Flash player not working after doing the update

I got an update on facebook saying that I needed to update my flash player. so I did, and now it keep saying that I need to update when It already shows that it is the updated version. now I cannot do anything that involves using flash, no facebook or online games or utube. please anyone if you can help me figure this out.

Recently, my games on Facebook and Youtube stopped working and prompted me to upgrade my flash player.
It included the link to Adobe, as do all the sites that require it.
So, I did. It says install successful, but it is not.
I use Safari on a Mac 10.5.8.
The flash player is still working on FireFox.
I tried many things so far and it is still down on Safari.
I tried upgrading from the internet.
I tried rebooting a flash player from my Creative Suite 4... that actually told me my disc 2 was blank during install!
I uninstalled flash player and reinstalled many times. No go.
I uninstalled my Flash program and nearly lost it!!
It would not reinstall from my CS4 discs.
A friend helped me and I am pretty sure the Flash maker is up again. I see the icons are back in place in the applications folder, but i did not try running it yet.
He thought the flash player was working again when he returned my computer, but it is still not working in Safari.
I tried downloading and reinstalling the flash player again from Adobe, yes..the correct version for Intel based Mac.
He ran first aid repair a few times.
There was a lot of things that got fixed.
I am in need of more help.
anyone figure this out?
please!

  • Flash player not working after recent software update

    I have a MAC OSX 10.5.8, after the recent software update my flash player no longer works.
    I have read that there is a problem with security for the version of flash that I was using and this is the reason it was disabled. However, I have tried to download the most recent version from the Adobe website, but nothing happens and a message says I already have flash installed on my computer.
    I have a version of flash in my HD>>Library>>Internet plug-ins, and there is also one in HD>>Library>>Internet plug-ins (Disabled) which I have tried to move but it only lets you copy it and it seems unable to be moved back to HD>>Library>>Plug-ins
    I have also tried to download the "No Script" addon for Firefox so that I can at least have flash working in Firefox, but that doesn't seem to be downloading either.
    Please could somebody help me. I cannot now watch videos, listen to my favourite radio stations or even upload pics to ebay to create ebay listings. This problem ruining my internet enjoyment and I just hope that it can be fixed again. How dare Apple just do this without any warning or giving any info on how to easily fix this problem once flash has been disabled.
    I am not a techie so maybe there is an easy fix, but I have spent hours trying a lot of different things but nothing seems to be working.

    Please, nobody waste any time replying to this issue as the problem appears to be fixed now. I rarely restart my laptop as I usually just put it to sleep, however, I restarted it and the problem looks to have gone away. I may have fixed it with some of the things I tried, but the laptop may just have needed restarting - I'm not sure.
    But as long as the problem is resolved, I'm happy. :-)))
    Thanks anyway!

  • Flash Player not working after downloading new version

    I downloaded Flash Player 10 and it does not work.I am using Windows XP and Internet Explorer. I have tried the trouble shooting. I have made sure its enabled under Active X and it does not work at all now. I have tried to download Flash Player 9 and now that will not download. I regularly use site that require Flash and I am shut down until I can figure out what is wrong. Please help.

    I have the same issue after I was prompted yesterday to upgrade my Flash player. With the new version, 2/3 of Flash pages do not work. But 1/3 do work !
    Example of page that does not work with new version of Flash :
    http://www.youtube.com/  (the whole site)
    http://www.adobe.com/fr/products/flashplayer/  (Adobe's official Flash page !)
    Example of page that does work with new version of Flash :
    http://www.voleursdechevaux.be/page_flash.html
    On first glance, I would say that Flash loaded through JavaScript fails. Only Flash embedded through HTML works. But I am not competent enough to discover why.
    Here is my current configuration (the version test at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html works well) :
    Player Version : WIN 10.0.22.87
    Debug Player : no
    Operating System : Vista
    Browser : Internet Explorer 8
    Locale : French

  • Flash player not working after upgrade

    I recently upgarded flash player on my mac os 10.6.8. Safari 5.1.10 After the upgrade videos will not play. Is there a way to get older versions of flash player?

    Flash Player 12 works just fine with Snow Leopard. I have it on my server machine. No problems at all in Safari, Opera, Firefox.
    Give it a "clean install" to make sure you've gotten the old plug-ins out and that the new ones are "allowed" by Safari.

  • Adone flash player not working after upgrade

    I have Windows Vista, but using IE 8, 32 bit, I was keep on getting upgrade pop ups, got sick of it and upgrade to new version 11, since than flash player is not working. In youtube, just black screen.
    I unistall through adobe website.
    restart
    close all all browsers.
    install again, no luck.
    Active X is enable in IE.
    internet options, security level is Medium.
    In manage add ons, shockwave flash object is there and enable, shockwave Activex is there and enable, Java plug ins are enable.
    remove Firefox, and tried all steps
    C:\windows\system  remove flash folder
    Start, Explore, remove flash folder from Adobe and Macromdedia
    delete, restart, install, no luck
    delete, restart, install 10.3
    no luck
    also I save adobe flash player 11 and 10.3 on desktop and run from there.
    (One thing I did notice that I open IE 32 bit to install, when I try to unistall from adobe site for 32 bit, it tells me to use 64 bit unistall, when I use 64 bit, it will unistall the adobe player, but if I check IE 64 bit, there is no shockwave flash object and shockwave ActiveX control, but they do exit under IE 32 bit after installing)
    Who is the genious, who can guide me in the right direction. I am missing one step, somewhere.
    At this point I do not care about flash player 11, I just want flash player to work, even 10.3.
    also CPU P8400 @ 2.27GHZ, do I need better processor to run 11?
    ram 4gb

    Vista is 64 bit, IE is 32 and 64, uptil now, I was using 32 bit.
    Last night I tried to download flahplayer for 64bit flash player from your link in the FAQ, since it will add flashplayer for both 32 and 64bit, also did not work, any advise will be appreciated.

  • Flash Player not working after install Internet Explorer 10

    I have tried several attempts at installing and unistalling Flash Player.  I have used the data base provided to trouble shoot the issue with no success.  Yes I have done everything suggested by Adobe to no avail.

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    Which Windows are you using ?
    Do you see Flash cube bounching on this page : http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Make sure "Shockwave Flash Object" is enabled under Add-ons (Tools -> Manage Add-ons) and ActiveX Filtering is disabled (Tools -> Security)
    Thanks,

  • Flash Player not working after updating to 10.2 - Plz help - my research project is on hold now

    I updated my flash to latest version.. Everything gone.. Flash is completly not working now. I cannout see any youtube videos or any flash websites.
    I tried all the way possible to troubleshoot it. But failed. Still not working.
    My OS - Windows 7 - 32bit
    IE - 9 (latested) 32bit
    Flash Vesrion - 10.2 (Latest)
    I tried all the ways mentioned in this case: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3145974
    I have even removed teh compatible flag - such that to remove kill-bit, Still dint work.
    I see that eventhough i install in my IE manage addons i dont find any flash player or shock player to enable or to disable. .its completly not there.. Its very strange.
    I am using kasperky Pure. I could not figure out is there any option in kaspersky pure to disable ads block/popup.?
    Please help. I am not able to understand what is the problem.
    I have even noted some times automatically the flsh sites and youtube gets working after some reboot. But if i reboot again same problem.
    I have tried installing and uninstalling several times. Even rebooted. But nothing works.
    Please not i am not gettting any flash player addon options in my IE but i get the add on option in my Firefox which shows enabled. But still I have a doubt - what exact name of add on would be in FF. even in google chromes its not working. It says it has inbuilt Flash player.
    Please help me to rectify it. My research project is getting pending with this issue. Please help me to rectify it as soon as possible. Please.

    I am using Windows 7 - 32 bit. and the IE - 32bit.
    I have tried all the uninstalling and installing procedure. But it did not work for me.
    In my first post I had told that i was not getting any Addon in my IE. then i figured out when i click show all add-ons, then i see a shock player addon in my IE of the lastest verion 10.2. So please negelct that fact . I have an addon too in my IE 9
    But nothing works.
    When I go to the link you have provided. : http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Please note: (all the below browsers are very latest versions)
    In chrome - See nothing (place is white)
    In IE 9 -  See nothing (place is white)
    FF -  See nothing (place is white)
    when i right click on that place i get only 2 options:
    1. Movie not loaded....
    2. About Adobe Plash Player 10.2.152.26...
    Even when i open the youtube. the video portions are blank. n when i right click on it shows the above same 2 options.
    Kill-bit - when i checked it, i had a Compatible flag - but its values where all zeros. Still i deleted it. (So i do not think that was an issue)

    Further - My knowledge - I do not have any adblock or adblock plus. I only suspect if Kaspersky Pure, if it has an option to block it. (I am not aware of it).
    Further - In my Chrome Plugin i see like this : I have a doubt here- Why i have 2 shockwave flash versions?
    I even tried disabling them one at each time alternatively and tried if youtube works - still same problem.
    I am suspecting might be quick time could have generated this problem. i had recently updated the quicktime. But when i checked in the help forum I got to know that quick time can cause problem, so i completly uninstalled it now. I do not have quick time in my system - but still the probelm was same.
    Please help.

  • Flash player not working after updates

    My streaming videos stop working after the latest updates
    there is no Flash player on the device.

    If you had Flash Player before the update, you should be able to reinstall it from Google Play.  Go to the Play Store and look under My Apps, then All and it should be there ... update it.  There are several threads about this on this forum if you want to do a search.

  • Flash player not working after updating to 11.5. Help please!

    Hi,
    I am having problems running Flash player, I am NO expert whatsoever but I will do my best to describe. After updating to Flash 11.5 all applications using Flash including Youtube, Google Streetview etc stopped working. Youtube simply said "an error has occurred" the rest of the applications just didn't load and left me with a blank area of screen where the app/video etc would be. Have tried the usual removal and re-installing and re-installing older versions. The closest thing that has worked has been to re-install the even older version 10.3, which allows Youtube to work but all other applications request I update first, which of course leaves me back at square one.
    Could anyone please shed some light on this for me? Could it be a known problem? I've quickly exhausted my limited knowledge!
    Thankyou!

    To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
    Operating   system 
    Browser 
    Flash   Player version
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Flash Player not working after installing update 11.6.602.171

    Running Windows 7, IE8.  Tried all of the "fixes" recommended on adobe's site - nothing worked.  Flash Player is installed on computer, but when try to play video, it says it is not installed.  Tried unistalling and reinstalling and all of the recommendations on this site.  Please help!!

    I have the same problem. Since I installed the newest version I cannot watch embedded videos any more. I checked especially for youtube videos. When they are embedded, I only get sound, but no picture/film to go with it, BUT when I go to youtube, I can watch the video just fine.
    Same for videos from internet sites of tv channels. I like to watch my favourite TV series online when I have time and since one and a half week: I can't.
    I have
    Flash Player 11.6.602.171

  • HT5655 Adobe Flash Player not working after installing

    I've just bought a brand new macbook pro and have tried to download adobe flash many many times and it just won't work. It tells me that I need adobe Flash player so I click the link, which takes me to the adobe website, I then download it, follow all the prompts and installation is complete. But then I go back and the message appears again that I need adobe flash player!!! I am about to tear my hair out, please help!

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. In rare cases, you might have to log out or reboot to force a Flash update to be recognized. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 6. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    You might have to log out or reboot before a Flash update takes effect.
    Step 2
    If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    Step 3
    If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
    If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 4
    Open this folder as in Step 3:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
    Flash Player (failing).plugin  
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    Step 5
    Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    Step 6
    If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
    Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
    Then click the button marked
    Manage Website Settings...
    if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
    Step 7
    Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    Step 8
    In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

  • Flash Player Not Working after many reinstalls, reboots, et cetera.

    Hey everyone.
    Here's the required info as per the guidelines before I get too into the background of the problem:
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (SP 1)
    Web Browser: Internet Explorer 11.0.9600.17633   (Please note this is not typically my default browser. I usually use Chrome, and Firefox is somewhere on the machine).
    Flash Version: 16.0.0.305  (Although this also happens with the beta 17 version).
    I tried to get help with this on the skype forums as this was primarily a skype-centric problem at first, but it has quickly turned into a problem with my flash player on internet explorer. Skype apparently relies on IE and specifically IE's flash player, which I cannot recall using ever on this machine. Any website visited in IE that has flash content somewhere on the page will freeze with either a blank white screen, perpetually load with only one or two non-flash elements on the page (such as a big black bar at the top on the adobe flash help page: Flash Player Help.)
    The ultimate goal of this troubleshooting is to get IE's flash working again so that Skype will begin working again.
    I have uninstalled, reinstalled, and rebooted countless times. I uninstalled IE and reinstalled it from the ground up, I have done so many things to try and diagnose this problem, but I just can't understand what it is. My flash works fine in Chrome, which is separate from IE due to the flash player in IE needing ActiveX, from what I understand.
    I can provide any additional information on request, and I will also link to the skype support thread so as to not require you to go through another troubleshooting step that they didn't already have me go through: Skype Fails to Send Messages, Update Status, Numer... - Skype Community
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

  • Flash Player not working after CS3 install

    I just bought a new iMac and Adobe CS3 web premium software yesterday. I installed on the new iMac, then installed the software on my 1.5 year old MacBook Pro. On the laptop everything seems to be working fine, except the Flash player won't work when browsing on Safari or Firefox. I tried numerous downloads and installs in every way possible, but still not working. Is this because the MacBook Pro is running 10.4.11 and the Flash Player may have been built for 10.5? Please advise how to get Flash working in the browsers again. Thanks!

    Seems a common problem...
