My Safari 8 is not playing flash videos!
Hi,
my
Safari Version 8.0 (10600.1.25.1)
My mac: O SX Yosemite, MacBook Air 2012
My flash is the latest one
After upgrading my mac to the latest versions of all things! I have problems with (some) websites that play video online.
Some videos said you have to update your flash java! even though my flash is the latest one!
I don't know how to fix that!
Disappointed with Yosemite!
1. System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
Press the "Delete All" button.
Install Adobe Flash Player.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Download it first.
The next step is important.
Click Safari in the menubar and select “Quit Safari”.
Follow the prompts and install it.
Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2. Allow Plug-ins
Safari > Preferences > Security
Internet Plug-ins > "Allow plug-ins"
Enable it.
3. Safari > Preferences > Privacy
Press the button “ Remove All Website Data”.

Many websites will not play flash video
Really hoping for help with this.
Most sites won't play flash video (can't remember all of them, but they include BBC, CBC, & major online news & business sites). I don't think it's a site problem.
[YouTube works].
Safari version is current. "Block pop-up windows" is off. Gimme Blocker is on. There are no extensions installed.
If there's other info to be provided, please LMK.
Thanks!Hi,
Follow the instructions for troubleshooting Flash here.
You may need to delete Flash cookies, instructions for that here.

Trying to solve my non-playing flash videos wherever I surf in Firefox 401 w Flash plugin 10.2.159.1, such as CNN or anywhere really while surfing. Even at the Adobe web site I cannot play demo videos and I own CS4 Suite. I can play any YouTube video I select.
I surf in Firefox 401 w Flash plugin 10.2.159.1. Don't tell me to UNINSTALL then REINSTALL the flash player as I have done that too many times.
I logged out and logged into my clean account where I install nothing. No joy.
What the heck is the problem? No one else seems to have this problem as I am told many play CNN videos fine.Hi arpriltime,
Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-or-flash-plugin-crashes Flash plugin troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of useful information in there that should help you get to the bottom of your issue.
Hopefully this helps! -
Safari does not recognize flash plug-in and will not play flash video
I use Safari as my go-to browser for web sites that would otherwise require me to turn off my several ad-block/flash-block plugIns for Firefox. I do have it set to ask for permission ('Trust this site?') for every time I use flash on a new site (since I reset Safari regularly and clear all cookies every time I close it this means every time, every site, it asks). New problem started sometime in the past week: Safari is returning a 'download flash' icon on some videos on some web sites--but on others it correctly goes through the 'trust this site to use flash?' routine and when I click 'trust now' it plays the video normally. Trying to figure out if this is a Safari problem, flash problem, or web site problem. How can Safari both recognize that flash is being asked for (that's why it shows me the 'download flash now' icon, right?) and not recognize that it has flash installed?
Safari Version 7.0.4 (9537.76.4)If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them. -
Namoroka will not play Flash videos
Anytime I try to view a site with Flash video, such as YouTube, Namoroka always says the Adobe plug-in needs updated. Even when I download and reinstall Flash, the site shows the same error message
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcYdv6pKTqA
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100405 Namoroka/3.6.3The problem with the flash player not installing on demand is because by default they are offering you the 32-bit version. You have to go to the Adobe site and download and install the 64-bit version.

Safari Web Plugin not playing certain videos
For the past several days I have been trying to stream a local TV station's broadcast through a link on their website. Initially the site told me I needed a Web Plugin to play this certain type of video file (video/x-ms-wmv). I downloaded Flip4mac to play Windows Media Content and thought that would fix my problem. However, the stream still does not work, and instead of a receiving a missing Plugin message, I just get a white box where the video should be playing. I have been playing around with all the different settings (including MIME) within Quicktime and Flip4mac and have been unsuccessful no matter what I do. If someone could help me with this issue I would be very grateful.
Here is the link to the live stream I'm trying to view: http://www.bctv.org/bctv/watchlive/wlbctv/Dentistry for Life?
That is a Flash video.
Even if you have the latest version of Flash player, it can sometimes repair things if you uninstall it, then reinstall Flash Player.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe. -
It works with youtube, but not my model railroader site. I have added the website to the exceptions list and contacted their administrator. Their administrator says firefox must be blocking it.
I can play the video, but on my connection, it seems to pause and drop some frames every several seconds.
If you haven't already tried this:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
This might not be related, but some users have reported that the Epson E-Web Print extension causes some glitches with the user interface in Firefox 29-30. If you do not use that extension much, you might try disabling it for a time to see whether that affects anything.
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then you can disable individual extensions on the right side. -
W520 will not play flash videos unless buffered in all browsers (youtube works...)
I just bought my W520 referbished and I cannot watch flash videos unless they are fully buffered. Several places suggests it has something to do with F-secure which does not appeared to be installed. It also only effects certian players - not all. I tried it on a verity of websites and have found that JWPlayer is one of them. Youtube works fine. I have tried reinstalling Flash - I have updated all of my browsers (IE, Firefox [default], and Chrome). Could this be a hardware problem? Something to do with Optimus?
Solved!
Go to Solution.ajipaul,
Can you share the links for both of the videos which work and does not work fine?
We tried our W520 streamming 1080p video from youtube and they work fine. Not sure if we got your issues right.

Safari 5.0 - Trouble playing flash video
So, I just got a new Core i7 Macbook Pro, and I'm trying to watch hulu or trailers full screen, and regardless of how low the resolution of the video, it's choppy and stutters when it's made full screen. When it plays embedded, it's just fine.
If I play the same video in Chrome fullscreen, smooth as silk. I'm not sure what to make of it.
Is there a fix, or is this a known issue, or do I have some sort of lemon Safari install? Is there a problem with the Flash Plugin?
I'm on the latest version of Flash Player, 10.1.53.64. I've uninstalled and re-installed Flash multiple times, I've repaired disk permissions multiple times. I'm running out of things I can think of.
Any ideas?
Additionally, with flash content in Safari, sometimes Flash will 'crash' and my screen will get all garbled. It hangs around until I restart my computer, and affects functionality in Safari and Chrome, and it feels as if there's a general slowdown.So, I just got a new Core i7 Macbook Pro, and I'm trying to watch hulu or trailers full screen, and regardless of how low the resolution of the video, it's choppy and stutters when it's made full screen.

Using a proxy to access the internet (this is not the problem as chrome works fine and HTML5 works fine)
Flash Player 11.8
Browsers: IE 8, IE9, IE10, FireFox, Chrome
Chrome plays videos fine
HTML5 Player plays fine in all browsers
IE8, 9, and 10 do not play videos; it starts to play then loops then dies with youtube error message
FireFox does not play youtube videos same as IE
I tried all solutions found on the internet, adjusting browser settings or uninstalling and reinstalling flash none of it worked.

Repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the menu bar, quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
