Why is Plug in blocked?

WHen I frist started using my new Macbook Air I think I was able to open links that require a "plug-in." Assuming I needed to re-sintall Adobe flash player, I downloaded it. But it doesn't work. What is the alternative. Lacking a "plug in' creates a big limit on using my notebook.

If you click the box that says 'Plug-in Blocked' it should tell you what the plug-in is. Alternatively if you go into Safari -> Preferences -> Security, make sure plugins are allowed.

  • Why are plug ins blocked in Safari?

    Why are plug ins blocked in Safari?  Plug ins were allowed until I updated Adobe on Sunday March 22, 2015.

    Thank you

    There was a flurry of Malware that came through, and a lot of things got tightened up.
    If you want help, make sure you have the latest versions, especially Flash, and be sure to download Flash ONLY from here:

  • Java is blocked. Don't know why. Error: Application Blocked Java Plug-In 10.51.2.13 using JRE version 1.7.0_51-b13 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM

    I keep receiving this message when trying to use http://www.exodus-chats.org/DolTerias . it uses a java based chat system, and won't allow me to open the application. I've tried checking through my options menus, but I've found no reason as to why this can be blocked. The only thing I've come up with is my plug ins, but it doesn't allow me to change anything to allow the app to be used.

  • Why does Safari say "Blocked Plug-in" when I want a video?

    Why does Safari say "Blocked Plug-in" when I want a video?

    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.

    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,
    -Jason

  • Why do i get blocked plug in

    why do i get blocked plug in message and how do i fix this?  All videos are black.

    If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
    If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
    For a "blocked plug-in" error, see Step 4.
    For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
    Step 2
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
    and confirm. Close the window. Then select
               ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...
    In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
              Delete All Site Data and Settings
    then click Delete Data. Close the preference pane.
    Step 3
    If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    Step 4
    a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
              When visiting other websites
    From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
    b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
    c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
              Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Step 6
    Open this folder as in Step 4:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
              Flash Player (failing).plugin
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    Step 7
    Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    Step 8
    If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked 
              Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
    Then click the button marked
              Manage Website Settings...
    if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
    Step 9
    Select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

  • Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on?

    Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on? First off they are not even pop ups....your crap blocks everything and don't save user names &/or passwords when you have it checked. Also in your tutorials about solving this issue says it has the word "OPTION" .......no, it never says option to allow you to bypass it and etc. Only thing is says is "ALLOW" . That would be nice , but the problem is it will not allow it from then on. It only allows it right then and then you have to refresh...after that to open again it blocks it again.....HOW STUPID?!!!!!
    It always say that this is preventing this page from automatically redirecting to another page. THIS IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO...GO TO ANOTHER PAGE........I DON'T NEED YOUr BROWSERS PERMISSION TO DO THAT. THAT IS WHAT A *%#$&*(&*%$$%% BROWSER IS FOR TO GO TO OTHER PAGES......THEY ARE NOT POP UPS!!!!!
    YOU STUPID BROWSER ACTUALLY BLOCKS EVERYTHING AND THAT SUX!!!
    HELP!!

  • HT4528 why does plugging iphone 4 into PC thru USB disable computers wireless adapter?

    why does plugging in iphone 4 to PC it is authorized on cause the computers wireless adapter to shutdown? Don't recall changing anything on either one, but did do some updates on windows update.

    You probably would get better answers to this on a Microsoft Windows forum...the iPhone should notbe doing anything to affect the operation of Windows as it does not communicate with the operating system.
    Have you checked the Network Control Panel to see if anything has been changed due to the Windows updates you installed?  Something in the updates must have changed the network settings or network card settings.

  • Plugs ins blocked, downloading adobe does not help

    Turned on computer. It said Adobe out of date, update now  - I have down so before so I did this time.
    Now youtube will not work  - says plug ins blocked. When I click on that it tells me my adobe is out of date and so it's blocked.  So download adobe!  I've done it three times and I've restarted my computer. No change. Help!

    You have to update Flash Player.
    Version # is different in this computer.
    Try clean install of Flash Player.
    Try “Clean Install”.

  • Plug ins blocked after new download

    I keep getting the message Plug ins Blocked since I updated this morning. I have a MAC 10.6 with Safari 5. How do I get this fixed? I am not computer savvy so I need step by step directions.
    Thanks.

    Uninstalling and Reinstalling will usually solve this:
    Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS
    Then download and run the installer:

  • HT5267 I was instructed to install an update for Java yesterday.  Whenever I try to use it now I get a message 'plug-in blocked'.  How can I get it unblocked?

    Since downloading the update recommended by Java yesterday, whenever I try and get into the crossword where I used it, I get the message 'plug-in blocked'. How can I 'unblock' it?

    The newly discovered zero-day flaw in Java 7 is so serious that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has warned users to disable or uninstall it, and Apple has disabled the Java 7 plugin on Macs through its OS X anti-malware system, in order to protect users from a potentially serious security issue.
    You should disable Java (if not already done) until either the US Department of Homeland Security, or Oracle, declare it safe and Apple restore the facility. Javascript should not be disabled (it has nothing to do with Java).
    However, if you need the Jave 6 JRE and plug-in, MadMAC0 has posted at
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20107182?ac_cid=tw123456#20107182
    Apple has also posted (Oct 22/12) the approved solution for restoring the Java 6 plug-in:

  • Why can't I block certain people face timing and imessageing me? I keep receiving random facetime calls every 5 minutes got to the point where I have has to turn facetime off.

    Why can't I block certain people face timing and imessageing me? I keep receiving random facetime calls every 5 minutes got to the point where I have has to turn facetime off.

    I'm having the same problem, but it's also coming through on my computer, through my Apple email address.  I have a very short Apple email, and little kids are trying to facetime their little friends, and then when I tell them I'm not their friend, they FaceTime or iMessage me even more, thinking that I'm still their friend, and I'm just kidding around. 
    I can't block the kids before they call...I don't know who they are.  I want to restrict my FaceTime to only my phone number, and block all FaceTime and iMessage requests that are coming in through my email address.  Can I do that?
    I have another thread:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5840011
