Can No Longer View You Tube w/OS10.3.9 Nor Update Flash Player. Suggestions

I have a PowerBook G4, OS10.3.9 and primarily use Firefox as a browser. Yesterday when attempting to view a video on You Tube, the following message appeared: “Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.” When I clicked the Flash Player link, my browser was unable to access the Adobe download page (it continuously tried but never succeeded in “reading” the page). I typed in the URL for the download page with the same results. I then tried my Safari browser but it, too, was unable to read the download page. Finally I used Internet Explorer and was able to access the page but there was a notice from Adobe saying in essence they were discontinuing support of Flash Player 7 and recommending updating to the latest version (the heading on the page was “Flash Player 7 for Unsupported Operating Systems”). However, clicking the link provided only took me back to the same page with the same notice. Finally I was able to access an “Archived Flash Player” page where I downloaded various versions on Flash Player 7, 8, and 9, but in each instance I was taken to an Adobe page saying the download was successful and recommending I now update to the latest version. Clicking the link provided however resulted in being returned to the original “Flash Player 7 for Unsupported Operating Systems” page and I was still unable to view You Tube regardless of the browser employed. Is there now no way to view You Tube and use the latest version of Flash Player with an OS10.3.9? Can anyone offer suggestions as to how I might resolve this problem? Please accept my apologies if this issue has already been fully or partially addressed in a previous post. Thanks much.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the useful info. Unfortunately, it did not solve my problem. After completing all 6 steps you outlined, I tried to view a video on You Tube and got the same "you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player" message and, once again, when I clicked the link both Firefox and Safari were unable to successfully access/read the Adobe download page (indeed, I cannot even access adobe.com with my Firefox and Safari browsers and had to use Internet Explorer to download the latest Flash Player and even then, I could not do it from the regular download button but had to go to the "Archived Flash Player" page on the tech support site). There were several folders in the "Flash Player 9 Debug Archive" zip file I downloaded (9r115, 9r15, 9r16, 9r28, 9r45, 9r47, 9r48) and within each of the folders several different installers (while I downloaded and installed "flashplayer9r115macdebug.dmg" there was also a "flashplayer9r115ub_macdebug.dmg" installer in the same folder and, of course, a great many other installers in the various other aforementioned folders). BTW, I originally downloaded the "Flash Player 9 Archive" zip file on the Archived Flash Player page but when attempting to install the 9r115 version from this file, the downloading sequence would not fully complete and stalled at the 3 items remaining stage, so I downloaded the aforementioned Flash Player 9 Debug Archive and was able to successfully (or so it seemed) download the 9r115 version from it, but still could not view flash content as described above. Do you (or any of the other discussion participants) have any further suggestions? Thanks for your time and consideration.

Recently I cannot view certain attached videos because I need the adobe flash player. It does not get installed and the system says it will do so once firefox is closed. pl.help

recently certain video or pictorial attachments to my e-mails be opened because the system requires the installation of the Adobe Flash player with Java plug-ins. The message also gives a link for installation. It appears to install but nothing really happens. Then the message advises that it will install automatically once security is uninstalled or when Firefox is off. Nothing seems to work. Please help. P.S. I recently also installed the Firefox 4.0 version also

1.Download the Flash setup file from here using Firefox: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

Unable to view You Tube Videos - Constant Buffering

Unable to watch ANY videos on Samsung Galaxy S4 - 4G LTE. The phone is constantly Buffering after 5 or 10 seconds. Have rebooted. Removed battery. Closed (and uninstalled) apps. Anyone else have this issue?
PLEASE HELP...

I am seeing the same issue with YouTube video streaming on my Note 3 over 4G data network. I reduced the video quality to 360p and still see buffering happening every 5 seconds. I already tried Force Stop, Clear Data/Cache and reboot device. But that did not help.
When I switch to Wifi network, the same video plays just fine even at 1080p quality.
Please fix the issue with your network.
EDIT: This issue has been happening for last couple of months or so. It used to work just fine on 4G network even with 1080p earlier.

Recently, I am unable to play You tube videos. Why?

My MacBook Pro is only a few months old. I am still new to the system, and much of it greatly perplexes me. My job is largely dependent on You Tube, and I am really upset that my computer has somehow locked me out! All of a sudden, from one day to the next, I became unable to view You Tube videos. All I get is a black screen where the video should be, and there is no button to click to view the video. I cannot figure out what went wrong! I recently did a recommended software update, and joined MobileMe, but other than that, I haven't changed anything. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

This forum is not for technical/problem questions. Your post will be moved to the Snow Leopard 10.6.x forum.

Any way to view you tube videos?

is any way to view you tube videos while waiting for this quicktime fiasco to be fixed? No quicktime movies are working at all, and it's really annoying. I was wondering if there was an alternate method to view videos or do I just have to wait patientally?

well here is the deal. Since I did the recent update on quicktime, NO quicktime movies play at all. I get that faded quicktime logo with a ? instead. Youtube also has that for every video and nothing plays. I have flash 9 and I unchecked the flash option (there wasn't wasn't one in the mime settings, it was just in the quicktime advanced tab), restarted The computer and I till have the same result. It has been a week allready and I still can't view movies of any sort. Thank you for yoru suggestions, but Is there anything else that could be wrong?

Good morning.
Apple no longer includes Flash with the new Macs. So, if you run into things that require Flash you must, if you want to view them, go to the Adobe site and download the Flashplayer as Paul_31 suggested.
Enjoy your day.

I tried playing a you tube video, but received a message prompt to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. The link to Adobe stated that there are issues with MAC OS X 10.7 and Flash Player 10.3. The new version did not download. Any Suggestion

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
1. Puffin
2. SkyFire
3. Photon Flash
4. Browse2Go
5. Swifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

I hv installed latest version of Adobe Flash Player even then when I am not able to run Video and getting messgae "Latest Version of Flash Player needed"

Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.6.1.629 is not Flash.
There are two different versions of Flash, the '''''ActiveX''''' version for IE and the '''Plugin''' version used by most other browsers.
1.Download the Flash Plugin version setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

How to play video to be played in adobe flash player

How to play video to be played in adobe flash player?.

Yes, you can install the flash-supported browsers like Photon, iSwifter, Puffin etc to view flash-based websites, to play flash games, watch flash videos, etc. If you want to play local Flash videsos, you can convert the flash videos to iPad supported video formats using video converting software. This tutorial is gonna help you: http://www.iorgsoft.com/article/ipad/mac-flash-to-ipad-converter/

I keep being asked to download a new version of adobe flash player which i have done so several times but i still can't see videos i.e. face book because it still asks me to download the latest version any ideas ?

when i click on a video say on Facebook i am asked to download the latest version of adobe flash player which i have but it still keeps asking me any ideas ?

You are downloading the Flash installer, which I think itself downloads another installer, which may again download something else that has to run. Adobe's installer is one of the worst pieces of software on the PLANET.
That said, the problem is that you are not actually running the installer and letting it update Flash. Doing so will force you to quit Safari in the process.
Go look for whatever Adobe downloaded to your Downloads folder and run it.
