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.

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.

It's not a virus.
Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is redirecting your browser. Use Open DNS to avoid that. Open DNS adds security and anti phishing filters and it's free.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

There are hidden pages in the PDF form I have. How can I see and print all without clicking on the

I have hidden pages in the PDF form I'm using (but didn't create). How can I see and print all the pages at once without clicking on the "next page" button. In the initial view, there are four pages, but if I click the "next page" button, there are a total of 12 pages in this document. This is three budget years, each year being 4 pages long.

You're most likely dealing with a dynamic XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer. You can open it, click the button, and save it, and it will most likely be 12 pages when next opened, but it depends on how the form is set up. The ability to make edits to an XFA form in Acrobat is very limited, especially for dynamic forms, so things like flattening aren't possible.
If it's not an XFA form, you'd still need to click the button at least once and save. To say for sure what's possible, I'd need to see the document. Can you post it somewhere?

Can't view messages on website after Yosemite upgrade

A friend built me a website some time ago and people can leave me messages. After the Yosemite upgrade, I can still see a new message has come in but when I click the "view" button, nothing happens. I can't open the message to read it. I wondered if it was just my mac so I tried to view them on hubby's macbook. Same thing. We do both have adblock on our macs.
I dug out our old, Sony laptop and fired it up....running XP. I logged into the website and clicked the view button on the messages.....they opened right up. Does anyone have an idea what settings I need to change in Yosemite to be able to view my website messages? Thanks

Once connected to the PC.. you will have to Sync the messages to see them on PC..
Open OVI Suite..Goto Sync-->Sync Now-->Messages...when the process is over, you will be able to see them in the OVI Suite.. Just syncing the messages may not show you senders' / receivers' name but only the numbers... so sync the contacts too...

Why does the Add-ons manager take an excessive time to load and can I view my add-ons without going to the add-ons manager?

When I start my browser up my everything that I have been working on comes up without any problem and I can open a new tab to go to another site without a problem, but when I go to the Add-ons Manager it can take over 3 minutes to load and that's if I don't stop it. My other question is can I view my add-ons, plugins, etc without having to open the Add-ons Manager?

Check out this similar thread: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/836711 Some websites, Mozilla included, appear to think I'm using a different version of Firefox from the one I am using; how can I fix this? | Firefox Support Forum]. Does that help?

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.

If I rent from iTunes on iPad, can I view on Apple TV without AirPlay?

I've rented a movie off iTunes on my iPad 2. It's downloaded on on my iPad 2 fine.
I know you can AirPlay it to my Apple TV 2, but is there a way to just watch using my Apple TV 2? Where will I find it? Is this possible at all? Or once you've rented on a device you can't watch it on another without using AirPlay?
Cheers

Why don't you want to use airplay?
If you want to watch it directly on ATV then just rent directly.
As per Apple
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1657
So the options are to airplay or watch directly.

Why did my calendar view suddenly change? Using iOS 7.1 and I've been using this version for a few weeks with no problem with my calendar. Now the view has changed and I can't view a list mode without seeing the month too

Why did my calendar view suddenly change in iCal? I've been using ios7 fôr a few weeks now with no problems. Suddenly, without any updates or anything, the calendar view changed and I can no longer view it as a list without having the entire month seen as well.

Hey Gattypyle,
Thanks for the question. You simply need to go back to Day/Week view, then tap the list-view icon once more.

ICal gets "stuck" on date - can't view a different week without quitting

I haven't seen anyone else post this, but it's getting really annoying. Every now and then, iCal gets "stuck" on a particular week. If I click on a new date in the calendar, it is highlighted, but the date I am on remains highlighted as well, and the week view does not change to the new week.
When I am clicking on "To Dos" the list magically moves from the item I am clicking to another item on an earlier date - essentially the list scrolls to the top of the list, and instead of clicking on the item I want, I am clicking on whatever item is in the bottom of the window when viewed from the top of the list. When this happens, the week view changes to the week of that "To Do" item's due date, and - again - will not let me change the week that I'm viewing.
Anyone know of something I can delete or purge or cross out with a magic marker to make this stop happening?

Actually, I only addressed your first complaint about the view being stuck to a specific week when a todo item in that week is selected.
It turns out I am also experiencing something that looks like your second complaint, about the wrong todo item being selected when you try to click on one. What I am seeing is the following: just like you can't show a date and its events outside of the current week if a todo item in the current week is selected, you can't show a todo item outside of the current week if an event in the current week is selected. If you scroll down and try to select the todo item, the list scrolls back up automatically, and you end up selecting a different todo item in the current week.
I also reported this to Apple in the same bug report.
So, good rules of thumb are the following:
- If you want to select/show an event or a day outside of the current week, make sure you first select an event in the current week;
- If you want to select a todo item outside of the current week, make sure you first select a todo item in the current week.
Hope this helps, while the guys at Apple are (hopefully) working on a fix. But I am rather pessimistic. My experience with bugs I reported in the past is that they are only fixed if they are critical, security-related bugs. If they are just usability bugs with workarounds like this one, they are only fixed in the next major release of OS X. But let's cross our fingers. There are so many people complaining about iCal on these forums that Apple might want to do something about it. But people who have complaints or requests about a product should send them directly to Apple, and assume by default that they are not reading this forum.
You can send your complaints on the following site:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
The more people file complaints, the more likely they are to be fixed soon. You might want to put a link to this discussion thread so they know exactly what you are complaining about.
