Using a MacBookPro2,2 (Core2Duo 2.33 GHz. 3 GB Ram, Lion MacOS). Not a good experience with this Beta: Flash is choppy and slows down the whole machine to the point where it isn't usable. Back to the stable release for me.

• Its Flash, what's there to run web-based Flash content besides the Flash plug-in? If I can't get the industry to leave the standard should I make one-star posts about Flash on MacUpdate?

• I use the beta builds, such as this one, to KNOWINGLY test while keeping the latest, stable build installer for such times that I feel the beta's not ready for full time use

• I'm not worried about CPU cycles. I simply don't notice slowdown, I'm not folding virtual proteins or rendering ray-traced scenes in the background. 1080p/h.264 video content via YouTube plays without hiccup and smoother than WebM format, unfortunately.

• Interactivity hasn't been a problem in awhile. An earlier beta somehow wouldn't recognize mouse click actions (ie; via YouTube), but that's been fixed.

100% bug won't matter to most users who don't play long enough videos. But even on the highest end mac pro, if you watch a 1-2 hour web video in flash format. you WILL notice frame skipping and stuttering toward end cause it leaks as it goes along, longer a single flash frame is open more cpu it uses so by end of movie i assure you, it's running like utter crap. Often somewhere half way i close and reopen page then skip to timecode i left off to dump off the excess cpu usage and remove stutter for a bit. My guess is the issue resolves somewhere in the memory management. trying to keep a lot of data in the buffer at once is something flash can't do very well.

It's a shame I had to give it one star, it's one star more than it deserves. The description say that it's 'lightweight', possibly it is if you compare it to Jupiter.

Flash is a joke and the sooner it gets killed off, the better.

Total crap. Using 2011 Mac Mini with 8GB memory, dedicated video card and 802.11n Wide WiFi on Cable Modem. Video is so damn choppy, reminds me of my G4. This is why I got rid of the G4, and video was fine until 11.1 and higher. What gives adobe? I should be having absolutely NO problems with the specs on this machine. Oh, and by the way, video runs clean as silk on Acer laptop with only 4GB and no dedicated video card on same connection. Another piece of crap for Apple products from the folks at Adobe. You DO know that Apple is one of the LARGEST companies in the world, don't you? Don't you think it is time that your products play nice on Apple products also? Tired of this crap!

I've got a base mid-2011 Mac Mini with 8GB of RAM, with 512MB of that for the built-in Intel HD graphics, and I'm not having any problems. As Davidravenmoon said, you should stop downloading the beta releases and just stick with the stable build.

I think it's important that folks like Macguruguy try crap like this and report. If everyone ignored the betas and only reported on the so-called "stable" releases, we'd all assume Adobe had a clue and gave a rat's posterior for Apple Users.

All of the Designers, Artists and Musicians I know use Macs... if that's true across the board, it seems odd to me that Adobe betas are more stable for PCs than for Macs.

Designer commented on 10 Jan 2012
I felt compelled to leave a quick comment on the latest official non-beta version (11.1.102.55). I've been playing some HD videos on YouTube and noticed that Flash is only using 8% of my CPU. I tried it with a few other flash videos and the CPU is also pretty low.

Why am I posting then? This is the first time I've ever seen Flash use anything less than 40%-60% or more of my CPU to play HD videos on my Mac Pro. It's only taken about 14 years and it's near-extintion for them to finally reduce the CPU usage on Macs.

Better late than never eh?

it seems since the much needed introduction of multi-threaded flash, the timing is way of on my MacBook Air. Sound will often times be way ahead of the video. 202.160 is slightly better, but the problem is apparent enough for me to uninstall this beta version within an hour of use.
Come on Adobe, we need a working version to tide us over till html5 and beyond become pervasive enough to not care anymore about how crappy flash is...

Troubleshoot with Adobe Flash Player version 11.1.102.55

Dear all,

after I had installed new Adobe Flash Player version 11.1.102.55 it turned out YouTube videos can not be played anymore. If I click on a desired videoclip, all I get is black screen, where the video should be. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the Flash Player again, but the same thing happens every time. I also tried to reload the desired YouTube video, but without success. Even with the previous version of Flash Player the YouTube playlist were not played automatically, and stopped when a videoclip ended, although I added for instance &autoplay=1, etc.
Is there some serious bug? Otherwise I have MacOSX version 10.6.8.

Please help, since I would like to look and to listen to videos on YouTube.

After installing this Flash version, whenever I go to a page that requires Flash I'm informed that I need to either install it or update to a newer version.
I experienced this identical issue with the previous version.
At Adobe's forum, there are several others reporting this problem although most appear to be on a Windoze platform.
I sure wish there was an alternative to Adobe's Flash.

Is there a non Adobe alternative to Flash? I'd sure be delighted to get Adobe out my life.

PowerPC users should take their time to install "clicktoflash" kind of plugins no matter how inexperienced they are or get rid of Flash alltogether using Adobe Flash uninstaller.
Of course, nobody will spend time and risk jail with coding a powerpc virus in this age but, several options in this web 2.0 World exists. There hasn't been a more security threatening issue on OS X like this one, not updating a plugin for documented/widely known exploit of this popularity.
Click to Flash time or html5 video time really... Will not follow replies or score of this post, call me paranoid but this is simply inacceptable. Never heard anything like that on both OS X and Windows.

Katuzero had trouble on 05 May 2011
For me, some flash videos will load and others will not. Youtube works, for example, but other video site often give me a black screen with the spinning white "loading" message, but the video never loads.

One thing worth noting: I've noticed youtube videos do NOT work when it tries to load an ad beforehand. However, if I refresh the page, the video loads, because I guess it assumes I've seen the ad once already, and therefore doesn't need to load it up again?

I've tried repairing disk permissions, emptying the cache, deleting all cookies, and uninstalling and reinstalling flash.

What might be causing this odd problem ?

Thanks !

I tried both the 10.2 version and 10.3 version.
Neither versions are recognized by sites that require Flash.
One site tells me that I need to update Flash to at least version 7 and another says version 9.
Dunno what the problem is.
