Found this info recently, try this:
Note for IT / Tech Support staff: If you are in a Windows domain login environment, such as a workplace network, there could be a conflict with the location of the Desktop directory. Some users have reported success by creating an empty folder named "Desktop" in their home directories (so if you already have a "Desktop" folder in your home directory, this probably will not help).
In explorer, go to your home directory location:
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\WINDOWS-USERNAME\
Vista: C:\Users\WINDOWS-USERNAME\
Create a new folder named "Desktop" in that location. Then try enabling Flash Local Storage again, as above.

  • "Allow Third-Party Flash Content to Store" possible as a Linux user?

    Hello,
    is it possible to activative the option "Allow Third-Party
    Flash Content to Store" on the "Global Storage Settings" panel if
    you are starting a webbrowser as a normal user under Linux? At the
    moment it is only possible for me if I start my Firefox (or Opera,
    Konqueror) with root priviileges. Do I have to change the rights of
    a certain folder or something like that?
    The reason why I ask is that I noticed that you can activate
    sound in YouTube Videos only if you activate Flash Cookies.
    My Flash Player version is the current one, version 9. I use
    Kubuntu 7.10, if it is of any importance.
    Thanks for any help

    OK, I solved it. There is a hidden .macromedia folder in the
    home folder, where the youtube sound settings are stored.
    Everything in the macromedia folder was set as root. I simply
    deleted the .macromedia folder, it was recreated with user rights
    when I came back to youtube.

  • Not seeing "allow third-party Flash content to store..." in Flash 10.0.45.2

    Hi,
    I just upgraded to Flash player 10.0.45.2. I would like to review and choose my privacy settings.
    When I go to the Settings manager through the online interface, I do not see the "Allow thrid-party Flash content to store..." as expected and as described in
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/546/4c68e546.html
    Instead, I see
    I want to set up my settings to allow to store information from the original domain, but NOT from third-party domains, how do I do this?
    The first choice is in French and says :
    'Allow Flash content to store information on your computer". There is no reference whatsoever to "third-party" information.
    Is this normal? Is this a translation mistake? Does the first choice there apply to ALL information (so-called Flash cookies), from the originated domain AND from the third-party domains?
    Second question: I can't seem to find how to see the Settings manager in English...
    I am using Firefox, but I tried with Opera, and the Settings manager looked the same: no choice for "third-party" thinsg either.
    My OS is Windows XP SP2 (French), but all my browsers are English, so I'd like to see the Flash settings in English, too.
    Thanks for any help, I really want to block the third-party cookies, but not the others.

    Hi again,
    Thanks for your time... but I'm still stuck.
    The Language problem
    I CAN change the language settings for the Global site, but the Flash Player settings 'live" window is ALWAYS in French, no matter what I do and which language I choose.
    The Third-Party Settings problem:
    As you said:
    In English, the choices are:
    Never ask again
    Allow third party content to store data on your computer
    Store common Flash components to reduce download times
    In French, the choices are:
    Ne plus demander (This is a correct translation of "Never ask again")
    Autoriser le contenu Flash à enregistrer des données sur votre ordinateur : This is an INCOMPLETE OR WRONG translation, the french sentence means "Allow content to store data on your computer". There is NO MENTION of third-party here.
    Stocker les composants Flash courants pour réduire la durée de téléchargement. This is a correct translation of "Store common Flash components to reduce download times.
    So, am I to think that if I uncheck the second choice, I will disallow third-party stuff (as in the English sentence), or will it disallow ALL content to be stored (as in the French sentence), regardless of third-party or not?
    This is very important for me, and for all the French speaking Flash player users.
    I can't believe there is such a mistake in a product used as widely as the Flash player is...
    The Website Storage settings are per website settings, I do not want to have to accept/deny each website individually, I want a global policy for disabling third-party cookies, exactly as the second choice in English is designed for.
    Unfortunately, the French second choice (apparently) doesn't say the same, as it allows/disallows ALL contents.
    Could someone from the Adobe translation team (or equivalent) help to solve this, maybe?
    Regards and thanks for any help.

  • Cannot check Allow Third-Party Content from Global Storage Settings panel.

    I cannot check the box that says Allow   Third-Party Content To Store Data On Your Computer in the Global Storage Settings panel. I have seen many other people with this issues but they have either been unresolved or the resolutions to the problems do not work for me.
    I am running
    Windows XP SP2 32bit
    Firefox 3.6.6 32 bit
    Can somebody please help me resolve this issue?

    When you open Windows Explorer, type %appdata% into the address bar, and it will take you to the location.
    On Windows XP this is usually C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data
    From there go down to the 'Adobe' and 'Macromedia' folders and delete the 'Flash Player' folder in each.

  • I'm trying to find an external drive for the MacPro that will allow me to password protect the external drive in case it is taken.  Any suggestions on a very reliable on that is 2TB or a third party software that is compatable with the need I describe?

    How much of a hurry are you in, and are you considering upgrading to Lion?
    File Vault on Snow Leopard only encrypts home folders you select, and doesn't work well with Time Machine.
    But Lion will have "full disk encryption" of local or external disks.  See File Vault 2 here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/whats-new/features.html

  • I can't enable/disable "allow third party cookies" with the new Firefox preferences

    The newly revised preferences for Firefox--specifically 'Privacy' and 'Security' don't appear to have an option for me to enable and disable third-party cookies. I don't allow them generally, but need to enable them in order to use my bank's billpay. PLEASE--if anyone has an answer to this, I'm trying to find out how to enable and disable third-party cookies, as I did with the previous Firefox preferences.

    In the History section of Options -> [[Options window - Privacy panel|Privacy]] , is the dropdown set to 'Firefox will: ''Use custom settings for History'' '?
    This should reveal the granular settings for saving cookies and forms, etc.

  • Will not allow 3rd party flash content

    When I load a webpage that may have a flash player embedded video...I get the error message:
    Please click 'Allow 3rd Party Flash Content' in the Adobe Global Storage Settings page that will load when you click OK
    However, when I click OK and look at my settings, the "Allow 3rd Party Flash Content" box is already checked.  So, I'm not sure what to do to resolve this.
    I am using Firefox version 3.6.15 and Windows XP.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    thanks.

    Hi, I know some websites may have different requirements, but for some reason they don't seem to be recognizing your Settings. That or it is something else. I can't see why viewing a video would even require that. I've never UNchecked mine, so I don't know that for sure. Youtube videos use Flash Player thru the browser.
    Can you right click on the video and see if they are using their player?
    Do you have Windows Media Player Installed?
    In the FF plugins is the Shockwave Flash plugin enabled? It needs to be.
    Can you see the Flash Player logo animate (spin) here? What version of Flash player is displayed?  http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Do you use any adblock?

  • Cannot view third party flash (windows 7)

    I've been trying to check the box to enable me to allow third party content but it will not check no matter what I do.
    I've seen people post about this before, but the other posts were from users with different operating systems. I'm running windows 7 with firefox 3.6.12 and adobe flash 10.1
    Please help..

    Delete the 'Flash Player' folders at %APPDATA%\Adobe and %APPDATA%\Macromedia and try again. (Type or copy/paste these addresses into the Windows Explorer address bar.)

  • Not allowing third party cookies

    I have absolutely no idea what happened, but flash player isn't allowing third party cookies on my mac. I've uninstalled re-installed and took plug-ins out of the internet plug-ins folder to see if any of them were conflicting with flash player and still no results. The worst part is that on the global settings panel inside of the adobe website it wont allow me to change any settings. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Another interesting fact is that flash works fine under other users. At this point it seems like the only solution is to transfer all my files to another account. Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this?

  • Can you add the entire content of your desktop to the allowable locations in flash player?

    can you add the entire content of desktop to the allowable locations in flash player?  when i click 'add' to allowable locations and type in file:///C:/Documents and Settings under website (i know it's not the website but where else would it be added) it doesn't show up in the overall list of allowable 'sites'.

    Hi radwh,
    Are you talking about trying to add your desktop to Flash Player's trusted locations? If so, you use the "Advanced" tab on the Local Settings Manager to designate folders and files as trusted. (Full path is Advanced->Developer Tools->Trusted Location Settings.) Here's a link to the documentation for that: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlayer/LSM/WS6aa5ec234ff3f285139dc56112e3786b68c-7ff0.htm l .
    Hope this helps, and get back to me with further details if this is not what you were asking.
    Thanks,

  • How Access a Third Party Flash Media Player

    Hello eveyone,
    I was wondering if there is any way that I can know some how
    what buttons "Play, Pause, FF, etc. " has been clicked a third
    party Flash Media Player?
    Thank you and have a great day.
    Khoramdin

    Thanks for the suggestions it appears I was doing more or less the right things but miss reading the error message:
    Cannot access keyword.classes.thirdPartyClass
    bad class file C:\java\keyword\classes\thirdPartyClass
    class file contains wrong class: thirdPartyClass
    please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectroy of the classpath.
    While looking I have found that the classes do not contian src folders of Javadoc so I will go see if the third party can supply a Jar file or similar.
    Thanks

  • Please allow third party apps to do turn by turn GPS apps

    Hi,
    I emailed the people at www.garmin.com they have a software called "Garmin Mobile XT" the only one currently allowing Dominican residents to use the GPS map at www.ola.com.do, Garmin says that the current iPhone SDK won't allow third party apps to do turn by turn apps. Please change the SDK to allow third party apps to do this or talk with the people at www.ola.com.do so that the GPS map can be included in the google map's database. Thanks.

    FYI - this is a user to user help forum only, so you aren't addressing anything to Apple here.
