  • Recurrent requests to download latest ver. of Adobe Flash Player

    I have Windows 7 Pro 64bit. I have downloaded what is called the latest version of Windows 7 64 bit ver. of ADFP  (Ver. 11.9.900.170) and Adobe says this download minus the Chrome should be 16.4mb. When I download it and it is installed in control panel under the list of programs Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX is shown and the ver. is listed as:
    11.9.900.170 but it shows the program to be only 6.00mb. Also on the left side where there should be a red icon for Adobe Flash Player the icon is NOT red but it is a rectangular box black out line and center white. I have gone to "Manage ad ons" and it is enabled there. Still I get daily requests from www.lumosity.com to "Download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player and they will not let me go on with their program until I do so again. This time everything is the same except the icon on the left side of the program is red as it should be. I also get same requests from World of WarGames, they don't stop the game but at the end they suggest downloading the latest version. When I down load the Flash Player why is it not the 16.4mb they say it will be. Why only 6.00mb. What is disabling Adobe Flash Player. I'm using the 64bit version of internet explorer to download it but it seems I'm only getting the 32bit version of Adobe Flash Player. Could that be the problem? What would be a way to fix this? I'm using Internet Explorer 10 and I have both the 64bit and the 32bit versions on my desktop. Please offer some experienced help with this annoying, recurrent problem! Thanks. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times, but that was no help.

    Save them to your Downloads folder - DO NOT RUN THEM.
    Close your browser.
    Make SURE it's closed.
    The icon should NOT have a frame around it.
    Open your Downloads folder and run the Shockwave uninstaller.
    Follow the prompts.
    until it finishes.

    I was successfuly running videos on Mozila Fire Fox but from 2/3 days when i click video i am getting message (copied and pasted here)
    Flash Player upgrade required
    You must download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player to view this content.
    Even I hd already installed latest version of Adobe Flash Player

    Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.6.1.629 is not Flash.
    There are two different versions of Flash, the '''''ActiveX''''' version for IE and the '''Plugin''' version used by most other browsers.
    1.Download the Flash Plugin version setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />

  • I'm being told I need to download Flash player even though I have installed the latest version

    I'm using a Mac with Mac OS X, Version 10.7.5, with Safari 6.0.2 as my browser. I haven't had any problems with Flash player until today. Now suddenly, when I try to view Flash content, it tells me I need to download/install the latest version of Flash Player. However, I have installed it multiple times. I even uninstalled it and re-installed it, re-started my computer, etc, and it still won't work. What else can I try??

    Does this happen with all Flash content?  Do you see the animation and version info when you go to this page?
    Flash Player Version
    If not, please go into Safari's preferences dialog, the security tab, and verify that Enable Plug-Ins is checked.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • I download adobe flash play as prompted by youtube and return to sight and the sight says to download latest and greatest adobe flash player again, does not seem to recognize

    i download adobe flash player as prompted and it does not seem to be recognized.

    Go to Apple > System Preferences > Flash Player
    and check to see if your Flash Player is up to date.
    11.9.900.170 is the latest version.

  • Sites want me to download newest version of Adobe Flash Player when I already have it

    I am having difficulty when at a site that I want to watch a video on (most recently a work site) and I am told I need to update Adobe Flash Player. I double check andI Have the same version I am being insructed to download. I tried going to Security under System Prefences and under Apps allowing from anywhere in case that was the problem. Still, I cannot watch the video. Any ideas of the problem?  I was just watching videos from this same work site without this coming up. I have also had it come up on other sites (less trusted than this site) and could not watch the video because of the same reason. Ihave AdobeFlashPlayer set to automatically update.

    Assuming Allan's advice is not correct, and you do run the installer, I think I've heard of that problem and it involves removing the old Flash plug-ins, then install the new version. I don't use it so I don't know what they are called, but will be the /Library/Internet Plug-ins folder.
    You can go here and enable HTML5 in YouTube so you don't have to use Flash: http://www.youtube.com/html5
    Most(?) of the content is HTML5, but you may run into videos where you still need Flash.

  • A site downloads an old version of SW Player even though I have the newest version installed

    Over the years I've played games at a site (Garfield Games).  The last few years, whenever I update to the new version of Shockwave Player, Garfield Games downloads an old version of SW Player (10.4 to be exact) citing compatibility issues when I try to play a game.  It doesn't matter if I use Chrome or IE9 to download the new version of SW player, or go to Garfield in either browser, as soon as I try to play a game I have to download the old version of SW Player.  I notice my newest version is located in User-AppData-LocalLow-Adobe.  The old version is located in C-Windows-System32-Macromed-Shockwave 10.  If I delete the SW 10 file and try to play a game at Garfield I have to download the old version again, or I can't play the games.  This only occurs if I download a new version of SW Player (as it deletes the older versions on my system)or if I manually delete the old version.
    My system isn't that unusual,  Vista 32 sp2, Webroot anti virus, windows firewall, Secunia.
    When the old version is downloaded, Secunia flags it as a security risk.  I delete the SW Int.exe file in SW 10 and Secunia no longer flags it as a security risk.  I also delete 7 other files in it, and it still works at Garfield.  I've contacted Garfield and they claim it's my system.  Garfield is the only site that I have encountered this problem.
    I've tried googling this question, and there's nothing really comprable.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

    I know that some sites do that.  I don't know of any way to prevent that, except to avoid sites that do that.
    If I really wanted to prevent that, I would try to set the permissions in the target folders
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Director
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Shockwave 10
    to prevent anything from installing.

  • My computer keeps telling me to download Flash Player even though I already have.

    Why does my computer keep telling me to download the latest version of Flash Player even though I have downloaded it multiple times.  Am I forgetting to do something?

    Its seems to be a browser specific issue. Try a different browser like chrome or firefox, it should work.
    For fixing IE or Safari, lets follow below suggestions :
    Run the Flash Player Uninstaller as applicable for your machine(i.e.Windows or MAC) and remove flash player.
    For MAC : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
    For Windows : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
    Restart the machine.
    Download and Re-install Flash Player.
    Restart the browser and check.

  • In eBay & YouTube, I get the message to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player; I have gone through the download and installation procedure several times, but still get the same message - why can't I install the latest version on Firefox?

    In eBay, I was trying to upload pictures when I got this message: "You need the latest version of Adobe Flash Player to use the standard picture uploader.
    Download and install the latest version from Adobe before continuing."
    In YouTube, when trying to watch a video, I got this message: "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video."
    I have gone through the procedure for downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, but still get the same messages when I reopen Firefox and revisit these sites.
    There does not seem to be the same problem with Safari, which runs the latest version of Adobe Flash Player with no trouble.
    I am using an iMac running Mac OS X Version 10.6.7.

    You can find the latest Flash player for Firefox on this page.
    *http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    For Firefox on 64 bit Windows, you need the 32 bit Flash version version because Firefox is a 32 bit application.

  • TS3212 I have removed my pop-up blocker completely and still receive the following error message when attempting to download iTunes:  "The file was blocked because it does not have a valid digital signature that verifies its publisher".....any ideas?

    have removed my pop-up blocker completely and still receive the following error message when attempting to download iTunes:  "The file was blocked because it does not have a valid digital signature that verifies its publisher".....any ideas?

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • I downloaded latest version of Adobe Flash but my plug in's are still blocked

    Have an iMac 10.6.8.  My plug in's are blocked even though I have downloaded latest version of Adobe Flash.  Can someone help.

    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US  which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.
