Adobe Uninstaller not removing Flash Player

I used Flash Player uninstaller for Mac 10.6.8
restart, go to folders to delete any plugins, only find cache, so delete it.
Go to Flash Status page and it says I still have 11.2.202.228 installed.
Run uninstaller again, same thing.

Could you pls do the following in the same order?
Download the appropriate uninstaller from the following page: Uninstall Flash Player | Mac
Close all browser windows, mount and run the uninstaller
Restart OS X
Delete all remaining files and folders locating in the following folders:
\Library\Internet Plug-Ins\Flash Player.plugin
\Library\Internet Plug-Ins\flashplayer.xpt
~\Library\Preferences\Macromedia\Flash Player\
~\Library\Caches\Adobe\Flash Player\

Adobe is not maintaining Flash Player auto-update

Flash Player auto-update is broken. The URL that is checked by the auto-update agent has not been maintained properly by Adobe:
https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/xml/version.xml
<version>
     <ActiveX major="11" minor="4" buildMajor="402" buildMinor="287"/>
     <Plugin major="11" minor="4" buildMajor="402" buildMinor="287"/>
     <MacPlugin major="11" minor="4" buildMajor="402" buildMinor="287"/>
     <SAUConfig checkFrequency="1"/>
</version>
This information is obviously out-of-date, as the current full-release version is Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.502.110.
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
As a result, client machines relying on the auto-update process are not being patched. The client machines themselves appear to be checking properly - they have internet access and fpsaud appears to be working properly.
There's really no point to having the auto-update facility if you're not going to maintain it. You might as well just pull it out of the product.

This is as designed. The silent auto update mechanism is not updated until 30 days after a major release. However, the older style UI notifications are sent out within 7 days (and a system restart). Hopefully the FAQ below explains how this works.
How does the automatic update feature work in Flash Player?
If you are responsible for updating clients within an enterprise network, we do have an option available that allows you to run your own update server and immediately push out builds silently and automatically.

I removed flash player by accident on toshiba excite at305 i upgraded to jellybean could not play mo

i removed flash player by accident on toshiba excite at305 i upgraded to jellybean i was supposed to upgrade flash not remove cant watch movies please help me

Thank you for providing so much detailed information; I wish more users seeking help would do that!
Unfortunately I do not have a clear solution for the specific problem you are seeing. The video link you provided works fine for me with Flash Player 11.2 on Firefox 12 on both Windows XP-SP3 and Windows 7.
What I would try if the same thing happened to me:
try a clean install using the instructions in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315
to reinstall use the offline installers from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#ins tall_in_a_firewall_proxy_server_environment
if the above does not improve the situation, I would try if a graphics driver update changes anything; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765 (but I'm sure you know how to update drivers, with your background)
if all fails, I would try a System Restore to a date before the Flash Player update; all FP files are in the C:\Windows\... folders, so it should revert completely to the previous working version
Or you could try a manual install of an older version by
using the uninstaller from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
then download and install the appropriate archived Flash Player from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
P.S. regarding the archived installers, you may need to disconnect from the Internet during the installation. Some of the newer installers go and check for the availability of newer versions, and refuse to continue if they find any.
P.P.S. You can permanently turn off auto-update by using a mms.cfg file; see http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html
Most information in this admin guide refers to the new silent background update, but it also works on the earlier FP updater.

Adobe Reader will not open Flash Player on my iMac

Hi Folks,
For some reason I cannot install Flash Player. I used to have it on my iMac but now don't, maybe I inadvertantly deleted it somehow?
I've tried re-downloading the app but keep getting the message as below.
I've even tried copying the download to a Flash drive from my Mac Pro ( on which it works fine) and saving it directly into the Utilities folder on my iMac, still no luck. When I click on the icon it only comes up with the option to "remove" Flash Player
Got any ideas?
Cheers
Peter

Hi Peter,
It appears that somehow Reader has become the default program to open DMG files. You'll want to open the DMG with DiskImageMounter.app. DiskImageMounter is found in /System/Library/CoreServices/DiskImageMounter.app.
Right-click on the DMG installer file and select 'OpenWith'
This will reveal a menu that should have DiskImageMounter.app listed.
If DiskImageMounter.app is not listed, select Other... and navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices/DiskImageMounter.app.
This will mount the DMG revealing the actual installer .app file inside
Double-click the .app file and proceed with the instructions to install Flash Player.
You'll actually want to make DiskImageMounter.app the default program to open DMG files so that you don't encounter the same scenario in the future.

I want to play Farmville on my iMac, but it does not have Flash Player. I tried to download it, but I was not able.

I play Farmville on my laptop and yesterday that I unpacked my new iMac, I was not able because it does not have Flash Player.
I tried to download it, but it would not let me. Is iMac not compatible with Flash Player?

Adobe Flash Player version 11.1.102.55 works great on all my Intel iMac's.

I want to remove flash player settings manager from my Windows Laptop, How is it done?

I want to completely remove Flash player, plug-in and settings manger.
I can uninstall player & plug-in, but settings manager remains.
I want it gone.
How would I go about this?

I am trying to access Flash player website settings manager.
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l
I link from a browser to the settings manager but instead of a panel there is a download required to get latest Flash Player which I already have.
I have no idea what you are talking about. Just at what site are you getting this message to download instead of the settings panel?
My ultimate goal is to remove Flash player cookies which I learned about today to be a problem. Thanks.
If you want to temporarily remove Flash Player LSO's(cookies), just delete the browser's temporary files. If you want to permanently remove LSO's, go to your control panel and activate the Flash Player Settings Manager. Change the Local Storage Settings to Block all sites from storing information on this computer. However, most sites with Flash Player videos will not work with this setting.

Why do iPhones/iPad not support Flash Player/Java and what are my alternatives for browsing sites using these plug-ins?

Why do iPhones/iPad not support Flash Player/Java and what are my alternatives for browsing sites using these plug-ins?

There are also iSwifter, Photon, Skyfire, etc., some only support Flash some support Java and Flash.
Adobe never made a version of Flash for iOS and closed their mobile flash division a couple of years ago. You can get Flash on other personal devices but you will be using a 2 year old version that has not been patched for security vulnerabilities.
When the original iPhone was released Mr. Jobs said it would never run Java as it was old technology and a security risk. Nothing has changed since.

Ipad does not use flash player. What are my options?

What are my options since ipad does not use flash player?

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
1. Puffin
2. SkyFire
3. Photon Flash
4. Browse2Go
5. Swifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

Facebook does not recognize Flash Player

I have tried to install and uninstall Flash Player from Facebook multiple times and it still won't recognize it. I just did the test on your site to see if the program is installed on my computer and it says it does recognize the program on our computer, and the clouds move in the picture to test it. However, when I go to add an album of pics on Facebook it keeps telling me to download the program?
HELP!
Thank you.

Problem is, you have THREE factors involved here.
1. Microsoft, who now embeds their OWN modified Flash Player in IE.
2. Facebook, who has to keep up with three OS's (Windows, Mac and Linux), and more than a dozen different browsers.
3. Adobe, who makes the Flash Player for three OS's and more than a dozen different browsers.
Guess which two Adobe CAN'T control?
As I posted, BOTH Microsoft and Facebook have acknowledged the problem with IE11 and Facebook. That's where the problem lies. This wasn't a major issue before IE11 was released.

DO NOT UPDATE FLASH PLAYER

Unless you want a million viruses and crappy programs to install themselves on your computer, don't update your flash player. It told me I needed to update flash player so I could finish what I was doing for work and next thing you know I'm spending an hour trying to uninstall all of the programs that popped up. When I opened my browser the default page had a sketchy "search engine." I restarted my computer and when it started up all these programs started running without me doing anything. Adobe sucks and their flash player is the worst. It almost cost me my computer AND wasted hours of my time when I needed to get work done.

Hello,
When I click on the Citrix link you provide, it takes me to this page:
When I click INSTALL, a new page opens:
Nothing is downloaded.
Since you mentioned the Citrix website, we are aware that the Citrix XenDesktop page, Products - XenDesktop - Download Flash Plugin - Citrix, contains the wrong Flash Player shim/stub installer, although, it doesn't download a file that contains malware/etc. We are attempting to resolve this with Citrix.

What to do now that Adobe ended support for Flash Player 10.3?

Adobe ended support for Flash Player 10.3 on July 9. Downloads are no longer available anywhere that I can find. Adobe says 11.7 is now the "extended release" version. Since 10.3 has been the only solution when the latest Flash Player version won't work with Firefox, what do we do now? I have tested every Flash Player release after 10.3, and each starts crashing repeatedly after 24 hours. Each time, retreat to 10.3 was the only solution. The other suggestions in Firefox help don't work. I uninstalled 10.3 a few days ago to test 11.8 - the latest. It doesn't work with Firefox. Now I could only install 11.7. It hasn't failed yet, but it probably will tomorrow.
If Flash Player 11.8 and 11.7 don't work, and 10.3 is unavailable, what can we do?

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Firefox will not allow Flash player to work. How do I enable Flash to work in Firefox? Thank you.

Question
Firefox will not allow Flash player to work. Every site that uses Flash player gives me a message saying that I need to update to the latest version of Flash player, but I have done so, and I keep getting the same message. How do I enable Flash to work in Firefox? Thank you.

You can hold down the Shift key and double click the Firefox desktop icon to start Firefox in [[Safe mode]].

No question, just a remark to say how upset I am that Apple still does not have flash player on iPad or iPod touch. Still upset not to be able to view my family's video on my iPad! Upset customer!

This is a user to user forum, and Apple does not follow these discussions. But here is what Apple says about not having Flashplayer on iDevices:

Why does the iPad not support flash player? I would like to watch programming from att uverse but cannot because of this restriction

Why does the iPad not support flash player? I would like to watch programming from att uverse but cannot because of this restriction

Because NOTHING that is iOS supports Flash. Never has never will.
The only possible option is to try the Skyfire browser from the App store. It is an internet browser that converts flash to HTML 5 so that you can attempt to view it on iOS devices.
I have never tried it so I can tell you if it is any good, but it has gotten decent reviews.

Installed Adobe Flash Plug-in Player many time,Safari5.1 not Recognizing Flash Player

I have asked and requested for help for my last Safari 5.1 Problem and I did get some help but the person didn't finish helping me or didn't answer my questions the second time around, I am hoping that I get a complete and full help and answers to my other Problems that I am still having with Safari 5.1 on my Snowleopard.
My Continuing Problem that I am having is; when I had updated my Snowleopard to Safari 5.1 I was having a Flashplayer Plug-in problem so I updated to the new current Adobe Flash Player, after doing the update, My safari 5.1 isn't recognizing the Flash Player Plug-in whenever I go to a web site that uses or has a embeded Flash Plug-in in it Safari doesn't reconize the installed Flash Player Plug-in and doesn't play the embeded Plug-in on the web site, I have installed the Flash Player several times I even installed the Shockwave Plug-in Player that too hasn't helped Safari 5.1 to recognize the Flash Player Plug-in.
After installing the Flash Player Plug-in Safari 5.1 How come Safari isn't Recognizing my Flash Player?
Does anyone have any suggestions that can help me solve this Problem and get Safar backi to start recognizing the Flash Player Plug-in again?
If anyone can help me and has a solution to my Problem and I have more questions will that person please get back to me? The other person didn't get back to me when I had more questions from my last Problem and my last problem still isn't solved.
Mrs. Trisha Foster

Tisha, I too get quite bent out of shape when not a single soul in this forum gives me the courtesy of a reply. It's especially bothersome to me since I know that many literally "live" in this forum only to answer questions and rake up thousands of "points" to show off. And yet, when a really tough question comes, no answers are to be found.
Although I don't have the solution you're looking for, I would like to chime in with my own Safari 5.1 experience in hopes it can help you better decide on what to do (which may be to downgrade to an earlier version of Safari or use Google Chrome instead).
You are using Safari 5.1 under Snow Leopard while I am using Safari 5.1 under Lion. You have a problem whereby the Flash plugin doesn't load at all, whereas the problem I have is that the Flash plugin loads but is basically unusable.
When using Safari 5.1 and the latest version Flash plugin under Lion, my web pages partly lock-up or freeze after I display Flash video content. Specifically, I cannot scroll up or down by using gestures on my Apple mouse. And after using gestures to scroll up or down if I then resize the browser window, suddenly the place that I scrolled to (and couldn't see originally) appears. I have to quit Safari 5.1 and relaunch it to get it working again. But if I encounter another Flash object, the same partial lockup occurs again. I am using Click-to-Flash to allow me to continue using Safari, but every now and then I forget that this problem will occur and I click to view a Flash video and it locks up again.
I have installed the latest version of Flash player, but to no avail. It's a very serious problem that did not happen in Safari 5.0 under OS X Snow Leopard.
Furthermore, if I switch to Google's CHROME or another browser under OS X Lion, I do not have this problem at all.
What this means is, even if you are able to get the Flash plugin to load in Safari 5.1, will your web pages lock up as they do in my case? In any case, I believe it shows that Mr. Job's hatred of Flash in general has led Safari engineers utterly ignore how the new Safari 5.1 plays with Flash. It's a travesty and an absolute crying shame. I say this as someone who is not necessarily a fan of Flash. But until Flash is completely dead on the web, Apple should support it on their desktop computers under any flavor of OS X. To avoid doing that is nothing more than a slap in the face to all owners of Mac desktop or notebook computers. And having owned a Mac since the 128k in 1984, I don't say these words lightheartedly either.
