Application/x-shockwave-flash

I've never had a problem with flash running on my browser and
now suddenly when I try to open a page with flash content I get the
following message:
The page “ussoccer.com - Home” has content of
MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you
don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in
should be available on this page:
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer.
I download the new Flash Player 9 and install. Same problem.
I uninstall the flash player, reinstall flash player 9, same
problem.
I usually use Safari, but similar warnings occur in Internet
Explorer and Firefox.
I am running this on a PowerMac G4 laptop, OS 10.3.9.

OK, so now I've tried again to open FF in safe mode again, but the problem is still unsolved. Same problem in safe mode.
The hardware acceleration in the flash player is set to disabled long before I posted this problem.
I didn't know that Pitchfork had such a special flash player, but the problem is the same on any sites. Just chose Pitchfork because it's an English site. Bad example then...
Here's a better example: NME.com:
http://www.nme.com/musicvideos/my-chemical-romance-sing/832454
Here I only see a white space where the flash object is embedded (if it really IS embedded, I dont't know how these things work). But I can right-click and get the dialog for Adobe Flash Player 10 properties (such as settings and global settings), and if I'm lucky to hit the start button (wich I don't see), the flash object starts playing, and I hear all sound but see no image.
I open the page info menu, and here I find in the list of media URL's the link to the flash object, described as an embedded object in the NME site:
URL: http://www.muzu.tv/player/getPlayer/a/RSFVcmvHJ4/autostart=n&includeAll=y&soundoff=n&vidId=832454&videotype=hq
Type: application/x-shockwave-flash
It's grey and italic in the list of media URL's, and I assume that's because it's not properly loaded.
But if I copy the URL from the media URL list and paste it into the adress field of a new tab, I can both see and hear the flash object without a problem.
This is exactly the same issue with local sites that have embedded web radio stations. Cant see the object, and have to be quite lucky to hit the start button. But by stepping via info for site and copy the URL to the flash object and paste it into a new, empty tab, I can both see and hear whatever was supposed to display in the original site.
Any help would be more than welcome! So many of the sites I use most has embedded flash objects, so if I cannot solve this I have to find another browser. I REALLY don't want to, because otherwise I really love FF...

Embedded application/x-shockwave-flash objects will not display

4.0b9 on Windows XP
I just get a white section where a shockwave flash object should be, and in all the occurences I've found it's when the flash object is embedded. Youtube works just fine, though...
In the "white section" I can right-click and get the options for Adobe Flash Player 10, but I cannot actually choose any of the menu options.
In some cases, I can choose to display the flash object in another tab, and then it works just fine. Typically an embedded youtube movie clip acts like that that, but not always.
In an example, I see only a white section where the shockwave flash object should be visible in Pichfork TV - http://pitchfork.com/tv/
When I open the page information, in the media section, list of URL's, I find an URL that is both grey and italic, and describes this URL as type Embedded:
URL - http://pitchfork-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/player/DelveMoviePlayer.swf
Type - application/x-shockwave-flash
I assume this URL is grey and italic because it is not loaded or opened in the pitchfork TV site.
This is the same problem with most embedded flash objects, and I really hope someone can help me! I've browsed aroud the support forums and tried a lot of different tips, but to no avail.
I have of course uninstalled and reinstalled both flash player and shockwave from adobe's site, and made sure it's not the active-x version for IE that's installed.
My add-in manager claims that Shockwave Flash 10.1 r102 is installed and enabled, and the release is the latest available according to adobe.com.
I have also tried to open FF in secure/private mode, but same problem in both modes.
Just to check, I tried to open this site with IE8, and there it displays correctly (and I also remembered why I don't ever use IE8, haha...), so apparently the active-x part of shockwave/flash works...

Trouble shooting- MIME type "application/x-shockwave-flash"

I am experincing a problem with watching youtube videos. This problem is exactly like Subtitlemewrong's problem which stated...
"I received only the December '07 update of Quicktime (7.4) and Security Update (2007-009 1.1). That's it. And then my life went to shambles and flash content no longer displays on the web!"...
"A website with flash content won't load, instead I get a block icon with a question mark and a message saying, "The page "Page Title X" has content of MIME type "application/x-shockwave-flash". Because you don't have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, the content can't be displayed." Sometimes I get directed to the Adobe site for Flash, which I'll download. But that doesn't do anything either."
I tried the solution that was given by Klaus1 and it didn't work. I uninstalled using http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2
Then I tried to install using http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash. I clicked on powerpc -based mac and started to install and recieved taht same message that I didn't have the plug-in installed this MIME type.
Thanks for you help.

Yeah, I already tried it under a different account. Unfortunately the new account had the same problem. I appreciate the suggestion. My only logical guess is that the new update to quicktime doesn't mix with 10.3 Panther. I am planning on upgrading to Leopard next week after I get my paycheck. Who knows, maybe those guys will know how to fix it, but so far...no luck. Thanks.

Content of MIME type "application/x-shockwave-flash"

Hey, im not that advanced with this stuff but I keep on getting this message recently and I cannot remember any recent major downloads/updates:
This page has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type.
This happens on Youtube, facebook and stuff like that. Also, Ive noticed that apple trailers using quicktime isnt working. I have installed the new plugins for flashplayer and Quicktime but still no result.
Any help PLEASE? I hate using firefox coz i love safari!
Cheers!

Have you by any chance moved Safari from its proper place in the Applications Folder to a sub-folder, or renamed it?
Try this routine:
Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two.
Background information here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
and here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

I've been on a couple websites that tell me that I should download the above mentioned plugin. BUT when I click for it to be installed, I receive the mesage "No suitable plugins were found". I remember some comments about Flashplayer (?) being a problem and I don't want to screw things up. I'm running OS X 10.7.4. Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

Only download it from a trusted site such as adobe website. It's fine.

Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in (MIME type...x-shockwave-flash)

Well, YouTube and other flash sites worked fine just until today. So I get this message :
+The page “YouTube - Meet Single File” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.+
I've already tried Disk Repair to repair the permissions, installed, re-installed Flash Player and Shockwave Player and nothing yet. System preferences with QuickTime Advanced Panel to enable flash and the other miscelaneous one I unchecked, the normal procedure, I guess. Also checked the libraries to see if I didn't have the plugin in two libraries, but i'm not sure about the library/plugin issue.
Any help is much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Kinetick

I actually don't get any error message at all. The Q is greyed out and a large ? in center of it and nothing works in Safari. I get the same non-message wherever I go that has QT. I have tried some of the fixes that have worked for other people but nothing works so far. I tossed the webplugin into the trash and restarted Safari. I repaired permissions. I looked at the plug-ins list in help but that was only confusing since I don't have a clue what any of those control. Getting frustrated and have spent a couple of hours trying to fix this.

X-shockwave-flash plug in

I am having a hard time installing flash player onto my new computer. When I tried to install i was coming up with a drop box that said safari cannot find internet plug in MIME type plug in application/ x-shockwave flash. I went to the apple support and did find a plug in for flash but that was only for windows. I checked safari and the plug ins are activated. How do i install the plug in and then the flash program?
Help!! klineswim

It is just possible that you may have come across a Trojan.
From MacWorld Aug. 8, 2008:
Fake CNN news malware spreading fast
Over a thousand hacked sites are serving up fake Flash Player software to users duped into clicking on links in mail that's part of a massive spam attack masquerading as CNN.com news notifications.
The bogus messages, which claim to be from the CNN.com news website, include links to what are supposedly the day's Top Ten news stories and Top Ten news video clips from the cable network. Clicking on any of those links, however, brings up a dialogue that says an incorrect version of Flash Player has been detected, and tells users they needed to update to a newer edition.
One distinguishing feature of the attack, Masiello added, is the endless loop it uses to frustrate victims. If user clicks "Cancel" in the dialogue that prompts for an update, another pop-up appears, said Masiello, that tells the victim that they have to download it to view the video. Clicking "Cancel" there returns the user to the first dialogue.
"It puts you in this perpetual loop, so your only options are to kill your browser session or be brow-beaten into installing it,"
Adobe is aware of the malware posing as its Flash Player, and on Monday warned users to ignore any updates that didn't originate on its own servers. "Do not download Flash Player from a site other than adobe.com," said David Lenoe, Adobe's product security program manager, in an entry on Adobe Product Security Incident Response Team's PSIRT blog. "This goes for any piece of software (Reader, Windows Media Player, QuickTime, etc.). If you get a notice to update, it's not a bad idea to go directly to the site of the software vendor and download the update directly from the source. If the download is from an unfamiliar URL or an IP address, you should be suspicious."
People who okayed the download of the bogus flash.exe file, said Danchev, instead received a Trojan horse -- identified by multiple names, including Cbeplay.a -- that in turn "phones home" to a malicious server to grab and install additional malware.
http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?email&NewsID=22323
If you have agreed to that installation, your system can be infected and your DNS settings altered, which results in your system using the wrong DNS servers, which can slow web surfing to a crawl.
This can be fixed by downloading and running a freeware utility called DNSChanger Removal Tool which you can download from here:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/33696
Once you have run that utility you have to re-boot your Mac, then reset Safari, and re-enter your DNS settings in System Preferences/Network.

Shockwave/Flash not detected

I am trying to embed a video (from YouTube - but I've tried other sources as well) on a website. When I click the "Insert" button in the insert media pop-up, I get the error message:
"The page “adcdef ” has content of MIME type “\"application/x-shockwave-flash\"”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed."
Infuriatingly, the preview panel in the pop-up shows the video before the "Insert" command. Equally infuriating is that I can visit websites and Flash/Shockwave content displays perfectly
I have checked and unchecked the "Enable Plug-ins" button. I have uninstalled both Flash and Shockwave. I have repaired permissions. I have zapped the PRAM. I reinstalled both programmes.
I am baffled!
My software (OS 10.5.6) is fully up to date.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have uninstalled both Flash and Shockwave.
How did you uninstalled them?
Did you downloaded Flash and used the un-staller>Repaired Permissions and re-stalled it again ...
And did you do the same with ShockWave ??

How do I set my default Shockwave Flash object viewer to Firefox 4 RC?

In the previous version of Firefox, I set it as my default Shockwave Flash viewer (these were offline objects) by selection the application in my program files.
When I upgraded to FF 4 RC, I was no longer able to view these files, nor was I able to find the application to default to (it was no longer in program files).
I tried setting the default viewer to the FF application located in Local Roaming but it won't appear in either the 'recommended' or 'other' when selected.
I can however still view these SWFs by clicking and dragging them onto the FF window. This isn't a major issue but I'd like to know if and how this can be fixed.
Thanks

# Open Windows Explorer.
# Right-click a Shockwave Flash file (.SWF) and select '''Open with''' then '''Choose default program...'''
# Click the '''Browse''' button in the lower right corner of the window and choose the Firefox executable. If you've installed Firefox in the default location, its path is ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe''

Shockwave Flash Keeps Coming Up With A Window That Has A Unresponsive Plugin?

The Shockwave Flash window keeps coming up when I am on the Internet. Most of the time. It says Warning: Unresponsive Plugin. Shockwave Flash may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the plugin now, or you can continue to see if the plugin will complete. I need help fixing this issue. I am using Firefox also. Let me know how to resolve this issue. I appreciate it. Thanks.

Shockwave Flash ActiveX reference?

Hello. I am trying to embed the Shockwave Flash ActiveX
object into my C++ application. I am having a hard time finding the
official reference documentation for the interfaces. Does anyone
have a link on hand?
Thank you for your help!

Hola samsara 1970:
Pues al parecer o tienes desactivado el control active x del
sockwave Flash
Player o bien tienes activado el bloqueo de ventanas
emergentes o pop us,
pero entonces te saldría también la linea amarilla
superior que te dice que
"internet explorer ha bloqueado en aras de su seguridad....",
por lo que
supongo que será solamente la primera de las opciones.
Para solucionarla vete en Internet Explorer a
Herramientas/Administrar
Complementos y asegúrate de que en el desplegable te
dice: "Mostrar todos
los complementos actualmente instalados en Microsoft Internet
Explorer",
tras lo cual te mostrará la lista de plugins del
navegador de internet.
En ésa lista eliges el Shockwave Flash Object y, debajo,
en configuración,
activas la casilla habilitar.
That's all.

Shockwave Flash above version 11.2.202.235 not compatible with Firefox 14.0.1

I am using Firefox 14.0.1 with Shockwave Flash. If I use any version of Shockwave Flash later than 11.2.202.235 I can not watch videos such as Youtube. All I get is a white screen. If I roll back to SF Ver .235 the videos play fine. I do not have this problem with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer.
Are the 11.3 r300 versions of Shockwave Flash not compatible with Firefox?

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 14 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
[[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
[[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
[[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

Win 7 does not associate swf with Shockwave Flash Captivate 7

I created a test file and when I went to publish it in Win 7, there was no application for the swf file. I tried to find Shockwave Flash or Macromedia and I could not find anything to associate it with. I looked on the Internet and someone suggested a stand alone Flash Player. I can associate the swf file with that but then it won't play through Captivate like it should. I tested it on another Win 7 machine and it too could not find the application. Captivate 5 with XP was so easy. It just found it and I had no problems. What is this about? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

When you publish your project as a SWF, a HTML file is also published. You can open this HTML just like any other web page in IE, FireFox or Chrome, You don't need a standalone Flash Player for that.
"I can associate the swf file with that but then it won't play through Captivate like it should. " -- You can insert SWF files on a slide in Captivate. AFAIK, Captivate could never be used as a "player" for SWFs.

Shockwave Flash - Outdated Version

When I check my plugins through:
https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
I get this message:
Potentially vulnerable plugins:
Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32 Outdated Version
When I click on "Update" it sends me to:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Then, I click on "Download now" and it wants to install "Adobe DLM" (Download Manager) - but I get an error:
Getplus+(r): error operating system error!

Thank you very much for that link!
The steps I took to resolve this problem:
1. Uninstalling every Adobe/Macromedia Player I had installed + using uninstall_flash_player.exe from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
2. Removing every folder and registry key that is related to Adobe/Macromedia
3. Doing a registry cleanup with CCleaner and Eusing Free Registry Cleaner
4. Then I noticed that I still had "Shockwave Flash" in my Firefox Plugins list (which is weird because of all the cleaning I've done) so I checked about:plugins in Firefox and got to this folder:
"C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Application Data\Mozilla\plugins" and deleted the files: flashplayer.xpt + NPSWF32.dll.
5. Then I closed Firefox and installed the Flash Player using this file:
http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
And voila! the plugin was finally updated!
