Adobe TV says I need Flash 10.1 after I installed 10.2

WTF, which means ... Where's the Flash?
iMac 20" dual-core Intel with OS 10.6.7 and Safari 5.0.4
I've installed the new Flash 10.2 twice this morning. Each time, it went quickly and then slowed up at the 95% mark for about 1-2 minutes, then finished. And after each "installation," when I returned to the Adobe TV page to look at a video, the Adobe site told me I had to install Flash 10.1 (?) to play the video.
WTF?
I even restarted the computer after the installation. Pourquoi is this not working? Danke, beaucoup, mes amigos and amigas.

Hey Michael.
I'm having the same problem your having with Safari and Adobe TV, and I think I've found a solution.
I'm using 10.6.7 with all patches including Safari 5.0.5. If you in the same boat then this solution may work for you (it may work for other configs as well, I didn't do further testing).
1. Make sure that the menu called "Develop" is activated in Safari. Go to (in Safari) Preferences> Advanced> turn on bottom check box called "Show Develop menu in menu bar". Close Preferences and now you should have a "Develop" Menu in your Safari menu bar.
2. In the "Develop" menu go to "User Agent" and select (ironically enough) "Safari iOS 3.2.2 – iPad". Now reload the Adobe TV page your trying to watch, it should start playing.
DONT ASK ME WHY, BUT IT WORKS...... Now how idiotic was that?
The iOS user agent was like the second one I tried just to be cheeky. I was at my wits end with the Adobe TV thing telling me I had to have Flash 10.1 or higher when I just installed 10.2.159.1 (or w/e the hell the number is now).
Trying to watch this silly Adobe TV cost me about 45mins of researching, testing, reinstalling and it better damn well be worth it
I hope this works for you.

  • WLM Not playing videos, says I need Flash, but I have it installed

    Okay, I originally had a topic going in Microsoft Tech Support, and was told to come here, so I'll copy my original post there.
    Which version of Windows Live Messenger are you using ?
    Version 2011 (15.4.3538.513)
    Choose your Operating System version :
    Windows 7
    Choose your firewall manufacturer :
    Windows Firewall
    Are you connected through a router ? If yes, did you try bypassing the router ?
    Yes
    Additional Details
    Okay, since I bought and installed this version of Windows I have been having a problem with WLM, which has just now gotten to the point where it is becoming a hassle. Whenever I send or am sent a video link I will get an error that says "To send or receive Windows Live Messenger content, you need a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Once Adobve Flash Player has been installed, you may need to exit or restart Windows Live Messenger," which is followed by a link to where I can download Flash. The link, http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/thankyou/activex/?installer=Flash_Player_10_for_Windows_I nternet_Explorer however, is dead. At various times in the past I have attempted to solve this on my own. In brief, what I have done is as follows:
    Uninstall and reinstall Flash
    Uninstall and reinstall WLM
    Roll back to previous versions of Adobe
    Updating a pre-existing installation
    Reinstall all drivers
    Reinstall Windows
    thirty minute Prime95 torture test
    Fresh installations of WLM with and without MSN+ and Mess installed separately and individually, and in differing orders
    Manual and automatic registry integrity checks.
    Avast Anti-Virus on and off
    Windows Firewall on and off
    Comodo Firewall on, off, and at all security levels (I installed this after I had tested Windows Firewall, it is currently uninstalled)
    Connected through different routers and directly into the modem
    Adobe stress test
    Verified Adobe Flash installation integrity twice
    After all of this I still get the same error whenever a video link appears in a conversation.
    The last post, which lead me here, was this:
    Please check how many Adobe flash player you have installed and what version/s are they. To check please access Programs and Features located at Programs under Control Panel. You should at least have 2 listed ( Active x and plugin ). 
    Also it is possible that installed flash player is corrupted. Kindly uninstall then reinstall Adobe flash player installation in your computer. For steps in uninstalling flash player, please click on the link below:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    If issue still persists, it would be advisable that you contact Adobe support for proper assistance. I recommend that you install flash player thru Internet Explorer. Also please test flash player intalled by going to websites which requires a flash player to view contents such as youtube.com or adobe website itself.  If flash player doesnt work on these websites then the problem is with flash player, not with Live Messenger.
    All posts in between the first and last have been similarly unhelpful, and I was quickly escalated to "Experts" and didn't hear anything for two months. Now I was told to come here, so here I am. I am using the latest version of Flash, and as my original post stated, I have installed it, it is not corrupt, it works on everything and anything except WLM.
    I have searched Google, Microsoft Tech, and Adobe tech previously. None of the proposed solutions have solved my problem, and as you can probably tell from my list of solutions, my own research became quite disparate as I neared my wit's end. Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated.
    And yes, I checked for multiply installations of Flash Player as he suggested, even though I knew I only had one. And I have also installed it with every browser I could find.

    IE9 displays that page and every other page with Flash content correctly. I can start a Flash program directly on my desktop and run it using Flash. My personal assumption was that WLM is pointing to a place that doesn't exist, but I have a friend with a very similar setup, and his WLM is fine. Odder is that on my old computer running Vista I had installed the Seven Transformation Pack from windowsxlive and could watch videos on WLM even though Vista didn't have that capability before. It is only upon installing Windows 7 on this computer that I have had any problems.
    I have considered that this is a bad copy of Windows 7, but everything else works perfectly, and I would have had to have installed a corrupted WLM application half a dozen times to still have this error if that were the case.
    WLM is a 32-bit program, installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Messenger

  • Lastest Flash (16.0.0.305) is installed but Firefox still says I need Flash for most videos. Why?

    I have installed flash multiple times, restarted Firefox, and everything I can think of but every time I come to a page that uses flash player it STILL Says I need Flash player to see the video or whatever is using flash. This has been going on for a while now since the last Firefox update.

    In your More System Details, there is a mystery line that just says "Flash" while the official line says "Shockwave Flash". Could you use by test page to generate a list of the full information for each plugin so it's easier to figure out which one is the stranger?
    http://dev.jeffersonscher.com/jstest.asp
    Scroll down a bit to the plugin list. It's the "Description" line that will say just "Flash". What is the name of the plugin?

    Hi divabuyer,
    It sounds like you're trying to convert to Word from within Reader, is that so? Are you signed in to Reader? If so, you'll see your name in the upper-right corner of the Reader application window.
    If that doesn't work, please try llogging in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf with your Adobe ID and password.
    Let us know how it goes.

    Old computer died and I am trying to install Illustrator CS5 on new computer.
    Last version I had before CS5 was/is Illustrator 10,which has been installed on new computer.
    CS5 install says I need CS2,3 or 4 before installing 5, but old computer went directly from 10 to CS5.
    How can I repeat this 10 to CS5 install?

    It does not seem likely that CS6 was upgraded from version 10.  You might want to check your purchase history in your Adobe account to see if there is some missing link in the chain of purchases you made.
    You can always try contacting Adobe support thru chat to see if they can find information or otherwise assist you in this matter.

  • I currently have iPhoto 8.1.2 on my macbook pro and am trying to update to the latest version.  I have had to work backward, but I can only get back to 9.1, which will not install because it says I need at least 9.0 to install it. Is 9.0 available?

    Upgrading from iPhoto 8 to iPhoto 9 requires a purchase. There are two ways to get to iPhoto 9: 
    1 - purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com.
    2 - if your MBP meets the requirements upgrade you system for free to Mavericks.  Then you can purchase the latest iPhoto version, 9.5.1, from the App Store.

    Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have never managed to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, and they have recently 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.
