LION - Safari missing plug-in

Well, LION 10.7.1 is here....informing us "Address an issue that may cause the system to become unresponsive when playing a video in Safari"....
the  "Missing plug-in" issue has not been fixed, no change at all.
Not sure what kind of UAT testing they conduct....but its obviously not that extensive...
And no options to re-install LION Safari yourself....
So we all have to just hope someone at Apple....does something...as this is embarrassing as we cant even watch there own promo movies on there own web site...on their own software..   FAIL!

I had the same problem when I upgrade to Lion. Here is how I was able to fix the issue:
In Safari, go to Preference and then Extensions. Look for the DivX extension and delete it.
Then test to see if you can successfully view videos.
You may want to then download Perian <http://perian.org> which is a popular QuickTime component which allows you to watch many formats including DivX.

  • Safari missing plug-in for video

    When I try to watch a video on www.apple.com (with Safari on my iMac), the message "Missing Plug-in" is shown, instead of the video. Which plug-in do I need?

    Problem solved. Safari Preferences >> Extensions: Uninstall DivX.

  • Safari & missing 'plug-in' ??

    Can anyone help ?
    Everytime I go to the "pgatour.com" web site I get this message:
    "Some content on this page requires an Internet plug-in that Safari doesn’t support. The application “Windows Media Player” may be able to display this content. Would you like to try?"
    There is section ( small window) that plays video clips, not anymore.
    I have 'Realplayer' also had 'Real One player' ( but have deleted it ).
    Any ideas, I have read some threads, followed the advice but nothing.

    Hi Steve,
    You'll need the Flip4Mac plugin which Microsoft now provide in lieu of them no longer developing Windows Media Player for the Mac.
    If you've already tried installing that, can you expand upon "Any ideas, I have read some threads, followed the advice but nothing" - knowing what you've tried may help us help you
    Good luck!

  • Safari missing Plug-ins

    I just got a new iMac and love it. However I am having major problems with Safari. Safari won't reconize any of its plugins.
    If I go to "HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins" I see several plugins listed (quicktime, flash, etc..).
    If I open safari and select "Help/Installed Plug-Ins" it shows no plugins and is looking in "file:///Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Plug-ins.html ".
    So, none of my plugins work! It is very disappointing. I have a Mac, running Quicktime and I can't view any of the quicktime movies on the Apple website.
    VERY FRUSTRATED! And I have tried deleting and reinstalling the Quicktime plugin.
    HELP! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    OS: 10.5.2
    Quicktime: 3.1.1

    If I go to "HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins" I see several plugins listed
    Are you using the Admin account as your account, or did you create a separate user account for you when you first setup the Mac? If the former, that's a bad idea, since it will make it difficult to diagnose and solve problems later, as everything would be suspect. You need to create your own account just for what you do, give it Admin privileges, and install all applications there, unless they specifically install themselves in the Admin account.
    Do you have a Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and if so, what plug-ins are in there?
    it shows no plugins and is looking in file:///Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Plug-ins.html
    No, it's not. That's the html file that generates that page; there are no plug-ins there.
    If you're running 10.5.2, you should update to 10.5.4, as it will address various bugs and security vulnerabilities. It will also update Safari to 3.1.2.

  • Safari 5.1.1 missing plug-in html5

    I just did the Lion OS 10.7.2 with Safari 5.1.1
    When I attempt to watch the new video about iCloud on the Apple website, the video viewing screen is blank with "Missing Plug-In" or just 'HTML5"
    What plug-in could be missing?
    Think I figured this out.
    Uninstalled the DivX Safari Extensions. Seen to do the trick.

    Click "View"menu  in the Safari menu bar at the top of the screen and select "Show
    Toolbar".
    or
    Click "View" menu in the Safari menu bar and click "Customize Toolbar".
    From the drop down drag the default set into the Toolbar.
      the one under " or drag the default set into the Toolbar"
    Click "Done".
    Reset Safari.
    Click Safari in the menu bar.
    From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
    Uncheck the box next to  " Remove saved names and passwords".
    Click "Reset".

  • Safari gives "Missing Plug-in" message only on .mov to .flv converted files

    I've converted an iMovie file to .flv but when I try to view I get a "Missing Plug-In" message. Though I have no problem viewing Youtube or any other flash videos. Could you please try my link below. If you can view it, it tells me the problem is with my Safari. If not, then there's a problem with my converted video file. Please help me narrow this down. Here's the link. Thank you.
    http://www.firmimage.ca/35Kingsbridge2606flash.php

    I've used 2 different 3rd party converters. iSkysoft iMedia Converter Deluxe & Flv Crunch but only their trial versions. Wanted to see if it works before I purchase. Could that be the issue. When I try to get file info, I only see a blank page as the icon unlike, for example the icon you see when you get info. on a Quicktime video file. Also, the "preview" option on file info. does not work, which could be telling me that there's something wrong with the converted file. Were you able to view the flash video on my link?

  • I get a message  missing plug-in when on safari

    I get message   missing plug-n when using saffari

    Adobe Flash Player and Flip4Mac also add playable extensions should the content be flash or wmv. I recommend you also download "Click to Flash" which is a Safari extension that allows you to click flash content to view (thus saving your precious battery juice).
