Mac OS 10.5.8 Flash 10 settings

Ok, I have made peace with the fact that Flash 10 is running a lot slower on my son's PowerBook G4 than my comparable work Windows based laptop. However, I would like to make sure I run it as efficiently as possible. When I right click a Flash box, I can adjust the settings. What are the optimal settings for a Mac? Should I use Hardware Acceleration on or off? How much data should I allow to be downloaded for local storage?
Internet speed is 1MB/s
PowerBook G4 1.5mhz
1GB ram
I am unsure if it has 64MB video ram or 128mb video ram...

Yeah, a lot of web video seems optimized for Intel processors. Our MacBook Pro (our only Intel Mac) is where we watch most web video any more.
Someone in the iMac G4 forum suggest turning off hardware acceleration in the Flash settings. I tried it on my G4 1.25G desktop running Tiger and I think it helped. Haven't applied it to the old PowerBook yet.
I recently bumped my RAM from 1G to 1.75G in the desktop G4 and I don't think that helped the video issues very much. However, running Leo, you may want more RAM anyway. With modern modules your computer should handle 2G of RAM.
Internet speed is 1MB/s
That can have a huge bad influence on streaming video. You'll probably have to let the entire video load before viewing. We have 5.5Mbps service and still get some stalls.

Do "About this Mac" and then click the "More info..." button in the resulting window. That brings up System Profiler. In SP's left pane, select Graphics/Displays. The amount of VRAM with appear in the main pane.

How do I change my flash settings? I said I wanted to be prompted about flash wanting to store things on my computer but the prompts are too frequent and annoying!

New versions of Flash have a panel installed on your system for control of settings.
In Windows XP, Windows Start > Settings > Control Panel > Flash Player, click on each tab and change the "Ask..." setting. Most likely your prompts are coming from the "Storage" tab. Using any of the "Block..." settings may make Flash inoperative on some sites.

Flash not playing on Mac OS 10.6.8, Flash 11.8.800.94, Firefox 22.0

Flash not playing on Mac OS 10.6.8, Flash 11.8.800.94, Firefox 22.0
Let me also say this flash does work in Safari... just not Firefox. When a flash media link is clicked on FF will go to the link but only a black window appears with no text or error messages or sound.
As far as I know I am running the latest version of Firefox and Flash. I have no plans to upgrade from Snow Leopord to Lion.
Another possible data point for this is Flash updates do not install just by clicking on the download. The DMG downloads but I get an unknown data type when it trys to launch. There is an easy work-around for this be simply launching the DMG from Finder where it runs just fine.
Any thoughts as to why Firefox is not running Flash media files?

Also, check Tools>Addons to be sure the latest plugin is enabled

If by resetting to factory settings you mean she erased the drive and reinstalled the operating system, OS X, then yes all data thatwas on it is gone. That is why apple included time machine so you can make backups of your data.

Why am I having difficulty streaming movies know and there is also a pop up Adobe Flash Settings that comes up from the person s who have the web site

Why am I know having such difficulty streaming movies, it constantly stopping to upload,, pretty frustrating. There a also pop ups that have started to come up " Adobe Flash Settings "Some go away when I click deny, others I need to leave the site because deny won't shut it.

Blacklist the site. The Flash popups are probably attempts to download malware.
Do not get Flash from anywhere other than Adobe themselves.

I have Mac OS 10.6.8 - "flash plug-in failure" now mostly continuous. A user 2wks ago suggested in thread: remove .xpt in apps library. Wonderful then! Now plug in

I recently bought & downloaded Mac OS 10.6.8 — "flash plug-in failure" in SAFARI 5.0.5 now mostly continuous. A user 2wks ago suggested in thread: remove .xpt file from apps library. I did that and mac was working wonderfully then!
Now plug in and download failures are awful, as in frequent. What do I do??? Please help. I am running an iMac 24, that's about 5 years old.

Hi.. Ms. Bee from Delaware. Its just an opinion.
I seriously doubt, if 90% of the users have no issues with Safari and feel comfortable using it. There could be something wrong with your statistics here... oh yeah..
Please try to Google search : "a Flash malfunction Magnet"
I do agree that, most Adobe flash based programs crash on a Mac. But, its Vimeo's fault to adopt flash.
The majority of the internet community use flash content/plugins. Unfortunately not HTML5, that Safari is good at performance in comparison to Flash apps.
10% of the 3rd party internet Enhancers like Ms.Apple Developer should transform the Flash community.

Adobe Flash Settings Issue

Hello,
I am having the issue with the flash settings, where you cannot click on Allow. I am running OSX Lion, the latest adobe flash (10.3.183.7)
I have added the website to the Local Storage Settings by Site options, with Allow. When the space reaches 99kb, the issue comes up asking me to allow more space, but i am unable to click on it. The only way around it is to go back into the storage settings, change to deny, then back to allow, which seems to clear all the storage. then i can relaunch the browser and be able to get 1 page further in the book before i am prompted again.
Is there an actual resolution to this? I've tried suggested resolutions of updating to the latest flash player, which supposedly addressed this bug. Evidently not. I also manually added the website to the Local Storage Settings by Site option, which was supposed to resolve this as well, but it didnt.
As of now I am stuck, and unable to read a book for class, which is obviously a critical issue.
thanks.
Ian

I have a new mac pro 'can', and was checking settings. I gave a user who I didn't recognize 'no access', and lost all access to my computer immediately. Tried to change access back, but I was totally locked out (even as the admin). It won't even reboot! I thought it might have been back when I gave Adobe access (when they had their Cloud fiasco and my machine kept crashing with Premiere). Can anyone suggest anything?

How do I restore my Mac OS 9 to its factory settings?

how do I restore my Mac OS 9 to its factory settings?

Insert the install disk, restart with the C key held down, select the internal drive, choose Erase Disk from the Finder's Special menu, and install an OS onto it. If you are shown an installation screen instead of the Finder straight away, erase it from Drive Setup if not given an explicit option by the installer.

If you keep getting a 'red' message it means that the HDD is faulty and will have to be replaced. You will have to format the new HDD in Disk Utility>Erase and then install the OSX and your data from Time Machine.
Ciao.

Why does mac have to download adobe flash player to view videos

why does mac have to download adobe flash player to view video clips?

If you have a new-ish Mac or one you just upgraded to Mac OS X Lion, Adobe Flash Player is not installed by default. Since some web content is created specifically to be seen only with Adobe Flash Player, if you want to see that content, you need to install it.
It's trivial to do so. Start here:
