Missing Plug-ins for Safari?

OK this is exhausting!
After downloading Adobe Reader I'm unable to open PDF's as it claims Plug-ins are missing?
Where do I find them, how is this resolved and is there an alternative to adobe?
why is there no customer service phone number??
Please help

There are no plug-ins for iOS Safari. Are you actually using a Mac?
You want a phone number for support on FREE software? That's optimistic.

Missing Plug-ins for Safari 4.0.3

I am receiving error messages from certain websites that state that the content contains MIME-type applications and suggests downloading an application such as Adobe Flash player, etc. I have tried to download Adobe Flash player several times but it is not showing up as an installed plug-in when I go to the help menu and click on "installed plug-ins". The subsequent window shows that no plug-ins are installed at all. I also have a Mac-Mini and Macbook that I have used to cross reference with and they have several plug-ins listed when I look at "installed plug-ins". I have already reinstalled Safari to no avail. Any suggestions as to why they might be missing on my iMac or any suggestions on how to restore them (Adobe, Shockwave, etc).

Greetings,
Are you running Mac OS X 10.5.8 as your profile states? If not, update your profile so it's accurate. There is no reason you should be deleting or reinstalling Safari; that is not the problem. You already have Flash installed, so there is no reason to install it again, unless you were upgrading the version, which would then require you to uninstall it first.
Have you tried re-setting Safari, as well as using Disk Utility to Repair Disk Permissions and then restarting Safari to see if the problem continues? Have you tried creating a new User account and testing for this problem there? If not, do that, too.

Missing plug in for Safari.

Two weeks ago safari just stopped showing parts of my automobilemag, caranddriver, motortrend and roadandtrack web pages. Says that I am missing a plug in. Tried to update my version of adobe software and eventually removed it and reinstalled and still i'm missing the plugin and cant see these pages. Anyone encountered this issue. It was out of the blue with no manual system changes or new software installs. Using windows 7 64 bit and all software on the computer is up to date including the 64 bit beta versions of adobe.

Since you posted in the Safari for Mac forum, I assume you are referring to the Safari browser that runs on Mac.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab.
Make sure Java and Enable plug-ins are selected.
On the other hand, if you mean Safari on an iPad, I'm not sure which plugin the game requires.
It would help if you posted the link to the game.

Missing extensions/plug-ins for Safari.

So, I recently had a virus/malware scare and to take care of it (which I did) I got rid of all extensions/plug ins for Safari.
I've currently only got Adobe Flash Player, and nothing else which is really hindering me. I've looked all over but I can't find out what the plug-ins or extensions I need are.
The most recent issue was something about Audio Midi when I couldn't play an audio thing online while looking for guitar chords stuff.
After that gave it a shot by asking Apple, but the closest Apple store is too far to be worth driving to and I can't afford $50 or however much it is to get the info/links/whatever I need.

There's no need to install Safari extensions if you don't wan to, however, there might want to check out the extensions gallery. You may find something useful.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Safari Extensions ...
To avoid malware, open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General
Make sure: Mac App Store and identified developers is selected.
If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

HT201066 There is no QuickTime or any other plug-in for Safari anymore!!

I'm going back to a Windows PC if I can't listen to music on the Internet anymore. I've looked everywhere for a decent plug-in to listen to MP3 files, or any music files, and it doesn't seem to exist. Yet a Windows 8 machine comes with a plug-in to the Explorer from the factory. QuickTime never sounded great to begin with, but to totally take any media away from the browser isn't a good idea. Windows Media used to have a plug-in for Safari, and that cannot be found with an Internet search, either.

Of course there is no plug-in, I don't have one. Plugin missing. I'm trying to get one installed. I have iTunes, RealPlayer, and QuickTime that plays any music file I have on my hard drive. None has an option to install the plug-in to the browser.

Mail 6.6 missing plug-in for PDF view, can't save to RTFD file

Hi,
I see there are some similar queries about this, but no definitive answer. I can't seem to save to RTFD file format, and my sent mail indicates a missing plug-in for where the PDF attachment should be.
I did mess around with the Mail Library a bit to transfer across my mail database from an older machine. Something which did not go smoothly at all.
Is there a way I can fix this?
Thanks.

Job Done. 
ALSO to try.
Update Software
Update Java
IF All else fails backup Mac. and Re-install.

Disabling Adobe Reader XI's Plug-In for Safari Does Not Require Access to OS X's 'Root' Account

Why do the instructions for disabling the Adobe Reader plug-in for Safari say that one needs to do so from OS X's root account even though one only needs to authenticate using their administrator password to do so?

[iPhone] How to make a plug-in for Safari?

Hi!
Is there an ability to create a plug-in for Safari on iPhone, which could interact with user (have several buttons and could open webpages with Safari)?
If so, please, tell in a few words, how this plug-in can be implemented, which documents have useful information related to this, or even if there any source code examples with similar functionality?
Thanks.

This is odd because in the settings for Safari on the iPhone is the ability to turn plugins on and off. If they didn't allow plugins to be written for Safari on the iPhone then why give the ability to turn plugins off?

Missing plug-ins for InDesign CS4? Fehlende Zusatzmodule für InDesign CS4?

Missing plug-ins for InDesign CS4? Fehlende Zusatzmodule für InDesign CS4?
Hello! Hallo!
I am working with CS4 on the Mac OS X, version 10.6.8. I created some InDesign files with it a couple of weeks ago. When I want to open them now again, it shows me a long list of plug-ins that I supposedly have to activate first or I need to buy the newest CS as an alternative.1. How did this problem come off? 2. How can I activate the missing plug-ins?
Ich arbeite mit CS4 auf einem Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. Habe damit vor einigen Wochen mehrere InDesign Dateien erstellt. Wenn ich sie jetzt wieder öffnen möchte, zeigt er mir eine lange Liste von Zusatzmodulen an, die ich angeblich aktivieren muss bzw als Alternative das aktuellste CS kaufen soll.
1. Wie ist das Problem zustande gekommen? 2. Wie kann ich die benötigten Zusatzmodule aktivieren?
Thank you all! Danke schön!

Actually, Indesign only says like "I can't open, because it was saved from a newer version" and does not list any extensions/plugins.
If you now make a new document, save it and open again - will it work?
Those plug-ins are usually enabled/disabled via the Adobe Extension Manager (Menü "Hilfe"->Erweiterungen verwalten).

Troubles with Safari after downloading Safari Beta for Mac

I recently installed the new Safari Beta and have been having problems ever since. My browser constatly crashes and closes. It is a real pain in the arse. Is there any way to go back to the previous non-Beta version of Safari so i can stop this problem?
Thanks and have a great weekend!

Plug-ins for Safari?

Hello
I have a 'test' site here: www.proofreading4students.com/projects.asp
Please ignore the untidy layout - I am only concerned about loading the video correctly at this stage.
There is a video on the page (though it takes a while to download - not sure if that is because of the size of the video file or how to compress it, but any ideas are welcome).
I can see the video in IE and Chrome, but in Safari I get a 'Missing Plug-in' message in the video 'container'. This is the code that loads the video:
<div class="content_image">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="Goldfish.swf" width="300" height="240">
</object>
</div>
What plug-ins do I require, please?
Thanks!

If you were running a Mac the following would have been my answer, but like i said I am ignorant about similar voo-doo on Windows!
Two bugs, one affecting Apple's Mac platform and another attacking Microsoft's Windows, exploit certain Flash player vulnerabilities to install malware onto users' systems, reports ArsTechnica. While users of other operating systems like Linux have yet to report attacks, Adobe's advisory notes the exploit affects all platforms.
Designated as CVE-2013-0634, the first vulnerability targets the Safari and Firefox Web browsers running on OS X, and is also being used as a trojan to deploy Microsoft Word documents containing malware. For Mac users, the flaw affects Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.502.146 or earlier.
On March 1 Apple again blocked Flash Player for Lion and Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5660
The Adobe Flash patch can be found on Adobe’s website, and users can visit this page to check if their software is the most curent version.
You should uninstall any previous version first, and repair permissions after installing the new version.
If you still get a ‘plug-ins blocked’ message:
