Can't get Flash to work in my IE 9

I Can't get Flash to work in my IE 9. I have gone through the other fixes from this site, but still can't get it to work. Any suggestions?

Have you tried the suggestions outlined in these two faqs? If so, was the shockwave component found and enabled?
Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer
ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer
Thanks,

[SOLVED] can't get flash to work

First i tried copying the flashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins dir, but it didnt exists yet, so i did a searh and i found. This http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … bit_System tried installing nspluginwrapper but it didnt work after restarting firefox. Tried manually installing the flashplater.so files again, since there was a dir there. Tried pacman -S flashplugin after i found that to be the most up to date way. None of this has worked, any ideas? I installed the 10.0.42.34 version. I never restarted anything other than firefox either. Thanx for any help.

Yes, sorry about the editing, i just spent 10 minutes looking for the edit buttons and then the submit buttons, my new style made them invisible:P . I had a thought though. Before i installed gnome i had installed firefox, could i have installed a second copy while installing gnome or done something else to cause me difficulty? I like firefox but i guess i'll try getting flash to work in some other browsers and see how that goes. Also, firefox isnt detecting any plugins in its add-ons section, perhaps thats a clue?

Can't get flash to work in firefox

On I. E. the flash movie works fine but when it is tried in firefox it doesn't appear. A right click of the mouse shows that the flash is there but it doesn't work. Is there something that has to be added or removed in order to make this work properly in firefox? Going to other sites and the flash works fine except when it comes to my site? There is a possibility that it is my coding but it was cut and paste from adobe. The rationale is that firefox should be able to handle this code but it doesn't? Any ideas?

Not meaning to give you mis-information. Am struggling to overcome this problem and have been able to get the firefox to host the embedded swf.
What has happened is that the web page has been recreated specifically for firefox. Being under the impression that if the embed was done on I. E. then it would tranfer to firefox automatically. This doesn't seem to be the case. In a workaround it was decided that re-doing the page would be the best way to go.
Your assistance has been and is very beneficial in that you made me aware of the publish aspect in flash. Imagine Homer Simpson giving his "D'oh!"
Not sure if what is being done is right but it works. Am able to send it to the server, able to see it working as needed and am now looking at reading the browser to send the right page.
Were it not for your information then there would be a whole lot of struggling left to do. Let me know if this is the right track, please.
Thank you!

Can't get flash to work on Safari

Hey so recently I wiped my hard drive and reinstalled snow leopard to get rid of a messy computer full of files. Anyways when I reinstalled snow leopard I had to download adobe flash again. The download and install go fine but when I open up Safari it says I don't have flash player installed when I try to watch Youtube or Facebook videos. The weird thing is that Firefox has it installed and works fine. Any help?

HI,
Try uninstalling your current copy of Flash, reinstall new, then repair permissions.
Go here and follow the instructions. Uninstall Flash
Install the most recent version of Flash here.
Now repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
You must uninstall the old copy first !!

How can I get Flash to work with my N-trig stylus on my Surface Pro 3?

Flash doesn't work at all with the N-trig stylus on the Surface Pro 3 with the latest WinTab drivers installed. The only freehand marks I can make create large useless lines that extend way beyond the lower-right corner the stage. Is Adobe aware of this?

Many people (including me) are also having the same issue. There are several other threads about this too on adobe and Microsoft websites. Some people are even having this issue with tasblets other thsn the surface pro 3, and this is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE WE ARE PAYING MONTHLY FOR A PROGRAM THAT IS RENDERED USELESS BY THIS BUG!! I mean in almost every thread an adobe representative says the problem has been fixed internally and will be resolved with the next update, BUT WHEN IS THAT!!?? I mean if they are gonna sit here and have issues like this, they need to update them NOW not later, as we are paying EVERY MONTH and get updates like every 4-6 months. So instead of getting frequent minor and small updates to address things like this, they decide to leave us paying for a broken program for months until they're ready to release big update which will probably come with more bugs that we'll have to wait forever to get fixed all over again,
but LONG STORY SHORT:according to many adobe reps "the issue has been fixed internally and will be resolved with the next update"

Can not get Flash to work

My computer was reimaged the other day and since then I have had to reinstall a number of programs. Today when I tried to view an online show I found that my flash driver was no longer there. I have tried to install it through the adobe site but not having any luck getting the program to run.
I have version 10,3,181,14 installed. I have Windows 7 64 Bit systtem runing Professional. I am using IE9. In my C: drive under sys I have a Macromed folder with bot the Activex10 .exe file and Flashutil10 .ex file both of which have been installed. During the download process it used Adobe Download Manager and when it seems to get towards the end it disappears and no further instructions are seen.
I go back into the shows and still it does not work. Any ideas? Much appreciated.

I think it would be best to start with a clean reinstall:
download the FP uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html (save it to disk);
download the installer (EXE) from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html (save to disk);
close all browser windows, then run the downloaded uninstaller, followed by the installer.
Now can you see the Flash animation (rotating red 'F') at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ ?

You don't specify an OS or browser, but based on everywhere I've seen this, I can pretty well surmise that you're using either Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 and Internet Explorer 11.
Your problems come from the abomination Microsoft calls a browser---Internet Exploder 11.
IE has always been the problem child of browsers, but 11 has got to be the biggest pile of garbage to come out of Redmond, WA since Vista. They rewrote the "User-Agent Strings", which websites use to identify the browser and provide the proper content for it, like ActiveX specific things. Some sites now ID it as Gecko (Firefox) while others ID it as Webkit (Chrome or Safari). Problem is, that when the content is adjusted for those User-Agent Strings, it REQUIRES the appropriate browser engine, which IE doesn't have (IE uses a Trident engine). EVERYTHING falls apart after that.
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 has 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.

Help! I can't get flash to work.

All I am trying to do is go to abc.com to watch an episode of
a show but it keeps telling me that I need a macromedia flash
player downloaded. I have downloaded, uninstalled, re-downloaded,
re-uninstalled, etc. for the past 2.5 hours and have accomplished
nothing! I don't know what happened last week I was able to view
the videos on the site with NO problems.
HELP! I've tried going into Internet Options and adjusting
things there and I am just out of ideas.......
Anyone know what to do to fix this?

same damn problem I was probably having...When using IE and
deleting temporary internet files it disables/corrupts/removes
proper function of the adobe flash player....You can reinstall all
night long and it will claim a "successful" installation but, it is
not....YOU MUST FIRST UNINSTALL ADOBE FLASH PLAYER USING THE ONLY
TOOL THAT WILL DO THIS WHICH IS THE FLASH PLAYER UNINSTALLER FROM
THE ADOBE WEBSITE....BE SURE AND SAVE IT TO YOUR DESKTOP BECAUSE
YOU WILL BE USING IT FOREVER.....Once you have used the uninstaller
program you can then successfully and truthfully download the
latest adobe flash player..............
Adobe
Uninstaller at bottom of page
Further description of the problem: When you clean out your
temporary files and/or temporary objects some critical part of the
Flash9 goes with it and your flash will NOT operate...you can try
and reinstall it all night long...your dead...nothing....you must
FIRST GO TO THE ADOBE UNINSTALLER (hyperlink shown above) and run
that program to uninstall COMPLETELY the flash9....Having done
that, you can now install the flash and this time it will
take......
another answer in addition to the one described above is to
upgrade your IE to IE7. This seems to eliminate the problem
concerning the functionality of the Flash9 and PC
maintenance….keep your fingers crossed.
Let me know the results………..

Can't get flash to work with PulseAudio [Solved]

I have Pulseaudio configured according to the Wiki and everything works except flash. If I bring up a flash site, it takes over the sound card and plays fine, but won't let the card go until I shut down Firefox. During that time nothing shows up in the PA volume control. I've installed alsa-utils and libflashsupport and flashplugin-10. I also have my .asoundrc set up according to all of the sites that should force everything to pulse.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Nevermind. Apparently you don't need libflashsupport with Flash 10. I removed it and it started working.

Can't get flash to work on my computer

I installed flash player successfully but can't find it on my computer. When I try and open an swf file it tells me i need to install flash which i have already done

What OS?
What browser?

Can't get Flash to work on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Browser

It says it is installed but every site that runs Flash tells me that it is not installed and that I need to download it
I am running Android 3.2, and according to the Android Market App, the Flash Player version installed is the latest available.
What do I have to do???

Hi Fabio,
Do the solutions outlined in this FAQ help?

Cant get Flash to work in Safari!

I have several Mac set ups.
On some of them, Flash content plays back fine in Safari.
But on this system :
Leopard 10.5.5
Model Name: Power Mac G5
Model Identifier: PowerMac7,2
Processor Name: PowerPC 970 (2.2)
Processor Speed: 1.8 GHz
Number Of CPUs: 2
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 3 GB
Bus Speed: 900 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 5.1.4f0
I can not get Flash to work, EVER!
Drives me crazy.
I have installed the latest version of Flash over and over.
It never takes.
I've had this problem for about a year.
I've read these forums over and over.
I've asked my tech guy at work a dozen times.
He cant figure it out.
Is there no solution other than using Firefox?
This is ridiculous.

The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
Note that Adobe requires you to uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing.
Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player versions (v.9.0.115.0 and 9.0.124.0) in some cases conflict with Leopard 10.5.4, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1
You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2008-007. (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
But the latest version 10 of FlashPlayer should work fine.

Can someone help me find a workaround to get flash to work in XP Pro 64 bit, like there is a workaround for vista 64 bit?

Can someone help me find a workaround to get flash to work in XP Pro 64 bit, like there is a workaround for vista 64 bit?
I am trying to get rid of all my 32 bit apps because the more of them you run in 64 bit the less resources are available.
Firefox has a 64 bit browser they call the Shiretoko build. I love it, it's twice as fast as a heavily tweaked 32 bit firefox. Java has a 64 bit plugin that works with it.
The last holdout is Adobe.
Microsoft is making Vista and Win 7 64 bit as easy and smooth as the 32 bit versions as a means to get people to start using them.
Linux has a way to make flash work with 64 bit.
Remember when we all had a 16 bit operating system and how much better things got with 32 bit?
Adobe, it's time!.. don't you see that?
Can someone help me solve my problem? Please?

no the audigy 2 zs is pci based. they have another called audigy 2 zs notebook and that's the one for laptop. if you can't find it from your vendor, you can always try getting it from someone else.
