Can't view flash in Facebook - Anywhere else is fine!

Okay, so new laptop and, no matter what I do, I can't view flash in Facebook. When I click on the video I get an error saying "Flash Player upgrade required". If I click upgrade I am told by the adobe page that my player is already up to date.
I can view flash ANYWHERE else, but not in facebook. If a youtube clip is embedded in facebook I get the error message, but if I click through to the video on youtube and view it directly, it works fine.
I have tried everything. I have tried clearing my cache, deleting the adobe player cache, reinstalling my browser, re-installing flash player. Nothing I do will let me watch flash embedded in facebook. It makes no sense.
I am running Windows 7 - 64bit. Chrome is my browser, but I have exactly the same issue in any browser. I have disabled my virus scanner (avast) but the problem persists. This seems to be a fairly common problem judging by my google searches, but there never seems to be an answer.
This is a new laptop, so hardly anything installed.
Oh, apparently I am running version 10,3,181,22

  • Can't View Flash Content in Opera 9

    Hello,
    I'm having viewing Flash content with Opera 9. I have downloaded and installed the latest version of Flash (9.0.18), and my other browsers have no problem showing the Flash content.
    Am I missing something here with getting Opera 9 to display Flash movies, etc.? I can't figure out how to instruct the browser to display it.
    Many thanks,
    sarah

    Sheeesh, fixed it.
    Open Opera 9 Preferences
    Click the Advanced Tab at the top
    Select Downloads in the left column, you will get a Mime type window
    Scroll and find .swf extension then click Edit
    At the bottom of the window that opens it should be checked "Use plug-in" and show Shockwave Flash
    Select Shockwave Flash and you will see another one listed as well, swap to it and restart Opera.
    Somehow, even though I did uninstall all older components, it's found and used the wrong one.
    Now Flash works fine in Opera 9, Safari and Firefox.

  • Can't View Flash sites, Quicktime Logo Error

    I have a Intel based Mac that was running Flash Player 8 for
    my browsers, Safari, FireFox and IE. Things were going just dandy
    until I came across a site that needed Flash Player 9 in order to
    view. So I go to the Macromedia download center to get the latest
    version of Flash Player 9 and install the Intel based Mac version.
    Unfortunately, not only can I not see the Flash test page on
    Macromedia's site but now I can see any Flash website at all in all
    3 browsers. I get a Quicktime Logo with a question mark over it. I
    went through every step on Macromedia's Flash Player
    Troubleshooting list and no luck. Would anyone happen to know how
    to fix this?
    Thanks very much!

  • How can I view flash emails?

    Is there an app that will allow me to view emails that come with flash-based video?  Thank you for your help.  Tom

    A press release from Adobe announced a "new version of Adobe Flash® Media Server that can now deliver Flash technology to Apple iPhone and iPad devices," causing some confusion among users who know that Apple's devices do not support Flash at all.
    In reality, Adobe will simply be adding the ability for its Flash-branded server product to serve standards-based HTML5 video in addition to Flash video.
    Adobe later noted that, "with Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5, media publishers now have a single, simple workflow for delivering content using the same stream to Flash-enabled devices or to the Apple iPhone and iPad."
    The move to add non-Flash output to its existing Flash development workflow was the solution Steve Jobs recommended Adobe take in April of 2010 when he penned "Thoughts on Flash," which ended the with the comment, "perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind."
    Jobs roundly criticized Flash as being a proprietary technology controlled by Adobe, and noted that the majority of Flash content was simply web videos locked in the Flash format, much of which was already available to iOS users in non-Flash versions, such as with YouTube, Vimeo, Netflix and others.
    Jobs also called out Adobe's Flash Player as having reliability, security and performance issues, noting that Adobe kept promising a mobile version that it simply could not ship throughout 2009 and into 2010. "We think it will eventually ship, but we’re glad we didn’t hold our breath," Jobs wrote. "Who knows how it will perform?"
    Adobe has since shipped a mobile Flash Player for other platforms, including Android, but it continues to deliver the same performance, security and battery life problems that its desktop version exhibits. Fortunately, the majority of Flash content is simply web video and, as Jobs recognized a year and half ago, most of it is now available via alternative open standards.
    Adobe's new support for the open HTTP Live Streaming protocol Apple developed and supports in its iOS mobile devices and on Mac OS X will help developers deeply invested in Flash to reach new audiences of iOS users and further erase the need for the Flash plugin on any platform.
    Adobe's new video server tool will not benefit developers who create websites based on Flash or applets or games built in Flash, none of which is accessible from iOS devices or from PCs that have not installed Adobe's Flash Player plugin.

  • How can you view flash video on ipad

    Is there an app that you can get that will let you watch flash video on your iPad? Since adobe flash is not supported on iPad

    You can try one of the app/service combinations for playing Flash such as Skyfire , Puffin, or iSwifter. One of those might work for you, though they all have limitations and do not work with all Flash-based sites and services
    Regards.
    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base, before you post a question.

  • Can't view flash on websites without clicking on word flash

    I am on a mac running snow leopard.  I just downloaded flash player from Adobe.  I installed.  It's on my desktop.  IF i go to any website that has a flash player image, all I see on the screen is a grey window with the word Flash.  If i click on the word, then i see the flash, but it doesnt' happen automatically like it used to on my old g-5 mac..  Why?
    also, I want the flash icon off my desktop, where can I put it, do I move it to applications folder?

    Hi, you may want to read the system requirements for Flash Player to make sure your system is supported.
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/systemreqs/ 
    This is the Mac Troubleshooting Guide that may help:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html
    When you use the Flash Player Uninstaller(need to do) and Reboot(restart your computer) then you need to use the Flash Player Installer to Install it, then Reboot. Flash Player is a browser plugin and works thru your browser. It is not a standalone
    Player.
    I'm not that familiar with Mac, but the Flash Player icon may represent the Installer? Read the Troubleshooting Guide which may be helpful. I think you could use "Trash" to remove the icon? Not sure, just have read that somewhere.
    Hope this helps.

  • Flash Player 7 installed but still can't view Flash

    Hi,
    I've put the Flash Player 7 for Windows Mobile 5 onto my
    IPAQ. I run the fp7_ppc_en.CAB and it appears to install correctly.
    However, when I try visit the Adobe site to test whether the Flash
    Player is working or not (using IE), I am informed I need to
    install Flash Player! I have tried the installation several times
    without luck. I got the .CAB file from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer_pocketpc/downloads/player.html
    How come it isn't working?
    Thanks,
    Clive

    I have the same problem with Flash Player 10

  • EZXS16W linksys 16 port switch, can open homepages but cannot navigate anywhere else.

    I recently installed a network for a friends business. They have 8 computers for their network. To start I connected the cable modem to a linksys wireless n router and then i have plugged in a EZXS16W linksys 16 port switch. Everything has been working fine for about a month until last week. Everything starts fine in the mornings when they turn on all the computers and continues to work fine for a couple of hours. After that they can open up their homepages (each computer has a different one) but when you try to go to another web page it can take up to 10 minutes or never load at all. If i restart the router and switch everything goes back to normal for several hours then happens again. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    Are you facing these problem on all your Wired Computer or certain wired computer? In these case i would suggest you to lower down the MTU size on your Router from 1500 to 1350 and then check if you face these same problem or not.
    If the same problem persist then i think you need to upgrade the firmware of your Router.

    Generally when it comes to issues with video playback it has to do with a few QuickTimes settings. The following articles should help depending on the OS.

  • Problem viewing flash in Safari. (used to work fine?)

    Hi, I use Safari for most browsing, and it has been fine until the last few weeks, Now I cannot see the flash content on any site. I get a Quicktime Q with a ?mark in it. I cannot right click to get the Flash menu either.
    When I test the same sites in Firefox they work fine.
    I have updated my Flash from the adobe site and this has not worked either.
    My recent downloads are to to with SWF file reader and a few for Rapidweaver.
    Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3). With all the latest updates installed.
    Thought about deleting Safari and re-installing it with a new download. But I would rather find out what the real problem is, rather than this last resort option.
    Thanks
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    QuickTime System Preferences/Advanced tab
    Open MIME Settings
    Under Miscellaneous remove the check mark for Flash Media
    Quit and relaunch Safari and try the Flash Site again.

  • Ryanair 'flights' dialog box does not load; all the rest works, and in Opera it works; can you help? it seems everything else works fine

    Ryanair 'flights' dialog box does not load; I tried in other languages too, it is the same error; it works fine with opera browser in this very same computer I am writing in; please help, if you can; it worked up to two months ago, then I don't know, too long has past from last time I used ryanair, and the rest works all fine, it seems... thanks so much for your time,

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />

  • Using FF 3.6.13 and get 406 error and can't view my own website, other browser work fine

    All of a sudden I get this error, 406 Not Acceptable
    An appropriate representation of the requested resource /postersschool.html could not be found on this server.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    Hi halacious, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Airport & Bluetooth are two separate Interfaces, so that is a bit confusing.
    Where is this Website hosted? Locally on your own machine, or on the Internet?
    Any Router involved there?

  • HT2506 After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer

    After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer anymore. Any ideas would be helpful thanks

    Merely clicking the Preview icon in the Dock doesn't cause it to open anything, unless you had one or more windows open the last time it quit.
    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
    1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    3. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    4. In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
