Flash Player and the PowerBook G4
Has anyone with a PowerBook G4, 1GHz powerPC ever had to download Version: 9,0,28,0
Platform: Mac OS X
Browser: Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape, AOL, Opera, and Safari
Date Posted: 11/14/2006
Language: English
“Macromedia - Flash Player” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available now from: https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer?
Did you get it to work! How did you do that cos I can not for the life of me get the download to work.

Hi Mbro88,
I posted to you in this topic thread, it is best you stick to one thread,
where there is already some troubleshooting/ advice taking place.
Double posting for the same problem can be confusing, at the least.

For some reason, the Flash Player on my MAC Pro stopped working, I've checked the install on my Adobe Flash Player and the are current, but the plug-ins don't seem to be working. Can anyone help me get it working?
It happened w/ my MacPro 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon about 5 months ago; tried everything I could think of including multiple downloads of Flash, and hadn't seen any solutions here. Adobe insisted many times that I download & update, but the newest vers. wouldn't work on the computer.
On checking Adobe/Flash was reading the computer as being an earlier model. So the new version of Flash wouldn't work w/ it. Snow Leopard 10.6.8 was being read correctly but not the computer model (can't remember what MP model it was reading).
Nothing worked. So -- a very old PC trick: If nothing else works get the hammer out and bludgeon it-- might work. So I reset everything by putting the Snow Leopard install disk in, held down 'C' on restart and let it run.
Didn't take anything off the HDD first, just ran the install disk over everything.
The experts on the forums are probably cringing right now & I'd like very much for them to jump in. Love to know how my computer model was being mis-read. All I can say is, for the brave and desparate, it worked for me. Something to keep in mind.
It helped that I had a new computer on order & have 2 backups, one being mandatory. Might work only the one time but worth a check.
Good luck on working this one out. -
When I want to play a video, it asks me to download the latest Adobe Flash player, and the iPad won't do that.
The iPad doesn't and never will support the Flash program. You will need to download and install a different browser like the aforementioned Skyfire. Photon and Puffin are also mentioned as browsers that support Flash. Or see if the place you're accessing that video from has an app.

I can't install an older version of flash player and the new one won't work.
I've read on the boards everyone says to run the Adobe uninstaller prior to trying to install the older version and I did, but the download still says it can't install the older version because it isn't the current version. And the current version isn't running on my computer. All I have is a black screen. I need the adobe flash player to for work purposes and it is really hindering my ability to function at work without it. Can someone please provide some kind of help that may actually work? Because I've uninstalled and reinstalled this several times. I have tried adjusting settings...everything I have found on the boards so far.
My experience (going back to a G5 iMac in 2005) is that you MUST install the lower version first in order to run two different versions on the same machine. I did it that way with CS and CS3, then CS3 and CS4, and later on my MacBook with CS4 and CS5. Now my Mini has CS5.5 and CS6, but I've always had to install the lower CS version first or the higher would keep the lower from installing.
So you will probably have to remove CS4 and then reinstall them both in the proper order.
Is there any particular reason you want or need both? In my case, I already had CS 3 and installed CS4 in addition, but later removed CS3 as I found CS4 was able to do everything CS3 did and then some. In fact I'm unaware of anything aside from some older filters that would run better in CS3 than CS4. -

Flash Player is free, and you might ask for help in Flash Player
This forum is about the Cloud as a delivery process, not about using individual programs... and as far as I know, Flash Player is a different, free, download

I was prompted by Firefox to update my adobe flash player on 12/23/11, which I did. Ever since then the web site has frozen and/or crashed. I run a internet business and can't have this continue. I uninstalled the flash player and the problems have stopped. I would like to reinstall the earlier version of adobe, since that didn't seem to impact the web site.
This is the flash player I installed on the 23rd - Flash Player 10.3 for Mac OS X 10.4-10.5 (Intel)Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.<br />

Flash Player and Bundled McAfee
Today I rebooted my computer after a Windows Update and got a dialog box saying that a new version of Adobe Flash Player was available, asking me if I wanted to upgrade.
I clicked "Yes" at which it took me to Adobe's Flash Player site and had me download an executable. After downloading the executable I double clicked it to begin the install. A dialog box opened up informing me that Adobe Flash Player was being installed. The same box had a second progress bar below the Adobe Flash Player install progress bar. This second bar was for some McAfee security product. There was never any prompt to ask me if I wanted the McAfee program installed. There was no check box to turn off its installation.
This was a completely automatic process from the point of double clicking the install file downloaded from Adobe - never pausing for any input from me until the installation of both Adobe Flash Player and the McAfee security product was complete.
I find it harder and harder to hold back my growing hatred of Adobe. I was among the earliest users of Photoshop and have always cheered on this company, stuck with it through various iterations of Photoshop, learned to love several other outstanding products from them including Illustrator, After Effects and Premiere, which I also frequently use.
But they are destroying all that goodwill they created by the shady practice of bundling malware like McAfee products with an essential upgrade to Adobe Flash Player. If I want to maintain security (of this otherwise very insecure product, Adobe Flash Player, I am required to update it to the most recent version. But doing so installs products like McAfee which I did not ask for and do not want on my computer, without my permission.
If there is anyone from Adobe reading this, please desist. Do not treat your customers like scum. Do not install software on their computers without their permission. This is a bad business practice and is destroying your brand, which has got to be worth more than however many pennies McAfee pays you to bundle their malware.
Thank you."The following solution involves the Windows System Registry.

This warning stopped me and caused me to turn to Adobe for
support. I am a home user and dumb. I have never backed up. I don't
know what a Windows System Restore Point is. I never heard of the

My problems began a couple of months ago. My wild guess is I
had IE 7 beta installed and your install program was not compatible

I can't access most internet pages because I don't have adobe flash player for my powerbook and the download doesn't seem to work?
The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to FP requireing an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I fould a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer anymore. Any ideas would be helpful thanks
Merely clicking the Preview icon in the Dock doesn't cause it to open anything, unless you had one or more windows open the last time it quit.
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.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
3. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
4. 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. -
I have an eight year old iMac running OSX 10.6.8 and just installed the latest Flash Player but the audio won't play on the youtube music website. What else do I need to update or install to listen to the music?
just installed the latest Flash Player
Did you uninstall all the previous versions of Adobe Flash Player? Did you repair permissions and restarted your computer after the installation?
Which browser & version are you using? Have you tried other browsers?
Please advise. -
My mac is the OS X 10.8.3. I tried to update the latest Adobe flash player and kept getting 'Actionlist not found.' I have uninstalled, enabled and disabled plug-ins and am still unable to download the update and now have no flashplayer at all. Help!
PS I'm still new to Macs so the more broken down the better.Adobe Flash Player 11.8.800.42 is the most recent version from Adobe. It is a pre-release version. I am using it without any noticeable problems.
The current stable version is Download 11.7.700.169. -
please help with blocked plug ins i have down loaded the latest version of abode several time and am not getting anywhere this seems to be an ongoing problem when i get updates from them
When you download from the Adobe site, despite the button saying “install” — it really doesn't do anything but download the installer.
Quit the Safari browser. Next to the Trash icon on your Dock, is an icon that is an alias to your Downloads folder. Click this icon once. There will be a list of previous downloads that pops up. The file closest to the Dock is the Adobe Flash installer. Click this once to launch it. It will display like this:
Double-click the red flash folder. This produces the following dialog — you select Open.
You will receive a password challenge. Use your Mac OS login password. You next prompt will look like this. Choose the middle selection as I have shown:
The Adobe Flash Player will download and install via a blue progress bar. You will need to click a Finish button, and then Safari launches taking you to the Adobe site to verify Flash Player was installed.
In System Preferences, the bottom panel now has an Adobe Flash Player preference panel. It has an Advanced tab that enables you to check if there are newer releases of Adobe Flash available, and it wil also fetch the installer for you (usually). The System Preferences panel, and Safari must both be closed for Flash Player updates to succeed.
Eject the Adobe Flash Player installer from your Desktop.
Once Flash Player is installed, you may need to open Safari Preferences > Security, and check Internet plug-ins: Allow Plug-ins. Click the Manage Website Settings… button, and then select Adobe Flash Player in the left panel of the pop-up. You want Allow set When visiting other websites. Click Done, and close Safari Preferences. -
I have the latest version of Firefox as well as Adobe Flash Player but the Adobe continues to crash. I even removed the plug-in and re-installed it and the plug-in will not work with any program. When I use a different computer Adobe Flash Player works so I am not sure what else I can do to fix the problem.

What's the Difference Between Flash Player and Shockwave?
Hi,
I was wondering what's the difference between Flash Player
and Shockwave? And how do you know which one isn't working? I
downloaded and installed Flash Player successfully but it did say
that the plug ins might be in another file and may not work
properly. There is one game that will work, but most everything
else doesn't. I don't get pictures (like adverts, ect.) in my
email. What is the problem?I have found this site helpful. Adobe has a "Test Adobe
Shockwave & Flash Players" site. Here is the address:
