Missing Flash plugin all of a sudden

So all of a sudden everything that requires Adobe Flash on my MacBook (2008 version) doesn't work and says there's a "missing plugin". YouTube provides a link to Adobe's website to download the latest version of Flash, however when I try to download it from the website, it doesn't download; in fact absolutely nothing happens.
So I uninstalled Flash on my laptop completely, and then downloaded it again with Firefox (the full version wouldn't even download from Safari), but even after re-downloading it, I'm still getting the "missing plugin" notice (even with Firefox), and the update still won't download from Safari.
Not only that, at the same time I'm now often getting these popups that say "Safari is no longer responding because of a script on the webpage "[insert webpage name and link]". Do you want to stop running the script, or let it continue?" The button choices are "Stop", which makes the message just reappear if clicked, and "Continue", which makes it go away.
So basically, how can I fix these problems (and are they related)? I've searched the internet forever and cannot find a solution. Hopefully someone here can help. BTW I do have plugins enabled in Safari, so that's not the issue.

  Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plug-ins
   Different versions of Flash Player? 
   _Flash Player.Plugin    with old date
     Flash Player.Plugin    with new  date
  Delete _Flash Player Plugin
If there are
      Flash Player.plugin
      flashplayer.xpt
  Delete flashplayer.xpt with older date
  Keep  FlashPlayer.plugin
           Flashplayer.xpt
Uninsall and reinstall Flash

  • Annoying message "missing Flash Plugin"

    Hello,
    I dont have flash installed. Is there a (terminal) way to disable the "missing plugin"-message,
    which I have on every internet site?
    many thanks

    thanks for reply, I'm only interested, I have machines with flash installed, too,
    but on this one I dont need it.
    the dialog comes from Safari I think, not from the website.
    It seems to be a dependency to install flash, or a need of clicking everytime the closebutton.
    Maybe better would be an alert-notification without closebutton, or a checkbox like "do not show this message again"
    I thought, maybe someone knows a terminal command available.-

  • Eye Candy plugins, all of a sudden, don't work anymore...

    I have FW CS5 on Windows 7 (64 bit).  I have been using various Eye Candy plugins (by Alien Skin) for about a year, and they worked fine.  But yesterday, seemingly for no reason, they all stopped working (Eye Candy 5 [Impact, Nature, Textures], Image Doctor, Xenofex 2).  When I access them via the Properties panel, and I click on one of them, nothing happens.  And when I access them via the drop-down menu at the top of the UI, under Filters, I get an error message:  "Could not complete your request.  An internal error occurred."
    I have tried re-installing the plugins and FW, but that didn't change anything.  I deleted the preferences and that didn't help either.  All my other plugins work fine. Any ideas?

    Thanks for posting. We had to discontinue support for Fireworks due to multiple issues caused by the Live Effects. At this time we do not have any plans to bring back support for Fireworks, but that could change. I can not make any promises on that matter though. If you are on a Windows computer, you stand a better chance at getting it to work than if you are on a Mac, but still, the success rate on Windows is about 50%.
    Since the gold standard for plug-ins is Photoshop compatiblity, Fireworks should in theory handle them. Since it won't it's likely Adobe has either inadvertently broken something, or they are only allowing older plugins to run. Since we are always updating and using the latest versions of software to create out plug-ins, this creates an extra layer of possible problems. Eitherway, complaining to Adobe in mass, would be the best route to take. Im sure it seems like the requests go into a void, but if you get a lot of people asking for the same thing, you may get a response.
    Rest assured, if we ever decided to bring back Fireworks support, we will scream it from the top of every mountain.
    If you don't mind me asking, what other plug-ins do people use in Fireworks, besides Eye Candy?

    and
    2. iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126).
    Now I've checked the forums and followed the advice of uninstalling all Apple applications, rebooting, and reinstalling iTunes.
    This is not working. I've tried installing as Administrator but doesn't make any difference at all.
    There must be a way to fix this? I'm not a tech geek but I want to avoid having to take my laptop back to factory settings to sort this out.
    Thanks

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Flash plugin hangs all browsers on my mac

    Starting about a week ago, about 1/3 of sites that use flash cause my browser to hang.   It's not browser specific - happens the same in Firefox, Safari, and Opera.   Symptom is complete freeze of the browser, requiring force quit.   An easy reproduce is http://www.chase.com ; that site crashes my browser with 100% repeatability.
    Disabling the flash plugin completely fixes the problem, but then I can't see flash content.
    System details:
    OS:  Mac OS X 10.5.8
    Hardware:   Mac Pro Quad-core 2.66Ghz
    Flash player version:  10.0.43_34
    Browser: All        
    I have already tried all of the following:
          • Uninstalling / reinstalling flash player.
          • Deleting/rebuilding browser profiles
          • Installing every version of player 10.x available in the archive, and a couple versions of 9.x ... all cause the same problem.
    Interesting note:
         • Problem does not occur on my MacBook Pro, which has a nearly identical software configuration.
    I have filed a bugreport, but what good does that do me?  I don't even have privileges to view the bugreport, so I don't know whether it's been responded to or not.   In the meantime, half the web is unusable because everybody uses flash.

    I had this exact same problem with my macbook pro 2.6Ghz laptop
    I was running OSX 10.5.7 with flash 8 or so when some websites I frequent forced me to upgrade. The player didn't work off the bat and after re installing the player as well as all my browsers, repairing permissions I was starting to lose hope. I got the latest system update to 10.5.8 and afterward determined it was the plugin itself that was the problem. Couldn't fix it by removing the plugin from my library files, and even worse couldn't find Flash 8 or 9 ANYWHERE to downgrade.
    The installer itself is pretty useless as you can only choose the drive to install the plugin and not integrate it seperately into your browsers as you choose. I suppose this is for convenience, but when it doesn't work it's a real bummer. Some linux users I know have far more problems with flash 10 than I do, so I'm thankful to have recieved at least minimal support for my platform from Adobe.
    I hypothesized that Adobe simply did not create a very versatile plugin, and that since everyone and their dog has snow leopard (with no flash problems whatsoever) that snow leopard managed to recieve better support. Sure enough installing snow leopard and re-installing the plugin has yielded no problems so far. Good thing I had a free snow leopard upgrade disk with my computer or I, like many other people here, would still be unsatisfied.
    What has flash 10 done for me that flash 8 hasn't? Nothing but headaches so far.
    Overall Adobe satisfaction rating: 3/10
    You guys have made great code in the past! Stop being lazy!

  • All of a sudden, I can't watch any of my films from the Event Library, it also says 'Source Clip is missing' in the other window, I haven't even touched anything that I know of?

    Hi
    I haven't even touched anything that I know of?
    And You've not moved or emptied any folder on Your Hard Disk named
    • iMovie Event's - or -
    • iMovie Project's
    Or - disconnected any external hard disk/s
    As one CAN NOT move the Event's or Project's on / via DeskTop/Finder - AS iMovie then loses the connection to them. Moving them - MUST BE DONE - within iMovie application - to work OK.
    So if You by meaning or accident moved it/them - Move them back - and iMovie might work again.
    ELSE - If You are 100% sure that You didn't move them then
    • Trash iMovie Pref and Cache files
    • Run Repair Permissions - Disk Util tool
    • Run Repair Hard Disk - Disk Util tool - BUT YOU MUST Start-Up Your Mac from DVD or External HD to do this
    and may be all will work OK again

  • You tube is fine but Video from other sites will not play in any browser all of a sudden. I have latest version of firefox (16.something) flash and all plug in

    I cannot play videos from many sites. Everything was fine up until a few days aago. You tube works fine but others will not. I have firefox 16.something and latest versions of flash. All plug ins are there and enabled. Have read through many support threads and nothing is working. This happens on chrome and ie as well.

    You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

    help is appreciated, thanks

    Flash 9 r45 is way too old and a lot of Flash content won't work with such an old version.<br />
    If you want to revert to an older Flash version then get the latest Flash 10.3 version that is still maintained with security updates
