Adobe flash player 10 taking forever to down load!

I have not long rebooted my whole pc as i was having a few problems. Finally i'm back up and running and i try to install adobe 10 which i have used before and had no problems downloading it only took a couple of minutes. But this time when i'm trying to download it seems to be taking forever i mean about 1% per hour and i have been unable to download it. my java script is enabled and i have 704 mb of ram. I just cant get to the bottom of it? please help.

Hi, what operating system are your using and is it 32bit or 64bit. Also what browser(s) are you using and versions please.
Did you Uninstall Flash Player using the Adobe Uninstaller prior to trying to download?
Check your Security setting for the Internet Zone and make sure it is set at Medium.
Anti-Virus/Spyware/Firewall programs, ad blockers, etc can have an affect also.
Thanks,

Adobe Flash Player 10.1 (latest) does not load video on some sites

Since updating the Flash player to 10,1,82,76 many sites with flash video does not load content and usually stays black or showing a loading icon forever. Same result in all browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox).
One example is revision3.com, where flash video never loads. However, flash video loads fine on youtube.com for instance. I have been trying to uninstall, reboot, repair permissions and install again with the no success.
Anyone experienced this and found a solution?
Thanks!

Odd. Revision3 works fine for me. In fact the opening shot of the video I tested is someone sitting at a desk with an Apple Macbook!
As you get the same error in all browsers, try uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player:
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(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://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

Please can you explain how to add adobe flash player when using Mozilla ?

I cannot view videos without them constantly stopping.
I have been told that I need to use adobe flash player.
When I try to load this, though, the download will not work.
A message apprears to say I must turn Mozilla Firefox off.
Please can you explain how I can get around this ?
Please note, I am not very good with computers, so it would be good if you can make the instructions as basic as possible.
Many thanks !

I downloaded the latest version of adobe flash player 2 versions loaded and now it's very slow and the wheel keeps spinning

My computer is running very slow, and the colored wheel keeps spinning causing pages to load slowly. I recently downloaded adobe flash player. It seems 2 versions loaded. Could this be causing the problem? How can I uninstall these programs? Thank you

Adobe Flash Player
Check Flash Version
Adobe strongly recommends that you first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html#main_1 0_4
Follow the instructions closely, such as quitting ALL applications first before installing. Repair permissions and restart your computer after the installation is completed.

My pc keeps displaying a message that I need to load adobe flash player.

My pc continues displaying a message tellin me I need to load the adobe flash player 11 when I have already loaded the software. I keep having to reload the adobe flash player and it appears that it still needs the adobe flash player while I try to play a audio file that requires the adobe flash player in order to play a audio or video file.

What is your operating system & version?
What is your web browser?

I've down loaded adobe flash player but when I try to veiw video on firefox I'm still told that I need adobe flash player. How do I get firefox to see the flash player download?

I was trying to view a video I uploaded to facebook using firefox. The system told me to down load adobe flash player. I did but still get the message that I need to down load flash player. How do I get firefox to see the down loaded adobe flash player?

by installing from within Firefox, Internet Explorer has its own version (Active-X).
Make sure you are starting in the correct place for Flash
* http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
If you want to read PDF files in you browser, you might also want
* http://get.adobe.com/reader/
After the download,
#bring up the download manager ("Ctrl+J") and start your installs. As soon as the install comes up,
#close Firefox with '''File > Exit''' or "Firefox" button > Exit. Give Firefox some time to close.
#If install does not proceed, '''terminate "firefox.exe"''' and '''"plugin-container.exe"''' from the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.
#* Windows 7 shortcut to the WTM is "Ctrl+Shift+Esc"
#* or on any Windows system from "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" then choose Windows Task Manager.
#*Make sure that "firefox.exe" is no longer running -- if it is still running then terminate it by selecting the use "End Process" button or from context menu, and do the same for "plugin-container.exe" if it is found there.
#proceed with the install.
'''Warning''': this is the Adobe site and they have chosen to to provide crapware along with their own product. Only install the product you were planning to install. Do not install additional products: including -- "Free! McAfee Security Scan Plus" or "Google Chrome". Installing Google Chrome on your own and installing it because it is offered on the Adobe site are two different things.
Find updates for your installed plugins at http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/ mozilla.com/plugincheck
-- best to use Adobe's site to really see if their plug-ins are up to date.
Please fix your caps lock or read what you type, do you think anybody could read my answer if I typed in all caps.
If the above fails to correct the problem, I would try uninstalling Adobe Flash from your system entirely first, from the control panel then "Programs and Features".

Fox tab stopped working once adobe flash player 11 was installed on my mac OS X 10.6.8 it is just a black screen. If I uninstall, fox tab shows up and says I need to down load adobe again

When I double click on the tool bar on the bottom of the black screen on fox tab, adobe settings shows up. I delete adobe then the black screen shows the fox tab again and says to view it I need to down load the latest version of adobe flash player.

Tylerdowner, as a moderator, one would think that, prior to adjusting comments/solutions, especially when not having a Mac, you would do more research (bet you know someone with a Mac, to duplicate problem), or pass responding on to a moderator who does have a Mac (I am amazed that you are even a moderator on Mac problems/situations, if you only have access to a PC). Had the solutions above worked, I would not have needed to figure out another solution (we all know the newest release of anything is the most secure). Finally I am open to any fixes (tested) that you can provide, that improve upon mine. As a moderator, maybe you have pull with the Foxtab and/or Adobe people to get them to work out compatibility, and lastly, maybe add a warning at the Foxtab add-ons page, after verifying the problem yourself, with an associate's/friend's Mac.

Adobe flash player 10.2 slows down then locks up Internet explorer 9

I have new windows 7, IE9 (which is great), but when new adobe flash player 10.2 installed, slows IE9 a lot and after switching to a few different sites, locks up IE9 completely. This is on all 3 of our computers. Uninstall newest flash player, IE9 runs smooth and fast once again. I have tried all ways, to install player first, then update IE8 to 9, and vice versa, nothing changes the outcome is always the same. I love IE9 because it's so much faster loading than IE8, but this flash player issue is a real headache and can't figure out why. Is there a patch for this? What is the problem? Thanks for your help

Okay, thanks for your advice, which gratefully turned out to be good advice! I downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.32 assuming that Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.32 would replace my previously existing Adobe Flash Player 10.1.102.64 installation in my Mozilla Firefox Web browser. At a similar time that Web browser was updated from version 3.6.13 to version 3.6.14 of it. In Firefox's "Tools" menu's "Add-ons" I could then see "Shockwave Flash 10.2.152.32" and "Shockwave 10.2r152" listed and assume that those are two designations of the same add-on. In 32-bit Windows XP Home Edition I returned my Hewlett Packard notebook computer's S3 Graphics TwisterK HP card's video memory to 16 MegaBytes (MB) via "Start, Control Panel, Display, Settings, Advanced, S3Info Plus" and on the drop-down list box selecting 16 MB instead of 32 MB; after that I clicked on "Apply" and in the successful change clicked on "Yes" to a necessary restart of my computer to effect the change, and may or may not have clicked on one or two "OK"s. I tested the new Flash Player by playing and watching a portion of the movie under "Adobe Flash-Video Test" on the Web page http://www.chemgapedia.de/vsengine/info/en/help/requirements/flash.html. The video and audio signals of the movie there gratefully appeared to be fine, other than the not-surprising waiting periods for data to be received on my computer from the Internet using my slow, but cheap dial-up Internet service. Thanks again for what proved to be good advice for me!

Will downloading adobe flash player slow down my mac

Hi, i have a macbook pro 13 inch. Its my first mac and still figuring some stuff out but i want to be able to go on youtube, but when i pull up youtube it says i require adobe flash player; is there a way to get youtube videos without downloading flash. If not i dont mind downloading it, just would like to know if it will slow down the speed of my mac before i do download flash.

No, installing Flash will not slow down your machine. Make sure it is up to date so there are no security problems.

Problem with the adobe flash player, its falling down, what to do?

Its always falling down almost immediately when i hear music. I have tried to update Adobe Flash player and so on. But it still not working, its strange but i have been thinking if Mozilla doesn't ''allow'' the adobe flash player. Do I need maybe change Firefox to something else??

Is it only the sound or do you have other problems with Flash as well?
See [[No sound in Firefox]] and [[Video or audio does not play]]
You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.
You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.
You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.
You can also try to uninstall and reinstall Flash.
Troubleshoot Flash Player installation for Windows: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
Flash Player uninstall: http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157 (this will remove the Firefox Flash plugin and the ActiveX control for IE)

How do you delete programs?

If Flash Player is indeed the problem I would suggest using the Adobe Uninstaller.
Have you tried using a different browser such as Chrome, Firefox or Safari to see if they have a problem with Flash?

HT5271 Downloaded latest Apple updates that informed me old versions of Adobe Flash Player were disabled and advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before.

Downloaded latest Safari update that informed me that older versions of Adobe Flash Player were being disabled and then advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before. (Instead of opening, it comes up as a page of code).

Hi..
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Delete All
Now select the Storage tab.
Click Delete All
Relaunch Safari to test.

Sure. That's about as valuable a suggestion as a screen door on a submarine.

How can you possibly say that the inability to receive web content is a "feature." This could very well be content that the user needs. What's wrong with a "Click-to-Flash" mechanism to pacify the Apple fanboys/fangirls?
