Flash Player 9 and Safari MacOSX

Have you been experiencing inconsistent flash player
performance on a mac running safari, but works fine in mozilla? I
tried all the solutions out there, reinstalled the flash player,
reinstalled shockwave, repaired permissions, removed preferences in
safari and flash, none of them worked. Flash player would work in
some websites and not in others. If you're like me and all else
fails, check to make sure that you only have the most current
version of flash player plug-in in your internet plug-ins folder.
The adobe flash player uninstaller does not remove older
versions, in particular version 8 from this folder, so it seems
that safari gets confused as to which player is chosen on websites.
Go into your Macintosh HD / Library / Internet Plug-Ins / ... there
you might find two flash player plug-in files. Trash the older one
and keep the most current, at this point it's "Flash Player.plugin"
with the folder icon and version 9.0.115.0.
I hope this helps the frustrated flash player user.

Hi Robin
I noticed this too - but haven't yet found where they are kept.
I notice that in the Flash 'settings manager' the amount of used storage shows as very low for each site - it doesn't reflect the sometimes large swfs that have been loaded. Also going back to a page seems to make the entire flash content be reloaded again - which wasn't the case before, as I recall.

Flash Player 9 and Safari problems

Okay.... I'm sure someone has already written about this, but
I'm too damn tired to look very far back. I have been trying to
download Flash Player 9 onto my mac and it won't work. It displays
this message "safari cannot find the internet plug-in MIME
application /x-shockwave-flash"
I've tried several things and cannot get it to work. Does
anyone know what to do? This is driving me crazy and my daughter
just wants to go to Webkinz to play with her new B-Day gift!!!!!!
I'm relatively new to Mac so really don't know what to do.
Thanks.

Adobe Flash Player 9 and Safari Cache

Just want to let you all know that when the latest Flash Player is installed, the flash cache files are not accessible anymore from the tmp folder in the private folder of the mac HD volume. I had to re-install flash 8 to bring this back. Any clue what's going on here? Is this because the new flash player is re-locating its cache file to somewhere else?
thanks,
Robin

Flash Player 11 crashes Safari -help-

hi -i need to do some testing with flash player 11 and safari keeps crashing ("plug-in error")--i have tthe newest version of safari, Mac OS 10.6, Creative Suite 5.5... please help?

Hi-
I'm not at my computer now (the simple error report was "plug-in error")--I am using the Flash Player 11. beta, Creative Suite 5.5 (in particular, Flash Builder with Flex 4.5 SDK, along with Away 3D)--I would happily disable Safari as my browser (I prefer Chrome) but somehow on my new MacBookPro (OS 10.6) I can't seem to!--Even though I continue to manually set "Chrome" as web choice under "Preferences/General" in FlashBuilder it defaults to Safari...
Thanks, G.E.

Unable to install Flash Player. System is MacOSX 10.6.8

Unable to install Flash Player. System is MacOSX 10.6.8 with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Due, browser is Safari 5.1.8. Always quit Safari to install. Downloads okay, "Install" seems okay, but doesn't install. Have tried to uninstall and reinstall (download again from Adobe) but still doesn't work, can't view any Flash content online. There is NO Flash Player in my Applications, and I've followed all the help tutorials on Adobe. HELP! This all began months ago when I chose to "upgrade"my Flash to the latest version.

What error messages are you getting when you see that it's not installing? Can you check your /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ folder to see if you have any files in there with "flash" in the filename? I'd also recommend verifying that you have "enable plug-ins" checked in Safari's preferences dialog in the security tab.
Thanks,
Chris

How can I get serial numbers or the free versions of Adobe, Air, Flash Player 14, and Reader XI Pro

How can I get serial numbers or the free versions of Adobe, Air, Flash Player 14, and Reader XI Pro that I had installed on my computer before Microsoft crashed my computer and I had to do a fresh install? I finished reinstalling Win 8.1Pro on my computer thanks to Microsoft Lvl 1 Techies corrupting my Command Structure so nothing would work. I had recently taken a picture of my installed programs (control panel, uninstall programs list) so that I would be able to reinstall everything I needed. I can't seem to find an email for the Reader which I remember paying for, the others I believe were free installs. Can anyone help me out.

Safari Version 5.0.5 < from your first post
5.0.5 is an outdated version of Safari.
There is an update available for Safari for version 5.1.1
That may help.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen the click Software Update
Restart your Mac after the updates are installed.
Try full screen ...
If you have problems using Software Update from the menu you can use the standalone installer here > Safari 5.1.1

Need flash player 8 and java script enabled to play videos on ipad, need help please.

need flash player 8 and java script enabled on my ipad in order to view videos. please help.

iPads do not directly support Flash.
You can look for Flash Browsers in the App store for some options to try. Support is not 100%, but maybe one may work for you. Browsers like Puffin, Skyfire, Photon etc...
IPads do fully support JavaScript. Just make sure its turned on under Settings->Safari->Advanced->JavaScript.
If you require Java, which is completely different to JavaScript, again there are some browsers in the App store that support it. Search for "Java browsers" in the store.

Unexpected behaviour for flex application running on Mac 10.8 with Flash player 12 on Safari

I have scenario here : I am running my flex application in my Mac 10.8 machine with Flash player 12 on Safari browser . I have a registration form and it is validating various fields in it and when I hit Continue button it is not navigating to the next screen even if all the fields are validated. This registration form is a Popup. Can any body help me with this?

No, the problem still occurs.
It's weird there are no plug-in errors or something.
With fp installed:
with fp uninstalled:
as a side note: a few weeks ago, I made a new clean Mac OS installation because of a harddrive replacement. So, the whole system is actually very tidy...

Do Flash Player runtime and AIR runtime work differently?

This question is asked as a follow up from a recent discussion, http://forums.adobe.com/message/6260447#6260447, regarding how getObjectsUnderPoint() works. The discussion was marked as correct as the answer provided by kglad was correct for the question asked.
But, the problem that led to that thread was not solved, as from the tests done, the issue was not from the method but from the runtimes. With the sample code given by kglad, the compiled swf file was working as intended by kglad. But the same code was not if compiled and packaged to AIR runtime.
Thus the question, do Flash Player runtime and AIR runtime work differently? Or again, that I simply missed out something?
*Edit: Anyone with similiar experience?

I'm also using Safari 6.0.1 and I don't have this problem, so I doubt Safari's causing the problem.
Have you tried uninstalling flash completely and then reinstall? If you haven't, here's Adobe's instructions on how to do so: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
Once you've uninstalled it, try redownloading and reinstalling again: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Updated to Flash Player 9 and now all QT content results in question mark

I recently updated to Flash Player 9 and now all quicktime content on the web, using Safari and Firefox results in a big question mark over the quicktime logo. I can't seem to downgrade the Flash Player, have reinstalled QT but not change. Any ideas?

Sorry, not sure how I got on iPhone discussion board. Thought I was on Safari. I'll repost to appropriate area.

Keep getting warning flash player updates in safari on my ipad mini. Help

What ever app(website) you are using is written in flash, and is not going to work on an iOS ( or many other) devices.
2 choices.
Get an alternate browser from the App Store. I hear puffin works ok. Will not do everything, so try out what ever you are trying to do on a free version before you buy.
Or
Many sites and special programs will have an app in the store to access their material. Look there and see if the one you are trying to use has one.

Adobe flash Player 12 and Silverlight update

Hi:
I recently updated to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (12) and Silverlight. Adobe is still saying it needs to be updated and won't let me run anything that needs it. My school e-mail uses the silverlight portion of this and crashes Safari.
How do I fix this?

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 7. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or reboot before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 6
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 7
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 8
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

Is Flash Player only for Safari? Do I need Flash Player for Firefox?

A Flash tip to help avoid security issues later: There are known scammer who fake a "Flash is out of date" pop-up that leads you to a site that installs malware or can compromise your private data. If you see a pop-up in FF saying you need to upgrade Flash, the only safe thing to do is go to this official Adobe site:
https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
and follow the downloads instructions there. It will show the currently available version. You can quickly tell what version is on your computer by doing System Preference > Flash Player and selecting the "Updates" tab.
Do NOT choose to update Flash from any pop-up. Here are several articles with more info on the "Fake Flash" issue:
http://www.thesafemac.com/?s=flash&submit=Search
Fake Flash pop-ups commonly contain grammatical or spelling errors. One common one is "Failure to install this update may cause your computer to crush." Using only the official Adobe site I linked plus checking your current version via System Preferences will avoid your having to figure out if a pop-up is fake.
