Why does Safari say "Blocked Plug-in" when I want a video?

Safari will block the Flash player plug-in when it is out of date.

Download a newer version from Adobe. Quit Safari and install it and then relaunch Safari.

When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.

If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced

click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
