I have a mac book air. Adobe flash is installed and up to date but says disabled. I tried to do everything the tech note said to help enable this but nothing wroked. When I try to allow google chrome (up to date as well) to use the flash player nothing changes. It just says, plugin blocked even when I try to add the site to the things are allowed to use flash nothing will add to the list.  Suggestions?

    Hi,

    Please see Enable Flash Player for Google Chrome

    The Google support document Adobe Flash isn't working - Chrome Help  also contains this, and more information on troubleshooting Flash in Chrome, and is kept updated by Google.

    Also, Please try the following:

    • launch chrome
    • navigate to chrome://flags/#prefer-html-over-flash
    • The flag is most likely set to Default
    • change the flag to Disabled
    • relaunch Chrome
    • Does Flash content display now?

    For google Chrome you may access the Flash Player Global Settings using link: Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Global Security Settings panel. You can also get this link when you right-click any flash content and choose "Global Settings" from the context menu. Then follow below steps to add any location to trusted locations for Chrome.

    • On the page opened select "Global Security Settings panel" from the left panel.
    • To add any file/folder click on Edit location -> Add location
    • Paste the path to the file/folder in the input box below "Trust this location:"
    • To delete any location select that location from the menu and choose "delete location" and then confirm

    Thanks!
