Trouble shooting- MIME type "application/x-shockwave-flash"

I am experincing a problem with watching youtube videos. This problem is exactly like Subtitlemewrong's problem which stated...
"I received only the December '07 update of Quicktime (7.4) and Security Update (2007-009 1.1). That's it. And then my life went to shambles and flash content no longer displays on the web!"...
"A website with flash content won't load, instead I get a block icon with a question mark and a message saying, "The page "Page Title X" has content of MIME type "application/x-shockwave-flash". Because you don't have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, the content can't be displayed." Sometimes I get directed to the Adobe site for Flash, which I'll download. But that doesn't do anything either."
I tried the solution that was given by Klaus1 and it didn't work. I uninstalled using http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2
Then I tried to install using http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash. I clicked on powerpc -based mac and started to install and recieved taht same message that I didn't have the plug-in installed this MIME type.
Thanks for you help.

Yeah, I already tried it under a different account. Unfortunately the new account had the same problem. I appreciate the suggestion. My only logical guess is that the new update to quicktime doesn't mix with 10.3 Panther. I am planning on upgrading to Leopard next week after I get my paycheck. Who knows, maybe those guys will know how to fix it, but so far...no luck. Thanks.

  • Content of MIME type "application/x-shockwave-flash"

    Hey, im not that advanced with this stuff but I keep on getting this message recently and I cannot remember any recent major downloads/updates:
    This page has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type.
    This happens on Youtube, facebook and stuff like that. Also, Ive noticed that apple trailers using quicktime isnt working. I have installed the new plugins for flashplayer and Quicktime but still no result.
    Any help PLEASE? I hate using firefox coz i love safari!
    Cheers!

    Have you by any chance moved Safari from its proper place in the Applications Folder to a sub-folder, or renamed it?
    Try this routine:
    Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
    Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
    In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
    This only takes a minute or two.

    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

  • Application/x-shockwave-flash

    I've never had a problem with flash running on my browser and
    now suddenly when I try to open a page with flash content I get the
    following message:
    The page “ussoccer.com - Home” has content of
    MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you
    don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in
    should be available on this page:
    http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer.
    I download the new Flash Player 9 and install. Same problem.
    I uninstall the flash player, reinstall flash player 9, same
    problem.
    I usually use Safari, but similar warnings occur in Internet
    Explorer and Firefox.
    I am running this on a PowerMac G4 laptop, OS 10.3.9.

    OK, so now I've tried again to open FF in safe mode again, but the problem is still unsolved. Same problem in safe mode.
    The hardware acceleration in the flash player is set to disabled long before I posted this problem.
    I didn't know that Pitchfork had such a special flash player, but the problem is the same on any sites. Just chose Pitchfork because it's an English site. Bad example then...
    Here's a better example: NME.com:
    http://www.nme.com/musicvideos/my-chemical-romance-sing/832454
    Here I only see a white space where the flash object is embedded (if it really IS embedded, I dont't know how these things work). But I can right-click and get the dialog for Adobe Flash Player 10 properties (such as settings and global settings), and if I'm lucky to hit the start button (wich I don't see), the flash object starts playing, and I hear all sound but see no image.
    I open the page info menu, and here I find in the list of media URL's the link to the flash object, described as an embedded object in the NME site:
    URL: http://www.muzu.tv/player/getPlayer/a/RSFVcmvHJ4/autostart=n&includeAll=y&soundoff=n&vidId=832454&videotype=hq
    Type: application/x-shockwave-flash
    It's grey and italic in the list of media URL's, and I assume that's because it's not properly loaded.
    But if I copy the URL from the media URL list and paste it into the adress field of a new tab, I can both see and hear the flash object without a problem.
    This is exactly the same issue with local sites that have embedded web radio stations. Cant see the object, and have to be quite lucky to hit the start button. But by stepping via info for site and copy the URL to the flash object and paste it into a new, empty tab, I can both see and hear whatever was supposed to display in the original site.
    Any help would be more than welcome! So many of the sites I use most has embedded flash objects, so if I cannot solve this I have to find another browser. I REALLY don't want to, because otherwise I really love FF...

  • Embedded application/x-shockwave-flash objects will not display

    4.0b9 on Windows XP
    I just get a white section where a shockwave flash object should be, and in all the occurences I've found it's when the flash object is embedded. Youtube works just fine, though...
    In the "white section" I can right-click and get the options for Adobe Flash Player 10, but I cannot actually choose any of the menu options.
    In some cases, I can choose to display the flash object in another tab, and then it works just fine. Typically an embedded youtube movie clip acts like that that, but not always.
    In an example, I see only a white section where the shockwave flash object should be visible in Pichfork TV - http://pitchfork.com/tv/
    When I open the page information, in the media section, list of URL's, I find an URL that is both grey and italic, and describes this URL as type Embedded:
    URL - http://pitchfork-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/player/DelveMoviePlayer.swf
    Type - application/x-shockwave-flash
    I assume this URL is grey and italic because it is not loaded or opened in the pitchfork TV site.
    This is the same problem with most embedded flash objects, and I really hope someone can help me! I've browsed aroud the support forums and tried a lot of different tips, but to no avail.
    I have of course uninstalled and reinstalled both flash player and shockwave from adobe's site, and made sure it's not the active-x version for IE that's installed.
    My add-in manager claims that Shockwave Flash 10.1 r102 is installed and enabled, and the release is the latest available according to adobe.com.
    I have also tried to open FF in secure/private mode, but same problem in both modes.
    Just to check, I tried to open this site with IE8, and there it displays correctly (and I also remembered why I don't ever use IE8, haha...), so apparently the active-x part of shockwave/flash works...

  • How to get at a mail of MIME type application/vnd.ms-excel?

    My java proggie has to deal with an email sent with Outlook '97 (don't ask me why it has to be that) and this email has the following header fields (see below). Now, my program works fine if the email has MIME type multipart/mixed. So, how do I have to do to handle an email of MIME type application/vnd.ms-excel (outline of logic or even some code snippet will be greatly appreciated)?

    Depends on what you want to do with it.
    If you want to access the data in the Excel spreadsheet
    and make sense of it, you're going to need some
    Java classes to interpret an Excel spreadsheet.
    Good luck on that. :-)
    If you just want to save the content in a file, as if it
    were an attachment, use msg.getInputStream()
    and copy the data to a file, like this:
            OutputStream out = null;
            InputStream in = null;
            try {
                out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(file));
                in = msg.getInputStream();
                byte[] buf = new byte[8192];
                int len;
                while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0)
                    out.write(buf, 0, len);
            } finally {
                // close streams, but don't mask original exception, if any
                try {
                    if (in != null)
                        in.close();
                } catch (IOException ex) { }
                try {
                    if (out != null)
                        out.close();
                } catch (IOException ex) { }

  • MIME type &#147;application/x-mplayer2&#148;

    One URL I visit pops up a warning that I don't have a "MIME type 'application/x-mplayer2' plug-in installed, so I can't use certain portions of the site. Where can I find such a plug-in? Is it a popular plug-in that is used by other sites?

    I've never come across this plugin before - doubt it's widely used - but it might refer to MPlayer OS X, MPlayer Plug-in or Windows Media, I'm not sure. Try out MPlayer Plug-in first.

  • HT1222 Is there something I should be aware of when attempting to run Adobe Flash (application/x-shockwave-flash) on 10.7.4?

    Is there something I should be aware of when attempting to run Adobe Flash (application/x-shockwave-flash)?
    I've been on a couple websites that tell me that I should download the above mentioned plugin.  BUT when I click for it to be installed, I receive the mesage "No suitable plugins were found".  I remember some comments about Flashplayer (?) being a problem and I don't want to screw things up.  I'm running OS X 10.7.4.  Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

    Only download it from a trusted site such as adobe website. It's fine.

  • Safari and MIME type "application/x-mplayer2"

    When trying to listen to web pages conatining mp3 audio files (prior to purchasing them) , Safari comes up with a message saying that MIME type “application/x-mplayer2” is not installed and only downloads the html file and not the mp3 file. When we check on our installed plug-ins in Safari, MIME type “application/x-mplayer2” has been installed.
    How do we fix this? We are using Safari Version 2.0.2 (416.12) OSX 10.4.3. It works on one of our older machines running Safari Version 1.3.1 (v312.3.3) OSX 10.3.9

    Nevermind. I answered my own question. Seek and you shall find. http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html I just had to DL the WMV plug in. All better.

  • Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type application/postscript.

    Hi,
    we are running framed web pages showing preview (PNG or JPEG) of postscript files. These previews are simply linked to the postscript files. Following this links one gets the postscript source shown and not the graphics!? The error console says:
    Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type application/postscript.  
    When one chooses to:
    Open link in new tab
    the postscript is correctly shown!
    The rough layout of the pages is:
    Start page:
      and frame2.htm (frame1.htm is not of importance):
    When one sets the target to open up a new page the postscript is shown correctly, but we want the postscript to be shown in the 'content' frame!
    If I remember correctly, did this work as wanted in the past and changed the behavior the last year. We experience this behavior in snow leopard and lion (all running the up to date Safari - and yes we are upgrading constantly).
    Any help to get the wanted behavior (back), would be very appreciated!!
    Cheers,
    Raimund

    same thing for me, anyone have any info on this?

  • Mime Types : application/octet-stream

    When using CFFILE, I am allowing "text/xml". Client is saving
    MS Excel as XML. Many test done and has worked until today when the
    error started occuring that the MIME type is not accepted. I do
    understand that the "application/octet-stream" MIME type is
    generated (sometimes) when a file is viewed or save in a word
    process or spreadsheet application.
    The question is ... are there security concerns if I allow
    "application/octet-stream" MIME type to be uploaded to the server?
    Any thoughts or conerns would be appreciated.
    -jb

    The MIME type is provided by the client browser. Is the
    browser posting an XML file and sending the MIME type as
    pplication/octet-stream instead of text/xml? In Windows/Internet
    Explorer MIME types and extensions are associated by a registry
    entry. If you have access to the client's PC you may wish to check
    this.
    If you allow application/octet-stream you are opening
    yourself up. I also recommend you check file extensions and only
    accept uploads from trusted sources.
