Brand new imac flash player keeps freezing in webchat sites

hello;-) to start, i did read some other posts on this subject however i wasnt sure if it would be the same for me as i am running a mac, and the responses i saw were for pc's. my problem is that my camera will freeze up in some sites that require a flash cam and in others it does not. the sites that it does freeze in, i used to be able to acces using my cam. i get to the point where the adobe box pops up askin if i will allow the site access to my cam, and from there im stuck!!! sometimes the whole page freezes, sometimes the background remains active but the adobe box is stuck, wont respond, wont acces the cam-and i have to reload the page anyways. once the adobe box pops up, if i right-click the mouse and go to settings, the adobe box has options to "always allow or deny" whatever site i am on, lets say chatroullete, and it has already selected deny (though i never told it to) and since its frozen (despite the fact it let me view this new 'page') i still cant change it to allow. why is it workin in some sites and not others? and why has it stopped working in sites it previously worked in? why is the little adobe box frozen yet active in those sites, i can see dif pg's of the adobe box but not modify settings?i figure if it was completly frozen it wouldnt even let me view the settings pg of the adobe box... my imac is less than two months old, running osx , and i use firefox....any help would be appreciated as i worry the problem will just get worse untill i cant use my cam online!!!;-(((( booohooo!

Hi, here is the link for Global Settings. I'd read and apply any settings you want from there instead of individual websites.
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l
Sometimes the websites themselves are having problems. If they have a FAQ section or system requirements, you may want to refer to them also.
Thanks,

Flash player keeps freezing on live streams

Why does my flash player keep freezing when I play live videos. When I play live videos on youtube like concerts they always freeze after about 2 minutes and then I have to refresh my browser. The same thing happens when I try to use Tinychat and it gets frustrating that I have to keep resfreshing my browser. I have tried uninstalling flash and reinstalling it again but that doesn't help.

Firefox:
doesnt go further from here, just stops.
Internet progress:
Now with Chrome! :
(It did stop buffering after 8minutes for whatever reason but it was more lag (my connection) as it showed spinning circles then started again, on firefox there are no spinning circles, it just stops and never goes further.)
But it did buffer it all?

I also have this issue with

Why does my Flash Player keep freezing during video play back?

I have the very lastest version for Windows 7 64bit OS and it keeps freezing during video play back. The previous versions did not do this. I have to keep the cursor moving inside the video window to prevent the player freezing. I have deslected HARDWARE ACCELERATION and it does not help. Why is this happening and how do I correct this situation?

Right click ANY Flash content and choose "Setings".
Click the folder icon (center tab) and increase the storage to at least 10Mb.

Flash player keeps freezing videos and streams

I've been having issues since about wednsday or thursday last week. My flash player is simply not behaving as it used to, (it's been fine on this PC and Internet Connection since October, it's not my rig nor my connections fault) when I watch youtube videos they stop loading after a little while and I have to click stop download and then start it again, or hit f5, it wont continue loading, and it's not just a wait for it to buffer.
Then this friday, as I was going to watch MLG that I paid for, I noticed that streams were freezing aswell, same issue, they go cool and usual for a few seconds to a few minutes, and then they just stop loading the stream or video, making me restart the download through pause - play, f5, stop download then restart etc.
I've been fiddling with Flash player settings such as storage maximum (now set to unlimited), I've cleared my cache and cookies aswell. I spent in total 7 hours with MLG Tech support trying to figure out what was wrong to no avail. I've even used direct DNS Server connecting, so I am left with the thought that it's a Flash Player issue. On some youtube videos dont have this problem. (Only the ones not using Flash player!!!)
My rig:
Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
8Gb dd3 RAM
2x Nvidia GTX Geforce 560
Intel i7 2600
10mbps Connection
120Gb SSD Hard Disk
and 1 Tb HDD

Brand New HP Envy 15 keeps freezing. Need Help

I bought a new HP laptop a week ago and it seemed like a fantastic machine. However it kept freezing to the point where I had to hold down the power button to turn off. Went back to retailer and did a straight swap.
However the new laptop (same model) is exactly the same. Freezes randomly, I may be browsing, or in a word document or reading a pdf and it will just freeze.
I'm not very technical but have updated drivers etc. A few days ago upon startup the BIOS updated.
I'm completely confused and have spent a lot of money on the laptop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @UA14 ,
@colum5
I grasp that your notebook freezes or locks up. As this was a new purchase you returned it to the retailer and exchanged it.
The replacement did the same thing. You have done a bios update but there was no change.
Have you done all your Windows updates?
Have you ran the HP Support Assistant to aid with HP updates?
Have you tried doing a Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8). This will reinstall the OS but should not affect your personal files. Just to be safe I do recommend you backup your data first.
Here is a link to Computer Locks Up or Freezes (Windows 8) that may also help.
With this being a brand new purchase, I recommend contacting HP support for assistance, especially since this is not the only one with the same issue. They can remotely access your system to help find and fix difficulties.
Please call our technical support at 800 474 6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get a support number for your region.

Flash player keeps freezing

Hello
I have been through many troubleshooting steps listed in a
number of help pages on your site and other sites, and films and
video cl
ips are not always playing on sites that use flash. I get one
or two seconds of film then it stops. A few minutes later another
one
or two seconds play, then stops. After 15 minutes I've seen
about ten seconds of film!
I've uninstalled and re-installed adobe flash, version 9.
I've disabled Norton worm protection (firewall) and windows xp
firewall. I
've cleared all temp internet files and cookies. I've
restarted my pc. I've tried to watch the films using firefox 2 and
internet ex
plorer 6, but still having the same problem. I am using
superfast 8MB broadband, so bandwidth being the problem can also be
ruled ou
t I guess!?
Various sites use adobe flash for their video clips, and i
have had problems watching clips on them, including youtube and
atomfilms
. Having followed all the troubleshooting, cleared cache,
cleared cookies, re-installed flash, disabled firewall, tried
different br
owsers, and compared to other sites which use mediaplayer or
realplayer (which work), what else can I do?
Is the problem my pc or is it the youtube and atomfilms sites
or servers that are at fault? Or are there any other settings that
I s
hould be changing on my pc? Are there any specific changes I
can make to my firewall rather than disabling it completely? There
is a
n option for exclusions in firewall, but I cannot see
macromedia or flash listed in the programs menu. I am desperate to
find the an
swer and a solution. please help!

My brand new MacBook Pro 15" keeps freezing

I got a MacBook Pro 15" with 750GB memory, and 8GB RAM, and it keeps randomely freezing, im about to go away to boarding school, so if you know how to fix this please tell me. It is not a problem with using to much RAM i dont think, because I checked activity moniter and it said i had 6.19GB free. Possibly overheating. Any suggestions?

Here is freeing up hard drive space in case you or others need it.
Not enough free space can cause all sorts of issues including freezing and disk corruption.

No https on brand new iMac

Brand new iMac and I can't access https sites. I'm using the default administrator account so no parental controls are configured. The only thing I've done so far is connected to the internet, changed some personal preferences (desktop picture, dock behavior), and downloaded some updates.
Also, for being brand new with nothing installed/running, it seems to be running slow. Safari responds slowly, launching items from the dock takes minutes not seconds.
Any ideas for either of these issues is appreciated.

Not sure if this is relevent to gaining access to https sites, but have you installed the latest Java update from Apple?
Java for OS X Lion Update 1
It's been a while since I set up my new Mac but I think it came without Java installed and I had to downloaded it. If your Mac is new and has never had Java installed you won't be offered the update. You should have an app in your Utilities folder called Java Preferences. If it's there, launch it and see if it tells you anything.

Brand new iMac freezes constantly! Updates aren't helping!

Hello everyone,
This past Sunday I bought a brand new iMac intel Core 2 Duo with a 250 GB HDD and 1 GB of RAM. At home I set it up with my SAMSUNG 1080p 22" monitor, Apple bluetooth Keyboard and mightymouse, and a Western Digital 350 GB HDD hooked up via USB. I was excited to finally jump on the intel-based Mac bandwagon, as well as experience dual monitors for the first time.
That was Sunday. Tuesday evening I was watching "Rome" on itunes on my Samsung monitor while surfing the web with Omniweb on the iMac monitor. All of sudden, everything locked up. I was able to move my cursor, but nothing responeded to my clicking. I hard booted the system and loaded everything I had going again, and sure enough, it locked up a few moments later. I ran system update, updated everything, then restarted. Time went by and although not immediatly, later that night it froze up on me again.
Fast forward to last nite, and the freezing reached and all time high. 5 times. Each time was when I had a browser open in my iMac window and I had Quicktime playing in my Samsung monitor. I was watching a sports program, with the player fit to the screen.
I have read many posts about intel iMacs freezing late last year, but there was a firmware update that evidently fixed that. I have this update installed, and I have had no luck. I have even contacted Apple Care via phone where I got instructed to unplug everything, plug it back in, start in safe mode, and delete cache. That didn't help me out at all. Am I right insuspecting I have a faulty Video card? I just ordered 4GB of RAM, could this be a RAM issue?

When diagnostics are run on a freezing computer and nothing shows, I'll put the program into a testing loop because this means one of two things: the issue is heat related so running the diagnostics several more times will bring on the heat so that the issue shows up or the installed RAM is marginal, just flaky enough to show up now and again but not so far off that a run through of the memory test catches it on the first run.
As I said in my original post, memory is always a suspect in a freezing or kernel panicking computer. And it does tend to top my list. But from what you describe I'm not quite willing to say, "Why don't you just wait until the RAM upgrade arrives?"

How do I uninstall Mavericks and recover Lion? I have a brand new iMac and web pages stall or freeze since I installed Mavericks. I can't get it to download software for my printer when I connect it.

I have a brand new iMac. It was working fine until I downloaded Mavericks. Now I have web pages that freeze while trying to load. The blue in the address bar stalls and freezes. If I try to load from page 1 to a later page, or reverse that, I also have the same problem. I tried to connect my printer for the first time, and again, the blue progress bar froze. Then I got the yellow triangle telling me there was a connection problem. My internet connection is via an Air Card as that is my only option where I live. I packed up the whole new iMac and took it to my Air Card provider, where they also have very fast Wifi, and they had the same problem with Wifi. I use my Air Card with my MacBook and it works JUST GREAT! I really want to return to Lion. HELP.

The only way to retutn to Lion is to format your drive (erase, lose all) and either:
1. clone back the clone copy i hoep you have, or
2. first backup your files, then format and install Lion again
But really, mavericks works great. You have a problem. Find out why. First, what unusual software do oyu have installed that may be conflicting with it? Virus, system modifiers, etc? Second what OLD software do you have that might be the problem. finally, you might need to do a re-install if something errored during install.

Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce a recovered file despite settings asking it to do so every 5 mins now. When i try to report the problem, it says it has found an issue and gives me a link to a solution....but wont let me click on the link.... PLEASE HELP! It's killing my productivity.

If the crash started right after you added RAM, it could be a bad Ram dimm. You can try this - change the amount of RAM in Photoshop to 4G, this should stop Photoshop from using the higher ram. If it doesn't crash, it's probably the ram. Or run a diagnostic app. You don't say when it crashes, what you're doing when it crashes - it there a pattern? Did it ever work on this computer? Did it work on your previous computer? Without a lot of data, it could be related to the new computer... What OS version? Did you recently update it? Have you updated Photoshop to the most recent update?
Do you have any plug-ins loaded? Try restarting Photoshop, and immediately press & hold the shfit key to turn off plug-ins.

I have a brand new iMac that does not have iDVD. Made a move on iMovie installed a 3rd party burn prog. but DVD won't playback on my regular dvd player. Need to burn one that will. Help!

My new iMac did not come with iDVD as they are not using iDVD any longer. I made a movie that I needed to put on a DVD that would play on any external DVD player. After calling Apple twice, they recommened a 3rd party program so I downloaded "Burn-osx" and made the DVD; however when i insert it into my player connected to the TV it gives the message "disk error --playback feature may not be available on this disk". Ok--now what? I am up against a time line here--need the DVD for a graduation party! Help! What am I not doing correctly?

I have a brand new iMac
If you are still within your 15 day return period. Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge. (There are no realistic substitutes.)
Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.

800-692-7753
If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie. Get iDVD.

Brand new iMAC keeps hanging

Hi All
I received my brand new iMAC today - having never had a MAC anything before - decided to switch as fed up of hanging, viruses etc on PCs and also need more multimedia options.
Have set it all up it keeps hanging - for no reason i click on force quit and sometimes it will and sometimes it won't even do that - I am totally confused it has done it to me on MAC Office, iCalc, i photos, i tunes etc etc
Do i have a dud machine am i doing something wrong???? Please help.
Cheers

Kazzaboobers,
Welcome to the forum. Chances are you don't have a dud. In case you haven't read the manual I would recommend doing so before playing with your machine, you will be surprised what you learn.
Also when you mention the machine is hanging please describe with a little more detail so we can understand exactly what you mean.
You are covered by 90 days for free telephone support, if the problem persists take advantage of the support and give Apple a call. In the rare event you did get a dud they will replace the machine within 14 days of purchase.
Last IMHO it is a good idea to get AppleCare, this gives you 3 years of phone support and an additional 2 years of warranty. You can find it online (Amazon for example) for less than Apple charges.
