Pop up window on youtube asking permission to store info in my computer

When playing something on Youtube and iPlayer, I get a pop up window about Flash Player Settings-Local Storage. The website is requesting permission to store information  on my computer. I have now update my Flash Player but still get the pop up window. Not sure whether this is normal and what shouls I do. I am concerned about security so, could someone kindly tell me what is this about?
Many thanks in advance.

I get similar messages accessing some sites because of flash settings - it is normal. To see if your messages are caused by the same settings, go to System Preferences > Flash Player:
The Storage button gives something like this:
If this is what your prefrences look like, the message is normal and generated by the Flash player. If these messages annoy you, you can choose "Allow sites to save ..." instead.

    Move cursor onto video.  Right click.  Click Settings,  Click the "never ask again" box. Then click Close.  That will work.
    For some reason, that always worked for me, but in the last two days, it does not work, and it seems to freeze on the
    video.  See, if it works for you.

  • Local Storage issue - Permission to store info on my computer

    Hi-
    I'm pretty frustrated.  I am trying to play video on a particular website and I continue to get a box popping up in the screen that says "the website is requesting permission to store information on your computer."  And then it says "requested:  up to 1MB...currently using: 1KB."  Then I have a choice of selecting "allow" or "don't allow" - neither works, it's frozen.  I've gone to the Abobe website and tried changing my settings, the new settings don't work either.  I've tried uninstalling and re-installing and guess what - doesn't work either.  Any help would be 100% appreciated.

    Perhaps it's a problem with the actual website than the Flash Player itself?  The reason I think this is that you get the "script is taking too long to run" message, which often means the actual actionscript in the SWF is either badly written or stuck in a loop.  I know this, because I regulary lock up the player when writing poor code... I'm tempted to write a SWF that replicates this exact situation in fact.
    Ideally, you could confirm this by getting somebody else to try to access the site, or by accessing it from a different browser.  Though not 100% accurate (the script may behave differently according to user or session data) it might be a good place to start.  It's also possible that the bug doesn't occur in a particular browser, though this is rare as Flash is very consistent these days from one browser to the next, minus a couple of issues.
    A possible alternative solution is to delete the specific Flash cookie and try the site again: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.htm l
    (personally I find that list so vast that I often just delete all Flash cookies).
    However, deleting the flash cookie won't help if you the original SWF on the site is bugged!

  • I installed adobe 9 on my Mt. Lion mac and now whenever I try to play any kind of video a box from adobe comes up asking me to give them permission to store things on my computer. This is scary to me. Should I say yes?

    I installed adobe 11.9 on my computer and now whenever I try to play any kind of video a box comes up from Adobe asking me to give permission to store things on my computer. The boxes are all from adobe but the sites in the boxes differ. Should I say yes?  This is scary to me--virus paranoia.

    You may have the box for 'Ask me before allowing sites...' or 'Block all...' checked in System Preferences - Flash Player, as pictured below... If so, try the 'allow' one instead, or if you prefer, continue to deny/allow when prompted.

  • Just updated Acrobat on my Mac.  NOW tiny windows pop up telling me various sites/groups/people want to store info on my computer.  What's up w/that?  Thanks.

    Just updated Acrobat on my Mac.
    NOW tiny windows pop up telling me various sites/groups/people want to store info on my computer.  They offer choices of "Allow" or "Deny".  Naturally I just close the window w/out clicking on anything.  Anyone know how to eliminate this problem?  It's annoying.
    Thanks.

    These messages sound like something that come from Adobe Flash rather than Adobe Acrobat.

  • Flash page brings up a download window to store info on my computer

    when using an Adobe flash page a small window appears requiring a download (usually 10kb) to get past the grayed-out covering of the flash item. Ad blocker can stop download window, but then the flash page will not appear for use. Quote:
    "Adobe Flash Player Settings
    Local Storage
    cdn.arenaconnect.arkadiumhosted.com is requesting permission to store information on your computer. Requested: up to 10 KB

    Of course, the "request" makes it impossible to get past the Deny to the flash page.

  • Requesting permission to store info on Macbook Pro

    Hi
    Slight concern regarding the following pop-up's;
    I usually click 'ALLOW' when a website might display this type of pop-up window, even though I do not have adobe installed on my Macbook Pro. 
    However, I'm curious when I click 'ALLOW' what is actually being stored and where, on my Macbook Pro? Is there anything I should be concerned about?

    No, uninstalling Flash won't necessarily clear it's cache, you have to do that first in the Flash preference pane in System Preferences before you uninstall it.
    See here
    How to install/uninstall Flash, fix problems
    There are browser plugins like Click & Clean for Firefox, CCCleaner for Mac, OnyX that can delete the Flash and other caches also.
    If illegal crap popped on your machine by a trick link, it's perhaps best to backup only your files (not the entire Users folder) to a external storage drive and wipe and install OS X
    Most commonly used backup methods
    A hard drive the Macintosh HD partition should be zero erased first.
    Erase, formatting, OS X installs on Mac's
    SSD's can't be securely erased only the data on it overwritten, fill the SSD up nearly full, then repeat and delete the fill data.
    How do I securely delete data from the machine?

  • "player.play.it is requesting permission to store information on your computer."

    I believe this may be a virus. At the top of the messege it says Adobe flash player settings. Under that it says Local Storage. Under, it says requested: up to 1MB, currently used 100KB. Then it has 2 boxes to check either Allow or Deny. This pops up every time I turn on aol radio. I click deny, but it keeps coming back! help!

    I had the same problem and I disabled the AOL toolbars as follows and the problem went away:
    From Internet explorer window click on TOOLS then select MANAGE ADD-ONS then under ADD-ON TYPES the option TOOLBARS and EXTENSIONS should already be selected (if not then select it). In the SHOW: window or box select CURRENTLY LOADED ADD-ONS then in the window on the right select AOL TOOLBAR then select DISABLE (another window will pop up that lists related add-ons that will also be disabled) then click DISABLE.

  • Small pops up boxes asking permission to install flash player!!??

    I play on a farm game, where everyday as a task we have to visit the friends farms to do some actions; for the last 7 or 8 months, everytime I go into one of those farms, a small box pops up asking permission to install  flashplayer, since I already got the Flash Player installed, I just click the deny permission option just for safe....  and I am really sick of keep getting it again and again, it doesn´t even have the logo or the corporative image of adobe products when that pops up little box comes up..  Is That a new way for hackers to try to get into our pc´s?? Are hackers trying to use the Flash Player name so we users let some crap get into our pc´s, thinking than it´s safe cause it has a known name?

    To explain better about that pops up box, this is what it says : 
    "Adobe Flash Player Settings

    Websites might occasionally want to store information, such as your high score from a game that runs in  Flash Player or what products you have purchased, to your computer. In the Global Storage Settings panel, you can control how much disk space websites can use to store information, or you can prohibit websites from storing any information at all. (If you prohibit websites from storing information, the website might or might not function as intended.)
    Use this panel to specify the default storage settings for websites that you haven't yet visited. (To change settings for websites you have already visited, use the Website Storage Settings panel.) The following list explains the storage options:
    If you don't want to let applications from any website save information on your computer, and you don't want to be asked again, select Never Ask Again. This action doesn't delete any information that is already stored. (To delete existing information, use the Delete options in the Website Storage Settings panel.)
    If you want to decide on a case-by-case basis whether applications from a website can save information on your computer, move the slider to the far left (None). Each time an application wants to save information on your computer, you will be asked for more disk space.
    If you want to let applications from any website save as much information on your computer as they need to, move the slider to the far right (Unlimited).
    If you want to let applications from any website save information on your computer, but want to limit the amount of disk space they can use, move the slider to select 10 KB, 100 KB, 1 MB, or 10 MB. If an application needs more space than you have allotted, you will be asked for more disk space while the application is running.
    (Flash Player 8 and later) If you do not want to let third-party content store information on your computer, deselect Allow Third-Party Content To Store Data On Your Computer.
    When you visit a website, the address shown in the browser address bar is usually where most of the website is located. For example, if you visit a fictional website www.[hotel].com, most of the website is located at www.[hotel].com. Sometimes, websites combine content from different sources. For example, www.[hotel].com might display a reservations form in Flash that actually comes from [reservations.hotel].com. The content from the latter website is called third-party content.
    Third-party content might try to store information on your computer. In the hotel reservations example, you might be willing to let [reservations.hotel].com store information on your computer, such as data about which hotels you prefer, so that you can make a hotel reservation. However, you might not be willing to let third-party content store information on your computer in other situations. For example, a car-rental company, www.[my-car-rental].com, might have a banner ad on www.[hotel].com, to track your website usage or to record your preferences.
    To prohibit all third parties from storing information on your computer, deselect Allow Third-Party Content To Store Data On Your Computer. This option is available only with Flash Player 8 and later. Adobe recommends that you upgrade to the most recent version of Flash Player available.
    (Flash Player 9.0.115.0 and later) If you do not want to store Flash components on your computer, deselect Store Common Flash Components To Reduce Download Times.
    Flash Player lets you store common or shared SWF and FLV files and other components from different websites on your computer to significantly reduce download times and allow faster viewing. For example, www.[hotel].com and [reservations.hotel].com might both use the same Adobe components on their sites.

  • POP UP WINDOW won't go away!

    Using Internet Explorer.  Small window pops up in the middle of the screen and it says Adobe Flash Player Setting

    Applications that run in Adobe Flash Player may want to store some information on your computer, but the amount they can store is limited to 100 kilobytes unless you agree to allocate additional space. Local storage settings let you specify how much disk space, if any, applications from a particular website can use to store information on your computer. Note that it is the person or company that has created the application you are using that is requesting such access, not Adobe (unless Adobe has created the application that wants to save the information). In the dialog box shown above, [website] represents the name of the person or company requesting access. It is the responsibility of the person or company requesting access to make it clear to you why they want access and how they plan to use the information they save. You should be aware of the privacy policy of anyone who is requesting access to your computer. For example, see Adobe's privacy policy. Contact the website requesting access for information on their privacy policy.
    It's important to understand that even though this settings panel is part of Flash Player, the information will be used by an application created by a third party. Adobe assumes no responsibility for third-party privacy policies, actions of third-party companies in storing information on your computer, or such companies' use of such data or information.
    What kind of data can an application that runs in Flash Player store on my computer?
    The kind of information stored depends on the application. Information can be anything from your user name to your current score in an interactive game to a list of stocks in your portfolio. The application should make it clear what kind of information it wants to store.
    Who has access to the information?
    This information may be accessed by an application that is currently running in Flash Player or by another application that runs in Flash Player on the same website. Adobe does not have access to this information (unless Adobe has created the application that wants to save the information).
    As discussed in What are local storage settings? above, it is the responsibility of the website requesting access to make it clear to you why they want access and how they plan to use the information. For example, will it be available only to you, or will it be posted in a public place? Who will have access to it in the future? Will it be deleted after a certain period of time? The privacy policy of anyone who is requesting access should address these sorts of issues.
    I've already set privacy and disk space options in my browser. How do these settings interact with my Flash Player settings?
    You may be aware that some websites work together with your browser to store small amounts of data, called cookies, on your computer for their own use in the future. For example, when you go to a website regularly, it may welcome you by name; your name is probably stored in a cookie, and you can use browser options to determine whether you want cookies or not. You may also have specified in your browser that pages you visit can take up only a certain amount of disk space.
    When SWF or FLV content is being played, the settings you select for Flash Player are used in place of options you may have set in your browser. That is, even if you have specified in your browser settings that you do not want cookies placed on your computer, you may be asked if an application that runs in Flash Player can store information. This happens because the information stored by Flash Player is not the same as a cookie; it is used only by the application that runs in Flash Player, and has no relation to any other Internet privacy or security settings you may have set in your browser.
    Similarly, the amount of disk space you let the  application that runs in Flash Player use has no relation to the amount of disk space you have allotted for stored pages in your browser. That is, when SWF or FLV content is being played, the amount of disk space you allow here is in addition to any space your browser is using for stored pages.
    No matter how you may have configured your browser, you still have the option to allow or deny an application that runs in Flash Player permission to store the information, and to specify how much disk space the stored information can occupy, as discussed in the rest of this document.
    What are my local storage options?
    If you don't want to let applications from this website save any information on your computer, and you don't want to be asked again, select Never. Note that applications from other websites may later ask to store information on your computer. If you don't want applications from any website that you haven't yet visited to store information on your computer, and you don't want to be asked again, use the Global Storage Settings panel.
    If you want to let applications from this website save information on your computer, but you want to decide on a case-by-case basis for each application, move the slider to the far left (None). Each time an application from this website wants to save information on your computer, you will see a question asking for more disk space.
    If you want to let applications from this website save as much information on your computer as they need to, move the slider to the far right (Unlimited).
    If you want to let applications from this website save information on your computer, but want to limit the amount of disk space they can use, move the slider to select 10 KB, 100 KB, 1 MB, or 10 MB. If an application needs more space than you have allotted, you will see a question asking for more disk space while the application is running.
    If an application from this website has already saved some information on your computer and you select a value that is lower than the amount of information already stored, Flash Player informs you that any information that has already been saved will be deleted.
    If you don't want existing information to be deleted, click Cancel to return to the Local Storage Settings panel, and then select a higher value. Otherwise, click OK to delete the information and return to the application.
    How can I change my local storage settings?
    You may want to change your local storage settings if, for example, you want to allot more space for information from this website. To display the Local Storage Settings panel:
    Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the application image while it is running.
    From the context menu, select Settings, and then click the Local Storage tab.

  • Complete a GP after closing a pop up window

    Hi all,
    I have written a wd4j application to be a callable object.  When a user clicks to approve the request, a pop-up window appears and ask if they are sure.  Upon clicking yes, the window should be closed and the GP should be completed.  I am having an issue with completing the GP, as it completes before the window is destroyed and thus throws a null pointer. 
    Does any one know where I should a)destroy the window and then b) complete the GP?
    I am closing the pop up window from my main window, via events raised by the component controller.  I have tried to move the gp.complete around, but I am not able to get it to work
    Thanks
    Ryan

    To finish the GP you should use
    executionContext.processingComplete();
    And to close the window popUp
    Try to use this confirmation window
    IWDConfirmationDialog dialog =
        wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createConfirmationWindow(....)....
    And in the actions that you decide
    you should destroy with this line, when dialog its the pop up.
    dialog.destroy();
