Safari, Flash and MIME

Up until a few days ago, I was able to view media content without any problem. For some silly reason, I decided to download the Flash Media player thinking that I needed it. Upon downloading it, I was then unable to view certain media content which I was previously able to view. Thinking that there must have been an error during the downloading process, I returned to the Flash Media Centre website to try downloading the Flash program again. The dmg file downloaded to my desktop, I opened it, and the installation icon appeared. I initiated the install by either double clicking (from instructions) or dragging onto the Apps folder icon, and Flash downloaded apparently without any problems. Then, right after installation was complete, Safari automatically rediverts me to the Flash homepage and then a Safari drop-down box appears in the window with the message:
The page ”Macromedia – Flash Player” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available on this page: https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer
So what do I do? I check in my apps to see whether Flash was installed and I discover that it is not. So I go back to the Flash download page and reinitiate the process, and every time, the drop down box appears with the message about MIME. I must have done this about 10 times and with no success. Flash just will not install. The real question is: why was I able to view Flash files previously without any problem and now, after having tried downloading flash i get the message about MIME? Obviously I had the capability of viewing Flash files but I can say with great certainty that I never had Flash Player before on my computer. I am left to presume, that some other media program was playing Flash files for me in place of Flash? Any suggestions?

You're welcome. Glad I could help. "Busting the brain" is never an easy experience.
Consider rewarding a "helpful" to the other poster, as I found their suggestions useful ones leading to the solution.
Thanks for the and Aloha from Big Island.

Safari, flash and windowserver

Hi guys!
I have next problem: when I visit a page with many flash's objects (for example: http://vntutor.blogspot.com/2007/08/10-gimp-video-lessons-online.html) and, for example, trying to watch Apple's ads on their site, Safari just gone down. But it is not problem - I know that flash like to eat many cpu time on Unix systems :") , problem is after that, when I quit from Safari, all my system is down and everything is very slow. In Activity monitor I see that process "windowserver" eat my cpu. When I restart this process everything is seems to be ok. I've tested it with Safari 2 and 3.03beta - and have got the same results. Firefox works slow but fine.
I have the PowerBook G4 12" 1,5GHz 1,25Gb memory, Mac OS X 10.4.10, latest Shockwave Flash 9.0 r47, Safari 3.03 Beta, permission repaired. If you need any logs - just tell, but I didn't see any crashreports from safari or windowserver.
Sorry for my english and thanks for answers :")

Safari Flash and Silverlight problem.

I have two large problems on safari.
1. Flash: Whenever I play flash, the CPU jumps up to 100+, and then it doesn't come down until I close down the video.
I have everything updated, and this didn't occur when I first got my macbook. Does anyone have a fix for this?
2. Silverlight: I installed silverlight, but silverlight videos don't recognize them on any of my browsers. However, on "Help ----> Installed Plugins", it does show the silverlight plugin installed, but the videos just don't load. I've already uninstalled and then reinstalled, and tried Silverlight 2 Beta 2, and Silverlight 1, but neither of them work. Please help!

These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, 3.1, 3.1.2, QT 7.3, 7.4.x and 7.5 and OS 10.4.11, and should also work with 10.5.4.
Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 11 (which is no longer in beta) for Mac from:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15540
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
Note that Adobe requires you to uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first.
Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player versions (v.9.0.115.0 and 9.0.124.0) in some cases conflict with Leopard 10.5.4, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1
You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed all the correct versions for your Mac of Security Updates up to and including 2008-005. (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
And now there is an additional kid on the block: SilverLight. Microsoft has created their own version of what a replacement for Flash should be. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards):
http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/
Recommendation: Close all applications before installing any of the above, repair permissions, reboot, and repair permissions again.

Safari - Flash and Silverlight Plug-ins NOT working

Safari does not seem to recognize my Flash and Silverlight Plug-ins so that I can watch and stream videos. I might have messed it up, but I can not fix it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

There's no Auval or RA or Garritan Personal Orchestra in the Audio Units Manager in Logic Pro. Though Stylus RMX that I also use and Kontakt Player 2 are there and successfully validated. The RA and Kontakt Player component are exactly in the place you said they would be.
I've since discovered that RA does not in fact work in Logic Express. As for whether it's loading up in Rosetta or PPC version - how do I tell that?
I really appreciate your help but I'm still stuck at square 1. Any more suggestions?!!

Help Please. OS 10.5, Safari 5.0.6, Flash and Java

Hi.
I am very frustrated right now. A few days ago, I upgraded my MacPro to OS 10.5 . Everything seemed to be working fine until all of a sudden a fe days ago.
Now Flash and Java don't work.
I get an error message saying missing plug-in. So I went to the adobe page to download the latest version. The only thing that would happen on that page is the banner in the middle frame disappeared and nothing would download using Safari. I opened Firefox and it was able to download it. I ran the uninstaller, then installed the newests version, 10.??? (Newest on allowed on my computer)
I rebooted the computer to be safe and opened Safari and still no flash, same message. It works fine in Firefox and Seamonkey, just not safari. I checked for plug-ins and it doesn't show up.   It IS in the OS preference, but there is nothing I can see to do.
Flash makes way to many things work to just ignore it. Please help.
I have repeated this step more than once to no avail.
Secondly, Java. Java is not installed anymore. It WAS and I was having a problem with the window opening and staying open. I adjusted a setting not to open the window, then it stopped completely.   I backtracked and undid the do not open window and still doesn't work.
I found a Java testing page and this is what I was given - "The page “Java Tester - Is Java Enabled?” attempted to load Java content, but Java is unavailable or not installed."
I am now downloading Java again from the apple page, 1.6.0_33. However, one poster said not to use it at all. It's difficult to do many things with no Java at all.
Please advise.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Now, follow my standard upgrading advice:
Get a bootable, external HD (preferably FireWire, since it's 40-50% faster than USB 2 and designed for data transfers), make a bootable backup/clone before updating/upgrading, and ensure that it's bootable and works like the original. That allows you to revert to the previous good state without having to reinstall or reset anything. See these for details:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106941
http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/installswupdates.html
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/backuprecovery.html
If you only have a Time Machine backup, ensure that you can reliably restore it to another disk/volume/partition before updating/upgrading.

Safari/Flash making computer to panic and affecting HD?

Hello,
I have the impression that a combination of Safari/Flash player/WebKitPluginHost may be the computer crashing/panicking. May this also affect the HD? I ask this because after every crash I verify the disk and there is always an invalid file count report. Then I repair the disk and the hd problem seems solved.
I have turned to Firefox, but anyway, if Safari is the culprit, is there any way to fix this?
Thanks

Thank you Carolyn. So you say that it may be the other way round: the HD may have a problem. However, I have had no problems since I left Safari for Firefox (and I would really like to go back to Safari).
I wonder what is going on. Perhaps it may help to have a look at one of the typical panic reports. See below.

Safari 4 and Adobe Flash Pluggin Problem

Rather than just disabling the Safari Pluggin's in the Preferences>Security, how do you remove one pluggin at a time?
With Pluggin's disabled Adobe Flash is also disabled... HELP?

Hi
First, uninstall Flash and its component parts.
Next, install the latest version from here.
After the install, go to your Applications>Utilities folder and open Disk Utility. When opened, highlight your HD, then in the First-Aid panel "repair permissions".
When done, restart Safari.

Safari, DIVs over Flash and any dynamic CSS.

Having done my research it appears there is a bug that has been around for a while that remains unfixed. I was hoping the recent update 2.0.1 may have resolved this issue.
This is unique to Safari. While 'Window Mode' and using 'z-index' enables you to overlay a div layer in other browsers, it doesn't fully work in Safari. For sure, the functionality was added, but any dynamic interaction, for example CSS roll-over, makes the background Flash jump to the foreground. Lots of flashing and flickering. Other than that we love Safari, just a shame it has taken so long to fix this since version 1. Any idea when this will be fixed?

I have also had difficulty with flash and CSS layers in Safari. The on(release) action of some buttons in a flash movie I was working on would not function; however, the animated "over" states would function. The site's php/css programmer removed a css layer that was BEHIND the flash file and the functionality of the flash file was restored.
A fix for this type of behavior ( or a work around ) would be helpful.
Safari is a great browser -- an excellent gauge for global accessibility.

Safari acts like Flash and Java are not installed, even though they are

Even though I have the latest versions installed, websites viewed in Safari tell me that I need Flash and/or Java. I have searched the forums and tried every suggestion, with no fix:
• Uninstall and re-install Flash
• Re-install Java
• Delete the Flash player cache (~ > Library > Caches > Adobe > Flash Player)
• Repair permissions on the hard drive
Flash and Java were both working fine until the 10.6.5 upgrade. Flash and Java both work in Firefox and Chrome on the same machine. (Everything is the latest version.)
If anyone has a solution that will actually restore the use of Flash (don't really care about Java), that would be awesome! Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,
Install the 10.6.5 Combo Update.
Then launch Disk Utility. Applications / Utilities then repair disk permissions.

Can apple find a solution for this issue ???
thanks

Can apple find a solution for this issue ???
I doubt it, their solution is don't use it... although you'd hope that adobe are trying a bit. Apple plan to ship all macs w/o Flash, even if they are capable of running it.

Does iOS 7's Safari Convert Youtube Flash and HTML5 Videos to Quicktime? How Is it Playing?

Hi. It's good to see Safari (I have iOS 7) playing videos on sites like Youtube. Is it converting Flash and HTML5 to Quicktime or is the video playing because it's only using HTML5? How does Safari go about playing Youtube and Flash videos? Apple has solved the Flash for mobile problem then?
Thank you. Have a great upcoming sunday mass/ great week.
God bless.

there is no flash for mobile problem since adobe has discontinued flash for any mobile device.
Safari is not converting anything.
HTML5 facilitates streaming video in a format that ios devices can natively play(mp4).
Youtube/google is putting stuff up in html5.

Shockwave Flash and QuickTime?

I really love Safari but now I am being forced to use FireFox which works well, but has the ugly look of a PC...
What happened was, on this site:
http://microsites.audi.com/audir8/html/index.php
The first two screens would load, but when I got the screens with the flags, the countdown never changed from 99 even tho the circle kept going around.
It worked perfectly in FireFox.
So, I go and download and install the latest Shockwave Flash with plugin v9.0r28.t and now, this page won't even load and I just get a page with the ? over the Q.
Furthermore, everytime I go on any website, any SWF ads, which are a lot, come up with the ? over the Q.
I have fiddled with the QT prefs as to what app should handle what but overall I'm very frustrated with the inability to adjust my helper apps in Safari..
Please help!
Here are my specs:
1.5 Ghz PowerPC G4
1.5 GB RAM
Mac OS X 10.4.7
Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3)

Hi MacLady
I had no problem viewing the site.
Did you "repair permissions" via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder after downloading the latest Flash player? Are you certain there is no conflict going on between two flash plug-ins in your system - one in /Library/Internet Plug-ins and the other in ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins, where ~ = your User Account? Sometimes on reinstalls two plug-ins exist in the system. If so, best to remove the one in the User Account.
Empty cache via Safari menu, and removing the Audi cookies in your Safari Preferences>Security>Cookies panel will clean the slate.
Regarding Quicktime Preferences via System Preferences:
In the Advanced panel, make sure "enable flash" is checked
In the Mime settings, the Miscellaneous box (specifically related to "Flash Media" is unchecked.
