Flash 9 and Safari

Safari will not show flash content on one user, but does on all other users. On the defective user, Flash will play properly on all other browsers. When Safari cannot show the Flash content, it displays a Quicktime Q with a question mark.
Any suggestions on restoring my machine to normalcy?
TIA...Mike
Macbook Pro Duo Core 2 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

This may be coming in long after the fact but I just had to go through the same bit of strangleweed.
I downloaded the newest version of Flash Player (9,0,28,0) and installed it on several different Macs. It worked fine on all but my Powerbook, and even on that one it worked fine on other browsers AND in my test account. But on the Pbook's main account, in Safari, I got the Quicktime Question-mark icon in place of any Flash content. Went through all the hoops, repaired permissions, reinstalled Flash Player, trashed Safari's plist. Nothing helped.
Finally, at one point on the Flash website it said something about uninstalling any/all previous versions before Flash 9 would work. I downloaded the uninstaller to the desktop, ran it, reinstalled Flash Player 9, repaired permissions, and everything is fine now.

Flash and safari

Hi guys/gals
I have a question
i am trying to fit the fade in into the page but for bizarre reason, it comes up small http://www.rileyandrileyphoto.com/
it supposed to be 1293px or something among those lines
not sure what else to look for.. it is fine on IBM
thanks

... it still had the gray screen with the word FLASH in the middle of it.
Like this?
When you see the grey screen with Flash in a box, just click it. Click anywhere in the grey area.
Does it load the video then?
If so, you have the ClickToFlash (or ClickToPlugin) installed. That's a good thing. If you wish to turn it off use Safari > Preferences > Extensions.
To disable ClickToFlash just un-check the box "Enable ClickToFlash" or "ClickToPlugin", whichever you have.
I recommend keeping it installed. That way, with a single click you can control what Flash content loads. Most Flash content includes resource-sapping advertisements that slow things down.
ClickToFlash lets you load the Flash content you want, and ignore what you don't. ClickToPlugin blocks Flash content as well as HTML5, Silverlight, Java, and others.
If you want to uninstall it, click the Uninstall button and it's gone.

test tells you to do, do it. Then check your websites and see if that works.

Firefox crashes as soon as Flash video tries to load and Safari shows the error "Plug-in Failure"

I am unable to use Youtube or view Flash video on any sites.
Firefox crashes/quits as soon as a video tries to load and Safari shows the error "Plug-in Failure".
I have uninstalled Flash, downloaded a fresh version and installed, but no joy.
I am using OS X 10.6.6.
This is what I have tried so far;
1. Repaired Permissions.
2. Restarted with external drive and run Disk repair.
3. Restarted with external drive and run DiskWarrior.
4. Completely uninstalled Flash plugin. Robooted. Reinstalled Flash plugin. Rebooted.
5. I even installed an earlier version of the plugin to see if there was some incompatibility with the latest version.
6. Created a new user login and tried from there. Same problem.
Any ideas?

You have what is necessary for Flash Player to be working. Firefox had some issues last year but it was after loading a video or the website. I had not heard of it lately and even last year don't recall it happening on the Macs.
What is happening with yours sounds like a direct conflict with some addon/extension.
Here is the link from Firefox describing what happened last year. You might want to see if there is anything more current.

I'll get the Mac troubleshooting guide in a minute and post it also.
Any adblock or popup blocker software would cause this also.

Help Please. OS 10.5, Safari 5.0.6, Flash and Java

Hi.
I am very frustrated right now. A few days ago, I upgraded my MacPro to OS 10.5 . Everything seemed to be working fine until all of a sudden a fe days ago.
Now Flash and Java don't work.
I get an error message saying missing plug-in. So I went to the adobe page to download the latest version. The only thing that would happen on that page is the banner in the middle frame disappeared and nothing would download using Safari. I opened Firefox and it was able to download it. I ran the uninstaller, then installed the newests version, 10.??? (Newest on allowed on my computer)
I rebooted the computer to be safe and opened Safari and still no flash, same message. It works fine in Firefox and Seamonkey, just not safari. I checked for plug-ins and it doesn't show up.   It IS in the OS preference, but there is nothing I can see to do.
Flash makes way to many things work to just ignore it. Please help.
I have repeated this step more than once to no avail.
Secondly, Java. Java is not installed anymore. It WAS and I was having a problem with the window opening and staying open. I adjusted a setting not to open the window, then it stopped completely.   I backtracked and undid the do not open window and still doesn't work.
I found a Java testing page and this is what I was given - "The page “Java Tester - Is Java Enabled?” attempted to load Java content, but Java is unavailable or not installed."
I am now downloading Java again from the apple page, 1.6.0_33. However, one poster said not to use it at all. It's difficult to do many things with no Java at all.
Please advise.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Now, follow my standard upgrading advice:
Get a bootable, external HD (preferably FireWire, since it's 40-50% faster than USB 2 and designed for data transfers), make a bootable backup/clone before updating/upgrading, and ensure that it's bootable and works like the original. That allows you to revert to the previous good state without having to reinstall or reset anything. See these for details:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106941
http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/installswupdates.html
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/backuprecovery.html
If you only have a Time Machine backup, ensure that you can reliably restore it to another disk/volume/partition before updating/upgrading.

Hi Anne,
Your version of Safari is still supported. Please see Adobe Flash Player | Tech specs for supported OS and browsers.
If the Flash Player plugin is in the Plug-ins (disabled) folder it's because it's an older version that Apple has disabled in Safari. This has nothing to do with whether or not Flash Player supports the browser.
I'm not sure what you mean by "when i click on flash player itself i am told there is no application to open it." Flash Player.plugin only works in the browser to view Flash content in the browser. The plugin does not open files outside of the browser. If you have SWF files you'd like to view outside of the browser, then you'll need the Flash Player projector. However, based on your previous comments this doesn't appear to be what you are trying to do.
Google Chrome does embed Flash Player in it, while Firefox does not. Mozilla has also recently started blocking older versions of Flash Player in Firefox similar to what Apple is doing in Safari.
Following the 'clean install' instructions should result in you having the latest version of Flash Player installed that will not be blocked by the browser.

Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).

Adobe Flash 10.3 Needs Reinstall in IE 7,8,9, and Safari

Browsers are 32 bit. I've tried IE 9, 8, and even 7, and Safari. Working with Vista. Am prompted to download latest flash. Do so. Works fine. Next time I restart my computer, same problem. Under Programs, I show Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X with a white box next to it as opposed to the red icon.
I've uninstalled Flash from the Control Panel. I've download flash installer to the desk top and tried it that way. I've checked in Explorer Tools Manage Add Ons. Flash is not listed, but Shockwave is enabled, as is Java. I've installed the latest version of Shockwave. I've enabled active scripting under Internet and Trusted sites.
Help! I shouldn't need a tech degree to use Flash!
P.S. There was an Adobe Flash link listed to fix this problem, but the link is no longer there.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

You need to be more specific; is Shockwave Flash Object showing, and is it enabled?

OS 10.5.8 was the LAST "Universal Binary" OS that Mac released. It could be run on PPC or Intel Macs.
You can use Flash, but NOT the current version. Flash Player 10.3.183.90 is the latest version that will run with 10.5.8.
Apple ended all support for ALL PowerPC hardware and software just over four years ago, so there will be no further development of ANY apps that run with PowerPC Macs, from ANY developer.

Flash Player 9 not working on Mac OS X (Firefox and Safari)

Hello,
I run an Intel-based Mac with Mac OS X 10.4.9. Latest Firefox
(2.0.0.4) and Safari browsers.
Everything seems to be fine when I install Flash Player 9.
Until the install software brings up my default browser (Firefox)
to "adobe's successful installation screen" where I don't get the
message, rather I get the message I must install Flash Player...
and there we go again.
I've tried installing it 3 times, rebooting everytime;
I tried uninstalling it, reboot, and installing it again X2;
Now I don't know what to do... can anyone help me please?
Thank you!!

manually, which takes me back to the original download page. i have
tried untinstalling, restarting, changing internet plug.

When I try to use Safari, I get a screen flash and then it closes. How can I fix this?

When I try to use Safari, I get a screen flash and then it closes. How can I fix this?

1. Double-click the Home button to close all Inactive Apps in Task Bar
2. Hold the Apps in Task Bar down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close Apps
4. Tap center of screen to return to Home Screen
5. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider

Safari, DIVs over Flash and any dynamic CSS.

Having done my research it appears there is a bug that has been around for a while that remains unfixed. I was hoping the recent update 2.0.1 may have resolved this issue.
This is unique to Safari. While 'Window Mode' and using 'z-index' enables you to overlay a div layer in other browsers, it doesn't fully work in Safari. For sure, the functionality was added, but any dynamic interaction, for example CSS roll-over, makes the background Flash jump to the foreground. Lots of flashing and flickering. Other than that we love Safari, just a shame it has taken so long to fix this since version 1. Any idea when this will be fixed?

I have also had difficulty with flash and CSS layers in Safari. The on(release) action of some buttons in a flash movie I was working on would not function; however, the animated "over" states would function. The site's php/css programmer removed a css layer that was BEHIND the flash file and the functionality of the flash file was restored.
A fix for this type of behavior ( or a work around ) would be helpful.
Safari is a great browser -- an excellent gauge for global accessibility.

Safari acts like Flash and Java are not installed, even though they are

Even though I have the latest versions installed, websites viewed in Safari tell me that I need Flash and/or Java. I have searched the forums and tried every suggestion, with no fix:
• Uninstall and re-install Flash
• Re-install Java
• Delete the Flash player cache (~ > Library > Caches > Adobe > Flash Player)
• Repair permissions on the hard drive
Flash and Java were both working fine until the 10.6.5 upgrade. Flash and Java both work in Firefox and Chrome on the same machine. (Everything is the latest version.)
If anyone has a solution that will actually restore the use of Flash (don't really care about Java), that would be awesome! Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,
Install the 10.6.5 Combo Update.
Then launch Disk Utility. Applications / Utilities then repair disk permissions.

Safari Flash and Silverlight problem.

I have two large problems on safari.
1. Flash: Whenever I play flash, the CPU jumps up to 100+, and then it doesn't come down until I close down the video.
I have everything updated, and this didn't occur when I first got my macbook. Does anyone have a fix for this?
2. Silverlight: I installed silverlight, but silverlight videos don't recognize them on any of my browsers. However, on "Help ----> Installed Plugins", it does show the silverlight plugin installed, but the videos just don't load. I've already uninstalled and then reinstalled, and tried Silverlight 2 Beta 2, and Silverlight 1, but neither of them work. Please help!

These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, 3.1, 3.1.2, QT 7.3, 7.4.x and 7.5 and OS 10.4.11, and should also work with 10.5.4.
Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 11 (which is no longer in beta) for Mac from:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15540
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
Note that Adobe requires you to uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first.
Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player versions (v.9.0.115.0 and 9.0.124.0) in some cases conflict with Leopard 10.5.4, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1
You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed all the correct versions for your Mac of Security Updates up to and including 2008-005. (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
And now there is an additional kid on the block: SilverLight. Microsoft has created their own version of what a replacement for Flash should be. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards):
http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/
Recommendation: Close all applications before installing any of the above, repair permissions, reboot, and repair permissions again.
