Why can't I view embedded flash videos on my MacBook Pro?

I can view videos on Youtube and embedded videos on some sites, but when I try to view embedded Flash videos on sites like CNN.com and NBA.com, I just get a black rectangle and nothing loads. I've tried this on all browsers. BTW, I also cannot open up tinted ads that come up in Google searches. I have the latest version of Flash, and I've deleted browsing data and settings and have checked "Allow sites to save info." I've disabled pop-up window blocker. I have no ad blocking software. I've installed the latest Flip4Mac plugin. I have even set up a new user account and tried these sites with that account to see if the problem goes away (it didn't).
I have a 12 inch 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro with OS 10.8.3 installed (though the problem started when I still had Snow Leopard). I have all the latest browsers and , as I've said above, the latest Flash. I've tried both Java 7 and Java 6. I should also point out that I can access these sites without problem with my office Macbook Pro, which is a 15 inch Core 5, loaded with the same software I have on my problem 12 inch notebook.
Any suggestions?

You have JavaScript enabled in all the browsers, yes? Have you tried launch the browsers in Safe Mode?

Not aware of a 12-inch Intel MBP. Anyway, could you possibly have an old version of flash player on your computer too. Look in the In the Internet Plug-ins folder to be sure you have only one flash player plugin. Path is HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin
Also try searching your hard disk for flash.
Some other things to try are in this thread.

Problems viewing embedded flash videos

About 2 weeks ago I had the error message while on Youtube that I needed to update my flash software. I did so and since then I can't see any videos that are embedded on websites. I can see them if I click on the direct link only and it pops up the youtube page, otherwise all I can see is an icon. Is there a way to go back to my older version of flash? I just checked IE manage add ons and it says that I have 9.0.28.0 still enabled, but when I go to the Adobe page that detects what version I am using it says I have the latest version 10.something. I am running I.E. 8 (which I dislike) is it possible to go back to I.E. 7 and avoid all this mess? If so how? I haven't run the latest Windows updates, btw. I do have Google Toolbar which I love. Please don't tell me to get rid of it because it was a pain finding it and installing it after I updated to I.E.8 and it threw it out.
Any help would be appreciated as I need to be able to view embedded videos.

Hi SF, I think at this point you will need to Uninstall and Install the new version of FP 10.0.42.34. The Shockwave Flash
Object Flash10c.ocx did not get installed in manage add ons, even tho you installed FP 10.0.32.18.
Here is the link for the Uninstaller that you will after you click on the "Windows version" SAVE to your desktop:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Here is the link for the Installer that you will run immediately after Uninstalling:http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
This will NOT be saved to your desktop.
(I had an internet outage this morning or I would have posted this sooner)
Follow the instructions completely for the Uninstall and be sure to Reboot TWICE to clear out all old versions. After the Install, Reboot Once.
After you are finished go here to test: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
Then test your websites to see if everything is working as it should and post back.
Thanks

Hi. Can we finally watch Flash videos on a MacBook Pro (OS X Yosemite 10.10.2?

Hello. I'm trying to watch a couple of videos from bbd.com, but flash is required. Is that finally sorted out?
Thx

In fact, nothing happens. Can't even find the flash icon in the applications list...
Flash Player is not an App. It is a plug-in.
Where did you get the Flash Player installer? If it wasn't directly from Adobe.com, then you might have installed some type of adware or other malware instead of Flash Player.

How can I adjust the contrast of video on my MacBook Pro Retina so they don't look like they were filmed with an old sock over the lens?

I'd like to watch movies and TV shows, downloaded from iTunes or Amazon, on my MacBook Pro Retina, but they all look like they were filmed with an old sock over the lens. Daytime sequences look muddy, and night time sequences are incomprehensible with anything but the brightest objects rendered as black. I can watch the same files on my old MacBook Air and everything looks right, but no manner of tweaking seems to let me watch movies on my new machine.
I've tried adjusting the gamma. It's a bit better when gammas is set to 1.0, but I can't seem to set a gamma less than one. I tried using the Accessibility Contrast control, but it just lowers the contrast, swallowing my desktop into the dark abyss. I tried Applecare, but they don't have a clue. I tried the Apple Store. The "genius" confirmed that it is indeed impossible to watch movies shot anywhere but in the brightest sunlight on a MacBook Pro Retina, and it isn't just my machine, but every similar model in the store. He arranged for someone who really understands color profiles to give me a call, but Apple seems to have dropped the ball on this.
Is there some tool for stretching out the darker grays in Apple video? I don't want calibration. My impression is that my display, like the dozens I checked at the Apple Store are calibrated to make all dimmer grays appear completely black. I want uncalibration so I can actually see what is going on in the movies even if something is in a light shadow or shot at night. Hollywood has lots of trained technicians who can light and shoot night scenes that are quite comprehensible. I've watched a number of such scenes on my old MacBook Air. Now, I'd like to enjoy their artistry on my MacBook Pro Retina.

http://www.ifixit.com/ has directions for do it yourself. Also look at PRAM battery instructions, as sometimes this can fix optical drive issues.
You can get external or internal drives from http://www.macsales.com/
I also suggest in the future, take care of this problem while it is still under warranty. It may have cost you nothing.

The point is that someone has to program this function and maintain it as well.
This costs money...
There are separate Bluetooth apps available.
An app cannot add Bluetooth profiles that iOS does not have.
OK, that's it then ... no Bluetooth possible in this particular case!

Documents created on my iPhone or iPad go into iCloud with no problem. Why can't I get the documents created on my MacBook Pro to go into iCloud?

Documents created on my iPhone or iPad go into iCloud with no problem and I can then access those documents from any of my "toys". However, documents created on my MacBook Pro do not go into iCloud, and as such, they are not accessable from my iPhone or iPad. How can I get the documents created on my MacBook Pro to go into the cloud?

Reset iCloud sync state
On Mac:
Close open applications
Open a Finder window
Choose “Go to Folder…” from the “Go” menu
Enter “~/Library/Application Support/”
Find the folder named “Ubiquity” and move it to the Trash
Restart your computer

Why can't I use iWork '08 in my new MacBook Pro

I have installed iWork '08, but no cursor shows up. Must I purchase a new iWork for my MacBook Pro? I really only need the word processor.

You can purchase just Pages using the Mac App Store for $19.99. There are also other word processors available for OS X. For example, Libre Office and Neo Office Aqua are free packages each similar to Office for OS X. These and others can be found at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

Why can't I sync my iTunes library from my MacBook Pro to my iPad Mini?

I have just updated my MacBook Pro with the latest iTunes, something I swore I would never do. But I had to do it in order to sync my iTunes library with my new iPad Mini. Unfortunately, after waiting 23 minutes for the software update, I STILL can't sync my music! The only songs I can see on my iPad Mini are songs I've purchased from the iTunes Store...all two of them. The remaining hundreds of songs simply don't show up. C'mon Apple, the reason I use a Mac platform is because it just always works, unlike MicroSucks. Is this what we can expect in a post-Jobs world...?

-_- this is a user to user forum.
Click on your ipad in the upper right- this takes you to your summary page.
click on music tab at the top.
UNcheck all music and apply/sync.
When that is done, REcheck everything, and sync again. This usually works.

Why can't I zoom in and out on my MacBook Pro trackpad with my fingers it was working, now I have to use command + or - to zoom in and out? It works fine when I test it with Safarie or Google Crome browsers!

When I try to make a web page larger to view text better, I can no longer use my trackpad to do so. I must do this manually!

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. It just wasn't worth the hassle. I got a good (standard size) monitor for about half the price of the old one, so I'm not too disappointed. Thanks for your help though

Why can't I recieve or send mail on my macbook pro? Mail works just fine on iphone4

The account comes up with a little warning triangle by the name of the account, when I click on it this is the first message :
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “@rogers.com” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “www.rogers.com” on port 110 timed out.
This is the second error, after I click the warning triangle the second time
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “@rogers.com” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “www.rogers.com” on port 110 timed out.
In between the above messages, I've also received the please re-enter your password message, which I do and then I get the same message 30 seconds later. At this point I usually have to do a forced quit to make it go away 8-(
I have had my macbook for two years and mail has worked just fine until this week!!
My Mac is OS X version 10.6.8, and its just the mail that comes with macs.
I have tried deleting and re-opening the account?! and restarting the computer
I have tried connection doctor and it just tells me what I already know---it can't connect to the server

The server returned the error: The connection to the server “www.rogers.com” on port 110 timed out.
It sounds like you're trying to connect to a web server, not a mail server. Check with your ISP for the right server address and settings.

Why can't I print a word document from my macbook pro

Since the last software upgrade, I am unable to print from word. I can print from excel and ppt, but not word. I have re-installed the printer drivers after uninstalling them but it still doesn't work.

If you have a macbook with internal or USB external Superdrive, insert disk, and an option appears for burning files.
Otherwise drop the movie into a folder and click on the settings button of the folder and choose "burn .......to disk"
