Safari and flash player quiting unexpectedly no flash viewing or sound other problems

[macattack600]

Recently i've been getting a message that the flash player is quiting unexpectedly I can't play anything sound or video from flash type like youtube or soundcloud. I've looked for extra plug ins and ad ons I'm not shure if there some there I can't find. I ran disk utility comes back (ie) permission verifications complete but what's odd is it used to say this "appears to be ok" I don't see any of the green or red lettering when it would go through process just "permission verifications complete" etc. I don't really have the time to try to hunt for the problem, can I reinstall snow leopard without losing files 10.6 does not have archive and install. Or any other thoughts appreciated I have not a external drive of any kind at moment so I can't back up. Thanks.

Try this step.

1. Go to Adobe Flash Player uninstaller and download an run it, after you quit all your browsers.

2. After the uninstall reboot.

3. Upon the reboot go to the Adbobe web page Get Flash Player and run it (after you quit all browsers).

4. Reopen your browser and pray this worked.

I did this exactly just right it did'nt work , then it worked for a min then I get the error box again now it's not working at all. Do you think a reinstall will help this ? The Mac is running a little slow or jammed up at times not like it used to be. I also have had the same message for safari and one time trying to install directly from the retail disc when trying from desktop. I just don't won't to do a fresh install and lose my files I don't have anything to back up right now 10.6 does'nt have archive and install. Thanks.

First open System Preferences->Flash pane, Advanced mini-button and delete all the Flash cookies. See if this helps.

So I guess that's it right? No more suggestions?

another suggestion:
Quit Safari
Go to your user/Library folder, then the Preferences folder. Delete the file: com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
Launch Safari.
try some site that offers Flash...

I just tried that no luck. Funny thing is If I boot the hard drive to another mac I don't get the message.

If your ONLY symptom is that flash sites cause your Safari to unexpectedly quit, then (with the great reliability of Flash these days) run the flash uninstaller, double-check that your flash installer is up-to-date, and install it again.

You could also try a typical flash site with Google Chrome (which has flash built in to the browser)
