Hello,
After a Mac update, flash player (along with silverlight) asked to be installed when I tried to watch video content or play games. I installed flash player and it reports being successful and appears in my applications. However, I cannot watch videos or play games, every time I am asked to install flash player again and again and again. I suspect this has something to do with plugins but I am not sure. I have un-installed the program and reinstalled but it still will not work. I check my security settings and it does allow plugins. I erased my temporary internet files. I don't know what else to do. Any help would be appreciated! This is incredibly frustrating. Thank you
In Safari, go to Preferences > Security
Make sure both Allow JavaScript and Allow Plugins are checked
Click Manage Websites
On the left, choose Adobe Flash Player, then make sure that Always Allow is selected.
Hopefully that helps. While you're in here, do you see anything like AdBlock Pro, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, ScriptBlock, NoScript, etc in the list on the left?

To give you any useful advice, I'm going to need to know more about your computer and browser:

Also, do you have any ad-blockers or anti-tracking plugins installed?

Thank you for responding! I am using a macbook pro 2011, 2.2ghz, intel
core i7, 16gb - version 10.9.5. I have not intentionally installed any ad
blocking software; intact I am inundated with it most times. My online
school work required that I disable pop up blockers and all was well until
an update a few weeks ago for both security and operating system. To the
best of my knowledge I am allowing pop ups and plugins but this may be
where the trouble is. I am unsure, honestly of what security is running
besides what I find in the system preference/security tab. Thank you again
for responding and any help is most appreciated.

Jeromie,
That was it! I can’t believe it was that easy. I had not gone into manage websites and selected the program. Thank you again for the help. did not see any of the other website listed below, just flasher player, reader, and silverlight. Thanks again!
