Adobe Shockwave

Hi. I was just at a website that had short tutorials that use Adobe Shockwave. I was able to watch the tutorial once, but when I tried to watch another one it said the plug-in was missing. I downloaded it and installed it but when I tried to watch the tutorial it said it was still missing and I can't find where the plug-in is anywhere. Is this because it's not compatible or is there a way to fix this? Thanks!

How to install
When you click a link, a download of the installer file occurs to your Downloads Folder usually located next to your Trash Can or in your Users Folder.
Open the folder and double click (or File: Open) the download and icon can appear on your desktop which you open and inside is a installer package which you double click on to launch the installer.
OS X will check the download to make sure you intended to start it and that it's not malware it knows about.
Follow the installer instructions to install the software onto your computer and quit when finished.
Some require the browsers to be closed first, others require the machine to be restarted to enable the software.
Once the install is completed, remove any and all downloads from your Download folder, it's safer to keep this folder empty so you can keep track of what appears in there.
Drive by downloads of malware can occur and reside in the Downloads folder, mixing in with files residing there and await your click to install.

Firefox Plugins lists Shockwave Flash 12.0.0.70 but Adobe lists this as Adobe Flash Player, and Version 12.0.9.149 as Adobe Shockwave Player, so wtf is going on

Flash causes us all immense confusion, and Firefox is adding to the problem.
My Firefox Add-ons page lists (under Plugins -- isn't there a difference?) that I have:
Shockwave Flash 12.0.0.70 which is set to "Always Activate".
Adobe websites list:
Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.70
Adobe Shockwave Player 12.0.9.149
-- so what on earth is the Firefox-listed "Shockwave Flash"?
This simply adds to the utter confusion already surrounding Flash Player -- which I cannot find anywhere amongst my Programs -- but which I can find under "Uninstall or change a Program" where it is listed as "Adobe Flash Player 12 Plugin".
There is also the thorny issue of FlashPlayer vs. FlashPlayerDownloader......
I need a flash of inspiration to get me out of shock -- I'm not waving, I'm drowning!

In the internals of the plugin it is still referenced as Shockwave Flash. That hasn't changed as it would break websites that check for a specific plugin name. You can see that on the about:plugins page and in the properties of the Flash plugins file.
You can open the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and paste this JavaScript code in the command line to see how the Adobe Flash Player plugin identifies itself:
<pre><nowiki>console.log(navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"].name);
console.log(navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"].description);
</nowiki></pre>
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Web_Console
On disk you will also see Macromedia for folder names used by the plugin.
*32 bit Windows: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
*64 bit Windows: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\
* C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\

What is Adobe Shockwave player and why do I need it?

Do I need Adobe Shockwave if I already have Adobe Flash?

Shockwave Player is a different player than Flash Player, but there are actually very few sites out there that use it.

Why is Adobe Shockwave Player not installing on my mac, but telling me that it can't be installed on my computer and is saying it's not supported on my IOS version OS version?

I have a Macbook Pro and it's Using the latest IOS(Yosemite), but it's not allowing me to install Adobe shockwave. I go through all the steps and when I push install this comes up?

I thought this had been fixed in the latest version of the installer, but perhaps not. Try the option suggested in this thread

How do I install Adobe Shockwave Player on the new Macbook Air 2013

I have just purchased the new Macbook Air 2013 I was trying to install the Adobe Shockwave Flashplayer. Now it dowloads but the problem is that when I go try to play the game it still says I am missing a plug-in. I have been trying to switch it to open Safari using Rosetta I read that if i changed it to that it would work but the option isnt even there for my computer. Please help is it even possible to download

Plug-ins need to be enabled in a new Mac.

Unable to install Adobe Shockwave on MSIE 11 in Windows 8.1 (Update 1)

Heey there,
I have encounterd an installation issue when I try to install Adobe Shockwave Player on MSIE 11 in Windows 8.1 (Update 1).
I neither cannot download nor installing it.
The Adobe FAQ tells me to use the 32-bit version of MSIE, but even then Adobe Shockwaves keeps refusing of being installed in this browser.
I am running Windows 8.1 (Update 1) on a 64 bit machine.
The current installed version of MSIE is: 11.0.9600.17351
If you need any additional information releated to this issue, please let me know.
Thanks for helping in advance.

Download the full installer from this link

I used the plug in check and it said i needed to update adobe shockwave. However, i downloaded the most recent version and the check still says I am out of date. I installed 11.5.9r615 for apple os 10.swno leopard full 64 bit. why is this.

I uninstalled shockwave and reinstalled it with the same result. what gives?

I have that same problem on my laptop, it is because Adobe Shockwave does not support 64 bit systems yet...I am not sure how you would do it on your particular operating system, because I am running windows 7..but I have to go into IE 32 and run the update. Check yours and see...hopefully that will work for you or at least this explanation works .

Why is adobe shockwave Flash being such a pain?

http://oi40.tinypic.com/2u5f4hf.jpg
It keeps doing this every time I use FF and it's going to make me stop completely if someone doesn't fix it.
I have been in the middle of doing work and it will do this, and I lose my work.
Google chrome is working better. And the only thing wrong is this Adobe Shockwave.
<sub> Edited title to add "Flash" since, based on the linked image, this question is about the Shockwave '''Flash''' plugin. aw </sub>

jscher2000 - Thanks for trying. I was surprised to hear you can manipulate Adobe Flash settings via Windows Security. I'm stuck using Vista which might explain why I didn't recognize the path you offered - "Windows Control Manager, System and Security category" as I'd never heard of "Windows Control Manager"
If I go to Control Panel> System> Security Center, there is nothing for Adobe. I'd love to see all of the Adobe crap put on one page instead of strewn over that 8 popup proprietary Settings Manager the Adobe idiots designed.
Coincidentally (or perhaps not?), Adobe released an update of some sort shortly after my last slam at them was posted here. That didn't fix their motorbike demo,

Cant see video - Error msg: Adobe Shockwave Player crashed

I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird on win 7 professional. It's been working fine up to 3 days ago. Now I get a message (on video sources) that Adobe Shockwave Player has crashed & am unable to view the video. I've un-installed shockwave & re-installed it to no avail. I also tried to go back to a sys restore point but only got 2 recent dates rather that a list of calender. I tried both dates & still not fixed.

Thunderbird does not play video and has nothing to do with how well Adobe products work. You might check with Adobe on fixing their software.

Uninstall Adobe Shockwave Player 11.0

While upgrading from Windows Vista - Windows 7, I run windows7 upgrade advisor to check the compatibility as suggested by Microsoft. The report shows following issue.
Adobe Shockwave Player
version 11.0
Adobe Systems, Inc.
Update available
We don't have compatibility information about this version of the program.
Get an update to a compatible version http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
I updated the latest version from the above link suggest by Advisor, but still the same issue was showing. Closing looking the latest version of Adobe Shockwave Player is 11.5 and the issue was showing for version 11.0. Looking further, for all the programs installed in Control Panel - Programs, I found my system have both Adobe Shockwave player (11.0 & 11.5). When I use Shockwave Player Uninstaller (sw_uninstaller.exe) this uninstall only new version (11.5) and old version remains without logo.
Please help to uninstall Adobe Shockwave Player version 11.0.

Should have looked through this forum a little closer:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/560708?tstart=0
I used the installation program for ShockWave 11.0 with the uninstall switch and this did uninstall it.
Since I am using an SCCM package to deploy the uninstall of SW 11.0 and the install of SW 11.5.6.606,
I used this line in my Installer package:
Execute msiexec /uninstall "Path\SWInstallFileName.msi" /quiet (Wait)
I had to rename the SW 11.0 installation filename since it was the same as the SW 11.5.6.606 installation filename
and I needed to use both .MSIs in my package.
This does not explain why the sw_uninstaller.exe provided by Adobe is not working though.
It would be nice to have an explanation and get this problem corrected so we can use sw_uninstaller.exe.
