Blocked plug ins... how to unblock?

I just updated software on my MacBook and now I can't seem to get video ...
I get a message/icon that says 'blocked plug ins' and link to down load Flash, which I have done.
Doesn't seem to make it work.
Any guidance is appreciated.

I'll assume you mean Flash. 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 5.
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.
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.
3. Triple-click the line below 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.
4. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
5. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
6. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
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.

    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

  • Blocked plug ins how do I stop this?

    Last year my system began doing "blocked plug-in" on anything video.  Heretofore, I had not had a problem with this.  How do I turn it off?

    Click on that message and follow the onscreen directions. You'll probably be told to update Flash.

    1) open safari

    3) choose Preferences
    4) under security section click on manage website settings....

  • 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.

  • 911-PLEASE HELP! OS X Mountain Lion "Blocked Plug-Ins"anyone please?

    All Plug-ins enabled, no extensions, this is killing my ability to bid on jobs from a site. Only purchased the upgrade to expand my capabilities & software, so I could bid on more gigs & now I can't even service clients I already had with this "blocked plug-ins" error. Have already Uninstalled Flash player, reinstalled. I was unable to even upload a photobooth video log to "yousendit" because the "choose file" says "blocked plug-ins". Worked with an apple tech support person for an hour, tried everything, even attempted to access a basic youtube video via Internet Explorer, Firefox & Google Chrome...NO GO! Is it possible the Mountain Lion downloaded software file could be corrupt? Please anyone...I've been dead in the water since I upgraded to Mountain Lion Wed. night. I'm am getting to the point I will need to refund the software and go back to where I was if that is even possible at this point. Please help me ...anyone.

    suggestion - call apple.....since we're all users here, it's hard to give you the right suggestion/answer regarding your issue...

  • Still getting blocked plug ins after downloading latest flash player to macbook

    Am still getting blocked plug ins on video content after downloading latest flash player (as requested to do) to macbook please help

    Can you check to see if you have "enable plug-ins" checked in Safari's preferences dialog, under the security tab? If not, enable it and check.
    It seems to be a browser specific issue. Try a different browser like chrome or firefox, check if it works there.
