How to fix the 'blocked plugin' error When you see a 'blocked plugin' error message on a black screen when a screensaver starts, this means a plug-in — a third-party program required by the screensaver — is not working. In 99% of the cases, the plug-in in question is the Adobe Flash Player, and the solution is to update Flash to the latest version, as Apple blocks outdated versions for security reasons. It is also possible you have never installed the required plug-in on your computer.

Whatever the case is, this help page will guide you through the actions required to fix the problem. Because the 'blocked plugin' message can be hidden by some screensavers, the solution provided here may also apply to Mac screensavers that stop working but show no errors.
