Why won't Adobe flash load and why am I now left with blocked plug ins ?!!

Yesterday I received a demand via Safari to download latest version of Adobe flash player.
I did so and immediately found my system virtually unusable, with blocked plug ins at every turn. Neither has the flash player actually installed, despite constant attempts. I have removed previous versions, etc, restarted the Mac etc, taken every bit of advice going.
24 hours later and having wasted nearly a whole day, I am still left with a Mac with applications I cannot now access which were running to perfection before trying to download Adobe flash player. Hugely frustrating and annoying.

I had a different issue in that the install hung at 95% but I used a manual install and that fixed the problem. See if this works for you as it appears that the installer is buggy.
Use the "Manual Install" mode. Control-click on Install Adobe Flash Player.app
"In the Contents/Resources folder, you’ll find a file named Adobe Flash Player.pkg. Double click it"
That worked.
Just to mention, you do not need to restart the system after installation

Why do I see "Blocked Plug-Ins" when I try to play a video - this is generally on the BBC News website. I haven't tried elsewhere.

I have an old Mac 2009.

Hello alymarvellous,
Take a look at the article linked below, it provides information about the plug-in alert that you’re seeing when browsing specific websites on your iMac.
Safari 8 (Yosemite): Safari troubleshooting
Problems with plug-ins
If a webpage has trouble showing plug-in content such as video, you may see a placeholder with a button that describes a plug-in problem. For example, the plug-in might be old, missing, or blocked.
Try clicking the placeholder button to resolve the problem.
For more information, see If a plug-in is missing and If a website has plug-in content.
Cheers,

I just transferred "all movies" to "My Passport" hard drive. Several images of the same clips appear. Is each image a valid clip? Why do I have so many?

Okay. Trash the stuff on the External Drive.
All Movies is not a place - it's a list. Specifically its a list of all the movies on your Mac. Never interact with anything in iPhoto via these All Movies or All Images lists.
In iPhoto select the Movies you want to move and go File -> Export. Set the Kind: to Original and export from iPhoto to this external drive.
Then once you're sure the export has gone correctly, erase them from iPhoto.

Why do I have so many duplicate photos on my iPad?

Somewhere along the line, the photos that I have on my iPad 2 got duplicated and all the event names were removed.
I think this happened when I upgraded to Lion and iOS 5
If I connect my iPad to my iMac, and select the iPad, I don't see any duplicates of my photos on the iPad
If I look at all my photos on my iMac, I don't see any duplicates either.
Why do I have so many duplicates on my iPad (so I donb't do this again!) and is there a way to easily remove them (if I do happen to cause the duplication again!) ?
Regards,
Jim P.

Use iCloud or iTunes to back up your phone. Then go online and delete all contacts from backup assistant.(it keeps them in the trash.) Then reset your phone and reload from your backup, then use backup assistant or Verizon cloud. Sounds like a lot but it doesn't take long.

Why do I have so many log files?

I ran GrandPerspective on my iMac because my HD is pretty much full and it shows me that I have about 140 gigs of log files (about 380 files x 365 megs). That's half my HD. Why do I have so many? Can I delete them and how? I ran Onyx and Cocktail but they are still there. They are all in the private/var/log/asl directory.
Thanks

Yes you can delete them, but you will be asked to authenticate to do so. And it is possible that they will simply start being created all over again. This can be the result of either of two things:
1. The asl log process itself is having a problem (it is so prone to problems that I have not updated my working drive to 10.5.6, but decided to stay at 10.5.5; I have an extremely clean install of 10.5.6 on another drive)
2. You have some other process that is going mad and sending out continuous log notes
For the second problem try launching Console from your Utilities folder and take a look a look at the Console log, watch it in real time and see if there are constant messages appearing, and what is sending them. Then you can start figuring out what needs to be fixed. For instance, one fairly common problem involved software installed by Canon for one of their popular scanners which constantly, several times a second, sent an error message. There are many other possible sources for such a problem.
For problems caused by asl itself, see:

If you do a Google search on ASL you'll find many similar reports.

Why do I have so many shared computers listed in finder since upgrading to Yosemite

Why do I have so many shared computers listed in finder since upgrading to Yosemite? The shared list grows. Why?

It is a bug. Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Videos have "blocked Plug Ins". I use 7yr. old MacBook

using MacBook(old) /"Blocked-Plug ins" on all videos/ down loaded Adobe Flash Player & installed...
still not working. Please HELP

When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.

Macbook pro 4gb 2.3Ghz core i5, os X 10.6.8 blocked plug ins/have checked safari settings

using macbook pro Snow Leopard 10.6.8. blocked plug ins mean I cannot access needed info./have checked settings on Safari. Where check next?

I checked and rechecked whatever I could think of to check. I have the security updates for my system and that got me to adobe and java. I redid adobe flash and before downloading rechecked specs to be sure I'd been correct earlier and crossed my fingers and downloaded/installed it again. So far, the multiple "blocked plug in" signs have retreated. I thank you very much both for the help and especially the support--I'm not so hot at trying the unknown (for me) on a computer even now! Am saving this for future use should I need it again.

I am getting blocked plug-ins and would like to resolve this issue

I recently started getting blocked plug in's and would like to know why.
How can this issue be resolved.
I have upgraded my Mac Lion to Snow Leopard. It has 2.66 GHz Intel Core Processor and 2G Memory.
Is this because of the latest new release?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I still get blocked plug-ins after downloading latest flash player. Is there a fix for this?

Blocked plug-ins. I've downloaded the latest Adobe Flash player after "Delete all" in the System Preferences\Adobe Flash Player Advanced tab, moved the flash player plug-ins from disabled internet plug-ins to internet plug-ins in the Library folder, allowed all plug-ins in Safari Preferences and in the System preferences. Is there anything I've missed because non of these solutions that I found in the Support Community have solved the issue.

HT5271 blocked plug ins, how do i stop this?

blocked plug ins, how do i stop this?

After installing Flash Player, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44: Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)

Blocked plug ins... how to unblock?

I just updated software on my MacBook and now I can't seem to get video ...
I get a message/icon that says 'blocked plug ins' and link to down load Flash, which I have done.
Doesn't seem to make it work.
Any guidance is appreciated.

I'll assume you mean Flash. If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 5.
1. If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, sign in to your YouTube account and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
2. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
3. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
4. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
5. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
6. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
7. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

Blocked plug ins - I paid apple support to fix this just a month ago, but it is doing it again. now what?

Blocked plug ins - I paid apple support just one month ago to fix this problem,and they installed a new version of flash player. Now it is happening again. Is it possible for flash player to already have a new version?
Mine is a 2011 MacPro OS X
Do I just try to install myself this time? I'm not good at this...

Adobe is a charter member of the version of the week club.
Just download the new version from adobe.com and install it.

911-PLEASE HELP! OS X Mountain Lion "Blocked Plug-Ins"anyone please?

All Plug-ins enabled, no extensions, this is killing my ability to bid on jobs from a site. Only purchased the upgrade to expand my capabilities & software, so I could bid on more gigs & now I can't even service clients I already had with this "blocked plug-ins" error. Have already Uninstalled Flash player, reinstalled. I was unable to even upload a photobooth video log to "yousendit" because the "choose file" says "blocked plug-ins". Worked with an apple tech support person for an hour, tried everything, even attempted to access a basic youtube video via Internet Explorer, Firefox & Google Chrome...NO GO! Is it possible the Mountain Lion downloaded software file could be corrupt? Please anyone...I've been dead in the water since I upgraded to Mountain Lion Wed. night. I'm am getting to the point I will need to refund the software and go back to where I was if that is even possible at this point. Please help me ...anyone.

suggestion - call apple.....since we're all users here, it's hard to give you the right suggestion/answer regarding your issue...
