Can't Play Video "need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player"
Ever since upgrading to FF 26 I can't play video on YouTube or many other sites.
It says "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video.
Download it from Adobe."
So I click on the link which takes me to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, do the install which goes without trouble.
But afterwards I get the same message when I try to play videos.
Running Windows 7 on a Desktop PC. Having NO problems playing videos in IE or Chrome. FF used to be great but it's becoming more trouble than it's worth.
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
You can try uninstalling it completely via the control panel and then installing it back on to the computer. You can also do a plugin check if you'd like.
Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

Videos won't play in Safari. Notice says, "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video." I have downloaded it, but no change. All videos play OK in Firefox, but I like the controls in Safari better and want to stay with it.
Try deleting Flash cookies.

If that doesn't help, UNinstall the old Flash plugin first, then reinstall new.

This error message appears when trying to view Youtube videos: "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video," even though I have already installed the suggested piece of software.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.youtube.comYou have 2 versions of "Shockwave Flash" (Adobe Flash Player) installed; one very old version (7.0 r19) and the current version (10.0 r45). You can see both "Shockwave Flash" plugins by going to Tools > Add-ons > Plugins. You can disable the old version 7 there.
<u>'''To disable the old version'''</u>:

<u>'''Remove the old plugin'''</u>
1. If the old version 7 is showing as "Adobe Flash Player 7 Plugin" in your Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, you can remove it from there; click on it, click Remove. See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Uninstall-or-change-a-program
2. If the old version 7 is not shown in Add or Remove programs, see: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins#Manually_uninstalling_a_plugin . Some of the old plugins are in the Plugins folder of your programs Firefox install folder and can be renamed or removed from there manually. -

Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.
See:

You can get the Adobe Flash Player here:

You can visit the Adobe welcome and test page to verify if the installation has been successful.

You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video.
HI, I downloaded the new flash player and I still get the above message when watching youtube. It popped up after watching one video then clicking another.
PLease help
ShaneI have the exact same problem and I am going in circles trying to install and use Flash Player. But nothing seems to work. Now I cannot watch ANY videos on Youtube, I cannot use Google Maps (Street View), Pandora Radio is kaput, and so.
I used to get the same notice:
You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video.
But now I don't even get that. Just a black box and nothing else. This is ridiculous.

I have upgraded Flash to 10. and rebooted uninstalled fox, reinstalled and still get the same old thing. getting a little upset
''[Personal information removed by moderator. Please read [[Forum and chat rules and guidelines]], thanks.]''This is an old thread, if you have a problem start your own thread and include as much info as possible. If you are still there ccsebball you certainly will have needed to up update FlashPlayer again. Including email addreses is not wise, the support forum tries to answer questions within the forum, and posting email addresses is only likely to attract spam.
What version of Flash Player is installed now ? <br/>check out this webpage it will test flashplayer for you:

How can i watch videos in which they used adobe flash player?
just want to know how to play adobe flash player videos in my ipad 2? thank you....
Flash is not supported on the iPad and probably never will be, especially as Adobe have recently announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of flash player.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store. -
I play l many games on facebook, which I can't now because they want me to upgrade to adobe flash player 14, my version will not allow me to, Do I need to purchase snow leopard, then upgrade to maverick in order to get flash player 14 to work?
You need to upgrade to Snow Leopard, but don't need to go past 10.6.8 to run the current version of Flash.

Why is Yahoo Stattracker telling me to upgrade my Adobe Flash Player on my Win8 PC?
I am trying to launch Yahoo's Stattracker for fantasy football (which loaded last weekend), but I'm getting back an error telling me to upgrade my Adobe Flash Player to the latest version. I go to Adobe's site and try to download the latest version, but Adobe says it's part of IE on Win8, and that I don't need to upgrade it. But trying to cover all the bases, I follow the 3 steps manually, but to no avail. WTF?

Windows Update automatically updates daily. Checking it, it tells me there are no essential updates to download. So I checked for optional updates, and Adobe Flash Player is not one of them. Adobe site tells me my Flash Player is fine. There must be something wrong with your Stattracker app. I have only been able to load Stattracker 1 of the 3 weeks so far.
Stattracker is Yahoo, Adobe doesn't run it. -
All the web sites I use want Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.32 I downloaded from Adobe and installed it. it did not install in Firefox. I was told to clear cache private data and cookie did it and it still is not installing in Firefox. I have to use IE to visit the sites that upgraded to Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.32, '''I don't like IE'''
Hi oarun,
Yes. There are 2 things, maybe 3 you should try.
Go to Flash download site and DO NOT download 10.2.152.32. Instead look the site for the hotlink that says "for other browsers" and download it. You should see 10.2.152.33 for Safari and other browsers. Download this one. (I don't think you have to uninstall the 10.2.152.32 Flash version but you might have to in case your browser gets confused)
Now, try your Firefox browser and see if the videos work.
If the videos work in Firefox, you should be good to go.
Remember, IE8 and the Flash Update for Windows is where the problem is at from my perspective.
My computer runs Win XP Pro Service Pack 3 and Internet Explorer 8 (IE8). I have been running Windows since 1995 with all the updates. You don't have to be on an Apple Operating System to load the Apple Safari browser. I personally like Safari much better than IE8 but I am running both IE8 and Safari on my computer as we communicate.
Let me know if this works for you. I inserted a screen shot of the Flash download page showing where to download the Flash update for Safari and other browsers but not IE8 below:

Message was edited by: newsguy64 I forgot to tell you. If Firefox does not work, then go to Apple's website and download their Safari browser. I know it works on XP!!! I wish you success.!
Message was edited by: newsguy64 Good grief, I goofed. You are using Chrome, not Firefox. Regardless, the "other browser Flash download is still the ticket, maybe.

I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated."If you've forgotten the Apple ID password how did you log in to make the last post?"
Exactly! The password I used to log on here and write my post I figured was the same Apple ID password I would use to reset my computer login password. But my computer isn't recognizing it as the correct password so it wont let me update my login password. I have 2 user accounts on my computer.
As far as the link you provided, I already looked to that for help earlier. It states:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Users & Groups, click the lock to unlock it, then provide an administrator name and password. Select a user, then click Reset Password.
I did these steps, but I don't remember my admin password. The question is: How do I reset my admin password so I can reset my log in password.
Is my admin password the same password I use to log onto this website to post questions? If so, like I said previously, I already reset that password and my computer isnt recognizing it.
