Safari cannot download adobe flash player

when i try to view tv programs on my 2nd generation ipod touch i'm informed that the adobe flash player is needed. when i try to download the flash player i get the error message that safari cannot download the file. what might be causing that problem and what can be done about it?

then why does apple advertise that videos can be downloaded and viewed on the touch?
Because it's true.
Flash is only one of the many video formats available online. The iPod touch supports many open video formats (they are listed on the specifications page).
Flash is a proprietary format owned by Adobe - it is not an open standard.
You can view videos, films, music videos etc. from the iTunes Store, and also any web-site that uses the standard MP4 format. There are also 1000's of videos in the YouTube application. You can also convert your own videos and view them on the iPod touch.

    Hi
    I have only recently purchased a Satellite L series notebook. I have successfully downloaded Adobe Reader but I can't seem to download Adobe Flash Player 9. Has anyone else had similar problems? Or can anyone else give guidance?
    Many thanks

  • I cannot download adobe flash player to my comuter

    This problem has been occurring and reoccurring since November 2012, I receive a message on my desktop stating that I need to update my adobe flash player. I click to do this and am transported to the adobe flash player download site. I click the "download now" tab and receive the download instructions page. When the popup window appears I select "save file" as instructed. I am then transported to the Firefox download list where I double click the flash player install highlighted in blue. The next pop up window asks if I want to "run file". I click "run file" and nothing happens. (alternatively I get a pop up window that asks me to continue if I am the administrator and I click "continue" and nothing happens) The pop up windows previously mentioned list the source of the download as C:/users/"my name"/downloads and when I click "details" it says (sic) C:/users/"my name"/ downloads remove C:/file/users etc. Sometimes I will get a message saying file cannot be found at C:/users etc. Of course not, because the file is in firefox downloads and not in my user download file. Is there a way to fix this? The flash player is not listed under firefox plugins so I cannot disable it or change it. Incidentally, other download files for updates etc are working without issues, I did have to disable the adobe reader plug in so that I can view PDF files on other internet sites. I have Vista sP2 on Dell XPS 420 with Firfox version 18.01

    You actually have the most Recent Flash player, so I'm not sure why you are getting a notice. Try to Reset Firefox [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

  • Cannot download Adobe Flash Player on Equium M40X-189

    I am unable to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player on my Equium M40X 189.
    This is needed for many applications, and has recently become absolutely essential as BBC radio now only broadcasts on the internet via BBC i-player, which I cannot use without Flash Player.
    I searched for help on this problem a while back and the advice then was that the BIOS needed to be updated.
    I have today checked with the official Toshiba site, and it seems my BIOS is the current version and does not need updating.
    Is there anyone out there who can help me solve this problem?
    Many thanks

    Sorry - perhaps I didn't spell out the problem correctly. I have tried downloading from all sort of pages on the web, including the official Adobe site and BBC Radio. I have also taken the Adobe advice and checked that I have uninstalled all other version of Flash Player before atempting to download. The same thing always happens - the download seems to start OK, but I get to the bit where the Adobe page says something like "when you can see the movie playing in the box above the installation is complete". Trouble is the movie never plays, and the player has not been installed.

  • Cannot download Adobe Flash Player onto Windows 7 64 bit

    Firstly, I'm not technically minded and having read some of the other posts, am having difficulty working out what they mean.....sorry   Up until recently I was able to watch videos on my laptop with no problems but more recently I'm being advised to download the latest version of Adobe Flash player 11.1.  I'm going through the motions of downloading, the pop-ups tell me it's installed successfully and it certainly appears on my program list. But, still, various sites are insisting I don't have it and I need to download it.....can anyone help?  i have uninstalled the previous versions but this seems to have made no difference.   Apologies if I've used the wrong terminology in this question - I hope you know what I'm meaning though!

    Try a clean install, as described in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315

    cannot download adobe flash player on firefox it says i need to disable firefox first? If i have to disable how do i do it.

    Download and installation are two separate steps. The Adobe Flash '''installation''' procedure requires that Firefox be closed before installing Flash.
    orange Firefox button > '''''Exit''''' or File > Exit to close Firefox. Then wait a minute or so before starting to install Flash.

  • When is it possible to download adobe flash player ?

    I think it is too bad that you cannot download adobe flash player on your iPhone4
    Why should this be such a problem ? You can do it on any computer, but not on your iPhone.
    Please do something about it, or I will change to android, where it is no problem at all.
    I really think you are wearing "too small shoes" not having this application as a opportunity.
    Hope there are others in this community, who feels the same way.

    "Why should this be such a problem ?"
    Because Adobe does not make a flash player for iphone.
    "Please do something about it, or I will change to android"
    Are you aware that you are not addressing Apple here at all?  We are iphone users like you.
    Change to Android if you like, because there is no reason at all to believe that this will ever happen.

  • HT2506 After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer

    After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer anymore. Any ideas would be helpful thanks

    Merely clicking the Preview icon in the Dock doesn't cause it to open anything, unless you had one or more windows open the last time it quit.
    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.
    1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, 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. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    2. 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.
    3. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    4. 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.
