Why can't I install Adobe Flash player? Everything was fine until your latest version about 2 weeks ago. I'm missing out on a lot of stuff. Thanks for your help.

Ever since I upgraded firefox about 2 weeks ago I no longer have Adobe Flash so a lot of my e-mails won't even open up. I can't get anything from YouTube. When I try to install Adobe Flash Player I get a message that says since I have Mozilla I can't get it. Is there a work around?
Thanks

You have Shockwave Flash 7.0 r19 installed for Firefox, in addition to Shockwave Flash 10.2 r153. You need to get rid of that old version which is overriding Firefox from using the later version.
See if you can remove that old version from the Control Panel > Add /Remove Programs. If it isn't listed there, remove the NPSWF32.dll file for that version from the \Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\ folder - (right-click that file and open Properties and then view the Version tab to verify it is that old version of Flash, if you have more than one of those files in that folder.)

  • Why can I not install Adobe Flash Player on my computer ?

    I am not able to install Adobe Flash Player on my computer. I have uninstalled a previous version. The new version says the installation was successful, but there is no installation.

    Hi, I don't know. It is not too helpful to only know that you have a computer.

  • Why can't I install adobe flash player in my phone?

    In the internet I want to watch TV channel so when I click the link but need adobe flash player but I can't install even not available in app store

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
    Puffin
    SkyFire
    Photon Flash
    Browse2Go
    iSwifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

  • Why can't i install adobe flash player 10.2

    i have vista, 34 bit; sp 1; IE8.   i have adobe 8, which came installed on my computer.
    i am trying to install adobe 10.2, and get as far as step 2.   after seemingly downloading everything, i get the message "error: installation failed."
    how do i continue with this download?
    (p.s., i did look this up in the forum, but find only help for people with windows.   maybe i need better glasses.)

    The downloads are probably .dmg files (disk images).  You would open the disk image (double-click it) to find the application or an installer.  If it's the application itself, you then drag the application to your Applications folder to "install" it.  If it's an installer, double-click the installer to run the installer that installs the application.
    NOTE:  If you iMac is Intel, it's not a PPC G5.

    Why can't I download adobe flash player, I have tried everal times

    The download does not install Flash. You should find the downloaded file in your Downloads folder. Double-click on the .dmg file then double-click on the installer icon once the disc image has been mounted.

    Because eight years ago, when Apple developed it, Steve Jobs was adamant that iOS NEVER EVER EVER be compatible with Flash. That... will never change.
    Apple says to use "SkyFire" as your browser if you must view Flash content (which they do not recommend you do with an iPad). It's free in the App Store.

    Hi Vickie,
    As Kirsti mentioned, getting your OS and any error message will be helpful.  In addition you might want to review this help document which covers the common installation errors:

    Why can't I download adobe flash player on my I pad?

    There is no Flash Player for iOS.
    Why did you post this in the forum for Adobe Reader?

  • Why can't I add adobe flash player to my iPad?

    Why can't I download adobe flash player to my iPad?

    Because Adobe has never made a version of Flahs that can run on an iOS device like an iPad.
    You can try out a Flash supporting Browser like Photon or Puffin and see if you can view whatever you are trying to view through there.

  • Why can I not install adobe flash, I get a message saying it will not install while firefox is runing

    When I try to download adobe flash player everything goes fine and the download finishes. When asked to install I get a message that says it will not install while an application is running. Which is Mozilla Firefox

    Adobe Shockwave Flash needs to install plugins for Firefox, and Flash needs to do that with Firefox closed. So close Firefox and run the Flash installer.

  • 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...).

  • Why can't I install the flash player on my Kindle Fire???

    I have tried several times to install the flash player on my Kindle Fire but it keeps telling me there is an issue opening the download. How am I able to download it yet am unable to install it. It makes no sense to me why it would be able to download yet not be able to open the installation. Is this a problem that is being fixed? I've tried to "troubleshoot" this issue myself but there is little information on it. If the Kindle Fire is unable to install the Adobe Flash player then there needs to be some changes made either on your companies part or Amazons. There are apps offered on the Kindles that need this flash player in order to operate. If you could back to me with an answer as soon as possible I would greatly aprreciate it. Thank you.

    Hi,
    Although we continue to provide security and patch releases for Android devices which originally shipped with Adobe Flash Player, new feature development for the Android browser has drawn to a close as we shift our focus to Adobe AIR for mobile applications. For more details on the rationale for our decision I refer you to the following article.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/flash-focus.html
    The following article describes how to manually install the Adobe Flash Player manually on your Android device.

    Another alternative is to install the SkyFire browser, which appears to support Flash Video.
