What is com.apple.WebKit.Plugin.64 and how do I close it to install Flash Player?
I am trying to update my Flash Player. During the install process it says I need to close the following program: com.apple.WebKit.Plugin.64 I have no idea what this is or how to close it. I am running Safari 8.0.2 in OS X Yosemite. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
i too was trying to update adobe and it kept stopping, saying i needed to close
com.apple.webkit.plugin.64. but i had no idea where that was. so i opened the activity monitor and found it. it said it was opened in safari, under our guest account. i had closed safari under my user name, but didn't realize it was still opened under our guest acct. once i closed it there, i retried the installation, and i am happy to report it finished it with ease.
so i would say to try and make sure safari is closed for all account users using your computer!!
good luck!!

I have been having some trouble over the last couple of days with UserEventAgent process. It constantly consumes over 100% CPU. This of course results in obvious problems of the unit getting really hot, high CPU fan speed and faster battery drain.
While investigating the root cause, I removed each of the plugins (located at /System/Library/UserEventPlugins/) one by one and restarted the UserEventAgent process (if you force quit the process, it restarts) and each time, observed the impact on CPU consumption.
After a while, I was able to zero down on "com.apple.cts.plugin". If I removed this file from the plugins folder and forced UserEventAgent to restart, my CPU usage went back to normal with no excess heat or high-speed fan.
While it seems to solve my problem, I am left wondering what this plugin really does and if by not having it I am putting my system at risk.
Any help would be appreciated.I learnt this the hard-way as well. I am not too sure but probably it has something to do with cerification authority or something like that. BTW I am looking for the answer as well.

Circular redirection when trying to install Flash Player plugin in Firefox
When I try to update the Flash Player plugin in Firefox (25.0.x) under WinXP (32bit), WinVista (64bit) and Win7 n(64bit), I'm directed to the "Get Flash Player" page. When I click "Install), I'm redirected to an Adobe Products page, which has a "Get Flash Player link"; when I click on that link, I'm redirected to the (previous) Get Flash Player page, where, when I click "Install", I'm redirected to the same Adobe products page, and so on and so on and so on. What the h*** is going on, and how do I get to download the Flash Player plugin?
I don't know why this is happening, but try downloading the offline installer(s):
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers) -

Prevent com.apple.WebKit.WebContent to grab keyboard focus
When I run XQartz based applications (org.macosforge.xquartz.X11), the com.apple.WebKit.WebContent running for every Tab of Safari steals away the keyboard focus every so often. This interrupts the workflow and is very annoying.
When using Google Chrome or Firefox this does not happen.
Does anybody know how to prevent this with Safari (7.0.3 OSX 10.9.2)?Do you have the Develop menu enabled?
If so, click Develop from the Safari menu bar.
In the drop down menu, if anything is ✔, click once to deselet then quit and relaunch Safari. -

Com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
My Dad's Safari 5.1 keeps on wanting to open PDFs using the QuickTime plugin. If we remove com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist, and start Safari, it recreates the file with the PDF mime type set to true. If we manually change it to false, and start Safari, it no longer uses QuickTime to display the PDF, but some time later, the plist has changed back to true. So far we have not got to the bottom of why the plist keeps changing.
On my Macs, after removing the plist, when it gets recreated, it is false. I did a clean install on my Macs, whereas my Dad upgraded from Snow Leopard. I don't really want to tell him to clean install !Dez,

HT1386 What is "other" in the storage category and how do you reduce that amount?
What is "other" in the storage category and how do you reduce that amount?
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...
