Adobe Flash Player 9 Removal Issues

Hi everyone,
I am attempting to upgrade Adobe Flash Player 9 to version 10 on my MacBook, and have been unsuccessful so far at both removing the old version and installing version 10. I have repaired disk permissions several times, restarted, even manually removed Flash Player 9, or at least I thought I did. The problem is that Flash Player 9 is still there, and while both the version 9 uninstaller and the version 10 installer appear to run successfully, I cannot seem to find version 10. Are there any steps I'm missing here? I'm relatively new to Macs, this is my first one since switching from Windows last year and haven't had any problems until now. FWIW, my Flash Player 9 came bundled with Adobe Flash CS3 if this is relevant to the situation.
Please let me know as any help would be appreciated!

Thanks Kappy for your quick response, sorry for not providing more information. I took your suggestion and manually removed the V9 plugin from the Internet Plug-Ins directory, and after running the Version 10 installer again, it now shows Version 10 as the default. I did do a quick directory search for "Flash Player" and found multiple copies of the old version in a couple of different directories (which I overlooked the first time around, d'oh!), so that might be what was causing the problem in the first place. I removed those additional copies and now Flash Player 10 is working flawlessly. Thanks again.

Adobe Flash Player 10.1 issues, errors with Quickbooks Pro 2010 installation

I recently - uh today - had an agonizing experience installing Quickbooks Pro 2010 because I kept receiving error messages during the Quickbooks installation. It was a new cd that I had purchased a few months ago from Costco, and had been putting off using it, or even installing it.
So today, I tried to install it, and failed repeatedly. I kept getting the same message, Adobe Flash player file is unavailable - with a drop down screen showing the location of the flash player file that the installation software was trying to find so it could continue the installation. I think I recall seeing an error message originally with Adobe Flash Player 10.1, but it's been a long day, so maybe the error was always referring to Flash Player 8.0. I tried to browse for a new location that the Flash Player file might be located, looking through the Program Files\Adobe and coming up with nothing.
I spent a long time looking through the discussion forums on both Quickbooks and Adobe trying to find the answer, also turning off and on my computer, ha. And I installed the latest Flash version, Flash Player 10.1, then uninstalled it and then reinstalled it, and then uninstalled it and looked for the obsolete Flash Player 8.0 which I couldn’t find on Adobe’s website, but found links to in two other forums…So basically, I tried to solve this on my own, and it didn't work.
So...I was whining to a friend who suggested I just call Quickbooks technical support. Duh, why didn't I think of that? I guess because the packaging on the new software says that fees may apply if you call customer service. Well, it doesn't apply to the first call, and also it's crazy to charge someone who can't even install the program. So I called them, and was on hold forever.
But the problem was solved.
The tech support person, Manish, was able to install Quickbooks by completely bypassing the usual installation procedure. He checked for compatibility, which was fine, I have Windows XP, etc. and then I believe went to control panel, add or remove programs, and clicked on add programs, and followed the icons with the Wizard to install the latest version of Quickbooks. The interesting thing here is that QB has some special download to allow remote access during a trouble shooting call. It initially freaked me out, but it worked just fine, since I could see what was happening on my computer screen even though I wasn't the one operating the computer.
I asked Manish why this installation method seemed to work. He said some of the Quickbooks cds have a bad Flash Player program file, and doing it this way seems to bypass it. He also said that Quickbooks should not compatibility issues with Flash 8.0 or Flash 10.1, but there were some problems noted with Flash Player 9.0. I asked if I would have problems if I uninstalled Flash Player 8.0 and then reinstalled 10.1. He said there shouldn’t be problems, so that’s what I just finished doing.
Hopefully this is helpful for someone else out there in cyberland.
Also, it was kind of helpful, someone else posted on another forum that you could check what flash files you have by going to C:\Windows\System 32\Macromed\Flash, because I couldn’t even find where the Flash Player was installed. They are not in the Program files under Adobe.

Hi, well that sounds like quite an ordeal. Your Flash files are located in C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Open Flash with a right click and post back all files listed there. It may be a good idea to just confirm that they are correct.
Then Using Internet Explorer, go to Tools, Manage addons and Toolbars & Extensions and look for a box Show all add ons.
You should find Shockwave Flash Object..ActiveX Control..Flash10h.ocx and make sure it is enabled.
The Flash files and that ActiveX Control is Flash Player.
Now if you use another browser, you may want to post that version info as well. Also, what service pack do you have with XP?
Thanks,

Thanks Chris for looking into my issue

Adobe Flash Player : Are there issues for the Mac?

Should I install Adobe Flash Player on my iMac?
Are there benefits and or issues that I should be aware of?

Providing you only download it from Adobe you should be fine - although there are security concerns relating to Flash from time to time. When they become known OS X's inbuilt X Protect will disable it until a new updated 'safe' version is available. Adobe also update it fairly regularly, so if you do install it set its preferences to allow for updates.
As to whether you need it, only you can decide. It adds functionality to web-browsing so without it you may encounter websites that don;t display all their content.
Many users live without it or install it, but also install a Safari (if that;s the browser you use) extension called Click to Flash which disables Flash content, only displaying it if you choose to by clicking on the placeholder.
An alternative is to use Google Chrome which has its own version of Flash built-in. In that case you don't need a separate install of Flash. However, the downside is you have Google looking over your shoulder .

Adobe Flash Player Enterprise Install Issue

Couple months ago we deployed Adobe Flash Player 10.0.45.2 (ActiveX) to our enterprise. Recently, our users have been calling the help desk stating that when they visit sites that have flash content, it asks them to install flash (however flash player is already installed on their computers). I'm in charge of packaging and deploying at our company and this is the first time I've seen these after heading up multiple flash updates. I've recently upgraded a few of our training rooms to Adobe Flash Player 10.1.82.76 and so far have not been able to replicate this issue with the new version. My concern is that after we deploy this new version to our whole enterprise, the issue will appear again. So my question is, has anyone else seen this issue and/or know why it's occuring?
Windows XP SP3 (32-bit)
Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13 (32-bit)
Adobe Flash Player 10.1.82.76 ActiveX

I think we're getting closer to a root cause! I'm comparing two computers (we'll call them Computer A and Computer B). They are identical in every way expect Computer A has a working version of Adobe Flash Player 10.0.45.2 and Computer B does not.

Adobe flash player 11.4 issues

I have a Hp computer that uses window 7 home premium, I use mozilla firefox 17.0 my system is a 64-bit I have google chrome and I have installed and uninstalled adobe flash player at least a dozen times, but it keeps saying the same thing when I get on youtube and on othere sites it won't do anything at all, on youtube it says" an error has occured please try again later, but no matter how long I wait it stills says the same thing, please if some one could help I would be very gratefull i'm not very computer savy so if you could dumb it down that would be great

I have the same problem, I have Windows 8 64bit and firefox 17, I could not play any videos from IMDB and other sites, I since then i have read that it is a problem with series 11 of Flash Player and to try version 10.3 which i have now done and it works perfectly on all sites, so it would appear to be a problem relating to 64 bit machines as my wife has the same setup but 32bit and hers is working fine so I will keep version 10.3 until I read that this problem has been sorted.

ADOBE FLASH PLAYER UNINSTALL ISSUE- FEB 2015

POSTED FEB 2 2015
hello fellow mac users - I have an adobe flash player question...
I am sure everyone is aware of the adobe flash player vulnerability that came out late January 2015.   Initially when I saw that, I promptly removed flash player on my machine and installed the new version 16.0.0.287.    A day later when I started my machine, I saw a Flash Player message indicating I have to download again. I googled and found out Adobe actually only partially fixed the vulnerability.
Exasperated, I decided to say bye-bye to Adobe Flash for good by uninstalling Flash Player.   After uninstalling, I went to Youtube and played a video - it shows that its using HTML5 codec to play the video - so far, so good.
The issue I am having is that since I uninstalled the Flash Player, whenever I start up my machine I am getting this "Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller" pop up window.
The first time I saw it, I clicked on UNINSTALL button and it will say "Adobe Flash Player was removed".   But every day when I start up my machine, it still shows this pop up message and its driving me bonkers.
is there a way to remove or prevent this pop-up from showing up?   BTW I checked my machine's preferences and Adobe Flash Player is no longer listed.
BTW I have a iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011), Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Thanks for your input in advance.

RESOLVED - Feb 3 2015
I believe I have found the issue and resolution on that pesky Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller - thought i'd share in case this would help someone.
Since that f***ing Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller pops up each time I start up the machine, I thought I should check the "startup" items in my Mac machine. So I did my research and I did the following steps:
1. Click on Mac > System Preferences
2. Select Users and Groups
3. User and Groups window pops up - On the right pane you'll see "Password" and "Login Items" items - click on "Login Items".
On the Login items - I did see 'Adobe Flash Player Installer' - apparently this triggers the Uninstaller instead of Installer - but whatever - I have banned Flash Player from my Mac so I highlight this item on the Login Items list, and click on the minus sign button - it removed the Adobe Flash Player Installer from the Login Items list.    Then I restarted my machine - and voila - NO MORE PESKY Adobe Flash Player uninstaller pop-ups!!!! Hurrah!!!
Again this might help specifically for those who want to BAN Adobe Flash Player from their machines and are seeing the Adobe Flash Player Installer / Uninstaller every time they start up their machine. Apparently this is not a widespread problem but it still does happen. Good luck y'all and say goodbye to Adobe Flash Player (sorry Adobe, but I do still love your core products like Lightroom and Photoshop). Adobe should not have bought Macromedia (who originally developed Flash and Shockwave) years back but who would have known Flash would be such a headache (no thanks to cybercriminals)...

How do I remove an Adobe Flash Player pop up window?

While accessing a Yahoo home page news video an Adobe pop up window blocked the central portion of a video.
The pop up window states:
"Adobe Flash Player Settings
Local Storage
l.yimg.com is requesting permission to
store information on your computer.
Requested up to: 10KB
Currently used: 0KB
icon of 'folder'. icon stating 'Allow'. icon stating 'Deny'. "
How do I remove this Adobe pop window???

http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.htm l
Websites might occasionally want to store information, such as your high score from a game that runs in Flash Player or what products you have purchased, to your computer. In the Global Storage Settings panel, you can control how much disk space websites can use to store information, or you can prohibit websites from storing any information at all. (If you prohibit websites from storing information, the website might or might not function as intended.)
Use this panel to specify the default storage settings for websites that you haven't yet visited. (To change settings for websites you have already visited, use the Website Storage Settings panel.) The following list explains the storage options:
If you don't want to let applications from any website save information on your computer, and you don't want to be asked again, select Never Ask Again. This action doesn't delete any information that is already stored. (To delete existing information, use the Delete options in the Website Storage Settings panel.)
If you want to decide on a case-by-case basis whether applications from a website can save information on your computer, move the slider to the far left (None). Each time an application wants to save information on your computer, you will be asked for more disk space.
If you want to let applications from any website save as much information on your computer as they need to, move the slider to the far right (Unlimited).
If you want to let applications from any website save information on your computer, but want to limit the amount of disk space they can use, move the slider to select 10 KB, 100 KB, 1 MB, or 10 MB. If an application needs more space than you have allotted, you will be asked for more disk space while the application is running.
(Flash Player 8 and later) If you do not want to let third-party content store information on your computer, deselect Allow Third-Party Content To Store Data On Your Computer.
When you visit a website, the address shown in the browser address bar is usually where most of the website is located. For example, if you visit a fictional website www.[hotel].com, most of the website is located at www.[hotel].com. Sometimes, websites combine content from different sources. For example, www.[hotel].com might display a reservations form in Flash that actually comes from [reservations.hotel].com. The content from the latter website is called third-party content.
Third-party content might try to store information on your computer. In the hotel reservations example, you might be willing to let [reservations.hotel].com store information on your computer, such as data about which hotels you prefer, so that you can make a hotel reservation. However, you might not be willing to let third-party content store information on your computer in other situations. For example, a car-rental company, www.[my-car-rental].com, might have a banner ad on www.[hotel].com, to track your website usage or to record your preferences.
To prohibit all third parties from storing information on your computer, deselect Allow Third-Party Content To Store Data On Your Computer. This option is available only with Flash Player 8 and later. Adobe recommends that you upgrade to the most recent version of Flash Player available.
(Flash Player 9.0.115.0 and later) If you do not want to store Flash components on your computer, deselect Store Common Flash Components To Reduce Download Times.
Flash Player lets you store common or shared SWF and FLV files and other components from different websites on your computer to significantly reduce download times and allow faster viewing. For example, www.[hotel].com and [reservations.hotel].com might both use the same Adobe components on their sites.

Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser

Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser.
WIN 7 enterprise 32 bit / Firefox 19.0.2 /
Internal company website keeps giving attached screen shot error, and hangs the browser when error pops up.
Steps taken:
Uninstalled Adobe Flash player with the file “uninstall_flash_player.exe”
Deleted provided directory in instructions
"Copy and paste the following and click OK.
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
Delete all the files in this folder."
Rebooted PC and reinstalled the flash player directly from “http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html”
Re launched company website and received same error.
Repeated above steps as well as uninstalled Firefox browser. Even went so far as to remove all profile information to start fresh from all profiles on the laptop with the same results.
Note: The web page will work without the flash player plugin, and my page doesn’t hang the browser. Required to open page in FireFox per company policy.

I'm sorry you're encountering this. Could you paste a few of the most recent report ID links displayed when you go to "about:crashes" in the Firefox address bar?
As for workarounds, the first thing I'd suggest is trying our 11.7 labs release which you can get here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html
If that doesn't help, please try the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue.
Thanks,
Chris

Issue with Adobe Flash Player- Help

I used to be able to use my webcam! I downloaded the Adobe Flash Player and now I can't use it anywhere!
I am unable to see the Privacy pop-up allowing me to Allow or Deny access to my camera & microphone.
Then when I get to the settings on one site, I see only 3 tabs: Display, Microphone & Camera.
Help?
I have it clicked on my built in iSight.
Before I downloaded the it I clicked on USB Video Class Video and it worked. Now that doesn't even show up!

Since it is nothing to do with FMS and looks like more of a flash player issue - it would be good if you post your query here : http://forums.adobe.com/community/webplayers/flash_player

Hi Fireseed,
Please do the following:
Ensure you have the latest version installed:
Launch Firefox and go to Adobe - Flash Player
There is a widget on the page that lists the version installed, and a table listing the latest versions for each OS and browser.If you don't have the latest version, Firefox will block Flash from displaying.
If it is installed, and you have the latest version, ensure Flash is enabled:
Launch Firefox and go to https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/enabling-flash-player-firefox.html
Follow instructions for verifying Flash Player is enabled
If it is installed, and you have the latest version, Ensure JavaScript is enabled: JavaScript settings and preferences for interactive web pages | Firefox Help

Adobe Flash player - Gameranger Issue

Hello!
I have an issue with Gameranger (a program simillar to steam). Please take some time and help me somehow, because I have absolutely no idea what more can I do, trying to solve it. I tried almost everything (reinstalling...) googled for it, found nothing useful. So it seems it is more serious and uncommon issue.
I have been using Gameranger since 2011. I remeber that I uninstalled it because I thought I am not goin to use it anymore. But few months ago I installed it again. It does not woek on my computer since than.
The problem is, I cant run Gameranger. When I launch it, it says:
Gameranger: Flash Player Needs Updating.
Your adobe Flash player web plug-in is Version 1 and needs to
be updated to the latest version for security fixes.
Download and run the update from Adobe´s site.
So when I click OK I am automaticly transferd to Adobe´s Flash Player download site where I follow the instructions and install it.
So far, so good. But the problem is that nothing happens after installing proces. The same massage again. And I tried to reinstall Gameranger, reinstall Adobe Flash with Mozila Firefox and Internet Explorer but in vain. It happens the sime and it really angers me. Everything works fine in both browsers, but with Gameranger Adobe Flash Player is obviously not recognised.
I googled for it but nothing really useful. That is the only solution that I thought it is useful:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090214162616AAUg8bI
It mentions that GR needs Adobe Active-X and also Adobe Flash Playerto to be installed with IE. So i did. NO DIFFERENCE!? Same stupid massage again: Flash player needs updating, Flash Player needs updating... Arrgh ...You have no idea how meany times i have reinstalled the latest version of Adobe Flash player.
So please help me bacuse I am running out of ideas, what can I do in purpose of solving this annoying problem. I would also like to say that I am not some kind of experts for these things (I had no problem with Adobe Flash Player in past) and maybe there is just a little trick I dont know, or maybe I am doing something work.
Thank you!

That's a 100% a GR problem. Here's what it is.
GR, like a lot of websites, uses a detection script to determine the presence and version of Flash Player. A lot of older websites haven't updated their scripts in a while and GR is the same way. Older "detection" scripts are based on a one (1) digit version number for Flash Player. 1 is 1, 2 is 2... 9 is 9... BUT 10 is 1 again, and so is 11, 12, or 13 according to the detection script. I'm pretty sure you still had version 9 when you installed it, but have since updated to a 2 digit version, and that's what's causing this.
Since the message you're seeing specifically mentions version number and NOT a missing Flash Player, it can't be that you needed ActiveX and didn't have it. You DID and do, and a version higher that 9, but GR's script can't detect a two digit version of Flash Player.
You can try a "clean install" of Flash Player (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4041846), but since the problem comes from GR... I don't think it'll help.

Adobe Flash Player version 11.1.0 Installation Issues

Hi there
Has anyone encountered issues downloading the latest Adobe Flash Player version where it creates an error message saying close Internet Explorer even when Internet Explorer is closed?
I have Internet Explorer 10 and I have tried to download the latest Flash Player and it keeps failing to download as it asks me to close Internet Explorer.
I cannot find any guidance on the website and wondered if there was something else that people were aware of that is causing this issue..
Thanks for any help or tips.
David
