Setting Flash System Preference on a Mac

If you can’t click “Allow” on Flash sites it may be due to the new Mac OS 10.7 Lion software. Adobe recently released a list of known issues interfacing with the new Mac OS 10.7 Lion release, issuing the following statement:

“The Flash Player settings dialog does not respond to mouse clicks. If you find yourself in this state, you can use the “tab” key to change the focus to the “Close” button and use the space bar to close the dialog. While not all settings are available, you can also use the Flash Player native control panel located in System Preferences.”

Here are the step by step instructions for setting the Flash System Preference on your Mac:

1) Click on the Apple symbol on the top left corner of your screen, and then click on System Preference.

2) In the section labeled “Other”, click on Flash player.

3) Now click “Camera and Mic”, and then click “Camera and Microphone Settings by Site”.

4) A list of sites will appear. Click on the “+” sign in the lower left corner to add mailVU.

5) Now enter “mailvu.com” as the Website Domain, and then select the Allow option. You have to type in mailvu.com, not http://mailvu.com or www.mailvu.com.

Now your Mac OS software will remember the Flash selection for the mailVU.com site, allowing you to record your video emails.
