No FLASH in Safari 3 (10.4.11 PPC)

Question

No FLASH in Safari 3 (10.4.11 PPC)

Every site that shows flash video says I need to install Flash 9 to view it. I installed it and it doesn't work. I had this problem when Safari 3 was in beta and just uninstalled it and used Safari 2 with no trouble. Anybody got a fix for this?

Powerbook G4, Mac OS X (10.4)

Same here: I did an uninstall of flash, then I reinstalled it. It worked fine until i quit Safari. The next time I started Safari, it wouldn't display flash-content, showing the missing-plug-in-icon instead.

Have been having the same problem - whenever flash player is needed, a Q with ? appears. Tried what you did. Today after installing the new system update, problem still existed. Again I uninstalled and then installed the Flash Player 9 update. Nothing changed. still get that Q? window whenever flash player is needed. VERY FRUSTRATING.

Fixed it! I deleted all references to Flash in the Internet Plugins folder in the Library. Then I reinstalled Flash. Resolved. I closed Safari and reopened and it works.

Well, I wasn't having the exact same problem you were having. I would try reinstalling Quicktime.

I took a chance and installed Flash Player 8 instead of version 9 - and quess what? Everything works fine now! Isn't that strange? Something's not keeping up with the Joneses.

I am having the same problem on both Safari and FireFox. After the 10.4.11 upgrade, I think it was still working on my Firefox, but then I came across a site that asked me to upgrade of Flash 9. So I downloaded Flash from Adobe, the installation went through without errors, but now both browsers have no flash.

This is very annoying. Not sure what to do fix this.

Okay, the Quicktime-Security-Update from today seems to have fixed this issue (at least for me).
