Adobe update preventing imbedded video

Recently an Adobe update prompt has prevented me from playing Youtube videos previously successfully imbedded in a powerpoint.  This is extremely frustrating!  I have followed the prompt, succesfully downloaded updates only to get the same prompt again.  I'm using Powerpoint 2010 and the "insert video from web site" dropdown choice under "insert" tab.  When attempting to play the video the prompt appears: "To play the selected item, you must install a later version of the Adobe Flash Player.  To download the Adobe Flash Player, go to the Adobe Webiste."  HELP!!!!

This might also be occurring due to a change on YouTube's part.  I started hearing reports last week that YouTube had made changes that caused some embedded video to require updates to function.  To narrow this down, try reverting Flash Player back to a previous version to see if the problem continues.
How do I revert to a previous version of Flash Player?
Thanks,
Chris

  • Adobe Updates and Video Drivers

    Could not find a better place to post this one, but perhaps there is. But for now....
    I have a Lenovo 410 Laptop with discreet Nvdia video card, Windows 7 32 bit. I use it both docked with a large monitor and undocked. It has profiles for each situation. It allows for color management by the video card or by other applications - selectable by check box.
    I use the Nvidia controls and have nicely calibrated monitor and internal LCD.
    After each and every Adobe Update - whether to PS or Bridge or InDesign, the checkbox has moved to "Let another application control my video settings". Happens, I believe, every time.
    This should not be. At least it doesn't change settings, but it takes over control of my color management. If there is any way to prevent this. I would like to know.
    ~Bob

    I have a Vista x64 system with a nVidia Quadro FX 3500 card in it.
    In my case I had the nVidia Control Panel set to "Use nVidia Settings" to calibrate the video card output so that it would generate a decent display using the sRGB profile on its inexpensive monitor.  The machine is not used for color critical work, and that was a decent way to get the display close enough for its uses.
    Just now, when I went to check it, I found that the setting had returned to "Other applications control color settings".
    This is a server, and doesn't get much interactive use.  I don't think it has had any Adobe updates (other than Windows Updates) as far as I know since well before the nVidia control panel setting was the other way.  That machine does have Photoshop CS4 installed on it (no CS5), but CS4 has been updated to the latest for months.
    Certainly something changed it, but this tends to point toward other things causing it.

  • Imbedded videos don't appear since last update

    Ever since the last update, imbedded videos don't appear on the screen.  Is anyone else having this problem?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • I've been hit by malware disguised as an Adobe update. It is preventing me contacting Apple support and blocking other contacts. I have deleted the downloads but the problem persists

    My laptop has just been hit by malware disguised as an Adobe update. I deleted the download immediately and restarted but the problem persists. The malware has created a new search page, endless ads but more dangerously is creating hyperlinks hidden in normal webpage text. It is also blocking access to Apple directly and blocking me logging on to my bank etc

  • After update to cs3, video files aren't recognized

    I created a project in cs3. Adobe update manager told me I had an update, so I saved my project, exited cs3, installed the updates, restarted my pc (win xp pro 32 bit) and when I loaded the project, the video files are all shown as off line. When I tried to re-link the video files, adobe gave a message that the video file was corrupt (it is not) or the file type is not supported. How can it be supported in cs3 BEFORE the update and not supported AFTER the update????? Is there a fix? I DO NOT want to recreate this project and I'm limited as the video files are what they are, I can't reshoot them! HELP!!

    Bob: Please forgive my ignorance. I did not find a product forum for
    Premiere, only, and since Premiere is part of the suite, I assumed I was in
    the right place. Please guide me to the Adobe Premiere CS3 product forum and
    I will gladly repost. Thank you.

  • Adobe update to Version XI (11.0.07) stopped programs working and pdf's showing in browsers don't print

    Hi
    A program we use for our financial system no longer works since Adobe's latest upgrade. It pops up requesting that we install adobe pdf reader then opens in a squashed window with none of the buttons clickable. To fix we have had to roll back to an older version of PDF Reader which creates other issues with PDF's now requesting the latest version and not opening.
    It concerned me that the pdf update ran in the background despite users clicking no to the update. Sneaky, broke our finance system which our organisation cannot be without.
    Also users are unable to print pdfs that they have opened from the web. There are no error messages, just nothing happens. To work around we have to save to the PC then print.

    Hi Sashi
    The printing doesn't work from either the print dialogue or the browsers print option. The printers are Xerox FX ApeosPort-III and Docucentre IV
    In regards to our finance program no longer working:
    Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit
    Reader XI updated to 11.0.0.7
    No error message, the program only partly loads after stating it requires Adobe PDF reader (which is installed)
    The program is in visual basic and it appears the latest version of adobe reader prevents the layers loading properly.
    Thanks

  • Adobe update crashes

    Adobe updater has been working perfectly until now when it tries to install Media Encoder 4.2.0 and setup crashes. I tried downloading the update from the Adobe site, and the installer still crashes. There is no information given at the time of the crash, it is a standard Windows crash "Adobe Setup has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience." with the error reporting dialog. It cannot be installed. Please help.

    I'm having the same problem updating Premier Pro. I hope someone will provide an answer. All other CS4 Production Premium updates work OK, as do all of my CS4 Web Premium updates. I'm running Win7 Professional on an Intel i7 system with 8 GB RAM and a GeForce GT240 video card, so it's not a problem with system resources.

  • How do I completely uninstall Adobe Updater?

    Greetings.
    I have been trying to completely remove Adobe Updater from my computational machine, but I'm having troubles as it seems to be stuck in there like a gadfly on a horse' arse. I have uninstalled some very, very annoying toolbars in my time, and I've removed viruses that were a lot easier to remove than this Adobe Updater thing.
    What I've tried:
    - Looking for a bloody uninstall-executable.
    - Removing everything related to Adobe in any way from my computer.
    Needless to say, it still came back from the graveyard to haunt me. SO. How do I purge this cursed software once and for all?

    Not sure what you're doing, but the AAMUpdater is merely an entry in the registry. It won't go away, but you can prevent it from ever launching. There is no separate install/uninstall. It comes with every Adobe app. Trying to actually remove the files in the OOBE folder would be foolish and damage your Adobe programs...

    I have Adobe Reader X loaded on my computer. Adobe sends me automatic updates periodically. I have been told that some hackers have been sending what appears to be an Adobe update and when I select run it will load malicious software or spyware onto my computer. How would I recognize this attempt and how can I prevent it? I also have Norton protection loaded on my computer (via Comcast). I am not sure if Norton can protect me if I select run. Do you have any suggestions?

    Hi peterc,
    By default, Reader updates occur automatically via the Reader app itself, and this is the most secure way to receive updates. While you can choose to update manually (by choosing Help > Check for Updates), you may not always get critical updates as they're released. See Automatic updates | Acrobat, Reader. If you receive an email about needing to update Reader, you should ignore it, as that is where the malicious updates can come from. Just make sure you're letting the updates happen from within Reader, either automatically or manually.
    Best,
    Sara

  • OT: Adobe Updater does nothing

    Hi there.
    CS3; DW & PS
    For some reason Adobe Updater opens everytime I start my PC (Vista Ultimate) the updater box pops up, as if there is an update. But, the box is empty without any updates.
    Is it possible that the updater is corrupt?
    I will really appreicate any direction to solving this problem.
    Regards,
    Deon

    The CS3 updater has a bug that prevents it from resolving the host address to the update servers. Hence it eitehr goes into a forever loop, bogging down resources, or comes up empty. I recommend you simply rename the executable or delete it and be done with it. You can pretty much download all the updates from the adobe site and install the manually, so it should only be a minor inconvenience.

  • Imbedded video clip

    I am trying to create an imbedded video clip similar to the
    one on this page.
    My Network
    I would like to avoid using flash or shockwave video if I can
    help it. I just want a video file to play when my site opens. I
    would like there to be buttons near the video that will change to a
    new clip at the user’s discretion. I am tolled that the best
    cross platform compatible file types to use for this kind of effect
    are Flash or .mpeg. I am having a hard time finding any tutorials
    that achieve the look I am going for. Any help would be greatly
    appreciated.

    You might want to post this on the Flash forum instead of
    here on

  • Suddenly I can't view imbedded video on any site!...just a white box!

    Recently I lost all ability to view videos on the web through Firefox 13. Videos still work fine w' IE and Chrome and YouTube still works. But w' imbedded video on Yahoo, news sites etc. I just have a big white space. I've also noticed that some adds don't load (perhaps they're video clips as well) and are also a blank white space. Is there a plug-in or extension required for this? I tried downloading new versions of Adobe Flash but I'm not sure how, or if, it installs into Firefox. I'm not sure what changed. All used to work fine.....not sure what changed.

    Do you have the newest Flash plugin, version 11.3, released last Friday? Check out this new support article: [[Flash 11.3 crashes or does not load in Firefox 13]]. Does anything there help?

  • Adobe Updater launches each time I boot

    I use Little Snitch to control who or what wishes to get on the Web without my asking and it is Adobe Updater that is always the first to ask. I have CS4 installed and Acrobat Reader but have disabled auto update - still it launches. How can I stop this? I know I saw mention of this a while ago but cannot find it now.

    The Welcome screen in all of the Adobe apps also phones home when they launch. If you click the "Don't show again" checkbox, it stops. However, I use the Welcome screen in Illustrator and InDesign for quick access to recent files, so I set up Little Snitch to prevent them from connecting at all. Adobe, along with a lot of other companies, need to get it though their thick corporate skulls that just because someone buys and installs their software, that doesn't give them the right to invade users' privacy and send all sorts of information back to their servers. Adobe is one of the worst for doing that.

  • Imbeded Video has sound, but partial or no video.

    After viewing imbedded videos for a time, the video ends up going away, but I still have sound. (So I know it's playing the video.) Doesn't seem to matter what site I'm on, the video ends up as a half screen or less, or black screen. I can shut down Firefox and restart it, and all is well again for a time. I get no error message since the video is playing even if I can't see the video part of it, and I can't seem to find any problems anywhere on the system that would be causing this. Since all comes back to normal with a restart of Firefox, I thought this would be a good place to start looking for a fix.

    You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
