Problems with Lion 10.7 (Cerb Chat)

[Satin 1237]

Hey all.

 

So it appears our wonderful new shiny Mac Lion 10.7 has as expected some know issues including breaking CERB chat which is Flash-based.

 

This document outlines the known issues with 10.7 with other applications : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html (Thanks Mr. Goldfinger)

 

You will see they suggest a 'tab' and 'spacebar' solution to bring the Flash dialog back into focus but attempts on my Macbook Pro to do that have not worked. :(

It took me a while to find system preferences for the flash player. I use chrome and flash is built in. So just in case anyone else is still struggling with this here is what to do:

 

- once you get the popup asking about your camera and mic right click on it.

- click on "global settings..."

- click on the "Camera and Mic" tab at the top

- select "Block all sites from using the camera and microphone"

 

I had to quit chrome and restart it, but now chat works fine.

 

SAFARI USERS:

If you are doing this with safari global settings takes you to an adobe web page instead of a pop-up. It looks like you've been redirected to a help page, but if you look for "Settings Manager" and then under it "Global Privacy Settings panel" it will bring up a panel that you can use to make the same change.
