  • Flash Player refuses to run, if outdated.  Can I change this setting?

    I work in a video production environment -- tonight we ran into a problem where a couple of live monitoring systems were not working because Flash refused to run; presumably, because it's out of date.   In this case, the systems are "Deep Frozen" (locked down, essentially).
    While I think I understand the underlying reasoning for this, it's highly disruptive.    Is there a way we can change Flash Player so it doesn't refuse to run if it's outdated?
    These systems are on OSX Yosemite.  It's possible it's not just a Flash Player setting, but a browser setting -- still trying to track this down.  
    Tips, pointers would be appreciated!
    Thank you.

    Yeah, that makes sense.  Faronics is really into buzzwords.  It was hard to cut through the marketing-speak to figure out what they were actually doing.
    The plug-in blocking technology on Mac is called xprotect.  You can disable it, which might make sense in your use-case, but it's typically a really bad idea for the average end-user.
    sudo mkdir /System/Library/Launchdaemons/Disabled
    sudo mv /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.xprotectupdater.plist /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/Disabled/com.apple.xprotectupdater.plist
    sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Delete:JavaWebComponentVersionMinimum" /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/XProtect.meta.plist
    I'm guessing that these files are mutable on the system and not part of the persistent snapshot, or I imagine that the blocking would have went away after a reboot.  I'm thinking that you can probably disable these and update the relevant snapshots to ensure that you're not picking up new xprotect blacklists in the field.
    If you're just hitting the same set of consistent local IPs for your monitoring backend, it might make more sense to preconfigure them in Safari as always allowed vs. wholesale disabling xprotect.
    Hopefully that's helpful.

  • My Adobe Flash Player no longer runs automatically...can anyone help ?

    My Flash Player refuses to run automatically, can anyone help? I'm tired of clicking OK each time I need it as I browse. This only started 2 weeks ago. Before that there were no problems so, I'm embarrassed to say that I must have somehow caused this myself. So far, I've gone to my "plugins" page and made sure everything is set as "enabled". I've gone to my Control Panel >Flash Player, but I don't see any changes I could make their that might help.  I'm not sure what else to do. I have Win XP Home, broswer is Google Chrome, Adobe flash player version 11.6.602.180 installed. I hope someone can help.
    The only extension I have enabled is Ad Block.

    I think I was just about to send you email about this.  Can you try the following in Chrome:
    1. Type "about:settings" in the address bar
    2. Click the "Show advanced settings..." link at the bottom
    3. Click the "Content settings..." button
    4. Scroll down a bit in the dialog that appears and verify that "Run automatically (recommended)" is selected in the Plug-ins section
    Thanks,

    The Flash Player is not running but it is there and it is enabled and Active X is not checked. The Player version is 16.0.0.305.  I have the latest ie11 and the latest W8.1. I have used the Adobe tool to delete the Flash and subsequently I have updated or reloaded Flash using your updater.  I have gone into IE options and insured that the settings are supportive of Flash.  The Adobe mini Flash test program on your site says it not enabled or Active X is enabled - not true - all is set as it should be.  I have gone through your forums but to no avail.  I've looked in MS forums but nothing that made any difference.  What's going on and what can I do about it?

    Try using Firefox. Flash usually works on Firefox when it won't on Safari. I noticed that the Safari does not show the same version as Firefox does. Iwonder if that could be the problem. Safari on the left shows 10.1, Firefox show 10.3

  • PDF error A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 10 to run slowly.

    When opening a PDF of a website using Acrobat 9.0 Professional, I am recieiving the following notification.
    A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 10 to run slowly.  If it continues to run, you computer may become unresponsive.  Do you want to abort the script?
    The error does not occur when viewing the live website from which the PDF was made.
    I recieve the same error when trying to open the PDF on other PCs using Adobe Reader 9.
    I have updated the flash player on each of the PCs as well.
    I am wondering if anyone has any ideas or insight regarding why I am recieving this notification.
    Thank you

    I'm suddenly getting the same error message, on a variety of web sites.  I'm running Windows Vista on a fairly high-end desktop, and I haven't added any new software lately.  This just started up out of nowhere.  When searching for this error message on the web, people are asking this same question all over the place, and no one has an answer.  Does Adobe ever monitor these forums?

  • Unable to install flash player. After downloading the Adobe FLash Player Installer and running it, a grey pop up window opens up but nothing is displayed in it. There is no progress bar or anything.

  • Alternative to Adobe Flash Player for Macs running Yosemite

    Is there a reliable and secure alternative to Adobe Flash Player for Macs running Yosemite?  I keep getting websites telling me that I can see a video because my Flash Player needs to be updated.  But I haven't wanted to install it as I've heard negative things about it and Macs.  Is there an alternative to Flash Player?  And if so, what is it and where do I find it?

    Being that Flash is very insecure, I've completely removed it from my MacBook Pro. The best alternative is to uninstall Flash from your system and download Google Chrome as it has Flash build into it and you're not vulnerable unless you're browsing in Chrome. If Safari is your main browser, as mine is, then you need to open Safari Preferences, go to Advanced and click the checkbox for 'Show Develop menu in menu bar'. Once you've done this, the Develop menu bar menu shows up and you can click it and choose 'Open Page With' and choose Chrome. It is a bit cumbersome, but it removes the vulnerability when browsing in Safari as many sites are now using HTML5. Hope this help.

  • "A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 9 to run slowly. If it continues ...

    I'm continually getting a "movie script error" in regards to
    a looping interactive. The following message: "A script in this
    movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 9 to run slowly. If it
    continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you
    wish to abort the script?" frustratingly comes up despite numerous
    startups and taking off information from the server. It seemed to
    occur slightly after uploading some content to the admin server
    which delivers the info to flash upon rebooting. However this last
    time it just cycles through a small portion frantically. How do I
    find out where the problem is and fix it?
    any clues?
    thanks in advance, Patrick

    Hi Patrick and welcome to our community
    What product are you using? This is the forum for Adobe
    RoboHelp. Your post seems to imply that you are using a Flash
    output of some type. Is it FlashHelp? Or are you possibly dealing
    with Adobe Captivate? Or maybe Flash itself?
    Cheers... Rick

  • Ever since I installed MAVERICK, nothing now works, Flash Player won't run, printer works but scanner will not and the computer runs so slow.  Any help anywhere?

    Ever since I installed MAVERICK, nothing now works, Flash Player won't run, printer works but scanner will not and the computer runs so slow.  Any help anywhere?

    wqn02h, first thing I would do is use Disk utility to repair permissions. Once this is done. Make sure you have the latest versions of the software you use. Also, check the manufacter of your printer/scanner for updated software. If they don't have updated software there are 3rd party alternatives that will work.

  • A script in this movie is making Adobe Flash Player 10 to run slowly

    How do I fix this? A script in this movie is making Adobe Flash Player 10 to run slowly, this is my problem when watching ABC tv shows.  I've got a 13" Macbook Pro i7 with 8g of Ram.  What do you all think is the problem

    I get this message which I interpret as saying what it means, the streaming/scripting is to slow to operate that site.
    In my case I was gaming(poker) I stopped for a meal and parked at the home page of the site (Skypoker) I went to rejoin a table and got the error.  When I picked YES the screen went into some sort rapid fast loop, when I picked NO it dumped me out completely from the entire site and closed it.   Now I have used this site with no problems at all, I contacted Sky support and he suggested delect temp files, history and reboot--did this no good.  I decided to do a complete scan just in case, no better.  I then decided to RESTORE by a couple of days, this worked but only the once, when I again left and tried to go back same problem.
    What mystifies me is nothing altered or changed on the pc or on the site (they asked me to make sure I had version 10 Adobe Flash).  So I decided do download again which I did but had no effect.  Clearly i can't keep on doing restore but why the problem have suddenly arose is still baffeling.   1. why bother with such an error warning if there is no solution or choice of causes to go through to investigate and or fix. 2. If speed is an issue at this point why doesn't the error quantify the problem or Adobe give us a device to measure the errant data stream instead of leaving us high and dry with an effect, probable reason but no supporting data.
    Sky appear stumped but obviously they are using Adobe on a commecial footing, I have asked them if they will seek support as so far there seems to be a don't care can't be bothered from Adobe, very disappointing

  • "Script is causing Flash Player 9 to run slowly"

    Hello,
    Ever since I changed over to a MAC OS X running Flash CS3,
    I've been running into problems. One of the problems that I'm
    facing is when I publish my fla file within Flash and view the
    HTML, it views ok. But when I upload my swf and html to my server
    my swf doesn't play and I receive a browser message:
    A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 9 to run
    slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become
    unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?
    My publish settings for my fla is:
    Version: Flash Player 8 (even if I change this version to
    Flash Player 9 I still get the browser message.
    Load order: Bottom up
    ActionScript version: Actionscript 2.0
    And I've also tried embedding the swf in Dreamweaver CS3 but
    I still receive the browser message. In the first frame of my fla
    file, I do have #include "script.as" and there are no errors in
    this script.as file. I initially created this fla on a PC using
    Flash 8 and now on Flash CS3 my thumbnail images don't show.
    Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks so much!

    Your loader is wrong.
    It seems that you try to load _root (the main/root movie)
    itself but it's
    not possible as the loader is inside _root.
    Content must be loaded inside a child movie of _root.
    Anyway, I don't think that it's this part that triggers the
    message as
    there's not loop inside.
    Don't you have code elsewhere?
