In this video, I describe how you can work around the Flash Player / 10.7 settings bug by using Flash Player's native control panel. This should help you solve every issue except for disabling hardware acceleration. We working hard to get this bug fixed asap.
Thanks,

Thank you Chris.
But it still doesn't work if I use the Private Browsing...

This should help me to solve every issue? How do I switch to another camera if i have more than one cam connected (internal / external)? This is not configurable using the global settings (preferences) - or is it?
This is a 10.7 problem only? I had it on 10.6 also with flash 10.3 - and others too - just google it...
Thanks for your help...

Tried using your suggestions to help me with my "Local Storage" bug...However, after pressing the apple, selecting System Preferences...the Storage settings was already selected as "Allow" and did not require me to change it. When I selected "Local Storage Settings by Site..." all the sites were set to "Allow" and yet the settings bug still remains on the screen...
Please see my post javascript:;
for the screenshot...

Same problem here. The workaround doesn't work for Local Storage. Any information on when a fix may be available for this? Thanks.

We anticipate releasing a new version of Flash Player early next week. If everything goes to plan this should be on Tuesday, August 9th. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, I understand how frustrating this bug can be (I've got two Lion systems with the current version of Flash Player installed.)
Thanks,
Chris

The issue has been resolved with 10.3.183.5. I was able to Allow/Deny Local Storage requests. Thanks.

Hi,
I have Adobe Flash version 10.3.183.7 installed on my Mac, I am using 10.7.1. I have been working in Shutterfly, creating a photo book, and I keep getting a similar message to the one shown in Chris's video. The dialog box is asking to use more storage space - it lists "Requested - Up to 1 MB, Currently Used - 1 KB". I am not able to click on any of the buttons on the dialog box and my shutterfly page freezes up. I have tried this using Safari, Firefox, and Google Chrome and I get the same message. I also tried opening the shutterfly book on a different mac computer which is running 10.6.8.
Per your video I have updated the systems preferences (storage, camera & mic, and playback) to allow the website listed in the dialog box (cdn.staticsfly.com), however the box still keeps popping up.
Are there any other workarounds so I can use the Shutterfly web page?
Thank you!

Is this also occuring with 10.6.8? From what I understand, this issue is specific to Lion and iMac (versions 7,1 and 8,1) with ATI Radeon HD2600 video cards. Can you check to see if your system model is one of those? I'm asking around to see if anyone knows of a workaround for these systems and will let you know what I find.

Hi,
I also have a MAC with Lion and a ATI Radeon HD 2600.. and I have been having the same problem for a few weeks, I have tried uninstalling then reinstalling Flashplayer and Google Chrome, and Firefox several times to no avail. One cannot delete and reload Safari, Someone suggested empyting cache etc - but this does not work at all.
In my Local Storage Settings the website is shown as "allow" - and I have deleted all several times and then put them back.
It is getting most annoying,,,is there a fix for this - can one use an older version of Flash ?
i have tried to find "global settings" having looked in all the FAQ's etc but do not seem to be able to get anything in a window except - storage / Camera and Mic/Playback/ Advanced. This only seems to allow you to go into "local storage settings by site" which I have done and it shows the website !
I have version 10.3.183.7 of Flash.
thanks very much,

I'm working on getting some steps together that should allow you to work around this. I'll post back shortly.

Hi Chris,
My imac 10.7.1 does use the ATI Radeon HD2600 video card.
The dialog box also is coming up on the Macbook 10.6.8 (this uses the ATI Radeon X1600).
Thanks for looking into some steps for a work around - that would be great!

Thank for your patience. Here's some steps that should help:
Settings UI - Display Tab
You should be able to modify the hardware acceleration option when Flash Player is in full screen mode. Try the following steps:
Settings UI - Privacy Tab
Settings on this Tab can be worked around by using the Flash Player native control panel's Camera and Microphone tabs. See this video for more details.
Settings UI - Local Storage Tab
Most settings on this tab can be worked around by setting them in Flash Player's native control panel's Storage tab, except for setting the local storage limit. One common case you may encounter is the "Local Storage" pop-up window that will appear if a website is requesting to store information on your computer.
Unfortunately, due to the current bug that effects some iMacs you're unable to click the Allow or Deny buttons. To temporarily avoid this pop-up window, we can do the following steps in Flash Player's native control panel (NCP)
To change local storage settings by site do the following steps in the NCP:
To change the local storage limit we can use the Website Storage Settings panel.
Settings UI – Microphone
You should be able to modify the microphone options when Flash Player is in full screen mode. Here’s an example using Google Talk (you should be able to do this with any full screen Flash content).
Settings UI – Camera
You should be able to modify the camera options when Flash Player is in full screen mode. Here’s an example using Google Talk (you should be able to do this with any full screen Flash content).

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I think it was changing the storage limit in the Website storage settings panel - that allowed me to move the arrow to unlimited storage and I have not received the error message again since. I had already done several of the other steps you listed but I think that one did the trick for the project I was working on.

Chris,
While the notes were very helpful in allowing me to change the Flash settings, I still have an issue.
Although I have turned Hardware Acceleration On and Off playback in full screen is still very jerky and poor, in fact it is really useless.
I too have the iMac with the ATI Radeon HD2600 video card in it.
Before Lion this worked perfectly well with Flash, but now it does not.
Is this a Flash issue or a Lion issue?
Will this ever be addressed by Adobe or Apple?
Thanks,
Ian

I would just like to note that the problem with unclickable settings persists, and I am using flash plug-in version 11.1.102.55
Going to full screen is not always possible with many chat sites, so the full screen "fix" won't work.
I too am using OSX Lion but had the problem with Leopard before I upgraded.

Apologies for digging up an old thread but this is an intermittent issue I have had for the past 2 years or so (and so can't simply be a 10.7 issue).
Mac OS X 10.4.11
Flash 10,3,183,10
Firefox 3.6.23
RadeonX1600
I've found myself here after running into the issue again while playing this game http://www.physicsgames.net/game/Cut_and_Kill_Halloween.html . The Local Storage Settings pops-up after completing level 2 - which I cannot click. Also if I right click on a youtube video and select Settings, I also cannot click that.
In my attempts to find a solution in the past I have found other forums where it has been suggested that the issue is caused by folder permissions... and indeed when I performed "Repair Disk Permissions" just now in Disk Utility it found/fixed these:
Permissions differ on ./Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/MacOS/Flash Player, should be -rwxrwxr-x , they are -rw-rw-r--
Owner and group corrected on ./Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/MacOS/Flash Player
Permissions corrected on ./Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/MacOS/Flash Player
...although unfortunately it hasn't fixed the issue.
Interestingly though, if I right click and sellect Settings on the embedded flash thing here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ I CAN click and control it as intended.

Why has this still not been fixed? This was reported over SEVEN months ago.
Also, your work around does not work when it comes to Peer Assisted Networking. Even when manually entered into the "Local Storage Settings by Site" any site which requires P.A.N. still pops up the settings box and is therefore unusable.
Can we at least get an ETA for when this will be fixed and we can go back to using sites that we need? Also, one of the sites i need to use is Scene7. Shooting yourself in the foot there.
Using version 11.1.102.55.

Hi Dan,
We haven't forgotten about this bug. We're still working with Apple to get this resolved and I'll make sure to post here once the fix is available.
I'll also look into any workaround that might be able to help with with peer assisted networking.

Chris, I appreciate your persistence and optimism (really), but this is crazy. I guess there is no love lost between Adobe and Apple, but this is a really important issue for millions of users. When is this really going to be fixed? Does your management care about this? Seems they're just leaving you hanging! Thanks.

I know that I must sound like a broken record, but this really hasn't fallen off our radar. As for management caring, one of our engineering director's personal system is effected by this issue.
