   I'm installing a new WordPress blog for a client, and cannot get the media upload to work at all on a Mac.

   A few details:

   • I have tried everything at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/164999?replies=1

   • This is a totally fresh 2.8 install, not an upgrade from a previous version.

   • This is happening with all plugins uninstalled.

   If I reboot into Windows, I can get it to work, so that tells me it's not a problem with the install or file permissions. I've tried to get it to work on 2 different Macs, on a variety of different browsers, but all I get is the title, "Upload New Media", followed by blank space. No buttons at all.

   I uninstalled Flash 10 and downgraded to Flash 9. No help.

   I installed the "no flash upload" plugin, but that changed nothing.

   I personally wouldn't mind manually uploading the files and linking to them myself with html in new posts, but I'm setting this up for a client who is not computer proficient. I need for the inline uploader to work.

   Is there a way to make this work? I'm pulling my hair out here.

   Oh, I should also mention, because I've seen this listed as a possible cause of such problems... I did have Google Gears installed in Firefox, but I have uninstalled it and the problem persists.

   I got the same problem !
   But with just one WP site. I can't see the media uploader, but a blank screen.
   I got other WP sites, on other servers and they all work without problems from PC and Mac.
   I can't understand what it could be the cause?

   Have you tried:

   - deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

   - switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

   - resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

   - re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress?

   - increasing the available memory?

   I had the same problem on one solution. I didn't have the Flash Uploader option available. This was only in browsers on MAC not in Windows.

   Then I tried to copy this link http://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin/media-new.php?flash=1 into the browser and then I got the option to choose either "Browser Uploader" or "Flash Uploader"

   That "fixed" it! :) I don't know if that helps you!

   Yes works, very odd. Would like to find an actual fix for this though. :)
