What do I do when Adobe Flash needs to be updated but Safari won't let me??

I have an iPhone 3g and every site I go on that has any kind of content that needs flash I cant view. I go through the Adobe site via the Apple.com all the way to the down load part, click install and then I get a prompt that Safari won't allow the install. Why? is their a way? Please help!!

No - this must come from Adobe.
If content on a website is provided with flash, Adobe doesn't have a flash player that is compatible with the iPhone.
If or when Adobe provides a flash player that is compatible with the iPhone - one that Apple approves, it will be included with a firmware update, or made available via the iTunes app store.

  • InDesign CS5.5 v.7.5 won't open some files because it needs plug in updates, but it won't let me upgrade

    I have InDesign CS5.5, v.7.5.  I'm trying to open a rather large file with lots of images, but it says "Please upgrade plugins/latest version", but when I tried to update it with download 7.5.1 through Adobe Patch Installer, it keeps saying "update is not applicable."  Or it will almost install and then give me an error code.
    InDesign will let me open certain files, but not the one I really need.  It was working properly a few days ago. 
    This InDesign subscription I got was in Feb 2012 though my school.  Help!

    If you are using CS5.5 it isn't part of a subscription to creative cloud (hard to tell if that's what you mean), so you may have a newer version of InDesign installed as well (they are not mutually exclusive). That said, the last patch for CS5.5 was 7.5.3, but it doesn't really matter in this case. That warning indicates the files were saved in a newer version of InDesign and cannot be opened in CS5.5.

  • My Adobe Flash plugin is fully updated but it keeps crashing when I use Facebook applications

    My Adobe Flash plugin is fully updated but it keeps crashing when I use Facebook applications. What could cause of this crash?
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often

    ''locked by a moderator due to the age of this thread - please start you own thread and provide pertinent information about your problem''

    None of the 'fixes' Adobe or Firefox have, 'fix' anything. Mine crashes once every 5 minutes... this is bulls#!@ guys. I've sworn by FF for years, but I can't get any work done with this... I'm dumping FF

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to download it right now. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

  • According to Firefox 6 my Shockwave Flash plug in needs updating but it won't let me load the adobe site properly

    Addon Manager tells me that the Shockwave Flash plug in needs to be updated but the Adobe web page does not load and just hangs.
    It also tells me that the Quicktime plug in is out of date but altho' it will connect to the Quicktime web page it does not complete the loading process.
    I have also had problems accessing my Youtube channel adn have had to use a fix I found somewhere in support.mozilla that suggested using https instead of http. This works but why on earth have I had to do this? What has gone wrong with FF6?

    Here I am replying to my own question. For the 8 people who apparently also have these problems I have solved the Adobe Flashplayer one. Or at least I am assuming that there was a causal connection between what I did and the result but, then again, who knows?
    If you have IE on your system, make sure that the Flash Active X extension is installed and up to date. Then go through the rigmarole with Firefox and updating the Shockwave Flash. It should work.
    Still no idea about Quicktime.

  • I need to restore iPhone but it won't let me until I turn off "Find my iPhone".  I can't turn that off because of the restrictions passcode.   Please help

    I have a restrictions passcode on my son's phone.   I had recently changed the code and now what I thought was the new code, isn't working.
    I need to restore the phone, but it won't let me until I turn off "Find my iPhone."   I can't turn that off without a passcode.
    Please help!

    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

  • WHen Adobe flash player wants to store data firefox will not let me respond tothe dialog box?/fiadobe flash player settings dialog boxes not reponding

    After I installed Adobe Flash 14.0.0.0.25 when I access a site that wants to store data locally, I am presented with a dialog box that gives me options: allow, deny, specify the isite. However, regardless of what I click nothing happens. it is almost like Firefox doesn't "see" the click. I went into Adobe settings manage and added the site as trusted, but that did nothing...

    Best is to allow Flash local storage globally and use the defaults.

  • Can't view certain websites due to no adobe flash player....but safari @ ipad2 cant install the flash player. How to repair this?

    Cant view certain website due to no adobe flash player but cant install flash player.
    I'm using ipad2 ios 5.0.1

    Flash is not, and probably never will be, supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus Adobe have never managed to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, and they have recently announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, and there is the built-in YouTube app.

  • Need to restore iPod, but iTunes won't let me...

    Apparently, I disconnected my iPod the wrong way (I will admit to that) and now I need to restore it. That is fine and dandy, I don't mind. But whenever I go into iTunes to perform the restore, it's giving me a funny message and it won't let me do it. It says something like not having the proper update or proper software, but the silly thing is, I don't have the option to update it and I shouldn't have to anyway, because I just got the dang thing a week ago! This is very upsetting, and I hope someone here can help. It is a 30 GB 5th gen.

    I know the difference between restoring and updating, it's just that when I go to restore it, I get two buttons. One says restore, and the other, which is faded out anyway, says update. But when I click restore, I get a message saying that it can't restore. I am actually having problems getting my computer to even recognize the iPod right now, so I can't tell you what the message said specifically. Only that it said that I could not restore the iPod because I didn't have the right kind of update or software to do so. I'll keep working on it and see if anything changes, but right now, not much progress is being made.

  • Firefox will not load videos on YouTube Mobile. It states that Flash needs to be updated, but it works fine in the Android browser.

    When I browse to YouTube mobile (http://m.youtube.com/), and click on a video, it takes me to the video's mobile page. Once I click on the video itself (to play), it redirects me to the desktop version of the same video page and tells me I need to update my Flash plugin.
    Until earlier today, it was not redirecting me to the desktop pages, but now it is.

    Sorry, Flash for Android is not yet compatible with Firefox for Android. We hope to work with Adobe to fix this in a future release.
    You can play some YouTube videos by enabling YouTube's HTML5 beta. Only videos available in the WebM or Theora formats will play in Firefox for Android: http://youtube.com/html5

  • What do I do when I get a message from iTunes and it won't let me download music

  • Always show my Adobe Flash need upgrade but it was the latest

    I visit Youtube website though Firefox however the website always shows that my Adobe Flash need an upgrade. But, my Adobe Flash was already the latest one. I try to visit the website with another browser and Youtube didn't show my Adobe Flash need upgrade anymore. What happened?

    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash; an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only and a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox. On a Windows system, you should always update both individually. '''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed; look in Add-ons > Plugins for "Shockwave Player ''(version)''".'''
    #'''Using Firefox''', go to the following direct download link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    #When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
    #Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
    #*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
    #*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
    #*The installation is quick.
    #Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

  • My plugins advise that Adobe Acrobat needs to be updated; however, when I try to update, I receive a message saying "already installed."

    I do not know what version I have, nor do I know how to find out. I do not understand any of the technical language used in the solutions already given for this problem. I try to update but it won't let me! I do restart Firefox but the red UPDATE NOW notation remains on my plugin status page.

    hey Gingerbread Man, this doesn't contradict the information i was giving - adobe is making acrobat reader 11 available to windows xp/7/8, but not for vista (which also isn't listed as supported in the system requirements that you have linked to). the last version provided to vista users at http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/ is acrobat reader 10, which is flagged as outdated by firefox.

  • What to do when Adobe is needed to play games.

    What can I do to play games when Adobe is needed?

    Do you mean Adobe flash player ? Flash is not, and probably never will be, supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ (and Adobe have never managed to create a version that works on iOS devices and they have now given up trying).
    For games the iSwifter browser app works on some flash-based games, and the Photon browser (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photon-flash-web-browser-app/id430200224?mt=8) says :
    Photon Browser allows you to play Flash games such as free Facebook games, use Flash apps, listen to music streamed via Flash player and watch Flash video.
    Whether either iSwifter or Photon do actually work I don't know as I havn't got them.
    Edit : also some games have their own app versions in the store
