OSX 10.6.8 Safari: Flash not working, did clean reinstall & but still not working

[Guest]

OSX 10.6.8 Safari: Flash stopped working (couldn't access Spotify or videos), did clean reinstall & installed newest Flash Player, but still not working and still getting messages to "get flash"

Are you sure you did the full clean install?

Here are step-by-step instructions for 10.6.8: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf

Followed the step-by-step pdf; but still not working. Tried the manual install, but clicking on the installer does show "Show Package Contents." Searched the contents and resources files, but could not find "Adobe Flash Player.pkg."

Right click or Ctrl+Click

and it's right there

IF   (BIG if...)

You're using the FULL installer and NOT the "stub installer".

Flash Player 12.0.0.44 (MAc OS X)

Mike, appreciate your help, but...Did "succesful" manual reinstall, but still the same thing with sites saying I need Flash Play.....

Was your browser open when you ran the Cocoa installer?

If so, it probably didn't replace the plug-in files. Quit the browser completely and then run it.

Mike: Just in case, ran through through Cocoa installer again with browser closed and quit; again "successful" install, but still not working.

Hi,

What does 'still not working' mean?  What happens when you attempt to view Flash content?

Thank you in advance.

Maria: Thanks; when I try to log-in to Spotify, I get the message: "To enjoy Spotify, please install Adobe Flash" (same message I got yesterday when this started); when I try to view videos on Surfline.com (a daily ritual), the videos don't start when clicked; and trying to view some You-tube videos, I get: "The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playbook." All were working normally until yesterday (and I can't think of anything I did that might have triggered it). Thanks again. dewey
