Correctly Installing Flash Player

Hello Everyone,
I have always had trouble getting flash to work on my browsers. I always do what they say on the website, and install it but then it never works. I just installed it, and went to www.newgrounds.com to watch a flash movie and it didn't work, but on other sites flash will work and the videos will play fine. I was wondering if someone could give me the best way to install flash and anything that I might not know and that could be messing me up. I am using Camino as my browser, and I am running the most updated version of Leopard.
Thanks!

Hi Chris: If you are looking for Flash Player it maybe available at this link: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
The Flip4Mac player/plug-in is abvailable here: http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm And the basic player/plug-in is Free.
Enjoy

Correctly installed Flash Player 11.5, prompted for new instalation

Hello everybody,
I have a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and running a IE9, latest Firefox and Google Chrome.
I installed Flash Player 11.5 correctly, checking the version on Adobe.com.
Now, after using Flash Player on Youtube and other websites, I started getting prompted to install Flash Player 11.5.
First I canceled the process, but then the window came up again and I reinstalled the latest Flash Player 11.5.
At the same time, all the websites using this content were still working.
Please tell me what to do, because that Pop-up Window keeps on showing up to tell me to reinstall, while the Flash Player keeps working without any problems.
Thank you

I'd experienced it on both Mac and Win 7, after second or third installation, it stopped popping up. It must have been a bug.

Help with installing Flash Player 10.1 in IE7

Hello All -
I have been having issues installing Flash Player 10.1 in IE7. I have pretty much tried everything to install this into IE7. I was able to install Flash Player 10.1 in Firefox with no issues at all. I have tried to install it through the Adobe Download Manager - it downloads to 100% and then I receive a Error:Installation failed message under Progress. I also tried to install Flash Player through the manual installer - I run that install file and then receive the error that says "The ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered. In the Troubleshoot Flash Player installation page on Adobe - I have tried every single remedy that they list under this error message but to no avail. Any ideas? I am running Windows XP SP3 and IE7. I also tried IE8 earlier in the day with the same result so just downgraded back to IE7.
Thanks
Pat

I tried all solutions but one posted in adobe support. I am local administrator but IE security settings are set by group policies and buttons in tools security setting are grayed out.
After three days with "The ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered" message I tried registering the activeX control manually.
Bingo! that made the trick.
So open a DOS window, type "regsvr32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx" -first check if this directory exists and contains the Flash10d.ocx (no quotes needed) and you should receive a confirmation that it registered correctly.
I must say that I've tried so many ways that I cannot repeat the correct order before this has worked ;-(
Hope it works for you all

My MySpace Band Player won't load after installing Flash Player 10

Not so long ago, MySpace required members to update to Flash Player 10.
I installed Flash Player 10.0.32.18 on my Mac (OS 10.4.11). Adobe.com tells me it's installed correctly, and working fine.
But ever since then, I haven't been able to play music on my band page or on anyone else's. Flash seems to work everywhere else on the web for me. But not on MySpace. There's just an empty space where my player used to be. No music (only the thunderous sound of subscribers stampeding out of MySpace and over to Facebook).
Someone suggested I go to Adobe's Flash Player Settings Manager and select the box for "Allow third party Flash content to store data on your computer." But no matter which browser I use, I cannot get an X into that box. And even if I could, I don't know that this would make my music player visible and functional on MySpace.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance...

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Installing Flash Player in Foxfire 3.6

I have been trying to install Flash Player in Foxfire 3.6. My OS is Windows XP Media Edition. It says Flash Player is installed but it's not. Java Script is enabled. I have uninstalled and reinstalled at least a dozen times. Any other ideas?

I have installed Flash Player 5 times. It keeps disappearing, or won't load when I'm running MSIE8.0

I am running Windows XP, MSIE 8.0. I have installed Flash Player 5 times. It keeps disappearing, or won't even install over Internet Explorer. It stops halfway, and tells me to close Internet Explorer because it can't install with it running. I did that yesterday, and it installed when I started IE again, so I thought the problem was solved. Then, today, I logged on and tried to use Flash Player. It was not installed. I re-installed it, and came to the same block. It will not install while Internet Explorer is running.

Download the correct 32-bit or 64-bit uninstaller and installer and exit I.E.8.

Run the uninstaller.
Reboot.
Run the installer.

Can't install flash player on Mac OSX version 10.4.11

Hello
I've spent the morning trying to do this and still no joy. I had flash player already and when trying to use the 4oD website it asked me to download or upgrade flashplayer. I did, the correct version according to my mac version. All goes well and the window message says 'installed successfully'.The only thing I find strange is that just before this message appears I hear the sound of items being put in the 'trash' ... and there they are. Other times the message error -1409 appears. The only icon that appears is the Flash player installer.pkg so not sure whether the application was installed or just the installer! All web searches prompt me to download the missing plug in, both in safari and mozilla. Java script is definitely enabled on both browsers.
I have use the uninstall package three times, restarted the computer, downloaded flash player again but no change.
Forgive my limited use of jargon - this doesn't make any sense to me but I've just spent 3 hours following instructions to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The old Plug-in files are still around
Download the offline imstaller: Flash Player 12.0.0.44 (Mac OS X)
Then do a "clean install": How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X
That'll get the old junk out and you'll have a new Player plug-in.

I have installed flash player 17.0.0.134 and now cant open any e-mail attachments. Can anyone help?

I have installed flash player version 17.0.0.134 for mac and now I cant open any e-mail attachments. I have been through the checks and it is installed correctly. Can anyone help? panda

I don't know how this works on a Mac; on Windows you need the Flash Player Projector (not the plugin) to view stand-alone SWF files: https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

Installing flash player on old sytem with window xp 32 bit

Having trouble installing flash player. get to about 71% installled and then error out with failed to register. Need help in find the correct soultion to fix the problem. I have tried about every solution that is recommended. Had trouble the last time when tryinh to install verion #12.

Hi Oldman7,
Thanks for posting the new files. Please try the recommendation in the Flash Player | Windows registry permissions tech note, but use the reset_fp15.bat.zip file I posted previously, and take heed of the warning on the page, before proceeding. You'll definitely want to back up your system, create a System Restore Point, and back-up the system registry (although this last item is not mentioned in the tech note).
Essentially the 'failed to register' error is being returned due to 'access denied' permissions errors (for both you and Vinix Wu). The permissions need to be repaired fro Flash Player to register.

Installing Flash Player 11 but AV is noticing a virus.

I have tried to install the new flash player twice now and both times my Webroot AV tells me there if a virus associated when I am in the middle of installing.
c:\users\xxxxxxx\appdata\local\temp\3b5a.tmp
c:\users\xxxxxxx\appdata\local\temp\e33c.tmp
I have had rogue viruses before from installing flash player or java from the correct associated website. Why is this? Is instaling the new flash player really a threat?

Most likely your AV definitions are outdated.
Also, try the full installer(s) from http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550

Hi, Just installed Flash Player 10.1.102.64 for PowerPC G4-Not working/cant find it?

Hi, I've just installed Flash Player 10.1.102.64 for my PowerPC G4. It told me I had installed it yet I cant find it in Applications. I have read other threads and have dragged 10_1r102_64_ub_mac from folder on desk top into Library/plugins. Not sure if I was right to do that? - Im missing something for sure - would love some help please.

Hi Cija, pull it back out & mount the DMG & use the Installer, but first uninstall any previous version...
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/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
Download this if you haven't...
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp10.1.102.6 4_and_9.0.289.0archive.zip
Once downloaded if it doesn't unzip automatically the double click on that file.
Look for the fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive folder, open it, look for the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 folder & open and look for 101r10264 folder & open it, double click on the flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg file, choose the Install Adobe Flash Player file to install... they don't make it easy!
Or I put up the smaller ones here...

How to install Flash Player on two different browsers?

Have a Windows Vista 32-bit PC with two browsers: IE8 and Safari. Flash Player already installed on IE8.
I want Flash Player to run on both browsers and am concerned that installing Flash Player on Safari will mess up the existing Flash Player on IE8.
How to proceed?
Thanks,
Marty

Problem solved!
Created a System Restore Point and boldly charged ahead. Using the Safari browser, I opened up the Flash Player download page and installed the version for Safari.
The Flash Player Plugin for Safari installed correctly with zero negative effect on IE8 Flash Player.
I was being overly cautious ... my concerns were unfounded.

Intel MacBook Pro won't Install Flash Player 10 (!!!!)

I can't get the automatic installer to work when I got to a flash site that uses Flash Player 10 - I've run it several times and it says the update completed, but when I test the version of the Flash Player, it still says 9. I tried running the Adobe Uninstaller and then re-installing Flash Player 10, and again - no joy.
I've got an Intel MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5.8
2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
3 GB RAM
I need help with this - I'm a Flash Designer and can't check my sites from the road! AH!!
Thanks.

Hi, thanks. When you went to the test site, if you were able to see the animation of the Flash logo, that would indicate you have Flash Player Installed correctly and should be working. Without that info I hesitate having you Uninstall and Install again if it is not needed.
If you could just tell me if you saw the animation. If you can, why do you think it is not Installed?
Also to try to save time with the back and forth posts, let's say you could not see the animation. Now that does not necessarily mean that Flash Player is not Installed. It can mean that the SWF(shockwave Flash) plugin didn't get Installed; or it is Installed but not Enabled. This plugin is the Control that works with the Flash Player files. And it must be Installed and it must be Enabled. (Same thing in the PC with the non-IE browsers; in the IE browser it is an ActiveX)
Now, let me know the above so we can perhaps make this as simple as possible:-) For me mostly, since I am Mac challenged:-)
Thanks,
eidnolb
