Local Storage issue - Permission to store info on my computer

Hi-
I'm pretty frustrated.  I am trying to play video on a particular website and I continue to get a box popping up in the screen that says "the website is requesting permission to store information on your computer."  And then it says "requested:  up to 1MB...currently using: 1KB."  Then I have a choice of selecting "allow" or "don't allow" - neither works, it's frozen.  I've gone to the Abobe website and tried changing my settings, the new settings don't work either.  I've tried uninstalling and re-installing and guess what - doesn't work either.  Any help would be 100% appreciated.

Perhaps it's a problem with the actual website than the Flash Player itself?  The reason I think this is that you get the "script is taking too long to run" message, which often means the actual actionscript in the SWF is either badly written or stuck in a loop.  I know this, because I regulary lock up the player when writing poor code... I'm tempted to write a SWF that replicates this exact situation in fact.
Ideally, you could confirm this by getting somebody else to try to access the site, or by accessing it from a different browser.  Though not 100% accurate (the script may behave differently according to user or session data) it might be a good place to start.  It's also possible that the bug doesn't occur in a particular browser, though this is rare as Flash is very consistent these days from one browser to the next, minus a couple of issues.
A possible alternative solution is to delete the specific Flash cookie and try the site again: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.htm l
(personally I find that list so vast that I often just delete all Flash cookies).
However, deleting the flash cookie won't help if you the original SWF on the site is bugged!

    Move cursor onto video.  Right click.  Click Settings,  Click the "never ask again" box. Then click Close.  That will work.
    For some reason, that always worked for me, but in the last two days, it does not work, and it seems to freeze on the
    video.  See, if it works for you.

  • Pop up window on youtube asking permission to store info in my computer

    When playing something on Youtube and iPlayer, I get a pop up window about Flash Player Settings-Local Storage. The website is requesting permission to store information  on my computer. I have now update my Flash Player but still get the pop up window. Not sure whether this is normal and what shouls I do. I am concerned about security so, could someone kindly tell me what is this about?
    Many thanks in advance.

    I get similar messages accessing some sites because of flash settings - it is normal. To see if your messages are caused by the same settings, go to System Preferences > Flash Player:
    The Storage button gives something like this:
    If this is what your prefrences look like, the message is normal and generated by the Flash player. If these messages annoy you, you can choose "Allow sites to save ..." instead.

  • Flash page brings up a download window to store info on my computer

    when using an Adobe flash page a small window appears requiring a download (usually 10kb) to get past the grayed-out covering of the flash item. Ad blocker can stop download window, but then the flash page will not appear for use. Quote:
    "Adobe Flash Player Settings

    Of course, the "request" makes it impossible to get past the Deny to the flash page.

  • I installed adobe 9 on my Mt. Lion mac and now whenever I try to play any kind of video a box from adobe comes up asking me to give them permission to store things on my computer. This is scary to me. Should I say yes?

    I installed adobe 11.9 on my computer and now whenever I try to play any kind of video a box comes up from Adobe asking me to give permission to store things on my computer. The boxes are all from adobe but the sites in the boxes differ. Should I say yes?  This is scary to me--virus paranoia.

    You may have the box for 'Ask me before allowing sites...' or 'Block all...' checked in System Preferences - Flash Player, as pictured below... If so, try the 'allow' one instead, or if you prefer, continue to deny/allow when prompted.

  • Just updated Acrobat on my Mac.  NOW tiny windows pop up telling me various sites/groups/people want to store info on my computer.  What's up w/that?  Thanks.

    Just updated Acrobat on my Mac.
    NOW tiny windows pop up telling me various sites/groups/people want to store info on my computer.  They offer choices of "Allow" or "Deny".  Naturally I just close the window w/out clicking on anything.  Anyone know how to eliminate this problem?  It's annoying.
    Thanks.

    These messages sound like something that come from Adobe Flash rather than Adobe Acrobat.

  • Adobe Flash Player 10 - Enable Local Storage Issue

    Hi all,
    Having and issue after upgrading to Flash Player 10 from 9.
    Some chat room applications are indicating that they cannot run
    since local storage is not enabled. If I log into the PC as the
    domain admin everything works fine. If a regular user logs in, that
    message appears. What has adobe changed in Flash Player 10 that I
    need to update?
    Thanks.

    Me too!
    On both IE8 and Firefox. Win 7 32 bit on IBM T42 - 1GB ram.
    Old laptop I know but the 10.1.x.x Flash Players worked just fine. Problem started with 10.2.152.26 flash player.
    Now BBC TV live and iPlayer work just fine, however YouTube does not - audio but no video. Just a black rectangle where the video should be.
    Right click to get the menu and "settings" is greyed out. However select the pop-out option and the video plays. Right click on the pop-out and "settings" is available. So deselect "enable hardware acceleration", close the pop-out and refresh the window (F5) and now YouTube videos play. Switch hardware acceleration back on and now they don't.
    This video works fine with hardware acceleration enabled. http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/features/video/h264/
    These also work. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/stagevideo.html
    Something broken in 10.2, I think.

  • "player.play.it is requesting permission to store information on your computer."

    I believe this may be a virus. At the top of the messege it says Adobe flash player settings. Under that it says Local Storage. Under, it says requested: up to 1MB, currently used 100KB. Then it has 2 boxes to check either Allow or Deny. This pops up every time I turn on aol radio. I click deny, but it keeps coming back! help!

    I had the same problem and I disabled the AOL toolbars as follows and the problem went away:
    From Internet explorer window click on TOOLS then select MANAGE ADD-ONS then under ADD-ON TYPES the option TOOLBARS and EXTENSIONS should already be selected (if not then select it). In the SHOW: window or box select CURRENTLY LOADED ADD-ONS then in the window on the right select AOL TOOLBAR then select DISABLE (another window will pop up that lists related add-ons that will also be disabled) then click DISABLE.

  • Requesting permission to store info on Macbook Pro

    Hi
    Slight concern regarding the following pop-up's;
    I usually click 'ALLOW' when a website might display this type of pop-up window, even though I do not have adobe installed on my Macbook Pro. 
    However, I'm curious when I click 'ALLOW' what is actually being stored and where, on my Macbook Pro? Is there anything I should be concerned about?

    No, uninstalling Flash won't necessarily clear it's cache, you have to do that first in the Flash preference pane in System Preferences before you uninstall it.
    See here
    How to install/uninstall Flash, fix problems
    There are browser plugins like Click & Clean for Firefox, CCCleaner for Mac, OnyX that can delete the Flash and other caches also.
    If illegal crap popped on your machine by a trick link, it's perhaps best to backup only your files (not the entire Users folder) to a external storage drive and wipe and install OS X
    Most commonly used backup methods
    A hard drive the Macintosh HD partition should be zero erased first.
    Erase, formatting, OS X installs on Mac's
    SSD's can't be securely erased only the data on it overwritten, fill the SSD up nearly full, then repeat and delete the fill data.
    How do I securely delete data from the machine?

  • Adobe Flash Player Settings Local Storage popup from Mafia Wars on Facebook.

    I play Mafia Wars on Facebook. I use Mac OS 10.6.5, Flash Player 10.1, and Firefox 3.6.8. Some time ago I received a popup from Zynga entitled Adobe Flash Player Settings,  Local Storage asking permission to store info on my harddrive and giving me the option to allow or deny the request. However the popup is stuck; that popup will not go away.
    I have contacted Zynga, followed their instructions, and have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player. all with no success. When I play this game on other computers, including PCs, that popup is not there which leads me to the conclusion that the file is on my Mac hard drive somewhere and has nothing to do with the game itself. Please tell me how to find this file so that I may delete it. It spoils my enjoyment of the game because it limits what I can do in the game.
    Thanks loads.

    Hi, I would go to the Global Settings site here:
    http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.htm l
    I would click on the website that gave you the popup and delete that website. Perhaps this will clear it since it is stuck.
    When you visit that website again, it will problably ask to store info. Be sure to read about the Website Storage Settings Panel and how it works with the Global Storage Settings Panel.
    Thanks,
    eidnolb
    P.S. If Flash Player is working, there is no need to Uninstall and Install it again. The games and Facebook will try to always tell you something is wrong with Flash Player. Clearly it was working until their pop up stuck, right?

  • How do I get rid of the 'local storage' dialog once I deny it?

    Whenever I try to view a video with IE11, an Adobe Flash Player Settings dialog opens up, covering the center of the video, saying:
    Local Storage
    www.whatever.com is requesting permission to store information on your computer.
    Requested: up to 10 KB
    Currently used: 0 KB
    Allow or Deny
    If I Deny, the unwanted, permanently annoying dialog remains, obscuring the center of the video and ruining the user experience, even though many videos still continue to run perfectly fine behind it.
    My expectation is that once the question has been asked and answered, this ridiculous dialog needs to disappear!
    I've intentionally set my Flash Player control panel to ask me whenever a site wants to store info on my HD, so I can avoid local storage whenever possible, yet occasionally be able to decide, depending on circumstances, to allow local storage to cure occasional jerky streaming video problems.  The only other choices are to prevent all sites from storing, or allow all sites to store.
    Is there a setting that will make this dialog go away once I've answered the question?

    I suspect you are running into a "clickjacking" issue, specific to your system's dpi, video driver, or some related component.  Please see this post for details:

  • How does one clear the Local Storage in Safari 6.0?

    I used to be able to delete the cookies in the Local Stiorage folder.  But the old path ~/Library/Safari/LocalStorage doesn't exist anymore since the system got updated to OSX 10.7.4 and Safari 6.0.  And as ever emptying the cache via the develop drop-down menue doesn't clear the cookies stored in Local Storage.
    I am totally at loss, where these cookies are hiding in my system but really want to get rid of them.  Firefox is an alternative but it is tiresome to use this browser as it keeps on blocking things I want to do or asking me a little bit too frequently for permission etc.  Can anyone explain the Local Storage issue to me please?

    hpr3, thanks for your response but you didn't read my post correctly.  I am not referring to 'normal' cookies.  The ones which are stored under the section Local Storage are special and survive the general 'clear all website data' action via Safari's preferences.  I know several people have pointed this out before me.  I was able to clear these cookies in the Local Storage folder before but it was always quite a lot of 'clicking through' to be done and one had to go through the Finder via user/library/safari/local storage etc.  I recall there was a folder involved named Macromedia as well.   But with the upgrade of the operating system and Safari this path doesn't exist anymore.
    If you clear the cookies via preferences, then click out of Privacy and back in, you might notice that even though you haven't used your web browser at all, there are still cookies which magically re-appear. And they are tagged as Local Storage.
    Now, can anyone else come up with a helpful answer?

  • Sticky Local Storage box

    Most of the time when Adobe Flash Player runs, there is a popup box that says:  "x.ytimg.com (or another name) is requesting permission to store information on your computer."  There is a folder, an Allow button, and a Deny button.  I usually select Deny.  It usually ignores my click.  Sometimes that button dims, but comes back quickly to the way it was.  One in a great while the Local Storage box disappears.  All this prevents me from seeing the video; I have to kill it and go do something else.
    So, how do I get Deny to work--ideally, permanently?

    The problem was fixed.  Obviously it was FoxNews' problem.  Suddenly it worked again for no visible reason.
