  • The latest automatic update was accompanied by "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now". Having done this a few days ago a new Firefox update arrived with the same "request". Why and what do I need to do to stop this?

    The latest automatic update (in March) was accompanied by "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now". Having done this a few days ago a new Firefox update arrived (today 7. March) with the same "request". Why does this happen and what can I do to stop it? Firefox 3.6.15 and Adobe flash player 10.1.82.76 are currently installed.

    Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82 is not the latest version of Flash. '''r152''' is the latest.

  • What flash player to use on iPad 2 that is similar to Adobe Flash Player?  Need this to choose files for upload of assignments to my online university.  I started my profile using my iPad 2 and couldn't choose a picture to upload as well.  Hmm

    There is no "flash player similar to Adobe Flash Player". Flash is a proprietary Adobe product. There is currently no version of Flash for iOS.

  • Adobe flash Player 12 and Silverlight update

    Hi:
    I recently updated to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (12) and Silverlight. Adobe is still saying it needs to be updated and won't let me run anything that needs it. My school e-mail uses the silverlight portion of this and crashes Safari.
    How do I fix this?

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 7. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    You might have to log out or reboot before a Flash update takes effect.
    Step 2
    In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
    Step 3
    If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    Step 4
    If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
    If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    Open this folder as in Step 4:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
    Flash Player (failing).plugin  
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    Step 6
    Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    Step 7
    If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
    Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
    Then click the button marked
    Manage Website Settings...
    if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
    Step 8
    Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

  • Adobe Flash player plugin keeps crashing/Updating not working.

    Almost everyday the plug-in keeps crashing which is very annoying. Updating it did not work as there are missing plug-ins and when installing them, you have to install by manual but when downloaded theres no way to open and run the missing plug-in

    Reloading the page will often get the video, game or animation to play again.
    If Flash continues to crash, updating to the latest version of Flash should fix the issue.
    As this has been happening to you for a long time, try this too...
    Go to this Flash help page on adobe.com.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html?promoid=ISMRY
    Right-click on the box that lists your Flash player version and then click Settings… in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel.
    Remove the check mark from Enable hardware acceleration.
    Click Close to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    Restart Firefox.

  • Why didn't Adobe Flash Player show up as a plugin in the Firefox add on manager after I installed it?

    I installed Adobe Flash Player when it was declared missing by a video. It does not show up in the Firefox Add On Manager. How can I fix this?

    It doesn't display in your system details on the support forum either.
    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
    * [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
    * [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]

    * [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
    [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
    Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

  • What is a good free substitute for Adobe Flash Player? Apple will not download this but I need it for several things I want to do?

    What is a good "free" substitute for Adobe Flash Player? I need this for photos to be developed.

    You cannot substitute another app for Flash because it is proprietary technology. Apple is adamant about keeping Flash out of their phones and tablets, hence why you will not find it in the App Store. If you want to be able to use Flash on-the-go, consider purchasing an Android device.
    Doesn't matter at this point.  Android 4.0.3 is the last OS he'll have if he wants flash.  Adobe has already stopped development for their mobile flash player.

  • Adobe flash player help needed urgently!

    cannot locate adobe flash player (AFP) after installing in windows 7, ie11.. wanted to open an animation and it suggested installing AFP... can anyone help urgently?

    Launch Internet Explorer and navigate to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
    If you see an animation playing, then Flash Player is enabled.
    If you don’t see an animation playing, then Flash Player is not enabled. In that case, click on the Tools icon in the top right corner of Internet Explorer. (The icon looks like a cogwheel.)
    In the drop-down menu which appears, click Manage Add-Ons.
    In the dialog which appears, select Toolbars and Extensions.
    In the list of Add-ons, look for “Shockwave Flash Object” – which is another name for Flash Player.
    In the Status column, check to see whether Shockwave Flash Object is Disabled. If it is, click the row for Shockwave Flash Object to highlight it.
    In the bottom right corner of the Manage Add-ons dialog, click the Enable button.
    Close the Manage Add-ons dialog.
    Click Refresh to reload the webpage. If you see the animation playing this time, then Flash Player has been successfully enabled.

  • Running OS 10.8.2, Safari . Trying to watch video on CNN, It is blocked an window pops up Adobe flash player out of date. Is this real or an attack

    Should you download adobe flash player after Adobe flash player out of date, Is this an Apple message or an Adobe message.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Safari users are seeing a message telling them to update Flash Player. That's because Apple has blocked Flash because of a security problem that was being used to hack PCs and Macs.
    In your case, accept to download the Flash update and it will take you to the Flash Player download website. If you aren't sure, you can download Flash manually > http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer After installing the update, restart the Mac

  • I want to download adobe flash player in ipad2 .but it says this not supported.for seeing video in some sites.

    how can i download when it says i pad does not support adobe flash player?
    Is there any way out.

    You can't download any plug-ins on the iPad.
    Flash is not supported 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, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.

    just bought an imac  cannot view you tube videos keeps telling me to download adobe flash player 10 how can i fix this

    Good morning.
    Apple no longer includes Flash with the new Macs.  So, if you run into things that require Flash you must, if you want to view them, go to the Adobe site and download the Flashplayer as Paul_31 suggested.
    Enjoy your day.
