Flash Content In Quicktime

Just upgraded to Leopard. Can't get Flash content to play. Have tried removing preference files and changing text in files as suggested on other forums. What's the fix?

Do you mean that you can't get Flash content to play in Flash Player or the plugin? Or are you trying to play swfs with QuickTIme, or Flash tracks in a QuickTime movie? If it's the first thing, then hopefully reinstalling the Flash Player would fix that. If it's the second thing, then you should know that Flash support seems to be dropped from QuickTime, since version 7.3.1.
If you want to play FLVs in QuickTime Player, then install the Perian components, which just got updated today:

  • Quicktime logo with question mark appears instead of flash content

    since updating my system yesterday to OS x 10.4.11 i have been unable to view flash content with _all browsers_. *Quicktime logo with question mark* appears instead. Spent 4 hours trying every fix suggested by Mac forums worldwide - with no result. Took the computer to the apple store where they actually took 60 euros off me for NOT fixing the problem. Still cannot view any flash content. Any help would be appreciated

    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, QT 7.3 and OS 10.4.11.
    Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
    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/
    Adobe FlashPlayer from 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.)
    In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them).
    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.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    The world should now be your oyster!

  • Upgraded to Flash 9 on OS 10.4.11 -- cannot view flash content

    Hi All! I recently upgraded Flash to v. 9 and can no longer
    view any Flash content online. No error messages - just blank space
    where video clip would normally be. Shortly before I noticed these
    problems, I also upgraded Quicktime. I've seen comments online
    about going into System Preferences > Quicktime > Advanced
    > MIME Settings > Miscelaneous. I was told to uncheck the
    Flash in the list, but don't see Flash listed there. I'm not sure
    if there is some conflict with Quicktime or if that upgrade is
    unrelated? Any advice would be appreciated! Sue

    I am having the same problem. When I installed The new Flash
    Player it said it was installed successfully. But I don't see the
    movie, just the (F) flash logo. When I go to pbskids.org to run
    flash content, it says I need the Flash Player??

  • Adobe Reader cannot play embedded Flash content

    I don't know why, the Flash format was originally created by Macromedia, and then Adobe acquired the company, but the Adobe Reader cannot display Flash content.
    My PDF file is here:
    http://genifer.googlecode.com/files/agi-book.pdf
    Scroll to page 37.
    The original SWF file is here:
    http://genifer.googlecode.com/files/unified-AND-OR.swf
    which *can* be played on my Chrome browser.
    But when I embedded the SWF file in the PDF, the result is unplayable.
    A clue is:  Adobe Reader asked me to download QuickTime to display media contents.  So I downloaded QuickTime.  But QuickTime nowadays has removed Flash support.  Why did Adobe Reader ask me to download QuickTime to display Flash, when Adobe owns the Flash format?
    I have also tried selecting other media players in the Reader's option box (eg, Windows Media, Windows built-in, Adobe Flash, etc) but none of them works.
    I have also tried using Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.  Same result.
    It seems to be a problem with Adobe Reader.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Adobe Reader most certainly CAN play embedded Flash content, but only if you embed it properly.
    You're seeing a Quicktime warning because you're embedding the SWF as "legacy media" content - this is no longer supported for authoring and is disabled by default for playback.You should use Rich Media Annotations instead (embedding using the multimedia/flash tool in Acrobat 9 or Acrobat X).

  • No sound in any flash content

    Hi.
    I have this weird problem. I have no sound in any flash content. Websites with sound I cannot hear. Applications using flash player does'nt put out any sound.
    I have the volume turned up on my speakers and am able to listen to music from iTunes, also music and videos played with Quicktime sound comes out fine.
    It's the same problem whether I use Safari, Firefox, Camino or directly via the adobe flash 8 software.
    Could this be a virus or a bug in flash player? Is there some hidden setting I can adjust?
    I am using an intel 20" iMac.
    Hope someone can help.
    Thanks
    Vayu

    Thanks for your reply, but that is the version I have installed.
    I have version 9,0,28,0 installed.

  • Activate Flash Content in IE

    Hi,
    I have a flash content in my webpage, when viewed online
    particularly in Internet Explorer, it prompts for User Input to
    activate that flash component. I searched in the forums and there
    are few Java Scripts available. Few are only IE version specific
    scripts.
    Is there a common script / method to markup the webpage so
    that IE understands that there is a flash content that doesn't
    require user input to view or interact with ?
    Thanks in advance.
    amarnath

    It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
    several
    years ago to their browser, regarding how Active Content
    (Flash, Quicktime
    etc)
    is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

  • Flash content flashing and crashing mac

    Hello,
    Since the latest FF and Flash update (37 and 17) I can't watch any videos or flash content - like (annoying ad) banners. Everything literally FLASHES. Like a strobe light. Then videos get stuck, the cursor jumps/freezes, sound stutters and eventually mac crashes (panic). The fans are constantly hyperventilating but nothing weird is running in activity monitor.
    I have:
    * Uninstalled and reinstalled flash; same for Firefox; cleaned flash cache - nothing
    * I only have flash, java and QuickTime plugins installed
    * Downgraded flash to previous version (16) - better, no flashes, but still stutters and crashes after watching video for 10-15 minutes most (sometimes not even that)
    * Tried to watch using VPN but after a while graphics and sound go crazy
    * Decided to upgrade again to flash 17. Now it flashes again and I can't watch videos for even 1 minute.
    * Tried the about:config media.mediasource.enabled (change to true); dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode (change to false); Firefox "get info" open with 32-bit mode; - nothing worked
    What can I do? Any idea?
    Thanks

    mms.cfg = Flash Player
    Go to your plugins page. Set everything video to '''Ask.'''
    You could try disabling Flash plugin's protected mode. The protected mode feature of the Flash player plugin has security benefits, but seems to have compatibility issues on some systems. There is a new hidden setting for this:
    (A) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (B) In the search box above the list, type or paste flash and pause while the list is filtered
    (C) Double-click the dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode preference to switch its value from false to true.
    This might not take effect until all Flash has been unloaded for a few minutes, or you close Firefox.
    1) Enter the config by typing about:config in the address bar.
    2) Enter media.mediasource.webm.enabled and press enter.
    3) Right click on it and change to true, for some reason it is set as "false" which makes MSE & WebM VP9 not work properly.
    4) Visit: https://www.youtube.com/html5 and check that everything is OK.
    5) Try to watch a video. It should work now.

  • Flash content no longer playable??

    I've noticed all of a sudden that QuickTime no longer plays Flash content. It did until not so long ago.
    I know there was an option to activate Flash support, according to the Quicktime Help files, this is supposed to be found in System Preferences\Quicktime\Advanced. I'm quite confident it was there (I had to go and activate the switch when playback became optional, was it in QT6 or QT7?).
    It's gone.
    It's as if Flash playback never existed...
    The weird thing is that I'm still at 7.3.1 . I've seen enough problems with 7.4 that I decided to wait out at least 7.4.1 . I seem to recall that 7.3.1 was still quite young when 7.4 came out, is it possible that the Flash issue was introduced in 7.3.1 and I just didn't notice it before?

    My apologies - I overlooked that IS your thread!
    As for permissions:
    What are permissions?
    Every file and folder on a Mac OS X hard drive has a set of permissions—settings that determine which user(s) have access to each item, and exactly what that access is. For example, permissions dictate whether or not a particular user can open and edit a particular file. But permissions also determine which items the operating system—or specific parts of it—can access and modify, and which files are accessible by applications.
    What does repairing permissions do?
    The Repair Disk Permissions function—the process that actually performs the task of repairing permissions—examines certain files and folders on your Mac’s hard drive to see if their current permissions settings are what Mac OS X expects them to be; if discrepancies are found, the offending permissions are changed to match the expected settings.
    (In Mac OS X 10.3 and later, repairing permissions also performs one other, unrelated, task: If the invisible /tmp symbolic link—which is linked to the /private/tmp directory—is missing, the link will be recreated.)
    Why is it necessary to repair permissions?
    If permissions on particular files are “incorrect”—i.e., not what Mac OS X expects them to be or not what they need to be for your Mac’s normal operation—you can experience problems when the operating system tries to access or modify those files. For example, you may have trouble logging in to your account, printing, launching applications, or even starting up your Mac. Similarly, if an application—from Apple or a third-party developer—needs access to a particular file or folder to function, and the permissions on that item have changed in a way that prevents such access, the application may not function properly (or at all). The Repair Disk Permissions function can fix such problems by ensuring that certain files have the correct permissions.
    There’s also a security element here: Many system-level files have permissions set a particular way so that applications or users that shouldn’t be meddling with those files can’t. If the permissions on certain system-level files somehow get changed so that access to those files is no longer restricted, you’ve got the potential for a major security issue. Repairing permissions can resolve such issues by resetting permissions on those files to prevent unauthorized access.
    How do I repair permissions?
    The Repair Disk Permissions function is part of Apple’s Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities). After launching Disk Utility, select the desired disk—generally your startup disk—in the list to the left, then click the First Aid tab. At the bottom of the First Aid panel, click the Repair Disk Permissions button. (You could instead use the Verify Disk Permissions option to preview any potential repairs before performing them, but for most users there’s little benefit from this extra step.)
    Permissions can also be repaired via the shell (Terminal) by using the command sudo diskutil repairPermissions /. However, it’s unlikely that the typical user will ever need to perform the task in this manner. It’s useful if for some reason Disk Utility itself won’t launch, or for repairing permissions on a remote Mac when connected via Remote Login (SSH), but otherwise you’re just as well served using Disk Utility.
    How does the Repair Disk Permissions function know what the “correct” permissions are?
    When you use Apple’s Installer utility to install software (such as Mac OS X itself or an OS X update), the installation package (the .pkg file you double-click to begin installation, or that Software Update downloads in the background for an automatic installation) generally leaves behind a receipt—a smaller Mac OS X package that includes information about every file installed, including the permissions each file should have. This receipt is placed in /Library/Receipts. When you run the Repair Disk Permissions function, it examines the receipts in the /Library/Receipts directory of the disk being repaired—which means the feature works only on volumes with Mac OS X installed—and compares the information in the receipt with the actual files on your drive. If the Repair Disk Permissions function finds a file with permissions that differ from what a receipt claims they should be, that file’s permissions are reset to their receipt-specified values. (If you’re curious about the information contained in a receipt, the easiest way to view it is to use the utility Pacifist; simply drag and drop the appropriate receipt into the Pacifist window and you’ll be presented with a list of all files installed by the similarly-named installation package, along with each file’s original permissions.)
    It’s worth noting here that although the function is called “Repair Disk Permissions,” what is actually happening is that files’ permissions are being reset or restored to a particular state. It’s possible—though not common—for a particular file’s permissions to differ from what a receipt claims they should be without those permissions actually being “broken.”
    Are all files affected by Repair Disk Permissions?
    No. As you may have inferred from the above description, only those files installed using OS X’s Installer utility and whose installation packages leave behind a proper receipt in /Library/Receipts are affected by the Repair Disk Permissions function. This means that most of the files affected by the Repair Disk Permissions function are system-level files, application files, or system add-ons—not applications installed by drag-and-drop, and not your documents or other user-level files.
    If repairing permissions is useful in general, why doesn’t Apple recommend it as routine maintenance?
    Apple does, quite explicitly:
    It’s a good idea to repair disk permissions as a regular maintenance task after upgrading or installing new software.
    That’s taken from Mac Help—in both Panther and Tiger—right on your Mac. Similar statements can be found in other Support articles, one of which is:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751

  • Flash content does not work

    I have installed and re-installed Flash but no matter what, Flash content will not play in either Safari or Firefox. I get a semi-greyed out QuickTime logo with a white question mark wherever a banner ad or any other Flash object should be.

    You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

  • FLASH CONTENT PROBLEM

    Hi
    I have a dvd rom that contains flash content, the new version of QT doesn't allow to see this content now, what can i do to get around this ?
    Thanks for your help

    If the content on the DVD contains "Flash" video tracks you're out of luck as version 7.3.1 has removed support because of security concerns.
    Try the free Real Player app (it can play most QuickTime formats).

  • Flash Content Missing

  • Autorun CD-ROM with flash content on website

    I have two websites with Flash content that I need to put on
    a CD-ROM for a presentation on a computer with spotty internet.
    I've created the autorun part fine, but here's my issue. When the
    html page pulls up in a browser and the link to the Flash content
    is clicked, I get a security warning that " Adobe Flash Player has
    stopped a potentially unsafe operation." Everything is on the CD -
    nothing should be trying to access the internet - and I'm looking
    for a way to override this security warning without having to
    rebuild the flash files. So far, most of the info I've found deals
    with changing something on the user's computer, but is there a fix
    that can reside on the CD (so the user doesn't have to do anything,
    or ever see the warning?)
    Thanks!

    The basics of what you are asking is pretty easy to do in
    Director. To
    make a menu, just import your graphics including buttons.
    Create a
    frame label on the timeline for each video. On each button,
    add the
    behaviour named 'Jump to Marker Button' (it is in the Library
    under
    Behaviours, Controls). Pick the appropriate label for each
    button in
    the resulting popup. Then import your video and place one on
    each
    frame. Put the 'Go Loop' behaviour on each of these frames
    (in the
    frame channel). That behaviour is in the Library under
    Behaviours,
    Navigation.
    Depending upon how your movies are setup, the rest will be
    different
    (i.e. are the Quicktime, avi, wmv, RealVideo, etc?). But the
    Library
    has behaviours for a lot of them, and building custom scripts
    is pretty
    easy as well if you can put forth the effort to learn Lingo.
    It is
    actually among the easiest to learn languages in my opinion.

  • IWeb and Flash Content

    What is the best way to imbed Macromedia Flash 8 Proffesional content onto an iWeb site? It is a flash created coloring game.
    PowerBook G4 Double Layer 1 Gb 100 Gb   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Simple answer?
    iWeb only uses the QuickTime browser plug-in for any content and your files must be "Published" as version 5, or lower for the plug-in to display the .swf file.
    To use other export versions you'll need to hand edit (a pain) the published html file and javascript (.js) to point to your .swf file.
    Last point to bring up is that QT version 7.1.3 has "disabled" Flash Media (default settings) and each visitor must use their Sys Prefs (Mac) or Control Panel (PC) to enable Flash media via QuickTime.
    This change was done for security issues in Flash Media via QuickTime.

    If you have QuickTime installed, then go to the QuickTime control panel. On the Audio tab, set "Default Music Synthesizer" to "General MIDI".
    On the Advanced tab, disable "Enable playback of Adobe Flash tracks".
    On the browser tab, click on "MIME Settings". Under "Miscellaneous", make sure "Flash media" is unchecked.
    These are not accurate options on my computer (Quicktime 7.6.9).
    Under Default Music Synthesizer.  There is no “general MIDI” only option is “Quicktime Music Synthesizer”

    Browser Tab: "Flash media" is not listed under MIME Settings (There is no Miscellaneous)
    Check if the file msacm32.drv is present in the C:\Windows\system32 folder. If not, copy it from another PC (that has the same version of Windows) and place the file in the system32 folder. If you are using a 64-bit version of Windows, then the file should be present in the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder.
    Verified these files are here.
    If you are also having sound problems with other applications, then re-installing your audio drivers might solve the problem.
