Seemed to Install, but still not Flash content - sng40
The greyed-out QuickTime with a "?" haunts me all too often. I found two ways to recover from it: (1) remove the new plugins from /Library/Internet Plug-Ins [N.B., this is the Root Directory Folder, not your User Folder ~], or better yet, create a folder within that folder and name it "Disabled Plug-Ins," and move the suspect plug-ins into it, and (2) remove the Safari Preference, com.apple.Safari.plist, from your User Directory Library ~/Library/Preferences, and re-start Safari.
You may note, as I did, that before making these fixes, other browsers like Firefox and Opera will play the QuickTime videos, whereas Safari would not. Hope this helps. It took me months of frustration and needless reinstallation of the System at the behest of Apple techs to figure this out myself.
