You aren't running Internet Explorer in Windows 8. Yes I am.... How do I fix this?

So I'm in 8.1 and get this error when trying to do anything that uses Flash.

This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

    Back up all data.
    Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    defaults delete com.apple.dock single-app && killall Dock
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.

    just bought an imac  cannot view you tube videos keeps telling me to download adobe flash player 10 how can i fix this

    Good morning.
    Apple no longer includes Flash with the new Macs.  So, if you run into things that require Flash you must, if you want to view them, go to the Adobe site and download the Flashplayer as Paul_31 suggested.
    Enjoy your day.

  • Installer comes up as black screen on Windows 8 but does nothing, How can I fix this?

    When I download the reader installer screen pops up, but it is black and doesn't do anything. How do I fix this?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • When using Firefox 3.6.6 with Windows 7 operating system, Windows will close Firefox. How do I fix this?

    I am using Firefox 3.6.6 on a Windows 7 PC. About once a day. I get a Windows error message saying that it had to close Firefox. How do I fix this? I have toolbar for Firefox, Google toolbar for Firefox, Java Console 6, Java Quick Starter 1, OneClick YouTube downloader. StumbleUpon 3.64, and Trend Micro Toolbar 1.6.0.1126

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] and go to '''Tools->Addons->Extensions''' and try disabling Trend Micro Toolbar.

  • Windows\system32\softpub.dll is either not designed to run on windows or contains an error. how do i fix this so i can launch my itunes app

    every time I try to open itunes i get this message, C:\windows\system32\softpub.dll is either not designed to run on windows or contains an error. what should i do to fix this problem.

    I suggest that you reinstall the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 redistributable https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555
    If you are on a 64-bit system you should also install the x64 version http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13523

  • Every upgrade I've had to deinstall itunes and reinstall it to take.  I deleted it this time and keep getting a windows installer package error.  How do I fix this?

    Every time I've had to upgrade itunes I get an error that states:
    "There is a problem with this Microsoft Installer package.  A program required for this install to complete could not be run.
    Contact your support personnel or package vendor"
    To get around this I've had to uninstall and reinstall itunes which worked just fine.  This time I unistalled it and it will not install at all now.
    Ever install meets the same error as the above.  I've deleted the temp files as they've suggested but with no luck.  There doesn't seem
    to be a really good answer out there for this issue after doing some research.  Most of it appears out of date or too techy for me too follow.
    Anyone have some simple advice a lay person could use to fix this issue?

    See Uninstall here  >  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/install/
    You are only replacing the Application.. so the Library should be fine...
    Having said that... it is Prudent to Always have at least One Current Backup of your Precious Music... 2 is better...
    So...Before doing Any Upgrade or Reinstall...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive...

  • Hi my security questions aren't mine so now I can't purchase any apps how do I fix this

    How do I fix my security code on my account because the ones that are there aren't mine and to reset them it shows someone else's email?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • I have a dual boot with Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows 7, with linked profiles. When I upgraded to 4.0, my tabs and settings would show in Windows, but not Ubuntu. How do I fix this?

    This worked when I first installed and booted in Ubuntu. When I booted in windows, my tabs which were open in Ubuntu opened in Wndows. But, when I booted back into Ubuntu, all of my tabs and pinned tabs were gone, as well as the firefox button. My bookmarks and firefox background remained, but none of my tab settings.

    Norton is due to release a patch for both IE9 and Firefox 4 in May. See [http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-compatibility-with-IE9-and-FF4/td-p/420020 Norton compatibility with IE9 and FF4]
    To revert to 3.6.16, do the following.
    * Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.16] and download it to the desktop.
    * Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to Mozilla Firefox and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
    * Then reboot and delete the folder called Mozilla Firefox at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    * Finally run the installation file you downloaded.
    Actually, Firefox 4 does have a means of identifying untrusted sites. See [[Site Identity Button]]
