Adobe Flash Player Fails to Play Videos

Hi,
Although I have repeatedly uninstalled and re-installed Adobe Flash Player, I continually get asked by various websites to load it as if it were not there.
Most video clips will not play with the exception of some YouTube videos which ask me to load AFP but then do actually play the video.
I am running Windows 7 64bit on an HP computer.
Can someone please give an old pensioner a clue as to a possible reason why AFP will not work on my machine?
Thanks and best regards, Chris

Hi Mike,
No, I am running IE 9.0.8112.16421 (update 9.0.15).
I guess I should be upgrading, but to what?
Thanks for the replay.
Chris

  • Adobe Flash Player will not play videos on a specific website.

    I use windows 8.1 with a 64-bit operating system and and a x64-based processor. The browser is Firefox 35.0.1 and the Adobe Flash 16.0.0.305. When i attempt to view a video and a specific website the flash player displays its loading circle status before it would normally buffer but continues to load indefinitely and when i attempt to select a quality in the settings (which quality doesn't matter) the player displays a static like picture with he message: An error occurred please try again later, learn more. This has not changed since around 1pm EST. I can however watch YouTube videos without any such difficulty. This is the page in question:http://kissanime.com/Anime/Selector-Spread-WIXOSS/Episode-001?id=80934
    Prior to this i have tried uninstalling and re-installing the flash player as well as following the troubleshooting guide provided by adobe as is found here: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html
    Any help with this issue would be much appreciated, thank you.

    What is your operating system & version?

    You write that you downloaded it, but did you also install it?

  • 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.

    Try deleting Flash cookies.

    If that doesn't help, UNinstall the old Flash plugin first, then reinstall new.

    You have 2 versions of "Shockwave Flash" (Adobe Flash Player) installed; one very old version (7.0 r19) and the current version (10.0 r45). You can see both "Shockwave Flash" plugins by going to Tools > Add-ons > Plugins. You can disable the old version 7 there.
    <u>'''To disable the old version'''</u>:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+plugins+with+Firefox#Managing_plugins
    <u>'''Remove the old plugin'''</u>
    1. If the old version 7 is showing as "Adobe Flash Player 7 Plugin" in your Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, you can remove it from there; click on it, click Remove. See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Uninstall-or-change-a-program
    2. If the old version 7 is not shown in Add or Remove programs, see: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins#Manually_uninstalling_a_plugin . Some of the old plugins are in the Plugins folder of your programs Firefox install folder and can be renamed or removed from there manually.

  • Flash player won't play videos in safari after I've installed Lion does anyone have a solution?

    Hi,
    I've installed Lion after which Flash Player won't play videos with Safari. I keep being prompted to download and install the latest version of Flash Player whcih I've done several times. Can someone please help me fix this.
    I find Adobe's announcement that there are no issues with Flash Player and Lion a bit of a sick joke.
    Many thanks,
    Ian Pickering

    This sounds like the problems that Adobe have reported which are listed at
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html#main_Flash_Player
    I only use flash for watching video clips on the BBC website so haven't been affected by these other issues. The text below is copied from the website at the above link. Hope this helps.
    The Flash Player Settings dialog box doesn't respond to mouse clicks. As a workaround, press the Tab key to move to the Close button and press the spacebar to close the dialog box. While not all settings are available, you can also use the Flash Player native control panel in System Preferences.
    Custom native mouse cursors don't animate properly on Mac OS 10.7.

  • How to Improve Adobe Flash Player to watch this video

    When I wanted to watch Man City vs Chelsea live stream via http://footballity.blogspot.com/2013/08/man-city-live-stream-free.html , there is a message "You need to improve your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video" so anybody can help me..

    Well going by your standards then the blackberry playbook is just as useless since there is no native contacts app or email app.  If you want that you will also have to have a blackberry phone that is capable of tethering using the blackberry bridge app (if allowed by AT&amp;T and Verizon since that would be another fee technically you might be charged for since you will be tethering your phone to you tablet).
    Funny how I and many others are able to get by using the iPad and we don't have flash.  The majority of people if the want to view flash will try Skyfire, iSwifter, Cloudbrowse, or will look to see if there is an app already dedicated to that thing you want to watch, like ABC Player or CNN.
    Hey if doesn't work for you then it doesn't work for you.  I am not trying to come off as an Apple fanboy, just trying to make sure you are informed about your product and what options are out there. 
    Would it be nice if flash was allowed native......sure.  But it isn't so you can either get rid of the product, get an app that supports it (we are talking about spending $2 - $4) or go buy something else and hope your happy with it as well.  You can't please everyone.  Apple has chosen their stance and as you can see by sales numbers they aren't hurting.  Infact i just read about a week or so ago on Gizmodo.com that alot of the other tablet making companies are cutting back on the number of units they will be making due to low sales or projected low sales (you can thank the iPad sales for that).  Your one purchase isn't going to impact them that much.  Instead, someone else will be standing in line behind you ready and happy to get their apple product.

  • Summarize your question in a sentencewhen i open a youtube videos it doesnt open and it shows the folloing statement"You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video. Download it from Adobe."

  • You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video.

    HI, I downloaded the new flash player and I still get the above message when watching youtube. It popped up after watching one video then clicking another.
    PLease help
    Shane

    I have the exact same problem and I am going in circles trying to install and use Flash Player. But nothing seems to work. Now I cannot watch ANY videos on Youtube, I cannot use Google Maps (Street View), Pandora Radio is kaput, and so.
    I used to get the same notice: 
    You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video. 
    But now I don't even get that. Just a black box and nothing else. This is ridiculous.

  • Adobe Flash Player will not play my .flv video

    I redered a 5 min editing from Premier CS4 as steaming FLV, but if I try to play it in Adobe Flash Player, the player will open with white background and not play the movie. The file is playing though in other players like Adobe Media Player. Is there something special about a movie flv to play in AFP?
    Thank you,

    FLV needs to be inside of a SWF container that manages it's playback.  The Media Player provides that for you, but the standalone Flash Player doesn't.   So you can make one in Flash easily with components, or you can just download any one of the many free ones (for example, I've personally used Jeroen Wing's "JV Player" from longtail)

  • After installing Mozilla Firefox 20.0 with Adobe Flash Player 11.6, YouTube videos won't load properly.

    YouTube videos worked fine before installing Adobe Flash Player. When installed the screen flickers after one second, rewinds to the beginning, then plays normally. This doesn't occur when I use Internet Explorer. I have reinstalled both Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Flash Player many times but nothing seems to work . Downgrading Adobe Flash Player didn't work either. It seems like Firefox is the problem but I'm not completely sure.

    Hi All,
    Thanks a lot "cor-el". I also suffered from the above issue. And after I disabled the protected mode by editing "mms.cfg" file the issue got resolved. Now flash player is working fine.

  • Adobe Flash Player failed to initalize error

    Hello there -  I'm so hoping someone can help me out.  I am trying to download Adobe flash player and get an error message - &quot;failed to initialize&quot;.  I've tried deleting my old file and still no luck.  I also tried to save it and then go to windows explorer to run the program but can't find it, even when I do a search.  The funny thing is when I go into unintall programs, there's an incon for it. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.  Can anyone help me out?  I would really love to watch videos on youtube.  :-)  I'm running windows vista and using windows explorer 9. Thanks so much! JodiJ.

    Came across this problem a few times...
    Did you try deleting the actual files from the install directory manually? I think they are located in c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash
    Also came across this... maybe helpful...
    I don't know what web browsers you use, so my instructions are for both browser types (Internet Explorer, and other browsers like Firefox).
    go to http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580
    download the installer for Internet Explorer and save it to disk;
    if you use other browsers, then also download the other installer and save it to disk;
    close all browser windows, then use Windows Explorer to run the installers you downloaded (install_flash_player_10_active_x.exe and possibly install_flash_player_10.exe).
    If you still get errors
    please give the exact error message you are getting
    list (copy & paste) the contents of the FlashInstall.log file in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash

  • RAM usage by Adobe Flash Player spikes when playing online flash games with 3D graphics

    Hi. I have recently noticed a spike in RAM usage by my flash player plug-in whenever I play online flash games that use a 3D graphics engine (for example, Farmville 2 and Chefville by Zynga). Apart from the numerous times I receive an error message that the plug-in has failed, my RAM usage goes above 70% from the regular 40% with the plug-in consuming more than 1Gb. I have experienced the problem with the updated version of Adobe Flash Player on the newest releases of Firefox, Chrome and RockMelt. This spike in usage usually leads to a crash of my GPU (ATI Mobility Rabeon 4650 - 2Gb) My specs are as follows:
    OS - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Processor - Core i5
    Speed - 2.27 GHz
    RAM - 4.00Gb (3.86 Gb usable)
    HDD - 500 Gb (465 Gb usable)
    I should also note that the required specifications for the latest version of Flash Player (11.7.700.202) requires processing speeds of 2.33Ghz. Could that be the issue? I am still to attempt downgrading of my Flash version to see if that could help reduce the RAM usage. Are there any other suggestions out there?

    Hmmm... Win 7 will run faster than Mavericks with 8Gb. Even my Vm of 7 runs faster once I get it past all the startup processes.
    It may or may not be a connectivity problen since Windows uses a different protocol, even though it's on the same hardware. Usually though, what affects OS X will affect BootCamp too.
    What browser?
