Adobe Flash won't work on my iMac! Help! It did before I upgraded to Mavericks!
Adobe Flash won't work on my iMac. It did before I upgraded to Mavericks. What can I do? I've already gone through the help system, chat system.
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. In rare cases, you might have to log out or reboot to force a Flash update to be recognized. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 5.
Step 1
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, sign in to your YouTube account and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 2
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
Step 3
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 4
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 5
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 6
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
Step 7
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.

I just loaded Yosemite on my Mac and now adobe flash won't work in Safari 8.0.4 . Does anyone have a solution ?
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 "blocked plug-in" error, see Step 4.
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 restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...
In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
Delete All Site Data and Settings
then click Delete Data. 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
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
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.

Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins

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. -
Candy crush won't work without the internet but it did before
Candy crush won't work without the internet but it did before
Make sure you have the latest version of QuickTime (7.6.6) installed - if this is missing or out of date there may be no audio output from iTunes (including, but not limited to, playback through Bluetooth devices) or playback may be of poor quality.
Also check iTunes' Play Audio Using setting in Edit > Preferences > Playback (you will have to restart iTunes for any changes to take effect). In most cases selecting Direct Sound addresses playback issues when Windows Audio Session is active (though some users have reported the reverse),
If neither of these solves your problem try installing this alternate version: iTunes 12.1.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards). The "for older video cards" label is a little misleading, as this also fixes some playback issues, QuickTime and Outlook interoperability errors, and problems with other third-party applications. -
Adobe Flash Won't Work With Safari
Just today i found that something is wrong with either youtube, safari or flash player. Whenever I click a video on youtube it gives me this huge wall of text. I don't know if this has occured with anyone else before but please help! its really frustrating and I can't really find any answers online. I even tried restarting and reinstalling flash player and it still won't work. Thanks!
^^^ it looks like that :\theminimalist wrote:

I vote Flash Player.
First uninstall Flash Player according to the instructions here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
Read and follow all the instructions with care.
If you must have Flash Player, install it from this site:

Hi all! I am running Windows XP (32 bit), Internet Explorer 7, Service Pack 3. My flash was working fine til I had to reinstall my operating system yesterday. When I downloaded Adobe Flash 11 it didn't work, so I checked system requirements. My processor speed isn't fast enough because my processor speed is 1.8 Ghz and Adobe Flash needs 2.33 Ghz, so I uninstalled Flash 11 and installed Flash 10.3 then 10.1. Now when I go to youtube it says I need a newer version which I can't get.
I know that Flash is installed correctly because youtube can recognize that I had a version of Adobe Flash. However, when I go to Adobe's website to test for flash it doesn't recognize it, and I went to another website to test and it didn't recognize it either. I find it wierd that it worked until I reinstalled my operating system. The only problem I have with my computer is that I need a driver for my pci simple communications controller. I am working on that right now.
I really hope someone can help me because I can't get on facebook either and my crops are dying on Frontierville. LOL. But seriously, they are dying!
Thanks for any help.DeBrig wrote:

I'm glad you mentioned that your crops are dying because that's a big clue, funny as that may sound. What you need here is the Adobe Shockwave Player which you can download from here: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
It differs from the Flash player in that it's an enhanced version used for games and the like where you have some interaction with the animation.
But I'm also wondering if you might not have disabled your antivirus program before installing Flash. Most of these security apps incorporate all kind of extra scanners which interfere with program installations. What I suggest you do here is to uninstall Flash again using the procedure described in this post which resolved a similar issue for another user yesterday: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4081633#4081633
Disable the AV shields again before you install Shockwave needless to say. -
how do I get adobe flash to work? I've uninstalled then downloaded a Flash it says instll complete and then I still get missing plug-in messages.
Uninstall Flash, reboot, and install new from Adobe.
Uninstall: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
Install: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
If that doesn't fix it, download Chrome from https://www.google.com/chrome . Chrome has an integrated version of Flash, which is a good test to see if Flash is the root issue or not. -
Adobe flash won't work with firefox
why adobe flash 11 does not work with firefox
Maybe someone can help me with a similar issue. I am running Windows 8 64 bit, firefox 23.0.1 on a brand new Asus laptop, 3rd gen Intel I7. I currently have Flas 11.8.x installed and enabled as well as shockwave. Some pages that seem to use Flash, like Google Play, work just fine. However, others do no display any content. They do not display the crash logo (w/ the sad fave lego block), I get only a blank (white or sometimes black) space. If I right clock on this space, I get a greyed out option displaying the message "Flash movie not loaded" and an enabled button that read "About Flashplayer 11.8.x".
For example, Yahoo Fantasy Football draft room will not load, neither will the flash test video at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html. I tooke my computer back to TigerDirect for them to take a look at it, and while the Tech there said he didn't know what to tell me, he also said he was sure it was a software issue. That being said, my GPU is Nvidia geforce GTX 670MX.
I have also tried to run Firefox in compatibility mode in WIndows 7 and XP, and in both these instances, with updated flash, I at leas can get a "Flash Has Crashed" graphic in the instances that flash is not displaying. I have also tried loading flash in IE10, Chrome and Opera to the same issues. If anyone has any help, please let me know. -

I just updated my Apple TV 2 and now it is flashing and not working at all. Help
I just did the update to version 5.2 on our ATV2 and now I'm having the exact same problem as the OP- all attempts to access any iTunes services i.e. Movies or TV result in dropping back to the ATV Main menu. Per Winston's suggestion, I logged out of iTunes and then tried to log back in. I am getting a message "the server is not responding- please try again later".
FWIW- all my non-iTunes services on the ATV are working fine- i.e. Netflix and YouTube.
Sounds like the update has overwhelmed the Apple servers.

Pogo games won't load - cleared cache, uninstalled and reloaded firefox, reloaded plugins, uninstalled and reloaded java, uninstalled and reloaded adobe flash - nothing is working - need NEW suggestions please.
Try doing these steps:
Install Firefox 11 from [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com]. simply install it over your current version of Firefox to make sure all Windows Registry settings get recreated correctly.
Run all Windows Updates. Service packs, etc. You may have to run this several times to ensure that you get all needed updates.
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
After doing all these steps, try restarting your computer, and seeing if Pogo will run.
If it doesn't work, go into your control panel, and uninstall every installation of Java and Flash that you have. Restart your computer again, then install them from [http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_11_plugin_32bit.exe http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_11_plugin_32bit.exe] for Flash, and [http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=62313 http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=62313] for Java. again, restart your PC, then test.
Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works find in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
If it does not help the issue, open up your Firefox Profile. [[Backing up your information|Backing up your information]] shows you where that is stored by default. Delete or rename the "pluginreg.dat" file (make sure Firefox is closed when you do this). Test again. -
Adobe Reader won't load on my iMac.
I can't get Reader to open on my my iMac. I am using system 10.5.8, and every time I download what I think is a newer version of Reader, I get a tiny splash screen that says, “an internal error has occurred.” What version of Reader should I be using?
Hi, and thanks for your very prompt reply to my cry for help.
Yes, I have used Reader for ages. But about the last couple of upgrades
have proven totally unopenable on my Mac.
I get the error message when Reader is trying to open. After I dismiss the
error message, I then get the message that Reader has unaccountably quit.
How do I go about using repair disk utility?

Subject: Adobe Reader won't load on my iMac.
Has Reader ever worked on your machine? You can run the newest version which
is 9.3.
At what point do you get the error? During the download, the install or when
you try and open it after installing it?
Have you ran the repair disk utility?

My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter.
My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter. I also tried the HDMI to DVI adapter ane the Mac-Mini with same result. The monitor does work on my older Macbook Pro that has the DVI connector. Is it a Software/Driver issue ?
Should be extremely simple, please carefully read Connect multiple displays to your Mac. If you still have problems then it's probably a cable issue that would be resolved by replacing the adapter cable. You should be using this adapter. If you are using a third party adapter that might be your problem!

I Already tried that. Even tried uninstall and reinstall! Ialso tried uninstall and reinstall of reader then uninstall and reinstall of flash. There is another display quirk with Lion , if I let my mbp go to sleep without logging out or shutting down, I get the last screen frozen. I have to use the curser to erase the area where the login icon is, then I can enter the login pw and get the mbp to be functional again! There are a number of other display related sizes and parameters that randomly happen since lion was installed. UNSTABLE is a good description here !

Adobe Flash Player not working in Internet Explorer 9
I installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (version 11.7.700.169) and Adobe Flash Player stopped working in Internet Explorer 9. ActiveX filtering is disabled and the Adobe Flash Player add-on is enabled in IE 9. When I try to load the Web page for www.youtube.com, I get a blank screen. Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox work fine - both can display the YouTube Web page. Is there a fix for this?
