Safari won't play videos which require flash player

I have a 13 inch macbook with safari 5, which on my account will not play videos on youtube, bbc iplayer and other sites. Safari will play the videos on the root user and another account. I have installed flash player, shockwave player, and adobe air, but safari still doesn't play videos. please help.

Hi
Safari-Preferences-Security-Enable Plug Ins is checked on ?
you've no Safari extensions enabled ? (remove them, restart safari & test again)
look in Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and Input Managers for any software that may interfere with Flash
also in System Preferences-Accounts-Login Items .
Failing all those - quit safari & move home/library/preferences/com.apple.safari.plist to the desktop
also, trash home/library/preferences/macromedia/Flash Player/

  • Can't watch video and play games that require flash player

    I'm using windows7 family premium version
    internet explorer 10 last version 10.0.5
    exploitation system 64 bytes
    flash player verson 11..700.202 the latest one
    So as i say can't watch video and play games that require flash player, they keep asking me to install flashplayer... i did everything i read in the forums, unistall it, clean the memory, reinstall it, disabe active x etc... but still have the problem.
    More specific about my problem is that: let's say that i'm trying to look at you tutorial video under thi forum  Re: How do I fix Windows permission problems with Flash Player? i'm just seeing a black screen.  So I'm able to guess where is the play button so when i push on that place, i can hear the sound of that video.  Second step guessing where is the  enlarge  button, and when the screen is enlarged, magic i can see and hear the video.... So you figure that it's impossible to use my computer like that and guess right all the time, so....
    Second fact, it seems that bug happened after an update (windows or explorer) and i even talk with a microsott tech who was not able to resolve it... But if i'm  undoning  the update and go back to a prior image, i have no problems with flash player anymore... it' been moths that i'm delaying my updates cause i cannot find any solutions.... So Please please please, help me .... don't know what's the problem is and i'm not a pro, don't know what to do.  (Excuse my english it's my second language)
    Thank you

    The first thing I'd try is updating your video driver.
    Windows: how do I update the device driver for my video/display adapter?
    If you still have problems and since you're using Windows 7 x64, please check to see if you have the following Windows update installed:
    KB2670838 – Platform Update for Windows 7 x64
    If so, please uninstall it and try Flash Player out again.

  • How can I view a video that requires flash player ?

    How can I view a video that requires flash player ?

    Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites have their own apps in the App Store.

  • Safari won't play video after the latest Adobe Flash upgrade on my iMac

    I'm sure that it coincident with the most recent Adobe update. I get a message like "Plugin not found" inside what should be a video box.
    I think I have the same Flash version installed on my MacBook, and that works fine. Only my iMac is affected.

  • Safari Won't Play Videos on Blog Pages

    All the videos on my blog and other's blogs won't play. When I click on the play button I get a message in the video box that says, This video is not currently available. Please try again later.
    What can I do to play videos?

    The site requires the Flash plugin.
    Try uninstalling then reinstalling.. see if that helps.

    Sometimes deleting Flash cookies can help too.

  • Safari won't play videos (or anything else for that matter)

    Hi folks,
    I have a MacBook Pro running all the latest software and it seems that Safari's having trouble playing things, like videos. Nothing works: Flash, HTML5 or QuickTime. Tried it all. MP3s won't play in the browser either. I've looked around and many of the other people who have this problem have it magically disappear with an update, no such luck for me. Apple isn't going to be useful for less than $49 either. Anyone have any insight?
    Thanks!

    Hi...
    MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)  < your profilel
    I have a MacBook Pro running all the latest software
    If your profile is correct, click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update. The most recent Lion version available is v10.7.4 and Safari 5.1.7
    For troubleshooting Flash.
    Quit Safari.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
    Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try a video.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
    Spend $49 for what? QuickTime is pre installed on your Mac. If you are using HTML5, that can prevent Flash content from streaming.
    For QuickTime. Check Safari > Preferences > Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that OFF, quit then relaunch Safari. Try a QT video.
    Not sure if this will work for recent versions of Safari for mp3, but won't hurt to try >  http://www.kalvster.com/macintosh/save-download-mp3-files-in-macintosh-safari.ht ml

  • Safari won't play videos?

    Hi, I don't really know anything about software, but I can't play videos (youtube, other websites).  Is there something I need to update or download?  My computer has OS X 10.7.3 and Safari 5.1.3
    Thank you.

    That is indicative of Flash content on the site, and Fl;ash isn't supported on the iPhone. the subject is quite divisive with many saying that Adobe should produce a compatible iPhone plug-in with equally as many saying that they have and even more people saying that its a poor medium etc.
    As I said, its a hot topic but Apple are going the HTML5/H264 route so don't expect Flash any time soon - if at all. At least lack of Flash buts down the annoying adverts.

  • IMac Flash Freeze! Videos won't play after updating Adobe Flash Player. Send help (and donuts).

    Last night I was prompted to download the newest version of Adobe Flash Player. After installing it Hulu and Youtube will not play videos. On Hulu there is a "Plug-In Failure" message. I've uninstalled it, reinstalled it, turned it off, turned it back on, uninstalled and reinstalled again, searched on message boards, turned it off for a long time and then turned it back on, refreshed the pages, and now I'm just drinking lots of coffee and pleading for help.
    Hulu is my only t.v.!!!!

  • Is there an Apple app that would allow viewing videos that require Flash Player?

    Is there an Apple app that would allow viewing videos that require Adobe Flash Player?

    What you can do is use any of the flash browser applications (search under those terms in the App Store) which all work in varying ways and with varying degrees of success on different types of Flash content. All are free, I think, and you might have to play around a bit to find which one might work (and again, it's possible that none will) with the specific kind of thing that you're most interested in seeing.

  • SWF created in Flash MX 7 won't play in browser w/Flash Player 9

    I just noticed that my website, which I made from a template
    from templatesheaven.com, isn't playing in Flash Player 9 in a
    browser. It plays in the standalone player for some reason, but
    when I look at it on the web, it shows just the count-in (or
    whatever it's called, the pre-load), but stops when the counter
    hits 99% and the action never starts. The website is at:
    www.gwhitty.com
    I built it using Flash MX 7, but for all I know the template
    was made using Swish, which apparently causes problems with Flash
    Player 9. Anyone have any other ideas? Still plays fine in FP7, so
    I'm stumped. If I open my .fla file in Flash 9 and then export,
    will that likely fix the problem? Any ideas appreciated...

  • How do I play Video music in Flash player 11 when it is not my default player in Windows 7 Professio

    I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player 11 on my computer. I am running Windows 7 professional operating system. I have some video music files and would like to run them in Flash and not Windows Media Player. How can I do this.

    Flash isn't used as a stand alone media player.  You'll need to find a web based application that can load your media files and then play them for you.  However, that seems a round about way for playing videos on a local system.  Have you tried an alternative such as VLC?

  • Videos that require flash player constantly restart and freeze

    Running Windows 7 and have tried multiple browers and versions of Adobe Flash Player (all set back to the latest versions as of right now), and have updated my video drivers, but no matter what if I go on any website like YouTube that uses Flash Player, I can watch a video for a couple minutes and then Flash Player will freeze and reboot the video to the beginning. Closing out the window doesn't help, refreshing the page doesn't help either, it will still just let me watch for a few minutes and then freeze and restart. Very frusterated here, any idea what the problem is??

    -Using 64 bit version and I've tried literally every available copy of Flash Player located in the archives. It only started doing this I'd say about a month ago maybe.
    -Not sure which parts of the dxdiag report you need but this is the overall system info:
    Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.130318-1533)
               Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
    System Manufacturer: TOSHIBA
           System Model: Satellite L555D
                   BIOS: Ver 1.00PARTTBL
              Processor: AMD Turion(tm) II Dual-Core Mobile M520 (2 CPUs), ~2.3GHz
                 Memory: 4096MB RAM
    Available OS Memory: 3838MB RAM
              Page File: 2363MB used, 5311MB available
            Windows Dir: C:\windows
        DirectX Version: DirectX 11
    DX Setup Parameters: Not found
       User DPI Setting: Using System DPI
    System DPI Setting: 96 DPI (100 percent)
        DWM DPI Scaling: Disabled
         DxDiag Version: 6.01.7601.17514 32bit Unicode
    -The only difference I saw was that non-HTML loaded significantly faster. It usually takes a minimum of 3 min though before I might have restart trouble.

  • How can I watch videos that require Flash Player?

    I would like to watch video content that asks for Flash Player which apparently isn't supported by Apple (or vice versa).

    Adobe has stopped development of flash for all mobile devices.
    If you want flash content you will have to download a third party browser.
    Photo, puffin, skyfire, iswifter are a few.

  • Updated Mac OS X 10.6.7, now YouTube requires Flash Player Update?

    Hi guys,
    can anyone help me please? I just bought a Mac Book Pro (mid 2010) 2 days ago. Everything was working great, but now after updating my software, YouTube Videos won't play as they require Flash Player 10. Now, I have followed the link on youtube and downloaded the player, but first of all it doesn't work, plus it makes an ugly desktop icon of flash player on my desktop which i don't want to have. So I believe that flash is included in Mac OS X software right? So if it doesn't work, it's a software issue. Anyone any idea how to get this issue solved??
    Thanks a lot.

    I solved it . Sorry for being frustrated, it was just because the mac is new and I didnt expect to have such problem with it. Also I didnt mean to be unpolite with saying "help pleasee" i was just very desperate to solve this issue.
    The mistake i did was that when the installation finishes you need to restart the browser.... I closed the browser, but i didnt completely end it. So i did the whole process again and ended the safari fully and then restarted it. Then ejected the flash icon from the desktop, and now everything works fine again.
    Thanks a lot for your help buddy, appreciate it/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png/___sbsstatic___ /migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/m igration-img-not-avail.png/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-av ail.png/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png/___sbsstati c___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
