Adobe will not Play in Safari

Tried to play "You Tube" today. Say to install lastest version. The lastest version is on the mac.

     Press the "Delete All" button
     Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Quit Safari.
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2. Enable Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Web Content: > "Enable Plug-ins".
       or
    Internet Plug-ins > "Allow all other plug-ins
3. Check whether you are currently in YouTube HTML 5 trial.
     http://www.youtube.com/html5
    At the bottom left of the page uncheck the box beside
   "You are currently in the HTML5 trial".
4. Reset Safari.
    Click Safari in the menu bar.
    From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
    Uncheck the boxes next to all items.
    Check the box next to "Remove all website data".
    Click "Reset".
5. Turn off Extensions, if any.

     Now try YouTube.
Best.

Hi, I uploaded some flv videos to my blog and can see it fine on my G5, my the videos will not play in Safari on my iPhone iOS4. Anyone know how to fix this?

I've also tried m4v and avi files. Is there another file format that will work?

Videos (of any kind) will not play in Safari

Okay, this has been bugging me for about two months now! Videos of any format will not play in Safari. Anything flash (Youtube for example) OR anything Quicktime (mpg, avi, mov, mp4) refuses to even show up when I try to view them. I go to a Youtube page and the whole page loads except for where the video should be...it's just not there at all. Same with Quicktime. If I go to say the HD Trailer for a movie, the three different sizes (480 720 1080) buttons do not even show up (because they are mini Quicktime things)!!
What I have tried to solve this with: I have updated Flash, uninstalled/reinstalled Flash, updated Quicktime, have Mac OS X up to date...but nothing works. These files play fine on just plain Quicktime player (ie I downloaded them) or in FIREFOX, but not in Safari.
BTW: I am using Safari 2, not 3. Also, WMVs actually will play sometimes, but not imbedded, only if you click like www.example.com/movie.wmv
Any help? I'm running an Intel Macbook Pro

Hello Shad:
Have you downloaded and installed Flip4Mac?

My adobe will not play

my adobe will not play, have installed twice already

What is "my adobe"??? Adobe is a company with hundreds of different software products; what program do you mean? Obviously not Adobe Reader; it does not "play" anything.
Also, please provide your operating system details.

I have a MAC running Maverick. MP3 sounds will not play in Safari or FireFox, but will play if you download the file locally to the Desktop. How to resolve this?

I have a MAC running Maverick. MP3 sounds will not play in Safari or FireFox, but will play if you download the file locally to the Desktop. How to resolve this?

You probably have an internet plugin installed that is preventing the MP3s from playing. I just checked a site with an MP3, and it played, rather than downloaded.
The internet plugin folders are at:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins and
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
(~/Library is hidden by default. Let me know if you don't know how to access it.)
My internet plugins were all in /Library; there were none in ~/Library.
Try moving these folders to the desktop (don't delete them), restarting, and then seeing if the MP3s play.
They it will be trial and error to see which plugin is responsible.

Videos and Music will not play using Safari or Chrome

I have tried every trouble shooting option I can find on the internet. Nothing is working. Adobe is fully updated. Safari is fully updated. Chrome is fully updated. Videos will not play on websties such as CNN, CBC. Music will not play on websites such as Sound Cloud.
YouTube and Netflix work fine.

You're dealing with two different plug-ins.
Flash Player (Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/Flash Player.plugin)
and "PepperFlash" (Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/Versions/34.0.1847.116/Google Chrome Framework.framework/Internet Plug-Ins/PepperFlash/PepperFlashPlayer.plugin)
And NetFlix uses the Microsoft SilverLight plug-in.
From SoundCloud support:
Why can't I hear tracks using Safari?
If you can't hear tracks on SoundCloud using Safari, please go to Safari ---> Preferences ---> Advanced ---> and un-check "Stop plugins to save power." Like this:
If YouTube works, it may be doing so in HTML5 mode which requires no plug-in. Do you use Apple's Firewall or (please say you don't) anti-virus?

Videos will not play in Safari

I have an iPhone 3GS on the 3.1.2 OS, and cannot get videos to play in Safari. I've tried watching videos on ESPN's mobile site, as well as the TV Ads for the iPhone on Apple's website, and all that shows up is a screen full of code. Any assistance is much appreciated.

The iPhone will only play H264/Quicktime video and you're trying to watch Flash based video which is not supported. But just check the javascript option is ticked in the safari options.
There is no workaround.
If you search the forum for 'flash' you will see plenty of threads on the subject. Flash will probably never be supported for the reasons therein - plenty to read up.

Videos will not play in safari either quicktime question mark of nothing

Hi everyone,
Initially I had an issue with Quicktime videos in Safari. - They would not play, all I got was a question mark infront of the video. Looking on these forums, appartently unchecking the misc. settings in MIME in QT preferences helps. Anoyingly I cannot actually uncheck those preferences, the mac won't let me. also, after reinstalling the flash update, and restarting etc, now all I get when I go to apple.com/trailers and try to play a video is the QT playback bar, but nothing else. It just stays there and does nothing. I am on broadband so speed is not an issue. how can I fix my issue? Thanks, Adam.

Hello to everyone! Sorry if I seem to be straying off topic. There are several related threads in this forum, the Safari 3 beta forum and also the Quicktime forum.
I have this problem as well - on my PowerBook G4, but not on my PowerMac G5... Specifically, in Safari on the Apple Special Event August 2007 page where we look for Steve to intro the new iMac, I see no button to push to display the stream. Just after the last word in the paragraph that the Play button should be under, there is a small active area that will bring up the stream on its web page (an invisible button), but when that happens, there is only the audio content. I have not tried the movie trailers, but these problems sound identical. So, this looks like several related symptoms - may be several problems or only one.
Everything works normally in FireFox.
Moving the HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/QuickTime Plugin.webplugin file to the desktop fixes this problem in Safari, but induces several other problems.
I have MacOSX 10.4.10 up to date, Quicktime 7.2.0, Safari 2.0.4 (419.3). DIVX web player 1.3.1 (p/o 6.6 package), Flash 9.0.47, etc... I have upgraded from many, many versions of Mac-OSX to the present.
I recently installed i-Life '08 on both computers.
I repaired permissions and sucecssfully verified my disk - no impact regarding this problem.
I reinstalled Quicktime - no resolution.
I am a knowledgable user - not expert, but quite knowledgable - I suspect that there is an internet plug-in conflict. Someone elsewhere in the discussion forum (Quicktime area, I think) also ventured that guess.
Here are my internet plug-ins for the problem PowerBook G4:
QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
Quartz Composer.webplugin
JavaPluginCocoa.bundle
Java Applet.plugin
RealPlayer Plugin.plugin
npUpload.xpt
iPhotoPhotocast.plugin
VerifiedDownloadPlugin.plugin
npdivx.xpt
Windows Media Plugin
Disabled Plug-Ins
AdobePDFViewer.plugin
flashplayer.xpt
Flash Player.plugin
QuickTime Plugin.plugin
Java Applet Plugin Enabler
ContentUploaderPlugin.plugin
nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
DivXBrowserPlugin.plugin
NP-PPC-Dir-Shockwave
DRM Plugin.bundle
Don't know why the order is like it is - I displayed my directory, selected all and copied and pasted to get this list - sorting by date or name didn't alter the order of this list (hmmm - something to ponder on a dull day!).
I will post the plug-in list for my desktop that works correctly on Tuesday when I am back at the office.
That is all I know on this issue. Hope someone sees something useful here to help get to the bottom of this.

Videos will not play in Safari on 2012 MacBook Pro.

I watch a fair amount of YouTube videos and also videos on news sites, but suddenly videos will no longer play. I bought my laptop about a month ago. This has happened once already. I had to download the uninstaller for Adobe and then reinstall to fix it. Is this something I'm going have to do on a monthly basis? I tried watching the videos in Firefox, and it works just fine. Is there something going on that will allow me to fix this and not have to continuously uninstall and reinstall Adobe? (I have checked my computer for updates, but it says there are none. And unless Adobe has released a newer version in the past 15 days, I have the newest version). Thanks!

I'm having the same problem. It is affecting both of my iPads and my iPhone 4S.

UniVision videos will not play in Safari (iMac)

The videos play on my iPad2 but not on my iMac.
I tried the usual - disabled all extensions, allowed cookies, enabled javascript- to no avail. I keep getting the endless rotating 'gear'. Flash videos work perfectly everywhere except on the UniVision site.
The site itself says to sign in with the TV provider (in my case DishTV) with no suggestions on how to do that. Although the site is very clear that I do not have to register with UniVision to watch videos, I registered anyway through Facebook and logged in but still no videos. It seems that signing in with the provider is different than registering.
Of course, I called DishTV and there is no way to sign in through DishTV.
I get UniVision as part of my package with DishTV.
I am on 10.8.5 Mountain Lion. All up to date with everything inluding the latest Flash. I do not have or want another browser other than Safari.
Thanks!
Note: This is a repost to now the correct site - sorry

Update:
I spoke to a senior Apple tech and we tried everything - still no video playing. At his request, I downloaded Chrome and the videos work perfectly.
So far, the videos play on Apple tech's iMac, my iPad2, with Chrome on my iMac, and my old MacBook with 10.7.5.
This narrows the problem to Safari. Unfortunately, Apple's computers are still on 10.8.4 so we do not know if the problem is with the 10.8.5 update or with my computer. (My 10.8.5 update was a Combo update)
As soon as Apple upates their own computers to 10.8.5, the tech will call me.

Streaming video will not play in Safari

When I get to a website with streaming video (and some ad banners, etc) a Quicktime symbol with a question mark appears in the video place holder. I've downloaded the newest version of the Quicktime plug-in and checked all my settings. I don't remember doing anything specific to change any of my settings. HELP! Thanks.
Mark

I answered my own question. If you go to System Prefs, Quicktime, Advanced, MIME Settings and at the bottom, ensure the Miscellaneous box is not checked (it will have a dash in the box). This will allow FlashPlayer to play the movies since most content is built for FP. QT will only support up to FP v5 and FP is now on v9. Hope this helps someone.

Quicktime will not play in safari

When I try to play quicktime video from a website in Safari, I get the message plugin failure. I have checked that the quicktime plugin is installed, restarted my computer. Any suggestions?

does the plug-in show in Safari - Help - Installed Plug-Ins ?
a sample site where this happens ?

You Tube will not play in Safari 3.0.4

I am not able to watch You Tube videos in their entirety 95% of the time. Occasionally, I have been able to view a complete video, but most of the time I can only watch 5-10 seconds before the video stops. I have tried emptying the cache, but this makes no difference. I have had this problem with 3 different ISP's, so that does not seem to be the problem either. I have a decent DSL connection right now. Is this common, or is anyone else able to consistently view You Tube without any problems?

Ah, alright. Not as dire as it could be then. For starers, try quitting Safari and trashing the contents of your cache folder, ~/Library/Caches/Safari/. Also, if you're not particularly attached to browser history, also trash the file, ~/Library/Safari/History.plist.

Hi Terry, What version of Flash Player are you using? You should be able to tell by going to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Does it happen in browsers? Could you test in Safari, Firefox and Chrome? What happens when you try to play them? Is it possible to post a screen shot? Thanks, -Dave

TVNZ will not play video in safari

TVNZ On Demand says I need to load the latest Adobe Flash Player and will not play video in Safari.
The same applies for TV3 On Demand in Safari.
I definitely have the latest loaded - Plug-in version 11.9.900.117 is installed
The same problem does NOT occur within Mozilla Firefox.
It also does not happen on my older iMac - with OSX 10.2 installed.
Safari settings:
Solution please ?

Video will not work in Safari on You Tube or CNN.com or BBC.co.uk, or any other site
Cannot play media. You do not have the correct version of the flash player. Download the correct version
No problem with any of those sites within Firefox !!
