STILL no real answer to problems with QuickTime and Flash Player

The reply to Problems with QuickTime really didn't answer or solve the basic problem. Some sites to work at all require you to have working Flash Player 8 so when I try to use these sites I get the QuickTime logo with a question mark and then nothing. For all you experts on Apple and Mac; what is going on? Apple is the parent of QuickTime and I assume they want their customers happy with their work. So why is it so hard for these apparently small updates to their programs causing entire sites being blocked off? I have OS x 10.3.9 on a G4 iMac 855mHrz .... It seems that even though we, the customer by default become Apples program testers;the actual programers are never given the go ahead to actualy look at these problem posts. Has anyone ever gotten a solution for a problem they posted here from one of the programmers of the product? It would be nice to know we aren't left to our own devices when it comes to program gliches from the source. If the powers that be in apple are watching and willing to help; any time now is a good time to just but in on the conversation and help solve some of the problems us little people keep on running into.--------------
While online I run into sites that will NOT work without Flash Player 8 (which costs over $150.00) which is told to the viewer with a QuickTime logo with a question mark in it.
This leads the web surfer to try to upgrade or at least investigate Flash Player in their computer and it's version.When said web surfer looks at Flash player upgrade for bucks and the fact that in some way it is tied to QuickTime, web surfer gets real curious. Do the web masters for those sites know that their site is now blocked off? If any major portion ( say 30 or 40 % ) of the web surfing crowd is required to purchase an upgrade to Flash Player even though it doesn't look like Apple is the parent of said Flash Player; those web masters are going to be upset with Apple. Their income is tied to actuall access and browsing of a site, even if it is only to actually just get the Home page. With no access to the site due to no Flash Player 8, the web master is going to find those all important Hits going down to nil. -------
This post is way to broad for any one answer so I don't really expect one. But for you people who have run into similar problems with other programs and sites; I would love to hear if you got any help from other web surfers or from the parent people of those programs and/or sites. I know that my isp earthlink has helped out with problems faster than other groups involved. Anyway.. Any help or comment on this post ( or gripe if you prefer ) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sorry, but you are completely misinformed. Flash Player 8 doesn't cost one red cent; it's only the Flash creation package that you have to pay for. You can download the free Flash Player 8 here.
QuickTime can natively handle some Flash content, which is why with the lack of the Flash player the browser defaults to the QT plugin. But Flash 8 is a relatively new format from Macromedia and I'm not sure QT supports it yet. Install the Flash 8 player and things should work just fine.
And just FYI, for questions about the Mac version of QuickTime, you'll be better off asking them in the QuickTime for Mac forum.

Problems with Quicktime and flash player

Whenever I try to play a flash file the quicktime symbol comes up and has a questionmark in the middle. I have already tried uninstalling Quicktime and reinstalling it and it didn't work... I even got it to work by changing the prefrences but then it stopped working again. this all started when I downloaded the latest version of quicktime. is there a way to stop quicktime from playing flash files at all?

is there a way to stop quicktime from playing flash files at all?
QuickTime preferences -> File types -> Miscellaneous. Uncheck the setting for Flash Media.
(note: the exact location of this setting may be different depending on the version of QT you have; the above is valid for QT7. So you may have to hunt about a bit in the preferences if you have an earlier version of QT).

Problem with Safari and Flash Player

Hi, I've done a quick search and can't find an answer, however since updating from Lion to Mountain Lion I've had problems with my (2011) Macbook Pro whilst in Safari, following a Genuis bar visit last week we managed to narrow it down to a flash player problem and uninstalled and reinstalled flash was told that should the problems persist (we couldn't get the computer to repeat it's beahviour in store) then to re-install OSX, now I've done this but still getting the same problem, screen not refreashing so parts of previous page or pop still showing over top of new page and Computer getting VERY hot (to the point of almost burning. Now I've had a look on Adobe website and they recommend running 10.3 rather than 11.4 and I managed to download it from them however Safari blocks it as it's out of date, also on my iMac running Mountain Lion Flash appears to be blocking internet access, internet fails when attempting to use a website that needs flash, but works fine when not using it. Anyone got any ideas on a work around?

Try this...
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab. Click: Delete All
Relaunch Safari.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
Select: Clear History (also empties the cache)
Deselect the remaining boxes then click Reset.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a Flash based video.

High CPU Problems With Screensavers and Flash Player - FYI

Upgraded my 1.42 Ghz PPC MacMini (1 GB RAM) to Leopard, fresh install and suffered high CPU problems as outlined in various other threads.
Fixed major 100% cpu and 100% FAN issue by removing The Weather Channel Screensaver - so have a look at your console system info and see if a 3rd Party screensaver is causing a problem, or if no 3rd party screensaver, try using a simply screensaver like Forest.
Safari/Netscape/Firefox also were using high CPU when a webpage was using Flash, I removed Flash Player 9 (latest version) and cpu load decreased dramatically.
Go here for uninstall DMG

Hope this helps someone else until there are fixes.

Just wanted to clarify that the Flash and Screensaver problem is still ongoing even after the latest QT updates as of Nov 07.
The Flash problems is with Flash images/code that use moving graphics/user input, such as those adverts you see where you push a button to punch Paris Hilton.
I think the overall problem is with the way QT/Core Image/Core Animation is different in Leopard compared to Tiger. As have now often witnessed iTunes just displaying the Cover Flow image area and nothing else (everything else in the application area is white) when going between applications, clicking on the iTunes icon in the dock refreshes the image okay.

Problems with IE9 and Flash Player when Offline

I can't get embeded flash to work in IE9 with Windows 7 when offline (works fine online) but it works fine with Google Chrome. I am saving the webpage with embeded flash as html.

I was having the same problem using Internet Explorer—this is how I solved it. This worked for me—it may not work for you.
First go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and install Adobe Flash Player for your computer.
Click to open Internet Explorer.
Click the Tools button , and then click Manage add-ons.
Under Add-on Types, click Toolbars and Extensions.
Under Show, To display a complete list of the add-ons on your computer, click “All add-ons” on the left bottom under “Show”.
Under “Name” go to “Adobe Systems Incorporation” select “Shockwave Flash Object” right click on “Disabled” and click on “Enabled”
Also make sure “Shockwave ActiveX” is also “Enabled:
When you're finished, click Close.

Audio Problems with Quicktime and Flash

Hi,
For some reason, my Mac has stopped playing audio from flash and movies. I have no idea how this has happened as I cannot remember changing any preferences. This has occured with movies that I've watched before that I know the audio works on.
Does anyone know what I can check?
Thanks,
Steve.

It is a known problem and Apple even has a KB article about it.
It seems that some apps might change the sound prefs and in doing so, they keep some other apps from playing back sound. Opening a GB loop will change the settings back to the default, but you can also do it manually following the directions in the KB article.
Why they just don't change it so that those apps do not change the sounds prefs without notifying you of the possible effects, I have no idea.

Problem with dreamweaver and Flash

Hi, maybe someone can help me, i have any problem with
dreamweaver and flash, i have a page and i have a menu and
sub-menu, and the same page i have a category en flash 550 x 700 (
photography and more... ) but when the menu to unfold
the menu to see under flash and it cant see ( sorry my
english is bad.... i hope you can understand me, and help me.. )
i dont now why always flash ever stay up, or first, and
another information under flash... this a problem... if you have
menus...
thanks.... have nice day.....

This is a drawback of using flash or any other active
content. By default, all active content including flash will
display over every other content and thats why your menu stays
under the flash movie. Some people make the flash background
transparent to show content under the flash movie, but that will
not work for menu items.
I would suggest that you make the menu such that it does not
overlap with the flash movie.

Problems with Quicktime and DV25

Can any one help me? I keep getting a big white stripe at the right of the frame when exporting from HD (XDCAM HD 422) to DV. It makes itself visible when you watch the DV in full screen mode. It covers the whole screen from top to bottom. Any Ideas?

Yes, I have this problems too.
Since I have done this Updates, the Audio Sync is not OK and my Songs going demadged by using -Audio Groups-.
Before this Updates, my recordings were ever perfekt.
In the last record-session - everything sounds good while recording, but the playback was in a absolutly wrong timing. First I thought it is just a 2 sec. delay in the records, but NO it becomes slower and slower and in the end of this audiofile it was totaly crazy.
I tried to record again, but nothing worked. It was on Tiger 10.4.6, Logic Pro 7.1.0 and Quicktime 7.1 with RME HDSP 9652. Now I'll try the new Updates Logic 7.1.1 with Quicktime 7.1.1. Maybe this solves my problems. If not, then I only can try to go back in the versions of Tiger, Logic Pro and Quicktime.
I am wondering why nobody else got this problems, because I have this problems on two PMacs G4 + G5. Both very good PMacs. They worked very well before this Updates.

Answers to Problems With Icloud and Office 2007 Outlook?

My computer has a Windows 7, 64 bit operating system and Microsoft 2007 Office, which includes Outlook 2007 where I do most of my mail and keep my daily calendar and all my contacts. I wanted to sync my iphone 5 calendar with Microsoft's Office 2007 Outlook Calendar. I followed the instructions but it has never worked and Icloud put my original Outlook Calendar and Contacts in the deleted folder for Outlook and substituted folders called Contacts1 and Calendar1. Unfortunately, the sync with my iphone does not work properly. It did the very first time after installing icloud and itunes but thereafter all it does is upload stuff to icloud and additions made in my Office 2007 Outlook calendar since the first sync do not get transferred to my iphone calendar. After numerous attempts to make this work I decided to just forget about trying to sync with icloud so I deleted it from my system along with itunes and now i am left with the icloud calendar1 and contacts1 in Outlook 2007. I am unable to transfer my icloud calendar entries back to the original Outlook 2007 calendar the same for contacts. Can anyone tell me how to do this so I can delete the icloud folders contacts1 and calendar1 from Outlook 2007? Thanks.

Try to export them as .pst files from within Outlook (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/export-contacts-HA102919759.aspx). Then disable iCloud syncing and import the .pst backups back to Outlook.

Problem with the adobe flash player, its falling down, what to do?

Its always falling down almost immediately when i hear music. I have tried to update Adobe Flash player and so on. But it still not working, its strange but i have been thinking if Mozilla doesn't ''allow'' the adobe flash player. Do I need maybe change Firefox to something else??

Is it only the sound or do you have other problems with Flash as well?
See [[No sound in Firefox]] and [[Video or audio does not play]]
You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.
You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.
You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.
You can also try to uninstall and reinstall Flash.
Troubleshoot Flash Player installation for Windows: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
Flash Player uninstall: http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157 (this will remove the Firefox Flash plugin and the ActiveX control for IE)

Chrome comes with Flash Player preinstalled; you shouldn't need to install it manually.
Make sure it is enabled: http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=108086

Having problem with updating latest Flash Player

i have installed the latest adobe flash player from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ but it doesnt work, and the link that google gave to me isnt working either
it's make me cant open some websites like google, facebook, and youtube. when i click "remind me later", it's still forcing me to download it

i've tried firefox and IE and same problem happened
I should have looked closer the first time.
Wanna know why you're seeing this?
THERE IS NO SUCH THING as Flash Player Pro. Not from Adobe. Never has been.
The reason you see it in EVERY browser is that your OS is infected with Adware.

Problem with IE8 and Flash on LL Bean website

My desktop machine is running XP SP3 with all updates and the latest Flash Player. When visiting the LL Bean online catalog you view the products which have small pictures associated with them. If you click on a picture a larger window opens up with zoom controls etc which gives you a much better idea of what the product looks like. This works perfectly with my laptop running the same software setup as well as my work computers. With my desktop the image loading progress bar runs to the end of the bar and then just sits there. It doesn't hang IE8 or anything...it just sits and does nothing. I can close the window and go back to browsing the catalog with no problem until I try to view another larger image where it does the same thing.
So far I have not run into any issues with any of the other websites I have visited.
I am hoping the experts here can help me resolve this problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled flash 3-4 times. I have read several articles on google but none quite like what I'm experiencing...I have run into a brick wall.
Any help tearing the wall down will be much appreciated.

It do happen with IE many times. Few flash files works exactly in other browsers but in IE they dont. Try to update the IE latest software or patches from microsoft website.
