Problem "blocked plug-in" msg. in video viewing

Have tried to re install to update Flash player to correct this problem, to no avail.
Please find a way to correct this player.

Support by phone for Flash Player is $39.99 per call, prepaid, and that's whether they can resolve the issue or not.
The number is 1 (800) 833-6687 and it's available Mon-Fri- 6am-7pm (PST) only.
This forum is a much cheaper, if not better, alternative.
There are VERY DETAILED instructions to do a complete "clean install" here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1343084
With the exception of accessing your [user]/Library folder (you can find it in your Home directory in Snow Leopard - it isn't hidden like in Lion or Mt. Lion) everything else is the same. If you follow those instructions to the letter, you'll be up and running in just a little time.

  • How can we correct a blocked plug in when trying to view internet videos?

    My son's computer suddenly started stating "Blocked plug in" when trying to view any videos on the internet.  We followed the instructions to upgrade Adobe Flashplayer but have been unsuccessful on many attempts and we have no leads to follow to correct the problem.
    Can anyone help or suggest something?  Thanks.

    Try this, uninstalling and then reinstalling Adobe Flash:
    Uninstall flash:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
    Reinstall Flash:
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    Select the OSX for you run the .dmg installer (you can go to Safari Preferences/General "Save doenloaded file to:" select other and then select desktop from the left column.
    Run the installer pkg.
    When it has completed, reboot your computer to finish the install.
    Hope this helps

  • Why do I get the message "blocked plug-in" whenI try to view videos now?

    Why do I get "blocked plug-in" when I try to view a video now? How do i fix this?

    This issue is not an Apple networking one. However, you may find the following Apple Support article helpful in resolving it.

  • Why am I seeing blocked plug-in where short videos are?

    When I click on a video on Facebook a small box says Blocked Plug-in.  I am unable to view the video.  How can I change this?

    If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
    If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please 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 ▹ Delete All...
    In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
              Delete All Site Data and Settings
    then click Delete Data. 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
    a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
              When visiting other websites
    From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
    b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
    c. If the alerts still persist, 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.

  • Safari 6.0 flash problem (blocked plug in)

    getting this message since update to safari 6.0
    any help would be great
    thank you

    UPDATE:  I resolved the issue by doing the following.
    1. Make sure to install the most updated version of Flash.  http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html
    2. Delete all references to Flash or Shockwave in Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plugins > Disabled Plugins
    Check to see if the version is older by looking at the Date Created sort field.  If they are Flash related and weren't installed today, delete them.

  • I am getting a "blocked plug-in" screen for most video content.

    I am getting "blocked plug-in" for most video content that I try to view.  I have followed counsel on here; only dead-ends so far.  I have followed the command to download an updated version of Adobe Flash many times, but to no avail.  Very frustrating.  I am told by a friend that I should be able to select "enable plug-ins" on a scroll-down menu somewhere.  I found such a menu on Safari; it is already enabled.  Any help?  I am on a MacBook Air that is less than a year old.

  • Blocked plug ins how do I stop this?

    Last year my system began doing "blocked plug-in" on anything video.  Heretofore, I had not had a problem with this.  How do I turn it off?

    Click on that message and follow the onscreen directions. You'll probably be told to update Flash.

    I have a new MacBook Pro and I followed these instructions, downlonading and installing the new Flash plugin. But when I looked in "/Library/Internet Plugins" there was no folder called "Disabled Plugins".
    However, I did see two versions of Flash:
    _Flash Player.plugin with old date
    Flash Player.plugin with todays date
    I deleted _Flash Player.plugin and this fixed the problem.

  • For the past week, I am unable to view videos. The page comes up with this comment: "Blocked plug-in" and it suggests that I download the latest version of Flash player. I have downloaded that and still get the same comment. Please help.

    I have an iMac11.2 and am running Mac OS 10.6.8. I have not had a problem viewing videos until the past week or so. Now I cannot view videos on my news, facebook or in email messages at all. A message pops up in the window that says "Blocked plug-in". I have downloaded the latest version of Flash Player for which it asks and still no luck. Can anyone here help me with this? Thank you. Grace

    TThere have been 3 updates to flash player ink the past month.
    download and install the latest.
    this warning seems to be a part of the newer security updates.

  • My name is Frank and I have a problem with seeing videos. They all come up with "Blocked Plug-in" in the middle of the screens.

    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.
