Shockwave flash not working

hello, my adobe flash is not showing up in manage add-ons. We did not delete it and when I try to fix it tells me that we have the latest version but the only thing I found was version 15.0.0.152. Browser is IE ,yahoo ,windows 8.1.It is supposed to be under shockwave in add-ons and it is not there. Help please. We use a gateway computer pc.

This add-on will prevent Flash from running on the web page until you want.

I get a recurring error in Firefox regarding Shockwave Flash not respoding, etc. Firefox locks up.

I get a recurring error in Firefox regarding Shockwave Flash not respoding, etc. Firefox locks up. I've uninstalled & reinstalled Shockwave & Flash Player to no avail. Can't find an answer (Windows 7). Is there one that works? I've looked quite a few places on the internet.

It seems you both did get lost and per accident ended in this place for last hope.
For Yammers Microwave I would say to pull out the power plug as the perfect solution but Shockwave Flash is a complete mystery to me.

Flash not working in Safari 5

Flash has been buggy for me in Safari 5, ever since I updated the Flash player last week to "10.1 r53". Either Flash files don't play at all, or just the audio plays without video.
Per the instructions on these boards, I have:
1. reset Safari
2. uninstalled flash player
3. installed the flash player
4. repaired permissions
5. restarted
The issue is still there. Firefox plays Flash files, YouTube, etc. just fine. Safari does not.
I'm running SL 10.6.4, latest Software Updates.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I created a new account. Flash works in the new account. That's cool, but I really don't want to re-locate all my prefs, etc., just for a buggy plugin.
So, I next...
1. grabbed the Safari plist from the new account
2. logged out of the new account
3. logged into the old account (where Flash does not work)
4. moved the old account's com.apple.safari plist file out of the Preferences folder
5. moved the clean Safari plist file (from the new account) into the Preferences folder
6. reset and restarted Safari
7. Flash worked...for about two minutes. I tested on YouTube, Vimeo and Google Analytics. Back to Flash not working in Safari.
I then tried repeating the earlier steps.
1. reset Safari
2. uninstall flash player
3. install flash player
4. repaired permissions
5. restarted
Still doesn't work.
Just one other thing to note: whenever I pull up a web page with Flash, I get a "file not found" error in Safari's activity monitor (link is below)...could this be an error with Adobe's website rather than a Safari-permission thing?

Flash not working in photo booth.

The flash in photo booth on my iMac is not working. When I take a pic, the screen flashes but the pic is still dark. Was working fine yesterday. I did install the latest osx today. That's the only changes since then.

In case anyone is interested in your screen flash not working in the Yosemite or Maverick photo booth application, I finally called Apple today and he kept insisting it was working on his - I asked him to take a pic with the screen flash enabled and then disable it and he said it came out the same. And rationalized that it was because he was in a well lit room. I kept telling him in my old photo booth from system 10.6.8 that my face was lit up and my husband had reflections from his glasses so we went from him wanting me to reinstall my software (I refused since both computers were having the same problem - one using Yosemite and the other using Maverick) to him finally going into HIS partitioned disk that has system 10.6.8 on it to discover that the flash there reflected off HIS glasses too. Bottom line is he admitted there has to be some flaw that prevented the photo booth flash from working for Maverick and Yosemite. Whew, finally validation!

Why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
Save it to your Desktop.<br />
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

Flash is totally unrelated to Java, so what you're saying is that certain plugins are not working under Safari of which one just happens to be Java. You're the second one I see make mention of that, but the fact remains that you'd need to ask Apple what is going on with their browser.

Photo Booth flash not working in Maverick or Yosemite

I have noticed that the photo booth flash in Maverick on my Macbook Pro and in Yosemite on my iMac is not working Screen flash is enabled on both.
So this is happening on two different computers. Does anyone know how to fix this? All my photos are so dark on both of my computers using Maverick and Macbook Pro.
It works fine on system 10.6.8 though.
Has anyone else had this problem too?

Shockwave does not work in firefox but does in ie. it does not show content. worked in version 3 of firefox not in 5.

adobe shockwave player does not work in newest version of firefox (v.5). it does work in internet explorer though. and it also worked before in version 3.

Do not confuse Shockwave for Director and Shockwave Flash.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+the+Flash+plugin
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Using+the+Shockwave+plugin+with+Firefox
Both are different programs (plugins), so there is most likely no need to look at Shockwave for Director.
Does Flash work properly on the Abode welcome (test) page?

Flash not working on Windows 8.1

My flash player is not working on windows 8.1 (64g) with internet explorer. I have troubleshooted several times, and active x filtering is not checked off in the safety tab under settings and under manage add-ons shockwave flash is enabled. These are the only things that I can do to get it enabled according to the adobe website. What else can I do to make flash work on windows 8 in internet explorer?

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Embedded Flash not working on Safari/Google Sites not just my system

Hi-
This issue is not limited to my system.
First some information on my system:
Intel based iMac
OS X 10.6.5
Safari Version 5.0.2 (6533.18.5)
Site affected: www.trpeters.com
I uninstalled Flash Player and reinstalled the latest version 3 times yesterday. However, this issue is not limited to this computer alone and I am more concerned about others not being able to view my work on their computers.
The slideshow does not show up on Safari on this computer or on my windows machine. I had a friend check from her computer in a separate location and a totally different connection and she cannot see it either. I have tested it on Chrome and Firefox and it is visible.
Here is the embedded code generated by Zenfolio:
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" width="640" height="480" align="" src="http://cdn.zenfolio.net/zf/code/slideshow/embedded.swf" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" allowFullScreen="false" flashvars="id=921220293&background=0x000000&delay=3&transition=4&loop=1&random= 0&allowfs=0&allowthumbs=0&showlink=0&allowtitles=0&showtitles=0&autostart=1&allo wtopbar=0&allowcontrols=0&transparent=0&loopmusic=1&frame=0x000000&preloader=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.zenfolio.net%2Fzf%2Fcode%2Fsli deshow%2F002.swf&preloaderparams=color%3D0xffffff"></embed>
The slide show does play in the preview window when I generate it on zenfolio.
When I insert the HTML code into my Google site at www.trpeters.com the slideshow will play in a preview pane.
When I click update the slide show disappears and a blank Google gadget box appears.
The gadget shows this code snippet embedded. I am not an HTML coder so I am not sure if it has changed in any way:
<embed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" align="" allowFullScreen="false" flashvars="id=921220293&background=0x000000&delay=3&transition=4&am p;loop=1&random=0&allowfs=0&allowthumbs=0&showlink=0&allowti tles=0&showtitles=0&autostart=1&allowtopbar=0&allowcontrols=0&am p;transparent=0&loopmusic=1&frame=0x000000&preloader=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.zenfolio.net%2Fzf%2Fco de%2Fslideshow%2F002.swf&preloaderparams=color%3D0xffffff" height="480" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" src="http://cdn.zenfolio.net/zf/code/slideshow/embedded.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" />
When I preview from within the gadget I get a blank brown screen., not black?
And when I click OK I just get a black 640x480 box which you should be able to see from within Safari yourself. This used to work fine. I don't know what has changed to make it non-functional.
Thank you,
Tim

HI,
Click your Apple menu / Software Updates. Safari 5.0.3 is available for download. Make sure and repair permissions after the update is installed.
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 you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
And delete the Flash cache. Instructions on this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11672709&#11672709

Flash not working correctly; Chrome & Firefox

I use to use Firefox exclusively and had Flash installed as a plugin and it worked fine. I accidentally un-installed it and then reinstalled it. Since then it will not load pages completely; only partially. I then got Chrome and it does the same thing. I am trying to use Flash to view job postings on the Accountemps & Robert Half websites. Any suggestions? This is quite frustrating

I had the same problem, so what I did was I went to chrome://plugins/ and hit the details for flash, and there were 3 versions of it under details, I just uneabled 2 and ran one until it worked. Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300 this one was causing the issue , This one worked Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300 , this one also caused the issue Shockwave Flash 11.4 r402.

Java and Flash not working ONLY in Safari

Ok, so Java and flash stopped working in Safari on my 10.6.8 system. It seems a recent update caused a problem and all of the normal items I have gone through have made it worse or not helped.
Java is not working in Safari (My account or guest account)
     http://javatester.org/version.html    Error "attempted to load Java content, but Java is unavailable or not installed."
     http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp " attempted to load Java content, but Java is unavailable or not installed."
     http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ Error "Missing plugin"
     Flash tests just say missing plugin
Java DOES work in Chrome and Firefox
     http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp
          Java SE 6 Update 31
          Flash - 11,2,202,235 installed
Able to use apps and other items online that are not working in Safari.
Have downloaded and installed the following and done the following
     Ran software update
     Verified Java and Java Script are enabled via Safari > Preferences > Security
     Re-installed Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 8
     Reinstalled current version of flash
     Looked around and deleted all plist, and java folders in library locations (user and main system)
     Cleared out metadata folders
     Reset Safari several times
     Java Preferences
          Cleared all cache
          Made sure no old versions there (2 entereis)
          Reset all defaults
          Removed any blocked items
Current Java version per terminal
java -version
java version "1.6.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_31-b04-415-10M3646)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.6-b01-415, mixed mode)
So - Java is up and working - works in Chrome and Firefox. Have reinstalled both from current versions. Reset all browser cache. Issue follows Safari. Normally installing these and trying again works. I do not know what other things to reset or clear out.

Yes, I got distracted for a moment with something, came back and I didn't finish reading the OP's original post, I have since edited mine.
BTW, the Mozilla plug-in checker is basically useless for Safari users, since have of those I have have no status, but work in Safari:
I don't know the causes for the "Research" one's, why there isn't a link or why it doesn't update the checker,
But at least it's infomative, as vulnerable plug-ins are responsible for MacDefender and Flashback malware attacks.
Someone with a lot of plug-ins should be running Firefox and NoScript, as your very exposed to multiple attack vectors from any of those plug-ins, which is the purpose of the web site, to get the word out about outdated plug-ins with potential security issues.
