FLASH PLAYER MISSING PLUGIN PLEASE HELP!!

Since the Last Safari Update,I've been constantly getting a missing plugin message whenever FlashPlayer was required.

I have tried uninstaling/installing FlashPlayer from the adobe website. But still always asked to download the latest version.And later did disk permission repair/check, nothing worked. I even disabled som of the plugins i had read in the discussion that might cause some problems such as the java cocoa plugin, but flash player's plugin is still missing.

PLEASE HELP!

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Maybe you can access it through the plugin check page?

Thanks for your reply Ronda, I tried that link, and it gave me indications for quicktime, and shockwave plugins, but not flashplayer!

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Then that would indicate that you have NO Shockwave Flash installed.

You can get it here:

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Maybe this time it will install for you. If it won't work installing it through Safari, try download and installing it through another browser (such as Firefox).

Latest version of Flash is 10.3.181.26

It installs in Macintosh HD/Library/Internet plug-ins and is available to all browsers.

Make sure you're getting the right one; there is one for Firefox, Safari and Opera and a seperate one for Chrome.

Best to install with all browsers closed (note - you have to open and authorise the installer - it doesn't install automatically on download).

If a browser's open, quit and reopen it to enable the plug-in.

Be wary of error messages claiming you don't have the right plug-in. Don't follow links from them, they're often used to redirect you to malware sites.

And ensure JavaScript is enabled when trying to view Flash; it won't work without it.
