The CD player is blocked!!

Please help me... The CD player of HP Pavilion dv6 1119-el doesn't open!! I tried to get out it manually with a clip but it doesn't open!! Thank You..

It may be that your optical drive is spinning up for no apparent reason - I know that the MBP tries to access the optical drive on start-up (hence the sound of the drive) but I've never heard of the drive trying to access unless you insert a disc.
What model MBP do you have (late 2011, for example) and which version of OS X are you using?

Hi Anne,
Your version of Safari is still supported. Please see Adobe Flash Player | Tech specs for supported OS and browsers.
If the Flash Player plugin is in the Plug-ins (disabled) folder it's because it's an older version that Apple has disabled in Safari. This has nothing to do with whether or not Flash Player supports the browser.
I'm not sure what you mean by "when i click on flash player itself i am told there is no application to open it." Flash Player.plugin only works in the browser to view Flash content in the browser. The plugin does not open files outside of the browser. If you have SWF files you'd like to view outside of the browser, then you'll need the Flash Player projector. However, based on your previous comments this doesn't appear to be what you are trying to do.
Google Chrome does embed Flash Player in it, while Firefox does not. Mozilla has also recently started blocking older versions of Flash Player in Firefox similar to what Apple is doing in Safari.
Following the 'clean install' instructions should result in you having the latest version of Flash Player installed that will not be blocked by the browser.

Adobe Flash Player has blocked me from using FF. A box shows up and the upper screen is grayed out

When I start FF, a small box comes up in the upper middle of the screen - it is from Flash Player and it has two selections: allow and deny. With this flash player box, the upper third of the screen is grayed out. It will not allow use of most visited, bookmarks, or anything that is to be initiated at the top of the page. Even if I start a program, I cannot use the upper controls for that program. This is the second day that it has been blocking my use of FF. Note: I also use Seamonkey, but it has not been affected by the flash player problem. I have re-installed flash player, re-booted, restarted FF, and no changes have come about. I am still blocked from using FF. In fact, I am using this support page on Seamonkey.

this sounds really strange, could you attach a screenshot of the issue?
another thing you can try to troubleshoot the issue is a clean reinstall: remove firefox from the windows control panel & chose to remove all personal data in the uninstaller. afterwards manually check if the firefox program folder got deleted (it's usually in ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox'') and else remove it manually. then download & install a fresh copy at getfirefox.com
if this doesn't work either please do a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner], [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx microsoft safety scanner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan].

I'm trying to download Adobe Flash Player, but the yellow bar with the 'Allow' button doesn't come up, so the programme is being blocked, giving me no ability to unblock it.

A bar is supposed to come up, when I'm trying to download Adobe Flash Player. The bar is supposed to have an option to 'Allow' the download. The programme is being blocked and is not downloading, but the bar doesn't come up, so I'm unable to enable its download.

The instructions you are referring to are out of date and not the ideal way to install / update Flash.
Instead:
# Download (save to your desktop) http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe
# Download http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
# Close Firefox
# Run uninstall_flash_player.exe, click through to uninstall any old versions of Flash
# Run install_flash_player.exe to install Flash.

I updated Flash Player, and now it says the plug-in is blocked...

I am on an iMac (OS X, version 10.6.8), running Safari (5.1.10).
Flash was running fine.
I got a notice on Facebook that I needed to update my Flash Player.
Silly me, DID!
And now, it says the 'plug-in is blocked' and I need to update.
So I updated again. Still blocked.
I did a re-start after the update, thinking that might help. Nope.
Well, this is one way to get me off of Facebook, thanks a bunch! :-)

Region of the dvd player blocked

Hello!! I've been trying to know what are the possible way to unblock my dvd player in my mackbook pro. Actually according to the application dvd player, I have only the right to change 4 times the region.Well I did it more than 4 times and now it's stuck in region 1. I need to know how it is possible to make the dvd player multiregion. I'd like to play any dvd, any time at any region. How is it possible to make it? Is there anysoftware, or other? I need solutions cause I spent so much time trying to fix it, and I can't think of anything!!
Could u tell me asap please cos i need to watch certain movies for my masters!

To make your SuperDrive region free you'll need a firmware patch although these are few and far between for the Matishita drives Apple uses. So, your best option is to see if Apple will do a manufactuer reset on your drive. This will get you another 5 changes (you can only do a manufacturer reset so many times as well so this is not a long term solution).
The best option you have is to buy a cheap external drive with which you can patch to be RPC-1 region free.

I can not get the flash player plug in to work with Internet Explorer

I can not get the flash player plug in to work with Internet Explorer

I can't get the computer to update anything as far as I can see.
The flash plug in does work with the Crome browser but it will not work with Internet explorer.
I looked in the manage add-ons and it says enabled.
I also went into the safety tab and deselected
Active X filtering.
Restarted and still does not work.
I need help.....
Chrome uses a different and separate plug-in.
There are things about IE you need to know, especially 11. Specifically:
"User-Agent Strings"
That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess they've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Adobe Flash Player was blocked because it is out of date - HELP

I have installed the new Flash player (11.6.602.171) about a dozen times. I have Windows 7 (64 bit).
I cannot view any videos that require Flash Player (eg on Facebook or YouTube or a YouTube embedded video)
I see this message (Flash Player was blocked because it is out of date) on IE 9 and Chrome and Firefox. Firefox even asked me to enable Flash Player which I did - but to no avail.)
When I go to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html I can see the movie and the box verifies my installation.
I have checked Manage Addons and Shockwave Flash Object is Enabled.
ActiveX Filtering is unchecked.
I have tried installing with my virus protection turned off.
I have closed all my browser windows during installation.
I have rebooted my computer after installation.
I have updated Java.
My Microsoft updates are up-to-date.
Nothing works.
Please help!
Marcia

Hi Marcia,
If all browsers are blocked (IE, Chrome and Firefox), then I'd suspect a third party utility/service is interfering. This could be a virus scanner/security application or possibly an ad blocker. Even turning this off might not be enough (I've seen recent reports that Bitdefender issues were only resolved after a full uninstall.) What apps are you running? If you haven't already, make sure you've cleared your browser cache. I'd also try resetting your hosts file (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034). Finally, can you try restarting your computer in safe mode with networking enabled to see if video starts working?
Thanks,
Chris

Flash Player update blocking some folders/photos upload?

Why is the latest Flash Player update blocking some folders from view in my laptop's photo library when I attempt to upload a photo to a website (ie FaceBook, Yahoo email, ect)? I'm using Windows 7 and IE 10.0.4

When I attempt to upload a photo onto Facebook or an email (for example). I click on attach/upload and click on my Photo Library, but not all of my folders are showing up, so I can't upload those photos. Although if I open up my Photo Library directly on my laptop the folders can be seen and accessed. Prior to updating my Adobe Flash Player this was never a issue.

Movie trailer or any other links in the quicktime player does not work

When I click on the movie trailer/Hot picks/Quick picks links on the player interface nothing happens. When I move the Mouse it changes to a hand showing the link is clickable.
Also when I click on the "Quicktime Website" or the "Quicktime Player Help" from the Help Menu, nothing happens.
When I go to any apple website and clicks on the sample trailer movies links, it is playing the trailer.
Anybody may please tell how to solve the problem.

I have quicktime player 10 installed on my mac and it is considered the (default) player. How can I get my Quicktime 7 Pro as my default player?

I have quicktime player 10 installed on my mac and it is considered the (default) player. How can I get my Quicktime 7 Pro as my default player? When I downloaded video from my phone, I couldn't hear the sound because Quicktime player 10 automatically opened the file and there was no sound, When I opened the file in quicktime 7 Pro, the audio was fine. I would prefer to have all movie files open automatically using my Pro version. Any suggestions? When I trashed the QT player 10 and clicked on the .3g2 movie file, it didn't automatically open with QT 7 Pro. Instead a window opened wanting to convert the file to Flash. I don't want that to happen.

Try This...
Highlight the file you want Quicktime 7 Pro to open -
Goto File > Get Info or (CMD I)
In the Get Info window, scroll down to "Open with:"
Select the player you want to open the music file.
Click the "Change All..." button if you want to
"Use this application to open all documents like this.”
