Safari stalls playing flash

I have used Macromedia software to develop flash movies and have used them on my website. All seemed to be going well until today. When I accessed my web page using Safari (2.0.4), the flash "intro" movie to my site keeps stalling out (homepage and on other pages). When I access the same page using my Explorer browser (5.2 for Mac) it plays fine. I just ran a security update (don't remember the number) -- could this have corrupted Safari or my Flash plugin? If so what do I do? If not, what else could be the problem? Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Deaconjoe,
Did you run disc utility repair permissions after the update ??
If not do it now ...
Post back with the results ...

Safari wont play flash videos...

I use firefox and safari and both are having this problem. When there is a flash video to be played, youtube for instance, Safari shows a quicktime Q with a ? mark in the middle of it. I have reinstalled and updated flash multiple times now and that fixes the problem very temporarily but it always goes back to the Q with the ? mark in the middle of it. I have updated quicktime, I have flip for mac and have updated that, I have tried using quicktime to view flash and I've tried using flip for mac to view the flash, neither work. I have updated versions of both browsers and I am at a loss for words.....please help!

Hi
Two things
First, "repair permissions" using Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
Second, go to System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced and select "enable flash". Also, select "mime settings". When the panel opens, click on Miscellaneous. Uncheck Flash Media.
Restart Safari and try the Flash sites again.

Safari stopped playing Flash.

It shows "blocked Plug-in" instead.I download and istalled new version of Flash player, but it did not help.

Use the uninstaller for Flash from Adobe's website. Then download and install.

No.
Software Update is for Apple software. Adobe is 3rd party.

Why won't Safari play flash but Chrome will

I am able to play Flash when I use Chrome howevrer when I use Safari it does not work. I am using Snow Lepard and have downloaded the latest version of Safari already and I check in the settings and it is alowing plugins. What do I need to do to get Flash to work on Safari?

Check whether you are currently in YouTube HTML 5 trial.

At the bottom left of the page uncheck the box for
"You are currently in the HTML5 trial".

Flash player only works in administrator account. In the user account safari can't play flash videos (youtube or others) while firefox can. OSX 10.5.8 safari 5.0.5 / latest flash player. I have tried almost everything! Any help?

Flash player only works in administrator account. In other accounts safari can't play flash videos (youtube or others) while firefox can. OSX 10.5.8 safari 5.0.5 / latest flash player. I have tried almost everything. Reinstall safari and flash player, repair permissions.... Any help?

Repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the menu bar, quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
If that didn't help, install the v10.5.8 combo update.
Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update

Safari cannot play certain flash videos

After the latest update safari cannot play some flash videos, it can be a youtube video as well...
There's a hungarian site that has videos and my safari cannot play any of them. The site is www.indavideo.hu . On a MacBook Air the Outlook cannot open new mail and a Microsoft community site said that it is a problem caused by safari... What?
I've tried to delete flash, reinstall it, delete Java, reinstall it, but Java works fine.
I think I should reinstall Safari, but I don't want to reinstall the whole computer...
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks,
Csaba

For Flash issues, try this ...
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Back to Safari. Press Command + Option + E to empty the Safari cache.
Quit and relaunch Safari, try a video.
If that doesn't help, you may have the YouTube HTML5 beta enabled.
Opt out here > YouTube
Keep in mind, Outlook is a Microsoft product, not Apple and therefore, you may experience problems. However, you may be able to setup your Outlook account in the Mac Mail app.
Open Mac Mail. From the menu bar click File > Add Account
That way you won't have to use Safari (web based email) to access your Outlook acocunt.

Safari 6.1.1 stuttering while playing Flash

Does anyone know why has Safari started to stutter while playing Flash video? No matter the size of the content provider (in my case Lynda), it stops for a fraction of a second every 3 seconds. It is QUITE annoying! And, I'm sure it is Safari, I've played those videos an hour before I updated to Safari 6.1.1 and now it is Flash mayhem! I'm tempted to recover (the whole system, thank you very much, Apple) from Time Machine so I do away with this MAJOR annoyance! Any suggestions?

Dominic, thank you for a boiler-plate instructions, I did many, if not all, of those before posting.
However, the story deepens, it sems that the culprit is one of the system updates, since this happened to me on a different machine, too. At least, culprit would be the part of one of the updates that may have written to/changed permissions of the ScriptingAdditions folder. Or, the sandbox settings may have been corrupted, who knows, I don't.
Here's the detailed report that was being generated in Console log ***repetitively***:

Safari not playing youtube videos

safari not playing youtube videos all of a sudden plz help playing on chrome and safari plug in and flash player is up to date and java is enabled ...

I found on an other post more informations. The problems is in OS X since Yosemite 10.10.1 it doesn't work, we will have to wait for a new Update form apple (10.10.2) to resolve that issue.
Use an other browser instead meanwhile. For more information ; Re: Yosemite 10.10.1 causing Safari not to play YouTube videos...

Cannot play Flash content in IE7

When I navigate IE7 to any site (including adobe.com) that
has Flash content, I get a message saying I need to enable
javascript (it is) and/or upgrade my Flash player. I am running
Vista, and this worked until sometime in the last week or so.
Flash content does run on this machine inside Firefox 3.0.1,
but IE7 appears to be dead.
The error message I get is "Error in loading DLL". It appears
to pop up when the javascript code is trying to load or access the
flash content.
I tried installing the Flash Player 9.0.124 using the web
site - no luck.
I tried uninstalling (clean), rebooting, then installing from
the web site - no luck.
I tried uninstalling (clean), rebooting, then used the manual
installer (Install Flash Player 9 AX) - no luck.
I tried uninstalling (clean), rebooting, then used the manual
installer (FlashUtil9f) - no luck.
I tried running reset_minimal.cmd (per instructions) - no
luck.
I tried disabling my AV (Kaspersky) while repeating all of
the above - no luck.
I tried running sfc /scannow but it reports no errors.
I tried the Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/Reset to "reset"
IE to its defaults - no luck.
I am really, really stumped on this one. What should I do
next?

BWolfe, dougclutter, and others with Doug's problem:
BWolfe, I'm truly amazed that dougclutter and others have had
this very specific and real problem for so long, and Adobe hasn't
lifted a finger to cure it. I'm stunned. I've been plagued with
this thing for at least 3 months now, and have been all over the
net looking for a remedy, after finding absolutely no help from
Adobe.
Here's what my symptoms are:
IE with Flash works in all accounts but mine.
Latest Adobe Flash player (10) is properly installed. Flash
content will play on IE8 in anyone's User Account on this machine
but mine. The only way flash content will play in my user account
is if it is started as "Run As Administrator". Can actually run 2
instances of IE side by side, one started normally, the other
started as "Run as Administrator". Oprah, U Tube, etc., will run
flash content in the latter window, but won't in the former. Flash
errors (in IE7} are something to the effect, "Can't run DLL", with
line number reference, etc. No help from Adobe, HP (my machine
manufacturer) or Microsoft without paying them a bundle. Just
updated IE7 to 8, problem unchanged.
Elaboratiing:
When right clicking on where Flash Player is supposed to be,
then clicking the "about Adobe Flash... ", the browser is sent to:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/
When clicking on the error message at the bottom of the
browser, the following error message is displayed. (This was
copied, which Vista gives you the opportunity to do, then pasted
here.)

Flash content DOES play with Adobe Flash 10 in my user
account with Apple Safari browser when started normally, just not
with IE8 browser. However, the IE8 browser does play Flash content
in any and every other user account.
BWolfe, instead of telling us about proper Adobe procedures
for reporting and troubleshooting these things, how about you
forward this to someone who can tell us how to fix this thing! I,
like dougclutter and others, have been thru the entire Adobe Flash
Player troubleshooting guide, carried out every suggestion there
exactly, to no avail. I can show you at least 3 other instances of
different folks with this same problem. And, as I think I've seen
elsewhere in this thread, and tried myself, Adobe certainly doesn't
make it easy to report non-paying customer problems, as with Flash
Player.
It's high time Adobe gets with at least one of us to help
diagnose and cure this problem, and then adds the info to their
troubleshooting guide, or else fix it in the application if
possible. Whether the problem is in the app, or do to interaction
with Vista and possibly XP, you guys need to look into this thing.
I, for one, would be more than happy to help you 'shoot this thing,
I am and engineer and have been computing since the DOS days.
Bewildered,
Dave

I can't get flash player to play flash videos

I just bought an 24" 2.16 Core 2 Duo iMac and migrated my accounts from my G4 PowerBook and G4 800mhz iMac.
I go to websites such as Jay Leno's garage and LeftLaneNews ( http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/11/17/ford-bold-moves-22-professional-drivers-o n-a-closed-course/#more-4422 ) and the Flash Player 9 videos don't play. No erros. It just acts like it is forever downloading them and ... nothing.
I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.8 and Safari. I found the Flash uninstall for Mac OS X on Adobe's website and ran that (with all browsers closed" then downloaded and re-installed Flash 9. It shows that Flash 9 successfully installed.

Just to make it clear. I still can play Flash videos.

Many websites will not play flash video

Really hoping for help with this.
Most sites won't play flash video (can't remember all of them, but they include BBC, CBC, & major online news & business sites). I don't think it's a site problem.
[YouTube works].
Safari version is current. "Block pop-up windows" is off. Gimme Blocker is on. There are no extensions installed.
If there's other info to be provided, please LMK.
Thanks!

Hi,
Follow the instructions for troubleshooting Flash here.
You may need to delete Flash cookies, instructions for that here.

Safari to have flash player on macbook pro??????

my question here is very simple one:
if Apple for some reason did not intend for mac users to install/use flash player to watch videoes on the web; then, why do we still need to install a flash player? Why cant safari just play the videos on youtube or any stream ing sites.

Since we are just users here like yourself, we can answer that.
Maybe if you ask Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html, they might be able to tell you.

Safari trouble with Flash Websites

Hi, I am having trouble using a particular
Flash website online that I am developing
Using Safari v. 2.0 on a Mac running Tiger 10.4.2
I am able to access the homepage of this site
http://www.sweetybomb.com
but I am unable to load any of the buttons (about - music - etc.)
I understand that this may be a Macromedia Flash issue, but
the odd thing is that this site works fine in all other Browsers
(Opera, Explorer, etc.)
Every once in awhile, the site works (I can load content, use buttons)
but 99% of the time, Safari stalls on the homepage which is odd
because the file sizes of the Flash movies are low (at least in the opening part)
Anyhow, just seeing if there are some Apple/Safari things that
I could troubleshoot on that end of things
Thank you

I have talked with Apple several times
via my Apple Care and they insist it's
something on the Flash end of things
Thanks for your response and if you
have any advice I would be happy to
hear it
cheers

Play flash in powerpoint?

Did anyone have success in playing flash animations (SWF) in powerpoint (version 2004) on the mac?
The SWF i've got plays fine in Safari, but not at all in powerpoint ...
Any ideas, pointers, insights will be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Gabriel.

The prereq's to doing this are:
Microsoft Office
Apple QuickTime 6+ (Mac uses the QT engine for SWF playback)
The Flash SWF file has to be version 5 or earlier (yes version 6 and 7 don't work)
If you meet all of these requirements then all you need to do is navagate to the slide you want you Swf file to reside on and
Insert > Movie from File > and choose the Swf file you want to embed.
and there you have it.
