 184, Column 76:<title>Index of file:///L:/dossiers_techniques/bugs/I18n_Ndmp/dir-utf8/Mus-&#xd834;&#xdd1e;</title>
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------^
    NB: I've crafted this folder and its content for I18N test purposes in the applications I'm working on.
    And this specific Firefox test was triggered by a more complex configuration involving Flex and Java which thrown an exception (java.io.UTFDataFormatException).
    As a matter of fact, using Firefox 3.0.8 running on linux, I can browse the same directory (shared and mounted through nfs) with just the small graphical issue that the single G CLEF glyph is displayed as two unknown glyphs:
    Index of file:///usr/people/lps/dossiers_techniques/bugs/I18n_Ndmp/dir-utf8/Mus-��
    I've uploaded the same "dir_utf8" content on a web server, (see URL given in the "URL of affected site" which is NOT affected): it works pretty find, if the character encoding is manually set to "Unicode (UTF-8)".
    Hence it does seem that this issue is Windows or cifs or file: protocol related.

  • My firefox version is 3.6.12, however I cannot download any add-ons cause it says I am still using version 2, and it is the same for website such as youtube where it is always saying I am using a outdated browser. How do I solve this?

    I keep updating my firefox whenever it prompts me to, and now I am using version 3.6.12, but I still cannot download any add-ons or have problem using youtube cause they still says I am using a older version of the browser.
    But when I go Help > About Mozilla Firefox, I am sure I have the latest version and no more updates can be found.

    You have or had an extension installed (MegaUpload toolbar) that has changed the user agent from Firefox/3.6.12 to Firefox/2.0.0.13
    You can check the general.useragent prefs on the about:config page:
    * general.useragent.extra.firefox Firefox/2.0.0.13 MEGAUPLOAD 1.0
    You can open the about:config page via the location bar, just like you open a website.<br />
    Filter: general.useragent<br />
    If general.useragent prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose Reset.
    See [[Web sites or add-ons incorrectly report incompatible browser]] and [[Finding your Firefox version]]<br />
    See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_your_useragent_string_to_its_compiled-in_default
    Your above posted system details show multiple Java Console extensions.<br />
    You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension, you do not need them to run Java applets.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Multiple_Java_Console_extensions
    See also http://www.java.com/en/download/help/quickstarter.xml - What is Java Quick Starter (JQS)? What is the benefit of running JQS? - 6.0
    Disable the Java Quick Starter extension: Tools -> Addons -> Extensions
    Control Panel -> Java -> Advanced tab -> Miscellaneous -> Java Quick Starter (disable)
    You should update the [[Java]] plugin (Java Plug-in 1.6.0_12) to the latest version (6 U22).

  • I cannot install adobe flash onto my mac, whenever the installation box appears it asks for a password! I have entered my apple ID password and any other password I use, but still no joy! Any advice?

    I cannot install adobe flash onto my mac, whenever the installation box appears it asks for a password! I have entered my apple ID password and any other password I use, but still no joy! Any advice?

    Exactly where are you getting your Flash from? It is quite free from the maker, no password needed.

    However, if you fell for a trap and were lured into a fake site to rob you of your Apple ID credentials, I suggest you change your passwords immediately.

  • Hello, I have an iPad Air. I cannot download adobe flash. Any reason for this? Thanks

    Hello, I have an iPad Air. I cannot download adobe flash. Any reason for this? Thanks

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
      1. Puffin
      2. SkyFire
      3. Photon Flash
      4. Browse2Go
      5. Swifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."
    Download the Facebook app from the iTunes Store. Sign in with your Facebook ID and Password and you won't require flash to play videos.

  • Firefox wont load any flash player or let me download anything

    Firefox wont load any flash player videos and when it does it only buffers so far. I can't download anything like anti-mal/spyware to check if its anything like that.

    Try to boot the computer in Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that works.
    Do you have access to another computer to download the anti-mal/spyware programs and put them on a USB stick with the latest updates or their databases?
    You can also try to download them via sites like FileHippo.

  • HT203200 I made yearly subscription to Chandamama junior English and Telugu magazines which are released on monthly.  I could download for only 2months and cannot download any more.  Please help

    I have made yearly subscription to Chandamama junior english and Telugu magazines which are released monthly by publishers.  I could download for only 2months from itunes store and now cannot download any more.  No error message.  When I enter my itunes store password, it simply ignores.  Please help.

    Hi Charlotte,
    You don't say what your version of Windows you have. Assuming XP, go to Start | Run, type DXDIAG and click OK. Click the Sound tab and run the tests to eliminate a hardware problem first of all. If you don't hear anything, check your cables first of all. Also make sure "Mute" isn't checkmarked in your sound setup. You'll find that in Windows Control Panel.
    Which browser do you use? If you have Firefox 4, sign up to the HTML5 trial @ http://www.youtube.com/html5
    HTML5 is the latest video standard and doesn't require Flash player. Google is in the process of converting all its files to work with the new format. It may solve you problem. If you don't have Firefox 4, you can get it from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
    IE8 doesn't support HTML5.
    To clean out your temp files, go to Start | Run, type: CLEANMGR and click OK. Click OK again to start the utility. Tick all the boxes except "Compress old files" because the latter takes too long, and then click OK. You can run this utility any time you wish by the way.
    The above steps will hopefully fix your problem. If not, post here again please.

  • No sound in any flash content

    Hi.
    I have this weird problem. I have no sound in any flash content. Websites with sound I cannot hear. Applications using flash player does'nt put out any sound.
    I have the volume turned up on my speakers and am able to listen to music from iTunes, also music and videos played with Quicktime sound comes out fine.
    It's the same problem whether I use Safari, Firefox, Camino or directly via the adobe flash 8 software.
    Could this be a virus or a bug in flash player? Is there some hidden setting I can adjust?
    I am using an intel 20" iMac.
    Hope someone can help.
    Thanks
    Vayu

    Thanks for your reply, but that is the version I have installed.
    I have version 9,0,28,0 installed.
