Adobe flash player on Mountain lion is incompatible, I can no longer watch you.tube, live direct tv..........says i have to upgrade the flashplayer and it will not update!!!! Help, says "blocked plug-in"

I recently updated to Mountain Lion and now I cannot watch Youtube, Direct tv live feed because it says I need to update. But, my computer will not let me. Says I have a "blocked plug-in" Help!!!!!!!!!

You should only ever download Flash from that link. If a site pops up a message offering you a link to download Flash, don't take it. It might be the Adobe auto-update, but it might equally well be malware - there have been problems along these lines.

You really don't need to do "secure Empty Trash." Just empty the Trash. If you don't have permission to access some items that means you shouldn't be trying to delete them or you are trying to delete a file you don't own.
If your external drive is used only on your Mac, then it should not be formatted ExFAT. It should be prepared as follows:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Try restarting the computer. Then again try to Empty the Trash. Do you still get the error? What are you trying to delete?

These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

Fix for Flash player in Mountain lion/Safari 6.0

Hi, i was having problems with flash player but found a fix, it takes a while but it worked for me. First install the latest flash player. now mount the flash player installer, go to flash player installer and right click, then "open package contents", then go to contents, resources and right click adobe flash player.pkg, right click and show package contents. then go to contents, and extract archive.pax.gz. A folder named library should appear in your downloads. Copy everything in application support folder to the applicaton support folder in your computers library. Do the same for Internet plugins folder and preferences panes. Lastly, copy com.adobe.fpsaud.plist to the preferences folder in you computers library, and voila, flash player will work in mountain lion.
i hope this solves it for everybody else!

I, actually read another thread that suggested resetting Safari so I tried this and it has been functioning normally since that time. Thanks for the help though.

HT1338 can't download adobe flash on osx mountain lion

Here are the steps to successful Flash install that work every time for me.
Initially, download latest Adobe Flash PlayerAdobe location only!
Once it is downloaded, quit all browsers, and system preferences (if open) - this part is crucial.Installer will download to the Stack, next to your Trash icon in the Dock
Click once on the Stack to open it.
Click once on the Flash Installer to open the installer.
Double-click on the red Install Adobe Flash Player icon
Agree, by choosing open on the pop-up dialog
Enter your login password to proceed.
Installed
The Flash browser plug-in is installed
The Flash system preferences panel is installed
Remove Adobe Flash Player installer from desktopRight contextual menu on installer icon - Eject “Adobe Flash Player Installer”
The System Preferences Flash panel has an Advanced setting. On the advanced setting tab screen is a Delete All... button. This cleans up all the Flash carcasses left on your system after browsing and/or movie events. Sometimes, this actually clears up an otherwise unexplained browser behavior. I consider this just as important as clearing browser cache.
From this point forward, you can also check for new Flash Player releases from this panel too. Once the update has downloaded, again, exit all browser sessions and make certain System Preferences is closed. If it is open during the install, the install will fail.

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.

Have adobe flash player on chrome but isn't working on firefox, cannot install it I get a message that I haven't got the permissions to do so.

I have flash player in google chrome but not in firefox. When I try to simply allow flash player in firefox it is not listed. I have the only account on my computer so I am the administrator yet it states I do not have sufficient permissions to install flashplayer although it is already on my computer. I will attach a .bmp screen shot of the error message, but this is what it says if you don't want to open a pic from someone you do not know. :)
"a required file (C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe:5) could not be written due to insufficient permissions.
Please visit the following link for troubleshooting tips:
Troubleshoot Flash Player installation for Windows
I have tried with my antivirus (Avast free version) running and also with it disabled.

hello, please try the windows exe-installer for plugin based browser from https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html and see if this works to install the adobe flash player. otherwise you'd have to contact adobe's support since that doesn't appear to be a problem directly related to a mozilla product...

Adobe Flash Player 10.1.102.64 download error: can't retrieve essential parameter (1629.301.749).

Getting error message can't retrieve essential parameter (1629.301.749), after Adobe Download Manager pop up for installation. I have uninstalled/reinstalled flash player numerous times. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ notes I have the latest version installed, but I am unable to access full Adobe Flash Player functions on various sites such as Facebook, etc. I can't find anything in the Adobe KB. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm back. The dwld worked for 2 days and now I'm back to the notification that I need to update my Flash Player. I used the link you previously provided http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html to download the .exe again, but I'm getting the same message for both Mozilla & IE. As I previously stated, there is no file folder in the Registry for Flash Player under HK HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Adobe. Does anyone know the KEYS for Flash Player, that I could add manually?
System Information:
Win XP Home, SP 2
IE 8.0.6001.18702
Mozilla 3.6.12
Flash Player 10.1.102.64
Thanks!
