I just bought and is a new user of macbook pro and tried downloading adobe flash player and it worked but i can watch only certain videos on youtube when i click on the rest it said i need to download flash player 10. Is there something that i did wrong?

Please help me figure this out. I got frustrated after downloading it so many times that i download google chrome and i can play all youtube videos. What is it that I did not do for it to work on all videos on safari?

Also, what do I need to download to be able to watch any videos on other sites like movies and tv shows.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Version 10.xxxx is an older version of Flash Player and not supported by the latest version of Safari. Go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and get the latest version and install it. Then you should be able to view videos that use Flash player.

Yes, you need the latest version of Flash to work with Mavericks and Safari 7.x. I'm not sure why you can't view some of the videos on YouTube but not all and I don't know which, YouTube or Safari, is suggesting a 10.xxxx version.

Can you copy and paste the specific URL of a video that you're having problems viewing? Then I could take a look on my end and see if I notice anything funny.

Yes, if your installation went smoothly, you should be able to view all of them.

I had no trouble viewing the video that you provided... when you next visit that site, hold down the control key while pressing on the trackpad over the video and see if you see any Flash information.

Good luck...
