OS X keeps blocking Flash

OS X keeps blocking Flash, even though I have successfully downloaded and installed it.  I get "blocked plug-in.  How to fix?

Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then drag or copy the text — do not type it — into the Terminal window and press return:
ls -@AOTel {,/}Library/Internet\ Plugins
Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered — the text, please, not a screenshot.

    You need Flash Player or DivX Player. Both of these programs are used everywhere online; their size is small and will not harm your computer. You should download them from here:

  • I cannot install ITunes 10.6, my computer keeps blocking on it.

    I cannot install ITunes 10.6, my computer keeps blocking on it. At first I had problems with the upgrade, then I couldn't start iTunes anymore, so I had to uninstall it in orde to reinstall it again. However that doesn't work.
    Everytime I run the installation process, it blocks my whole computer when I'm in about 3/4 of the install procedure; The only thing I can do is push the on/off button to turn my PC off...
    I have an iPhone and would like to be able to synchronize my data... Can someone please help me with this...
    I don't know what to do anymore...

    It will work with Windows 7 32 bit.  On a 64 bit you will have to install Windows XP Mode.  You can download it from the Microsoft Website.  The XP Mode will run Windows XP in 32 bit.  Microsoft has easy instructions on the download.  One download at a time.  Install the first download then the second download.  You will have to copy your icon from all program and paste to the desktop if you are going to use it often.

    my apple tv light just keeps on flashing, and i can't restart it, any idea's

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • My sisters iPod four keeps on flashing betweeen the start up logo and the homescreen.weve tried charging it, restarting it and even connecting it to the computer but it's still doing it..... What can we do?

    My sisters iPod four keeps on flashing betweeen the start up logo and the homescreen.weve tried charging it, restarting it and even connecting it to the computer but it's still doing it..... What can we do?

    if it is taking screenshots, the home button might be defective from the hardware side. Restoring "as new ipod" without using the latest backup could solve the problem if it would be software related.
    If it's a hardware problem, you should contact Apple and get it serviced, or visit an Apple Store if you have one next to you.

  • I keep getting flashes on my pogo screen and everything is updated except i haven't updated to firefox 5 cus it says it wont support certain items is it safe to update to firefox 5 and still play pogo and will flashes go away

    As stated I keep getting flashing on my screen when playing pogo games. Everything is updated, cache is cleared, javascript is cleared. It is also happening in IE8 now. I prefer using firefox as I am sight impaired and it's easier to use and see. Techs from Webroot and Pogo have checked computer and can't find anything that would cause this. I am afraid to update to firefox 5 for fear it will get worse. HELP please

    From the Firefox help files;<BR><BR>
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.

  • Since upgrading to Lion OS, the wifi connectivity keeps blocking up intermittently and we need to manually keep switching on and off the wifi utility to get the connection back. even locking the preferred wifi network in system preferences does not help.

    Since upgrading to Lion OS 10.7.1, the wifi connectivity keeps blocking up intermittently and we need to manually keep switching on and off the wifi utility to get the connection back. even locking the preferred wifi network in system preferences does not help. This never used to happen with Snow Leopard

    This is a big thank you to Rys Sinnefeldt who posted this fix.
    Rys has made this fix very easy to do and takes literally 2 mins. It involves replacing the Atheros Lion driver 4.0 and replacing it with the snow leopard driver. Don't worry, Rys has made this so simple to do even I could do it and so far I have had no more wifi drops.

  • How to keep Adobe Flash Player up to date on 100 computers?

    I would like to keep 100 computers updated to the latest Adobe Flash Player version when a new version is launched. The users do not have administrative privileges to install software and Adobe Flash Player cannot be updated automatically. There are cases when Adobe Flash Player disappears after a new version is launched.

  • Firefox 34 unstable. Plugins blocked, Flash not working, cannot update Flash. Cannot update FLASH, as Adobe not offering update.

    Repeated crashes with latest Firefox Version 34, running on Win XP SP3. Older Firefox version worked flawlessly. Update was a bad idea, as "security" fixes now block Flash from working. Attempt to update via Adobe cause further problems. Repeated crashes of internal program "plugin-container.exe". Poor product now, fails to provide the basic functionality - ie. viewing Flash video - that most web-brower users require. This solution was "solved" and worked fine, but stupid decisions appear to have been taken to block Flash, rather than fix the security vulnerabilites. Can't the leaky Adobe code just be "sandboxed" so code execution outside of a defined memory area is made impossible? About 1 billion global users rely on Flash, as most
    video delivery websites use it. Just "blocking" the plugin is an arrogant goof's solution to the security problem.
    But Adobe seems to have become obnoxious about not allowing or offering upgrades or fixes of Flash.
    Recommended solution seems to be to download and install Dolphin browser, which is built to at least include Flash support internally.
    Question: <nowiki>**********</nowiki>
    Is there a recommended way to get the Flash plugin installed and working correctly in a recent version of Firefox???
    Step by step instructions should be provided.
    <nowiki>********************</nowiki>
    It is almost 2015, and software development seems to be going retrograde, with "enhancements" simply crashing existing systems, and causing more problems than are solved. No wonder everyone is just disabling upgrades once they get a working
    system. I deeply regret upgrading to Firefox Ver. 34, as it does not run Flash video correctly now.

    *** SOLVED *** !!!
    I was having strange problems re. Youtube+Flash website.
    Turned out to be some hard-coded ip-redirection in my "hosts" file.
    I found it by searching and reading all the "youtube" related Mozilla FIrefox support forums. Thanx for this forum, guys. It is a good resource. And I apologize for my cranky, petulant initial comment. It was inappropriate. The error was mine completely.
    Problem was an old hard-coded fix that I put into my HOSTS file, on my Windows XP, SP3 machine. Specifically, I had experienced hang issues with a site called "i.ytimg.com", which I believe is the static cache for Google/Youtube stuff. I tracked this error down to failures of security certificates, but confirmed my security cert store was isometric between my machine cluster (they were all the damn same!)
    So, I had put two lines in the HOSTS file, to hard-code an IP address so that Google-youtube pages would not hang up waiting for "i.ytimg.com"
    Well, of course, Google/Youtube is now using different locations, or akami servers or some damn thing...
    The fix just involved removing these two hard-coded lines from my HOSTS file. I just commented the old fix out, and now everything works.
    <pre>
    # --- two lines added to fix i.ytimg.com hang problem
    # 74.125.162.39 static.cache.l.google.com s.ytimg.com
    # 74.125.162.39 static.cache.l.google.com i.ytimg.com
    </pre>
    (The # symbol is used to make a comment in hosts file... )
    On Windows XP, XP3, the "hosts" file is typically located in:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
    If you are having goofy problems with some youtube/google webpages
    not rendering, or generating SSL (bad_certificate) errors, check your
    "hosts" file, and ensure no ip redirection has been slotted in there
    from a while back.
    Hope this helps others...

  • On yahoo email, cannot compose message. error message says..browser is blocking flash. how to fix?

    my yahoo e-mail opens without problem. e-mail can be opened and read without problem. Cannot compose outgoing email.
    I press compose ... nothing happens. Error window states..browser is blocking flash. help

    This may be a problem with the Yahoo site.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
