Kathy deWitt Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hi folks, After many years of no problems with uploading online with the normal uploader, today for some reason I couldn't upload using Chrome. Why would this happen? I upgraded Flash Player to 17 when no button showed to progress to the upload page but still no luck. I then managed to upload via Safari which was a relief. Is this a Chrome bug or something? Has it happened to anyone else, ever? With thanks, Kathy de Witt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoDogue Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Chrome has Flash built in so upgrading to the latest version shouldn't make a difference with this browser. I've noticed a number of bugs using V 41.0.2272.118 which Google reports to be the latest version for Mac. While I haven't experienced any issues in uploading, quitting and restarting Chrome usually resolves other issues like Copy and Paste. fD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy deWitt Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks for your reply fotoDogue! I looked and my version is Version 42.0.2311.90 and it says it is up-to-date. Maybe it is different in Britain? I will have to spend some time working this one out. Especially since I don't understand any of it! I have installed an updated Flash Player but when I go back and try and watch or do anything is still says I need to upload Flash Player so it just isn't installing for some reason. I have resorted to Firefox for the moment which seems to be ok. Ho hum. Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy deWitt Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Sorted this out now...........https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/enabling-flash-player-chrome.html Things like this might seem simple to some, but, if you haven't encountered it before.... largely thanks to you fD, leading me in a promising direction, so thanks again!

John Walker Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Had the same problem with Chrome today. Flash had been disabled without intervention from me. The link Kathy has posted above shows how to Enable Flash in Chrome. I had to re-start Chrome for it to take effect. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy deWitt Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hi John, Thanks for letting me know this. I did in fact restart it, also restarted the computer but it didn't work. I must have tried installing the Flash Player half a dozen times. Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it could've updated in the background or while I was away from the computer. That might explain some of the eratic behavior I've been experiencing. fD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy deWitt Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 Yes, something obviously happened yesterday. I'm glad it wasn't the other multitude of possibilities I was entertaining and great that it's all working properly now. Thanks for keeping an eye on this!

Kathy deWitt Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 It seems that this ability to enable the plug in on Google will be removed in September 2015 and advice is to move to another browser before then, annoyingly. K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you are saying here now........restart after enabling. My reply refers to me simply trying to download the flash player then restarting.
