Shockwave plugin is set to "Never Activate". All pages with flash still work?

shockwave plugin is set to "Never Activate".
All pages with flash still run automatic.
I just updated Shockwave to 12.1.7
Before doing this the "Never Activate" worked.

Just to make it a little more confusing, Adobe has two similarly named plugins:
* Shockwave Flash (current major version is 17) -- this is the Flash player -- https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
* Shockwave for Director (current major version is 12) -- only the rare site uses this one -- https://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
I'm assuming both are set to "Never Activate" because the site wasn't able to detect either of them (see the More System Details link next to your post).
So probably sites are using some other method to play the media. If you right-click it (or Mac equivalent!), do you get a different plugin menu, or the standard Firefox context menu?

Screen Saver in 10.6.1 Activates When Set To Never Activate

Anyone else having this issue?
I have the screen saver set to never activate in the System Preferences, having opted to use a hot corner instead, and still, after fifteen minutes, if I haven't moved the mouse cursor or hit a key, lo and behold, the screen saver comes on! It's the most annoying thing, especially if I'm compiling code which takes longer than that, or trying to watch a movie or Hulu or some such.
Add this to the other issue I'm having, whereby Mail in Snow Leopard often doesn't want to send outgoing email through my server at work. These seem like things which shouldn't be occurring in a commercial operating system, especially now that it's at a .1 release, meaning there's been time to recognize and fix bugs, and I know the Mail bug is a big one lots of people have complained about.

delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/byhost/com.apple.screensaver....
and log out/in. set your screensaver preferences again and see if they stick.

Firefox crashes when loading any page with flash. I have tried all available fixes including plugin updates. If I disable flash the crashes stop, but no flash.

Firefox crashes on any page with flash. I have the most recent version of Firefox on OSX Snow Leopard. I have made sure that I have all the most recent plugins and extensions and I am not running any custom theme. I have completely un-installed and re-installed Firefox and flash to no avail. I think the problem is in some user preference, but I cannot seem to find it. If I log out and use a different user on my machine, Firefox does not have the flash crash problem.
== Crash ID(s) ==
??

JYOuyang: I have the correct plugin for Flash. My problem is not the "Flash crashed" icon, which would be generally acceptable, but FIREFOX crashing, usually rather dramatically. I have since regressed to Firefor 3.6.3. I am still using Flash 10.1, the newest version. This no longer causes Firefox to crash. Now then -- if the same plugin causes no crashes in the new version of Firefox and does cause crashes in the prior version, it is not exactly a humongous leap to conclude that maybe, just maybe, there was a bug introduced in Firefox 3.6.4? I mean, it's not as if a major feature of 3.6.4 was a significant change in how plugins interact with the browser or anything... oh, wait, there was, wasn't there? Hmmm. Saying "It's Adobe's fault!" rings a little hollow when the 10.1 plugin works correctly in the prior version of Firefox. Any kind of host/plugin model relies on a contract between the host and the plugin, and when there's a crash, it indicates one side or the other broke that contract. Under the circumstances, it's difficult not to suspect the blame for this lies on the Firefox side. It's certainly possible that Adobe's code IS broken and the problem is that it SHOULD work with the new version of Firefox, if it were properly written, but it's not, so it doesn't. However, no one seems to want to dig down to find out or provide a workaround other than regressing to 3.6.3, so that's what I've done -- Firefox does too many other things right for me to switch browsers at this point.

Firefox hangs on all sites with flash content.

Firefox hangs on all sites with flash content. If I disable the flash plugin there is no hanging but obviously no flash content either. I have tried all the suggested actions found in the help sections for hanging and plugin problems. The Honda UK site listed below is one of many I am unable to access with flash enabled.

Yep, this issue only happens on Windows 7 32-bit machines, currently 6.
Do you have any 32bit systems that don't fail?
Yep, the most Windows 7 32-bit machines wont fail.
What about hardware, are there similarities here? Attached devices/drivers? Software that is running at the time?
These machines are all from DELL. They all have normal hardware, nothing special. Other machines from same type does not affected. Software: All have standard software distributed via Software-distribution (GPO). Only some PCs have special software, but it is not running. No special drives, too.
Maybe try booting Windows in safe mode to see if it still hangs?
Good idea, indeed - I will try this.
We're definitely interested in what's going on. I'll ask our security and Mozilla folks to see if they have additional clues.
Thanks!
EDIT:
Safe mode: Flash is working! (without disabled Protected Mode!)
I've set msconfig now to: Custom system start and deselected the boxes to load systemservices and system start elements.
So, now windows does a non-safe mode boot but no service or element was loaded except the drivers (right?). Flash is not working with this config!
So, whats the difference between safe mode and normal boot with minimal configuration (see attached picture).
Only drivers will be loaded, right? If so, I can exclude the network and graphics driver as source: graphics driver are updated right now and network was working in safe-mode.
Any new ideas?

Chrome, Firefox, IE all crash when leaving page with flash

   Hi,
I am running XP with SP 2 on a Intel Core Duo Dell machine. These are coporate machines. I've had two in the past two weeks and both are giving me the same error.
   After installing the latest flash player, all browsers are able to load a flash page. However, when leaving that page for another, all browsers stop responding. They don't crash, they merely freeze.
   Chrome indicates that the flash plugin has crashed and would I like to terminate it. The others simply stall.
   I've uninstalled, re-installed, rebooted.. etc.
   Interestingly enough, a fellow coworker who appears to have the same machine as I, does not have this problem.
   Any ideas on how to debug this ?
   Thanks
   J

i seem to have the same problem too....
chrome tells me that Shockwave plugin has become unresponse then says its crashed....
Firefox becomes unresponsive (i've left it in that state for quite a while..result nothing)
i uninstall flash using the uninstaller provided from adobe (or from add and remove programs, tried both options) and browsers run perfectly fine... of course access to flash content lost since i need the plugin...!
I'm running Vista Home Edition SP2
antivirus - AVG Free
particular websites that i use (all of them with flash content crash!!!) and that crash EVERY time - youtube, bbc.co.uk, facebook, gmail, f1-live.com, all sites with flash crash!!
i've tried everything i could find on firefox forums, chrome forums, and here... nothing works... now i'm gonna revert to flash 8 and try... hopefully adobe will respond to this problem... its not jus one or two who are facing this problem...!!

How to set permissions like "For all users" with Sandbox

Hello!
Hello!
I am using Sandbox for Mac OS X Leopard and I've got a question to you:
How can I set up a folder to behave like the For all users folder in the users directory?
Greetings

Well, sandbox sets ACL's not posix permissions. The sticky bit is a posix permission. Sand box will allow you to do something similar to the sticky bit using ACL's, but the exact duplication of the sticky bit is not possible, but something just as useful or more useful can be easily implemented.
To set the sticky bit you will need an app called FileXaminer or the Terminal.app command line.
to set the sticky bit simply put "1" in front of the the permissions number when you run chmod on the command line, here is an example:
chmod 1775 /users/data/shared #assigns permissions 775 and the sticky bit#
chmod 775 /users/data/shared #assigns permissions 775 without the sticky bit#
note: note actual use of the chmod and chown commands will, in most cases require the sudo (super user do) command to be used with them. example:
sudo chmod 1775 /users/data/shared #assigns temporary super user priviledge#
The way I set my shared user's directories with ACL's is this:
first I created folder /users/data -permissions=777 (everyone).
I had three users so I created folders for each in /users/data:
/users/data/user1 #this is just example-substitute real user name#
/users/data/user2
/users/data/user3 #etc,etc,#
set the posix permission on each user folder 700 (owner:read,write,execute)
set the owner and group on each one accordingly:
chown user1:staff /users/data/user1 #substitute real user name#
chown user2:staff /users/data/user2
chown user3:staff /users/data/user3 #(etc,etc)#
Now each user has their own data folder they can read and write to at will (when they are logged in to their user account).
They can safely create and maintain their data and no one can delete it.
Since these are shared data accounts. other users will need to read the data, this is where the ACL's come in.
You will need to use Sandbox to place ACL's for each allowed user, on each of the user directories:
0: user:joe inherited allow list,addfile,search,add_subdirectory,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsec urity,file_inherit,directoryinherit
1: user:mary inherited allow list,addfile,search,add_subdirectory,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsec urity,file_inherit,directoryinherit
2: user:sue inherited allow list,addfile,search,add_subdirectory,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsec urity,file_inherit,directoryinherit
Basically with the above ACL's the only thing the allowed user can't do is delete files. They can copy files, they can add files, etc. This behavior is somewhat similar to what can be accomplished with the sticky bit, but much more controlled and structured. That is the beauty of using ACL's.
Using SandBox you can taylor the permissions as you see fit for each every user. You can set permissions for an administrator to delete files as well. You can take away or add permissions for each user as you see fit. let your imagination be your guide.
ACL's weren't meant to replace posix permissions, but rather to allow administrators to fine tune user permissions.

Re: What can I do if Flash player isn't working at all? Does Flash player work on Macs?

March 1 2015
I'm just gonna keep updating this as I can't really do anything else. I've found several more questions like mine with no answers. I did find one with an answer that mentions that it may be the video card acting up, so I'm gonna post a screenshot of my information.
March 1, 2015
I posted this question on the 25th, and have yet to receive an answer. Because of this crashing problem, I can't do anything on my computer outside of play solitaire, and hang around Adobe communities looking for an answer. I've found several questions like mine (Mac, firefox, flash player constantly crashing) that have no answers either, and I'm getting upset. I've been floating around Mozilla and Apple's help sections, and there's no answer there either. How do I get an answer? Or is there just no fix for this issue and Flash player doesn't work on mac anymore? Is there another program that I can use in place of Flash player? I would very much like an answer, response, or anything cause I stuck here till then. Thank you for you time.
Here's more crash reports:

What can I do if Flash Player is not working at all?
MacBook Pro 10.6.8
Firefox 36.0 no plugins
Adobe Flash Player 16.0.0.305
Hello,
Since last week, Adobe Flash Player has not worked on my computer at all. I can't watch any videos, and any webpage using Flash for the ads crashes. I tried using Adblock initially thinking that the ads were the problem because they have frozen my computer in the past. This did nothing, so I went through the trouble shooting guide for Flash on Mozilla's website. I removed all plugins, disabled hardware acceleration, and even uninstalled Firefox and Flash player then reinstalled them again. It still keeps crashing, and I don't know what to do anymore. Is there anything that can be done? Thank you for your time.

Hi Chelsea,
The USER forums are a forum for users, while Adobe staff does participate it is not our primary responsibility to participate and we post in-between our regular work. Since these are primarily user forums a time-frame for responding is not guaranteed, especially if another user is not familiar with the issue and can't be of assistance.
Please file a bug at https://bugbase.adobe.com/ and include as much information as possible, including attaching the entire contents of the crash log file. Please post the bug number here and I'll triage the bug to get it to the right folks for investigation.

Filter all photos with flash light ...

Hi,
how can I filter all photos that were made with a flash light?
I only can find ISO or aperture options in the filter pane.
Can I extend the filter pane by own filter options?
Thanks
Konrad

The Filter Pane, at least in CS3, is limited as to how you can arrange your photos by the topics listed.
If you want to list all the pictures you shot with flash you will have to use the Find function (ctrl F) and set the critera boexs to Flash, exists, and Fired. Have not tired this but should work.
You can save this as a collection if you want to refer to it again.

Can I set up a Master-Detail Page with report regions for 2 Detail Tables?

Hi there,
I am just starting to use Application Express.
I have a Table (A) with Master-Detail relationships to two Tables B & C.
I can set up a Master-Detail Page between Table A and Table B, where the records displayed in Table B change when switching between records in Table A. I would like to add Table C to the page and for this to work in the same way.
Is this possible in APEX? (I've tried adding a report region for Table C and making the Region Source dependent on the same ID field as is used by the report region for Table B but I keep getting "No Data Found" for Table C).
Many thanks.

Thanks, but the text needs to be on a single master page which every page is assigned to. This is so the text alternates correctly regardless of whether new pages are inserted or moved. If I assigned separate master pages to individual pages and then moved the pages to a different location, the alternating footer text would then fall out of sync. I hope that made sense!

Safari (and Firefox) freezing on all pages with embedded video

Hi, is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any pages with video, with the exception of YouTube, have been freezing on both Safari and Firefox (Hulu, etc.). They don't load and I have to force quit the applications (and, of course, not watch video). Is anyone else having this problem? I've repaired permissions, emptied the cache, delete the plist file, and it's still happening.
Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions? All help appreciated. M

I was having a problem with Safari and Firefox and Camino quitting when I tried to view an online video, such as full length episodes on the TV network websites. I upgraded Adobe Flash to the latest version (version 9.0.124.0) and then repaired permissions and this took care of the problem. (Before I posted this I double checked the fix by going to the CBS and NBC web sites and watching 5 minutes of CSI:NY and Chuck and both played fine with nary a hiccup.)

Is it possible to set the default font in Pages with Workgroup Manager?

School district. We use iWorks '09 (currently) and several teachers would like the default font for all students to be a specific font (Comic Sans because of the shape of the letter 'a' and the number '4').
I know about creating the template and using the template, but that must be done for all student accounts, and must be done again for any incoming new students.
I would prefer there to be a way of setting this in WorkGroup Manager? I don't see that it is possible though. Or am I missing something?

You might also consider using color groups with Illustrator. Let me know what you think. It may help you out with projects that use the same color preferences.

Whenever I shoot video using the 1080/60i setting and upload those video clips into Final Cut Pro X, they have no video, they just appear black.The audio works but there is a weird background noise that shouldnt be there. The main issue is that I can't use the video because it is all black.
Please Help. Thanks,
