I've done a pretty thorough search of the forums (at least I think I have) and I see that it's fairly well known that flash has some issues with Macs. Or at least Safari apparently.
The problem I'm having with it is that it's crashing my computer too. If I have the most recent version of Flash installed and I hit a flash media heavy site the chances are pretty good that my computer will freeze up.
Not just my browser (I use Flock... but I get the same thing when I use Firefox or Safari), but my entire system. My computer is completely unresponsive leaving me no alternative but to reboot.
Which I hate doing.
Sometimes I'll get graphic hiccup and then my mac will show me the nice grey "Please restart your Mac" overlay.
Which I hate.
When I uninstall Flash I have no problems. No crashes, but then again no flash when surfing the net.
So far I've seen discussions about various versions... usually in the form of rXXX. I have no idea what this means, and the adobe site just presents the most recent flash player as 9.0.124.0 .
Oh, computer specs are in my sig, and as far as crash logs I've not been able to find any. Computer usually locks up and goes boom, preventing any crash logs from being created, at least that's what I think is happening. I might be looking in the wrong place.
Any ideas suggestions?
I've repaired permissions before and after installing any Flash player, but still the system freezes occur.
Thanks in advance.
