[MAC OS 10.5.x, Intel] Flash 10 doesnt work on safari, but works on firefox

My mac:
10.5.8
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Mem: 4GB 1067 MHx DDR3
Safari Version: 5.05
Firefox Version: 3.5.3
I was suddenly not being able to watch videos on youtube because of youtube's new update that requires one person like myself to update. So, I follow the instructions and uninstalled flash player then then installed the newest version of flash onto my macintosh. I booted up Safari, and went to youtube, still said i needed flash player 10. I uninstalled and reinstalled flash player at least 10 times. I even tried reinstalling safari, still nothing.  I tried using it on firefox and it works!
Ways i have tried to fix this:
1. Check if plug-ins were enabled on Safari security prefrences, it was already checked.
2. Tried "un-checking" run with rosetta, couldn't even check it, was already unchecked
Please help,
Thanks, Surf

For more (not good) news on this video card & Mac model combination, see http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/feedback/9600mac_pcedition.html.
I suspect that any video card that shipped as an OEM product with any Mac model that meets the Leopard system requirements (& is supported by the Quicksilver) will work. This is because the Leopard DVD will have the necessary video driver extensions for those cards, but not necessarily ones that support other cards. Searching through my /System/Library/Extensions folder indicates that the following types of OEM ATI Radeon cards should be supported, but there are no guarantees:
ATI Radeon 8500
ATI Radeon 9700
ATI Radeon X1000
ATI Radeon X2000
There are also a number of driver names associated with various nVidia GeForce cards, the other supplier of OEM video cards for Apple.
The "Catch 22" about this is that if there was a Leopard compatible driver extension for the 9600 available (which there does not seem to be), you could install one of the above cards, do the upgrade to Leopard, & add it to /System/Library/Extensions folder of your startup drive afterwards. Then, the Mac could boot from that startup disk with just that card installed ... but the Leopard DVD disk still wouldn't work for repairs that require booting from it.

  • Plug-in Failure (Flash not working in Safari but working in Chrome)

    Hi There,
    I realise there have been threads on this subject but I seem to have tried everything besides re-installing ML at this stage.
    When loading any flash content on any website within Safari - I receive a 'Plug-in Failure' message where the content should appear.
    I feel the problem has been occurring since downloading the newest update
    I was hoping someone could point out if I had missed out on something
    Here are the steps I have taken to attempt to resolve this...
    1. Uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of Flash. (This actually did work once for about a half an hour, i've tried it about half a dozen times)
    1a. Turning my computer off and on again
    1b. Attempted downgrading my Flash version but the flash installer kept failing.
    2. Logged into a guest account (Flash didn't work in safari)
    3. Booted up in Safe Mode (Flash worked but very slowly)
    4. Reset Safari (Flash didn't work)
    5. Disabled Extensions (Flash didn't work)
    6. Enabled Plug-ins & Java within Safari (Flash didn't work)
    7. Removed plug ins that I believed may be effecting it (Flip4Mac) (Flash didn't work)
    8. Deleted all data in the pref pane for Flash (Flash didn't work)
    9. Removed all website data within Safari (Flash didn't work)
    10. Tested Firefox and flash is also not working in firefox.
    The console is showing the following Pluginprocess crash:

    The above crash log is repeated several times. (there's more to the log but i thought i'd just paste in the above)
    Desparate to resolve this - chrome is so ugly and buggy! (Not to mention so Google)
    Thanks in advance!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    { launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef 
    Step 4
    ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Flash with QT 7.3 works in Safari, but not in Firefox

    Like many others here, I have been having issues with the upgrade to QT 7.3 and Flash. I've followed a few different suggestions from here on the forums, but I've only been able to get Flash working in Safari; Firefox remains mysteriously broken. Has anyone else been having issues with Flash in Firefox only?
    I'm running Firefox 2.0.0.9 and Flash 9.0.47 (the latest version available for download from Adobe's site). I'm planning on upgrading to 10.5.1 soon, and while I didn't see the Flash/QT problem addressed in the list of bugs that it was supposed to fix, I still wonder if that might help.

    Well, after about five hours retracing my steps, I finally figured out the offending code - it was the submit button.
    On this page:
    http://www.goodsafariguide.com/consumer_add_query/index.php
    It works fine with:
    <input type="submit" name="KT_Insert1" id="KT_Insert1" value="Post your query" />
    But on this page:
    http://www.goodsafariguide.com/consumer_add_query/indexb.php
    It only works in Safari with:
    <input name="KT_Insert1" type="image" id="KT_Insert1" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('KT_Insert1','','../images/buttons/post_enquiry2.jpg',1)" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" value="Post your query" src="../images/buttons/post_enquiry1.jpg" border="0" />
    As its now nearly 2:30am, I'm not going to try to figure why that should be right now.
    Its nothing if not frustrating sometimes, this web design lark!

  • Sites that use adobe flash player work on safari but not on firefox-it keeps asking me to download adobe flash player

    Whenever I try to use a web site that needs Adobe Flash Player, Firefox asks me to download it. When I download it and try again, it still asks me to download. When I access the same web site using Safari, I have no problem. This is true for many web sites - whichever ones require Adobe Flash Player.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == several months ago

    Carole,
    You do not seem to have Adobe Flash (aka Shockwave Flash) installed. If you did you would see it listed under your plugins. Follow the instructions in the article below to install Flash in Firefox.
    See: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+the+Flash+plugin
    After the installation, check your version here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    or here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    Current version is: 10.1.53.64

  • Flash page works in Safari but not in Firefox

    I generate my web pages using LR. When I launch my pages on Safari they look great but on Firefox the slideshow portion is sized MUCH smaller. I have attached the page herehttp://www.8aphotography.com/Interior_Photography_Page/index.html. Please check out on both Firefox and Safari to see what I mean. If anyone can give guidance that would be much appreciated.

    I figured it out. I did not have a </div> at the end of a group of text I added. Funny how Firefox picked it up but not Safari.

    Not a bummer. What is wrong with the OS you are now using?

  • Flash Player works in Safari but not Internet Explorer 9

    I've installed Flash Player 10.3 and it works in Safari but not Internet Explorer 9. When I look in Manage Add-Ins I see Flash Shockwave but not Flash Player. My operating system is Windows Vista Ultimate (32bit). Safari is 5.0.5 and IE 9 is 9.0.8112.16421. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Flash Player and uninstalling Norton 360. Nothing has worked so far. Can you help?

    Thank you for your reply. Shockwave is loaded and enabled.
    The files in flash directory are: a folder called FlashPlayerTrust: file, flash10q.ocx: file, FlashInstall.log; file, FlashUtil10q_ActiveX.dll; file, FlashUtil10q_ActiveX.exe, file, install.log.
    There is no file: NPSWF32.dll.
    When I test the browsers I get no spinning logo in either Safari or IE9. Safari says: missing plug-in, where I think the logo should be. IE-9 says nothing at the same location.
    Thanks.

  • Flash in Safari but not in Firefox or vice versa?

    Can I have Adobe Flash enabled on Safari, but not on Firefox?
    I'd like regular, usable browser and one very safe, minimal browser.

    HI,
    Not sure if that is possible but an alternative is to use ClickToFlash available here.
    Free, easy to install, compatible with Safari 5 + and Snow Leopard v10.6.4
    http://clicktoflash.com/
    When you visit a site where Flash content is streamed, just control or right click to start Flash.

  • Flash not working in Safari (and Chrome and Firefox) - possible solution

    Yesterday my Mac crashed (actually when I was away from it) and when it rebooted, Adobe Flash would freeze any web browser it ran in (Safari, Firefox and Chrome - which surprised me as I thought it used a different version of Flash). Great with so many live-blogs happening in the world of news right now.
    I tried all the usual suspects:
    * Deleted browser caches;
    * Uninstalled Flash (Adobe have an uninstaller available) and reinstalled the same version;
    * Uninstalled Flash and reinstalled the newest version;
    * Made sure I had no duplicate fonts (I did) as I'd experienced problems with this with an iPhoto upgrade;
    * Checked recent upgrades (iWeb and Camera updates) to see what they installed (nothing dangerous);
    * Fixed permissions (they needed it);
    * Tried running Safari under 32-bit (didn't think that would work as I hadn't updated Flash itself);
    * Signed in as another user.
    None worked.
    As a last resort, I downloaded the latest version of the Onyx utility (freeware) and ran the Maintenance scripts, then, under Cleaning, deleted System cache, User cache, Internet stuff (left the cookies), and Font caches (you'll need to Close all the dialog boxes then Restart at the end). Expect a long reboot.
    That worked.
    It may not work for everyone but may for someone.

    I was having the same issue. I logged into another account, a plain no add-ons account and found that I could view flash content with Safari OK. That mean that there was some preference file in my primary account that was the culprit.
    Here's how to cull out the bad apple (pun intended):
    Trouble Shooting Preferences
    Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
    If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
    Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
    If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
    This cleared it up. I ended up with 16 items that were not put back in the preference folder.
    Hope this will work for some of you.
    Do you Twango?

  • Flash doesn't work on safari but it works on firefox

    I have osx 10.9.1 and safari 7.0 and i have downloaded and 'successfully' installed flash multiple times over the last few weeks. it still does not work on safari and every site gives me the message 'flash out of date'. the same sites work on firefox though. i need it to work on safari too.

  • 2 Questions - Vertical Menus don't work on Windows but work on Mac

    I have made a horizontal menu with vertical drop downs. Then drop down menus work properly in all "mac" browsers, (Google Chrome, Firefox, Explorer, Safari) but they don't work at (drop down) all on my pc laptop using the same browsers. (Google Chrome, Firefox, Explorer, Safari)
    Why would they work on one platform and not another? Is there something I can add to my source to fix this?
    Also the menu is located above a flash image and on the PC the menus go behind the flash animation instead of on top. It drops down over the flash animation in the mac browsers but not the pc browsers. The Z Index is set to 1000 so that should be correct. Any ideas what's up?
    Also, what would be an inexpensive or free menu creator tool to replace Menu Machine? Does Dreamweaver CS4 have a simple menu creator?

    So why does the menu appear above the flash animation in all mac browsers and not in Windows browsers?
    It's caused by different browsers on various platforms giving a higher priority to flash objects.  Also different among update levels within same browsers.  For example,  Firefox.3.0, Firefox.3.6... Safari 3.0, 3.1, 4.0...
    What is "jQuery Cycle" and how do I use this instead of flash?
    jQuery is a common JavaScript library.  Cycle is a plug-in for making images fade in/out, etc...  See the demos.

  • Flash player work with Safari, but not with Internet Explorer

    My flash player had a problem so I uninstalled it.  I had a problem downloading the player with Internet Explorer, so I successfully download it with Safari.  The player works fine with Safari, but I cannot get it to work with Internet Explorer 8.
    I used to have the Flash Player 10 Active X (10.1.85.3), which I had uninstalled.
    I now have the Flash Player 10 Plugin (10.1.85/3)
    The problem I had downloading the player with IE was that the "allow Active X" information bar never appeared and I was unable to see any download at all.
    How do I get flash to work with my Internet Explorer 8 (8.0.7600.16385)?

    This adobe web site worked easily for me, when I needed to install adobe flash JUST for IE8.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    All you need to do is choose your OS in the top window, then in the bottom window choose "Adobe Flash Player 10.1 for Windows Internet Explorer", and voila, that is what adobe installs!! Give it a go. I had problems too, before I foud this. Diligent

  • Got a new dell laptop. adobe flash works on IE but not with Firefox. Manual installation failed. help!

    When trying to install adobe plugin, it fails, as does trying to do it manually. When trying manually, it says to close firefox then it will work but it doesn't. Again, when under IE, adobe flash works but I prefer Firefox.

    In step one you would have downloaded that file, if Firefox is using the normal configurations you should find it in the same location where you download any other files.
    To find out where Firefox downloads files, in the options window go to the general panel and it should show where files are downloaded to. Alternatively if Firefox stores the history of downloaded files, open the downloads window (you can do that by using keyboard shortcut Control+J), right-click on the install_flash_player.exe entry in the download window and select "Open containing folder"
