Safari doesn't find Flash

Hello,
I try to open a website (www.cousteau.org) but Safari tells me that I must install flash player. But when I watch installed plug-in for safari i saw that flash player has been installed. I don't understand why safari didn't find flash plug-in.
On this forum I found several solutions :
- restaure disk autorizations
- uninstall flash plug-in
the first one did't solve my problem and I am not able to uninstall flash (I am a new mac user and I don't know wher I can delete installed files).
Help is welcome.
Antonin

Welcome to Apple Discussions and Mac Computing
The problem is not with your system or browser. The problem lies with the web developer. Seems the site is not Mac friendly as it does not work on either Safari, Opera, Camino or Firefox on my system. The site message: This site makes use of Flash 5. To experience it the way we intended, you need Macromedia Flash Player 5, a plug-in for your Wed Browser that can play the content we've created. Strange, as Flash is now up to Version 9. Either, something is wrong with the site in general (all platforms are affected), or the coding does not recognize the Mac browsers.
To contact the web developer you will need to access the site on a Windows system. Perhaps, you may encourage them to move up from the ocean depths into the 21st century.

Safari doesn't find Flash Player

I am using MacOS X 10.6.8 on an iMac 2.26 Ghz Intel Core Duo and everytime when I click a videoclip in Safari (5.1.1) that requries a flash player (version 11.0.1.152) I get the message:
" Cannot play media. You do not have the correct version of the flash player."
Here is the spookey thing:
If I launch Firefox instead and click the same clip – no problem!
If I log in on a different user-account on my iMac Flash Player suddenly works in Safari!
I have emptied cache, tried to start in 32.bit version but something is in the way and the problem remains.
Does anyone know how I can solve the problem?

Safari doesn't recognize flash on macbook air

Since upgrading to Mavricks 10.9.2 everytime I go to a website that runs flash I am asked to install. HBOGO, netflix, youtube. It is telling me that I need to download and install the newest version. I've installed it twice, with no luck.
Any advice?

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or reboot before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

After new OS update Safari doesn't recognize Flash Player.

After updating to OS 10.9.4, Safari says "No Flash Player detected" when I try to run several of my web based programs even though I have no problem with the same web based programs when using Firefox. Additionally, this issue only exists when using the administrator account. There is no problem when using my other account set up for my students.

If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.

Step 4
a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
          When visiting other websites
From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources

Safari Can't Find Flash plugin

The following message was displayed when, using Safari 3.2, I went to a page that contained a flash movie:
This page 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 have the latest Shockwave Flash plugin installed and it shows up on Safari's installed plugin list. I used the Uninstaller first as suggested in other threads. Using Firefox, the message does not appear and the video shows up and plays properly.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I'm guessing you mean the second of the 2 videos on that page, which if you can't see it is from ustream.
I think the problem is with the page itself. Looking at the code I see this for the second video:
... type="application/x-shockwave-<br />
flash" /></p>
It should be:
... type="application/x-shockwave-flash" /></p>
If you can, ask the site to correct the page.

Safari doen't find the web page

Hi!
Sometimes safari doesn't find the Internet page even if airport is connected but if i turn off and immediately turn on airport safari works! I have clan chace and restore safari yet but the problem isn't resolved!
Thanks.

HI,
Try restarting your Mac. If that doesn't help, try turning OFF Airport from the Status Menu Bar, wait a minute then turn it back ON.
If you have a cable modem with an Ethernet cable connected to a router or Airport BS or Airport Express, try resetting the modem by disconnecting it from it's power source for 20 seconds then reconnect it.
If that doesn't help, try changing the Airport channel.
Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a computer using Mac OS X.
Select the device you’re setting up, and then click Manual Setup. Enter the base station password if necessary
Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
Choose a new channel from the Channel pop-up menu.

Trying to download some adobe files, but find that safari doesn't do it. Any ideas??

Trying to download some adobe files, but find that safari doesn't do it. Any ideas??

If you are trying to download flash player then you can't - it's not supported and probably never will be (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ and Adobe have failed to create a version that works on iOS), and you can't download extensions/plug-ins via Safari anyway (you can only install what is available in the App Store).
The Skyfire, iSwifter, and Puffin browsers work on some flash-based sites (but not judging by their reviews), or you could look to see if the sites have their own apps in the store.

I've lost Safari on my iPhone 4s and it doesn't find it when I search either, can anyone help?

I've lost Safari on my iPhone 4s and it doesn't find it when I search either, can anyone help? I'm on os6. Thanks Markreds.

Hey, how good are you! I changed restrictions for Cyclemeter and somehow, obviously my fault, Safari was on 'off', I haven't got a clue how, but now its solved and working, thanks alot!

Safari can't find the Internet plug-in. (Flash Player)

I am getting a constant annoying notification in Safari saying that Flash isnt installed. I have reinstalled it 3 times. I have even run the uninstaller and then reinstalled. I have restarted after each attempt. I have even dumped the safari plist. Flash is working fine in firefox. Why wont safari link up with the installed plugin?
Safari : 4.0.4
Flash : 10.0.42.34

HI Brian,
Try maintenance and see if that helps...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
If you have Safari 3rd party plugins or Input Managers, they may not be compatible with 10.6 or Flash. Go here for trouble shooting. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
If you are running Safari in 64 bit mode, try running in 32-bit mode instead. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. *Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*

Safari can't find Plug-ins

I'm hoping someone here can help with this because as usual, Apple Support was completely worthless when I called.
This is not the usual Safari Can't find the Internet plug-in - MIME type problem that is prevalent in help forums.
Within the last couple of days, Safari became unable to use any of the plug-ins in the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins or /Users/***/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folders. When I go to Help>Installed Plug-ins, I get a BLANK page - no Java, no NOTHING, completely blank.
Within the last 2 days, I have uninstalled then downloaded and installed the newest versions of Flash Player, Shockwave, Safari 4.0.4 and Flip4Mac WMV Player. Also uninstalled and re-installed Quicktime Pro. Still, the Installed Plug-ins page is blank.
Firefox is able to access at least some of the plug-ins and seems to be functioning normally, although It won't play the video on this page http://www.taoeffect.com/espionage/.
I've Googled for an answer and searched these forums. I've found threads that sounded similar to my issue, but were not exactly the same. I did find this page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1966?viewlocale=en_US) but its advice didn't work for me and it doesn't mention a blank Installed Plug-ins page.
What would make Safari unable to locate the plug-ins folder?
Recently I used an app to slim my Apps folder, deleting universal binaries and extra languages. Don't know if that's in any way related - shouldn't be - I've done it before with no ill effects, but it was about the same time this problem began.
Before you ask, YES I do have the Enable plug-ins box checked in Preferences.

Ratus B.V, you;'re my new hero!
I had changed my Java to 64-bit only. Never noticed any problems after doing that-it's been several weeks, I think.
After reading your message, I opened Java Preferences, clicked both *Restore Defaults* buttons, restarted Safari, and the problem was GONE!
This just reinforces how pathetic Apple Support is: Such a simple solution, and they had me uninstalling and re-installing Safari and sending in my system information for them to analyze.
This rep. (Jesse) said he was a Level 2 rep., and he went and talked to some other Level 2 reps, and no one had an answer. He emailed me their Data Capture Tool, which I was supposed to run and send the results back for analysis by an engineer. Already ran the app, but now I don't need to bother sending the results. Last time I used their tool I never received an answer back anyway.
THANKS A LOT!
Points headed your way.

Safari doesn't open properly at startup

Hi everybody,
I've been browsing the forum a bit, but didn't find an answer to my question. Here it goes:
I have Safari added in my dock, and I marked it as 'open after login'. The same for Mail. When my mac has started up my Mail indeed opens, but Safari doesn't. To be more concrete, I see the 'topbar' opening but no actual screen opens. Mail however works perfectly.
Maybe this is a very small setting or such, but I can't seem to find it.
Could someone please help me with this one?
Thanks!
pytur

I see the 'topbar' opening but no actual screen opens
Make sure Safari is in the list in System Preferences > Accounts - Login Items
If it's there and you are only seeing the "topbar" when Safari opens, could be a third party Safari add on that's preventing Safari from loading the GUI and pages.

Safari can't find the server.

I updated to Ilife08....I went to iweb and added some pages to the site....i published the pages...I got the announce your site message...I did that....I then went to visit site and I got Safari can’t find the server.Safari can’t open the page “http://www.michaelcarlucci.com/Mickeyt” because it can’t find the server “www.michaelcarlucci.com”. I have tried everything and I cant publish anything...I tried adding a site and copying the old pages to it...that did not work...I tried changing the site name ...that didn't work....when I open Iweb...everthing is there...but when i go to publish...it will do everthing and send me the announce and visit...but when i go to visit...i still get the same message...+*ok...I give up....*+and to top it all off the pictures look aweful...they are super saturated in reds....so what i want to do is throw it all out and start over...and hopefully it will get me back to where I began...I copied everything in the site folder and put it in a file on my desk top....but this was after I had all the trouble...everythingseems to be there though...but I am not sure if I would know if anything is missing....the domain was changed from domain to domain 2...so I guess the up grade worked....
How do I throw the site away....delete everything and then start from scratch? I must have done something but I couldn't tell you what I did...I've read everything on these forums and have spent two days and a night trying to fix it...

well i bet that is a good guess....I did go there and change the name....and it has not been 48 hours yet...the only problem is that I have now published to file on my desktop.....and it worked from there....Then I published all to .mac.....i got the anounce and visit pop up...when i went to visit....it doesn't work....but when I went to the site from my file I copied the address on the web page....which is http://web.mac.com/micluc/MichaelTrower_Carlucci/Welcome1.html.....I bookmarked it and just for the heck of it I went to the last page on digital painting and changed to photos with push pins....I then published....I still get the message from the visit....but when I drop in http://web.mac.com/micluc/MichaelTrower_Carlucci/Welcome1.html... the changes where there and everything is working...have I fixed it...or have I just made it possible for me to get there....and it is actually not the right way as I can't visit the site from Iweb itself....so when the 48 hours is up and new DNS settings show up...will i be in the same mess? thank you for helping me with this...

Safari doesn't show Youtube and Yahoo websites.

I just bought a Macbook Pro a few days ago, and I have a problem since day one. Safari doesn't work with Yahoo Mail or Youtube. I always get a blank page.
When I open other sites like www.real.com the pages show text but no images. Can anyone help me?

For YouTube, you need to install Adobe Flash Player.

Help Please. OS 10.5, Safari 5.0.6, Flash and Java

Hi.
I am very frustrated right now. A few days ago, I upgraded my MacPro to OS 10.5 . Everything seemed to be working fine until all of a sudden a fe days ago.
Now Flash and Java don't work.
I get an error message saying missing plug-in. So I went to the adobe page to download the latest version. The only thing that would happen on that page is the banner in the middle frame disappeared and nothing would download using Safari. I opened Firefox and it was able to download it. I ran the uninstaller, then installed the newests version, 10.??? (Newest on allowed on my computer)
I rebooted the computer to be safe and opened Safari and still no flash, same message. It works fine in Firefox and Seamonkey, just not safari. I checked for plug-ins and it doesn't show up.   It IS in the OS preference, but there is nothing I can see to do.
Flash makes way to many things work to just ignore it. Please help.
I have repeated this step more than once to no avail.
Secondly, Java. Java is not installed anymore. It WAS and I was having a problem with the window opening and staying open. I adjusted a setting not to open the window, then it stopped completely.   I backtracked and undid the do not open window and still doesn't work.
I found a Java testing page and this is what I was given - "The page “Java Tester - Is Java Enabled?” attempted to load Java content, but Java is unavailable or not installed."
I am now downloading Java again from the apple page, 1.6.0_33. However, one poster said not to use it at all. It's difficult to do many things with no Java at all.
Please advise.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Now, follow my standard upgrading advice:
Get a bootable, external HD (preferably FireWire, since it's 40-50% faster than USB 2 and designed for data transfers), make a bootable backup/clone before updating/upgrading, and ensure that it's bootable and works like the original. That allows you to revert to the previous good state without having to reinstall or reset anything. See these for details:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106941
http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/installswupdates.html
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/backuprecovery.html
If you only have a Time Machine backup, ensure that you can reliably restore it to another disk/volume/partition before updating/upgrading.

Safari will not display flash sites

safari will not display flash sites? Instead it will show a small box that says "flash" and once you click on it, it then displays the flash site!!
Any ideas as to why this is happening?
I am running .....
Vendor: Oracle Corporation
Version: Java SE 7 Update 25
and
Flash Player: 11.8.800.94

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.
