Installing Adobe Flash Player Update 10.3

This is my fist time here. I have a HP Pavilion Windows XP computer. My access to the  Internet is only through the latest version of Mozilla Firefox.
When I try to play a video connected to a news story, etc, I get this small box asking if I  want to install Adobe Flash Player Update 10.3. When. I click on yes, I get another box saying I have to close Mozilla Firefox. Well if I close that, I have no Internet connection. Sort of Catch 22. Don't know why Adobe wants me to close my Internet connectiion and then to try to install its software. Not doable as far as I know.
Are recommendations for dealing/resolving this situation?

You're posting to the wrong forum. This forum is about Acrobat on the
Windows platform, not about Flash.
However, usually the internet connection is not dependent on the browser.
You have an internet connection and you just use the browser to access the
internet, so there shouldn't be a problem downloading and installing Adobe
Flash even with Firefox closed.

  • I can't download/install Adobe Flash Player update version 11.7.700.169.

    I have tried several times to download and install Adobe Flash Player update version 11.7.700.169 without success. My OS is Windows XP with SP3 and my web browser is Internet Explorer. My current Adobe Flash Player version is 11.6.602.180. In the Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player IE window I unchecked the checkbox "Yes, install Chrome as my default browser and Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer - optional"  and clicked [UpdateNow]. Then I followed the installation instuctions. When I tried to run the installer I got an Internet Explorer Script Error dialog box.
    I then clicked yes on the Scrippt Error dialog box and it closed. The new version did not install. I still have the old version.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Download and run the offline installer(s) from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header (under the heading Progress bar hangs...).

  • How do I install adobe flash player update

    I've downloaded  the adobe flash player update. It says thank you, here are some more products I might like, such as photo shop etc. I don't want them.
    But I still can't play videos on youtube etc.

    First uninstall all previous versions of flash player by using Flash Player Uninstaller then install Adobe Flash Player Software.

  • Error "actionlist not found" when installing adobe flash player update

    in trying to update adobe flash player i get error "action list not found"I have win XP 32 bit. Have removed old version from my computer before downloading newer version, still will not load.

    You should by now be using Firefox 11. (You may well have updated since you posted this question).
    Possibly you have tried to download and install the FlashPlayer version intended for Internet Explorer, instead of the plugin for Firefox. (See related thread [/questions/859758#answer-228076] ''When trying to update Adobe Flash Player, message says no ActionList found.'' )
    Others may also note there is or was problem with some Flash Upgrades not being detected , but should start a new thread of your own if you have problems. See article [[Yahoo! and at&t mail say your browser is blocking Flash]]

  • Install Adobe Flash Player Update.. I do not want the Google tool bar or whatever.

    How to install w/o the Google stuff.

    I find the easiest way to install Adobe Flash is to use the manual installers. You just need to download the installer to your computer, then run it to install Flash. For more details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
    That link states you should uninstall earlier versions, as you don't have the version of Flash used by Firefox you can skip that step.

  • Should i install adobe flash player update

    I thought I heard about a virus having to do with Adobe Flash and I keep getting asked to install the updated flash player. Should I?
    Thanks,

    You should always keep up with Flash updates, because Flash can have security vulnerabilities that can compromise your machine.  (Admittedly, there has yet to be any malware that uses Flash to install on a Mac, but there's a first time for everything.)
    However, the only way you should ever update Flash is by downloading the latest version directly from Adobe's site:
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    There has been malware that pretends to be an Adobe Flash installer.  That is, in fact, where the infamous Flashback started out before switching tactics this year.  So never trust any site or e-mail that tells you that you need to update and provides a link!  Get it directly from Adobe instead.

  • I have iMac (Mavericks).  I could no longer view CNN video clips after installing Adobe Flash Player update

    Other users and guest account could still view the CNN clips but I can view the Ads and then just a black screen?  Any suggestions ?

    I uninstalled version 13 and installed the version 12 as they suggested.  Did not work.
    On my computer now I have three accounts.
    1.  Mine - Flash Player version 13 originally worked but after updating (as was suggested by onscreen prompt) it did not work with Safari.  Uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Playaer version 12 also did not work.
    2.  Second computer user can still see CNN video clips in Safari.  'This user did NOT install the update to version 13.
    3.  Guest accoount still can see CNN video clips in Safari.
    Any suggestions how to get back to the original configuration on my account.  Unfortunately, I did not know about Time Machine and did not have it set up (have subsequently tried to set it up but cannot seem to be able to select a backup disk).
    Any suggestions appreciated.

  • Running without Adobe Flash Player Updater Scheduled Task

    I'm trying to understand how to avoid installing Adobe Flash Player Updater Scheduled Task.
    I am also unable to remove the Scheduled Task using a script that works on other tasks, on the same workstations.
    Is there an mms.cfg setting that will instruct the installer to skip the Task?
    1) Uninstall the Scheduled Task from all workstations in my environment.
    2) Install future updates without the Scheduled Task.
    I have already tried mm.cfg with these lines:
    AutoUpdateDisable=1
    SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0
    It still runs the update process every hour.
    I have explained that it hasn't been causing a problem, but running this many processes on so many computers for no reason is causing some concern.
    My organization also does not allow big bang automation included with this product.
    Has anyone managed to shut off the Updater process from running?
    Thank you

    Hi Ethan,
    try creating an MST file, with Fx, Wise package studio...
    Edit the CustomAction “NewCustomAction1” added the parameter “-au 2” to the Command line argument.
    you should do that for both:
    install_flash_player_11_active_x.msi
    and
    install_flash_player_11_plugin.msi
    If you are using both of them..
    Or you can delete the scheduled task with schtask /delete "taskname"

  • Tried to install Adobe Flash Player - says old version is outdated. Why does it say blocked plug in?

    Tried to install Adobe Flash player update. Site says blocked plug- in ---so did the update work?

    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    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:
    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.

  • I installed Adobe Flash Player 11.7.700.169 onto my Macbook Air (OS 10.7.5) and when I went onto website it still read that I need update. I've tried 3x and still same message.

    I successfully installed Adobe Flash Player 11.7.700.169 onto my Macbook Air 2012 (OS 10.7.5) and when I went onto website (Morrision Planetarium-California Academy of Science) it still read that I need update. I've tried 3x and still same message.  Is there something I am doing wrong?  Quite frustrating!

    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. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 4.
    1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    2. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
    Flash Player (failing).plugin  
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    3. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    4. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    5. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    6. 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.

  • After installing Adobe Flash Player latest update unable to watch iplayer due to "plug-in failure"

    the Adobe Flash player update instruction showed on screen.  I followed the simple install instructions.  It stated everything had installed successfully, but when I tried to watch iplayer programme the message: plug-in failure appeared, and I was unable to watch any programmes and unable to even listen to radio programmes.  This has never happened before.  What should I do please? ;( 

    Adobe is working on a bug fix.  This article documents the workaround (which is to use the earlier version for now):

  • New Adobe Flash player update stops installing at 25%

    I have the latest OS update on my mac
    So I download the dmg, i double click the install adobe flash player button, I allow "open", I put in my password, and it starts installing but always freezes at 25%. Please Help!

    Hello,
    This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
    If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
    Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer, OR
    Download the stand-alone installer posted at the bottom of the http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
    If the behaviour reproduces, please clear the browser's cache and try downloading again.
    Thank you.

    Hi DanKao,
    You can try this document:
    Error "...plug-in is unresponsive" | Google Chrome | Debugging Flash Builder project
    For Mozilla:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/warning-unresponsive-plugin
    Also if there is any toolbar installed on the browser, try uninstalling it from the browser and check the performance.
    If it works then good other wise you can try the following steps:
    1. Uninstall Flash Player from Control Panel --> Programs ( Both Active X and Plugin )
    2. Download the uninstaller for Flash Player and Sockwave
    Flash Player Uninstaller
    Shockwave Player Uninstaller
    3. Run the Uninstaller for both of them.
    4. Delete the Flash Folder from the following locations:
         C:\Windows\System32\Macromed
         C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia
         C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe
    5. Download Flash Player
    http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_ 15_active_x.exe
    http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_ 15_plugin.exe
    Download Both and install.
    6. Download Shockwave Flash:
    http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/otherversions
    You need to open this link in Firefox and download the Full installer after choosing operating system and then again open the same link in IE and download the Full installer after choosing operating system.
    Thanks,
