Error '"Shockwave Flash", but the plug-in failed to load successfully

Hi, some help please. I'm not very technical on macs so I need somebody to help with as much detail as possible. I use the browser Safari 1.3.2 but it will no longer display flash content, instead I get the lego box with a question mark in it and the error message '...“Shockwave Flash”, but the plug-in failed to load successfully'. I've checked some discussion threads but they are beyond my realm of comprehension - I am but a simple man in need of help. Please help. Please. Somebody...

Hi neonhook,
First of all, Welcome to the  Discussion forums!
"I am but a simple man in need of help."
Trust me, there are a lot of us around here like that
If possible, I would suggest using a different browser such as Camino 1.6.4 or even Firefox 2.0.0.x (but keep in mind that Firefox 2.0.0.x will only be supported fully using 10.3.9 until mid-December 2008 and Firefox 3.0 is for OS 10.4 and above only.
Both Camino and Firefox can be customized to look and feel a lot like Safari and have many features that Safari 1.3.2 does not. I use Camino and find it faster and with no crashes due to flash web content etc. You'll be able to use sites such as Google Maps again, etc.
Safari for 10.3.9 is no longer being supported and to use a newer version of Safari you would need to upgrade your OS to at least 10.4 and above.
hope that helps some and post back with comments and questions,
littleshoulders
PS. Please post back if any of the above information is too confusing as I do understand it can be.

On 6u13, new plug-in fails to load on Windows 2003 and IE7

I'm attempting to load an applet in IE7 with an OBJECT tag in Windows 2003. This is a mature product that has, for this release, moved from 5 to 6. The CLSID was changed from the CAFEEFAC one for any version of 5 to the one for any version of 6. Java 5 version worked fine on Windows 2003. Now, on some, but not all, of our 2003 systems the ActiveX control for the new Java Plug-in fails to load.
These configurations work:
- Windows XP and any Java and any IE
- Windows 2003 and Java5 and any IE
- Windows 2003 and Java6, old plug-in, and any IE
- Windows 2003 and Java6 and APPLET tag and any IE
This one doesn't...on some machines:
- Windows 2003 and Java6, new plug-in, IE7, OBJECT tag
This is not a security problem. If I turn off the new style plug-in in the control panel, it works. However, I'd really like to avoid doing this, as the new plug-in has much needed features. Also, the APPLET tag works where the OBJECT tag doesn't. I can implement this change if needed, but it would be fairly painful and I'd prefer to avoid it.
Does anyone know why this might be happening? Is there a good way for me to diagnose this? The browser is quite silent as to what the error might be.
I appreciate any help. This one is truly vexing me!

Okay, I'm wrong...I thought I could move to APPLET tags...I cannot. LiveConnect from JavaScript to Java does not support APPLET tags, only OBJECT tags. This makes my problem worse, as I don't have any recourse so far, except to disable the new plugin.
However, this did lead to a clue: disabling the new plugin caused it to work again. When the new plugin was re-enabled to see it fail again, much to my surprise, it worked! Does anyone know what flipping that option actually does? Registry change or something else?

Plug-In Failed to Load?

When I try to run the i phone promo piece, I get this message:
The page “Apple - iPhone - A Guided Tour - Medium” attempted to load an Internet plug-in named “QuickTime Plug-In 7.2”, but the plug-in failed to load successfully.
I've already install QuickTime 7.2 two different times, and I get the same result.
So, what do I do?

Go to Macintosh HD>Library>Internet Plug-ins and remove QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
Make sure you get the right one, ie the one with .webplugin file extension
But don't trash it yet!
This worked for me.

Solution to "Quicktime Plug-in failed to load" error

My solution to "Plug-in failed to load" error message when attempting to watch demo movie on Apple website (and others):
I found two Quick-time plugin.plugin files in my Internet Plug-ins folder in my
User Library folder. One was version 6.3 and one was version 6.5.2.
Removing the 6.3 version solved the problem. Removing the 6.5.2 version had no effect, so I removed it also.
Never could have solved this one without the help of Woody at Apple!!!!

Why not install version 7?

Plug-in failed to load successfully

QT 7.5, Leopard 10.5.4, MacBook, installed via software update, reinstalled with direct download. Any QT web content gets error message "...attempted to load an internet plug-in named "Quicktime Plug-In 7.5", but the plug-in failed to load successfully."
No QT movies on web load. ITunes store QT trailers don't play in iTunes. Downloaded trailers play in iTunes. Downloaded trailers play in QT player.
I've repaired permissions, reinstalled, etc, etc. This issue apparently has happened to others. Any solutions?

Yes, I've run the gamut.
I'm not new to the dance. I wouldn't normally even download the app directly, but it seemed a logical approach to sidestep anything software update might introduce. I have several (>10) Macs of all flavors -- this is the only one exhibiting this issue. Leopard was cleanly installed. User data imported from G4 iBook via FireWire using the OS installation dialogue. Again, something that's worked fine in the past, even from G4 to Intel flavor.

Plug-in failed to load successfully - QuickTime Plug-In 7.2

When I try to open Steve Jobs' Quicktime presentation, I get the following error message:
*The page “Apple - QuickTime - September 2007 Keynote Address” attempted*
*to load an Internet plug-in named “QuickTime Plug-In 7.2”, but the plug-in*
*failed to load successfully.*

I have exactly the same problem, just bought a new iMax 24" 2.8Ghz and bingo cant view any trailers off the Apple site.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

Photoshop CS4 for Mac What can cause the error: Plug-in failed to load - NO VERSION

With Photoshop CS4 for Mac I install the Kodak Plug-in DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional v2.1.0. When Photoshop starts I get an error:
Plug-ins that failed to load:
   DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional v2.1.0 NO VERSION - - from the file “DigitalAIRProv2.plugin”Flash:
   Connections
   Kuler
This plug-in works fine on my Mac Pro with Photoshop CS4 and OS 10.6 but fails on a new Macbook Air.
Reinstalling the plug-in did not make any difference. What can cause this error?

Thanks Chris, That was my first thought too but this same plug-in works on another installation of CS4. This is a Mac installation and the plug-in is Universal so it should work. Is there any other possible cause for this error? Would Photoshop refuse to load a plug-in in a low memory situation?
Also, The Flash extensions:Connections and Kuler are working OK, I just copied a little more out of the System Info report than I needed to.

Shockwave Plug-ins failed to load successfully?

I am going crazy tryin to figure out why safari hasn't been able to load shockwave plug-ins, it never use to have this problem before and now every time a new page opens, safari pops up a window saying that the plug-ins haven't loaded success fully. This effects the video and audio features that usually work. I have already checked the security preferences and everything is enabled. If any one knows anything about this or how i can solve this problem, PLEASE let me know! thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Have you tried reinstalling the plug-in? To do so, go to your Internet Plug-ins folder (either in your main or User Library) and remove NP-PPC-Dir-Shockwave. If neither Library has Shockwave, then you've found your problem. In either case, a fresh version is available here..
Also, sometimes, two Shockwave plug-ins are unintentionally installed, one in each Library. If so, remove one of them, as they would conflict. Then try a Shockwave site again. If no go, reinstall as above.

Flash Pro CS6 fails to load

Flash Pro CS6 loads and suddenly disappear while "loading fonts". I found similar discussions, and their solution suggests to find fontinfo.txt and edit it, but i fail to find the fontinfo.txt but found a missfont.map.
Help needed, thanks in advance..

Hi,
The fontinfo.txt file can be found at:
C:\Users\«YourUserName»\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS6\en_US\Configuration
Firstly, let me know if you are able find the fontinfo.txt file at the said location. Secondly, if you manage find it, empty the .txt file, save as Read Only (you need to ENABLE this option, not Disable as in your post), and then try restarting Flash.
Please see if it works for you. These are steps as described in the forum discussion Ned referred, and I would request you try these to see if the issue still persists.
Regards,

Flash Plug-in Will Not Load in OSX 10.6.6

The download says it is complete and installed, but the plug-in doesn't show up. Other posts say to reinstall SL 10.6.6, but I am a complete noob and not very confident that I should do this. Has anybody else seen this problem?

"The download says it is complete and installed, but the plug-in doesn't show up."
The plug in is in hard drive>Library>Internet Plugins folder.

Fails to load Quicktime plug in 7.41.

I keep getting the below error when trying to look at various movie clips. My mac will sometimes go to windows player but it will not play anything using quicktime.
Any ideas ?
The page “Apple - MacBook Air - Guided Tour - Small” attempted to load an Internet plug-in named “QuickTime Plug-In 7.4.1”, but the plug-in failed to load successfully.

These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 or 7.4 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5.2, but please see my footnote).
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)
In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2007-009.1.1, which also deals with the Quicktime/Flash issues you may have experienced, such as the '?'. What happened was that both Quicktime as well as Adobe FlashPlayer tried to play the Flash video at the same time. This no longer happens. (N.B. Security Update 2007-009 1.1 requires both a restart and a permission repair.)
If you get problems with viewing video on a website try moving this file to your Desktop:
Hard drive/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
and then restarting Safari. If all now works, you can trash that file.
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

Failed to load "QuickTime Plug-In 7.3.1", OS 10.4.11/QT 7.3.1

Attempted to access QT media via Safari in OS 10.4.11/QT 7.3.1 and received error message: The page “http://qtsx.odysseyisp.net/mps/Introduction.mov” attempted to load an Internet plug-in named “QuickTime Plug-In 7.3.1”, but the plug-in failed to load successfully. I do not know why. This works perfectly on my MacBook Intel but not on my iMac G5 or this machine. HELP!

Apple Discussions!
You posted a bad link. It should be:
http://qtsx.odysseyisp.net/mps/Introduction.mov
Since I also have a G5 iMac I tested the link using FireFox, Netscape & Camino-the latest versions. Sorry, I do not use Safari. Had no problems viewing the video. Sound & picture came in quite clearly.
Which version of Safari are you using?
Have you tried using another browser? If the problem only appears in Safari, it may just be Safari's problem & not QT.
Did you repair permissions & restart after you updated QT?

Plug-in doesn't load. Advice anyone?

The page “Apple - iLife - Tutorials” attempted to load an Internet plug-in named “QuickTime Plug-In 7.5.7”, but the plug-in failed to load successfully.

Hi Paul and welcome to the forums!
That QT update is for Leopard only and not available, as far as I know, as a separate download.
You can only get it via Software Update.
