Flash/Java/Quicktime?/Safari Problem

Alright, I have this pretty large problem in my case.
I just updated to QT 7.3 and iTunes 7.5, restarted my computer because of the update.
& went on normally, then when trying to load a site like youtube.com (with its flash videos and other things)
Nothing shows up for things swf/flash/java based.
I then restarted my computer again, but the same problem occurs.
I have repaired disk permissions, but that didnt do anything.
I reinstalled flash and java. and 'Reset' Safari.
So what am I suppose to do now?

I'm having a similar problem ever since I did the 10.4.11 update. If I use the computer after having been in sleep mode all flash content comes up with a quicktime symbol and a question in front of it when using safari 3.0.4 and in firefox nothing comes up. The first time it did this a dialog box popped up and asked if I would like to enable quicktime to play flash. Enabling or disabling doesn't seem to affect the problem, however if I restart the computer everything is fine. I would prefer to be able to put the darn thing to sleep instead of having to restart every time i want to get online. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Flash plug-in/Safari problem - "Plugin - click to load."

Hi guys,
Whenever i load a site containing flash in Safari, "Plugin - click to load" will appear in the area of the flash. The rest of the site loaded fine.
http://img529.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture2sj2.jpg
I tried repairing permission, uninstalling flash player, reinstalling Flash player(latest) & resetting safari but that doesn't solve the problem. I read that there are some problems with flash Player 9 but have yet to come across anyone with the same problem as mine...so im wondering if the source of problem is the player itself or my safari. Flash sites load completely fine in my old Mozilla 1.7.13.
Pls advice what else can i do now? Thanks in advance.

Your first link looks like the correct Adobe download page for FlashPlayer, the second one does not.
But either way, it should not appear when you go to a page requiring Flash when you already have it.
Could the following be relevant to your problem?
From MacWorld Aug. 8, 2008:
Fake CNN news malware spreading fast
Over a thousand hacked sites are serving up fake Flash Player software to users duped into clicking on links in mail that's part of a massive spam attack masquerading as CNN.com news notifications.
The bogus messages, which claim to be from the CNN.com news website, include links to what are supposedly the day's Top Ten news stories and Top Ten news video clips from the cable network. Clicking on any of those links, however, brings up a dialogue that says an incorrect version of Flash Player has been detected, and tells users they needed to update to a newer edition.
One distinguishing feature of the attack, Masiello added, is the endless loop it uses to frustrate victims. If user clicks "Cancel" in the dialogue that prompts for an update, another pop-up appears, said Masiello, that tells the victim that they have to download it to view the video. Clicking "Cancel" there returns the user to the first dialogue.
"It puts you in this perpetual loop, so your only options are to kill your browser session or be brow-beaten into installing it,"
Adobe is aware of the malware posing as its Flash Player, and on Monday warned users to ignore any updates that didn't originate on its own servers. "Do not download Flash Player from a site other than adobe.com," said David Lenoe, Adobe's product security program manager, in an entry on Adobe Product Security Incident Response Team's PSIRT blog. "This goes for any piece of software (Reader, Windows Media Player, QuickTime, etc.). If you get a notice to update, it's not a bad idea to go directly to the site of the software vendor and download the update directly from the source. If the download is from an unfamiliar URL or an IP address, you should be suspicious."
People who okayed the download of the bogus flash.exe file, said Danchev, instead received a Trojan horse -- identified by multiple names, including Cbeplay.a -- that in turn "phones home" to a malicious server to grab and install additional malware.
http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?email&NewsID=22323
The latest development is this:
Computer security firms are warning about an attack that hijacks the clipboard where copied text is stored.
The attack puts a hard-to-delete weblink into the clipboard that, if followed, leads people to a website selling fake security software.
The code that inserts the link has been found in flash-based adverts seen on many legitimate websites.
The attack on the clipboard has hit both Windows and Mac users of the Firefox web browser.

Adobe Flash Player with Safari problem

Youtube says that I need to upgrade my Adobe Flash Player when I have already done so. It also says this on multiple sites where I can watch flash content as well. What do I need to do?

Make sure you are using the correct version of Flash Player.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
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 version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Note that the latest Flash Player update only works on YouTube with Safari in 32 bit mode - until YouTube correct this.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

Problems installing or running Adobe Flash Player for safari

problems installing or running Adobe® Flash® Player for safari when trying to install Adobe Flash Player.pkg it asks to quit Dash Board client then brings up Exclamation mark up and quits install ??????

Adobe Flash is pretty much a 32-bit application. You may be able to fix the problem by going into your Applications folder, and right-clicking on Safari. There is a check box that will allow you to run Safari in 32-bit mode. Try that and see if Flash works in Safari.
I have retired my iMac, and have an HP now, but a friend helped me with the same problem when I upgraded to Snow Leopard. My PC seems to have just one 64-bit browser, that being Internet Explorer. I am using IE9 Beta in 64-bit, and the Beta for Flash "Square" in 64-bit seems to work fine. See link below:

Problem updating Adobe Flash Player with Safari

Hello!
I'm trying to update Adobe Flash Player using Safari on a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.10.1 but every time I download the update the file looks like this:
and when I try to start the installation this window appears:
I tried several different download links but non of them worked. I also uninstalled the Adobe Flash Player and tried to reinstall it but then I have the same problem. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!

For some reason that I have yet to determine, people with Matlab installed start getting .mdlp extensions appended to their downloaded files. That's what happened here. Rename the file to remove .mdlp (so that it ends in .dmg), then double-click the file and it should work.

Safari problems w/java, reading sites & cache problems.

A recently upgraded to Tiger about the time lots of people in discussions reported problems with Safari & Yahoo Mail. From what I can read it's something to do with changes at Yahoo & Java within Safari. I'm having trouble using Safari & my work site. After nearly a month working with IT, it boils down to the way Safari/Java are working. Yesterday Apple Care had me reinstall Tiger after trying to determine what software updates I had done. Checking to see if I'd installed the lasted Java updates. For some reason the update list showed only 2004 items. They had me reinstall Tiger, download all the updates again. That changes the update list although it didn't change the original problem with my job site working. So I have to use FireFox now.
However, no matter what I do I can not clear the cache. What I want to do is clear the addresses that are saved in the web addess list. I thought clearing the cache, resetting Safari and dumping the history would clear the address list. Yet, the list is still there. Any hints on how to do that?
Not sure if that would effect the way a web site is opened, but there should no reason I can't clear the web sites visited.
Any help for a newbie is greatly appreciated

ibosie:
Thx for the reply. Iv only been a Mac user for a year so something are somewhat new. One thing I don't always know the right term when explaining things. I checked about 25% of the addresses in the address field that come up as I type. Some web addresses I haven't used in months & months. So it can't really be an issue related to what's saved in bookmarks. What is even stranger is that they are still there at all. I clear the cache, reset Safari, clear cookies usually every 2-3 days if not daily. Yet, all those web addresses are still there. Am I right in saying that the addresses saved is the cache?
The webmaster for my employer seems to think that one reason I can no longer view the company site might be the cache. That instead of pulling info from the recently changed programme the computer is trying to pull info from on old link saved in the computer. In any case I don't under stand why those saved addressed won't remove.
Any ideas?

TS3230 I am unable to install Adobe Flash and Java. Safari quits unexpectedly. Please Help

Please help. I am unable to install Adobe flash & Java in my system

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Flash Player for Safari

I know doesn't like it, but I was forced to install Flash Player in Safari in order to be able to read the eedition of the newspaper. I also had to reactivate Java. Yet, the paper still will not download even though those installations were successful. Even though I can do it in Firefox without a problem. When I click on the link I am sent each day, I get the box that the paper should appear in, but the word FLASH in the middle of the box where the paper should be.
I have been doing this successfully for a long time with Lion, but I'm guessing maybe an update to Safari has created a problem. I don't know but would love to get this resolved if anyone has any suggestions.

Doubtful that the paper uses Java, but it almost certainly uses Javascript (which confusingly is something completely different).
Make sure Javascript is activated, but not Java.

Flash Content on Safari Stutters Badly...

I am trying to troubleshoot for my sister who has an iMac G4 800mhz; 768mb RAM; 64mb VRAM; running 10.4.10
Quicktime trailers play fine for her in Safari, (or on her desktop), but with Flash content, like at Youtube, or Comedy Central, the video playback stutters badly. I define stutter, as unwatchable jumpy video, and audio that plays back better than the video, but also drops out occasionally.
I've upgraded her to the the latest version of Flash, and that did nothing. I also downloaded Firefox, just to check another browser, and Flash content stutters there to.
My next idea, as a test, was to download a flash file to her desktop, and see if it stutters there without using Safari, and it's flash plugin, as the player.
So I downloaded a flash file from youtube, (by doubleclicking it in the activity window, which automatically downloads a file called, "get video," with no file extension, and a generic icon.)
I then added a .flv on the end of the file name, and the icon turned into a flash icon.
Now, I want to note, on my computers, when I add a .flv on the end of the name of one of these files I've downloaded from Youtube, when I highlight it in a finder window under column view, I see a preview of the movie, which I can play there. I can also ctrl click, and choose, open with other, (because flash player will not open an flv file), and choose Quicktime as the app, it opens and plays.
On her computer, when I highlight the same file in column view in her finder window, there is no preview visible, just a large flash icon, and the file will not open with her Quicktime app either.
Now, I could care less whether she can play the darn things on her desktop, though I am perplexed that I cannot. (I was just troubleshooting.) Btw, we are both using the same versions of OSX 10.4.10; Safari 2.0.4; Quicktime 7.2; and Flashplayer 9.0
All I want is for her to be able to play Flash content on Safari without the stutter.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for your reply.
I've been hearing nothing but crickets!
I guess it's just the old machine that's the problem. Thanks for the confirmation, -that you have had the same experience.
No wonder the "five bar," pros that work these boards have had no solutions to offer. They're usually, on the money.
I am aware of downloading the flv files and converting them with iSquint. I've told her she can do that, and while that would be fine for me, (though I don't have this problem), it's not a solution she is happy with. I use my activity window to find and download flash files all the time, that don't have a download link readily available. I suppose if she wants the vid badly enough, she will call me and I'll walk her through it.
She has been talking about upgrading her system, for some time now, so this will just be one more reason for her to do so.
Thanks again!

HT1338 Java on Safari 10.6.8

how do I load or upgrade java on Safari 10.6.8

Apple barred Java from running on Macs in order to safeguard users by blocking Java 7 Update 11 and adding it to the banned list in XProtect.
This was the second time in two weeks that Apple had blocked Oracle's code from running on Macs. The threat was so serious that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security had recommended that all Java 7 users disable or uninstall the software until a patch was issued. This time Java is blocked through Apple's XProtect anti-malware feature.
Java has come under fire as the means by which hackers have been able to gain control of computers. In April 2012 more than 600,000 Macs were reported to have been infected with a Flashback Trojan horse that was being installed on people's computers with the help of Java exploits. Then in August Macs were again at risk due to a flaw in Java, this time around, there was good news for Mac users: Thanks to changes Apple has made, most of us were safe from the threat.
Unwilling to leave its customers open to potential threats Apple decided it's safer to block Java entirely.
In order to block older versions of Flash, Apple has updated its "Xprotect.plist" file so that any versions that come before the current one (version 11.6.602.171) cannot be used on a Mac. Users who have older versions of Flash installed will be greeted with an alert that says "Blocked plug-in," and Safari will prompt the user to update to a newer version.
Macs running OS X Snow Leopard and beyond are affected.
UPDATE for those running Lion or Mountain Lion:
Oracle on Friday February 1 released a new version reportedly addressing vulnerabilities seen with the last build.
Apple disabled Java 7 through the OS X XProtect anti-malware system, requiring users to have at least version "1.7.0_10-b19" installed on their Macs. The release dated February 1 carries the designation "1.7.0_13-b20," meeting Apple's requirements.
Oracle "strongly recommends" applying the CPU fixes as soon as possible, saying that the latest Critical Patch Update contains 50 new security fixes across all Jave SE products.
Update for Snow Leopard users:
Apple issued update 12 for Java for OS 10.6:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1573
Note: On systems that have not already installed Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 9 or later, this update will configure web browsers to not automatically run Java applets. Java applets may be re-enabled by clicking the region labeled "Inactive plug-in" on a web page. If no applets have been run for an extended period of time, the Java web plug-in will deactivate.
If, after installing Java for OS X 2013-002 and the latest version of Java 7 from Oracle, you want to disable Java 7 and re-enable the Apple-provided Java SE 6 web plug-in and Web Start functionality, follow these steps:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559?viewlocale=en_US
Further update:
Apple issued this Java related security update No. 13 on February 19:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5666
and Update No. 14 on March 4: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1573
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5677
You should also read this:
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT5672
The standard recommendation is for users to turn off Java except when they have to use it on known and trusted websites (like their bank). Javascript, which is unrelated despite the name, can be left on.

Download Adobe Flash unsuccessful on Safari

My issue is that I click on the install icon and it says it completes, but it looks like it wasn't successful because there are zero kb used. Adobe Flash Version 16.0.0.305 on Safari Version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10) on mac. Symptoms are that anything after the first page of Yelp results can't be displayed. Yelp image just keeps spinning. I'm guessing this is related.
Yelp pages load OK when I use Chrome, but not Safari. Ideas please? Sue

I just downloaded the installer... took all of 3 seconds to download. It's only a 1.2MB file.
Check to see if it has downloaded it anyways. Should see something like AdobeFlashPlayerInstaller_17au_Itrosxd_aaa_aih.dmg if it's there, quit Safari from the menu bar, run the installer.
If it's not there, try a different browser. If that works, it's something in your Safari that's stopping it... could be an extension you have installed or adware.
You can also try a direct download from the Adobe site: (Under still having problems)

Quicktime encounters problem and must close. Sorry for inconvenience.

I have downloaded Quicktime now 3 times and each time downloaded it again after first removing it from the control panel. Up to a few months ago I never had a problem and used it for many years as such. I think the problems started when the combination iTunes/Quicktime came on the market but I might be wrong. I have downloaded the combination, then Quicktime separately and iTunes separately but to no avail.
I am an amateur in the field of problem soving so ask for your help. I have the icon sitting on the desktop but when I click on it I get immediately the message:
"Quicktime encounters problem and must close. Sorry for inconvenience." What I don't think I had before is the fact that during installing I say the Icon appearing on my desktop and immediately my computer goes black and start
a reboot. So I suppose my problem can be anything.
I most likely messed something up.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

What I don't think I had before is the fact that during installing I say the Icon appearing on my desktop and immediately my computer goes black and start
a reboot.
That's a bit disconcerting. Are you getting a flash of a blue screen as well?
We can make "hidden" blue screens stick around a little longer by using the following technique:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
Make those settings changes, and try another install.
If you do get a blue screen this time, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
if the blue screen mentions a specific file, let us know what that is called too. (exact spelling, please.)
here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:

HTML form over Flash bkd in Safari

Hi, I've got a site which uses an animated Flash background
element which is overlayed with a div containing an HTML form. It
works fine in every browser I have, except Safari. In Safari, as
soon as I click in the form, the entire HTML content of the page
disappears. The form and links will still function, but are
invisible.
Does anyone know about this problem? Is there a workaround,
or am I doing something wrong?
The page is
here.
Please note that the site is in a pretty early stage of
development, and not a lot of it works, but at least it
demonstrates the Safari problem.
Thanks!
Michael

i got someone to check on safari if their browser needed
updating for the flash plug-in but it didnt, still no luck with
this... I think I will try a few things and see what happens, any
other ideas though, I really can't explain why its doing
this?
