Fix for Flash player in Mountain lion/Safari 6.0

Hi, i was having problems with flash player but found a fix, it takes a while but it worked for me. First install the latest flash player. now mount the flash player installer, go to flash player installer and right click, then "open package contents", then go to contents, resources and right click adobe flash player.pkg, right click and show package contents. then go to contents, and extract archive.pax.gz. A folder named library should appear in your downloads. Copy everything in application support folder to the applicaton support folder in your computers library. Do the same for Internet plugins folder and preferences panes. Lastly, copy com.adobe.fpsaud.plist to the preferences folder in you computers library, and voila, flash player will work in mountain lion.
i hope this solves it for everybody else!

I, actually read another thread that suggested resetting Safari so I tried this and it has been functioning normally since that time. Thanks for the help though.

  • Adobe flash player and mountain lion problems

    I've just upgrded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and now find that I'm getting messages (TVcatchup) asking for Adobe Flash player although I appear to have successfully installed version 11.3. In other sites I'm asked to install Java although I understood Mountain Lion to contain a Javea equivalent. Any clues out there please?

    Sorry guys. I discovered that Safari / Preferences / Security tab I had the 'enable plug - ins' unchecked. I checked it and it solved the problem.
    Hope it helps - took me a couple of days before I found it by chance (thrashing around!)

  • Is anyone else having problems running Flash Player on Mountain Lion?

    After installing Flash Player on my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion, my computer started crashing when I put it to sleep.  When I uninstalled Flash, I no longer had the problem.  Is anyone else having problems like this with Flash Player?  Is this an issue with Mountain Lion or Adobe?  Is there a fix for it, or am I just out of luck with the prospect of running Flash Player on my new Mac?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • HT5271 Flash Player on Mountain Lion

    I got MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion OS, the problem is currently I can't play Flash Player on Safari but others browser fine. Even after updating the flash player the problem still persist. Before this everything fine. After updated to Mountain Lion, i need to use other browser that can support flash. All of them ok just problem still happens in Safari. Kindly advise.

    You should only ever download Flash from that link. If a site pops up a message offering you a link to download Flash, don't take it. It might be the Adobe auto-update, but it might equally well be malware - there have been problems along these lines.

  • Fix for Flash Player Plugin in IE7

    I posted this in the general Flash forum, but figured this
    was a better place for it as many people are having this issue:
    I've seen quite a few people with this issue and they all
    seem to have issues finding the fix...I never found a 100% solution
    on Adobe's site, but I found some directions that finally worked.
    Basically, if Flash Player refuses to work in Internet
    Explorer for you (but works in other browsers if you've tried) then
    follow the steps available at:
    Fix
    Flash Player Plugin for Internet Explorer 7 or 6
    It's basically a mashup of various directions available on
    Adobe & Microsoft's websites with links to all the files that
    you will need to download. Hopefully Adobe can use the list to
    create a fix that works.

    No - webview will not support a flash player plugin.
    install flash plugin for WebView "Thread: install flash plugin for WebView"
    Richard's comment from the thread (Richard is the JavaFX lead):
    As for plugins, we are not likely to ever support running plugins (except maybe applets), for security reasons. There are also additional issues. If the browser is to support arbitrary things that Chrome supports like native client etc, it adds to the footprint of the browser (and security risks). Already the WebView constitutes over half of the download size of JavaFX. I would need a pretty strong justification to make it larger if doing so also increases our risk to vulnerabilities.

  • Need a fix for flash player on ios7

    Flash player is not supported by iOS7.  Can we get a solution?

    In a word "No".
    In 2006 when Apple developed iOS (for the first iPhone), they were adamant about making it specifically incompatible with Flash technology. That will never change. Their reasoning is that playing Flash content is extremely processor consumptive and it kills the batteries, and battery life, in mobile devices like iPhones and iPads.

  • Fix for Wifi issues in Mountain Lion

    I've tried all the solutions on the forums that I could find and none of these fixed my wifi issues.  This however did:
    - Change the SSID of your wireless network.
    I'm pretty sure I had a similar issue with Lion and sorted it by deleting all the preference files like others have said, but it didn't work for me this time.  I'm convinced that the common issue is that it's a corrupt or duplicate config. 
    Anyway, I thought I'd post this to help others.

    UPDATE
    A week or so ago my wifi suddenly stopped working again on both my Macbook and Mac Mini.  Note that my PC, iPad and iPhone continue to work. 
    I've changed my SSID twice now and this time I was determined to figure out an alternative solution.  Again I tried every solution I could find, this time what worked is chagning my router to only broadcast on the 'N' wireless band. 
    This has fixed it however it's not a great solution as my wireless printer is 'G' only.  Until Apple resolve this issue I'm happy to print with a network cable if it means my Macs work.

  • Hi, i'm a new member of this community. I've recently learn about flashback malware and other threats to Mac devices. I've installed the new Mac OS X update for Lion 10.7, and the flashback removal tool. what about the update for Flash Player?

    Hi,
    i'm a new member of this community. I've recently learn about flashback malware and other threats to Mac devices. I've installed the new Mac OS X update for Lion 10.7, and the flashback removal tool. What about the update for Flash Player? Should i install it? Otherwise, should i permanently remove this app?
    I realy need some advice.
    Thank's to all.

    Be sure to install the latest version of Safari (version 5.1.7) which is available via Software Update (in the Apple menu) if you have not already installed it. This update will automatically disable older versions of Flash when new versions are available, and will instruct you on how to install the latest version on your system. This should help keep your system safe from any vulnerabilities in Flash.
    Note that this is only useful if you use Safari, though other browsers have their own update mechanisms you should research and enable or configure to your liking.

    I've seen in some discussions that Adobe CS5 programs arent working either and that a Java update will make them work. Anyone know if this will do the same for Adobe Flash Player?
