Novice seeks help with "Blocked Plug-In"

My MBA (2011, OSX 10.6.8) is telling me "blocked plug-in" whenever I try to play anything video.  Can't access Youtube, can't play stuff friends have sent to me.  The only change lately is that I downloaded a new version of Adobe a few days ago, but I think I was able to play a video on Youtube after that.  I am a 68 year old non-tecchie grandmother, and barely know how to turn on my macbook.  Can anyone help?  I'd like to play video of grandkidlets playing soccer...

"Blocked Plugin" is a tough one. Usually it can't be gotten around because Apple doesn't allow "downgrading" plugins.
These steps have worked in a very limited few cases.
Download the offline installer: Flash Player (Mac OS X)
Download the Shockwave FULL Installer here: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/otherversions/
Save the files - DON'T run them yet.
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
Trash the Flash Player.plugin file and the flashplayer.xpt file from there.
Go to: Mac HD/Library/PreferencePanes
Trash the Flash Player.prefPane from there.
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Trash the Flash Player Install Manager folder and Shockwave 12 folder (if it's there)
Also in Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe, trash the Macromedia folder (if it's there)
Go to: [user]/Library/Preferences
Trash the Macromedia folder
Empty the trash.
Making sure your browser is fully quit, run the Flash Player Installer and the Shockwave Installer.
Open Safari and go to Safari>Preferences
Under the Security tab, Make sure "Allow all other plugins" is checked.
Hopefully, that will do it.

  • Novice seeking help with PSD vs. JPEG in PSE12

    I am changing from PSE8 to PSE12 and realized upon trying 12 today that PSE12 automatically saves my edited pictures in PSD format where PSE8 saved them in JPEG.  I don't use the organizer for catalogs, instead opening up folders where I've saved my pictures (e.g. Christmas 2013)and editing the photos I like in PSE8 and then saving them back in that same folder.  It may not be the 'right' way, but it works for me.  The picture I tried using PSE12 on, saved in the PSD format which isn't viewable in those folders (windows picture viewer is the default).  I truly only use PSE for improving pics I like and want to share/email, use as my desktip background, post to Facebook, and print for myself or gifts via uploading to a photo printing service (Mpix, Walmart, etc.)  Is there a way to have PSE12 default to saving as JPEG or should I be saving everything as PSD?  I get that PSD only works with PS and takes more space, but doesn't cause loss of quality of the pictures the way JPEG does ~ I'm just not sure it's important for the way I use PSE.  Help for a novice?

    Save as Tiff instead. You don't really want to save as jpeg unless you're certain you're not going to edit anymore and as you've discovered, PSD isn't well understood by other programs. Tiff lets you keep your layers and not have any quality loss like you'd get from saving as jpeg over and over.

  • I'm having trouble with blocked plug -in

    Hi, I'm having some trouble when going on to websites, I'm continually faced with BLOCKED PLUG-IN....coming on screen, saying my Adobe flash player is out of date. I have downloaded the new version so many times it's ridiculous, however to no avail, as when I return to same site or visit a new site, I am again faced with the same msg, BLOCKED PLUG-IN....ARGH frustrating, I know it must be something simple I'm missing here, would really appreciate some help, THANK YOU....

    It should work if you have a Symbol and Text Substitution set for hans't → hasn't. Are you sure you have this substitution checked, or Symbol and Text Substitution checked overall?

  • Why won't Adobe flash load and why am I now left with blocked plug ins ?!!

    Yesterday I received a demand via Safari to download latest version of Adobe flash player.
    I did so and immediately found my system virtually unusable, with blocked plug ins at every turn. Neither has the flash player actually installed, despite constant attempts.  I have removed previous versions, etc, restarted the Mac etc, taken every bit of advice going.
    24 hours later and having wasted nearly a whole day,  I am still left with a Mac with applications I cannot now access which were running to perfection before trying to download Adobe flash player.   Hugely frustrating and annoying.

    I had a different issue in that the install hung at 95% but I used a manual install and that fixed the problem. See if this works for you as it appears that the installer is buggy.
    Use the "Manual Install" mode. Control-click on Install Adobe Flash Player.app
    "In the Contents/Resources folder, you’ll find a file named Adobe Flash Player.pkg. Double click it"
    That worked.
    Just to mention, you do not need to restart the system after installation

    There is no cache where the emails would be stored on the iPad, but you could try quitting the mail app and then launch it again and see if the emails return.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Tap the home button. Then try mail again.

  • Adobe flash player on Mountain lion is incompatible, I can no longer watch you.tube, live direct tv..........says i have to upgrade the flashplayer and it will not update!!!!  Help, says  "blocked plug-in"

    I recently updated to Mountain Lion and now I cannot watch Youtube, Direct tv live feed because it says I need to update.  But, my computer will not let me.  Says I have a "blocked plug-in"  Help!!!!!!!!!

    You should only ever download Flash from that link. If a site pops up a message offering you a link to download Flash, don't take it. It might be the Adobe auto-update, but it might equally well be malware - there have been problems along these lines.

    All of a sudden, any graphics from any website display a blank screen that says: "Blocked plug-in", and routes me to request an update from Adobe Flash player. When I install, I go back into a loop > Blocked plug-in > install update etc. I have a Mac OSX with Safari 5.1.

        Follow the prompts and install it.
        Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.

    2) trash the iPod Photo Cache folder in the iPhoto library folder.
    3) make sure the pics you want are in your iPhoto album(s).

  • Seeking help with software upgrade questions for my PowerBook G4

    I am seeking help/advice for a very low tech guy. I upgraded my PowerBook G4 (ancient I know but I have trouble with our thow away society), to Leopard 10.5.2. However, my iDVD no longer works. I plan on upgrading to iLife'08, but based on the system requirements, I am not certain all of the features (i.e. iMovie'08) will work on my older processor. Before I upgrade to iLife, can anyone tell me if I should do it and if they will work on my all the features will work on my PowerBook G4?

    Many prefer iLife'06 to '08, but we went from '05 to '08.
    You are correct in that iMovie'08 will not run on your Book, but when you install iLife'08 you are given the opportunity to download iMovie'06 for free.
    I can't vouch for it fixing your iDVD however.

  • Seeking Help with Album Image Issues in iPod Classic

    Hi folks -
    I have a new 160 iPod Classic and have two album image-related issues I'd appreciate some help with.
    In the case of several albums where I'd associated my own art with them in iTunes, the formatting appeared off in my iPod due to the vertical/horizontal proportions. So I corrected the images, replaced the images via iTunes, and re-synced. All of the old images were replaced - except for two. Is there any way to get my iPod to recognize the change to these two images, as it did for all the others?
    Secondly, my "The Allman Brothers Band Live at Fillmore East" album was appearing twice in both the Cover Flow and Album list. That was strange, except that after the latest sync it now appears six times! It's only in one place in iTunes, and not erroneously set as a compilation or anything. This is the only album displaying this behavior...
    Thanks for any suggestions or advice!
    Frank

  • Help With SkillBuilders Plug-Ins Integration

    Hi All,
    I have the following situation and I appreciate any help regarding to this (Apex Version 4.1.1.00.23):
    I have a Page with the SB Calendar Plug-In, when the user clicks on the Create Event button, a modal page pop-ups with a form that allows the user to enter an event using the Schedule Plug-in. After created, the modal page closes and the calendar is refreshed with the event. This part works fine.
    My problem is with the following situation: when clicking in an existing Event on the Calendar, I want to be able to open the same modal page with the Event Details to allow the user to modify it.
    I tried defining a class in my Calendar query, and specified the URL with the Event Details Page; also, created a Dynamic Action to trigger when the class is clicked (Scope: live) and open the modal, but what it does instead:
    1. The Modal Page opens empty, and immediately
    2. The complete page is redirected to the Event Details Page with the information of the Event.I set up an example on apex.oracle.com:
    Workspace: EDIAZJORGE
    Username: TEST
    Password: test
    Application: 34925 - Schedule Event
    Again, I appreciate any help!
    Thank you and regards,
    Erick

    Erick,
    When the anchor is clicked, its default action is executed, which is to redirect to the href.
    You have bound a click handler to the div container of the anchor. This occurs, and you briefly see the modal start up before the page is redirected.
    So, to fix this the default action on click of the anchor tag has to be prevented.
    You can not specify something like this in the plugin however, and also not from the SQL. Neither can you adjust the dynamic action: adding a "Cancel Event" true action will not fix this.
    I changed the "Edit Event Details" dynamic action jQuery selector from ".eventClicked" to ".eventClickedLink"
    I added a dynamic action "Attach modal page edit to links", which is a "Page load" action. There is a true action which executes javascript:
    $(".eventClicked a").click(function(event){
    event.preventDefault();
    }).addClass("eventClickedLink")This will prevent the default action on click of the anchor tag, which has the eventClicked class on page load, and then add the class eventClickedLink to it, which will allow the modal page dynamic action to react to it (it has to have the dynamic scope too, which it already had).
    The class juggle is necessary. If you'd not use the class names and let the page load, then the modal page dynamic action will already have bound a click handler to the matched elements. Assigning another click handler at that point would have no result.

  • Help with Blocking/Unblocking GL account for posting

    We have a current program to block/unblock GL accounnts for posting and it does direct table update. But this way the user does not know the HISTORY about who did the update. I came to know that by using BDC, history gets created about who made the changes. I am still new to ABAP and with transaction code FS02 I cannot acheive this (blocking/unblocking GL account for posting).
    Is there any other transaction code that would let me do this?
    Is there an easy way of finding out the correct transaction code?
    I found FSSO which is pretty close but my lead said it is not the correct one! Does anyone happen to know the correct transaction code that would let me do blocking/unblocking for G/L account posting?
    Thanks.
    --Mithun

    Hi Mithun,
    FS00 txn is used for blocking GL a/c for posting.
    You can block/unblock GL a/c based on GL A/c and Company code.
    Execute FS00 txn, Click GL account -> Block (in the menubar).
    Block/Unblock based in chart of accounts or in company code.
    Cheers,
    Vikram
