Adobe Flash Player 10 - Enable Local Storage Issue

Hi all,
Having and issue after upgrading to Flash Player 10 from 9.
Some chat room applications are indicating that they cannot run
since local storage is not enabled. If I log into the PC as the
domain admin everything works fine. If a regular user logs in, that
message appears. What has adobe changed in Flash Player 10 that I
need to update?
Thanks.

Me too!
On both IE8 and Firefox. Win 7 32 bit on IBM T42 - 1GB ram.
Old laptop I know but the 10.1.x.x Flash Players worked just fine. Problem started with 10.2.152.26 flash player.
Now BBC TV live and iPlayer work just fine, however YouTube does not - audio but no video. Just a black rectangle where the video should be.
Right click to get the menu and "settings" is greyed out. However select the pop-out option and the video plays. Right click on the pop-out and "settings" is available. So deselect "enable hardware acceleration", close the pop-out and refresh the window (F5) and now YouTube videos play. Switch hardware acceleration back on and now they don't.
This video works fine with hardware acceleration enabled. http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/features/video/h264/
These also work. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/stagevideo.html
Something broken in 10.2, I think.

  • Adobe Flash Player Settings Local Storage popup from Mafia Wars on Facebook.

    I play Mafia Wars on Facebook. I use Mac OS 10.6.5, Flash Player 10.1, and Firefox 3.6.8. Some time ago I received a popup from Zynga entitled Adobe Flash Player Settings,  Local Storage asking permission to store info on my harddrive and giving me the option to allow or deny the request. However the popup is stuck; that popup will not go away.
    I have contacted Zynga, followed their instructions, and have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player. all with no success. When I play this game on other computers, including PCs, that popup is not there which leads me to the conclusion that the file is on my Mac hard drive somewhere and has nothing to do with the game itself. Please tell me how to find this file so that I may delete it. It spoils my enjoyment of the game because it limits what I can do in the game.
    Thanks loads.

    Hi, I would go to the Global Settings site here:
    http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.htm l
    I would click on the website that gave you the popup and delete that website. Perhaps this will clear it since it is stuck.
    When you visit that website again, it will problably ask to store info. Be sure to read about the Website Storage Settings Panel and how it works with the Global Storage Settings Panel.
    Thanks,

    P.S. If Flash Player is working, there is no need to Uninstall and Install it again. The games and Facebook will try to always tell you something is wrong with Flash Player. Clearly it was working until their pop up stuck, right?

  • Adobe Flash Player Settings Local Storage dialogue box

    An 'Adobe Flash Player Settings Local Storage' dialogue box has recently began appearing (since upgrading to latest version of FP) whenever I play a vid e.g. on YouTube. It gives a URL (not always the same one) and says it 'is requesting permission to share info on your computer' with two buttons for Allow and Deny. With all the recent concerns about hackers getting in on the back of plug-ins and add-ons such as Flash Player, I've been clicking Deny. Is it safe to 'Allow' and is this part of the Adobe FP software? If its not safe and my computer has been compromised, what can I do to clean my PC? Many thanks.

    You can control the way Flash behaves using the Global Settings Manager. The panel you see there are the actual settings on your own machine. Use the menus on the left to load other panels. The Help files explain what each setting does.

  • Adobe Flash Player Settings 'local storage' pop up will not go away

    I didn't see a Flash Player selection that fits, so hope this group is the right one...For the last few weeks when I access a website with a video ability, an Adobe Flash message pops up saying the site wants to place information on my computer.  It offers 'accept' and 'deny'.  If I select 'deny' it just stays and I cannot watch the video.  Please tell me how to make it disappear without being forced to selection 'allow' which I do not want to do.  I'm not a techie, so please give me as simple instruction as you can.many thanks

    I asked ITV to help and the reply said:
    If clearing your cache does not resolve your issue then please follow the
    below instructions to clear your local flash storage:
    On a PC:
    Click Start
    Select Control Panel
    Click on Flash Player
    Under the Storage tab click Delete all
    BINGO!!

  • Adobe Flash Player settings : Local Storage Requests

    After my recent update to the current version of Adobe Flash Player, I began getting these pop-ups requesting Local Storage access to my computer.  There is an allow or deny button, but when you chose to deny it, the pop-up just never goes away or continues to come back.  I object to these requests and want these pop-ops to go away. Does anyone have an answer to this problem ? How do you disable this ?

    Use the Flash Player Settings Manager to permanently allow or deny.

    32-bit programs are normally found in the x86 folder.  You can tell which version you're running by clicking "Help" and selecting About Internet Explorer.  The 64-bit version will say so.  The 32-bit version just has the version number.  Don't fault Microsoft for the problem.  The fact is that Adobe has failed to provide 64-bit versions of Flash player.  They are the ones who own the player and the ones who must provide updates.  Personally I think the fact that they haven't yet come up with 64-bit versions doesn't speak very well of Adobe's support for their products.

  • Adobe Flash Player and trackpad scrolling issue?

    I downloaded Flash Player to my mbp yesterday so I could watch some YouTube vids but after the d/l and install my trackpad scrolling became slightly jittery and skipped every so often. It does it on anyhing that is internet related only (safari, app store, itunes store etc.) It got annoying so I uninstalled Flash Player and no more skipping. Does anyone know a fix to the scroll skipping when Flash Player is installed? Maybe a setting that can be changed in flash system prefs? I would like to have it installed but if it is going to continue to make my scrolling skip then I guess I'll have to try to live with the skipping or just flat out live without flash on my mbp. I downloaded it directly from www.adobe.com and it was the latest version. I'm running ML on a mid 2012. Also could be an issue with ML being so new that adobe hasn't caught up yet?

    I have similar problems.  It does seem to correlate to Flash running in Safari.  Works fine with Google Chrome but Chrome isn't as fast on OSX.

  • An Adobe Flash Player message regarding storage has popped up and although I can click "deny", it won;t go away;how do I stop this?

    Whenever this happens, I have been able to click "deny" and it has gone away. However, when trying to play a game on Facebook, it will not go away and allow me to play the game. How do I get rid of this little message? Looks like I'm being hacked as the message is asking me to allow more storage, thereby gaining access to what's on my computer.
    Thank you!

  • How do I remove an Adobe Flash Player pop up window?

    While accessing a Yahoo home page news video an Adobe pop up window blocked the central portion of a video. 
    The pop up window states:

    How do I remove this Adobe pop window???

    Websites might occasionally want to store information, such as your high score from a game that runs in  Flash Player or what products you have purchased, to your computer. In the Global Storage Settings panel, you can control how much disk space websites can use to store information, or you can prohibit websites from storing any information at all. (If you prohibit websites from storing information, the website might or might not function as intended.)
    Use this panel to specify the default storage settings for websites that you haven't yet visited. (To change settings for websites you have already visited, use the Website Storage Settings panel.) The following list explains the storage options:
    If you don't want to let applications from any website save information on your computer, and you don't want to be asked again, select Never Ask Again. This action doesn't delete any information that is already stored. (To delete existing information, use the Delete options in the Website Storage Settings panel.)
    If you want to decide on a case-by-case basis whether applications from a website can save information on your computer, move the slider to the far left (None). Each time an application wants to save information on your computer, you will be asked for more disk space.
    If you want to let applications from any website save as much information on your computer as they need to, move the slider to the far right (Unlimited).
    If you want to let applications from any website save information on your computer, but want to limit the amount of disk space they can use, move the slider to select 10 KB, 100 KB, 1 MB, or 10 MB. If an application needs more space than you have allotted, you will be asked for more disk space while the application is running.
    (Flash Player 8 and later) If you do not want to let third-party content store information on your computer, deselect Allow Third-Party Content To Store Data On Your Computer.
    When you visit a website, the address shown in the browser address bar is usually where most of the website is located. For example, if you visit a fictional website www.[hotel].com, most of the website is located at www.[hotel].com. Sometimes, websites combine content from different sources. For example, www.[hotel].com might display a reservations form in Flash that actually comes from [reservations.hotel].com. The content from the latter website is called third-party content.
    Third-party content might try to store information on your computer. In the hotel reservations example, you might be willing to let [reservations.hotel].com store information on your computer, such as data about which hotels you prefer, so that you can make a hotel reservation. However, you might not be willing to let third-party content store information on your computer in other situations. For example, a car-rental company, www.[my-car-rental].com, might have a banner ad on www.[hotel].com, to track your website usage or to record your preferences.
    To prohibit all third parties from storing information on your computer, deselect Allow Third-Party Content To Store Data On Your Computer. This option is available only with Flash Player 8 and later. Adobe recommends that you upgrade to the most recent version of Flash Player available.
    (Flash Player 9.0.115.0 and later) If you do not want to store Flash components on your computer, deselect Store Common Flash Components To Reduce Download Times.
    Flash Player lets you store common or shared SWF and FLV files and other components from different websites on your computer to significantly reduce download times and allow faster viewing. For example, www.[hotel].com and [reservations.hotel].com might both use the same Adobe components on their sites.
    For an overview of issues related to storage, see What are storage settings? in the discussion of the Settings Manager.

  • Adobe flash player "Installation failed. Not enough permissions to write disk"

    Hi there, my adobe flash player keeps on having issues. I downloaded the install file, open it and click install and it instantly fails and comes up with this message.
    "Installation failed. Not enough permissions to write disk". Any ideas?

    I think 2 options:
    - try repair disk permissions

  • Adobe Flash FAIL:  Adobe Flash Player local storage settings incorrect.  Module 'Resume' feature may not work on this computer.

    Using a Windows 2012 RDS Environment, we have users connecting to a CPD website, and as part of the CPD they need to run a systems checker.  When they run the systems checker they get the following error message: "Adobe Flash FAIL:  Adobe Flash Player local storage settings incorrect.  Module 'Resume' feature may not work on this computer". All users are connecting to this environment with Windows CE Clients,I have checked the setting on Adobe Flash and they seem correct but as each user has its own profile on the RDS session, is there something that I should be setting for each user. I have added the website to the trusted sites and it has made no difference.   Any ideas

    It sounds like what's happening is that Flash Player can't write or read from the local shared objects in the user's redirected home directory because we disallow traversing junctions in the broker process.  This behavior was disabled to address a vulnerability identified in some of John Forshaw's research into the IE broker last year.
    You can enable this behavior by adding the following setting to mms.cfg:
    EnableInsecureJunctionBehavior=1
    That said, you can probably gather from the name of the flag that we don't really recommend this approach, and disable this attack surface by default.  There's some risk that a network attacker could craft content that abuses fundamental issues with how Windows handles Junctions to write to arbitrary locations.
    Unfortunately, there's not a simple or easy workaround that I'm aware of (but it's been ages since I've administered a Windows domain) for this kind of NAS/SAN-backed terminal server environment where Flash is not able to access \Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\ without traversing a junction.
