Safari Plug-In Failure after upgrading Flash Player

Thanks! It probably would have, but in the meantime I discovered how to get to the right TM location.

The Flash uninstaller does not do a good job, Weeks after ridding my Mac of Flash there were still some files leftover I found at the root level like fpsaud and flash player logs. I will never install Flash Player on my Mac again!

Thanks, akialoa! That worked for me perfectly. Adobe Flash 13 failed to install the update on my late 2006 Mac Pro, and now it's working again.

I reinstalled 12.0.0.77 and it "appeared" to fix my flash player issues. Most video plays normally, and "About Flash" correctly identifies at v. 12.0.0.77, but there an issue were "some" YouTube video refuses to play, giving the message in the video "An error occurred, please try again later." This error isn't for all YouTube video, only some. It doesn't appear to be the YouTube site, there's no reports of impaired status. When video's that give this error message in Safari or Firefox are played with Chrome they play fine, so Chrome works using its own "Pepper based" Flash Player plugin, but Safari & Firefox are impaired with the reinstalled 12.0.0.77.

My cynical mind wonders if this isn't some sort of ploy, the Adobe Flash Player installer once had a tie-in installation of Chrome, so Adobe & Google cooperate. If Flash Player were impaired in Safari & Firefox, many users might migrate to Chrome.

There are no messages in my Console logs. Here's a YouTube.com video that gives the error message in Safari & Firefox but not Chrome: /watch?v=vAcaeLmybCY

Can anyone running OSX 10.8 or 10.9 please send a crash log and your mac model number to ccampbel@adobe.com? Adobe is investigating this problem but needs more info.

Mine goofed too. I've tried many things including uninstalling and reinstalling. I'll see if Adobe lets me download the older version and go back to that.

I don't see version 12 available on Adobe's site. Just 11 and 13.

I have some additional info from a helpful Adobe peep:

1. Download and run our uninstaller:http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash _player_osx.dmg

2. Download and run the version 12 installer from:http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_f lash_player_12_osx.dmg

We hope to have this resolved soon and I'll tweet about it (@liquidate) and post on the adobe forums (http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer) once a fix is available. Sorry for the hassle!

Yay!

Thank you Cruella, that did work for me.

Thank you.

Read my previous post, I provided an Adobe link to all of the previous Adobe versions:

Thanks Lanny

Thank you so much 🙂

This is what fixed mine after trying 6 removals and installs and the system/prefrence tweaks. Thanks Cruella!!!

PowerBook Pro 2.4GHz, 10.6.8

Thank you

thanks! seems to have fixed it for me. wonder if its a sys spec issue. v13 seems to require better specs than my late 2007 macbook has to offer.
