YouTube and Yahoo problems - Enable Java Script or Download Latest Flash???

For a number of weeks, I have had problems with browsing certain sites. I initially noticed that some adverts had a connection error on web pages that were displaying their content fine in every other way.
I then noticed that I couldn't access any page to do with Yahoo (connection error). I assumed that Yahoo was down until I tried to access YouTube where all that is displayed is a white page with all the text from the page in columns down the left hand side.
There is an error message that tells me to check that Java Script is Enabled or to download the latest Flash Player.
I have checked Java Script (enabled) and uninstalled / reinstalled latest Adobe Flash, but still have the same issue. I have the same problem with Firefox 2 and 3, and even installed Opera and got the same problem.
All the forums and support pages I can find don't seem to come up with a definitve answer.
This is the first REAL issue I have had with my Mac since I have had it and it has never let me down untill now......HELP!!
Thanks (I hope!!) in advance.

Could it be a routing problem even though I never used to have this problem with the current router and provider?
There are also three other laptops using the same router and provider (all PCs), they all have no problems connecting to YouTube, Yahoo, etc.
Is it possible that a routing problem would only affect my Mac?
I have tried Safari, Firefox (2 & 3) and Opera. All have same issue.
I think I have cleared cache, can someone confirm the correct procedure?

    See:

  • Error message: "Java Script turned off, Enable Java Script" How to do this? I have gone into "Tools--then Options--Then checked Java Script--Then the "OK/Save" Button but this has not helped. What is the right course of action?

    Java Script is disabled on my HP laptop. I have done the obvious things. It still will not enable Java Script. What do I try next?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • How do I enable java-script OS X.6.8?

    Yahoo says I need to enable java-script in order to get into my in box.  What are the steps OS X.6.8>
    Why the sudden problem?

    What application are you trying to enable JavaScript in? If it is Safari (your web browser) go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Security > make sure the Enable JavaScript checkbox is checked.
    Note that on older versions of Safari the exact location of the JavaScript preference may be different. Look around in preferences.
    Other browsers such as FireFox or Chrome may have the same preference, you will need to search for where to enable it.
    Best of luck.

  • I am still having problems accessing java script sites.  Anyone else having this problem?

    I am still having problems accessing java script sites.  Anyone else having this problem?

    Javascript can be left on, but Java (which is something very different) should generally be turned off.
    Apple barred Java from running on Macs, leaving companies that rely on Java plug-ins out in the cold.
    Apple blocked Java 7 Update 11 by adding it to the banned list in XProtect.
    This was the second time in two weeks that Apple has blocked Oracle's code from running on Macs. This time Java is blocked through Apple's XProtect anti-malware feature.
    Java has come under fire as the means by which hackers have been able to gain control of computers. In April 2012 more than 600,000 Macs were reported to have been infected with a Flashback Trojan horse that was being installed on people's computers with the help of Java exploits. Then in August Macs were again at risk due to a flaw in Java, this time around, there was good news for Mac users: Thanks to changes Apple has made, most of us were safe from the threat.
    Unwilling to leave its customers open to potential threats Apple decided it's safer to block Java entirely.
    Macs running OS X Snow Leopard and beyond are affected.
    UPDATE for those running Lion or Mountain Lion:
    Oracle on Friday February 1 released a new version reportedly addressing vulnerabilities seen with the last build.
    Apple disabled Java 7 through the OS X XProtect anti-malware system, requiring users to have at least version "1.7.0_10-b19" installed on their Macs. The release dated February 1 carries the designation "1.7.0_13-b20," meeting Apple's requirements.
    Oracle "strongly recommends" applying the CPU fixes as soon as possible, saying that the latest Critical Patch Update contains 50 new security fixes across all Jave SE products.
    Update foror Snow Leopard users:
    Apple have issued update 12 for Java for OS 10.6:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1573
    Note:  On systems that have not already installed Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 9 or later, this update will configure web browsers to not automatically run Java applets. Java applets may be re-enabled by clicking the region labeled "Inactive plug-in" on a web page. If no applets have been run for an extended period of time, the Java web plug-in will deactivate.

  • How can I see videos sent to me on email "enable Java Script how?

    How do I see videos on Mozilla Firefox sent to me on email? How do I enable Java Script?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I have never been able to see videos on webmail on Firefox or any other browser. Why?

    Javascript is active by default, unless you are using NoScript (an add-on)
    If you can't see any video, maybe you don't have the necessary plugins. By watching the list of plugins installed in you computer, I realise you don't have flash, do you?

  • Where is the tools on mozilla bcos i ned to check that javascript is enabled bcos i cant download adobe flash player without it

    i am trying to find the tools icon on my mozilla web browser bcos it wont let me download adobe flash player and ive donethe troubleshooting and i need to find the tolls to see if my javascript is enabled in order to download adobe flash player.can u help asap

    Have you got the NoScript add-on installed? That deals with turning on Javascript on a per site basis (it disables Javascript but you can enable it for chosen sites). If you have, then you'll need to change it so that either NoScript allows adobe.com or you can temporarily allow the site (right-click on the NoScript icon to change). Anyway, the NoScript website will have further help if this is the problem.
    If you don't have this add-on installed, then we'll need to check whether a setting in about:config has changed. about:config is Firefox's advanced configuration tool (so be careful). Open a fresh tab, enter "about:config" (no quotes) into the address bar, click the warning button (there be dragons), then enter "javascript.enabled" (no quotes) into the search bar of about:config, which should find the relevant setting. If Javascript is running, then its value should be set to true. If it's set to false, then you'll need to double-click the entry (or right-click and select toggle) to set it to true to enable Javascript.
