Flash Player only works for the account that downloaded it
I downloaded flash player and did not specify any special preferences, however, it doesn't work for the 2 other accounts on the computer. It only runs for the Administrator account from which i downloaded it. I'm running XP professional. Can someone tell me how to fix this?
hi, i had already deleted cookies, temp internet files, etc;
i only have the IE pop up blocker and blocking level set at Medium;
it's the latest version of FP 10.0.45.2.
I installed this version a couple of weeks ago and it worked ok for all accounts (the other 2 accounts are not admin) for a week. Then, it stopped working for all accounts, i reinstalled it (some trial and error involved), then when it finally reinstalled, only works for the one account. i just tried to reinstall from one of the other accounts and error mssg said "failed to register"

Subject: Flash Player only works for the account that downloaded it
Hi ol, I would go to Tools, click on Internet Options and clear the Temp files. Delete Cookies, Delete Files, including the off line content. I would do this using all accounts. Also check the history files while you are there and delete those also unless you have done so recently.
What version of Flash Player do you have Installed?
Do you use any adblock or pop up blocker software?
Thanks,

Flash player only works for user account installed with
Hi all
I've different user accounts on my PC for me and my son.
Somehow Flash Player 10 only works for the user account I installed Flash player with.
In case I install it using my account it will not work for my son's account and vice versa.
How can I solve this?
Thanks
MarioI've struggled with this for a long time. Here is what I've come up with.
Adobe tech support recommended this:
1. Log in as Admin
2. Download the following zip file from here:
www.supportflash.com/reset_all.zip
3. Unzip this folder onto your desktop.
4. Drag both files ‘reset_min_all.cmd’ and
‘subinacl.exe’ to your
desktop.
5. Run the reset_min_all.cmd file.
6. It will open a DOS like terminal and start
running through registry
keys.
7. When it is finished it will say “press any key
to continue”.
8. At this point you can install the latest Flash
Player:
for Internet Explorer:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/ts/documents/tn_19166/Install_F
lash_Player_9_ActiveX.zip
other browsers:
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
9. Check that Flash Player is working for the
Admin.
10. Check that Flash Player is working as the
other 2 users.

I can't recall whether I had to run this in each account or not. It somewhat worked for me. If the accounts were all set up as admin accounts, flash worked in all the accounts after that. If one account was admin and the rest were limitied (I'm running xp home) it wouldn't work in the limited account.
I gave up and reverted back to flash player 9 via NOrton go back
It must be a permissons issue of some sort. I just don't have the patience to figure it out.
Good Luck,
Let us know what you figure out -
Flash player only works in administrator account. In other accounts safari can't play flash videos (youtube or others) while firefox can. OSX 10.5.8 safari 5.0.5 / latest flash player. I have tried almost everything. Reinstall safari and flash player, repair permissions.... Any help?
Repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the menu bar, quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
If that didn't help, install the v10.5.8 combo update.

New flash player not working for all users
I have Flash 10.0.22.87 installed on a freshly built Citrix 4.5 PS. When the administrator is signed in, everything works just fine. When my users sign in, they navigate to a webpage that requires flash and it either tells them that Flash is not installed or it prompts them to install (but does nothing when you tell it to).
Did flash player become profile specific with this new release? I have 10.0.12.36 and 9.0.115.0 on my other Citrix servers and they work without issue for all users. I've tried uninstalling with the utility I downloaded from adobe.com and re-installing with the offline activeX control. I've played with the security settings opening thing wide open and it still does not work. There is no different software between the problem server and the other Citrix servers other than this version of Flash.
Any suggestions? Thanks in Advance
LincI am experiencing the same problem on my LAN. Administrator account the app works fine, end users sign in with non admin accounts and it will not work.
I spent some time reading online and found the following instructions on the NET. I tried them and I thought it worked because I was able to log on as a non admin user test account and the flash player worked just fine.
Log in as Admin

Flash Player stopped working for Chrome in Windows 8
Randomly, the flash player stopped working for Chrome. I run a Windows 8 system. Everytime I go to a website that uses the flash plugin (youtube, video streaming websites) a bar pops up telling me that the plug in will only work in the desktop. I've never encountered this problem before.
I have:
1. Checked to see if I needed updates. I'm all updated.
2. Reinstalled Chrome to try and fix it, to no avail.
Additionally, when I view the Flash Player settings from my control panel, under Advanced Settings, it says that the plug in version is not installed. However, I'm unable to click on that or click on the settings that say "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)".
What is going on? I really disllike running Chrome from the desktop and would like this to be fixed.sherylt7 wrote:

Chrome uses its own "proprietary" build of Flash Player, so you WON'T see any plugin in your control panel for it. You verify that it's enabled by typing "chrome://plugins" in your Chrome address bar. I'd provide a screenshot but I've REMOVED Chroime from EVERY system I have because it uses WAY TOO MUCH processor and it was launching by itself in the background on my Win 8 machine. I won't tolerate that out of ANY software. -
With my i phone 4 , the Push notifications doesn't work for apps like (fb viber , whatsapp etc ) it only works for the official apps like message even when im using the phone, has this probleme with the iOs 6.0.1 and also with the iOs 6.1
This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

I have the portable BOSE sound dock and after updating my ipod to ios7 the remote control of the dock only works for the volume but doesnt work for skipping songs....Is there a solution to this?
Have you went to Bose"s support site?
Sometimes this works
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
However, sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility and you will have to wait for an firmware update for the Bose or an iOS update. -
My ringer only works on the phone. All other functions are silent and the ringer increase button does not add volume.
Had this happen today and 2X past as you discribed. A reboot (turn phone off and on) restored all sounds for me. The first time I can't associate w/ a cause but the second and third were just after listening to a podcast using the apple podcast app - the only app available for that. That's my story and for now I'm sticking to it.

IE showing Flash Player status disabled, despite the fact that it's enabled in Manage Add Ons.
I uninstalled Flash Player version 13 on Windows 8 and then re-installed Flash Player version 11.7.700.275.

Adobe flash player will not load
Download the Flash Player via this page: Troubleshoot Flash Player installation for Windows
*http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_Download_and_install_the_latest_Flash_Player_version
# Download and save the Flash installer for the Firefox browser to your desktop.
# Exit Firefox (File > Exit), you may need to verify that in the Task Manager (XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC, Processes tab)
# Start the Flash installer with a double-click on the desktop icon of the Flash installer.
* You may have to run the Flash installer as Administrator (right-click: Run as ...) to get access rights for installing the files and modifying the registry.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you 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 or nothing seems to happen.
* Run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu (Run as Administrator) to get elevated permissions.

Flash player doesnt work for IE (64 bit) - for me anyway
ive got windows 7 (64bit) and in a recent up date i believe internet explorer (64bit) downloaded, it works fine except flash player doesnt at all, no updates i download make it work either
but then i switched back to using the normal IE and everything works fine
how do i solve this problem?
this may be a problem being experienced by others - i hopeHi, well since Adobe Flash Player doesn't support the 64bit, you need to use the 32bit browser. This is the default on Win7/IE8 systems. Go up to Help, About Internet Explorer and if you see x86, you are using the 32bit.
Also you need to use the 32bit browser when Installing Flash Player and to view Flash.

The get messages function only works for the first account
regardless of which account is listed in any order, the get messages button only gets messages for the first account in the list, thus if you are expecting one into another account you have to highlight that account and click the get messages....
I have no idea what your talking about. Thunderbird has no apps.
Perhaps your talking of add-ons. If you found an add-on perhaps you could mention what it is, so that I and other might know it exists.
You appear to be under some misconceptions,
!. Moderation is about answering questions. Wrong. Moderation is about deleting questions, editing comments that do not meet the guidelines for the forum and banning users.
2. Searching add-on is someone elses job.
3. Someone is getting paid to accept your criticism. I am not.
If I as a fellow user an ignorant of an add-on then tough luck for those I advise. They should have been resourceful enough to search for add-ons before they asked the question. I can only tell people what I know. -
Adobe flash player not working for youtube
Hi,
While I was trying to install Adobe Flash Player for Microsoft Internet Explorer, the installation process got stuck half way and I tried to terminate the installation. But I had difficulty even terminating the installation process and IE and my computer crashed together. Normally I use Firefox to surf the internet, however after the computer crashed and when I restarted my computer, Youtube videos just couldn't be played in Firefox. What I have since done was to upgrade Firefox to 3.6.18 and I have uninstalled + reinstalled Adobe Flash Player. However that still doesn't solve the problem. The Youtube webpage only shows a black box with no control boxes. However other websites e.g. Metacafe, which uses Adobe Flash Player to play video files are working perfectly fine. This is highly puzzling to me and very frustrating. Could anyone please help me with it? .
How do I mark this thread as a question?
Now, I was reading other threads and came across 1 suggestion to change the http:// to https:// and now the youtube videos can be played. How amazing :O. But that would mean that everytime I have to manually change the URL to access the video. This is so strange. Any suggestion what has happened? Thanks.Hi, Since youtube/Google have not responded to the issue, no one knows for sure what their problem is. This is what I found and posted here last night. Then what I found and posted this morning, which you evidently found about the https.
It appears either one or both are being used to try solving the issue. It's been users coming up with these, not youtube nor Google. It effects all browsers, even Chrome. The only one I haven't seen so far is Safari. Flash Player version doesn't matter, nor Operating Systems.
From last night:
YouTube just updated their video player, so the old version could still be cached in your browser causing it to fail. I would suggest rebooting, and if that's already done then make sure your drivers are up to date.
If that does not work make sure you download the new version of flash. Posted3 hours ago
No, I had the exact same problem but it worked the second I cleared my internet cache which could have to do with what another user above said about that.
Go to tools, options, clear recent history, and only check the 'cache' option, clear now, okay, and then refresh or exit it and open it again. I didn't even have to restart my browser. I'm using firefox too, by the way. Good luck! I hope this helped! Posted 2 hours ago
From today 7/7/11:
Now youtube is having major issues as you could read from what I posted. There is nothing wrong with your computer nor Flash Player. Here is what many users are doing in addition to clearing the cache, history etc.
They are using https instead of http. So try it. Here is one that you can check to see if it works. If so, use the https until youtube/google respond.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1RiMHpUi1w
Until we hear from youtube or our own Flash Player Team, since I'm sure they are in touch with youtube, I don't know what else to do.
My guess is, that if youtube changed their video player for the videos, then that would be a factor. Right now it is a wait and see.
Thanks,

Adobe Flash Player not working for Armorgames Dead Zone
I used to play Dead Zone on Armor Games a while ago, when I recently attempted to start again, it will not start. I have followed all the troubleshooting steps provided by both you and Armor Games. I can load the game on facebook but it does not have my save file. I normally use IE and I get stuck loading with this screen if I try to http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r786/adam_smiley1/IEArmorGames_zps7ad1f35f.png if I attempt to use FF I get this error instead http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r786/adam_smiley1/FFArmorGames_zpsf81f75d4.png. FF will never recognize that I have ANY version of Flash installed in this case. I have also contacted Armor Games Support for this Issue. I do not have troubles with any other game, just this one. Please Assist.
