Safari 5.1 and flash plugin causes crash

After updating to Safari 5.1 , I could not get Safari to load ... it would load then crash... So I went to the global internet folders and removed everything and then Safari would load... after putting things back I discovered the flash plugin is causing Safari to crash... I have tried reinstalling the latest flash and still nothing helps... Am I missing something ? is there something else I should try ? I just want Safari to work like it did before I updated with Flash working so please refran from the ' just dont use flash ' remarks.... any help would sure be appreciated !
Thanks

it even fails on other accounts
That's an indication that the startup disk may need repairing.
From your admin account launch Disk Utility.
/Applications/Utilities
Select the startup disk in the panel on the left then selec the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
Boot from your install disc if Disk Utility reported errors.
Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
If the startup disk is ok, try reinstalling Safari 5.1

  • Crashes when trying to open PDF and flash plugin has crashed

    Followed the directions that are on the troubleshooting for this problem and the "reset" was gray therefore I could not complete this action. No matter what I did I could not get this action the highlight or complete.

    Hello Jay.
    Older versions of Gearbox had been known to crash LE and Garage band at times. However, recent updates of the drivers have made it rock solid well, for me at least.
    Run the Line6 monkey in Gearbox and it will tell you if you are up to date and update any drivers of firmware that are out of date.
    FYI, I run the gearbox application first and then boot up LE, but have also done it the other way around with no problems.
    Its also not ideal to record on to the HD of your Mac.
    It should be ok to get started with and as long as the project is small and not running too many plug ins and tracks. But strongly suggest you get an external FW HD soonest as you get more proficient and your projects start to get bigger and more intensive.
    Hope this helps..
    Rick.

  • Despite having up to date Firefox and Flash plugin, I still get a crash message. What can I do?

    I am trying to use SiteFusion to build a website. When I go to upload a PSD file I get a "Flash plugin has crashed" message and the ability to select the PSD file and upload it stops. I have checked and I am on the most up to date version of Firefox and Flash plugin running Mac OS 10.6.8 on an Intel Core 2 Duo.

    Without knowing what settings you are currently using, its impossible to say what has gone wrong.
    These are the 2 (different sets of) settings Apple provides:

  • I have the latest plugins and firefox but it still says 'adobe flash plugin has crashed' How do i fix this?

    Every time I go on YouTube, it comes up with: 'adobe flash plugin has crashed'. I have tried refreshing and restarting my laptop, I have also got all the latest flash and Firefox, but it still won't work.

    I'd start with disabling Hardware Acceleration, as described in the video troubleshooting guide below:
    Video playback issues
    If that solves the problem, make sure that your graphics drivers are current. 
    If it *still* happens with current drivers, please give us detailed information on the graphics card and driver, so that we can disable hardware acceleration on this configuration and start a conversation with the appropriate vendor.
    The best way to get this information is to do the following (on Windows):
    Open a command prompt
    Type: dxdiag
    Hit Enter
    This should launch the DirectX Diagnostic Tool
    Click Save All Information (or whatever that save button says).

    Your installed plugins list shows two different versions of Flash. Use the Adobe uninstaller program to entirely remove Flash and then install the latest version.

  • "Adobe flash plugin has crashed" error. Help?

    I have tried a bunch of fixes I found searching through the web, but nothing so far has worked. I thought you fine fellow Apple folks might know what the heck is going on. After the last update, I started getting the error message "Adobe flash plugin has crashed" in both Firefox and Safari (both updated fully). I'm running Snow Leopard on a Mac Pro. Using latestet version of the Flash plugin. And, I have uninstalled and installed again per Adobe's website... not helpful, still having the issue.
    Funny thing is, I have all the same software, updgrades, etc. on my Macbook Pro, and the Flash plugin works fine. Can anyone help me find out what might be causing this issue?

    I cannot recall ever being this frustrated with my Mac and I have been faithfully using Mac for 20+ years!!
    I am currently using a Macbook Pro 2.3 Ghz intel Core i7 4GB RAM Mac OSX 10.7.5
    Problems encountered:
    Very slow browsers chrome, safari, firefox - have tried them all in hopes of finding one that works with no luck!!
    Adobe Flash crash error codes all the time.  I receive update request links from all three browsers asking me to update adobe flash software which I have done repeatedly numerous times with absolutely no success, just a waste of time and lots of frustration.
    Spinning rainbow sprocket is a common thing on my macbook, drives me insane!!
    I found this thread and followed the instructions to go into "System Preferences, Flash Player, selecting the Advanced tab, and delete all browser data and settings."  I then updated my Adobe Flash in my System Preferences, not the typical browser update method.
    So far, this method appears to be working - will keep my fingers crossed!!!

  • The Adobe Flash plugin keeps crashing on Firefox 12.0

    The Adobe Flash plugin keeps crashing on Firefox 12.0, and my Plugin Check link in Addons Manager directs to https://www.mozilla.com/en/404 .
    Is this a hack attempt? Is Firefox 3.6 safer than the release channel?

    Thankss, but it sounds a bit complicated for me. Maybe I can just reinstall FF?
    ~And would switching back to FF 3.6 (or whatever the latest Official release is), rather than being on the new Release Channel be safer than FF 12?

  • In Gmail. "Adobe Flash PLUGIN has Crashed" trying to ATTACH a file

    "Adobe Flash PLUGIN has Crashed" error message in Gmail when trying to attach a large file. Error pops up after 7 to 8 megs are uploaded.

    Thanks for that, I had this problem too and it solved it out for me.
    The only problem was to be able to find a flash video that would work,
    you might want to try to open a youtube link that somebody posted on facebook,
    and than right click it and disable hardware accelaration.

  • The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed! Help please.

    I can't load any flash content within Firefox. I instantly get the following error: "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed. Reload the page to try again.".
    So far I've uninstalled and reinstalled Flash, restarted my computer, and disabled hardware acceleration all to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

    Ok, so scratch my last response. Disabling hardware acceleration through Firefox (orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available" ) did not work however step 3B did. Following your link, right clicking on the Flash logo and disabling hardware acceleration there has fixed my issue.
    Thanks!

  • Problem with Adobe Flash (plugin has crashed). Have updated, uninstalled etc.

    Recently I keep getting the Adobel Flash plugin has crashed message. Not aware I have changed any programs or software.
    I have ensured every thing in uptodate. Tried uninstalling and re-downloading. No success.
    Read your help page.
    Are there suitable alternatives to Adobe or is this limited by the websites that use Adobe?

    I am adding screen shot of Yahoo messenger to my previous question. Though it is in Japanese but there is a little English too which will be helpful to those who could not read Japanese.
