Flash player won't play in Safari

I've just installed the latest Flash player on Mac 10.8.2 and when I try to play video on Safari 6.0.2, I'm only getting audio, no images – just a white screen. You can see the problem here: http://londonrififi.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/skunk-anansie-2009-intervie w-skin-and.html. I've tried uninstalling, re-installing to no effect. No problems with video on Chrome or Firefox, and when I uninstall Flash, Safari can play video. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Then just download from Adobe's site, OS X does not come pre-installed with Flash so if you're going to use Flash content you have to visit their website, download and follow the on-screen instructions. On a new machine chances are the caches are fine though. You didn't state that it was new so I had no idea. If for some reason you can't find the site it's

Flash player won't play videos in safari after I've installed Lion does anyone have a solution?

Hi,
I've installed Lion after which Flash Player won't play videos with Safari. I keep being prompted to download and install the latest version of Flash Player whcih I've done several times. Can someone please help me fix this.
I find Adobe's announcement that there are no issues with Flash Player and Lion a bit of a sick joke.
Many thanks,
Ian Pickering

This sounds like the problems that Adobe have reported which are listed at
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html#main_Flash_Player
I only use flash for watching video clips on the BBC website so haven't been affected by these other issues. The text below is copied from the website at the above link. Hope this helps.
The Flash Player Settings dialog box doesn't respond to mouse clicks. As a workaround, press the Tab key to move to the Close button and press the spacebar to close the dialog box. While not all settings are available, you can also use the Flash Player native control panel in System Preferences.
Custom native mouse cursors don't animate properly on Mac OS 10.7.

HT5271 Downloaded latest Apple updates that informed me old versions of Adobe Flash Player were disabled and advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before.

Downloaded latest Safari update that informed me that older versions of Adobe Flash Player were being disabled and then advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before. (Instead of opening, it comes up as a page of code).

Hi..
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Delete All
Now select the Storage tab.
Click Delete All
Relaunch Safari to test.

Flash player won't play on home pages

My flash player won't play on my browser's home pages. My OS is : windows 7 64 bit ultimate and my browsers are : Mozilla,Chrome, and IE. I have owned this machine since laborday 2012 and all of them worked in the begining. This has been going on for a couple of weeks and I would like to resolve it. Video works normally in places such as youtube,but will not run on the browsers home pages. The strange part of it is that it will run the advertisements,but after that is done it will just set there with the loading icon going for awhile until a message come on that states that the stream could not be found. I just got done checking each browser to see if the players are up to date and they all where current.. Don't know what else to try. Any suggestions ? Thanks

Flash player won't install on safari 7.0.3 any hints?

flash player won't install on safari 7.0.3 . I can download but the install stops at 50%. I have allowed plug ins.
any hints?

jabenn, I believe this to be caused by an issue with the Flash Player Install Manager, which Adobe is aware of.
As a first step, you could try removing it from the folder Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash Player. If you see a folder in that location entitled "Flash Player Install Manager", you need to trash it (you will need to enter and Admin password to authorise that step). This is recommended by Adobe. Now try again.
If that still fails, you can either follow the full Uninstall / Re-install process set out here: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1267823 ... or use my three-step workaround to save time, hassle and restarting. This starts at the scenario described in your initial post (i.e. a stalled installation):
Force quit Adobe Flash Player Install Manager
Locate and mount the Flash Player Installer disk image with Disk Utility
Locate the Adobe Flash Player installer package within the Install Manager app and run the installation from Finder
Hope this helps. Enjoy.
--- Those steps in detail:
1. Force quit Adobe Flash Player Install Manager
Press these three keys together: Cmd + Option (or Alt) + esc
Select Adobe Flash Player Install Manager in the popup window titled "Force Quit Applications"
Hit return or click the button labelled "Force Quit"
2. Locate and mount the Flash Player Installer disk image with Disk Utility
Open Disk Utility (in Applications/Utilities folder or find it with Spotlight)
On the left hand side, your attached drives and mounted volumes are listed above a horizontal line. Below that line you should see one or more disk images (named e.g. something.dmg). These are recently accessed disk images - including one containing the adobe updater.
At or near the bottom of that list you should see something called decryptedFile.dmg
Under that you might see a (greyed out) volume image called Flash Player
Double click decryptedFile.dmg (or the Flash Player volume if you can see it - it makes no difference).
This should mount a volume titled "Flash Player" and automatically open a finder window showing the contents.
The volume "Flash Player" will show up in your Finder sidebar and on your desktop (unless you've chosen not to show External Disks in Finder preferences)
3. Locate the Adobe Flash Player installer package and run the installation from Finder
You should by now have a Finder window open showing the contents of the volume "Flash Player". If not, open a new Finder window and click on Flash Player in the sidebar. The sole contents are an app called Install Adobe Flash Player.
Right click the item "Install Adobe Flash Player" and select "Show Package Contents" from the contextual menu that appears.
This opens a new window showing a folder called "Contents". Open it by double clicking to reveal the contents including a folder called "Resources".
Locate and open the folder "Resources" and look for a file called Adobe Flash Player ("Adobe Flash Player.pkg")
This is the Installer Package for the update. Double Click it.
Don't be put off by the words "Welcome to the Adobe Flash Player Installer" - this is not the Adobe Flash Install Manager (the one that failed you earlier) this is Apple's "Installer" app.
Follow the steps to the end then eject the volume Flash Player in the normal way (e.g. Finder sidebar)
Open the Flash Player control panel to check the current version has now been updated.
Don't be put off by "PPAPI Plug-in is not installed" - you can ignore it.
Some steps may go differently if you are running a different version of Mac OS X ( I use 10.6.8 and wrote my guide accordingly).

HT3810 adobe flash player won't install on safari 10.6.8

I have uninstalled adobe, cleared the downloads in finder, reinstalled adobe, and cleared the cache, cookies in safari.
Adobe won't run in Firefox either.
Correction: I can install adobe flash player on both safari and firefox, but when I try to play a youtube video, I get a message saying I have to install adobe flash player. I don't know what else to do.
Lastly, some forms won't open when I click on them. I get a dark grey page.

Flash Video Won't Play in Safari

Every-time I visit the Carolina Panther's website, I have noticed that the multimedia video doesn't play. Also, I have the most recent Flash Player version. What gives?

It doesn't play for me either. Also, the site makes my processor jump considerably in temperature. - all signs of poor coding on the site. When I tried the site on Camino, a prompt appeared for a download of Windows Media Player 11. So, in addition to poor coding, the page is oriented to Windows PC platform.
Since you have an Intel machine, if you have installed Windows XP or Vista on your machine, you'll be able to play the video content there.

Flash Player won't play videos in Chrome

Hello,
I installed FlashPlayer 17.0 and when I load a video, I get a black screen (a right-click shows "animation not loaded"). I submitted a bug in the database but it hasn't been checked. My graphic card drivers are up to date and I precise that I could watch Flash Player videos before. What could be the cause of this?
Thanks,
Mark

OS: Windows 7 64 bit
Browser: Chrome (latest version)
Flash Player: 17 (latest version)
For instance, when I load the following page, the video won't show:
Ce cycliste au bord du précipice va vous faire froid dans le dos... Le Zapping web !
There isn't any error message as I explained in my message above.

Flash player won't play CNN video

Please help, I'm at my wits end. I've been working on this issue for a few weeks. I have Win7 / IE8 / FP 11.3.300.270
The problem is my flash player simply refuses to play videos from CNN. Everything else works fine. I've uninstalled and installed at least 100 times-nothing. I've set and reset all the settings suggested by Adobe.com-nothing. I've read and re-read forums in Google, Adobe and anything else I can find on the 'net-nothing.
This has become increasingly frustrating. Please help!!

I see the player open and all the periphreals load then I get a red circle in the middle of the player that says loading. When that stops the screen is just black-no video or sound...

Flash Player won't play

I have flash player 9 installed. When I try to watch the full
episodes of south park at
http://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/
The flash player loads but doesn't play. Also, I'm not sure if this
has anything to do with it but, the advertisements on the main page
of southparkstudios.com don't load, it just says "Internet Explorer
cannot display the webpage", and I believe they are also run with
flash. Also, the flash clips on the main page work just not the
full episode player.

You probably have the newest versions what you have to do is
'upgrade' their upgrade by getting an older version.
First do a full uninstall with this tool from adobe.
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
Then install an older version
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266
I suggest Flash Player 9 Release 45.
I had version 9.0.124.0 and had many problems with it, mainly
with streams.

Try deleting Flash cookies.

If that doesn't help, UNinstall the old Flash plugin first, then reinstall new.

Flash Player won't open

I have tried downloading Flash Player version 16.0.0.235 on my Mac version 10.8.5 with Safari version 6.2.2 and whenever I download it it tries opening it in MATLAB and won't allow it to be opened with any other application. It is not a .dmg file when I download it, it is a .mdlp. I am not sure what to do in order to get the right installer download. Any ideas?

Flash Player can only play Flash content, not create SWF files. You will need Flash Builder or Flash Professional for that.
