Youtube says flash player not installed

But now its position is rocked by some security concerns and safer alternative solutions. Google Chrome and Firefox contain the built-in version of Flash running in the sandboxed mode. This method is safer than running Flash as a plugin. It supports the same multimedia elements as Flash but without any security issues. However, the reality is that you still may need the Adobe Flash Player on your Mac. Many websites will not work if you uninstall it completely. Adobe is always trying to push its technology further and release the Flash updates to enhance the user experience and security.

However, attackers still find the ways to trick you into downloading adware and malware through the popups. Instead of downloading anything from a popup, follow simple steps to check whether you really need to update Adobe Flash on Mac. If an update is available, click Yes to update.

If no updates are available, you have the latest version of a Flash Player for Mac installed. Easy enough, right?

Make sure to invest some time and check if you do need to update Flash. Otherwise, downloading a false software package may harm your computer. The following works for mw: Firefox CheckMate -- thanks for the warning that the Active X Flash version must also be installed with Could you tell me how to find that?

Interesting opinion! I've been wondering about Adobe's partnership with Chrome myself and how it effects how hard they care to work on Firefox. That certainly could explain Adobe's very poor beta testing and blaming RealPlayer for the conflict Adobe caused and ONLY started apologizing and saying they were now coordinating with Mozilla Developers only later when they got so much criticism they had no choice.

And where was Firefox in all this? Following Adobe's moronic recommendation to disable RealPlayer instead of advising users as I was from the beginning, to roll back the defective update if you're having the viewing videos problem! I had a different problem with I'll start a new thread but I'll ask if anybody's seen this here.

The videos play fine, RealPlayer download button appears and works normally, but after simply pausing a video on YouTube, I lose the scrolling ability on that page.

Doesn't happen with other sites. Tried disabling Protected Mode - no difference. Reinstalling the driver and software for the Synaptics touchpad doesn't fix it.

There's no conflict with RealPlayer. Their engineers fixed all problems with Adobe and Firefox with and it was tested with the This happens with both FF Rolling back to the Anybody else getting this problem?

Hi CheckMate, this sounds similar to the problem of the plugin capturing all keyboard input after you use the pause button to adjust the volume. In the old days, simply clicking outside the player was sufficient to give Firefox back control of the keyboard, but this no longer seems to work in all cases.

However, it usually can be resolved by switching tabs or switching applications and then returning to the Youtube page that had the problem and clicking outside the player area.

Does that help with the scrolling problem? Hey All, I'm having the same problem with page not loading properly e. Since then I have uninstalled flash and reinstalled the older version Hi michaelk, what appears where you expect to see the video: blank space, black rectangle, error message? If you right-click it, does it show the menu for Flash Hey jscher, I have attached some screen captures to show you exactly what displays. If you would prefer a jing video I can do that also.

Hi jscher, Thanks for your explanation. I actually had tried those ideas although I only mentioned restarting Firefox. You're right, they reset it, but then it happens again the next time. Multiple retests confirms this. Could Jake afford the CD? Of course the money he spent at the concerts were much more than the price of one compact disc.

Why do Microsoft have to be so awkward!!! There are never any issues like this with other browsers such as Firefox which is 10 times better in my opinion. They should be fined for messing everyones computers up and wasting the time of web developers who have to fix these problems which are caused by their updates and browser!!! Unfortunately the masses will still use IE though as that Bill Gates was clever enough to corner the market and install his crappy operating system on every computer made grrrr!

It keeps teeling I have re-installed flash player 7. Worked for me. I tried to install flash from its site and nothing. I uninstalled flash with one of the links in this thread and then downloaded the link on top of this message and worked good!!!! Great fixatio. Thanks house. I have searched the net to find a solution to this problem for days with no luck. I happened across this site and I realized instantly that the people here know what they are talking about!!!
