How to Enable Flash Player on Mac

Enabling Flash on Safari

1. Install Adobe Flash Player from Adobe's website. Installing Adobe Flash Player on your Mac is needed because Flash is not built into Safari. Make sure you've installed the app before moving forward with this method.

2. Open Safari. It's the compass icon on the Dock, which is usually at the bottom of the screen.

3. Click the Safari menu. It's at the top of the screen to the right of the Apple menu.

4. Click Preferences. It's near the top of the menu.

5. Click the Websites tab. It's the tab with a globe icon at the top of the window.^[1]

6. Check the box next to "Adobe Flash Player." It's at the bottom of the left panel under "Plug-ins." This will enable Adobe Flash Player in your Safari Browser.

7. Select On from the 'When visiting other websites' menu. It's at the bottom-right corner of the window. This tells Adobe Flash Player to run whenever you visit different websites. This way you won't have to continuously approve Flash Player whenever you load a new page.

   1. If you don't want Flash to run automatically, select Ask instead. You'll be prompted to approve Flash any time a website tries to display it.
   2. Click the red circle at the top-left corner to exit Preferences when you are done.
