No Plugins! (like flash player)
A few weeks ago, I noticed that all of my safari plug ins (the ones like Flash Player and Quicktime Player, not things like Inquisitor, which still work) stopped working. Where there would be, say, a game or a movie, there is now blank space. I reinstalled flash player, with no effect. The installed plugins page claims that they are still installed. I was forced to switch to firefox. I hoped that the next update of safari would fix my problem, but the latest version, 3.1, did not.
Sorry, I should have phrased that as a question: What do I do to get my plugins working again?

Please help! We got a used Mac Mini and we don't have the former owner's password, so we can't install anything like flash player. Does anyone know how to get around this? I don't know how to wipe the hard drive, and the support online doesn't seem to work.
As posted previously:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
If installing Leopard the process is similar in some respects. If you wish to begin anew then after selecting the target disk click on the Options button and select the Erase and Install option then click on the OK button. To install over an existing system do the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update. -
Is there a software like flash player for ipad.what software do I exactly need in order to play videos from websites?
NKafafi88-
There may be a couple Apps that may help, but I understand they don't work very well. The best solution would be to contact the owners of the websites and let them know they need to update their site.
The alternative I use, is to download the problem video onto my computer, and convert it to M4V or MP4 format using a program like HandBrake <HandBrake>. Then it can be added to iTunes and synced with the iPad.

Silent update Adobe Reader while used (like Flash Player)
Hi everyone,
I wanted to know if there is a way to update Adobe Reader while people are using it. I know that Flash Player can be updated while Internet Explorer or Firefox are used by users. Then flash player updates itsell when the browser is closed.
So is there an install switch or a way to install Adobe Reader updates while people are using it like Flash Player ?
Thanks in advance.If you swith Adobe Reader to automatic updates, it will intelligently try to update when user is not using the product for a few (I think 3) days. If it can't find an appropriate time, it will update and aks the user to reboot.

Some flash content (like flash player settings) not visible
Hello,
I am running the newest versions of Flash Player in both FireFox 3.6 and IE8 on Windows XP Pro.
I can see most Flash things (like this page: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ which in both browsers says "You have version 10,0,45,2 installed"). Several things do not appear. For instance, none of the Settings Panel windows show up. Also, some Facebook apps do not work (i.e. Pet Society) while others by the same vendor (i.e. Crazy Planets) work fine.
Both browsers behave the same. I cannot see the settings windows in either one.
I have run the uninstaller, and re-installed Flash several times.
I'll be grateful for whatever help can be provided.
JI actually tried an older version of 10, but yes, I went back to the current version.
The only Java is Java 6 update 18, I ran the Java update and it confirms that I'm current. Adobe DLM and GetPlus are already gone.
Here's the plugins from IE8 ("All Add-ons" not just the currently used ones):

Could we concentrate on getting it running in IE? I never use IE and am willing to do any necessary experiements on it. It's more difficult to type up all my Firefox extensions and plugins (no easy copy & paste), and I would rather leave my otherwise fully functional Firefox installation alone. If not, maybe there's a plugin that dumps info about all the plugins into a text file.

Can one write a plugin for flash player
I am new to flash development, I was wondering if there was any way one could extend flash player using plugins. If one can, then are there any resources where I can start looking at. Basically I want my plugin to get loaded when adobe flash player plugin is loaded inside the browser. Any help on this is appreciated.
Ndippy,
Folks on here are pretty good about helping out others who
are trying to learn actionscript, or have trouble with
understanding concepts. They are less likely to volunteer to do an
entire project for you. I'd suggest trying to do it yourself, and
asking specific questions about the process. Both of your posts are
way to general to allow anyone to give advice that would be
worthwhile. You have said that you have 60 .swfs in your first
post. However, in your second, you said they were 60 quicktime
files. There are very different processes for each option there.
Are you planning to display 20 at once, or let people scroll
through them? What size are your clips and what size are you
developing for?
Start small, like just trying to load one movie clip
randomly, and then work your way up. Experiment with changing the
positions, sizes, etc. When you run into trouble, ask a specific
question about what you are trying to do, and people will be happy
to help. -
I have had problems with firefox crashing for the last three month. I have updated to the latest version with the crash protection. Now the flash player crashes about every 20 minutes or so. On your blog page you state that I will get the crash page when the plugin has been non-responsive for 45 seconds well with mine the games are going along just fine then wham crash page. Flash player was responding and you gave me crash report anyway. What's up???? Flash player is crashing within seconds not 45 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your check plugin page always states that my plugins are UP TO DATE!!!!!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== three months ago and getting worse with every upgrade you send!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''''"I have had problems with firefox crashing for the last three month."'''''
You need to investigate the cause of your crashes that started prior to the release of the first Firefox version that offered crash protection, version 3.6.4, released in mid to late June 2010; that is just over one month ago.
<u>'''The crash protection feature does not prevent a plugin from crashing, it prevents the whole Firefox browser from crashing because of a crashing plugin; only the tab with the crashing plugin crashes.'''</u>
For information about report plugin crashes see: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Plugin+crash+reports
You need to post the crash Report IDs for the crashes occurring over the last 3 months. To do so, type '''about:crashes''' in the URL/location/address bar, then copy and paste the Report IDs (only) into your reply. See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+crashes#Getting_help_with_your_crash
In addition, please do the following. Type '''about:support''' in the URL/location/address bar, on the screen presented, click "Copy all to Clipboard" and paste that into your reply. -
When I log onto PMI for my classroom the install plugins window comes up, I press install and the Adobe Flash Player 10.3 pops up and it has been running now for 3 hours, is this normal? I have shut it down but had the same problem when I again tried to access my online classroom. What do I do?
Hi, Sometimes users with understanding of what Adobe programs you are using will post. It doesn't happen very often.
If you had a personal computer and had problems with Flash Player then of course this Forum would be where it would be addressed.
Flash Player is used with all of the Adobe programs and when those programs are involved, then those Forums relate to Flash Player from those perspectives. Flash Player is not a standalone, that would be the Projector. Neither is Flash Player unrelated to the Adobe programs you use.
These terms: fast switching the slides, the player crashes in cases, when a progressive videostream is canceled, Tweener, the gui for the volume control before the gui is initialized, so the player try to access a null reference. It is for me impossible to develope content
told me clearly that your issue involves much more than Flash Player, debug or not.
If you can see the animation at this site and the correct version of Flash Player is displayed, then Flash Player is Installed correctly and should be working. If not, then since I'm not versed in the programs you are using and possible conflicts, I would not be the one to assist you. So your choice is to wait here on this Forum for someone that can, or take my advice and start a thread on one of the other applicable Forums.
Also you have a Mac. We have more threads that the Mac users put up than Mac helpers:-)

Hi, First make sure you are using the Administrator Account. Download and SAVE to your Desktop this Flash Player Installer for Firefox:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
Close all browser windows, disable an app in the system tray that uses Flash, messenger services, Anti-Virus that runs in realtime.
RUN the Installer from your Desktop and then Reboot your computer.
Test here and if you see the animation and the version number, then Flash Player has been Installed correctly.

Hi Mike,
First of all, thank you so much for responding and sorry I forgot to mention my CPU; fortunately I **DO** have the 2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor so I could upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Two Questions:
1. Do you know whether Snow Leopard sold by Apple is an upgrade or "clean install?" If it's not a clean install, do you know (off-hand) if there are any upgrade issues? I'm very partiall to a clean install.
2. Why does Adobe state (for updating Flash Player 10.3 when Adobe knows that [most likely] the 10.3 versions run on Mac OS 10.5.x? See statement and link below...

http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2013/05/extended-support-release-updated-to-flash-playe r-11-7.html
We’re happy to announce that we are updating the version of our extended support release to Flash Player 11.7 on Mac and Windows. Flash Player 11.7 will replace version 10.3 as the extended support version beginning July 9, 2013.
In order to continue receiving security updates, an upgrade to either Flash Player 11.7, or the standard Flash Player 11.8 release is required.
Flash Player 11.7 provides exciting new features, including Actionscript concurrency, webcam support for StageVideo and more. It also enables Protected Mode for FireFox on Windows, a sophisticated security-in-depth feature. With Protected Mode, Flash Player runs as restricted process, making it more difficult for attackers to build working exploits. Click here to learn more.
Flash Player 11.7 leverages hardware acceleration for audio, video and rendering to increase performance and lower CPU usage.
To ensure the smoothest possible transition, we encourage IT organizations deploying Flash Player 11.7 in managed environments to thoroughly test audio and video playback for critical use-cases using the latest available version before deploying this release widely. When hardware-related playback and stability problems do arise, updating to the latest hardware drivers frequently resolves these issues.As a secondary workaround, the Flash Player Administrator’s Guide details mechanisms for disabling hardware and audio acceleration via mms.cfg.
We have been hard at work to make Flash Player better than ever, and we look forward to continuing to serve you with a great web experience. -
I have latest flash player installed but note also have Flash Player 11 plugin 64 -bit installed from 2012, do i need this?
The updater should overwrite the plugin files on your system for 32 and 64 bit. If you're unsure, do a clean install:
