Flash Links in Safari

I have a problem with Safari and SWFs. In Safari, if the user
ctrl-clicks or cmd-clicks a link it opens the link in a new tab in
the browser. This does not seem to work for SWFs that contain
links. It works fine in IE7 and Firefox.
Is there a work around that I am not finding?
Thanks!

  • Adobe Flash Player for Safari

    I can't get Adobe Flash player to install in Safari 5.0.3. Please advise...

    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.

  • 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.
    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 what version of Flash player you actually have installed:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. 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/909/cpsid_90906.html
    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.

  • Flash player for safari won't download

    Flash Player for Safari 7.04 won't download. It's not an antivirus issue because it's turned off, everything is enabled.

    Chris,
    My problem was that while the installer downloaded, the installation process always crapped out and gave me this error message: "Error: Unable to proceed with the installation". Tried everything and none of it worked. I COULD download v12 of Flash, but noticed that it used a different style of installer that has a simpler, "chunkier" progress bar and overall look, and doesn't ask about whether Flash should check for updates automatically until AFTER the install was done (different from the standard v14 installer, which has a skinnier progress bar and prompts you about auto updates before most of the installation happens).
    Just saw your post, downloaded the installer from the macromedia link you provided, and it installed fine! Superfast. Done and done.
    In doing so, however, I noticed that the alt version of the v14 Flash installer from your link also has the same simpler, chunkier type of installer as v12. is there a know problem with the standard (skinny progress bar) version of the installer and Mavericks? This has happened before, and I'm now just realizing that the installs only ever work with the "alt" style of installer.
    a) Is Adobe aware of this problem? are they working to make a fix so that i don't have to pull my hair out everytime there's a new security update for Flash?
    b) Would you please consider posting your solution in a more obvious place? I'm betting there are a lot of other Mac users having this issue, but because Adobe help can be sort of a byzantine mess (not you, obviously, but the system itself) I'm betting there are a ton of Mac users that are just giving up, like I almost did. Making this issue known, and positing the alt download will save many people many hours of grief.
    Thanks for posting your solution!
    Cheers,
    M
    FYI: I'm on a MacBook Pro with Retina (original) running 10.9.3. I have a 750 GB SSD hard drive, 16 GB of RAM, and a 2.7 GHz Core i7 processor.

  • 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!

  • Can I use gmail as default client for sharing photos from camera roll or links from safari?

    I use the Gmail app for my Gmail stuff (my normal default email address).  I use yahoo with apples mail app.  When I try to send a link from safari or share a photo I have taken from my camera roll, it sends using my yahoo email.  I would prefer Gmail as my yahoo email is only around for fantasy sports.
    Is there any way to do this?
    I have tried setting up Gmail using apples setup in an attempt to make a gmail send only type of account, however it tells me an account is already set up, maybe due to my using of googles calendar and googles contacts?  Can't seem to figure out how to properly do this.  Maybe remove my calender and contacts stuff completely and try to re-setup the mail account (since I am using the gmail app, I wouldn't think it would hook into the native ios mail one)?
    Any ideas?

    Rock- I have google contacts set up as a CardDav account.  Apparently I must have had google calendar set up using the standard ios gmail account setup for mail, while just turning the mail function to "off" in the settings. This was why I could not add a gmail account...I already had done this lol.
    I tried a couple of things and still couldn't figure it out.  I can't add an ics subscribed calendar for some reason as it isn't enable to authenticate.  Nor can I set up a simple CalDav calendar, despite my settings being correct, it wasn't able to successfully authenticate either.  Or maybe it was "verify" and not "authenicate"...at any rate I coudln't do it.
    Maybe I am explaining what I want to do incorrectly.  I'll try again, though it is probably as clear as mud lol.
    I want my google contacts and my calendar.  If iOS handles this for me I am totally ok with that.  I want my Gmail app, which handles the bulk, or essentially all of my mail for me, labels etc, and I use it all the time...which of course I am ok with as well.
    I want the native iOS mail app to handle my yahoo account, which sees little to no email transaction from me. It does this well right now, as its pretty much only a seasonal account....meaning when it is fantasy football season, it comes into play.
    I want the native iOS mail app to handle any photos or links I send from the phone to give my gmail account address in the "From" part of the header....even if it sends it from yahoo's servers.  Preferably I would like it to come from gmails servers but I know I can't have my cake and eat it too. 
    The reason for all this is if I send someone a photo I want them to respond to my gmail not my yahoo account.  I tried setting up the gmail account using the native iOS gmail account setup, but what happens is that I end up with my incoming gmail in two spots on the phone, which I don't want. 
    If I could turn off incoming gmail using the native iOS account setup, this would solve the issues.  I would then be able to designate the native Gmail account as primary (for use as a send only account), and still keep the yahoo inbox going as well.
    Even if I went to extremes and paid money so I could forward my yahoo mail to my gmail account, thereby allowing my to remove yahoo completely from the phone, I would just be left with no option to send emails as there would be no default account available (as my gmail is handled by the app, not the phone).

  • How to clear shared links in safari?

    how to clear shared links in safari?

    Hi Dominic23, appreciate your answer but I am referring to LinkedIn Shared Links, does that mean I have to log out of LinkedIn account, is there another way instead to logging out?

  • Clicking on links in Safari does nothing

    Running OS 10.8.5 on desk top iMac.  Lately, today, have found that clicking ona link in Safari does nothing.  Simply stays on the same page I was viewing.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

  • After installing iOS 7.1.1, I can no longer send links from Safari using my Yahoo account

    I frequently send links from Safari, and as my Yahoo is my default email, it obviously sends from Yahoo. However, since installing iOS 7.1.1, those messages end up in my outbox, and I get a message saying "a copy of the message has been placed in your outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed." I am able to change my sending email to Gmail or my company domain, though, and the message will go through without issue. But changing the sending account to a different Yahoo account generates the same failure message.
    Is this a Yahoo problem (which wouldn't surprise me)? Or is it an iOS 7.1.1 bug (which also wouldn't surprise me)? Anyone else having the problem?
    For the record, I have rebooted the iPad Air 128GB. I have tried this on multiple wifi connections (AT&T Uverse at the office, Time Warner cable at home, blazing fast local fiber company at the gym). The only thing I have not done is remove & reinstall the Yahoo accounts. I thought I'd pick the collective brains of the community first.
    Thanks!!

    Addendum
    Sending straight from the mail client in any/all of the Yahoo accounts works just fine. The bug just seems to happen when sending links from Safari.

  • Copying links in safari in iOS 8 no longer works

    At first I thought it was me but no. If I try to copy a link in Safari using the Copy item or by specifically selecting the link and copying it I get nothing. I use this feature a lot so it's pretty annoying.
    I am running iOS 8 on an iPad 2. I am really not happy with the performance of iOS 8.

    I am not sure if this is the answer, but I was trying some things to fix some of the iOS 8 issues I was having. One of the things I tried is to reset the network settings. And now I can copy from Safari. Disclaimer, I am not sure if this is what fixed the problem but could very well be.
    To reset the network settings, go to Settings>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    This wipes out all the network settings, so make sure you have your network passwords handy.
