Flash Player Square troubles in Mac OS X Snow Leopard

For the last 2 - 3 days or so, I have been having severe problems with Flash Player Square Preview 2, 64-bit in Firefox 4.0 Beta 7.
Most sites seem to work fine, but on YouTube nearly every video I try to play performs very poorly. The video lags horribly, and is very choppy and blocky.
I have tried the following:
1. Uninstalling/Reinstalling Flash Player - No Success.
2. Deleted my Firefox profile. - No Success
3. Playing videos with fresh profile and NO ADDONS. - No Success.
and Finally,
4. Reinstalled Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.5 - No Success.
Also one more important thing to note, I had a friend with a similar setup(Firefox 4.0 Beta 7 - Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.5) as my own try it, and he too said that the videos are playing choppily with the same results.
Flash does however, perform well on every site in 32-bit release versions of Firefox 3.6.X as well as Safari and Chrome. And it performed fine even in a 64-bit Browser earlier this week too.
Also, I do not believe the problem is 64-bit related, since I get the same results if I tick the Open in 32-bit Mode check box in Get Info for Firefox 4.0 Beta 7.
Any suggestions for this problem would be much appreciated.

Did you want me to re-post this in that forum or can one of the mods from here move it?

Flash Builder 4 Configuration on Mac OS X Snow Leopard

FB 4 is incorrectly configured. Need help configuring it ASAP. Thanx in advance.

Dear all,
Finally I solved the problem. Indeed, my boot hard disk had to be reformatted for a catalog file crash (not linked with this issue), forcing me to reinstall my Mac OS X from scratch.
Then I reinstalled my environnement. The following process was successful, exactly in this order, as there is obviously a problem between svn eclipse plug-ins and Flash 4 Builder (for all OS, not only Mac OS : NEVER install svn after having install FB4, it doesn't work).
1) Install eclipse-jee-ganymede-SR2-macosx-carbon.tar
2) Install svn with only the 2 following components : (check only those 2 check box in Available Software panel in Eclipse Software updates menus)
- SVN Team Provider incubation from Ganymede update site (http://download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/0.7/update-site/)
- SVNKit 1.1.7 Implementation from Polarion site : http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/2.0/update-site/
3) Install flashbuilder4_b1_plugin_mac_060109.dmg. Do not use the Eclipse bundled with Flash but select the Eclipse installed first, during plug ins install
start Eclipse not from the shortcut given in Flash Builder directory, but with Eclipse standard icon.
And it works fine now.
It seems that most of my problems were coming from a bad install of svn, where I was installing windows extensions that are not used or course by svn plug ins on a Mac...
Anyway, I suggest Adobe Flash builder team to think to use Eclipse Software Update standard procedure, instead of a proprietary installer. It would certify the right dependencies...

No Video with IE9 Flash Player 'Square'

I recently purchased a new Acer notebook computer for my business travel in late March 2011. The machine is running Windows 7 64bit OS and had IE8 64bit installed. I installed IE9 upon receipt of an update notice from Microsoft and downloaded Adobe Flash Player 'Square'. I am unable to view any internet video on news websites (ie: CNN, Fox, MSNBC, etc). The screen is completely blank, but does contain the audio. I do receive video for any 'You Tube' file I have attempted. I have removed and reinstalled both IE9 and Flash 'Square' multiple times after attempting various 'fix' I have found on line, but the problem persists and I cannot view video content. This is forcing me to use 'Chrome' when using this machine. Can you help me? Thanks.

No big fan of Chrome, so I can relate to your dismay. But, I'm even less of a fan of IE (any version). The fact that YouTube videos will play but not the news sites tells me the Flash Player is working (otherwise you'd have no videos anywhere). The problem is in IE somewhere. I just got IE9 a week ago, so I haven't gotten into "debugging" it yet, but I have no trouble with videos using Firefox, and it's a better browser than Chrome or IE in my opinion.

Trying to install Adobe Flash Player 11 on my Mac...PluginProcess?

Trying to install Adobe Flash Player 11 on my Mac. The insallation stops and I am told to exit something called PlugInProcess. I don't know what it is. I don't show it being open. Any help?

The Plugin Process is an app that runs alongside Firefox and Safari when they're open. Lately Firefox's plugin process has been "hanging" on my Mini. I'll close the app but it keeps running and using RAM for several minutes.
Download the Mac Offline Installer here
Quit your browser and reboot if necessary to "kill" all processes.
Then mount the DMG and run the installer.

Loading Flash Player 9 on PPC Mac - need help

Hi!
I am trying to load Flash Player 9 onto my Mac but it won't
work. I've tried everything I could find on this forum (and yes, I
did read all 87 posts on the topic). Anyway, my Mac is a Power PC
G4 with OSX 10.4.11 and my browser is Safari 3.1.
Every time I try to load, it takes me back to the downloads
page on the Adobe website. I've used the uninstaller & tried
reinstalling - no luck. I've tried changing the items mentioned in
QuickTime - no luck. I've even tried using the code with the
Terminal - no luck. Disk permissions - no luck.
Any other suggestions before I take a hammer to my machine??
Thanks!

I just installed the Flash Player 9 on my Power PC based Mac OS X 10.3.9 and
now no Flash elements work in Safari 1.3.2, or even Explorer. I have been sure to close all browsers, uninstall first etc. The
installations appears to complete successfully, but I get the following error
message on any page that has flash: Maybe Flash Player 9 is not compatible with it.

Internet Explorer 9 and Adobe Flash Player Square (x64)

I have a question, I use internet Explorer 9 Beta and I just heard a new version of Adobe Flash came out, my operating System is x64... I downloaded Adobe Flash Player Square and do I have to use Internet Explorer (64) or can I use the Normal one (Internet Explorer) for Adobe Flash Player to work?
Thank you

Hi, The Flash Player Square is a beta, so it is going to have problems. IE9 is a beta, so the same. I would not Install both betas.
I would decide which one you want to use, if any. But I would not use both!!
Betas are for developers and other users that want to test using it and report back to Adobe problems they find, etc. The same thing with IE9, they use it, find problems and report back to Microsoft.
Then when all of the problems are worked out, the companies release it to everyone.
If you decide not to use the Flash Player beta, then you must Uninstall before Installing the 10.1 version.
Hope that helps.

Now after 5 weeks, you have always not resolved this very important and urgent issue. It seems that Adobe has realy abandonned the actionscript / flash player projects. Why not simply discontinue flash player on desktops too ? Or even better remove or block "automaticaly" all flash players with the final update. That could create a serious issue on the Internet for few weeks but at least that will be honorable end like a Samurai's Seppuku...

When using flash player for games, the mac runs real slow

When using flash player for games, the mac runs real slow. It's also not the fastest at anything. Can I do anything to speed stuff up ?????

Have no clue. You provided no details and your system profile is blank.
Which os are you using?
How are you connected to the internet?
Have you contacted your isp to make sure the slowness is not coming from their end?
Max out your ram.
How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?
You you using the latest version of Adobe Flash?
Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.

Since installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard my macBook pro does not allow Adobe Flash plug in even after attempting to download. Any advice what to do? Tks

Hello,
Since installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro, I cannot use Adobe Flash. Each time i attempt to download Adobe i get the same message "blocked plug-in'. Any ideas?
Tks

alisel,
the latest version of Adobe Flash Player that runs on Snow Leopard (or newer versions of OS X) can be downloaded here.
Once you’ve installed it, you might need to check Safari’s Preferences, in the Security tab, to make sure that the “Allow Plug-ins” checkbox is checked.

You apparently did not properly install the SL DVD onto your flash drive. You will have to find the lost DVD or buy a new one.

Can I run Adobe CS, CS3, CS4, and CS5 software on Apple Mac upgrade forom Snow Leopard to Maveric OS X ?

I would like to know if I can run my older Abobe CS, CS3, 4, 5 on an upgrade from Mac OS X Snow Leopard to OS X Mavericks ?

Might work; might not. Legacy apps (CS2, 3, 4) that weren't built to run on modern operating systems may have trouble with Mavericks. I think you'll be OK with CS5, 6 and CC.
