Adobe Flash Player video not streaming correctly (since 10/14/11)

Hello!
I'm a full-time, daily user of Flash Player as I got rid of my TV and started depending on websites to watch live TV streaming, full episodes or videos.  I've never had any issues with FP working properly until about midnight, FP video streaming is pausing/buffering every 2-3 seconds.  I have already spent hours making sure my notebook (which is 3 weeks old) did not have any software updates, pc performance issues, and also ran full scans for any possible viruses through McAfee and Windows Defender which completed sucessfully.  Additional maintenance including uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe FP 11, made sure all browser ad-ons were disabled, disabled automatic software to run at start-up, checked for any "failed" updates in history and fixed (1) failed update in Windows, deleted browsing history and cookies, uninstalled any unimportant software such as Bing, checked memory usage, troubleshoot issues in control panel and disabled display hardware acceleration in adoble FP settings per instructions read in online support.  I do pay for IT Service through my ISP which was my last attempt to fix this issue, however, I was hoping to get any advise from you first because I did see that there is a note in your website that Adobe is performing maintenance updates at this time, and I'm hoping this might be the reason afterall.  I appriciate your rapid responsse to any advise or help before I continue to diagnose any performance isses further with my IT.  Thank you so much!!!!

Windows Defender is not an anti-virus program in the traditional sense, it simply sweeps the hard drive for a limited number of known malware and will not interfere with any other installed anti-virus software such as McAfee.
I seriously doubt that the anti-virus software has anything to do with these Flash Player problems at all, but regardless my advice would be to uninstall McAfee and download Microsoft Security Essentials direct from the Microsoft website - this is a full, free, anti-virus suite which also makes Windows Defender obsolete (it will probably remove Windows Defender for you automatically).
There seems to have been a lot of problems for a lot of people with Flash Player 11, if removing McAfee didn't solve your problem then I would advise uninstalling Flash Player 11 (there is a Flash Player uninstaller available on the Adobe website - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html) and going back to a previous Flash Player version to see if that cures your problem.  I am in the process of doing the same thing myself as since updating to 11 my streaming video has been messed up, I can think of no other explanation than shoddy coding / testing in Flash Player 11.  The Flash Player 10.3 installer is available here - http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html#fp10.3 and here - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html

    Hi, Your Flash files are all correct for IE. I'm sure they are also for FF, since Flash Player is working.
    What you can try is something that has helped other users and maybe this will help you with IE. Try turning off the User Account Control and then Restart your computer and see if IE is working now.
    Open User Accounts by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking User Accounts and Family Safety.
      and then clicking User Accounts. Click Turn User Account Control on or off.
      If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
      Select the Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer check box to turn on UAC, or clear the check box to turn
      off UAC, then click OK.
    Let me know whenever you can, no hurry.
    Thanks,

  • Airplay mirroring not compatible with adobe flash player videos

    anybody else have this problem with playing adobe flash player video via Airplay mirroring?  The video freezes on me and the audio quits...

    It is on OSX though.  They are playing it from a laptop.
    And AirPlay freezes quits and generally does not work well regularly unless you have an absolutely perfect network setup.  I am assuming you are using WiFi.  If you want to use AirPlay you will probably at least need ATV connected via a wired connection.

  • Adobe Flash Player 11 NOT working after several attempts to download, uninstall, & reinstall

    I have problems with Adobe Flash Player 11 NOT working after several attempts to download, then uninstall, & re-install. 
    I uninstalled the previous versions of Adobe Flash Player from my computer PRIOR to attempting to install the new 11 version, so now I'm unable to view videos, etc., 
    I'm using Windows Vista 32 bit, Internet Explorer 9.0 (which I closed when I got error messages during Adobe Flash Player 11 Installation.  I've  disabled my AVG -Virus also during the installation of Flash Player 11.   
    FYI, I'm not computer savvy so the YouTube video by Adobe Tech was too complicated to follow AND I'm unable to view  (DUH!) it since I have no Flash Player program installed (doesn't make sense!) .
    Thanks for keeping it simple (KISS for me).

    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling some 30 times now ..rebooting, you name it.
    I haven't been able to use flash since Adobe kindly shoved that latest update down my computer's throat.
    Right after getting the 'successful' installation message I restart IE9 ..go to my channel on youtube and immediately get the message:
    The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback.
    Get the latest Flash Player
    I tried Chrome and on two or three it worked but then even after closing out of them ..Chrome slowed down to a crawl and finally informed me that Flash had stopped working.
    This has entirely wasted 3 nights of my time. It is 2:30 am and I should have had at least 2hours sleep already to rise at 6:30 but no, thanks this I'm still up and no doubt millions of other computer users are having just as much fun.. Everyone I know that allowed the updates to install ..is having the same problem ..Chrome/IE9/Firefox ...you can truly call it Adobe's Universal Cluster ...
    I live with Adobe. At work we have 6 fully Adobied LR4/CS5 & 6/InDesign workstations. I'm a photographer using nothing but Adobe products and quite frankly I feel this is the worst treatment you have ever given your customers.
    Please stop the CYA and just fix the damm thing! I realize you didn't write it Chris but surely you can get Adobe management to address this instead of just trying to get their users to try and debug it for the airheads that released it. Has anyone stopped to consider the financial damage being done due to videos not playing the ads that support the sites and no doubt stream revenue to Adobe? These guys have rolled the online experience back 5 years minimum and Adobe will probably pay the price for it. Re-issue a working version and go back to the drawing board!

  • Adobe flash player does not load statistics on Google Public Data

    Adobe flash player does not load statistics on Google Public Data and displays a white page. However If I put the same URL in an other browser the page loads seamlessly. Is it a Firefox or a Adobe flash player bug ?

    I looked on the Google Public Data site, but couldn't find any Flash videos.
    Can you provide a link where you say the problem is occurring?

  • Adobe flash player is not working safari

    adobe flash player is not working safari

    If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
    If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please 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 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
    Step 2
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
    and confirm. Close the window. Then select
               ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...
    In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
              Delete All Site Data and Settings
    then click Delete Data. 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
    a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
              When visiting other websites
    From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
    b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
    c. If the alerts still persist, 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 and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Step 6
    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 7
    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 8
    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 9
    Select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

  • Adobe Flash Player required for streamed internet radio broadcasts

    I am not well-versed in the technical aspects of why Adobe Flash Player is not allowed on the iPad2 (and other Apple devices). But I don't
    understand how "damaging" is would be to allow its use to enable an iPad2 user to listen to streamed radio broadcasts which--apparently--require Adobe Flash Player.

    A quick search of the forum will give you numerous threads that explain the issue. In fact, just look at a couple in the More Like This box to the right of your post.
    Best of luck.

  • Flash Installer cannot download. "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed."

    Flash Installer cannot download. Finally get the message,  "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." I already uninstalled the old copy, now I have no Flash Player.

    My issue was identical.... days of frustrating downloads and initializing but no installation........ UNTIL I chose to not use the default installer and chose 'Save File'. Now I have the latest Flash installed in OS 10.8.5 no problems !!
    This time a long download of 16MB arrived in the downloads folder that actually worked.
    Prior to this, all downloads were around 1.6MB and there was no .dmg in the package.
    I got my download under where it says "Still having problems?"
    Hope this helps you.
    See the attached page for reference.

  • Adobe Flash Player Installer not doing anything?

    This seems different from the problems other people have had on these forums with flash. My current flash works, but when I try to install the latest version and open Adobe Flash Player Installer, all I see is a grey rectangle, just a blank window with no buttons or text. When I close out of this window, I'm taken to a page on Adobe's website with the following message:
                                                                                               Step: 3 of 3
    Adobe Flash Player could not be installed.
    You can troubleshoot your installation with the following resources:
    Troubleshooting Macintosh Installation
    Flash Player Help and Support
    I followed both links, which had some basic info asking if I'd quit all my browsers before the install (I had), or if I'd allowed plugins in Safari preferences (also yes). I go back and try to install again and the same thing happens, endlessly. It is the same on all of my browsers (Safari, Chrome, and Firefox), and I have rebooted several times to no avail.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
