Adobe Flash Player - not supported on iPad?

I want to watch a tv programme originally shown on Channel 4 UK. I have found the programme but when I try to access it I am told that I need Adobe flash player, which is not supported on my iPad. I have tried iTunes but it is not available. How can I get to see this programme?

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
Puffin
SkyFire
Photon Flash
Browse2Go
iSwifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

There is no more Flash Player for Android and there won't be another. Android is no longer compatible with Flash Player. Playing Flash content is very processor consumptive and it drains your battery, also shortening the life of it. Android (Google) recommends using either "Dolphin" or "Puffin" as your browser if you need to view Flash content with a mobile device running Android. They're both free in the GooglePlay store. These browsers use "server side" rendering to reduce the load on your device.

Flash player is not supported in iOS and probably soon no phone will.

Why is adobe flash player not supported?

Why is adobe flash player not supported?

Because.
Apple and Adobe could never come up with an OS that liked flash and a version of flash that worked on the OS. So never the twain will meet. and now Adobe is abandoning mobile flash in favor of other things, so it's become a moot point.
With the surge in the number of mobile devices and the fact that a lot of them don't use flash, site creators will need to take mobile devices into account when they create their sites and assess their accessibility.

Adobe Flash Player not supported by Android 4.0x

I use apps and and visit websites that require the Adobe Flash player and no other. Does anyone have any ideas for getting around this problem?

The work around for this is very simple.
1) go to Adobe's site and download Flash on your phone
2) download and install Dolphin Browser
3) begin using Dolphin as your browser and flash movies etc... will play.
The issue here is not that JB does NOT support Flash, it is the browsers do not support Flash since Adobe stopped supporting flash in the mobile arena. Dolphin still supports flash and it works just fine on Jellybean phones.

Adobe flash player not support

adobe flash download but not support fire fox
thank you

Which download are you using? If the one on the regular page isn't working well, you could try this page:
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (for "Plugin-based browsers")
After installation you should find the DLL here (this is for Vista and newer, and most likely your 64-bit system as well):
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
Check for: NPSWF32_17_0_0_134.dll

Mac Adobe Flash Player not supporting Web Proxy Authentication

Anyone else got an enterprise network where you use web proxies with web authentication and no traffic allowed out except through the proxies?
You may need to be in the UK for this, but try accessing BBC iPlayer content - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer and you should discover that the content won't play. the error says "This content doesn't seem to be working. Try again later.". The content will never work as the Mac version of Flash (currently 10.1.53.64) is not able to respond to web proxy authentication requests. The BBC use various streaming server which are randomly selected when a user starts a stream and they have no DNS. Just IP addresses. They don't publish a list for security reasons. So it is almost impossible to exempt all their servers from authentication.
I've logged a bug with Adobe. If you have this issue too, please add a comment and vote so that they can begin to grasp the impact of this problem:
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-5161

I have the same issues in Australia trying to access flash content from the ABC website. The strange thing is the content will play if your leave the browser open for 5min.
After several packet data captures we identified that it has to do with the amount of time it takes the Mac timeout from the proxy before it plays the video content.
No solution yet.

Apple's iOS platform (iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch) has never, and will never support flash.
First on this; Thoughts on Flash. This is from Steve Jobs regarding Apple's views on Flash (2010)
Second; Adobe stops making Flash for mobile devices. This is from Adobe themselves last year stating that they would stop making Flash for mobile devices.
If you can find the App equivalent of the programs you are looking for, then congratulations, however, if you require specific 'programs' requiring flash, then the iPad is certainly not for you, and returning it would be the best choice (granted you are still within the return period).
The lesson in this; Research what a device can and cannot do prior to purchase

Salve a tutti, avete un idea di come si possa ovviare al problema della visualizzazione dei video on line che necessitano Adobe flash player e che l'ipad non supporta? Tralascio le mie considerazioni al riguardo, grazie.

Adobe Flash Player not accepted?

In using my browser on iPad mini, reading daily mail and news, I want to do the daily crossword, but notified that Adobe Flash Player is needed, but iPad system not compatible and I can't download the plug-in. OK. Is there another way to work with non-App Store material? Or just fuggedaboudit?
Thanks.

Flash is not supported on the iPad (and you can't download any plug-ins on the iPad)- and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites have their own apps in the App Store.

How do I sign up for Adobe Flash Player Extended Support Versions?

I looked on the website but was unable to find how to sign up for Adobe Flash Player Extended Support.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi UtahDano,
Can you tell me where you saw '2013'? I looked on Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe, Adobe - Adobe Runtimes / Reader Distribution License Agreement, and Adobe Runtimes / Reader Distribution Agreement, and I'm not seeing '2013'. Once I find out exactly where this is at, I can forward it to the appropriate folks to update.
Thank you.

I need To install Adobe Flash Player 9 for my iPad 2

I need To install Adobe Flash Player 9 for my iPad 2 or some thing like the flash player

Not as most people think of Flash on an iOS device, no. The new version of Flash Media Server just provides a single server platform for streaming video both in Flash and HTML5 content formats. It won't work for Flash apps which is what most people want. And it's not something the user can install for connecting to Flash content;the provider has to implement it.
It may, however, speed up the availability of content in HTML5 format since the provider doesn't have to run separate servers. And just FYI, it's not new. This version of Flash Media Server was released back in September.
Regards.
