I recently downloaded the latest version of Flash Player and the plugin seems to keep crashing on all the major browsers including Safari. I am using a Mac Pro Generation 3.1 with OSX Lion. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin and it still keeps crashing. Any information on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.7)
Hi..
I recently downloaded the latest version of Flash Player and the plugin seems to keep crashing on all the major browsers including Safari.
If Safari is crashing, then I doubt my suggestions at the link that Neville posted will help.
Post a Safari crash report. It may be another third party plugin installed that's not compatible with Flash that's causing all your browsers to crash.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.
Do not post links to my solved topics. 😠
Unusual request - will try and remember !
No, it's not unusual at all.
Some users report that the problem goes away after second or third reboot - easy to try !
Thank you all for the feedback and help. I managed to find what was causing the Flash crash. My NVIDIA Graphics card needed a driver update. That seemed to do the trick. Videos are now playing again and the plugin doesn't crash.
🙂
Well done - thanks for helpful feedback.
If you want to pass along great solutions to situations that seem the same, the polite was to do it would be to post something like this:
"Please see Carolyn's solution in this thread . . ." and then give the link.
However, it's best if you already know the answer yourself, if you're going to post, rather than use other people's time and efforts It really does seem to be a desperate effort to gain a higher reputation level for yourself through the work of other people here.

I think Carolyn would prefer that we don't do that so I will try to remember her preference.
I agree. I was trying to explain the etiquette here in general terms.
Flash Plugin will not work with Safari, Firefox, Chrome or Opera
