Flash plug-in won't play media in OS X 10.4.11/PPC

I uninstalled my flash plug -in/player. I also went into my OS X library or root and trashed all the flash folders and files I could find. I reinstalled Flash and now, while the flash content players will load, and some content mainly music will play, no video will play, or load the player for the most part and music on some sites will not play.
Where can I find what root folders/files I messed up and need have in place to get my Flash working properly again? For ex. SoundCloud works at the SC site, loads it's player in Facebook, but it won't play the music content.
Thanks

Thanks for the replies.
In an attempt to establish whether it was the computer or the router I plugged in an old speedtouch 510 router which I had lying around - this worked first time, so I guess it's the netgear that is the issue and I will need to reset it and re-enter all the details, unless anyone knows of a quicker way...?

  • Premiere Pro won't play media intermittently in Yosemite

    Hello all,
    I have a Premiere Pro CC 2014 (2014.1 Release, the latest one) installed on Yosemite 10.10.
    It's running on a  Macbook Pro (Early 2011 model) with 16gb of RAM, 512GB SSD, 1TB HDD, AMD Radeon 6750 Card with 1GB of RAM.
    On Mavericks 10.9.5 it all ran perfectly.
    On Yosemite I have intermittent problem with media playing.
    After a restart if I open Premiere Pro and open any of my projects it will say media loaded, however it won't play it. If you hit play nothing happens. The videos won't show either in source window or timeline. Quitting the program results in a hang. I have to force quit the application and than I get an error Premiere Pro encountered a serious error. Upon second program open, the media will work fine and everything will work fine. That's until I turn off the computer or restart it and than it's over again. I have to open the program, force quit it and only than it will work.
    I cleared Premiere's preferences, caches, moved media to a different drive, reinstalled Premiere Pro and even clean installed the operating system. The problem persists.
    What's interesting is that if I open Premiere after a restart and start a NEW project, import the media and start editing, it will work. When I save it and quit and than open the program again it will show the same problem and I'll have to force quit it after which it will work again.
    The only plugin I have is Neat Video 3.6.
    This problem is really annoying and I hope someone can help me solve it out.
    All best,
    Goran

    Hi CopyCatFilms,
    Shouldn't Adobe be the one updating to account for video card driver changes?  I thought that was the benefit of paying monthly? 
    We test all GPUs with current drivers, but new drivers can come out faster than releases of Premiere Pro. Also, we can't update Premiere Pro every time there is a driver update. That would be pretty difficult to pull off. Sorry.
    If not, please advise on which NVIDIA graphics driver will actually work with PrPro. Because this is NOT working. Currently running: CUDA Driver Version: 6.5.45
    Typically, we recommend that you install the latest drivers for your GPU. It sounds like you have done so. Most people are having best success with these drivers on systems running OS X 10.10.2. Are you updated to that version?
    It renders out complete videos with weird pixel bugs across them. 
    When did it start behaving this way? After installing the new drivers? After updating OS X? After updating a Premiere Pro project from Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 (8.1) to Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 (8.2)? We need more info to assist you: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
    Not to mention, it crashes 10 times a day...running back to FCPX.
    If you're crashing that many times per day, you should troubleshoot your system with our agents. Contact them M-F 7AM-7PM PST. Ask for the "video queue." You can either chat or get a phone call going: Contact Customer Care
    The other possibility is that by updating OS X, you may have changed the read write permissions of crucial Adobe folders. See this article for an explanation and a potential fix:
    Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)
    I also recommend the following steps for Mac users having trouble crashing on Mavericks or Yosemite:
    Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
    Update any GPU drivers
    Trash preferences
    Delete media cache
    Delete preview files
    Remove plug-ins
    If you have AMD GPUs, make sure CUDA is not installed
    Repair permissions
    In Sequence Settings > Video Previews, change the codec to one that matches your footage
    Disconnect any third party hardware
    If you have a CUDA GPU, ensure that the Mercury Playback Engine is set to CUDA, not OpenCL
    Disable App Nap
    Reboot
    Let us know if any of these steps worked for you.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • SWF created in Flash MX 7 won't play in browser w/Flash Player 9

    I just noticed that my website, which I made from a template
    from templatesheaven.com, isn't playing in Flash Player 9 in a
    browser. It plays in the standalone player for some reason, but
    when I look at it on the web, it shows just the count-in (or
    whatever it's called, the pre-load), but stops when the counter
    hits 99% and the action never starts. The website is at:
    www.gwhitty.com
    I built it using Flash MX 7, but for all I know the template
    was made using Swish, which apparently causes problems with Flash
    Player 9. Anyone have any other ideas? Still plays fine in FP7, so
    I'm stumped. If I open my .fla file in Flash 9 and then export,
    will that likely fix the problem? Any ideas appreciated...

  • Firefox flash plug in crashes when playing farmville

    My flash plug in crashes often when playing farmville. i usually click ok to submit a report. mozilla must have thousands of crash reports from me. i have done everything i know to do to resolve the issue. so far i have cleared out cache, cookies and history. i also keep all software and plug ins updated. i also do frequent spyware and virus scans. i just dont know what else to do. nothing has worked so far.

    You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

  • Some flash video/audio won't play

    Hello, I'm using 10.6.7 and the lastest Flash plugin.
    I've troubles with playback some flash video and audio in all browsers: Safari, Firefox 4, Chrome.
    For example, Soundcloud.com works fine, but as a widget on other web-sites it doesn't work. Youtube and Vimeo — perfect, but BBC's videos won't play (ex., http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13054205).
    Any ideas?

    Your link works fine for me in Safari.
    Check your "extensions" (browser add ons) for your browsers. Some may conflict.

  • Adobe quicktime flash plug-in won't stay plugged in

    I have installed and re-installed the adobe quicktime flash plug-in for powerPC based macs several times over the past few weeks. Each time the plugin works for about one or two surfs on the internet then the little "Q-?" symbol appears again only to my great frustration. This seems to happen at the same time in both firefox and safari. Any suggestions about what to do? I tried repairing permissions and restarting after install. Thanks. Erin

    DonaSuerte,
    Apple Discussions!
    Try the following:
    QuickTime Preferences > Advanced > MIME Stettings > Miscellaneous.
    Deactivate the "Flash Media" option.
    This tells the browser not to to display Flash Media and lets the newly installed Adobe software work its magic.
    ==================
    If the above thread doesn't help, try this...
    Last but not least: Thanks to QuickTimeKirk........
    Quit QuickTime.
    Open User (Home)/Library/Preferences and delete any .plist file with QuickTime in its name. Don't worry as a new one will be created.
    Open System Preferences/QuickTime and see if the window and tabs work as they should.
    The following post should be helpful also: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=779076&tstart=0

  • Flash and Shockwave Won't Play in Safari 4.0.1

    I recently got a MBP. After doing additional software installation, I now find that I cannot play anything at youtube.com. I made sure I had the latest Flash Player version. It's working in Firefox but not in Safari.
    When I try to view an article at NYT, I get this:
    The page “Op-Ed Columnist - The End of the Beginning - NYTimes.com” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
    I do have shockwave installed. How do I fix this?

    Okay, but what Terminal command did you attempt to use before? What happens in the new user account when you try Safari there? Do you have any Input Managers installed? Those are located in /Library/InputManagers and Home/Library/InputManagers; if you don't have either of those folders, then you have no Input Managers.
    You can also try quitting Safari and going to Home/Library/Preferences and deleting the com.apple.Safari.plist file, then restarting Safari and resetting all your preferences to see if that resolves the problem. But don't do that until after you've had no luck with the things above.

  • Adobe flash player videos won't play

    I've got the most current version of Adobe Flash installed but still can't play videos that play fine with Safari. Don't know if it an extension, plug-in, or ? problem.
    When I click on a video, I don't get a message such as missing plug-in or anything. I just get a page with a blank space where the video should be.

    So mine wasn't working for anything, but then it did in safe mode, so I followed the instructions here on the page below and it worked. Hope this helps someone else!

  • Insert flash video? Won't play

    Any tips on inserting Flash video into a project in Captivate 4?
    I can get video to appear an play in Preview, but after publishing, the video doesn't appear and the slide forwards.
    (Also, there seems to be a conssitent problme where preview is inaccurate.)

    The videos are in the same folder as the project, and they appear in the published folder.
    Tried path 2 ways:
    myvideo.flv
    /myvideo.flv
    Neither made a difference.
    There are 3 videos on this slide --- could that be a problem?

  • Windows Media Player won't play media (way to go MS!)

    Seems a LOT of people are having trouble getting Windows Media player to work, including me.
    When I click a link, such as a song sample link on Amazon, the Media Player window opens, but then doesn't play. Sometimes I get the message "Cannot open the file. Verify that the path and filename are correct and try again."
    I have re-downloaded the file and re-installed the app, and trashed
    the preference files, but still nothing. I have unchecked Multicast, UDP and TCP, in preferences, as someone suggested.
    And why do media players insist on moving the volume control to "max"
    when they open, instead of staying where you set them?! Quicktime does
    the same thing.

    if the media file was created in v10 of media player, then the current Mac client will be unable to read the file.
    (MS in their wisdon decided to make the file format incompatible with v9 for Mac.)
    alas, we have no way of knowing which version created the wmv file.
    You may also have a hosed WMP plugin. Try right clicking the link and downloading the file instead of playing it through your browser.

  • Flash (swf) files won't play LOCALLY

    For a couple years now I've been making Flash demos that are
    embedded in an HTML page, for viewing online. The exact same pages
    also work offline, ie. from a CD, USB drive, or another PC's hard
    drive.
    Suddenly, that just stopped working! I've done all the
    troubleshooting and bug elimination I can do - there's no reason I
    can come up with why the pages which preview fine off my authoring
    PC and work perfectly when online, DON'T work anymore when the
    exact same directory is taken to another PC.
    All the referred links are in place, I can view the SWF from
    USB when I drag & drop the file to a browser (so the plugins
    are fine), I know the linking is correct, but when the HTML is
    viewed locally from another machine, the embedded SWF just... never
    appears. My old pages done the same way still work, but no new
    pages do. I've compared code side-by-side and it all looks fine...
    this page show the demo fine online...
    www.invmed.info/test/all_mono/e_demo_clrcassette_mono.html
    ...but when you download this EXACT SAME directory to another
    PC, the Flash doesn't appear. Can anyone please tell me why?? Here
    is the simple directory of files:
    www.invmed.info/test/test.zip

    I FIGURED IT OUT! The AC_RunActiveContent.js script was not
    being correctly pathed to by Dreamweaver, even when brand new pages
    were made. For the script to be created the first time (and it
    won't mention it again after that), you have to start a whole new
    site. Once I did that, the clues finally started fitting together.
    Found the code via search, fixed the offending path, and
    voila.

  • My Flash SWF file inside of my Flash Catalyst SWF won't play when previewed in Dreamweaver?

    However, when I preview the flash catalyst swf file, the flash swf thats inside, plays just fine. any suggestions or solutions?

    Does the one swf load the other swf?  If so, is the one swf in the same folder as the html file that embeds it?

  • Flash file asset won't play when specified by a variable.

    I have several Flash assets that I want one of played basied
    on the value of a variable that contains a file location. I've
    tried =variable for the file name as I use in sound, movie and
    display icons, but it doesn't seem to work for the flash player. Is
    there a way to make this work? To call a Flash asset via a variable
    that specifies the flash asset path and file name?

    Open the Flash Sprite, open the Options for the Sprite. There
    you will see a
    Help button. Press it and you will see a new, previously
    invisible help
    file. Select the command reference and enjoy.

  • Non-flash youtube videos won't play on safari

    Using the desktop version of youtube on safari - not the app.
    The page loads, the screen is blank with the "Play" arrow button in the middle but then the video won't start/load/play. If I navigate away from the page, it will briefly show the first frame and then it disappears again. These are videos that were working absolutely fine up to last night with iOS 5. I have since done hard reset and installed iOS 5.0.1 but no luck. Any ideas what might be happening?
    Thanks in advance

    Using the desktop version of youtube on safari - not the app.
    Swipe left on your Home screen then type:  Youtube    in the search field. 
    The app looks like this >  It comes pre installed on the iPad so there's no way to delete it.

  • D/L Firefox 7, Flash 10 doesn't launch. Never had this problem w previous Firefox. I'd see error msg "you need to update your Flash, this video won't play".

    The Flash 10 does not launch, Firefox 7 does not recognize this add-on at all. I d/l from Adobe, Flash page:"Installation successful". But Error message still reads "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video." I've even temporarily turned off my antivirus before D/L

    There are two different versions of Flash, the '''''ActiveX''''' version for IE and the '''Plugin''' version used by most other browsers.
    1.Download the Flash Plugin version setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />
