Karl Zuk · Answer

Go to the 'Safari' pulldown (upper left corner) and hit 'reset Safari.' It's that simple, if you have learned how!

Oliver L. · Answer

It works on Safari for me but does anyone have any tricks for Firefox? (my main browser)

I don't want to install version 9, though, just because I'm stubborn.

hey I have a problem to.. every time I download java it says it has encountered a problem putting it on and some times even though it says that it still works but I every time I upen up my browser I have to download java like 10 times for it to finally work so I can watch youtube and stuff. And about the flash player it says I cant download it because I have a 64 bit browser and I need a 32 bit browser. anyway does anyone know whats wrong with that stuff because that stupid java is really annoying I have to download it every time I open my browser just to watch youtube n stuff.

I had the SAME PROBLEM!! I TRIED EVERYTHING TO FIX IT....THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED!

I checked many times to make sure all my "settings" were right....they were. 
Then, 
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both java and all adobe software TWICE....I even disabled my internet security in case it was some ad-blocker problem...still, it would not work.



THIS WORKED...and although you probably think you already did this, TRY THESE LINKS....THEY HELPED ME.

The first one to go to to unisntall JUST THE FLASH PLAYER ONLY is:

https://www.adobe.com/?id=tn_14157


Then you have to reinstall the FLASH PLAYER by going to:

https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

This really did work. I was pleasantly surprised after spending an entire afternoon trying to find out why I couldn't play flash videos although my java was turned on and I had all the latest updates. Hope this helps you, too!!!

I don't know much about computers but I know I just bought this new laptop and I can't IM through my yahoo mail or watch you tube because it says I need to download the latest version of adobe but I can't because I have a 64 bit something or other.  Well adobe is about to come out with one that is compatible for us.  Until then, I am pissed off.

DP · Answer

This may be a Vista security issue. Whenever you open Internet Explorer right click on IE icon, then right click on 'run as adminstrator'. This solved the issue for me after hours of trying all the other possible solutions.

Still fails.

stunney · Answer

After two weeks of mounting frustration and despair, I found baykal's simple solution worked like a treat.  

Mozilla and Adobe and Java and Youtube really ought to be broadcasting this from the rooftops:

Click start

Click run

Paste in C:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash

Click to run FlashUtil10b or FlashUtil9b or both (one after the other like me ), and then...

Re-boot.

KALIBER... FROM FIXYA.COM · Answer

CLICK.....START

CLICK........ MY COMPUTER

COPY/PASTE THIS LINK IN THE URL FIELD BOX.... WHERE IT SAYS "MY COMPUTER"

                 C:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash 

THIS LINK WILL TAKE YOU TO FILE LOCATION, ALREADY ON YOUR COMPUTER...

CLICK ON THE EXE. NOT THE UNINSTALLER...... BOTH ARE RED BOXES WITH F LABEL

IT WILL LOAD IT AGAIN.... RESTART COMP IF YOU WANT( WRITES IT TO MEMORY) IF YOU DO...

                                                                                                                                  HAPPY VIEWING

Francis · Answer

I signed in to give a heads up on this issue. I tried all the solutions posted here and none worked for me. I came across a very simple solution on one on the sites and it worked immediately.
Please follow the steps to check the add-ons
1. Go to TOOLS on Internet Explorer.
2. MANAGE ADD-ONS
3. Under Adobe System Incorprated, check the status of "Shockwave Flash Object"
4. If disabled, click on it and enable it and Voila!

YIDFever · Answer

Ive been having this problem for ages and randomly came accross this fix for me which worked perfectly and I hope it works for anyone else having this problem as its been a thorn in my side for ages!!!

Go onto any Youtube vidoe page where you get the 'hello, either you have javascript turned off or an old version of adobe's flash player. get the latest flash player.' message. 
On the right side of your toolbar there is an drop down called 'Page', click on this and select 'Compatability View'

Then it started working immediately.

Hope this works for others too!
