Youtube videos wont load for me with the newest flash player...what can I do?!?!?!

The video screen is all black. It doesnt load. How do I fix this problem?!?!? I use firefox 5 and the newest flash player.

A lot of people are reporting this today. Can you check whether it works in Firefox's Safe Mode (with add-ons disabled)?
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, try starting Firefox in
[https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Firefox Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
Does YouTube work in that mode? If so, one of your add-ons, particularly one in the Extensions category, is a prime suspect.

  • Cannot do anything with the new Flash Player 10.1

    We have a Dell desktop and I don't know much more than that as I am not tech savy, but we have tried several times to install the new Flash Player and when I check it shows that it is installed, but when we try to upload anything on Facebook or watch any videos, it says we must download the new Flash Player. So we have uninstalled it several times also to re-install it again. HELP me!!!! We are getting very frustrated.

    Hi, ok you have the XP. What version of Internet Explorer are you using? If you don't know, go up to Help and click on About Internet Explorer. That tells you there. Also you should see an update for XP, SP1, 2 or 3. I need that info also.
    Do you have any other browsers Installed?  If so which ones and version numbers please.
    Thanks,

    We are on holiday in Mexico. Our iPad2 has no problem connecting to the Internet through our hotel's subscription WiFi network. But, both of our macbookpros can not with the same password. What can we try?
    We can join the network, but can not access the Internet. The password is correct. We have tried network assistant and diagnostics, restarting the laptops, re-joining the network. Our iPhone 4s also works all the time.
    Same location. Signal strength is good.

    Since I couldn't figure out a way to edit our original post, here's another potential clue.
    Our laptops, when in System Preferences>Network, say "WiFi has the self-assigned IP address of XXXXXXXXX and will not be able to connect to the Internet".
    Strangely, my six year old MBP running OS 10.6.8 accessed the Internet straight away, just by opening Safari to my home page. My wife's six month old MBP running OS 10.7.2 could not.

  • Problem with the adobe flash player, its falling down, what to do?

    Its always falling down almost immediately when i hear music. I have tried to update Adobe Flash player and so on. But it still not working, its strange but i have been thinking if Mozilla doesn't ''allow'' the adobe flash player. Do I need maybe change Firefox to something else??

    Is it only the sound or do you have other problems with Flash as well?
    See [[No sound in Firefox]] and [[Video or audio does not play]]
    You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.
    You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.
    You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.
    You can also try to uninstall and reinstall Flash.

  • Issues with the new flash player upgrade

    I work for a magazine where I have interactive slideshows for
    image based content. With the upgrade of the new flash player all
    the getURL flash buttons are inert. All the buttons are doing are
    going to the next page in the slideshow. How do I get them to work
    with the new player. I understand I may need an "AllowAccess"
    parameter to make it work but not sure where it goes. Here's one of
    the files in question:
    http://spectrum.ieee.org/apr08/6157/
    The script is real basic to make it somewhat error proof
    on (release) {
    getURL("
    http://spectrum.ieee.org/apr08/6157/10");
    Any help would be appriciated

    At work, symantec endpoint. At home, norton. Ever since firefox 15, no flash version works except for 11.2. Now that ff18 was pushed out, it "forces" the upgrade to 11.5, and absolutely will not accept anything less. But as with any version of flash that was not 11.2, it just causes firefox to freeze up completely.

  • How to test with the standard Flash player, rather than debug player

    Folks,
    I am interested in running my flexunit 4 tests against the standard flash player, rather than the debug player that comes with the SDK.  Is this possible?
    BTW, I am working on Windows for now.
    I installed both the flash ActiveX control for IE, and the standard flash plugin for Firefox.  I then associated the SWF file extension with Firefox using the "Open With" dialog.  I had to choose a single program, and the browser appeared to be my only choice, as I could not find any sort of "FlashPlayer10.exe" to associate with.  I ran my ant script that calls <flexunit>, and it kind of works.  It launches Firefox, runs the tests, and the results get piped back, but Firefox is not shut down.  Yep, Firefox stays open after the tests complete.  I seem to recall that the debug flash player would close itself after being opened by <flexunit>.  I tried using IE, and the same result occurs: the browser is not shutdown after the tests complete.  This behavior makes for an unacceptable test setup, as eventually the system memory on the machine will be exhausted as more and more browsers are opened and not closed.
    Questions/options:
    1) Is there a standard flash player "executable" somewhere on my system that I can associate the SWF files with (that would hopefully shut itself down)?
    2) Second choice, is there a way to get the browser to close after <flexunit> completes?
    3) or am I stuck using the debug player?  I am concerned that testing management at my company might not like the fact that we are testing against a debug player, rather than the standard one that users will likely be using. If flexunit 4 CI only supports the debug player, is there something I can say to appease management?
    Thanks for any help...
    Trevor

    @trevorbutler - Here are my 2 cents, but the group may have a different perspectives for your questions.
    Currently, we suggest the use of the CIListener class as a FU4 listener for use when building your test SWF to run via the FU4 Ant task.  This class (http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flexunit/branches/4.x/FlexUnit4CIListener/src/o rg/flexunit/listeners/CIListener.as) uses the fscommand() function to send a message to its host environment to exit (i.e. - fscommand("quit")).  This command is only recognized by the Flash projector and stand-alone players, which are thin wrappers around the Flash Player so that it may be executed as its own process in the OS.  Based on the setup you are describing, the behavior you're seeing should be expected since the browser is the host environment for the Flash Player.  When the browser recieves the resulting message of the fscommand("quit") call nothing will happen since the browser doesn't support this command.  If you use the Flash projector or stand-alone players however, they will exit when recieving the results of this command.  The projector/stand-alone players come in two flavors, release and debug.  Release will act very closely to the typical plugin installed in the web browser (e.g. - swallows errors, no debug support, etc) whereas debug will allow you to write log files to the system, show error messages, etc.  Currently the debug stand-alones are available on Windows, Mac, Linux and the release stand-alone is only available on Linux.
    To address your questions:
    1.  If you've installed the Flash Player browser plugin, there is no way that I know of to launch the player as its own process.  I've only had success using the projector/stand-alone player (http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html).
    2.  The Flash Player does have the ability to send javascript to the browser to ask it to close the current window, but most modern browser will prompt the user to confirm they'd like to close the window if its the only open window.  Additionally, taking this approach on Mac, the browser process would remain active until an explicit call is made to the host OS to shut down the browser process.  The Ant task could be enhanced to use the browser to launch the Flash Player, but that is not currently on our checklist of features to support.  If it's something you'd be interested in contributing, let me know and I can work with you on this.
    3.  For the time being the FlexUnit4 Ant task only supports the stand-alone Flash Player (and adl soon), which for Windows only comes in the debug flavor. The only thing I've run into with the stand-alone player is that ExternalInterface reports that its enabled, but since the host environment is not the browser, javascript calls made via this class will fail, consequently causing tests to fail.  I haven't tried anything with shared objects or flashvars but my assumption is that they should work correctly, but anything that depends on the browser has the potential not to.
    As far as your testing management goes, I would discuss with them the problem context FlexUnit4 hopes to solve.  The framework is intended to produce unit and integration tests.  Functional testing is not withing the scope of the library.  Although, it's technically feasible to write integration tests which will exercise components similarly to a functional test, tools such as FlexMonkey, Selenium Flex, QTP, etc are much better geared towards this problem domain.  Test recording and playback, using these tools, is typically done using the FP browser plugin and is much easier to use by most QA and testing staff.  At the end of the day, as we're testing our code using FlexUnit at a smaller granularity than that of which the user interacts with in our application.  To reliably test the applicaiton as the user would interact with it requires additional tooling and a different type of testing.
    Like I said, just my take, maybe some of the other guys can help as well.

  • My Mac Mini won't get past the initial startup screen with the Apple logo. What can I do?

    After a long distance move, my Mac Mini won't startup past the logo screen. What can I do?

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.   
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
         a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
    b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, boot from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
    c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
    Step 3
    Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 4
    If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
    Step 5
    If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
    Step 6
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    Step 7
    If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 10. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
    If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 8
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
    Step 9
    If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.   
    Step 10
    Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 11
    Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 12
    This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
    Step 13
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

  • SWFobject does not work with the latest flash player update in IE

    So I get an installer show up this morning for the new flash

    SWFobject is not working in IE anymore. But it still works fine in
    everything else.
    What the hell is going on!?
