Flash won't work Safari 6.0.1 and OS X10.7.5

I have installed flash at least a dozen times. Followed the flash player troubleshooting instructions as well as Mac/Safari suggestions for slightly different versions/operating systems on these forums. I have uninstalled older versions of flash player. Nothing has worked. This may be a "DUH," but I have tried multiple days, with multiple strategies as put forth by others experiencing this issue. It seemed to happen all of a sudden after an update. Previously, I've had no issues. I thought maybe I need to be specific about which versions of software I'm working with. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Looks like many others have the same problem.
Apple Support could you please relpy and give a solution !!
Thanks so much,
Joop

If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
For a "blocked plug-in" error, see Step 4.
For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...
In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
          Delete All Site Data and Settings
then click Delete Data. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
          When visiting other websites
From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
          Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
          Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
          Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

In rare cases, you might have to log out or reboot to force a Flash update to be recognized. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 5.
Step 1
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, sign in to your YouTube account and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 2

My iPod touch isn't being recognized by my pc. The lock button on it won't work due to water damage, and a friend of mine fixed the problem by restoring it on his computer. How do I restore it without the lock button?

My iPod touch isn't being recognized by my pc. The lock button on it won't work due to water damage, and a friend of mine fixed the problem by restoring it on his computer. How do I restore it without the lock button?

first try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
next
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Accidents happen, and apple can certainly assist you with replacement of said device. Most manufacters would tell you to buy a brand new retail unit, apple will charge you about half price for a replacement unit. I agree its unfortunate that it happend, but expecting a free replacement is just going to lead to disappointment

Intuit's Quicken won't work with Lion. Installed and am using Quicken Essentials but it's not as convenient.

Intuit's Quicken won't work with Lion. Installed and am using Quicken Essentials but it's not as convenient.

this has been an issue with Quicken for a long time! Quicken was initially a Mac only application and then they got greedy! i beta-tested Quicken for Intuit for years and when they announced they were not going to support it any more the screaming was loud but not heard!
Quicken Essentials is a crime! i wasn't even asked to beta-test it; probably because they would have gotten an earful!!! it is not essential; it is stupid.... AND, of course, their online version was a disaster. i use Quickbooks Online for business and it works like a charm; i mean it even downloads ignominious PayPal transactions now!
i am also stupid for not really checking out if it would work with Lion - ALL of my financials are on it. I am going to have to do what @cwiens suggested above and either pull out an old Macbook I have or my well stored original Cube in its original box! thank the fates for the double backup i've always done with Quicken - Time Machine & its own key drive!
btw, this is an old Microsoft trick - not having older versions of apps work on OS updates so they force you to buy the new versions.

Launchd - RunAtLoad won't work if I log out and back in

The plist that I have configured to "RunAtLoad" won't work if I log out and back in. The only time it will run again is if I restart the computer, is this supposed to happen? I have a plist that runs a script that I want to have loaded everytime a person logs into a computer. Since this computer has many users I thought it would be practical to use launchd instead of putting it in eveybodys login items. If there is another way to run a script at login that would also be helpful.

..."I thought it would be practical to use launchd instead of putting it in eveybodys login items."...
"Login Items" are configured in a user's "~/Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist" file. If that file is placed in the system's main "/Library/Preferences" folder, and the permissions changed so that all users can read it (but not write to it of course), then it should open the listed items during login for all accounts.

I vote Flash Player.
First uninstall Flash Player according to the instructions here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
Read and follow all the instructions with care.
If you must have Flash Player, install it from this site:

Macromedia Flash won't work

Hello, Folks, I am having problems with any webpage that uses
"flash" animation. (Please be kind- I know mechanics and hands-on
things, but have a hard time with computers!) I have read some of
the threads here that deal with a similar topic, but don't
understand a lot of what I read. You guys are WAY above my head.
I am running Windows XP and IE 6. I recently ran the
Microsoft Windows updates (on April 02, I think, so I don't know if
it included the troublesome Active-X change or not). Now it seems
that some of the video/ picture features just aren't working right.
If I hold the cursor arrow over the place where the animation
should be, I get a message that says "click to activate or use this
control", but clicking does nothing. Right-clicking, then selecting
"settings" brings up a control panel for Macromedia Flash Player 8.
I selected "Allow" and "remember", but no change. I tried updating
the Macromedia, but it didn't help; completely wiping out the
program and reinstalling, as suggested by Macromedia, didn't work
either.
I have turned off pop-up blockers, emptied temporary and
cookie files, etc. to no avail. The animated pages WORK when logged
in under my wife's name. (!?) The Macromedia page works and runs
under her name, and shows that the program is installed, which it
will not do under my user name. I have disabled the Microsoft IE
pop-up blocker, and a "Popup Manager" program on my username, and
it still won't work. All of these are running on hers, too (and are
not disabled). Any ideas where to start? What would be different
from one username to another that would cause this?
Okay, some more information. The yellow pop-up bar ("Pop-up
blocked") under the toolbar never appears, so I never have a chance
to click on it to allow the information.
I tried loading Mozilla Firefox, and loaded the appropriate
Mcromedia version for it, and Mozilla does the exact same thing-
just blank boxes where the animation should be. The animated pages
still work, on IE and Firefox, on my wife's sign-in pages.
I am running AVG antivirus, Ad-Aware SE Personal, CCleaner,
Spysweeper, Spybot Search and Destroy, PopupManager, and
Spywareblaster. I have disabled these as much as I know how, but
nothing changes.
Thinking more on this, a month or so back Trend Micro online
virus scan found an infection by a virus named Anyman or something
to that effect. It recommended removing a file, which I believe was
a .dll file, but I am not sure of specifics. Normally I keep good
documentation of such things, but the paper I wrote this down on
has disappeared. Is there a file linked to animation that would be
found in each individual user's section of XP, that possibly could
have been deleted only from mine? Any good way to find it?
I truly appreciate your consideration. Thanks again,
Woodtroll

I think the solution is a matter of directory permissions.
Make sure your login/user has the same permissions as your
wife's login/user. It might just be a matter of changing your
account type to administrator in the User Accounts control panel.
You should especially check that you have permissions to:
Windows C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application
Data\Macromedia\Flash Player
This is where flash stores it's cookies and Flash could be
having trouble changing them due to lack of permissions under your
login so it can't make any changes to your Flash Player settings.
I had the same problem when logging in to the network at
work.
If I logged in to the PC via the network server Flash would
display the symptoms you're describing. Different user logins to
the server would not work either but if I logged in to the PC
locally, Flash worked fine. I think this is because when logging in
via the network server, Flash tries to store the cookies on the
server and it can't. I'm going to try to get the network manager to
allow Flash access to this directory and hopefully that will fix
the problem.
Good luck to you, I spent a lot of hours finally figuring
this out.
-Joe
