All sites are telling me to download Flash, but Adobe says I already have it.

Really frustrating that I can't watch videos without flash, but cant download it either. I have windows 8

If you have Windows 8 and you're using IE, you DO have it already. It's embedded in IE by Microsoft, and you can't... update, download or repair it here.
You MUST use Windows Update to update your Flash Player.
However, if you're using Internet Epxloder 11, then your problems aren't Flash Player, but the intentionally screwed up "User-Agent Strings" that Microsoft put in IE11. Sites can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using a different browser. Trouble with that is... it's seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • My computer keeps telling me to download Flash Player even though I already have.

    Why does my computer keep telling me to download the latest version of Flash Player even though I have downloaded it multiple times.  Am I forgetting to do something?

    Its seems to be a browser specific issue. Try a different browser like chrome or firefox, it should work.
    For fixing IE or Safari, lets follow below suggestions :
    Run the Flash Player Uninstaller as applicable for your machine(i.e.Windows or MAC) and remove flash player.
    For MAC : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
    For Windows : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
    Restart the machine.
    Download and Re-install Flash Player.
    Restart the browser and check.

    i need to download the latest itunes but it says i already have it installed?

    Open the iTunes application, go to the upper left to About iTunes and see what version it says you are running. 
    Did you actually run an updater? 
    Use Spotlight to see if you have multiple copies of the iTunes Application on your computer.

    How are you trying to re-download it, from within the store or the Purchased link ? You should be able to redownload it for free via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.

  • A site keeps telling me to install flash 9 after I've already done it

    I have 1 website where it keeps saying I need flash 9.
    Firefox tells me to download it and after that's done, it says I
    need to restart firefox. After I'm done, I go back to the page and
    it asks me to install flash 9. I'm not sure what to do now.

    yeah i'm having the same trouble. i go to this website and
    this page come up everytime to where i cant access the site:
    Adobe Flash Player 8 Required
    This web site makes use of Adobe® Flash TM software.
    You have an old version of Adobe Flash Player that cannot play the
    content we've created. Why not download and install the latest
    version now? It will only take a moment.
    so i clicked on the link and it brought me to this website
    and i've dowloaded flash player 9 a billion times, had it say it
    was installed on my computer, & restarted my computer and i
    still cant use that site....HELP!!

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • Hello, starting with today I have a strange problem: all events are correctly shown in the finder but in FCP-X there`s`none and every time I open it creates a new event. What is wrong?

    Hello, starting with today I have a strange problem with Final Cut Pro X: all events are correctly shown in the finder but in FCP-X there`s`none and every time I open it creates a new event. What is wrong?

    Here`s the screenshot.
    But anyway:
    The drive is Makintosh HD from my Macbook and it is shown in the event mediathek and in the projects. Since I`ve recognized this problem I installed FCPX again and consequently the event and project directory created by FCPX is where it should be and it shows all the test events including it`s files.
    So what happens? Opening FCPX you see only one event and that a new empty event. All previous events are not shown there even if you can see them in the finder. So if you import again the clips they are in this new event library. After closing correctly FCPX and reopening there again is nothing than an new and empty event. What it does is that it recognized that i.e. there are events with previous numbers and so it creates an new one with the next available counting number.
    If you want to open one event from the finder it by clicking to the file it opens FCPX but it says it cannot open the clicked file.
