Is Flash Player only for Safari? Do I need Flash Player for Firefox?

A Flash tip to help avoid security issues later: There are known scammer who fake a "Flash is out of date" pop-up that leads you to a site that installs malware or can compromise your private data. If you see a pop-up in FF saying you need to upgrade Flash, the only safe thing to do is go to this official Adobe site:
https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
and follow the downloads instructions there. It will show the currently available version. You can quickly tell what version is on your computer by doing System Preference > Flash Player and selecting the "Updates" tab.
Do NOT choose to update Flash from any pop-up. Here are several articles with more info on the "Fake Flash" issue:
http://www.thesafemac.com/?s=flash&submit=Search
Fake Flash pop-ups commonly contain grammatical or spelling errors. One common one is "Failure to install this update may cause your computer to crush." Using only the official Adobe site I linked plus checking your current version via System Preferences will avoid your having to figure out if a pop-up is fake.

Online videos not playing only in safari- it's working perfect on Mozila firefox

hi i m using macbook air and suddenly its not playing online videos only in safari...
my flash player is updated

Go to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html with Safari
Does it show that you have Flash installed & working ?
Do you have Safari - Preferences - Security set to allow Plug-Ins ?.
If yes to all that - give an example website address where you have problems & say what happens when you try to view the video.

I have my own icloud account separate from my family's apple ID for itunes. I need more storage for icloud...do I have to pay a separate $20/ month to get more storage or does the $20 include all members of the plan?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If your iCloud account uses your family's Apple ID, you will pay $20/year for all your family members. If your iCloud account uses a different Apple ID than your family's Apple ID, you will pay only for you

Sorry, I don't understand this - you don't want Adobe [Reader] not to open when doing what? On what operating system?

IPod is formatted for windows but i need it formatted for mac

i just got my iPod a couple days ago used from best buy and hooked it up from my mac not aware that it was formatted for windows. when i try to restore my iPod it just freezes up my computer. do i really need it formatted for mac in order to get good performance?

Right. If you restored it in Windows the iPod will still be formatted for Windows.
Now see if you can restore it on your mac.
Also, know that Windows-formatted iPods work fine in Mac OS X. The only "problem" is that you cannot update the iPod's software on your mac if another software version is released. You would have to do that through Windows.
If you plan on using your iPod with both Operating Systems, you may want to keep it formatted for Windows.

Am I the only one who facing this problem or there someone else. I did a factory reset yesterday but it still laggy. Do I need to wait for the next ios 7 update or what?

Hi Amish,
I should have mentioned that I have signed out of the iCloud Control Panel several times and no syncing occurs.
Thanks for your response anyway. I appreciate your feedback.

What version of Safari do I need to download for a Mac Pro running 10.7.5?

I have a Mac Pro running 10.7.5. What version of Safari can I download and run on this computer?

The latest one available to you in Software Update. Probably Safari 6.1.6.
It is not available as a separate download: Get the latest version of Safari for your Mac - Apple Support

I repeatedly install Flash 11 only to be told I need to install it to view video

After apparently successfully installing Flash 11, when I try to view video I receive a message that I need to install Flash 11. I have uninstalled Flash 11 and tried again with the same results. Shutting down the computer and trying again has not helped. My computer meets the requirements for Flash 11.

Please don't post the same question multiple times!

I like the navigation toolbar to have icons and the bookmarks toolbar to be text only; like Safari. Can I do this in Firefox?

In Safari the Back, Forward, Home buttons etc are Icons only and the bookmarks are text only. Is there a way of doing this in Firefox?
In View/Toolbars/Customize I do not see this option so I have it set as text only. I don't like the icons in the bookmarks toolbar because they take up more space, limiting the number of visible bookmarks

You can look at this extension:

I need firefox to support a 128 bit encryption for a website I need to use for work. How do I accomplish this?

www.opm.gov/e-qip/ is a government site that I need to use to fill out a questionaire for employment. It says my web browser does not support a 128 bit encryption which it needs for the site to work properly. How do I increase the encryption bits?

It is a warning that you can ignore.
<blockquote>Warning - We did not detect that your web browser supports 128-bit high encryption. If you have trouble connecting after you click the "Continue" button below, you will need to upgrade your web browser to a version that supports 128-bit encryption.</blockquote>

Received ipod shuffle as gift formatted for Mac. I need to reformat for pc

I received an ipod shuffle as a gift. It was already formatted for a Mac. However, I have my own itunes library on my Windows PC. I want to reformat the ipod for the pc, but am having trouble doing that. Can anyone tell me exactly what I need to do?
THanks!

The ipod I received was already formatted on a mac
and filled with songs from the gift givers itunes
library. I don't want it that way. I want to
reformat it for the pc and put my songs on it. I
have tried to restore, resynch, etc, but it is not
working, because it is formatted for the mac. All I
want to know is how to format for the pc (and start
over). I saw a post from an earlier discussion that
said that I could choose the device on My Computer
and right click and say format, but right clicking on
the device does not give me format as an option. Any
ideas?

Unable to see content of scrabble board etc when trying to play game on faceboo. Page is stating Adobe Flash required. Any ideas as ipad does not do adobe flash?

Flash games cannot be played on the iPad as flash is not supported, so you cannot play facebook games on it : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
If you really want to play them then you'll need to use your computer.

Safari doesn't find Flash

Hello,
I try to open a website (www.cousteau.org) but Safari tells me that I must install flash player. But when I watch installed plug-in for safari i saw that flash player has been installed. I don't understand why safari didn't find flash plug-in.
On this forum I found several solutions :
- restaure disk autorizations
- uninstall flash plug-in
the first one did't solve my problem and I am not able to uninstall flash (I am a new mac user and I don't know wher I can delete installed files).
Help is welcome.

Welcome to Apple Discussions and Mac Computing
The problem is not with your system or browser. The problem lies with the web developer. Seems the site is not Mac friendly as it does not work on either Safari, Opera, Camino or Firefox on my system. The site message: This site makes use of Flash 5. To experience it the way we intended, you need Macromedia Flash Player 5, a plug-in for your Wed Browser that can play the content we've created. Strange, as Flash is now up to Version 9. Either, something is wrong with the site in general (all platforms are affected), or the coding does not recognize the Mac browsers.
To contact the web developer you will need to access the site on a Windows system. Perhaps, you may encourage them to move up from the ocean depths into the 21st century.

Needed: flash for dummies - a template for HTML snippet

I am a dummy when in comes to code. I understand that iWeb '08 uses "HML Snippets" and by using them, you can add flash movies (.flv or .swf) to your iWeb '08 created site.
What I (and apparently many other dummies) need is a step by step set of instructions on how to modifiy an HTML template and where to put the flash files to get them to work.
<http://web.mac.com/wyodor/Embed_Media/Embed.html> provides useful HTML templates, but they leave many unanswered questions that dummies, like me, have no clue about. Here is the template for .flv files with my questions in CAPITALS.
Object for Flash movies with player.
The outer object is for Safari.
The inner object is for Firefox/Camino.
This sample uses a Flash player. There are several Flash players around you can use.
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="320" height="260"CHANGE WIDTH AND HEIGHT TO DIMENSIONS OF MY FLASH MOVIE-YES? codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab #version=8,0,0,0">

<param name="scale" value="tofit" />
</object>
</object>
IF YOU INCLUDE THE FLASH MOVIE IN THE iWEB FILES FOR THAT PAGE, IS THERE A WAY TO INDICATE THAT THE PATH TO THEM IS SHORTER THAN THE WHOLE HTTP//...?
I have read all the postings and gone to all the sites and attempted doing what they seem to say and I am still having no luck. I hope someone will take the time to explain to dummies like me how to do this. I used iWeb because I thought it would be simple.

Remember, I am a dummy.
The path I gave to files is an invention, not the actual path I am using, but that is not the problem (I suspect). I have eliminated the parameters ending in false. Will that mean that the controller shows up? That the movies does not loop?
Should the question mark not be there or is it required? I have no idea what it does.
My understanding (or misunderstanding) was that this code has two parts to address playback on various browsers. Is that true or is it just redundant?
Here is what I have now. If you could just make necessary changes and post, that would probably be the biggest help. The "piecemeal" approach leaves me with more questions. Thanks for all the help.
