Flash player stops and starts intermittently

Does anyone know why videos stop and start intermittently. It becomes frustrating to watch and I eventually give up.

op sys win 7 adobe flash player 10
I have the same problem. it seems related to bandwidth.
i am limited in my data plan to 256 kb/sec
i did not have this problem a year ago. but had it when i used win xp as well. Today noticed a site where i could choose low speed, medium speed or high speed bandwith. i chose the low speed 265 kb and the video played flawlessly without stopping and starting
I claim no expertise and eagerly await some informed advice on whether it is possible change a setting within flash player to accomadate us low bandwith users.

Adobe flash player stopping and starting.

I have the up to date flash player but it keeps stopping and starting when watching RTE live for matches etc.

To better assist you with this issue we need to know:
What is your operating system? (Windows or Mac) (XP, Vista, 7, 8)
What browser do you use? (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari)

Player stops and starts intermitently

My player just suddenly started stopping and starting unwantedly. Player lives in a hard case with rubber coating. Never dropped, or any issue of the
sort. I have alot invested in this device, help needed please.

- 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.

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Songs stop and start intermittently

Every now and then my new 60gb iPod plays songs but they stop and start. The stop time is only a second or so and it plays from where it last stopped - the tracks aren't skipping and no play time is lost on the display. It only seems to happen when the iPod is first switched on or if I stop it to select a new artist/genre/album etc.
Anyone experienced this before?
It's a worry because my 3g has never been anything other than perfect!

I suggest for you to add all the songs to your iTunes library. Once everything is in place, sync it to your iPod. You may also try wireless syncing as well.

Flash player stop n starts on fullscreen

When i use flash player to watch video(youtube) and go to fullscreen it starts n stops, can anyone help?

Have you tried Windows Update?

The iPod on my iPhone 5 stops and starts intermittently. At one point, I couldn't shut it off using the earphone. Anyone else have same problem?

why does the iPod on my iPhone 5 stop playing for no reason? Also, I tried to shut it off using the ear phone piece but it wouldn't shut it off.
Thanks anyone for help.

Since you can't switch it off.
Put it in a dry place for a week (a rice box is a good idea) and try to use a hair air-blower (warm but not hot) to dry it.

Intermittant problems with Flash Player 7 and 8

Good morning,
While "stress testing" a recent Captivate 2 generated quiz
lesson, one of our testers noticed some odd behavior. (Granted,
most students will not do the following actions, but I thought I'd
mention it anyway.)
First let me add that we use a LMS and that this behavior
might have something to do with the LMS, but I suspect the problem
might be in how Flash Player 7 and 8 handle viewing a SWF file.
The tester would start the quiz, answer a few questions, then
close the session (before the conclusion of the quiz). The tester
(student) would then (through the LMS) go to the quiz/lesson link
and begin again. The Quiz behaviors are that the student can't go
back to any question they have already answered. In theory the
student would go back to the next unanswered question and continue
with the quiz.
The first time this is done, everything appears to work well.
However, if the same student behavior is done again, when the
quiz/lesson is re-launched the student is taken to the very first
slide, not the one where they left off. If they go to the first
question slide they will find that it appears to be unanswered. The
student then tries to answer it and nothing happens, nore can the
student move to the next question. They are "stalled" and can go no
further. Any subsequent attempt to re-enter the quiz produces the
same effect. Additionally, if this is done without restarting the
computer the browser (Internet Explorer) will hang and they'll need
to stop the process.
I found that in Captivate 2 you have 3 options for building a
solotion when you publish a project. You can publish using Flash
Player 6, 7 or 8. Only by selecting Flash Player 6 does this
behavior stop. The Flash Player 6 selection seems to work well.
Anyone else had problems with FlashPlayer 7 and 8?

Flash Player 11 sends the getServerVersion request in order to determine the capabilities of the Flash Access license server. If you are running a 2.0 server, it should return an HTTP 404 error, since it does not support this endpoint. The client understands that to mean it is communicating with a Flash Access 2.0 server, and will send the license request accordingly. In other words, the fact that your 2.0 server does not support getServerVersion should not cause the license acquisition to fail.
Is your server responding to the getServerVersion request with a 404? After the getServerVersion request arrives at your server, you should see another request asking for a license. In your server logs, do you see any errors in the license request processing?

Adobeflash player ver. 11.8.800.94.0 keeps stopping and starting during video. How do I correct this

The newly downloaded version of Adobe Flash player 11.8.800.94.0 keeps stopping and starting during video presentation. I have to keep mouse cusor moving on the screen to prevent the video stopping. The previous version I had did not have this problem. Nothing else has changed on my system. What is wrong here and how do I correct it?

I have an IMac 10.5.2 from about 5 years ago and recently my flash player stopped responding. I tried to update my flash player but it tells me I need an updated system to install the player. Can anyone help me figure out how to solve this problem?

I have an imac osx 10.5.2 from about five years ago and recently my flash player stopped operating/responding. Does anyone know if I have to install a new flash player? I have attempted it several times and it won't let me. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this problem. Do I need a new operating system?

Why have you not updated to 10.5.8?
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:

Burned DVD issues in DVD player not reading or music issues stop and start

I'm a PC converted to a MAC (less than a month) and love it so far. I have been able to create and burn a DVD. The problem I'm having is one DVD player will not read the DVD (Hitachi). The other DVD player will play it, but the music stops and starts when it transitions (twirl) to another picture (Panasonic DVD/VHS combo). I'm using a DVD R Memorex. Neither one of the player are new. Would love to use this to make the Grandparent's a DVD of the grandchildren from birth to present as Christmas present. What do I need to use or do to be able to watch on any DVD player as well as the computers?

Hi me01
Welcome to apple discussions. Try using 99 photos / less to avoid issues with audio fades / drops. Also do a search for Memorex on this forum and you'll see it's not the first choice of dvd's for most users. Instead try Verbatim, Maxell, or Taiyo Yuden and burn at 4x from a disc image for best results. Wish you luck and feel free to post back with results or any further questions.

Flash and Flash Player stopped working

My wife was working on the dotphoto.com website that used Flash. She did something that made it so that when we try to play a Show (dotphoto/s name for a slideshow) we just get a black screen. She did this on her MAC desktop machine (G5 iMac with OS 105.8). I tried to play the Show on my MAc Book Pro (Intel) with OS 10.5.8 and I now have the same problem on my machine.
The desktop machine only has Flash Player. The labtop has Flash CS3 Pro. I also realized that now when i download a .flv file from youtube to my laptop, it no longer will play in Flash, although i can play it in Quicktime with Perian plugin. I have downloaded Flash Player CS5 and I still can't play the .flv files, that used to play fine.
Any idea what could have gone wrong. Is there a preference or cache file that I could delete to see if it resets the software. Is there a way that I can download a clean version of Flash 9.0 and load it over the one that is already installed in order to reset it?
Help!
Thanks,
PianomanDave

I have the very same problem. Ever since upgrading to 24.0 I can no longer view YouTube videos on Firefox. I have no trouble with other browsers (IE and Chrome) and I can view the Flash home page. I've tried the suggestions and they do not work. Please fix!!

Flash Player requires "Kick start" to play video contents

Am presently Flash Player 11.5.502.146 on Windows 7 64 Bit with Firefox 18.0.1.
I have been having a rather odd occurence. When I go to youtube.com and select a video, all I get is a black box with no controls and nothing happens. (This also happens on other sites such as CBSSports.com) If I right click on said black box, it just says "About Adobe Flash Player 11.5.502.146" which obviously takes me to the Aodobe websight.
Here is the strange part: If I start a video on Facebook, it runs, even if I opt to open it up on youtube. Then if I select another video or close and reopen the browser, we are back to the black box. It is almost as if the other website "kick start" the player.
Another odd thing I noticed is that when working with the adobe sites troubleshooting tools (like detecting versions etc) when ever there was supposed to be a box generated from the Adobe sight with some controls or options, it would never appear. I also tried all of the solutions suggested here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_5__Delete_all _Flash_Player_browsing_data to no avail.
I have installed 11.6 beta as well as Adobe Shockwave, tried switching to IE9 as well as Chrome with no resolution.

Not sure it is the "Total Defense" Program as I tried to repeat my earlier results (too bad I did not have the forsight to write down which processes I was stopping) and started with all CA/Total Defencse processes I could locate, logging off and into my son's profile(as this is logging off seemed to be a factor in my earlier success) but have been unable to isolate what service/process is the culprit. I also tried uninstalling Itunes and all the other stuff that came with it (such as Bonjour and Apple Mobile EDevice support) as this was installed around the time this issue started but again no luck. Just this morning I had the task manager open and went to youtube and it showed 2 flashplayer related processes were running but still got the "movie not loaded" message with the right click.
I am going to install an app called Process explorer which from what I gather, gives more details than taks manager and see if that helps in my endevour.
Thanks again for your time!

Youtube loading is stop and start

I noticed that since I downloaded the latest Adobe flash player, the Youtube videos load very slowly. The loading is stop and start.
Before I installed the latest flash player Youtube videos worked well. No problem.
I repaired permissions. I even installed old versions of flash player, flash player 9 and flashplayer 10UB. I uninstalled before I installed the other versions. I made sure to repair permissions after installing.
I am back to installing the newest version and repairing permissions. After restarting the computer, Youtube videos still download in a stop and start way with a few seconds in between.
I turned off iPv6 as well. Nothing helps.
The strange thing is that Youtube videos worked well before I downloaded the latest flash player.
This is a MacBook Air rev C HDD 120GB. I have Leopard OS 10.56.
It's the same for Safari, Firefox and Opera. All browsers are up to date.

yes we have most recent adobe update installed.
but we've had some issues with the internet connection - this is our vacation place- so it's dsl and our linksys seems to be having problems - will know more later this week when new linksys unit is installed.
thank you

Every video or podcast stops and starts every second

Any help would be appreiciated, using Chrome, Windows XP Pro with SP3, Pentium 4 2.4GHz, with 2GB Ram, with Nvidia Gforce 5200 video card! Too old a system??

hi, all three are pretty much the same, and its not a buffering issue. I hav Verizon Fios and had a WUGNET speed test show download speed being 11.3 Mbps and upload of 1.24. It was possible the Html was slightly better but not by much.

That should be fine for system specs. My first guess would be network bandwidth issues. Does it seem like the video/audio buffers fast enough or does the buffer continue to run out when the item is played? Try these two links out, do either of them play better?

Flash Player installation and update questions and answers

How do I verify that I have the latest version of Flash Player?
If you receive a message that tells you that Flash Player is out of date or a new version of Flash Player is available, you can verify this by visiting the Flash Player Help page with your browser.
Simply click the "Check Now" button and you'll be presented with a short message and detailed information regarding your Flash Player installation.
Where should I download the latest version of Flash Player?
Because malware authors will often employ misleading tactics to make malware look like something you should trust, it's important to get your Flash Player updates directly from Adobe.
Please verify that your Flash Player downloads and updates come from only the adobe.com or macromedia.com domains. You can always download the latest version of Flash Player directly from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
I've selected the automatic update option in Flash Player, why do I continue to get update notifications?
Periodically, users are presented with the Flash Player update dialog notifying them that a new version of Flash Player is available for download from adobe.com.
The automatic update mechanism is used for some updates, security patches that address zero-day vulnerabilities and when users, who have selected to be updated automatically, have not updated within 45 days after a regularly scheduled update release of Flash Player.
What should I expect when I receive notification that Flash Player has an update available?
When a major update to Flash Player becomes available you will be presented with a Flash Player update dialog
After reviewing new features, pressing the Download button will open your default browser and load the Install Adobe Flash Player page.
Clicking the "Update now" or "Install Now" button will then take you to the next page which will start the download process and give instructions for completing the Flash Player install.
Finally, once the installation is complete your browser will display a page confirming a successful installation.
If you encounter installation problems, we recommend you review our Windows and Mac OS installation help documents. Further questions and information can be found on the Flash Player installation forums.
Why does Adobe Flash Player installer include the option to download additional software?
Adobe offsets the ongoing development costs of Flash Player, which is made available for free, by offering users the option to download select software from Adobe partners.
What options do I have when installing or updating Flash Player?
You have a few different options available when updating Flash Player. We recommend that you choose "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)" when initially setting up Flash Player
or by going into the Flash Player control panel and choosing this option in the Advanced tab.
Once selected, most updates will occur in the background without requiring any interaction. For those regularly scheduled major update releases, you will be presented with an update notification dialog
If you decide not to update, you will receive an automatic update within 45 days if you have the "Allow Adobe to install updates" option selected. Please note that when this update occurs, only Flash Player will be installed.
If you want to be notified about every Flash Player update, select "Notify me to install updates" when initially installing Flash Player or from the Advanced tab in the Flash Player control panel.
Finally, if you'd prefer not to receive any updates, select "Never check for updates (not recommended)". We do not recommend this option as we believe keeping your system up to date improves both security and stability when using Flash Player.
For network Administrators we offer additional update options, including the ability to host your own internal Flash Player update server. Please see our Flash Player distribution page and Flash Player Administrator guide for details.

Sunil, I just want to verify you are pointing me to the link under "Progress bar hangs during download / Unable to connect to server / Unable to download metafile."
If yes, then that is the file I originally downloaded based on a March post I saw here.
I just tried it again, and it (by "it" I mean the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers from download.macromedia.com) installed 11.6.
After the installation process completed, the dialog box notified me it was version 11.6, and when I went back to, the "find version" page, 11.6 was confirmed.
I did not download the exe for Internet Explorer, as I almost never use that browser.
