Sites want me to download newest version of Adobe Flash Player when I already have it

I am having difficulty when at a site that I want to watch a video on (most recently a work site) and I am told I need to update Adobe Flash Player. I double check andI Have the same version I am being insructed to download. I tried going to Security under System Prefences and under Apps allowing from anywhere in case that was the problem. Still, I cannot watch the video. Any ideas of the problem?  I was just watching videos from this same work site without this coming up. I have also had it come up on other sites (less trusted than this site) and could not watch the video because of the same reason. Ihave AdobeFlashPlayer set to automatically update.

Assuming Allan's advice is not correct, and you do run the installer, I think I've heard of that problem and it involves removing the old Flash plug-ins, then install the new version. I don't use it so I don't know what they are called, but will be the /Library/Internet Plug-ins folder.
You can go here and enable HTML5 in YouTube so you don't have to use Flash: http://www.youtube.com/html5
Most(?) of the content is HTML5, but you may run into videos where you still need Flash.

    Trying to download updated version of Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Air, and "Blocked Plug-In" keeps coming up and I cannot download.

    After downloading, you need to install Flash Player. Double-click the downloaded file to install it.

    anybody having trouble installing the newest version of adobe flash player in OS 10.5? I keep getting the "unexpectedly crashed" message.

    It will not install your machine is close to 7 years old and the newest Flash Player will not install on that old of an Operating System.
    If you have flash on there already then thats probably the best your going to get.
    You can Google and see what is the latest version for your Operating System.

    I recently installed Mac OS X and got a problem. I cannot update the new version of adobe flash player. It stopped at “initializing step” (as see in the image). Can anyone please help me fix it? Thank you very much!

    Try downloading the offline installers from http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header and save them to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installers.

  • I CAN NOW... NOT DOWNLOAD YOUTUBE VIDEOS AFTER UPGRADING TO THE NEWEST VERSION OF ADOBE FLASH PLAYER

    LETS SOLVE THIS RIGHT NOW!  I UPGRADED TO THE NEWEST ADOBE FLASHPLAYER AND NOW I CANNOT DOWNLOAD, USING MY REALPLAYER, ANY YOUTUBE VIDEOS WHICH I HAVE ENJOYED DOING FOR THE LAST, LIKE, 5 ******** YEARS!!!!  MY FAITH IN ADOBE HAS JUST BEEN SHATTERED!  PLEASE KEEP ME AS AN ADOBE CUSTOMER AND KEEP ME FROM SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER.  FIX THIS PROBLEM PLEASE!!!

    That's NOT (Repeat: NOT) a Flash Player caused phenomenon. YouTube is converting ALL their videos to HTML5 and RealPlayer (which is pure unadulterated garbage IMHO) isn't able to download them now, and won't be able to until they update their software to handle the format change.
    Since Adobe DOESN'T run YouTube (Google does) they can't do anything about this. YOU CAN.
    If you use Firefox, you can download AntVideoDownloader and use it to download YouTube videos.
    1. It's a plugin, and NOT a full applicaiton, so it takes up less space on your HD.
    2. It works with Flash Player (unlike RealPlayer which is a competitor program)
    If you don't use Firefox, sorry. AntVideoDownloader DOESN'T work with IE, or Chrome.

  • Can't download new Version of Adobe Flash player.

    I keep getting a message "Blocked Plug-in" anytime I download a video.  Then a screen tells me to download an updated version from the Adobe website.  But after pushing download button the download does not work.  What can I do to get this problem corrected?  Do I need to turn off my antivirus software?

    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 can't seem to install newest version of Adobe Flash player on IE 10.

    When I click download nothing happens.  I've tried turning off popup blocker but that doesn't change anything.

    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Right click... Save the appropriate file (don't run it).

  • Why directed to download flash player when I already have it?

    this is my first problem encountered while downloading Adove Flash Player. I was trying to watch video on you tube. after i clicked the start button to begin, it asked to download "Adove flash player" to watch this video. I was never asked to do this. I tried to download it anyway. After  running 99 seconds and 1 sec left, it paused. I clicked pause box it changed to running security scan. I clicked run again.Then "user account control dialog box came up and asked if I want to allow the Flash Player to change settings. I clicked yes. Then the Flash Player Installer window appeared and it shows that Chrome is already installed in my computer. Is there anyone who can help me with this?. I tried several times with same results. Thanks in advance.

    Hi, Pat
    Thankx for your reply. I was away busy doing other things. My OS is window 7 and it happened only with ATT.Yahoo. When I clic video on You Tube, it says  I need Adove Flash Player installed in red box. And right beside it, there was another note and it says "You are using outdated browser, which You Tube no longer supports. Since some features on You Tube may not work. You are viewing a lightweight version of the video page. Go back to the regular page.". When I clic the " go back to the regular page" viedeo started to play. It never happened before until I reported on Wednesday. Same video played normal on Google Chrome. My current Adove Flash Player is 11 Active X.

  • I just downloaded firefox, and am being asked to download adobe flash player. I already have this app.

    nuff said. Why does firefox not recognize the app? why is it asking me to save download (zip file?) instead of just downloading file when prompted? I'm tempted to just give up and let google chrome keep spying on me. At least that service didn't literally start giving me headaches the minute I downloaded

    There's two versions of Flash. The ActiveX version for IE and the Plugin version for most other browsers. Firefox needs the Plugin version.
