Cant see/use adobe flash player

I am new Apple user, so pardon the dumb questions..
1. I would like to view .swf files so donwloaded the latest adobe flash player from the Adobe website for my Mac OS X 10.7.5.
2. Executed the downloaded install_flash_player_osx.dmg file
3. Executed the Adobe Flash Player Install Manager.app which completed with installation successful.
4. I can view the Flash Player.plugin in the /Library/Internet-Plugins directory with the installation date/time
Questions:
1. How do I create a default association for the .swf files
2. Fow do I run the .swf files using this Flash Player?

You're welcome.
That's one of those things that are really easy once you figure it out, or find the answer, but is as clear as mud until then.

How can I see Web sites using Adobe Flash Player with my IPad?

I've realised that it's not possible to visit web sites using Adobe Flash Player.
Is There a program by which Apple allows you to solve this problem?

Not from Apple, no, and probably never will be. You can try one of the third-party 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. You may find other suggestions for apps in the many other threads on Flash in this forum.

I have installed executable installer but I still can not use adobe flash player 10.1

I have installed executable installer but I still can not use adobe flash player 10.1 and i cant not find it on my
documents. I do not know what to do? My computer is XP and Internet Explorer.
Why won't it let me download it or use it?

Can you see the Flash animation at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ ? If yes, Flash Player is correctly installed and working.
If not, what files do you have in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash ?

How to successfully install and use Adobe Flash Player on an iMac?

I have the latest OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. It makes actually several years that I have not been able to view videos that use Adobe Flash Player. This is true of several sports websites I like such as ATPtour.com and ESPN.com. A few days ago I have upgraded my OS to the most current one. And, I retried downloading Adobe Flash Player and it made no difference. I tried to see the videos using numerous different browzers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox) with no success.
I know Steve jobs hated Adobe Flash Player because it was so inefficient. But, I thought one could still use it with Mac computers. Are you guys having as much difficulty as I am? If not what are the solutions to running Adobe Flash Player? Thank you in advance for your information.

The version of "Adobe Flash Player" on your system does not include the latest security updates and has been blocked. To continue using "Adobe Flash Player", download an updated version from Adobe's website.

You haven't actually asked a question, but as stated you should only download Flash Player directy from Adobe.
Nor have you said what version of OS X and Safari you are running.
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

Computer Freezing using adobe flash player

Hello, I have been using adobe flash player for a very long time and this issue has only appered recently.
My computer would freeze for 1-3 mins when I watch youtube or watch streams( pretty much anything that uses adobe flash player)
at first I thought it was my laptop but found that no one else had this issue and then I realized it might be the flash player ( smart right? )
I am not sure what I must do to solve this issue please Help. I have the NV53 gateway laptop Windows 7 and I use firefox and google chrome, both had the same issue when watching videos.
Please help, I never had this issue before and it was only with the recent update of adobe flash player. The freezes are random but when it occurs the screen freezes and the audio is still playing but super slow and it is very loud Please Help thank you!

Can you verify that you are using the latest version of Flash Player? You can get the latest version here: get.adobe.com/flashplayer
If you continue to have problems, please see this FAQ for some suggested solutions and details on what additional information we'll need to investigate further.

Sick of not being able to use adobe flash player. Anyone else?

Purchased iPad to watch sporting events on Internet while traveling. Much to my disappointment, iPad does not support Adobe Flash. What gives? Ready to trade for Zoom and will recommend others to purchase same if not resolved SOON.

Not at all.
Ready to trade for Zoom
What is "Zoom"? Perhaps you mean Xoom?
and will recommend others to purchase same if not resolved SOON.
Then you should contact Adobe and see what they are doing to resolve it since Flash is their product and they gave up because they could not complete a version for iOS.

I need to use Adobe Flash PLayer for an online conference. I get a pop-up blocked message.

I need to use Adobe Flash PLayer for an online conference. I get a pop-up blocked message. I have already unblocked pop-ups as far as I can see.
Maybe I'm missing something?

After installing Flash, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.

Should I use adobe flash player ?

Hi,
I am an OSX user version 10.9.4
I have for some time been using Adobe Flash Player and since then I have problems watching anything that moves. I get a message box from Adobe asking me if Adobe can use more space on my disk. What does this mean?
Is there a better program other than Adobe Flash Player? Or do I even need a Flash Player? Is there a Flash player in Mavericks?
Lovely Day to You

In my experience, the biggest risk with Flash is that unscrupulous third-party web sites may say you need to update Flash and actually load you up with malware. Please see these older articles:
http://www.thesafemac.com/tag/fake-flash-player/
Flash is safely managed by ignoring popups telling you to download a new version. If you see one, go to System Preferences > Flash Player and select the "Advanced" tab to see what version you have:
Then go to Adobe's Flash Player download site:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
and compare the Flash version shown there with what your System Preferences show. If you are below what is shown, it is safe to update from that page AND THAT PAGE ONLY!
Note I set my Flash preferences to "Never check for updates. That way, any popup saying you need to update is known to be a scam that could damage your computer. I manually check for new update about twice a month. You can easily set a Reminder if you feel you won't remember to check.

How can I use adobe flash player on iPad 2?

You cannot. Adobe does not make it for ipad.
This has been discussed over and over and over and over and over and over again on these forums. Please do a forums search - right side of this page.
There is no need to add yet another thread on this very tired subject.
Adobe has announces d that they are selling a platforms that will allow ipad users to view flash content. This is nothing that users will have. The developer of the video will have to do this.

I use Adobe Flash player version 11.7.700.225 why do my YouTube and other videos keep stopping

I use Adobe Flash player version 11.7.700.225 which is the latest version. can anybody tell me why my YouTube and videos stop and I cannot view them I have a macbook pro with retina display late 2012 and I am running OSX 10.8.4. Do I need some other flash to view or what thanks for your time.

noelenefromashford,
I'm in the same boat. Safari 6.0.5, stalls, and stops playing video (youtube, vimeo, etc). I tried the same videos with Firefox and they play fine!
Running 10.8.4 on Mac tower.
I just switched from an older Macbook Pro 15" with the same OS version and browsers , and never had that issue. What gives?

Why can't u use adobe flash player with iPad II ?

I use adobe flash player a good bit on my pc but I cannot download it from my ipadII why?

it's an Internet Browser add-on and apple doesn't allow any add-ons for the Safari Application due to security issues, certain add-ons could give potential spyware, virus, or other things to get your personal information.
Apple computers allow add-ons because typically people aren't using their computer to make emergency phone calls and things like that like they do from the mobile devices, so the computers can afford to get errors and crash while it would be a huge liability for Apple to allow the phone's potential harm.
