Some users have problems playing back Flash content after the update.

MacFixIt reader Michael writes:

"Since installing the latest security update, Safari will no longer play YouTube video, although I have no such problem with Camino. Nor do I have an explanation."

You may want to try uninstalling Flash (using this uninstaller) then re-installing it (Intel or PowerPC). Another potential fix involves navigating to the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins directory then removing the following file

  • Flash Player Enabler.plugin

For more fixes, see our tutorial "Flash content will not play in Web browsers, resolving."

    This suggestion to "Next, click on the "MIME Settings" button and scroll down to "Miscellaneous -- Miscellaneous file formats" and click the box to turn the option on. Next click on the disclosure triangle to show the options for miscellaneous file formats. Make sure that the "Flash media" and "QuickTime HTML (QHTM)" are turned on."

    Did not work for me. Unchecking and reinstalling Flash player did the trick.
