Flash Content on Safari Stutters Badly...

I am trying to troubleshoot for my sister who has an iMac G4 800mhz; 768mb RAM; 64mb VRAM; running 10.4.10
Quicktime trailers play fine for her in Safari, (or on her desktop), but with Flash content, like at Youtube, or Comedy Central, the video playback stutters badly. I define stutter, as unwatchable jumpy video, and audio that plays back better than the video, but also drops out occasionally.
I've upgraded her to the the latest version of Flash, and that did nothing. I also downloaded Firefox, just to check another browser, and Flash content stutters there to.
My next idea, as a test, was to download a flash file to her desktop, and see if it stutters there without using Safari, and it's flash plugin, as the player.
So I downloaded a flash file from youtube, (by doubleclicking it in the activity window, which automatically downloads a file called, "get video," with no file extension, and a generic icon.)
I then added a .flv on the end of the file name, and the icon turned into a flash icon.
Now, I want to note, on my computers, when I add a .flv on the end of the name of one of these files I've downloaded from Youtube, when I highlight it in a finder window under column view, I see a preview of the movie, which I can play there. I can also ctrl click, and choose, open with other, (because flash player will not open an flv file), and choose Quicktime as the app, it opens and plays.
On her computer, when I highlight the same file in column view in her finder window, there is no preview visible, just a large flash icon, and the file will not open with her Quicktime app either.
Now, I could care less whether she can play the darn things on her desktop, though I am perplexed that I cannot. (I was just troubleshooting.) Btw, we are both using the same versions of OSX 10.4.10; Safari 2.0.4; Quicktime 7.2; and Flashplayer 9.0
All I want is for her to be able to play Flash content on Safari without the stutter.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for your reply.
I've been hearing nothing but crickets!
I guess it's just the old machine that's the problem. Thanks for the confirmation, -that you have had the same experience.
No wonder the "five bar," pros that work these boards have had no solutions to offer. They're usually, on the money.
I am aware of downloading the flv files and converting them with iSquint. I've told her she can do that, and while that would be fine for me, (though I don't have this problem), it's not a solution she is happy with. I use my activity window to find and download flash files all the time, that don't have a download link readily available. I suppose if she wants the vid badly enough, she will call me and I'll walk her through it.
She has been talking about upgrading her system, for some time now, so this will just be one more reason for her to do so.
Thanks again!

How to watch flash based videos without adobe flash installed using Safari

How do I watch flash based videos without adobe flash installed using Safari?

Once you have Chrome installed, activate the Develop menu in Safari (go to Safari Preferences > Advanced > Show Develop Menu). You then will see under the Develop menu the Open Page With option and Chrome will be listed there.
So each time you open a page with Safari requiring Flash, you use that menu option to open the same page in Chrome.

Adobe Flash Player for Safari

I can't get Adobe Flash player to install in Safari 5.0.3. Please advise...

Adobe Flash is pretty much a 32-bit application. You may be able to fix the problem by going into your Applications folder, and right-clicking on Safari. There is a check box that will allow you to run Safari in 32-bit mode. Try that and see if Flash works in Safari.
I have retired my iMac, and have an HP now, but a friend helped me with the same problem when I upgraded to Snow Leopard. My PC seems to have just one 64-bit browser, that being Internet Explorer. I am using IE9 Beta in 64-bit, and the Beta for Flash "Square" in 64-bit seems to work fine. See link below:

How to disable a flash trace in safar & opera browsers.

hi
I have installed flash player (16) debugger version for Mozilla, Now I am getting flash trace in mozilla, safari & opera. I want to disable the flash trace in safari & opera.
Please tell me how to do this.
thanks in advance

Yeah, the debugger is for developers that need to write and debug Flash content. You don't want to use it for general browsing. It's much slower than the release player because of all the tracing, and it shows you everyone else's coding mistakes that didn't get fixed before they shipped (and there are a lot).
So, you'll need to uninstall and move back to a release player. What most of us do is keep the debugger in one browser (like NPAPI Flash Player for Safari/Firefox) for doing web development, and then use another browser with the release player for actually browsing the web (like Chrome). Since we're using two browsers with different plug-in architectures, we can keep them installed in parallel instead of switching back and forth.
Anyway, here's the uninstaller:

Then just download the regular installer at:

HT5271 How can I use flash 10x in Safari 5.1.8?

Hi I need to use the older Flash plug-in (Flash 10x) in Safari 5.1.8. Is there a way I can "force" Safari to use it?
Thanx

Two bugs, one affecting Apple's Mac platform and another attacking Microsoft's Windows, exploit certain Flash player vulnerabilities to install malware onto users' systems, reports ArsTechnica. While users of other operating systems like Linux have yet to report attacks, Adobe's advisory notes the exploit affects all platforms.
Designated as CVE-2013-0634, the first vulnerability targets the Safari and Firefox Web browsers running on OS X, and is also being used as a trojan to deploy Microsoft Word documents containing malware. For Mac users, the flaw affects Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.502.146 or earlier.
On March 1 Apple again blocked Flash Player for Lion and Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5660
The Adobe Flash patch can be found on Adobe’s website, and users can visit this page to check if their software is the most curent version.
You should uninstall any previous version first, and repair permissions after installing the new version.
If you still get a ‘plug-ins blocked’ message:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5271
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

Flash Nightmares on Safari. . .Help!

This all started rather simple. . . I visit a site of a client of mine that has a flash video that was not working on my Safari but did work on Firefox. I also had a SIMBL error come up every time I opened Safari which started I'm guessing either when I upgraded to Safari 3 or when I installed Adobe CS3 Web Design. I figured it was all related.
So it was suggested I try to reinstall the latest Flash Player. I got the "Access Denied Error. . . You do not have enough access privileges for this installation". Went to Adobe. It said to uninstall Flash, Repair disk permissions, restart and install Flash Player. I did all that and again I got the same Access Denied Error. But now when I go to any site that has Flash, I get "Safari cannot find the internet plug in - "The page “BlahBlah” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type."
I am now Flashless both on Safari and Firefox which is not good because I design flash into web sites and can't test them.
I don't have time for this mess! Monday is the first day of my Nightmare week. That would make this a nightmare in a nightmare. . . HELP!!!

While Starman does his midnight surfing (he probably calls it sleep), allow me to drop in with my 2 cents' worth!
Despite the fact that you seemingly don't actually have Flash installed, as evidenced by those two files not being found (and they should be in the Internet Plugins Folder on your main hard drive, not in the one in your home account), try this:
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.)
After installation you should repair permissions and restart.

Problem updating Adobe Flash Player with Safari

Hello!
I'm trying to update Adobe Flash Player using Safari on a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.10.1 but every time I download the update the file looks like this:
and when I try to start the installation this window appears:
I tried several different download links but non of them worked. I also uninstalled the Adobe Flash Player and tried to reinstall it but then I have the same problem. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!

For some reason that I have yet to determine, people with Matlab installed start getting .mdlp extensions appended to their downloaded files. That's what happened here. Rename the file to remove .mdlp (so that it ends in .dmg), then double-click the file and it should work.

Flash problems in Safari 2.0.1 - freezes with spinning wheel

Safari is freezing up on many sites which have flash content on them. One of the sites I am having the most problems with is MySpace.com
I have the most up to date Flash player and Safari. Running 10.4.2

Hello Pady
You use the cd only when you need to repair the Disk also known as Disc repair. Please read the Directives in the posts carefully , so that you understand them & then apply.
To run Repair Disk permissions you go.> Utilites>Disk Utility pick your Hard Drive & pick Repair Disk Permissions, you can get info after @ the tool bar at the Info button there will be messages when it runs in the window on the Utility. Really though reread the links so that you understand. Also read as much as you can hear at Discussion, that is what I do.
Also make sure that when you post you go to the most pertinent, place to post, where you will get the most attention.
I need to get to sleep.
if you have Qs post.

Can't Install Flash Player on Safari OS 10.3.9

Hi. I recently reinstalled my system software on my iBook G3,
and I've been trying to install the latest Flash Player for Safari
1.3.2 running on OS 10.3.9. Non Intel. I have tried downloading and
installing quite a few times. But no plug in is showing up in my
Installed Plug In window, and it's definitely not installed. I
tried running the uninstaller and reinstalling but I'm getting
nowhere. Can anyone help? Is there something missing from my system
that I might have missed when doing a reinstall of my OS a few days
ago?

Thanks Melophage for the help! After consulting apple care (for the 2nd time), we were able to resolve the issue without going to adobe tech support as a last resort. I used the uninstaller to be sure all adobe components were removed from my mac. Then, we reinstalled the OS (without erasing). Don't know why the installer was hanging on me, but the fresh reinstall did the trick and solved the problem.
I appreciate your insight again! Take care!
