Flash Nightmares on Safari. . .Help!

This all started rather simple. . . I visit a site of a client of mine that has a flash video that was not working on my Safari but did work on Firefox. I also had a SIMBL error come up every time I opened Safari which started I'm guessing either when I upgraded to Safari 3 or when I installed Adobe CS3 Web Design. I figured it was all related.
So it was suggested I try to reinstall the latest Flash Player. I got the "Access Denied Error. . . You do not have enough access privileges for this installation". Went to Adobe. It said to uninstall Flash, Repair disk permissions, restart and install Flash Player. I did all that and again I got the same Access Denied Error. But now when I go to any site that has Flash, I get "Safari cannot find the internet plug in - "The page “BlahBlah” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type."
I am now Flashless both on Safari and Firefox which is not good because I design flash into web sites and can't test them.
I don't have time for this mess! Monday is the first day of my Nightmare week. That would make this a nightmare in a nightmare. . . HELP!!!

While Starman does his midnight surfing (he probably calls it sleep), allow me to drop in with my 2 cents' worth!
Despite the fact that you seemingly don't actually have Flash installed, as evidenced by those two files not being found (and they should be in the Internet Plugins Folder on your main hard drive, not in the one in your home account), try this:
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.)
After installation you should repair permissions and restart.

Cannot upgrade Flash Player via Safari - help!

Good evening Mac Bods.
My PowerMac G5 2.5Ghz is running OS 10.3.7 Panther with Safari. I cannot watch any Flash videos (You Tube etc) and wanted to upgrade from Flash Player 7 to Flash Player 9 but after I use the uninstall, all new installations fail - message says "Verification failed". How do I fix this please? Any ideas gratefully received.

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.
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.

Uninstall the old Flash plugin versions > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
And turn OFF Extensions in Sarfari > Prerferences > Extensions. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

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:

Flash Nightmares. . .Access denied

This all started rather simple. . . I visit a site of a
client of mine that has a flash video that was not working on my
Safari but did work on Firefox. It was suggested I try to reinstall
the latest Flash Player. So I did and I got the "Access Denied
Error. . . You do not have enough access privileges for this
installation". Went to Adobe. It said to uninstall Flash, Repair
disk permissions, restart and install Flash Player. I did all that
and again I got the same Access Denied Error. But now when I go to
any site that has Flash, I get "Safari cannot find the internet
plug in - "The page “BlahBlah” has content of MIME type
“application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you don’t
have a plug-in installed for this MIME type."
I am now Flashless both on Safari and Firefox which is not
good because I design flash into web sites and can't test them.
I double checked to make sure I have permission on my a Home
account. I tried reinstalling at least 3 times with the same error.
I am on a MacBookPro 2Gigs and have CS3 Web Design installed.
On a scale of 1-10 in Computer Knowledge I am about 6.
Your help would be appreciated

I fixed it using a work around that I got from a guy in the
Safari Forum at Apple who had the same problem.
He wrote:
"Open a new finder window and locate the internet plug-ins
folder, you'll see probably two, one in "Library" and the other
under "Admin" if you find both, try to leave both windows open,
Try to install Flash Player 9 and notice that there's some
movement on those folders, installer will delete the older flash
player to replace it with the new, but after installing the files
it tells you about the error message, and when you click ok. it
deletes the two files and closes the window.
This is what I did:
Before clicking on ok I moved the new files from the plug-ins
folder to the desktop and clicked ok, after that I copied the files
back into the plug-ins folder and it worked fine."
It worked for me although I had to drag them to an external
USB Memory stick so that it wouldn't erase them.
Installing Flashplayer 9 using sudo is a bit beyond my
comfort zone.
Thanks for your input.

Can't Install Flash Player on Safari OS 10.3.9

Hi. I recently reinstalled my system software on my iBook G3,
and I've been trying to install the latest Flash Player for Safari
1.3.2 running on OS 10.3.9. Non Intel. I have tried downloading and
installing quite a few times. But no plug in is showing up in my
Installed Plug In window, and it's definitely not installed. I
tried running the uninstaller and reinstalling but I'm getting
nowhere. Can anyone help? Is there something missing from my system
that I might have missed when doing a reinstall of my OS a few days
ago?

Thanks Melophage for the help! After consulting apple care (for the 2nd time), we were able to resolve the issue without going to adobe tech support as a last resort. I used the uninstaller to be sure all adobe components were removed from my mac. Then, we reinstalled the OS (without erasing). Don't know why the installer was hanging on me, but the fresh reinstall did the trick and solved the problem.
I appreciate your insight again! Take care!

Flash 11 and Safari 5.1.7 on Mac 10.6.8

Does anyone know how to get Flash to work on Safari? I have tried following people's suggestions from various forums but it just plain won't work. Every time I download Flash, the next time I go to a site that requires it, it tells me I don't have it installed. I also tried FireFox and Chrome and it won't work with those either. This is a problem on both my desktop and my MacBookPro (just a year old).
Advice? Solutions?

Provide the details on what you did, with what, and from where. This cryptic statement is meaningless.
Step one: open up /Library/Internet Plug-ins and post the latest Flash Player version shown.
Step two: go to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.ht ml and download the appropriate Flash Player uninstaller.
Step three: go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and DL the latest version.
Step four: quit all browsers, run the uninstaller, and then the installer.
Step five: launch Safari->Help->Installed Plug-ins and you should see this:
and Flash Player prefPane should show: Plug-in version 11.4.402.265 is installed.

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

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.

Problems setting up my TC. Have just bought new iMac(OS 10.6.8) and TC. I tried to set it up. iMac cannot find it. I have tried direct connection with an ethernet cable to Mac or direct to my wireless router but nothing. Just a flashing orange light. Help for a simpleton please. Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
Hmm, ideas anyone?
