Just as the tittle says. I upgraded flash and all that jazz and nothing....What could I not be doing to fix this? Any help is great thanks.
iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2010)
1. Is it enabled?
Safari > Preferences > Security
Web content:
Is the box next to "Enable plug-ins" checked?
2. Adobe Flash installed?
You have to install it.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Quit Safari.
Restart
If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 4.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
2. Triple-click the line below to select it:
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
3. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
5. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
6. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Well fellas, I tried everything and still have the issue. I even shut down my cmoputer and turned it back on after doing everything mentioned. I don't get it. This happened out of nowhere.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Help ▹ Installed Plug-ins
Besides the following, what plugins are listed?
shockwave flash and ilok client (the client i have had since day one)
What version of Flash?
Shockwave Flash 10.3 r181
That's way out of date. Please follow the instructions above to install the current version.
I did though a million times. I do not understand why Its not updating ill try again
Still says its 10.3 and I just installed it for the 2345346 time. I don't understand whats going on? Could be a virus? If uninstall and reinstall Safari would that work?
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have “Flash” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then try to install Flash.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
WOOOOOOORKED !!!! lmao you are the MAN!!!!! Thanks a lot dude honestly.
DOWNLOAD EMERGENCY FLASH FIX. That is what I have just read in a magazine I subscribe to. Apparently it's for a serious flaw in Flash software. It applies to many platforms but the one that effects me is Mac using Safari. It goes on to say that criminals have been exploiting the flaw to infect computers with malware so we should download a patch at www.snipca.com/15133. I'm sorry to post this where perhaps it doesn't belong but I can't open the snipca - not unusual but wouldn't blindly action it even if I could as I lack experience. Even if this is an over-reaction it seems no bad thing to air it and hope you agree. From what I read there is no doubt about your considerable experience.

Why is Safari blocking flash plugins and how do i fix this?
