Adobe Flash Player has been disabled and downloading an updated version says that it won't download until Mozilla is closed and I don't know what that means.

Adobe Flash Player won't operate when I am using Mozilla. The window says that it is disabled. I have tried enabling it, but it doesn't do anything. When I try to download the latest version of AFP, it says that it will download when Mozilla Firefox is closed. I have closed Mozilla, I have turned the computer off and nothing that I have tried has activated AFP.

I had been getting those notices for months, I finally broke down and hit the button to automatically upgrade. I was flooded with offers of new services from $10. to $49. per month - and my audio/video for Facebook, NYT and NPR are "blocked" with the advice to "upgrade " my Adobe Flash Player - for which there does not seem to be any customer support. My advice is to skip the "upgrading" if your computer works;I do not know what to do now . .  .

  • What do I do now that Photoshop CC has encountered an error while trying to upgrade. Suggesting retry does nothing. The numbers (49) appear, but I don't know what that signifies. Help?

    It is recommended that I ask for help, which put me here. What I really need is some customer service — not a chat room!

    If Windows :
    Quit Creative Cloud desktop application .
    Launch Photoshop cc 2014 application from C: > Program Files > Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 .
    Once launched , click on Help menu in Photoshop cc 2014 and select Updates option .
    It should update.
    If Mac:
    Quit Creative Cloud desktop application .
    Launch Photoshop cc 2014 application from Applications folder:
    Once launched , click on Help menu in Photoshop cc 2014 and select Updates option .
    Let me know if you face any error .
    Error 49 occurs while updating the application , when Creative Cloud app  does not have reference / Access to installed CC app, so that it can apply updates for the same .
    You can try to update from CC app  like Photoshop itself and check.

    I have had the same problem with firefox on facebook. It has happened for the last couple weeks. I can receive gifts under requests and every game I try crashes. I can usually read my homepage. this is getting really bad. I have cleared caches,downloaded what I am told to download to update, and cleared history and cookies and still happens , and have been told to get rid of firefox. what is the problem? and when I sent reports , nothing. and sent emails to all the games and told them and asked for help and never get responses. should I through the computer out the window, or delete you? I know they keep changing things on the games and that usually crashes stuff on mine, but all the time? this sucks. and I probably won't get a response from you either,but if this continues I will have to say, bye bye.It's ridiculous..before the crashes, it would take me over 2 hours to do a game and work on it. there was life before this and will be afterwards. it also happens on my regular email..not the crashing, but so slow and the download goes up and goes way down to almost nothing and keeps doing that.please help us all..thanks.

  • Adobe Flash Player has been crashing for months. Can you please correct associated problems?

    The following is the message after the successful download from within Microsoft Internet Explorer and Installation of Adobe Flash Player on 8/17/2011 (today): You are now running Adobe Flash Player 10.3.183.5
    And the following version of Adobe Shockwave Flash Player was downloaded and installed as a plug-in for Mozilla Firefox on 8/15/2011: Shockwave Flash 10.3.183.5
    The following link was not working, and in fact access deteriorated since installing the latest Firefox plug-in for Adobe Shockwave Flash Player.
    http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/interchart/interchart.asp?symb=DJIA&time=20
    For example it stopped supplying daily data for longer Timelines. Then yesterday the panel on the left side of the webpage appeared garbled. I had been continually getting crashes of the Flash Player for months but never got any notice that I was not up to date.

    And the following version of Adobe Flash Player was downloaded and installed as a plug-in for Mozilla Firefox on 8/15/2011: Shockwave Flash 10.3.183.5 This did not result in the end of continuing crashes of the plug-in. I find it strange that months of agreeing to send these crash reports did not result in any notifications of updates to Firefox.
    Confusion has been introduced because of the similar names for the same application. Microsoft Internet Explorer’s notification states that Adobe Flash Player is not up to date and requests download and installation of the same version that had already been installed within Mozilla Firefox, which refers to this application as Shockwave Flash (of the same version). PLEASE SEE IF USERS CAN BE PROVIDED WITH SOME DISCUSSION OF THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THESE APPLICATIONS.
    What appears currently as fixes on the Firefox website for this application does not fix the problem, but so far it seems that the download from Internet Explorer of Adobe Flash Player (today) fixes the problem of the plug-in. This fix was NOT mentioned within the Mozilla Firefox website. Please note that at this point I do not have enough experience using the “fix” to know if I will not continue to have other problems with this plug-in.
    I'm running Windows XP (latest SP and updates) and cannot use Internet Explorer beyond Version 8, since the later versions are apparently only for later MS OSs. Updating to a later OS with older hardware I do not believe is advisable.

  • I keep getting "Attention! Your current version of Adobe Flash player is outdated! Your computer is vulnerable to malware now. Update your Adobe Flash player now" but I already have an updated version of adobe

    It pops up randomly and won't let me click out of it. I'm certain it's malware or something like that, but I can't seem to stop it from happening. Below is a page that I'm directed to each time. I think all this started from me clicking on someone's tumblr page.
    Here's another image from a different tumblr page. I'm afraid to download it because I don't know what it will do.

    You should ignore it.
    You should updeate only either from System > Flash Player > Check Now
    or direct from Adobe site.
         Install Adobe Flash Player.

    Chrome has built in Flash Player. This is bogus warning.

  • TS1702 I have an ipad2...  When trying download an updated version from appstore it won't download.  Happens with all apps.  Help!

    I have been unable to download a Twitter update or any other apps from the appstore.  Help, please?

    I assume that you mean that the apps are in "waiting" mode or something similar to that. you did not say that you were getting any error messages.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

  • Flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser?  It is already installed, I just don't use it.  I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it?  If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

  • Keep getting a message over and over that Adobe Flash Player has stopped working.

    Keep getting a message over and over that Adobe Flash Player has stopped working.   Uninstalled and then reinstalled. Did not help.

    Hi ebombardi,
    Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-or-flash-plugin-crashes Flash plugin troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of useful information in there that should help you get to the bottom of your issue.

  • Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation - Facebook

    When I look at pictures in facebook and click out of the pictures I have a message that pops up every time and sometimes shuts down Firefox. It says:
    Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation. The following application on your computer or network: [object] is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location: www.facebook.com. To let this application communicate with the Internet, click settings. You must restate the application after changinn your settings.
    I have run my virus scanner and have not picked anything up. My son downloaded music frost and wire frost (or something like those) and I deleted them before he downloaded anything but it somehow changed my settings of the search provider and home page on firefox and now this happens. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

    I think what I would do first, since there is a question on what was downloaded/Installed. Go to Control Panel/Programs & Features and take a look to see if any of those programs are Installed. If you see any that you don't want, remove them from there and restart your computer.
    AVG can miss malware and don't find everything. I would go to www.malwarebytes.org and DOWNLOAD and SAVE to your Desktop the Free version. Then update it if it doesn't automatically. Then close the window.
    Close all browser windows and Disable AVG. Then open Malwarebytes(MBAM) and run a full scan. If anything is found follow their instructions for removing it. When that is done, run a Quick scan with it.
    Thanks,

    Also, what pop up are you receiving? Who is it coming from? What Settings are you speaking of?

  • Adobe flash player has stopped a potentialy unsafe operation

    I have just on Dreamweaver add a swf file to my web page and the two scripts files were added, expressinstall. swf and swfobject_ modified.js  when I try to open the pages on a pc with xp I get a message (Adobe flash player has stopped a potentialy unsafe operation)  The following local app  C:\\site\the bead game\mysite\scripts\expressinstall.swf is trying to communicatewith this internet-enabled location fpdownload.macrmedia.com What do I do It plays in the properties panel but not in live view or on browser lab should I Allow this is this normal.

    Yes the popup is a local security warning if you test a page containing a Flash <object> that is attempting to communicate with another Web site via the Internet.
    You can change the security settings to allow that file to communicate with the Internet the next time you open it by adding the file location on your local machine to the security panel settings:
    http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l
    Choose "Edit location", "Add location", browse your local machine for the file and confirm your choice. Then you should see that location listed under the "Always trust these files" dialog box.
    But yes, this only happens when testing locally and does not come into play when testing from a remote server.

  • Adobe Flash Player has Disappeared from my FF Add-ons & won't reinstall

    Adobe Flash Player has Disappeared from my FF (version 4.0.1) Add-ons & won't reinstall. The Adobe Test page says that I've successfully installed the latest version (10.3.181.34) of Flash Player but after trying this 4 times, Flash just refuses to show up in my add-ons/plug-ins and now some websites are not working correctly. (Using a Win7 Home, 64-bit, SP 1 desktop.)

    Because the are different products and load/use/display different types of files. You either have both installed because you have used websites that need one or the other, or you don't. Don't worry about why they are named the way they are named, that is Adobe's decision. Just accept the facts and go on with your life.

  • I keep getting "Adobe Flash Player has stopped potentially unsafe" but can't click Settings

    Every time I open a blank tab in IE8, I get a message:
    Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation. The following local application on your computer or network about:blank is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location: s.nsdsvc.com. To let this application communicate with the Internet, click Settings. You must restart the application after changing your settings.
    I have tried clicking the Settings button, but that just closes the message box. I have added both about:blank and s.nsdsvc.com to my trusted sites. I tried creating an html file with nothing in it and setting that as my home, but I am still getting the stupid message.
    This is driving me to distraction. How can I fix it?
    p.s. If this is already posted and answered, I apologize. I searched for it but it appears that the forum search is still broken.

    There is no swf in a blank page, so I don't know how to do what you suggested.
    However, I tried something else that seems to have worked. I took EVERYTHING out of my list of trusted sites. I know it doesn't make sense, but I'm not getting those messages now.
    Thanks,

    Dear Sir,

    you could guide how to solve this problem.Awaiting your reply.I
    would appreciate your earleast reply
    Regards
    Lijesh.

    I'm getting the same problem. No explaination of why, and
    downgrading all my security to DANGEROUSLY unsafe levels doesn't
    help, nor does setting anything in the settings app. (Have you ever
    used a slower application?)
    I did find (using a Google search) a blog that pointed me to
    the article located at this address:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=13530cdd
    I don't know yet if it will help, but it appears to be on the
    right track.
    Good luck.
