Flash problems on Facebook using Safari

Hello Nasser

Do videos work on the main YouTube site?

By the way, plug ins are by definition extensions that are not built into the OS. They add support for functions.

Uninstall your current copy of Flash then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS

If that doesn't help, delete Flash cookies > Flush.app – Flash Cookie Removal Tool For OS X | MacHacks.TV

Deleting cookies from Safari > Preferences - Privacy is not the same as deleing Flash cookies.

I tried that and it didn't work. I'm having exactly the same problem, and reinstalling doesn't seem to help. Anyone else find a solution for this?

A month ago I started having problems with YouTube videos on Safari. My problem was not exactly the same as yours, so the solution I found, thanks for this forum, may not work; but this is what I did.

1) I reset Safari, deleting the cache and deleting all cookies. I exited Safari.

2) I deleted all Flash cookies, using the Flush utility mentioned by Carolyn. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be available anymore. Are there any other utilities available that can perform the same function? Here's a webpage that discusses how to delete flash cookies manually: http://osxdaily.com/2009/11/13/delete-flash-cookies/.

3) I rebooted the computer.

4) I uninstalled Flash player using the Flash uninstaller: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html.

5) I then installed the up-to-date Flash player.

6) I ran the Repair Disk Permissions in Disk Utility.

6) I re-booted the computer.

Suddenly I was able to watch YouTube videos again.

I suspect you have already done all of this, but it can't hurt to try it again. Good luck!

I have exactly the same problem - no solution for that yet?

Hello, I'm having the same problem in June 2014 as naseer had in 2012. I cannot watch embedded videos in Facebook on my IPad Air with iOS 7.1. Was any successful solution found to the problem?

Thanks in advance.

There is absolutely no doubt about it; Both Apple Developers following guidelines for power saving, google's beef that iOS8 uses Bing more than Google, the Problem Between Adobe and Apple with Fklash, and the worst of all, it seems than not only are Adobe m,aking it difficult for Apple's Safari to keep up with the times, but that even YOUTUBE declares some formats of video to be unplayable in Safari, and gives a notification that this browser is no longer supported. Safari is in truth right now, only half a browser, and is in danger of becoming something like the mozilla browser = defunct. I find this a shame becase i use safari in many of my websites with siri to speak and type my blogs, and it doesnt work in firefox or opera, only safari, as dfo keyboard vocabulary shortcus (for example if i write l+l+k it will rewrite it to "Lek Lai Kaya Siddhi Elemental Substance", saving me hours of typing with my shorthand keyboard spelling correction tricks)

Safari Developers and Apple have to forget trying to power save to make iPad look more powerful, and try to put more power into Safari and iOS, instead of use less power, Make more Power!

Safari is teetering on the edge of extinction due to the fact it is unusable in many major domains such as FB or Youtube. Flash driven websites also cause keyboard deactivation when timeouts occur.

Same problem here on Yosemite 10.10.2 and Safari 8.0.3

while working on Firefox

for safari i found this solution here helpful

http://9to5mac.com/2011/08/15/html5-ify-flash-player-in-os-x-lion-with-this-ligh tweight-safari-extension/

and this for safari and Facebook (needs the html5-plugin above)

http://hoyois.github.com/safariextensions/clicktoplugin/

for firefox:

i use lion and an old version of firefox /(3.6) with flash 11.1.102.64 - that works like a charm.

keep a newer version of firefox on the computer in case i need it (for online banking or ebay).

hope this can help someone.
