AOL & Flash Player 10 Incompatibility

Here we go again and again and again... Found out some time ago when my AOL "Finance" dropdown menu was blank that there was a problem after downloading Adobe Flash Player 10, but some things require that version to be played. AOL said the fix (early last year) was to remove version 10 and reinstall version 9. So I inconvenienced myself to do just that. Problem is everytime that ballon appears saying Adobe has another update appears the whole problem starts all over. Guess AOL is hitching a free ride on Adobe and Adobe ain't budgin to fix a problem for a freeloader. You'd think AOL would have the money to fix it with the fee I pay and all the advertising that's popping up all over the page (even the bottom of the email has a constantly changing ad). And of course I can't talk to Adobe without them charging me so what's a guy to do but close the AOL account for once and for all. It's too bad though cause AOL used to be such a good site before they sacrificed customer service for more and more profit.  Kinda reminds me of the corporate leaders of America for the curent and recent generations. They sacraficed not only customer service, but American jobs as well to make a little more profit by setting up shop overseas.
What we need is good corporate stewardship which equates to patriotic leadership!!!

Hi,  I figured AOL out over 3 years ago and deleted every file that they invaded and the following year found 15 more!! Had they at the time had an AOL Uninstaller, I would have used it. There are some things that you don't want on your computer even if it's free.
I agree with your last sentence:-)
Well the advice to go back to FP version 9 is typical.  Adobe updated to patch insecurities that was in vs 9 and to add new benefits.
Don't you have another ISP you can use?
I don't see this as a problem of Adobe's. To me it's no different than a website that your updated FP won't work on because they don't want to update their website so it will. So they tell you to go back and install a version that is in the Adobe archives. LOL Or if a third party ActiveX doesn't work properly, some think Adobe or Microsoft should write code so it does. There is a pecking order here that a lot of people overlook, right?
If you update to the latest version of FP, you are going to have the same problem as long as you use AOL.
Not a good decision you have to make, but it is what it is. This is an AOL problem, not Adobe's.
Thanks,

  • Adobe Flash Player 11 incompatibility with UC320W pre-2.1.2 firmware

    WHAT?
    There is a known incompatiblity with Adobe Flash Player 11 and UC320W Configuration Utility running on firmware earlier than 2.1.2.  This incompatibility prevents the UC320W Configuration Utility from loading.  If a user tries to launch a browser running Flash Player 11 against a UC320W running firmware earlier than release 2.1.2, they will see that the browser will not progress past the below screen to the login screen:  (click to enlarge)
    To verify you are running Adobe Flash player 11, you may RIGHT mouse click on this screen to see the Adobe Flash Player version.  You may also find the Adobe Flash Player version by following this link:  http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    WORKAROUNDS:
    Choose one of the two workarounds described below:
    OPTION 1:
    To upgrade to firmware version 2.1.2 or later from a computer running Adobe Flash Player 11:
    Use the Cloud Assisted Upgrader Web Application.  This application will upgrade the Cisco UC320W to the latest Cisco recommended firmware release.  The application is run from a PC with Internet connectivity by accessing: 
    http://firmware.ciscosbs.com/CloudAssistedUpgrader.html
    (click to enlarge)
    If the UC320W is running firmware version earlier than 2.0.12 (0), then a two-part upgrade is required.  In this case, the application will install firmware version 2.0.12,which is an intermediate application that is compatible with Flash Player 11 and capable of upgrading to the latest firmware release.  If the UC320W is running firmware version 2.0.12 (0) or later, then the web application will directly install the latest Cisco recommended firmware.
    NOTE:  The Cloud Assisted Upgrader Application has large memory requirements.  A computer with at least 500 Meg of RAM is recommended. All other web browser windows (including tabs) should be closed prior to starting the upgrade. In addition, you should use a computer that is physically connected to the UC320W; do not use a wireless connection for a firmware upgrade.
    OPTION 2:
    The UC320W firmware may be upgraded to the 2.1.2 or higher firmware version by downgrading the Adobe Flash Player for your browser to version 10.
    Download and install a non-debug version of Adobe Flash Player version 10 from:http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html#main_Archived_versions
    Close all browser windows and restart your web browser.
    Launch the UC320W Configuration Utility in the browser you have just downgraded.
    Upgrade the UC320W to firmware version 2.1.2 or higher.
    Cisco is working with manufacturing to install version 2.1.2 or higher firmware on newly built UC320W devices.
    Message was edited by: Chris Edgeworth
    Option 1 was added to improve the ease of upgrading.

    I am having problem updating the firmware on our UC320W.
    If I use Adobe Flash Player 11.2, I have the same issue as you describe in your post.
    So, as suggested I have downgraded the Flash Player to version 10.
    But when I try to login to our UC320W, it complains about version 10 Flash Player. The message says that "this content requires Flash Player 11.2"!
    Your help is very much appreciated.

    ... the choices are "OK" and "Settings...". When I click OK,
    or the close X, the window disappears & then reappears in 15
    seconds. Nothing happens when I click settings. WHAT is going on?
    I've run every Virus checker & computer checker I have and have
    found nothing. Do I need to uninstall Flash Player? I need AOL to
    run my business! It was working find this AM and suddenly its not!
    Thank you,

    effecting AOL customers. AOL customers launching AOL's mail
    application
    receive a Flash Player security message "Macromedia Flash

    It is your decision whether or not you allow the application

  • Flash Player in AOL Browser

    Hi Adobe people,
    Since I updated to Windows 8.1 can not open any  videos in my AOL browser. (9.6 Desktop)
    Everything works fine, except anything that has to do with videos. They work fine in my XP computer. They worked fine in Windows 8. I copied a video link from AOL to IE in this same laptop, and it worked fine in it.
    When I click a video, it starts to open. At the same time the home page opens behind the video page. When that happens, both pages start going back and forth producing the shacking that does not allow the video to show. If I click the homepage out, it goes off, but the video keeps going as if it was working, but still flashing back and forth until the whole video goes through in its entirety, albeit unseen.
    While on the AOL browser, I was trying to open a sitting chart from a known venue . The page would open, but splashed right on the middle of the page was a big message covering all of the sitting chart. This message said, I needed to update my flash player. Where ever I go for help, I am told the same thing
    I have the latest player version available. I checked what I have against the newest version available, and they are the same. Problem is that it that the version is for Windows 8 and I have Windows 8.1. I can not find any version for Windows 8.1 anywhere. I also looked at my Add Ons, and Shockwave Flash Object is there, and it is Enabled.
    How can I get a Player version to work in my AOL Browser?
    Thanks

    Thanks Pat.
    I never had to deal with this issue before, so I am not sure if AOL uses the Player's Activex or Plugin. I actually think that their Player works in collaboration with the one in IE. It looks to me that after I updated to Windows 8.1, the AOL software didn't change any thing to keep up with it..
    I did do a manual download, though, after that site in AOL told me I had to.  Then I found out I wouldn't have had to, because it seems that IE 11 comes with the proper player version already installed. But the download I did was for Windows 8, I could not find one for Windows 8.1 anywhere, Could you tell me where to find one?
    I am not sure, if I downloaded a Plugin or Activex. I really don't understand these things. I will have to look that up. If I decide to download again, should I first uninstall the Flash Player that is in my computer now?
    I have thought about the 9.7 update, but I am waiting and see if I can resolve this without having to do that.
    I use:
    WINDOWS 8.1
    IE 11
    FLASH PLAYER 13.0.0.214 (this is for Windows 8, there is no Windows 8.1 on the lists of versions)
    Thanks

  • Getting Big Headache, What is difference between Flash Lite 3.1 and Flash Player 7

    Hello, I am asking questions about the two similar yet different programs for Pocket PC version only:
    1) Which came first, Flash Lite 3.1 or Flash Player 7?
    2) If I have both in my Pocket PC, will there be product incompatibility?
    3) What is the difference between Flash Lite 3.1 and Flash Player 7.
    4) I have a Flash Lite 3.1 but uninstall information says "Flash Lite 3.1 for Opera Mobile", did you releaase this? Is this an illegal copy? A developer's copy?
    *I don't know exactly where I got it, but I got it from the HTC developer's forum: XDA-developers.com
    *I also use Opera mobile, a web browser for Pocket PC's.
    5) What is difference between Flash Lite 3.1 and Flash Lite 3.1 for Opera? Is the only difference is that Flash Lite Supports everything flash related, while Flash Lite Opera supports only flash in opera?
    Hi, I don't expect all answers, but I hope someone or someone from adobe support can clear some things up for me.

    The program under my "remove programs" list is specifically called "Adobe Flash Lite for Opera". The XDA forums people said along time ago that it was Flash Lite, and kept calling it Flash Lite, and not Flash Player 7.
    Now what about this:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashlite/version/
    The table shows the differences between FP 7 SDK, FL 2.1, and FL 3.1. And it's quite obvious that FL 3.1 has way more features than Flash Player 7. What does SDK mean? And why are you telling me FP 7 has more features?
    With this information, can you or anyone else provide any more details and clarification?

I have noticed when i go to particular sites now , like games in FB or games thru my AOL they tell me i need to install the newest version of the flash player. so i do that, go back to that site, same notification appears to install. i dont know ALOT about my laptop but have learned enough to know that i should very well it should be there if i have installed it time and time again  correct? i dont understand the whole basis of what i might need for different sites/games. I have been playing the Big Fish game site since Dec. 2012 and it seems ever since i have been on a daily visit to that site SOMEHOW i cant play any other sites games now. so i read , do this, than this, if this or that is needed..........well it becomes a miss in my brain as to what they are telling/suggesting could be the problem. I truly need someone that has this knowledge to help me learn. i use to play on the webkinz world site for over a year, so last night i thought i would go back in there and again the flash player notice. so something has changed that i am unaware of it and how to solve it. i totally appreciate any help and time someone could give me. thank you,

  • Flash player crashes in every browser

    Hi everyone,
    3 weeks ago I bought a HP Pavilion g6-2052sd laptop. since the first day i used it I haven't been able to play any videos on the internet (youtube, facebook etc.)
    For example when I go to youtube and click on a video it starts loading and then it just stops loading and my browser and operating system freeze. It stays like this for about 5 minutes and then I get an error message saying that my flash player crashed.
    After that my browser and operating system start to function normally again but I still can't play any videos because when I do everything freezes again.
    I have updated all my video and audio drivers and even re-installed my browser and flash player. I have also tried using different browsers(Internet Explorer, Google Chrome) nothing i've tried works. So I am hoping that someone here can help me out.
    I am currently using:
    HP Pavilion g6-2052sd laptop
    Windows 7 home premium 64-bit
    Firefox 15.0.1
    Flash player 11,4,402,278
    Video driver AMD Radeon HD 7520G  version: 8.941.1.0

    there was an identified hp security driver incompatibility.  crashes seem to happen more frequently on HP laptops with fingerprint scanners.  depending on the driver used, users would experience the constant crashes.  if you fall under this...  you can do 1 of 3 things.

  • Recurrent requests to download latest ver. of Adobe Flash Player

    I have Windows 7 Pro 64bit. I have downloaded what is called the latest version of Windows 7 64 bit ver. of ADFP  (Ver. 11.9.900.170) and Adobe says this download minus the Chrome should be 16.4mb. When I download it and it is installed in control panel under the list of programs Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX is shown and the ver. is listed as:
    11.9.900.170 but it shows the program to be only 6.00mb. Also on the left side where there should be a red icon for Adobe Flash Player the icon is NOT red but it is a rectangular box black out line and center white. I have gone to "Manage ad ons" and it is enabled there. Still I get daily requests from www.lumosity.com to "Download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player and they will not let me go on with their program until I do so again. This time everything is the same except the icon on the left side of the program is red as it should be. I also get same requests from World of WarGames, they don't stop the game but at the end they suggest downloading the latest version. When I down load the Flash Player why is it not the 16.4mb they say it will be. Why only 6.00mb. What is disabling Adobe Flash Player. I'm using the 64bit version of internet explorer to download it but it seems I'm only getting the 32bit version of Adobe Flash Player. Could that be the problem? What would be a way to fix this?

  • Flash Player fails to load on start-up

    I recently upgraded to Flash Player 11.2.202.235 for my Win 7 64 bit system and have had nothing but problems since.  I can install Flash Player and it works fine, until I shut down or restart my system.  Once the system restarts, it is as if Flash Player is not loading.  I am using IE 9 and AOL 9.6 as web browsers and am getting the same result in both.  I down loaded google chrome with the flash player to see if that would make a difference, no luck. When I look for flash player, it is in my registered programs and I have a folder for it as well.  I have done the following things: tried downloading with anti-virus on and off, firewall on and off, pop-up-blocker on and off, downloaded through IE9 and through AOL, unistalled and reinstalled, Active X Filtering On and Off.  Nothing seems to work, if I restart the computer, Flash Player is not recognized by any program...even Abobe.  I have tried the troubleshooting forums, no luck there either.  Anyone have any ideas or encountered a similar problem?

    Be sure to use the Administrator Account. Be sure to use the 32bit browser.
    Close all browser windows, you only want to be looking at your Desktop.
    If you have any instant messengers, aol, msn, yahoo or others in the system tray(area near the clock) Disable them.
    Run the Uninstaller and when it is finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
    Run the Installer and when it is finished, Reboot your computer.
    Go here to test your browser. If you can see the Flash logo animation(spinning) and version 10.1.102.64 is displayed, then Flash Player is Installed correctly.  http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

  • Need help installing Flash Player in Mac OSX 10.9.2

    I`ve tried everything, my computer is brand new, and it`s driving me crazy.  Tried installing, uninstalling, everything.  Was able to install a previous version by dragging the .pkg file to the desktop, but when i try to use safari, it disables the program because of security incompatibility.  Please if anyone has had the same problem and fixed it, let me know.  Exactly at 50% progress, it crashes and a message to close safari appears, but safari is already closed.

    Finally Got it!!!  Ok, here is what i did: it was a combination of two things i read in different forums.
    1st: Go to System Preferences>Security and Privacy and in the "allow apps downloaded from: " section, select "Anywhere".   There is a file in the installation bundle from adobe that is not recognized as coming from an "identified developer".   I then went back to the adobe page and re downloaded most recent flash player.  Tried to reinstall it, and again the same problem as before.  Stopped at 50% asking to close Safari.  So i did the following:
    2nd: This time instead of closing Safari by pressing the red button X, I pulled down the safari tab and clicked on exit safari command.  Clicked the retry button on the installation window and magic!!!! it worked.  
    Finally after 5 frustrating hours it worked....  I never thought i would run in to such a problem with a brand new Mac....  with the money i paid for it, would expect much easier performance in the upgrading process.... and compatibility with adobe.... an issue that should have been resolved long ago.  I guess its a problem on both sides....  some clearer instructions for upgrade would be greatly appreciated.

  • Invisible Text in Flash Player on Financial Website

    Just spent an hour on the phone with one of my financial sites on which I can no longer see some important text. They tried everything, none of which worked, and concluded it must be incompatibility of the adobe flash and Snow Leopard. It started right after installation of Snow Leopard. I've since learned that others have this problem too. Any suggestions on how to get this fixed? What can I do?

    It's great that you've isolated the problem to the User account.
    You can usually just drag a plist or sub-folder of preferences to your desktop and an application will replace the missing preference file automatically as needed. You can delete the files when the problem is fixed.
    In your User folder which is often represented in a path as a ~ character there are several Flash related locations.
    ~/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player
    You can dump the cache to see if it's causing a problem.
    ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player
    Here, there are several folders like #Security, #Shared Objects, etc. You can move these folders to the desktop and see if the problem goes away.
    ~/Library/Preferences/Flash 10 MRU
    Move the file to the desktop.
    If you move the folders to your desktop, you could put them back if desired.
    If you remove all of these references from your machine and have to reinstall flash, that's a good thing, but not a usual occurrence for programs like this.
    You might have other preference files that I don't have on my system, and I might have older files laying around in mine because they haven't been noticed as a problem. Typically these files are so small, that they don't matter to anyone.
    Hope this helps. Preference files can be challenging to isolate.

  • Invisible Text in Flash Player Using Windows XP

    I seem to have a problem with the Flash Player and invisible text. The Flash Player will load but there will be some buttons that are not labeled with text, so you don’t know what the buttons are, fill-in text boxes that have no text or text description, so you don’t know what to type in them, and drop-down lists that are blank, but there is supposed to be text to select from.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling FireFox, that did nothing; unistalled the Shockwave Flash Plug-in and reinstalled it, that did nothing; unistalled Flash and Shockwave standalone Players entirely, leaving only the Plug-in, nothing; uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player standalone, nothing there either. I cannot seem to find a solution and every browser I have, the same problem occurs – invisible text.
    I was reading on the Adobe Forum that there is this same issue sometimes with Mac and that the problem seems to be font incompatibility.
    This happens with any browser I use – Firefox, Flock, PaleMoon, IE, Opera, Netscape.
    My OS is Windows XP Home Edition
    Main browser is FireFox version 3.6.17
    Shockwave Flash Plug-in version is 10.3.183.7
    I also have the Shockwave Player standalone version 11.6.1.629
    Has anyone, using Windows, had this same problem? Is there any solution?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Invisible text in Flash enabled web pages is a frustrating problem that is affecting Mac Users who play Farm Town (8.5+ million people on FaceBook) and probably many other games too.  See this forum as an example of the problem:  http://slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2531318
    Before even reading this forum I did everything that appears here with no success and then everything listed in the referenced forum (above) with no success... but the following did fix the invisible text problem and I hope that it will help others too.
    1.  Drag the Font folder from the User directory to the trash  ie. ~/Library/Fonts.  (where ~ is = your User Account Name.)
         Be careful; this is NOT the Font folder in the main library.
    2. Download Font Finagler v1.5 beta for Mac OS 6, and clean the font cashe files following the instructions for this free shareware app.

    3. Open the Font Book app which is a new app that is included with the Mac OS Snow Leopard (10.6). (Font Book is in the Applications folder.) Read the Help info for this app and then: Choose "All Fonts" in the left column and then choose "Select Duplicate Fonts" from the Edit menu. Disable or delete all duplicate fonts that this process identifies. After dealing with the duplicate fonts, select "All Fonts" again in the left column and choose "Validate Fonts" from the File Menu.  Deal with the results that it will display using the help file for guidance.  Interestingly, in my case there were no corrupt fonts in my Mac system, but the validation process identified more duplicate fonts that the previous step did not find. Again deal with the findings and disable or delete the duplicate fonts.
    4. Reboot your Mac and get on with using your Flash enabled web pages.  Duplicate fonts seems to be the problem that cause invisible text in Flash enabled web pages.
    Hope this helps you... it worked for me.

    “Macromedia - Flash Player” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available now from: https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer?
    Did you get it to work! How did you do that cos I can not for the life of me get the download to work.

    Hi Mbro88,
    I posted to you in this topic thread, it is best you stick to one thread,
    where there is already some troubleshooting/ advice taking place.
    Double posting for the same problem can be confusing, at the least.
