Adobe Flash Hardware (Camera) Issues

First of all, I love Lion.  I can already measure the difference it makes in my daily goings about.  It's great.
Now:  the Powerbook built-in camera usually turns on for web-based, flash-based video services after clicking through the settings window to give permission.  It is well known that Lion broke that settings window (or that the window was not sufficiently updated to work with Lion...), but Adobe's update was supposed to have fixed the problem.  But I can't get the settings to respond to mouse-clicks, and adding a web site in the system preferences window for Flash doesn't make any difference.  I simply can't get the built-in camera to turn on.  Am I missing something?  I un-installed flash and reinstalled the update, I restarted the powerbook...nothing.

I don't really have a solution, but I can tell you that it happened to other people, too.
There was a thread that I lost where someone had the same problem. I searched and couldn't find it, but I found this:

  • A mic doesn't work. Adobe Flash Player camera and microphone exceptions are different. Please, help!

    Hello!
    The trouble began in Google Hangouts on Air. When I'm in conference room I read that my mic doesn't work. I checked settings, chose "default" one time and my microphone name another time. Both variants don't help. On the right end of an address bar I read this message: "this page has been blocked from accessing your camera and microphone". I clicked it, chose "Allow", after reloading the problem returns. Then I went to Chrome exceptions and allowed my mic on the site.
    In Chrome exceptions menu I read this: "Adobe Flash Player camera and microphone exceptions are different". Though I chose "Allow" in Chrome I can't do it Fllash Player. I did all the instructions which are given to solve audio problems, but it didn’t help. I also wanted to allow excess for my mic on “Website Privacy Settings Panel”, but I can’t find https://plus.google.com in the list to allow (attach a screenshot). I’m out of ideas what else to do. Please, help!

  • ADOBE FLASH PLAYER UNINSTALL ISSUE- FEB 2015

    POSTED FEB 2 2015
    hello fellow mac users -  I have an adobe flash player question...
    I am sure everyone is aware of the adobe flash player vulnerability that came out late January 2015.   Initially when I saw that, I promptly removed flash player on my machine and installed the new version 16.0.0.287.    A day later when I started my machine,  I saw a Flash Player message indicating I have to download again.  I googled and found out Adobe actually only partially fixed the vulnerability.
    Exasperated, I decided to say bye-bye to Adobe Flash for good by uninstalling Flash Player.   After uninstalling, I went to Youtube and played a video - it shows that its using HTML5 codec to play the video - so far, so good.
    The issue I am having is that since I uninstalled the Flash Player, whenever I start up my machine I am getting this "Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller" pop up window.  
    The first time I saw it, I clicked on UNINSTALL button and it will say "Adobe Flash Player was removed".   But every day when I start up my machine, it still shows this pop up message and its driving me bonkers.
    is there a way to remove or prevent this pop-up from showing up?   BTW I checked my machine's preferences and Adobe Flash Player is no longer listed.
    BTW I have a iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011), Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    Thanks for your input in advance.  

    RESOLVED - Feb 3 2015
    I believe I have found the issue and resolution on that pesky Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller - thought i'd share in case this would help someone.
    Since that f***ing  Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller pops up each time I start up the machine, I thought I should check the "startup" items in my Mac machine.  So I did my research and I did the following steps:
    1. Click on Mac > System Preferences
    2. Select Users and Groups
    3. User and Groups window pops up - On the right pane you'll see "Password" and "Login Items" items - click on "Login Items".
    On the Login items - I did see 'Adobe Flash Player Installer' - apparently this triggers the Uninstaller instead of Installer - but whatever - I have banned Flash Player from my Mac so I highlight this item on the Login Items list, and click on the minus sign button - it removed the Adobe Flash Player Installer from the Login Items list.    Then I restarted my machine - and voila -  NO MORE PESKY Adobe Flash Player uninstaller pop-ups!!!! Hurrah!!!
    Again this might help specifically for those who want to BAN Adobe Flash Player from their machines and are seeing the Adobe Flash Player Installer / Uninstaller every time they start up their machine.  Apparently this is not a widespread problem but it still does happen.  Good luck y'all and say goodbye to Adobe Flash Player (sorry Adobe, but I do still love your core products like Lightroom and Photoshop).  Adobe should not have bought Macromedia (who originally developed Flash and Shockwave) years back but who would have known Flash would be such a headache (no thanks to cybercriminals)...

    Hi Fireseed,
    Please do the following:
    Ensure you have the latest version installed:
    Launch Firefox and go to Adobe - Flash Player
    There is a widget on the page that lists the version installed, and a table listing the latest versions for each OS and browser.If you don't have the latest version, Firefox will block Flash from displaying.
    If it is installed, and you have the latest version, ensure Flash is enabled:
    Launch Firefox and go to https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/enabling-flash-player-firefox.html
    Follow instructions for verifying Flash Player is enabled
    If it is installed, and you have the latest version, Ensure JavaScript is enabled: JavaScript settings and preferences for interactive web pages | Firefox Help

  • Mac Safari "Adobe Flash Player Security" issue

    Using Captivate 5.5 for Mac. I've been having sporadic problems viewing my published .htm files in Safari. I always get the "Adobe Flash Player Security" popup on initial load, but before today I could usually just click OK and refresh the browser window to play the Flash content. Today I can no longer view the content in Safari. (Firefox plays the content fine.)
    The popup says "To let this application comminicate with the Internet, click "Settings". When I click Settings, my Mac OS Flash preference dialog opens. But the only options available are "Local Storage Settings", "Camera and Mic", "Playback" (which pertains to peer-assisted networking, not local playback), and "Advanced" (which only allows you to delete local files). Just for experimentation, I tried adding my local path as an allowed site in "Local Storage Settings" but it doesn't have any effect.
    I don't have any other problems using regular Flash-based websites in Safari. Only my published Captivate files spawn this security popup.
    How do I fix this?

    It worked! Thank you. (Actually, I used the related URL for "Global security settings for content creators" (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04a.ht ml#119065) since that URL is intended for local development/testing, whereas the link you provided is for sites on the Web.)
    But I'm curious. . .  according to Adobe (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html), "Beginning with Flash Player 10.3, the Local Settings Manager supersedes this Online Settings Manager for managing global settings on Windows, Mac, and Linux computers." Yet the page goes on to explain when one would use the online Global Settings. This is very confusing. If the local Settings Manager supercedes the online manager, why would the online manager still be required for certain uses? And why isn't a link to the Global Settings manager provided within the local Settings manager. What am I not understanding?

  • Adobe Flash player - Gameranger Issue

    Hello!
    I have an issue with Gameranger (a program simillar to steam). Please take some time and help me somehow, because I have absolutely no idea what more can I do, trying to solve it. I tried almost everything (reinstalling...) googled for it, found nothing useful. So it seems it is more serious and uncommon issue.
    I have been using Gameranger since 2011. I remeber that I uninstalled it because I thought I am not goin to use it anymore. But  few months ago I installed  it again. It does not woek on my computer since than.
    The problem is, I cant run Gameranger.  When I launch it, it says:
    Gameranger: Flash Player Needs Updating.
    Your adobe Flash player web plug-in is Version 1 and needs to
    be updated to the latest version for security fixes.
    Download and run the update from Adobe´s site.
    So when I click OK I am automaticly transferd to Adobe´s Flash Player download site where I follow the instructions and install it.
    So far, so good. But the problem is that nothing happens after installing proces. The same massage again. And I tried to reinstall Gameranger, reinstall Adobe Flash with Mozila Firefox and Internet Explorer but in vain. It happens the sime and it really angers me. Everything works fine in both browsers, but with Gameranger Adobe Flash Player is obviously not recognised.
    I googled for it but nothing really useful. That is the only solution that I thought it is useful:
    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090214162616AAUg8bI
    It mentions that GR needs Adobe Active-X and also Adobe Flash Playerto to be installed with IE. So i did. NO DIFFERENCE!? Same stupid massage again: Flash player needs updating, Flash Player needs updating... Arrgh ...You have no idea how meany times i have reinstalled the latest version of Adobe Flash player.
    So please help me bacuse I am running out of ideas, what can I do in purpose of solving this annoying problem. I would also like to say that I am not some kind of experts for these things (I had no problem with Adobe Flash Player in past) and maybe there is just a little trick I dont know, or maybe I am doing something work.
    Thank you!

    That's a 100% a GR problem. Here's what it is.
    GR, like a lot of websites, uses a detection script to determine the presence and version of Flash Player. A lot of older websites haven't updated their scripts in a while and GR is the same way. Older "detection" scripts are based on a one (1) digit version number for Flash Player. 1 is 1, 2 is 2... 9 is 9... BUT  10 is 1 again, and so is 11, 12, or 13 according to the detection script.  I'm pretty sure you still had version 9 when you installed it, but have since updated to a 2 digit version, and that's what's causing this.
    Since the message you're seeing specifically mentions version number and NOT a missing Flash Player, it can't be that you needed ActiveX and didn't have it. You DID and do, and a version higher that 9, but GR's script can't detect a two digit version of Flash Player.
    You can try a "clean install" of Flash Player (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4041846), but since the problem comes from GR... I don't think it'll help.

    Hello,
    This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
    If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
    Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer, OR
    Download the stand-alone installer posted at the bottom of the http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
    If the behaviour reproduces, please clear the browser's cache and try downloading again.
    Thank you.

  • Adobe Flash 11.3 issue

    When can we expect a fix for Adobe Flash Player 11.3 issues?  I have no sound for online videos on my system since this update, (Windows Vista, 32 bit, Explorer).  Is there a possiblity that you could get us the previous version link in the meantime?

    I implemented all the disabling of Real Player that is recommended in the support.mozilla article and it worked for me - flash objects are no longer just white rectangles or circles and are now visible with their content. But of course then Real Player is dead for use with Firefox.

    So far as I know (not that I know much!) there wouldn't be
    anything in the
    new Flash beta player to fix this. You will get better
    results, however, if
    you reduce the quality settings for your published files.
    Doing so should
    reduce the published file size, making better use of limited
    network
    resources.

  • Adobe Flash NTLM Authentication Issue

    This problem is having a major impact for many users in my account.
    The users are testing streaming course ware delivery over the Internet and also hitting the proxy re-login prompt.
    The problem with them is that after re-logging in the course restarts at the beginning.
    So it is not a fit for purpose environment for this application currently.
    The same problem occurs for companies webcast through Internet.
    Recent test with the users have confirm the issue occurs using the following version of flash:
    Adobe Flash Player ActiveX 11.1.102.55
    Adobe Flash Player ActiveX 11.1.102.62
    The Shockwave Flash NTLM authentication issue is characterised by the following packet sequence: WS sends Request to Server. Server closes the TCP connection without a response to the request. The WS establishes a new TCP connection and resend the request with previous NTLM Authentication details (ie does not go through the correct NTLM handshake for proxy authentication failure and the browser to pop for user credentials.
    When the above occurs,
    NTLM authentication screen popup up, entering credential again didn’t resume video. I had to reload the page to resume video from the beginning.
    No popup, but the video resumes from the beginning when there was a prolonged delay.
    The problem occurs on Windows XP SP3 with IE7 or IE8 with Flash Player 11.1.102.62
    Is the problem a known issue with Adobe Flash Player ?

    Hello,
    The bug report states can not reproduce. I understand the problem and am happy to help Adobe understand if they want to email me and organise a webex.
    The problem is associated with the way IE handles NTLM on a new connection. When performing a POST request, it will make two requests: the first contains a type1 NTLM token and no body, and the second will contain the type 3 token and the body. It does this because it expects to perform NTLM authentication as NTLM is connection not session based, and hence for efficiency, it doesn't send the POST body on the first request (knowing a second request will be required).
    The POST request initiated by the Flash application is only made once, so it presents a POST request and no body with the type 1 token to the web server (ie IIS, or some Java implementation such as SSO Plugin), and does not make a second request with a type 3 token and the body. It gives up and automatically prompts the user for a username/password, which is the wrong behaviour when the browser is in the Local Intranet zone and the web server responded with a type 2 token.
    I can reproduce this easily and it is a serious bug: it means that any Flash application that is accessed via Integrated Windows Authentication and IE will fail when trying to make a POST request, such as uploading a file from the user.

  • Adobe Flash 11 Installation issues

    Hello,
    I have been trying to install and use Adobe Flash for the last couple of days with no sucess.  I have trolled through the forum to try and find the answer but have come up empty.  Here is the sympton:
    I install Adobe Flash 11 and when I try to use a site that requires Adobe Flash, the site asks me to download Adobe. It was working perfectly and I noticed the other day that is just stopped.
    Here's my configuration:
    Windows 7
    IE 9
    Steps already taken:
    Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Uninstaller:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for IE- use the EXE Installer
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    Close all browser windows, you only want to be looking at your Desktop.
    Disable any messenger services, as yahoo, msn, etc in the system tray(area near the clock)
    Be sure to use the Administrator Account.
    Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
    Now go to the Flash SysWOW64 location and make sure there are no Flash files other than a text doc. If there are Flash Files there, Run the Uninstaller again & recheck. You want all Flash files removed before running the Installer.If you have to Run the Uninstaller again, then Reboot again.
    Run the Installer for IE, and when finished, Reboot.
    Then go to this test site and test each browser:
