I have latest version of flash but flash doesn't work in safari!

Why do I have latest version of flash but flash doesn't work in safari!I have flash for mac.Your help will be appreciated.

If you're talking about using Flash on your iPod, you can't. There is no version of Flash that will work on any iOS device. If you're talking about using Flash on your computer, you may want to repost in the correct forum.

QT Player doesn't function under Safari

I have a QT player running on one page of my site. It works in Firefox (2.0.0.12), but not on Safari (Version 3.0.4 (523.12.2)). Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks, for the quick response. I caught the Footer thing in another post, just after I'd posted this one. I'll play with the layout in iWeb, but can't republish until a hard drive with all my items returns from the repair guy (data is safe, but on the drive). As soon as I get it back I'll publish. Nice to know that object placement influences functionality.
And, yes, the right-click thinggy works. WOW! What a great example of lateral thinking.

Flash Doesn't Work in Safari - Need Info On QuickTime MIME settings I think

Hey Friends,
I just upgraded to Leopard, LOVE IT but some of my favorite sites now come up with a ghosted QuickTime logo and question mark. I've had this issue before with FireFox and I never figured out how to configure my preferences to correct this.
I think it has to do with my QuickTime preferences and MIME settings. Possibly my Safari preferences. Can someone advise the correct configuration? I would really appreciate the assistance. No YouTube+ No WatchTVSitcoms.com+No CNN.com=NO FUN

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!
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, 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
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!
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 doesn't work on safari but it works on firefox

I have osx 10.9.1 and safari 7.0 and i have downloaded and 'successfully' installed flash multiple times over the last few weeks. it still does not work on safari and every site gives me the message 'flash out of date'. the same sites work on firefox though. i need it to work on safari too.

If that's checked, see: How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X

Flash doesn't work in safari

When I try to play a video, a box appears saying the latest version of Flash needs to be installed. I installed it repeatedly, but the same message keeps coming up. The same video works fine in Firefox. Anyone know what might be wrong? Thanks for your help!

Make sure that box next to "Enable plug-ins" is checked.

Flash Doesn't Load on Safari

I am running Safari 4 on Snow Leopard and instead of loading flash, every time there is a site with flash all I see is a gray box that says flash which usually loads when I click on it. Flash displays correctly on all the other browsers on my computer and I have recently redownloaded Safari from the install disk. How do I get it to display correctly?

HI,
Since you have installed Safari from the SL disk, go to the Apple Menu / Software Update... make sure your system software is up to date.
Now uninstall and reinstall a new copy of the Flash player plugin.
 http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html  
When you are finished uninstalling the old Flash plugin, go here and install a fresh copy of Flash Player plugin.
  http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/  
As with any software installations, repair disk permissions.  
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
And try Safari maintenance.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Also... always a good idea to keep an eye on available disk space.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*

Flash player doesn't function in windows 8.1. all options have been exhausted

Flash player doesn't function in windows 8.1. Ive tried all the recommendations with no success. any suggestions?

Using IE 11?

Flash no longer functions on Firefox for my macs. I re-loaded flash by doing it from Safari. Used Safari to ask this quest since firefox uses flash for tho

I have tried everything. uninstall reinstall. I couldn't test for flash because the function wouldn't work. I uninstalled Firefox twice and uninstalled flash twice. I cleared history, etc. I called my tech support for my multiple listing service, since I can't even log on without flash. He checked everything, and told me he couldn't figure out why it is not working. the plugin for shockwave flash is there. I know flash is on my machine because when I tried to install it after installing it this morning, it said it was already installed with the latest version. Later on I uninstalled and reinstalled twice. Flash works on Safari and Chrome. Only Firefox has this problem. I am very frustrated. I had to use Safari to even use your "ask a question" since Firefox uses flash to ask a question!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!

Thank you. Here you go!

HT5655 Flash still doesn't work with Safari.

I've done this repeatedly. Flash still doesn't work with Safari. It does work with Firefox and Chrome.
I deleted the Flash plugin from Library>Internet Plugins. That didn't solve the problem either.
What can I try next? Thanks.

XMLhttprequest doesn't work in safari

i have a website and it works fine in Internet Explorer, but the website doesn't work in Safari.
i use xmlhttprequest to get data from the database and that data i want to put in an selectbox.
i have multiple selectboxes and the first one i don't use ajax to get the data and that one works fine. but as soon as i use ajax it doesn't work anymore in safari.
this is the function i call to get the data.
function UpdateOrder(custid)
      var xhrrequest = getXhr();
          // Ici on va voir comment faire du post
      xhrrequest.open("GET","ajax/UpdateOrder.php" +"?q=" + custid, true);
      // ne pas oublier ?a pour le post
      xhrrequest.setRequestHeader('Content-Type','application/x-www-form-urlencoded') ;
      xhrrequest.send("bedrijfsnaam="+custid);
      // On d?fini ce qu'on va faire quand on aura la r?ponse
      xhrrequest.onreadystatechange = function(){
       // On ne fait quelque chose que si on a tout re?u et que le serveur est ok
       if(xhrrequest.readyState==4 && xhrrequest.status==200){
        var string=xhrrequest.responseText;
        var array=eval(string);
        var tdaddress = document.getElementById("tdorderid");
        var selectiebox = document.getElementById("selorderid");
        if (array.length > 0)
         //selectiebox vullen met straatnamen
         var splarray = array.toString();
         var strarray = splarray.split(",");
         var i=0;
         for(i=0; i< strarray.length; i++)
          var oOption=document.createElement("option");
          oOption.setAttribute(i,strarray[i]);
          oOption.setAttribute('value',strarray[i]);
          var oText=document.createTextNode(strarray[i]);
          oOption.appendChild(oText);
          selectiebox.appendChild(oOption);
i also viewed the errorlog and there it said:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: DOM Exception 5: An invalid or illegal character was specified, such as in an XML name.
can anyone help me please?

it works. there were some problems with the select box. the way it was created didn't work in safari and chrome. but now it does

Why Position:Relative from CSS doesn't work at Safari 5.03?

If you watch my web page: http://clubdeleonesst.tk
I designed a ComboBox and have some problems with position relative. I used jQuery to create it, you could watch the original example here:
http://www.marghoobsuleman.com/jquery-image-dropdown
And I have been watching that the transparency from Flash doesn't work too. I hope you can solve these bugs.

The "disappearing" affect you describe is not normal. You may need to reinstall Safari.
First, try removing the Apple cookies from your Safari Preferences>Security>Cookies panel. Also, go to your Safari Menu and Empty cache. Then try to log-on to Apple Discussions.
Also, regarding the "disappearing" effect, try Safari from another User Account.
Here is guidance from Apple on how to set up the account. You can ignore step 7 in the article.
Also, on the system preference>Accounts panel, click on "log-in" options. There, select "fast user switching". This allows you to go back and forth between user accounts via an icon in your Menu Bar at the top of the computer screen.
Log-on to the new account and start Safari. If Safari is stable in the new account, then your problem is specific to your regular user account. Otherwise, similar response means a system-wide problem.
Post back with results.

Paypal button doesn't work on Safari. but works on Firefox

I have over 100 pairs of "Add to Cart" buttons on my website. One of each is on the individual item page and the other is on my Order Form.
I have one button that works on the order form, but the identical button doesn't work on the individual page when using SAFARI, but works when I use FIREFOX!
I have recreated the button several times and put it in the proper place several times, saved the changes and republished. Still it doesn't work in Safari!
This must be a Safari issue not a PayPal issue
Any suggestions?

Flash player plug-in causing safari to crash

Hello,
I have been having a lot of problems lately with the flash player plug-in causing safari to lockup and at times crash. I have gone to the adobe website and reinstalled the flash player, but it still is happening. Is any one else having this problem? It happens on a wide variety of sites, and not just one. Any ideas why this is happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Derek Osterloh

Thanks for the files, that was really helpful. Google Image Search doesn't use Flash, but we're investigating a couple issues specific to this Intel 4000 chipset that have been reported on both Mac (Yosemite specifically) and Windows over the last couple weeks.
It's unlikely that Flash is causing this, just because we're interacting with the GPU at a pretty high level of abstraction. My suspicion is that this is a graphics driver bug.
My guess is that if you disable Hardware Acceleration in Flash and/or Safari, that this will go away. It's not an optimal solution, but it should give you a temporary workaround and confirm that we're looking in the right place.
The video troubleshooting guide includes instructions on disabling hardware acceleration in Flash:
https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html
I don't see an easy option in Safari 8 for disabling hardware acceleration, so let's start with that.
