Flash player not working on safari; any reasons why?

I just recently noticed that my safari flash player isn't working. As i was trying to watch some youtube videos, it keeps saying "Blocked-Plug in" when i continued to click on it, it then asks me to get the lastest flash player which i did. Even after downloading, redownloading and repeating the process, it still won't allow me to watch any videos. I've found some comments in here from the previous year with people who had experience the same things but their techniques aren't working either. Im just getting really frustrated and need some help. Fast

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.

    Enable Plug-ins

    Internet Plug-ins > "Allow plug-ins"
    Enable it.
    Click "Manage Website Settings"
    Highlight "Adobe Flash Player", "Allow" and then "Done".

Flash player not working in Safari 3.1.1

I just installed the Safari 3.1.1 (5525.18) update and I no longer have a working Flash player.
I tried reinstalling the latest Adobe Flash player (9 UB), to no avail. I even tried rebooting (out of habit from my Windows days) with unsurprisingly little luck.
Flash used to work in Safari before 3.1.1. It still works in Firefox 2.0.0.14.
Any ideas? Is this a permissions issue?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Thanks.
No problems with Flash 9.0.124 here.
Do you have Case-sensitive Journaled Mac OS Extended filesystem? I do.
Because my friend's MB has Case-insensitive Journaled Mac OS Extended filesystem and Flash is working fine with 3.1.1 on 10.5.2. Also Adobe Creative suite CS2 programs work fine in her MB, but don't even start up on my MBP.
Just a thought.
Possibly. Did you repair permissions? If not, do so as any Flash install requires this step.
I have now. First I ran repair permissions with Disk utility, got some promising repair stuff like
18.4.2008 14.52.55 Disk Utility[282] User differs on "Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/Resources/Flash Player.rsrc", should be 0, user is 501.
Repair finished fine and Flash still didn't work. So I did un unistall with the Adobe Flash uninstall tool, a reboot (again, out of habit), a reinstall and a further repair permissions, again with a couple of User differs messages.
Yet, Flash still does not work.
Any further ideas? Or tips on how I could try debugging this? Console gives me squat.

Adobe flash player not working in Safari

I have never had troubles with Adobe before the most recent update to Safari. Now, I have tried to install Adobe Flash Player 3 times, and I still cannot get it to work. I can open up applications with Firefox without any problems, but this is annoying since I would much rather use Safari.
Any help with this would be Great!!

Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
You do not need Java to view Flash content. The two things are unrelated. Java should not be enabled unless absolutely necessary.

Adobe Flash Player not working on Safari

I am running Safari 5.1.5 on Lion 10.7.3. For about a year now, I have been having trouble running Adobe Flash Player to view videos. I can verify that I have Flash Player 11.2.202.235 installed, but on some (not all) website, most notably ANYTHING.yahoo.com, I just get a button to "Get Adobe Flash Player" even though I already have it. Flash-based ads work fine, it's really just for videos. I end up having to watch the non-working videos on Chrome where they work fine. Any insight into what the issue might be?

Hi Fred....
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the current plugin first.
Then launch Safari.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
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.

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 4.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
2. 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.
3. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:

Worked for me at least...
"I had a similar problem with a few image types. The fix for me was to go into SYSTEM PREFERENCES > QUICKTIME > ADVANCED, click on MIME SETTINGS and then USE DEFAULTS.
I dunno if it broke more than it fixed, but everything started working again and I've noticed no adverse affects. I think, for me, a recent flash player update messed up a few mime settings.
In any case, I hope this helps! "

Flash player not working. can't watch video and can't upload pics to facebook

flash player not working. can't watch video and can't upload pics to facebook

thanks for helping. I have windows 7, internet explorer. recently had to replace my hard drive, and compete reinstall of all software so still a few bugs on settings, ect. not seeing any error messages. video and uploading pics seemed to be fine until the last week. not sure what could have changed . I can still look at PDF ect, I'm not positive its the Adobe that is messed up, but the 2 things I'm having problems with, clicking on and watching video on espn.com and not uploading pics to Facebook, both just does nothing when I try them. no errors, just black screen where its suppose to play or upload. the trouble shooting for both sites say make sure to have the latest version of flash player, so thats why I assume something is wrong with Adobe. when I do the self scan from this site it says I have the latest version. my settings say the player is enabled
