Allow a blocked plug in
I am trying to allow a blocked plug in (Java) on a trusted site. Your directions say that a red Lego-looking icon will appear in the address bar. I do not have this icon. So, how can I allow Java to work on this site?
I have installed the latest version, and done all of the other recommendations.
Yes, it shows in the plugin list as
Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.150.3 10.15.2.3
Could this have something to do with 32 bit or 64 bit versions? I have Windows 7 for 64 bit and Foxfire for 64 bit system. But I think my Java is 32 bit.
Thanks for your help.

Hi afwind,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Do you have another computer that you could try restoring the iPhone on? It looks like you've tried most of the suggestions in the article linked below, which provides tips for resolving the update and restore alerts that you mentioned.
Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"

I have a mac book pro and have already downloaded adobe flash player. However when i go to watch a video it says "Blocked Plug In". But my adobe is already up to date. Can someone help me to fix this so i can watch videos?
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 7. 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If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select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, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
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 6
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 7
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 8
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them. -
I have OS X 10.6.8 with Safari 5.1.10 and am getting a "blocked plug-in" error message. I have already gone into the Safari/preferences/securtiy and the allow all plug-ins has been checked. What can I do to rectify this situation?
Niel, I clicked on the message and tried to download an updated flash player but it would not let me do it! The same error message - blocked plu-in - came up again when I went to step 3 in the download process. My iMac ia an older model 4,1 with power PC could this be causing the problem?

please help with blocked plug ins i have down loaded the latest version of abode several time and am not getting anywhere this seems to be an ongoing problem when i get updates from them
When you download from the Adobe site, despite the button saying “install” — it really doesn't do anything but download the installer.
Quit the Safari browser. Next to the Trash icon on your Dock, is an icon that is an alias to your Downloads folder. Click this icon once. There will be a list of previous downloads that pops up. The file closest to the Dock is the Adobe Flash installer. Click this once to launch it. It will display like this:
Double-click the red flash folder. This produces the following dialog — you select Open.
You will receive a password challenge. Use your Mac OS login password. You next prompt will look like this. Choose the middle selection as I have shown:
The Adobe Flash Player will download and install via a blue progress bar. You will need to click a Finish button, and then Safari launches taking you to the Adobe site to verify Flash Player was installed.
In System Preferences, the bottom panel now has an Adobe Flash Player preference panel. It has an Advanced tab that enables you to check if there are newer releases of Adobe Flash available, and it wil also fetch the installer for you (usually). The System Preferences panel, and Safari must both be closed for Flash Player updates to succeed.
Eject the Adobe Flash Player installer from your Desktop.
Once Flash Player is installed, you may need to open Safari Preferences > Security, and check Internet plug-ins: Allow Plug-ins. Click the Manage Website Settings… button, and then select Adobe Flash Player in the left panel of the pop-up. You want Allow set When visiting other websites. Click Done, and close Safari Preferences. -

I still get blocked plug-ins after downloading latest flash player. Is there a fix for this?
Blocked plug-ins. I've downloaded the latest Adobe Flash player after "Delete all" in the System Preferences\Adobe Flash Player Advanced tab, moved the flash player plug-ins from disabled internet plug-ins to internet plug-ins in the Library folder, allowed all plug-ins in Safari Preferences and in the System preferences. Is there anything I've missed because non of these solutions that I found in the Support Community have solved the issue.

blocked plug ins, how do i stop this?
After installing Flash Player, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44: Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf -
Repeat message - I have downloaded the FlashPlayer upgrade (now 10 times), in Security - no pop-ups are checked, the "allow Java" and "allow other other plug-ins" are both checked. I have re-booted after the Flash-Player upgrades - still "pop=ups blocked"
Hello,
Please provide the following information:
Your operating system & version
Your web browser(s) & version
Your Flash Player version
Explain your problem in step-by-step detail if possible
A direct link to a page that demonstrates the problem
If you get error messages, please quote them exactly, or provide a screenshot: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933

Have Mac10.6.8;getting flash blocked plug in message; how fix?
I have IMAC with Mac 10.6.8; Safari 5.1.10. Have not been using Flash (has been a blocked plug-in for sometime; Apple must have blocked it; not me) as Flash will not work; HTML works fine & allows screens to open; I have both Safari and FireFox on my system; both won't allow Flash to work; knew the plug in was blocked; however, for the FIRST time today, tried to put in a USPS tracking number and entire system greyed out and would not let me input the number I had; earlier today, I entered another USPS tracking number and it worked fine then; This afternoon, I noticed a small message saying "blocked plug in" had not seen before; I tried to follow the directions to update "Shockwave Flash Player" but apparantly went into some kind of "loop". How can I fix this so my system will let me once more do common things safely and get out of the "loop"?
Older versions of Flash have security holes which is why they are blocked. You need to upgrade your Flash - Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.77. You also need:
Apple Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 17
Apple Security Update 2013-004
Be sure you use Software Update to check for any other needed updates. -

I'm receiving a "blocked plug-in" message in Safari
A user in my group has recently upgraded to Mac OS 10.8.4. The user has recently started receiving the following message when logging into workamajig and a few other sites:
"Blocked plug-in"
And no access to the requested site.
I've tried updating Adobe Flash 6, turned off the the "Block all webpages from storing information on this computer" (default setting), and clearing all the cookies and history from Safari. In the past, when workamajig isn't working right, the solution is to clear the cache, but I can't find a ready way in Safari to do that, so I deleted the cookies.
I am using MacOS10.8.4 on my Mac and have been for 5 months and have access to workamjig. I've never received a message about blocked plug-in.
I'm on an iMac (Intel Core 2 Duo) and my co-worker is using a G5 Tower (QuadCore Intel Xeon).
I'm stumped at this point. There's probably something simple that I'm missing. "Reset Safari" maybe?
