How can I uninstall adobe flash player?
Posted: Oct 30, 2008 5:02 PM
 

I was required to install it when I was going to upload something on metacafe but now that I have I can't do a lot of other flash things because of it and there is like no way to get rid of it, so how can I get rid of it because the other sites I use are really important to me and now I can't use them.

I don't understand your question. What is it you wish to do? There are standalone flashplayers, and internet plugin players, one for each browser. What sites can't you use because of FlashPlayer?

http://www.megaupload.com when I use the multiuploader, the send button is gone and when I use any other computer, the button is there, and certain javascript doesn't work either.

It's impossible to say for certain without actually seeing the page you're talking about, but that's probably because they don't test their site in Safari or claim to support it in any way.

Rigth next to I agree to these terms should be a send button but on my computer it isn't there but on any other it is there.

And I did try contacting megaupload support and they just ignore me.

The send button's on my screen. I'm running Flash Player 10.0.12.36. There's something else going on. All I can suggest is to delete Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt from /Library/Internet Plug-ins, reinstall the latest version, launch Disk Utility, repair permissions, and restart.

You have to uninstall FlashPlayer to update it from a download rather than using the auto-updater.

The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:

http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash

(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.

Note that Adobe requires you to uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):

http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157

and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

Ok I tried doing that by uninstalling it and reinstalling it, and it didn'nt work for some reason the send button is still not there.

could it be some other plugin that may be doing this?

Somehow when I upgraded to this version this problem happened. Before Metacafe told me to update it was just fine, so should I try uninstalling it and reinstalling an older version?

Did you repair permissions and restart your computer after reinstalling?

I only see the send button after I click on the browse button to select the file I want to upload. Once that is done, the send button appears.

You might try a few different browsers.
I had the same problem with the "Photobucket" website, and found that the Camino browser works well on it.

Yes I did I uninstalled, reinstalled, did the permissions, then restarted the computer and nothing new happened.

And I tested that 2nd statement and it didn't work for me.

I've tried doing it on Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Camino, and I even tried doing it from realplayer. It still isn't showing up.

Should I try one of the ideas I said above? Do you think it could help solve the issue?
