Flash problem persists after 6 months...does this new information help?

Hi All!
I posted my problem almost 6 months ago, (I'll paste some of the info below to bring you up to date), but I STILL can't access only FOUR sites because I get a "Plugin file is missing" error, (after my previous post I found 2 other sites). I've been trying to solve this problem off & on, but I got more dedicated the other day because I'll be needing access to these sites very soon. I found some new information today that I hope will solve this awful problem; however, since I'm not very technically inclined I know I have to ask a "Flash Expert", so here goes....
I run Windows 8 & I use Mozilla exclusively. I updated Flash the other day to version 15.0.0.152 & I wanted to make sure the plugins had been updated, so I opened the "Flash Player Settings Manager" & under the "Advanced" tab it lists:
                                        NPAPI Plugin Version 15.0.0.152
                                        PPAPI Plugin Version Not installed
Is it significant that the PPAPI Plugin is "Not installed", or does Mozilla only require the NPAPI plugin?
My second question regards the installation of Flash. I know that when a program is problematic, it sometimes helps to uninstall & reinstall it...I recently had a game that went nuts & that's the procedure I had to do. Also, someone on Mozilla's forum said they were having a Flash issue & they went to your site & downloaded the .exe AND the .msi Installers from the Distribution Page, then manually installed them & their problem was resolved. Would this help me resolve MY Flash problem? If you think it's worth a try, do I have to uninstall Flash first?
Well, that's all the new info I have. I have to figure this out before December because that's when the nest-cam comes back on...I really have to get this problem fixed! I'll paste my previous post below, but I hope the uninstall/reinstall method will be the answer!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Here's my previous post:
Flash 13.0.0.214 does NOT work on some sites, but works fine on all others in Using Flash Player
Hi!
I watch several wildlife nest-cams every day running Windows 8 using Firefox 29.0.1, but yesterday morning, (after I'd already watched the 6 cams I view every day), I started getting a solid, black screen with, "Error loading plugin: Plugin file not found", on TWO of these sites.
My attempts to resolve the problem were:
1. Checked all the other web-cam sites I view daily, and there's only a problem on 2 of them.
2. Went to You Tube, Facebook & other similar sites and I can view streaming media.
3. Refreshed pages-when that didn't help, I closed & reopened Firefox & still 2 sites with "plugin loading error"
4. Completely shut-down my laptop & rebooted.
5. Did "System Restore" to earlier in the day when ALL web-cam sites were working.
6. Went to Adobe Flash site & verified that I had the most current version...I do, & I saw the animations on Flash site.
7. Verified my Flash Plugins in Firefox...AGAIN...they're all activated & up-to-date
8. Checked & re-checked ALL the web-cam sites I view every day, (for, at least the 10th time), and the
     same 2 sites are still showing the "Error loading plugin: Plugin file not found" on a black screen. Even
     though the video isn't seen the "chat" area is functioning, (I don't know if that's important, but I
     thought I should mention it).
9. I posted the issue on Firefox's Forum but no one has an answer since Flash works everywhere except
     for 2 sites.
I've tried everything I can think of to troubleshoot this, but as you can see, I've had no success in solving this "mystery".
As for the 2 sites I can't view, they are:
                                    http://www.pixcontroller.com/eagles/    And
                                    http://www.westmorelandconservancy.org/BlueBirdWebcam-1.htm
I've been watching these sites for MONTHS, so why I can't view them all of a sudden, well, I'm clueless, (I guess you already figured that out...ha ha ha). I was watching the 2 sites listed above early yesterday morning, then when I looked at one of the other cams I view and came back to these 2 sites, I got the "error message".
I hope you have a solution for me, as I'm desperate! I'm WAY behind in my documentation for these 2 sites, so hopefully you'll have an easy answer. If it's a technical thing, please use LOTS of details, as I'm not very technically inclined.
Thanks in advance for your help!

P.S. I just checked on another site that offers many different wildlife cams, & I CAN view the "Pittsburgh Bald Eagles" if I go through: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/pittsburgh-bald-eagles    I'm sure this means something, but since I don't understand this technical stuff I don't know what that is! (I told you I'm clueless!)

I definitely see a problem with the pixcontroller/eagles site on Windows 8.1. It works fine for me in the same version of Firefox on Windows 7. It's unclear to me whether it's a Firefox or a Flash Player issue, but I'm happy to look into it further and get some bugs filed.
As a temporary workaround, both sites work fine with Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

does any one have any idea what i should do it has been jailbroken for 3 months now i downloaded android lock and it started doing this

That happens sometimnes with jailbreaking.
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.

Hi Poonam26c,
If you do not have a local copy of a song which you have purchased (i.e. it is available via iTunes in the Cloud), you may need to redownload it before you can transfer it to your device. You may find the following article helpful:

Flash problem even after fixes

I'm using Tiger 10.4.11 and Safari 4.1.3. Since the Safari update after 4 beta, any site with Flash content has caused Safari to crash within a minute.
I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling etc...running disk repair, clearing the cache...basically anything suggested on numerous other threads detailing the same problem.
My problem now is that Flash is downloaded but sites with such content now all say that the plug-in is missing and direct me to the adobe site. On clicking Help>Internet Plug-ins in Safari, Flash is not listed but its present in my user/Library/Plug-ins folder and MAC/library/Internet Plug-ins folders.
Can anyone suggest a way of getting round this problem other than upgrading/ doing a full reinstall of my OS?
If not, are there any add-ons that could convert flash content to HTML5 on Safari 4.1.3?
Many thanks in advance
(Please explain any workarounds in layman terms)

Hi
well I think that's the wrong size file - recent Flash versions (including this latest one) place a Flash Player.plugin file that contains two versions, for 10.4-5 and 10.6 -
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin here is 23.4 MB on disk (23,309,888 bytes)
inside that, there are several other files, including the two OS-specific ones at around 11.5 MB each
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/PlugIns/FlashPlayer-10.4-10.5.plugin (11.6 MB on disk (11,536,744 bytes))
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/PlugIns/FlashPlayer-10.6.plugin (11.8 MB on disk (11,728,149 bytes))
Now maybe (adobe don't say) they install only the 10.4 one on 10.4 macs (I'd find that a bit odd, since they add the 10.4 one to 10.6 machines) and yours is just as is should be, but I'd certainly try an older version for now, from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html or a backup. Perhaps someone else with Tiger will check their plugin file size.

Trial download of Flash CS3 was not completed: does this mean I can't download it again?

A few weeks back I started to download the trial version of Flash CS3 (I am still using Flash 8, but have a CS3 file created elsewhere that I want to re-save as Flash 8). Unfortunately the internet link was broken when only about 80% had downloaded. Adobe has assumed I have the download - does this mean that I cannot try downloading it again? (When I attempt to do so there is a brief flurry of activity, then nothing happens.)

if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
and activate with your serial.
if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps. the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). so, your browser must also accept cookies to enable these downloads.

Uverse Internet Constant Intermittent Connectivity, and problem persists after multiple modem-replacement, plus field technicians cannot resolve problem

P.S. And all this new technology is biggybacking on very old technology. the bottleneck my be in the old technology.

Okay, I took this to mean that you were getting satisfactory preformance. I misread and I apologize. Your issues are with buffering of video streams and actual website performance, not raw download speed.Elementalfascination wrote:
Is it possible that the U-Verse service just isn't reliable? ...Reliable means different things to different people. One of the first components of reliablity would be "Do you remain in contact with the Internet at all times," versus "Does my modem lose connectivity all the time." Via this metric, it would seem to be reliable. Is this not so? A second metric would be "Is the measured download speed consistantly near what I pay for?" Apparently it's reliable in this as well. A third metric would be "Does it consistantly work with all network applications." Here is where you're experiencing an issue. To be fair to the Premise tech, he knows about the first issue and can do somethings about the second issue, but he doesn't have a clue about the third. Similarly, a line tech can't help you with this, either. And don't get me started about first level phone support. This deals with network traffic, peering, routing, buffering, etc. You need a network tech. Strangely enough, no consumer ISP makes access to this sort of tech readily available to the end user. It's a 80/20 rule (more like 90/10 rule), most customers don't experience these sorts of issues and it doesn't make sense to staff to handle them as a matter of course. If you wish to work with an AT&T team that does have some knowledge of these sorts of issues and has access to more back end resources, then please click this U-verse Customer Service link to send a Private Message (PM) to the AT&T customer service team to help you resolve your situation. You can expect a reply via return PM (the blue envelope in the upper right hand corner of this site) in a business day or three.
This is a group of U-verse service specialists who are knowledgeable about U-verse and will stay with your problem until the end (instead of forgetting about it when the phone hits the cradle). Speed things up by including your Billing Account Number, and the best time and way to reach you. Regarding your comment about Googling to see that this is a common problem... just for fun, repeat your search and substitute any other consumer ISP for AT&T and see what you get. If you see a big difference, I'd be amazed. Unless, of course, that ISP doesn't provide a forum like this for users to report such issues. All ISP's have issues of some sort of another that some customers will experience. One more thing before I go. Are your PC's connecting directly to the RG, or are you using some other intervening router?

How does this new Firewall work?

I've upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, but I just don't understand the new firewall.
Does anyone know what the correct settings should be? Is it wise to 'allow all connections'? Does this mean the firewall is off?
Really confused by this, I wish they left the firewall alone, the Tiger version was much easier to configure.

I think I'll wait until 10.5.1 and see what Apple do about this ridiculous firewall.
BRING BACK THE TIGER FIREWALL!!!

Whenever i try and send an imessage to someone that has an iphone it gets stuck at times and won't go through. I then have to send it as a basic text and then it will respond message failed to send what should i do when it does this i need help

The use of iMessage depends on both the sender and the receiver having an active data connection. If either of the two connections are interrupted, the message can fail. The sending of an iMessage differs from the sending of an SMS, and if you are having SMS failures, that would be a carrier concern.
