Q: how can I fix unblocked plug-ins

I updated my Flash Player a week ago; since doing this I am unable to play any of my games on FB because of Blocked Plug-ins. I have followed the instructions to fix this and the instructions were of no help. Any advice you can give me would be most appreciated.

    You posted to a 7 year old operating system forum, incapable of running the latest Java.    That may have something to do with it.    If you are indeed running Mac OS X 10.5 something, which Tenfourfox may optimize some internet browsing, a newer operating system may benefit you on certain parts of Facebook and Youtube.  Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to tell us your operating system.

    Thank you so much for your reply; my operating system is version 10.6.8. I have had this Mac since 2008 so it may be time for a new Mac. Thank you again for trying to fix my problem of Blocked plug-ins.

    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html

     

    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):

    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. It is highly recommended that you carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

     

    After installing, 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. More advice here:
