Have Mac10.6.8;getting flash blocked plug in message; how fix?

I have IMAC with Mac 10.6.8; Safari 5.1.10. Have not been using Flash (has been a blocked plug-in for sometime; Apple must have blocked it; not me) as Flash will not work; HTML works fine & allows screens to open; I have both Safari and FireFox on my system; both won't allow Flash to work; knew the plug in was blocked; however, for the FIRST time today, tried to put in a USPS tracking number and entire system greyed out and would not let me input the number I had; earlier today, I entered another USPS tracking number and it worked fine then;  This afternoon, I noticed a small message saying "blocked plug in" had not seen before; I tried to follow the directions to update "Shockwave Flash Player" but apparantly went into some kind of "loop".  How can I fix this so my system will let me once more do common things safely and get out of the "loop"? 

Older versions of Flash have security holes which is why they are blocked. You need to upgrade your Flash - Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.77. You also need:
Apple Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 17
Apple Security Update 2013-004
Be sure you use Software Update to check for any other needed updates.

    I get a 'blocked plug-in' message when trying to view video, such as youtube. I have updated adobe flash, and have enabled plug-ins - still doesn't work.

    Hey reslosson,
    The article linked below provides more information about the blocked plug-in alert that you are seeing and will walk you through the process of changing the security settings in Safari.

  • I am getting a blocked plug in message

    I am getting a blocked plug in message.  I am trying to install the latest flash player but get to a  user and password box and don't know the password.  How do I get or reset that password so I can download?

    It is asking for system administrator username and password.  Please approach your system administrator for getting the same.

  • HT202681 i have down loaded the latest version of abode flash player and i still keep getting a blocked plug in message

    When you download from the Adobe site, despite the button saying “install” — it really doesn't do anything but download the installer.
    Quit the Safari browser. Next to the Trash icon on your Dock, is an icon that is an alias to your Downloads folder. Click this icon once. There will be a list of previous downloads that pops up. The file closest to the Dock is the Adobe Flash installer. Click this once to launch it. It will display like this:
    Double-click the red flash folder. This produces the following dialog — you select Open.
    You will receive a password challenge. Use your Mac OS login password. You next prompt will look like this. Choose the middle selection as I have shown:
    The Adobe Flash Player will download and install via a blue progress bar. You will need to click a Finish button, and then Safari launches taking you to the Adobe site to verify Flash Player was installed.
    In System Preferences, the bottom panel now has an Adobe Flash Player preference panel. It has an Advanced tab that enables you to check if there are newer releases of Adobe Flash available, and it wil also fetch the installer for you (usually). The System Preferences panel, and Safari must both be closed for Flash Player updates to succeed.
    Eject the Adobe Flash Player installer from your Desktop.
    Once Flash Player is installed, you may need to open Safari Preferences > Security, and check Internet plug-ins: Allow Plug-ins. Click the Manage Website Settings… button, and then select Adobe Flash Player in the left panel of the pop-up. You want Allow set When visiting other websites. Click Done, and close Safari Preferences.

  • I cannot download abode flash, keep getting blocked plug in message

    Hi,
    I keep trying to download abode flash but keep getting a blocked plug in message. Have anyone been able to solve this problem?

    Adobe Flash Player
    Check Flash Version
    Adobe strongly recommends that you first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html#main_1 0_4
    Follow the instructions closely, such as quitting ALL applications first before installing.  Repair permissions and restart your computer after the installation is completed.
    Authored by Klaus1
    =============================
    Use Software Update or the OS 10.6.8 combo update to update your OS.  Also, update everything SU has to offer for your computer.  When done, repair permissions and restart your computer.
    Your profile confirms you are still using OS 10.6.7.

  • I have 10.6.8 with Safari 5.1.10 and am getting a "blocked plug-in" error message, how can I rectify this situation?

    I have OS X 10.6.8 with Safari 5.1.10 and am getting a "blocked plug-in" error message. I have already gone into the Safari/preferences/securtiy and the allow all plug-ins has been checked. What can I do to rectify this situation?

    Niel, I clicked on the message and tried to download an updated flash player but it would not let me do it! The same error message - blocked plu-in - came up again when I went to step 3 in the download process. My iMac ia an older model 4,1 with power PC could this be causing the problem?

    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. 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 (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US  which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.
