I cannot add a site to the list of allow micro sites on Flash Player settings manager

I cannot add a site to the list of allow micro sites on Flash Player settings manager.
as Adobe says at his help document (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlayer/LSM/WS6aa5ec234ff3f285139dc56112e3786b68c-7ff8.htm l):
Displays a list of previously visited websites that have asked to use the camera or microphone on your computer. You can allow or block the use of your camera and microphone by sites on the list. You can also ask to be prompted for permission to use them. Finally, you can choose to remove sites from the list. Removing a site deletes all settings and data stored for that site in Flash Player.
The list initially contains only the sites you have already visited. If you want to specify camera and microphone settings for sites you have not yet visited, you can choose to add sites to the list. Once a site is on the list, you can specify whether to always allow camera and microphone use, ask permission, or never allow camera and microphone use by that site.
I cannot find any button to add a website. Can you help me please.
Thanks in advanced

There's a "live" panel here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager06.htm l

"Adobe Flash Player Settings" appears on page, unable to click "allow"- Help!

I'm on an language educational website that is powered by Adobe Flash. There is a feature on the site where you talk, and the website's microphone records you. Unfortunately, I get an "Adobe Flash Player Settings" module when opening it, and I'm unable to click the allow button-or anything on the screen. Help? Below is a screenshot.

No prompt to update when Flash Player Settings Manager is set to check for updates automatically

My understading of http://forums.adobe.com/message/3562892#3562892 (March 2011) is that when an outdated version of the Player is used on Windows, the prompt to update should occur after the next restart of the operating system.
So, when http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ in Safari for Windows shows an outdated version 10.x of the Player:
I restart Windows
I log on
I wait a few minutes.
Problem
Usually, no matter how long I wait, there is no prompt to update; Flash Player Settings Manager continues to show an outdated plug-in alongside a greater version of the ActiveX item.
I see this problem with multiple computers running Windows XP and Windows 7.
Any suggestions?

Flash Player checks for updates every 7 days. The NCP doesn’t change this. Where the user in that post is getting confused is that only after Flash Player detected an update (on average 3.5 days after a new version is released), the dialog will appear after a restart.

Adobe Flash Player Settings

When I go to a site that has a video to accompany the story, the Adobe Flash Player Settings window pop up, as depicted in the print screen image below. See below the image to learn of my problem and question.
I don't know how to stop this from popping up. If I hit allow or deny, I can't get rid of the popup. I'm also getting pages that has ad videos, automatically playing the video, which I don't want to happen. How can I get rid of the pop up, and stop the video from automatically playing?

Yep. Open the Control Panel, find the Flash Player icon and adjust the settings on the Storage tab.

Can't Left Click in Flash Player Settings Panel - HELP PLEASE

Hi and thanks for taking the time to read this. Believe me it is a fraction of the time I have wasted trying to resolve this issue.
Basic problem is:
I am trying to stream to Ustream but since downloading AFP11 for my Windows PC when I open the Flash Player Settings panel i can't left click on anything. It is set to deny but I can't click allow, or close or any of the icons.
Right click does work.
I have followed countless instructions in other forums from other posts that have encountered the problem on Mac and older versions of AFP but as yet none of the solutions have proven succesul.
I have tried all of the following but nothing has resolved the problem.
1. Uninstall and reinstall Adobe Flash Player (although this is impossible using Google Chrome) and restart computer.
2. Unistall flash and install older version. (made no difference on Google Chrome and on IE8 had no flash whatsoever).
5. Uninstall older AFP and reinstall AFP11.
4. Uninstall Google Chrome and restart computer.
5. Uninstall QuickTime (I got this off http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f10/flash-player-not-working-properly-please-help-1 61552.html) and restart computer
6. Last resort use keyboard shortcuts such as tab, enter and ctrl+arrows. This either didn't highlight the panel at all or if it did I still couln't select allow, or close the panel itself so was no help either.
So now I'm back to square one.
Now here's a really bizarre thing... I am using a shared laptop computer and if I use my colleagues profile where she hasn't updated her AFP to Adobe Flash Player 11 the settings panel is responding just fine. IT'S THE SAME PC!
I know I am alone with this problem but someone out there has an answer. If you can help please let me know how to fix this problem where I can't left click in the Adobe Flash Player settings panel.and I will be eternily grateful.
many thanks

OK the amount I hate myself right now is more than a fat guy's self loathing for raiding the fridge at 2am for Pizza but less than an armed robber who's accidentally shot a pregnant woman in the stomach during a shootout. but not much less.
So after I had miraculously got the Flash Player Setting Panel to work again, (after deleting QuickTime and leaving the window open for abut an hour it just started working again) I then got enticed into downloading the ustream producer software.
While downloading it informed me that it would only work with QuickTime.
Stupidly and Optimistically hoping it would remove the need to use flash player altogether I downloaded and installed both.
I then discovered to my horror that Ustream producer is not a patch on Vidbalster and that it was not capable of delivering the same level of broadcast.
I then opened the flash player settings panel on ustream and... the problem has returned!
This means I am 99% sure that QuickTime IS the cause of the problem so I have uninstalled QT off the PC. I have also uninstalled Ustream Producer.
The thing is though, now no matter how many times I restart, or uninstall and reinstall Adobe, or Google Chrome, I am once again UNABLE TO LEFT CLICK IN THE FLASH PLAYER SETTINGS PANEL. AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
What did I do? I fixed it and f***ing broke it again!
Now it properly will not come back to life! the problem is not solved and i urgently need help.
Why does Adobe Flash Player Settings Panel and Apple QuickTime hate each other so much that they've got to ruin my life?
Help forum PLEASE!
Regards,
nik

Adobe Flash Player Settings window keeps popping up

Flash Player version 11.7.700.225
Mac OS 10.6.8 (64 bit)
Browser Safari
When playing news clips I keep getting the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window. And the Allow and Deny buttons don’t work so I can’t get rid of the window without closing the video.
What can I do to correct this?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Sorry to hear that.
The Settings window might pop-up due to insufficient memory allocation, camera/mic adjustments etc.
Can you please look at this page: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html ?
Changing the setting might help you.
With regards,

Unable to set Flash Player Settings (Windows)

How to resolve problems with Flash Player Settings; either unable to change anything on the Settings panel, or new settings won't save:
close all browser windows
open Windows Explorer
in the address bar type %appdata%\Adobe
delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there
in the address bar type %appdata%\Macromedia
delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there

Hi, thanks for the screenshots. Your IE & FF Flash files are correct. However, the FlashPlayer Trust, I don't often see. From what I can tell this was something similar to the current Settings Manager, but for FP(Flash Player) 8 & 9 from Macromedia. I don't know if it is conflicting with the current Settings Manager or not. Cannot get a clarification on that.
All I can tell you is that most systems that I see have certain Flash files for FF and other browsers and the FlashPlayer Trust is rarely among them. Usually there are 4 Flash files for IE, 4 for FF plus the Flash Player.xpt.
In the IE add ons, did you find the Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control...Flash10e.ocx (vs 10.0.45.2) and Enabled?
This will be listed as I've typed it except it may or may not list the version #, but everything else will be listed.
Now on the AVG, do you have the AVG free edition? It and the paid versions also have the LinkScanner, which causes problems. You said you Disabled AVG, did you just right click on the icon in the system tray and disable/turn off/exit?
Or did you Untick the Resident Shield active?
The LinkScanner component consists of 2 features and each needs Disabled.
With Spybot, do you use the Tea Timer?
Since FP is a browser plug-in, anything added to the browser has to be considered.
Thanks,

Adobe Flash Player Settings Local Storage popup from Mafia Wars on Facebook.

I play Mafia Wars on Facebook. I use Mac OS 10.6.5, Flash Player 10.1, and Firefox 3.6.8. Some time ago I received a popup from Zynga entitled Adobe Flash Player Settings, Local Storage asking permission to store info on my harddrive and giving me the option to allow or deny the request. However the popup is stuck; that popup will not go away.
I have contacted Zynga, followed their instructions, and have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player. all with no success. When I play this game on other computers, including PCs, that popup is not there which leads me to the conclusion that the file is on my Mac hard drive somewhere and has nothing to do with the game itself. Please tell me how to find this file so that I may delete it. It spoils my enjoyment of the game because it limits what I can do in the game.
Thanks loads.

Hi, I would go to the Global Settings site here:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.htm l
I would click on the website that gave you the popup and delete that website. Perhaps this will clear it since it is stuck.
When you visit that website again, it will problably ask to store info. Be sure to read about the Website Storage Settings Panel and how it works with the Global Storage Settings Panel.
Thanks,
eidnolb
P.S. If Flash Player is working, there is no need to Uninstall and Install it again. The games and Facebook will try to always tell you something is wrong with Flash Player. Clearly it was working until their pop up stuck, right?

How to specify the position of the flash player settings window

Hi, I have a flex app which turns on a web camera and shows
the video from the camera. When the page first loads the Adobe
flash player settings window displays which you are required to
click on allow or deny.
My question is, is there a way to specify where this settings
window should be positioned on the screen?
You can use this flex test app to see the settings window.

Yeah, it makes sense that we can't modify the contents of the
window, but I'd like the position of the window to be based on the
position of my application... oh well...

I get a pop up of "adobe flash player settings" requesting local storage and it will not respond to either deny or accept. Help please

I get a pop up of "adobe flash player settings" requesting local storage. It will not respond to either deny or accept. Please help.

From the menu bar, select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
Select either one of the radio buttons marked
          Allow sites to save information on this computer
          Block all sites from storing information on this computer
according to your preference. The usual display of Flash content doesn't require that you allow it to save information. Note also that this setting only affects Flash; it has no effect on web cookies or AutoFill.

Adobe Flash Player Settings Local Storage dialogue box

An 'Adobe Flash Player Settings Local Storage' dialogue box has recently began appearing (since upgrading to latest version of FP) whenever I play a vid e.g. on YouTube. It gives a URL (not always the same one) and says it 'is requesting permission to share info on your computer' with two buttons for Allow and Deny. With all the recent concerns about hackers getting in on the back of plug-ins and add-ons such as Flash Player, I've been clicking Deny. Is it safe to 'Allow' and is this part of the Adobe FP software? If its not safe and my computer has been compromised, what can I do to clean my PC? Many thanks.

You can control the way Flash behaves using the Global Settings Manager. The panel you see there are the actual settings on your own machine. Use the menus on the left to load other panels. The Help files explain what each setting does.

Cannot upgrade Flash Player from 11.8.800.94 to 11.8.800.174

I have Flash Player 11.8.800.64 on Windows 8 on my laptop. I want to upgrade to 11.8.800.174 but I cannot because when I try to a screen comes up saying it is unnecessary to install.
I cannot watch videos because the screen is always green. Everyone is telling me to adjust the video settings but I cannot. THERE ARE NO VIDEO SETTINGS AVAILABLE WHEN I RIGHT CLICK. The only settings are Privacy, Local Storage, Microphone, and Camera. I don't know why. In all the help videos there is another option for video but it does not exist for me when I right click. Frustrating.
Also, I am in Desktop mode, not Modern mode. I watched that unhelpful video three times.
I used to be able to watch videos fine but now I cannot watch any at all and nothing has changed. Strange.
I want to upgrade but cannot. Mainly I just want to watch videos without the green screen.

Flash Player on Windows 8 is updated by Windows Update.
Regarding "green" screen; that usually indicates an outdated graphics driver; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765

Flash Player Settings box Won't Close

Hi! I'm using windows 7, Internet Explorer. For months now nearly every time I try to watch a video the "adobe flash player settings" box pops up with the "allow/deny" screen. Whichever I click, the box won't go away. The whole video will play with that box right in the middle, blocking the screen. How do I close this box? I can't even move it out of the way.
I've searched for an answer, but apparently I'm the only one in the world with this problem because I can't find this topic when I search on google or yahoo.

The problem is related to our anti-clickjacking logic. Because there are pixels changing around the dialog, we think that something may be obscuring the dialog when you click, so we don't register it as valid.
The dialog is coming up because you've set a non-default setting in Flash (probably restricting the ability of sites to store Local Shared Objects on your computer). The easiest way to get around this problem is to just get rid of the dialog entirely by allowing LSOs. You can do this by going to Control Panel > Flash Player > Storage> Allow sites to save information on this computer.
This control comes from way back in the '90s, when marketers were abusing this capability of Flash to track consumer behavior by storing unique identifiers. While this technique is still used to some degree, the capabilities of HTML5 and server-side fingerprinting have far outstripped Flash's usefulness as a tracking technology for marketers in both ease and resilience. So, while you can still disable LSOs on your computer, it offers you very little in terms of privacy in 2015, and it degrades the user experience significantly.
Instead, when you do want to use Flash Player without accumulating information that might later be used to track you, use your browser's Private/Incognito browsing mode. Flash Player will still be allowed to store things on your computer (so the content runs as expected with no degradation in the experience), but it all goes into a temporary location that's destroyed when you exit the browsing session.
