Flash player won't play videos in safari after I've installed Lion does anyone have a solution?

Hi,
I've installed Lion after which Flash Player won't play videos with Safari. I keep being prompted to download and install the latest version of Flash Player whcih I've done several times. Can someone please help me fix this.
I find Adobe's announcement that there are no issues with Flash Player and Lion a bit of a sick joke.
Many thanks,
Ian Pickering

This sounds like the problems that Adobe have reported which are listed at
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html#main_Flash_Player
I only use flash for watching video clips on the BBC website so haven't been affected by these other issues. The text below is copied from the website at the above link. Hope this helps.
The Flash Player Settings dialog box doesn't respond to mouse clicks. As a workaround, press the Tab key to move to the Close button and press the spacebar to close the dialog box. While not all settings are available, you can also use the Flash Player native control panel in System Preferences.

My internet won't play videos through safari or YouTube... What if I do

My internet won't play videos through safari or YouTube... What if I do

Wifi? Cellular? That's not much to go on. More details help. If you think it's your internet contact your provider or carrier.

Youtube won't play videos on Safari

I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and Safari won't play any youtube videos on youtube. However on some other sites linked videos will play. I've tried (multiple times) to uninstall and reinstall Adobe Flash Player to no avail. Any other solutions?

Hi ...
If you have ClickToFlash installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. The plugin is located in: /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
Empty the Safari cache more often. From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Quit then relaunch Safari, try a video.

IPad won't play videos

I have downloaded a few videos from my iTunes onto my iPad and when I click on them all appears well and the time bar along the top counts up as if its playing the film however it's just a blank screen.
I have tried removing them from my iPad and reloading them onto it using my laptop and via iTunes on my iPad but the problem still persists.
I have also tried restarting my iPad but no luck :(
Can anyone help?

I could certainly be wrong, but I think that this is more a problem with the app itself than an issue with the movies but without knowing if you ever had success... Have videos ever worked for you on the iPad in the videos app?
If you have been able to play videos in the past, and if this is a software issue and not a problem with the videos, The last two things that I can think of that might help would be to reset all settings and if that doesn't work restore the iPad software.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. I does take some time to enter all of the device settings again, so I want you to be aware of that.

New operating system on ipad won't play video

previous store video will not play on new operating system just downloaded 11/19/2013. Opens like it will play then nothing

I know my original post is long, so I'll put a few of the key points in Bold here.
Neither Video nor Audio will play in any app, even files I know work normally.
Both local files and streaming content are affected.
Restarting fixes the symptoms (temporarily) and allows me to play whatever media I want.
The problem is very infrequent.
The problem has both times first appeared while in Nightstand app, but I'm not sure that is the cause.
With such an infrequent problem, I hesitate to reinstall everything and see if that works. I am hoping I can manually generate an error report or mini-dump next time it happens.
Sorry for being passive aggressive here.

IPad won't play sound with video? Will play music and radio apps, but not if there is a video component. Same for my iTunes movies.

Help! My iPad won't play any audio when there is a video component to an app or game. It will play my music and I can see the video on my movies, but not the movie sound. Turning off and turning it on again worked as a temporary fix once, but now that is not working either. Been going on for an week or two?

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

My mini IPad won't run videos I bought or took with it. It will not play music I bought either; but it did up to 2 days ago?

Can anyone explain why my new IPad won't play films bought or taken with the IPad ,they stay static like a picture. music bought on ITune won't play either. Is there à simple solution for this? it was working fine this morning.

Hi Arlene,
If you haven't already done so, does restarting or resetting the iPad help the issue?

Why doesn't apple tv appear when playing video in safari?

Hi Guys:
     I just bought an apple tv. I am able to use the mirroring function with no problem, and I can see the apple tv in the "Airplay" menu.
     But When i play a video in safari(mirroring turned off), I can not see my apple TV in the "AirPlay" menu.
      So my question is : why doesn't apple tv appear when playing video in safari?
Does the same thing happen to you guys??
btw, I just dont want to mirroring when play a video in safari, that's why i'm asking this question
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

Experiencing the same issue. Everything used to just work. I'm up to date on *everything* and it's all apple devices (airport extreme, appletv, 2 macbook pro lion, iphone4s, ipad).
My gut says it's the AppleTV since it happens from both laptops that have itunes.
Let me know if you find a fix.

Quicktime won't play videos online. ???

I just downloaded quicktime, and then restarted my computer. But it still won't play videos online. I'm not sure if it is like this for all sites, but i have one site in particular that won't play videos. Any ideas? I have Windows 7 by the way.

I come across this a lot, actually. I'm tired of having to switch to Firefox in order to view certain quicktimes. Here's a clip that won't play for me:
http://www.chartoonz.com/index.html
I can't figure it out because Safari will play quicktimes, even other h264 quicktimes, but then I'll run across an h264 on someone's site and I get the question mark.

IPad won't plat video after last iOS update

Try a reset: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

My computer won't play videos..

My computer won't play videos on news sites or videos I have successfully uploaded and others have viewed on Facebook. It's fairly new- do I need a new version of Safari? I have version 5.0.

Do you have the Flash player installed? If not, go to Adobe and install the newest version.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate. When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet) in full screen mode just fine. When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing. I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse. Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

Hi,
Have you tried a reset?
This solves a lot of these problems, and I'm not sure if this will work in your case, but give it a try. You hold down the sleep and home buttons at the same time. A slider will appear. Ignore it and keep holding both buttons down. After about 15 seconds the Apple logo will appear. See if that helps.
You will not lose anything on your ipad when you do a reset. (A restore is a whole other issue!)
The following link addresses your issue and offers some other possible solutions.

TVNZ will not play video in safari

TVNZ On Demand says I need to load the latest Adobe Flash Player and will not play video in Safari.
The same applies for TV3 On Demand in Safari.
I definitely have the latest loaded - Plug-in version 11.9.900.117 is installed
The same problem does NOT occur within Mozilla Firefox.
It also does not happen on my older iMac - with OSX 10.2 installed.
Safari settings:
Solution please ?

Video will not work in Safari on You Tube or CNN.com or BBC.co.uk, or any other site
Cannot play media. You do not have the correct version of the flash player. Download the correct version
No problem with any of those sites within Firefox !!
