Cannot use Flash player after 10.2, have to keep reverting back to that version or earlier.

I am frustrated. I cannot use any flash versions later than Adobe® Flash® Player Installer/Uninstaller 10.2 r159 . If I update to version 11 or later I cannot watch any flash videos. The audio will play but the video freezes and pauses.
I have been trying to find a solution to this issue, versions 10.2 and earlier work fine but ever since the new flash was released and I have tried to update, I run into the same problem and have to revert back to 10.2 or earlier.
I thought maybe it might have been the video card but I had it replaced and same issue and I have two other notebooks with the same exact hardware but different OS and they are able to use Adobe 11 just fine.
The issue is also present when using Linux (Ubuntu).
My configuration.
Operating system:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
and
Ubuntu
Processor:
Intel T9300 2.5Ghz
Video card:
Nvidia GeForce 8700M GT
Memory:
4GB
I would like if someone could help me with this issue. I am frustrated becasue sites are 'requiring / mandating' that I update to Adobe 11 but if I do so I cannot use part of the site, for example Facebook or Youtube.
Thanks in advance for any feedback....

That seems to have solved the problem.
Question though, why does turning the hardware acceleration off make the videos play better in high definition? I'm kinda baffled.
My video card driver is nv4_disp.dll , version 6.14.0012.6658, date 1/7/2011
I have tried many different Nvidia drivers trying to solve that issue and even had the video card replaced thinking it was the cause, but had the same problem with a new video card so thought I would try here.
Seems to work for me though now with the lastest version of flash but still I am confused why this is so.
Thank you for your help.

Flash Player 11.2 is horribly insecure and no longer supported. Please update to Flash 11.6

Why can't I find nor use flash player after a successful install

Just purchased an Imac Pro with OSX 10.8.5 and after various attempts to install/use Flash Player I'm still confused as to why the installer says all is well with the installation "installation succesfully completed" with no errors whatsoever, the troubleshooting site and, for that matter all applications, say "please install the latest Flash Player"

Spotlight search “Flash Player.plugin” (Search “This Mac” and choose "Show All in Finder")
Right click the Plugin and select “Open Enclosing Folder” Trash the Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt files.
Go to: [user]/Library/Preferences.
Note: You'll need to hold the "Option" key when you click "Go" from the Finder menu to access the [user] Library:
Without the "Option" key
And WITH
Trash the Macromedia folder there.
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support. Trash the Macromedia folder there.
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Preference Panes (not Preferences, but Preference Panes). Trash the Flash Player.prefpane file there.
Empty the trash.
Download the Flash Player (For Mac OS X) again if necessary.
Quit Safari and go to your downloads folder. Double click the DMG to “mount it”.
It will appear on your desktop and a small window will open.
Double click the installer. If you see a warning, click “Open” to let it run.
Click “I have read and agree… etc.” and click “Install”. Enter your password when asked.
You may see the following: click “Force Close All” if you do, and then click “Retry”.
The installer will run.
Choose your update preference, and click “Done”.
Open Safari again and click Safari>Preferences (Cmd+,)

Screen Flickering when using flash Player after suspend

Hey,
I've got a Samsung R40+ a pretty old Laptop everytime I set him to suspend and wake him afterwards the Screen flickers as soon as I use Flash player. I'ts mainly black and white stripes flashing across the screen especially bad when I watch Videos in Fulscreen. This happens with the Flashplugin aswell as with the Pepper-Flash in Chrome.
This has been an Issue Forever even back when I used Ubuntu I just Ignored it and never Let My Laptop suspend but if there is a solution I would love That.

I cannot use flash player at all for some reason...

I have windows 7, I run the 62-bit like I was told, I use Internet Explorer 9, and my system should be fully capable of running flash player. Whenever I use a site that has adds or videos relying on flash player, said add or video just flashes as I move the mouse back and forth across the screen. Youtube works fine for me. The problems started when I got a newer version of flash player and so far none of my efforts have solved my problem. I'd rather not mess around with things without consent from this point onward to avoid any serious problems with my computer. Just to be clear, I am running the proper version of flash player with correct settings and it is not working on certain sites (every site but youtube).

What sites?
Go to this site: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Can you see the spinning F?
Move your pointer to where the spiining F was, right click, click settings and uncheck Hardware acceleration.
Go view some videos, is the problem solved?
What is your video adapter and driver version?

I can't open anything that uses flash player in Firefox, I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and no luck! but flash works fine on my seamonkey browser, can anyone please HELP me?

None of the flash games will work on FF, I have even uninstalled FF and reinstalled it, I have disabled QuickTime, I have uninstalled Adobe flash and reinstalled it and still NOTHING! Flash works fine on Seamonkey though

Check that plugin scanning is turned on (it should be by default). If it is turned off Firefox will not search the Windows registry for details of plugins that it can use.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''plugin.scan.plid.all''', if the value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change it to '''true'''
If it was set to false, re-start Firefox to see if the Flash plugin is now available.
Also make sure that you have installed the version of Flash used by Firefox. You should have it because SeaMonkey is using it, but if the Flash plugin is in SeaMonkey's own plugins folder Firefox may not be able to see it.
Download the latest plugin from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/completion/?installer=Flash_Player_10.2_for_Windows_-_Other_Browsers and run it to install the version of Flash used by Firefox, this will install it in the default location so that Firefox should be able to find it.

I cannot use Flash Player on Anymeeting

I use an online conferencsing serveice called "Anymeeting." It requires Adobe Flash Player with more than 12 version. I've already installed Flash Player 15. However when I try to enter the system, the same error which says it needs Flash Plyer appears.
The meeting system is installed in the PC and when I start it, it accesses the meeting server online with Flash contents in my understanding.
I couldn't get any respose from anymeeting support center.
I use Windows 7, IE11 (32bit). In tool bar, I check Shock Wave Flash object is on.
I use Adobe Cloud and installed Adobe Flash Professional CC2014, so I was wondering if it affects the meeting system.
If I get any idea to solve the problem, I will really appreciate it. Than kyou.

I never click on a link from Nigeria. They are well known for email scams and other types of internet fraud.

HT1338 I am trying to download adobe flash player on to my ipad2 i keep getting this massege that safari does not support this ?

Hi
anyone there
I want to down load adobe flash player to my I pad but a massage show up saying Safari does not support this ?
Anyone there?

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
Puffin
SkyFire
Photon Flash
Browse2Go
iSwifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

I'm having problems when Firefox 5 uses Flash Player.

Whenever the browser uses Flash player ''(ex. Facebook games)'', my browser becomes so slow, that even opening a new tab takes time to load.
One more thing, whenever I watch videos from youtube, although the buffer is finish, the video is choppy.
Any solutions with this?

No solution but some general comments
It may be worth disabling firebug, and any other unnecessary extensions, also consider any other background tasks, for instance is the computer indexing drives, or doing other downloads or security scans.
Experiment with hardware acceleration on and off, in both firefox prefs, and FlashPlayer settings. Ensure any video drivers are up-to-date.
Do you need the multiple java consoles, and is there any possibility skype may slow things down ?
It may be worth considering a new separate profile just for flashplayer gaming.

Cannot install Flash player 11 on Mac using 10.6.8

Follow instructions here to remove the existing installation: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html (even if you think it's not installed)
Then download the version you want from here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

Black screen after using flash player 3 or 4 times

Hi!
I've had this problem for a long time: After having played three or four videos using flash player for example, my screen turns completely black and I have to force a shut down of my PC. With how much flash is still used in browsers, this is extremely annoying and a waste of my time.
If anyone could help me, I'd be glad!
Flash Player version: WIN 15,0,0,239
Debug Player: No
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0
Browser Version: 5.0 (Windows)
Browser Name: Netscape
I updated my flash player and my graphic driver and the problem still occurs. I also turned of the hardware acceleration as stated in the following article: Video playback issues but it remains the same.
I registered this as a bug: Bug#3863932 - Video playback issues but I am uncertain whether this will actually be solved sooner there or here on the forums... So I've decided to try both.
Please help!
EDIT: I also have a dxdiag-file avaible, but I am unsure how to share it. You can access it through my bug report that I have linked to earlier.
Message changed through Anna Adam

Yeah, that was always the problem: Hardly anyone CAN reproduce it. I've checked my hardware and drivers though and I've re-installed windows completely just because of this bug, thinking it might be some virus or sth, but nothing like that helped.
And so far, I couldn't find any steps to reproduce, or anyone who also has this problem.
I had my brother, who has a masters degree in computer sciences, try it out and he didn't know any solution or any reason either. :I You can just tell me if this is hopeless, I won't be mad, but really, a video would just show you exactly what I told you.
There's nothing else to it. No mysterious thing I'm doing wrong. I wish it was something like that, honest
Also, it doesn't happen with specific youtube videos. I tried mixing up the order of the videos and it happened again, after starting the 3rd or 4th video (also happens when facebook had this automatically-starting-videos-thing, which was especially fun, as you can imagine, so it's not website-specific either, sadly)..

I cannot get rid of the permissions box when using flash player in firefox

Hi
I have explored on the web about this problem. When attempting to use flash player in firefox, I cannot click on the allow button to allow my video camera and microphone to be used on sites. I CAN go to Global settings and allow the sites by putting their URL, but this makes no difference, the little permissions box keeps appearing and won't go away.
Anyone know what else to try if changing global setting permissions doesn't work?
Barry

This sounds like a bug. The direction that we're heading is to have the browsers present these permission dialogs, and to eliminate them from Flash completely. It is unlikely these native dialogs will support an "always allow" or "remember" option.
If you're not able to click the button in the dialog when it's displayed, that's problematic. We have a couple things in the pipeline to make the dialog bigger. Usually those problems are resolution specific, although if there's moving video behind the dialog, that can trip our security controls. We do a bunch of checks to ensure that the dialog you're clicking isn't obscured by something else, so that we're sure you know that you're clicking and approve button.
There is an improvement in the pipeline to make these dialogs bigger. They were originally designed for 640x480 screens (they've been around *that* long), and they're way too small on modern high-density displays.
Anyway, you're welcome to file a bug at http://bugbase.adobe.com/. Please be sure to include a link to the problem content, and the configuration you're using (OS and browser version, and screen resolution would be particularly useful -- these are often resolution-dependent issues).

Cannot install Flash Player using IE 11, but Firefox works

I have an issue in QuickBooks that required IE to use Flash Player to view data. It stopped working a while ago, I think when I reloaded Firefox. I tried uninstalling Flash Player (and even Firefox) and then tried to download flash player again via IE and it still will not download anything using the Adobe download page. If I use Firefox, it downloads and works, however my QuickBooks application still errors out. How can I download Flash Player for IE11 (Windows 7).

Try the offline installer: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_ax.e xe

When trying to use flash player it says to download the player. i have the latest player

when trying to use flash player it says to download the player. i have the latest player

I can assume that you're using IE11, and probably with Windows 8.1.
This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. 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 an 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.

I have been using flash player to watch foxnews and it has recently started reseting the volume to 0

I have been watching fox news .com using flash player and the web site is set for auto play. As it advances to the next news story the volume keeps being reset to zero at the start of each segment. This is very annoying since I must turn the volume up on the adobe control panel before I can hear the segment. Is this intentional or can it be fixed?

Okay, That's NOT in Flash Player but in the web page. It's read and displayed by Flash Player, but the code for it is embedded in the page as part of the video, the "minimum volume setting" could be a "cached" setting in your browser. Try clearing your cache and history, but there ISN'T any setting in your Flash Player plugin that can change or set volume for websites.

Cannot use Flash player after 10.2, have to keep reverting back to that version or earlier.
