Adobe Flash 11.4.402.278 causes browser lockups & erroneous download requests

I've installed Adobe Flash Player 11.4.402.278 on multiple Windows 7 Pro computers. After the install, various websites (i.e. MSN.com, Yahoo, YouTube) lock up when trying to open. This problem occurs in both IE9 & Firefox. The workaround in IE9 is to disable the Adobe Flash Shockwave add-on. Secondarily, users repeatedly receive requests to download Flash even though it is already installed. To make matters worse many video files will not play even after the user reloads Flash 11.4.402.278. Does anyone know how to revert to an earlier version of Flash? I didn't have these problems with the previous version (.265, I believe).

>Chris - I've installed 11.4.402.287 logged in as Domain Administrator on the HP laptop, then logged in as the regular user, and web browsing all ok now. So it looks for now the issues I've been specifically experiencing have been resolved. However, I think I will in future incorporate some acceptance testing before I start deploying future version of Flash everywhere!
> quarky422 - In the specific cases I reported I had the described problem and solution that worked for me, and the latest release has hopefully fixed that issue for good. With the plethora of machine configurations out there I guess everyone has unique issues, but my approach is simple: if it worked before something was updated, start rolling back until you identify the cause. It took me a few hours to identify the issue and I went down the wrong track initially (thought it was to do with a web site the customer visited then I also visited on a different computer and had the same problem, but when reports came in from other users I knew that couldn't be the cause). I really thought it was down to a Java update, so uninstalled that and Flash and it worked. On the next machine just removed Flash and it worked, so re-installed Flash while logged in as the user, and it still worked. This link
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4323109 seems to be a fix though I have not tried it as the latest version fixed my particular problem, so may fix yours as well? You don't say if you are logging in as Domain Admin or Local Admin.

I am trying to use sites on the internet which require Adobe Flash Player, but when I click on the free download, it says that Apple does not support this application, so I cannot use it. This stops me viewing quite a few interesting things. Any ideas?

I am trying to use sites on the internet which require Adobe Flash Player, and when I click for a free download it says that "it is not available for your device because of restrictions that Apple has put in place". Any suggestions on how to overcome this?

Flash is not, and probably never will be, supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus it would be up to Adobe to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, something which they have never managed to do and which they have now given up on trying to do.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin '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, so your could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app).

Adobe Flash Player 11 NOT working after several attempts to download, uninstall, & reinstall

I have problems with Adobe Flash Player 11 NOT working after several attempts to download, then uninstall, & re-install.
I uninstalled the previous versions of Adobe Flash Player from my computer PRIOR to attempting to install the new 11 version, so now I'm unable to view videos, etc.,
I'm using Windows Vista 32 bit, Internet Explorer 9.0 (which I closed when I got error messages during Adobe Flash Player 11 Installation. I've disabled my AVG -Virus also during the installation of Flash Player 11.
FYI, I'm not computer savvy so the YouTube video by Adobe Tech was too complicated to follow AND I'm unable to view (DUH!) it since I have no Flash Player program installed (doesn't make sense!) .
Thanks for keeping it simple (KISS for me).

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling some 30 times now ..rebooting, you name it.
I haven't been able to use flash since Adobe kindly shoved that latest update down my computer's throat.
Right after getting the 'successful' installation message I restart IE9 ..go to my channel on youtube and immediately get the message:
The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback.
Get the latest Flash Player
I tried Chrome and on two or three it worked but then even after closing out of them ..Chrome slowed down to a crawl and finally informed me that Flash had stopped working.
This has entirely wasted 3 nights of my time. It is 2:30 am and I should have had at least 2hours sleep already to rise at 6:30 but no, thanks this I'm still up and no doubt millions of other computer users are having just as much fun.. Everyone I know that allowed the updates to install ..is having the same problem ..Chrome/IE9/Firefox ...you can truly call it Adobe's Universal Cluster ...
I live with Adobe. At work we have 6 fully Adobied LR4/CS5 & 6/InDesign workstations. I'm a photographer using nothing but Adobe products and quite frankly I feel this is the worst treatment you have ever given your customers.
Please stop the CYA and just fix the damm thing! I realize you didn't write it Chris but surely you can get Adobe management to address this instead of just trying to get their users to try and debug it for the airheads that released it. Has anyone stopped to consider the financial damage being done due to videos not playing the ads that support the sites and no doubt stream revenue to Adobe? These guys have rolled the online experience back 5 years minimum and Adobe will probably pay the price for it. Re-issue a working version and go back to the drawing board!

Videos won't play in Safari. Notice says, "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video." I have downloaded it, but no change. All videos play OK in firefox, but I like the controls in Safari better and want to stay with it.

Hi Sandra,
you'll need to edit the security settings to install programs 'Mac App Store and identified developers'
Open the Systems Preference and go to Security & Privacy. There will be a section in the 'General' tab for 'Allow apps downloaded from:" The default selection is 'Mac App Store'. Change this setting to 'Mac App Store and identified developers".

How to permanently disable this message: "Press Esc to exit full screen." (by Adobe Flash Player) in Mac's Safari Browser?

Hello everyone,
I have been searching for sometime (without any success) for a solution to permanently remove this annoying message: "Press Esc to exit full screen."
Whenever I go to full screen mode, watching any video on YouTube, BBC, CNN (or many other websites which use Adobe Flash Player for streaming video) I have to bare seeing this message for several seconds until it fades away. Seeing this message once or twice would have been okay, but as we all watch many videos on a daily basis on internet, after weeks, months and now years seeing this message over and over again many times every day, it becomes very annoying, and I find myself rewinding many videos to their beginning after this message fades away to be able to watch it from the beginning without anything obstructing it!
Does anyone know how to "permanently" disable this message from appearing?
I am using the latest version of Safari 6.0 on the latest version of OS X (Mountain Lion 10.8.1), and have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (Plug-in version 11.4.402.265) installed on my new MacBook Pro 15" with Retina Display.
Thanks,
Ally

Thanks Carolyn,
I am attaching a screenshot here for you to see that this setting was already set to what you suggested. I didn't need to change it as it was like this even before I post this message.
So the problem still presists and unfortunately your suggestion is not a solution to this probelm.
Last night I did more reseach and found a discussion in Adobe website, it seems a lot of other people have the same issue, and even started a discussion in Adobe website about it. But unfortunately Adobe refuses to address it and enable the end user at least to have an option to turn this message off from displaying permanently on his/her computer.
I am writing down the url links for the two posts regarding this issue on Adobe's website:
Link #1: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/921270
Link #2: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3058752
Hopefully more people will get involved and ultimately we will either get Adobe's attention, or someone will find a "hack" and post it here for all of us. I have found some suggested "hacks" for Windows environment (you can simply google it, I am sure you will find them too). But so far I haven't seen anything for Mac's Safari browser.
Cheers,
Ally

What can I do about my Adobe flash crashing which in turns causes my Plugin Container to Hog the CPU and Mem?

Ok. I have read several different fixes on several different forums, but so far I haven't heard of a solid fix. My Adobe Flash Plugin keeps crashing on my computer. Its getting slightly irritating. I have been to the Adobe forums and the only answers I seem to get over their is finger pointing at your Graphics card being the problem. I know mine isn't because it is brand new. I can run any top end game on my system and my system will barely lag if at all, so I know it isn't memory and Graphics related, yet when I go to load a few tabs on Facebook, The Browser will start lagging real bad and eventually either hang completely or Adobe Flash will crash. I don't believe it is a Firefox issue, although the New Firefox Beta's do have issues they are working on resolving. I firmly believe it is either a compatibility issue somewhere between Adobe or it is just a programming problem in Adobe. I dunno tho. Like I said It is getting really frutrating having to send an error report and either reload the page or shut the browser down completely and restart the Firefox. Does Anyone have any ideas as to whats going on or any Solid fixes? Please don't tell me to talk to the people over at Adobe again. lol. If I hear Its a problem on your end one more time I will scream. lol.

Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''' and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools '''('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' as well as Firefox's hardware acceleration which can also be manually disabled via '''Tools''' > '''Options '''> '''Advanced '''> '''General '''> '''Use hardware acceleration when available'''. If it is okay in safe mode + all plugins disabled except Flash, you can try to narrow down the cause from there.

Trouble installing latest Flash 11.4.402.278

I don't know what I'm doing wrong in installing Flash Player 11.4.402.278. I have Windows XP 7, 32-bit, and use Mozilla Firefox. When I download, I save the file, although it doesn't show on Downloads list. It does show up, saved, in My Documents. The Run File box has shown once (I clicked yes), didn't run, so I left-clicked, got Run File, again clicked yes, and got "Only 1 single instance of this application can run". Since I've been trying, I then deleted the one other time the same downloaded file showed up in My Documents, so there's 1 file. Proceeded a step (got through Run file), then got "Certificate of authentication failed." What to do? Thanks.

Adobe Flash Player 11.5 r502 causes CPU overload

Every time I start my MacBook Air, the fans go to high speed and Adobe Flash Player causes the CPU to run at 300% until I quit that process. Version is 11.5 r502 which has a date 12/11/2012. Problem is that without Adobe Flash Player none of the videos on CNN will play. Is anyone else having this problem? Any fix? Thanks!

I'd recommend trying the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:

Some questions about the limit of memory usage of Adobe flash player in different OS & Web Browser

Hi Adobe experts,
I'm from HP, and now using Adobe flash player making some products about massive data displaying.
For my target, I need to show more than 200 K rows in client web browser, using AdvancedDataGrid.
And that may needs more than 200M to cache the data in Web browser memory space.
So, my questions are:
Does there any memory usage limit in flash player?
Say, if we have 4G bytes of physical memory in machine, in Windows, how much can I use in flash player?
Also, if we have 4G bytes of physical memory in Linux, how much can I use in flash player?
Does it depends on the Web Browser?
Say, is there any difference between different web browsers?
If the limit exists, can we control the limit?
Say, can we define some parameters in the tag in web page to expand the limitation?
Or, can we try to control this limitation by the Flash player management which exists in the Windows Control Panel?
Best Regards

1. Yes. The Toolkit for CreateJS is an extra downloadable extension for Flash CS6. It will publish html and js files that will provide the animation instead of the swf that you would normally publish. The success or failure of the resulting javascript version of your animation is the result of working within the constraints of the toolkit. You are pretty much constrained to using the timeline in Flash for your animations. If you work only in Actionscript, then the output will be very disappointing.
2. Edge outputs javascript, css, and html to give you an animation. The user interface allows you to design within the constraints of what Edge can do. You can preview and adjust and tweek your animation as you work. Edge is an html5 tool. It can create html5 animation. It is not a replacement for Flash. It is something that you can use instead of Flash to embed animation in html.
The problems and benefits of each are unique. Neither is a good substitute to learning javascript, css and html5. If you don't understand the code that is created from each of these tools, you can easily end up with huge, bloated, files that perform poorly. I'm very biased toward actually knowing what is going on. If I need to edit something, I want to be able to go into the code and make a change, not add an additional chunk of code to work around what was there. I don't use the timeline at all, and so nothing that I have will publish using CreateJS. Well, it will publish, but nothing happens because there is nothing on the timeline to translate.
You can download a trial of Flash CS6 and try the Toolkit for yourself. Edge is still in free preview, you can get a copy at http://labs.adobe.com and try it to see how it works.
Also, if you're not using the Greensock Animation Platform with Flash, have a look at that. It has recently been extended to provide Javascript analogues for most of the Libraries. http://www.greensock.com/

Adobe flash support on toshiba 55L6200U TV browser?

Could someone from support team answer if 55L6200U will be getting adobe flash on tv browser? I just received my tv and this is the first thing I tested and found that it does not support flash. TV is awesome but no support for flash kills it.

Hello Peter,
Hope you are having a nice day! I am a very proud owner of 55L6200U. Very nice Picture Quality. Even Standard definition channels are fantastic on this TV. For HD content, this TV's PQ is no inferior to my SAMSUNG (D7000 model). It beats the Samsung on PQ on SD Channells. Even the Picture Quality on Netflix/You Tube beats Samsung. But like the other poster said, No flash support & very few Apps.
Please request for FLASH support. Every TV brand has it. I am also an owner of 55L6200U and last year's model as well (55TL515U). Last year's had FLASH support, hence should not be difficult to add.
Without Flash support, the web browser and the nice keyboard is pretty much useless. Have to connect Laptop like old TV models!
Also last year's model had SKYPE APPS, this years model doesn't. Compared to last year's model, this year has few APPS. Compared to other major brands like SAMSUNG, LG, SHARP, very very few APPS. I believe 6200 & 7200 are flagship model & hence should have good APPS & Support FLASH.
Please pass this on.
Everyone of my friends/family are impressed when they see this for the first time even second/third time. I have hidden the keyboard as otherwise they would ask ........
Also one more Question : Is Toshiba going to release bigger screens like 60" or 65" in this series?
Also do you know why Toshibha is using LG panels on this prestigious line? According to experts in AVS forum, the LED Panel in L6200 is same as in LG model LM6700 & the one in L7200 is same as LG Model LM7600. Attaching pictures from AVS Forum
Please help.
Thanks & Have a nice weekend!

I want to download adobe flash using safari on my I pad. Free download please.

Hi I would like to download adobe flash on my I pad

Flash is not supported on iPads, iPhones or iPods.
You can try one of the browser apps that support flash and see if they work for you.
Search for Puffin, iSwifter, Skyfire, Photon etc... Or simply flash player or flash browser.
