Do I need Shockwave and Adobe both?

shockwave sometimes holds up loading of websites. just need to know if i need both Adobe and shockwave both or can shockwave be deleted?

Note the there is the Flash plugin also known as Shockwave Flash and Shockwave for Director that is hardly used these days, so do not confuse the two.

  • Why when trying to play YouTube videos does it tell me I need JavaScript and adobe flash player but phone doesn't support

    Get error message when trying to play YouTube video's say phone don't support adobe flash player but sometimes it plays them

    This is because the html5 player will load the video by default. I have noticed lately that some channels required flash player. Do you have an example video by chance for further investigation?

  • I cannot see my yahoo mail page correctly, not even when I enter my mail. I already have Shockwave and Adobe plugins.How can I solve this?

    The photographs on the Yahoo Mail can't be seen. If I use Chrome, they work perfect. When I enter my mail account, still happens the same, I can only see text with hyperlinks and thats it.

    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
    You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
    * Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
    * Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    * Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    * Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    * Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
    * If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • Chrome windows 7 do i need both adobe plugin 10 and adobe flash player 11 active x

    using chrome, windows 7 do i need adobe air, adobe plugin 10 and adobe flash player 11 active x? or is that why i am constantly getting a shockwave crashed message?

    If you have any AIR apps, you will need the AIR runtime; latest version is 14.0.0.110.
    "adobe plugin 10" means nothing; what program is it referring to?
    Flash Player 11 is outdated; the current version is 14.0.0.145.

  • I used the plug in check and it said i needed to update adobe shockwave. However, i downloaded the most recent version and the check still says I am out of date. I installed 11.5.9r615 for apple os 10.swno leopard full 64 bit. why is this.

    I uninstalled shockwave and reinstalled it with the same result. what gives?

    I have that same problem on my laptop, it is because Adobe Shockwave does not support 64 bit systems yet...I am not sure how you would do it on your particular operating system, because I am running windows 7..but I have to go into IE 32 and run the update. Check yours and see...hopefully that will work for you or at least this explanation works .

  • I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premier 10 loaded on a Dell PC. Do I need to uninstall from the Dell before I install on a recently purchased Apple Mac Pro? There are separate disks for Mac and PC in the package.

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premier 10 loaded on a Dell PC. Do I need to uninstall from the Dell before I install on a recently purchased Apple Mac Pro? There are separate disks for Mac and PC in the package.

    Generally, it's ok to install on two machines as long as they are both yours and you only use one version at a time.
    BTW, this is the forum for Adobe Contribute.

  • Mac shockwave installation says successful but there's no shockwave folder and adobe site says not installed

    Macbook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, mid-2014)
    OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
    3 GHz i7
    64-bit* (based on table found in archived Apple support article that appears as first link in google search)
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 | Activity monitor says "Used: 9.58 GB (apps: 6, file cache: 2, wired: 1)"
    78 GB remaining of 120 GB flash storage
    One hard disk, no external
    2 admin user accounts and guest account, second admin logged out
    *Sorry for saying stuff you already know. I just don't know what you don't and want to be complete.
    I arrive at adobe shockwave page, which correctly detects Mac computer, chrome browser.  (Did that about 4 or 5 times)
    I click download. (After first failed attempt, I'd start by ejecting install disk thing and put previous dmg file in trash)
    DMG file arrives in download folder.
    I open it.
    I double click on the first of the two files: Shockwave_Installer_Full_64bit (other file is uninstall | Is yosemite operating system actually 32 bit??)
    I close my browsers.
    I click the "Next" buttons and agree to the thing
    I type my administrator password for this administrator account
    I manually choose Macintosh HD for the install location (1 time)
    I go with the default option and verify that all users will have access (2 times)
    I go with the default option for install location (rest of times)
    It tells me what it's doing while progress bar fills and empties and repeats. Says stuff like "Moving files" "Working directory" or something, as it should.
    My mac makes the install noise.
    The install window says ~"Adobe Shockwave Player installed successfully"
    I restart (only on one or two attempt(s))
    I reopen browser, which reopens last pages
    One of those pages is the chrome://plugins that an Adobe troubleshooting page told me to check.
    I refresh it. There's no shockwave player. There is adobe flash player and it says "(2 files)" and version 16...
    I go to the adobe page where I can click "Check now" to see whether my computer has shockwave.
    Page confirms I do not have it by saying: "Sorry, Shockwave Player is either not installed or disabled on your machine."
    Per some Adobe troubleshooting instructions, I prepare to repeat the process by searching for folder to delete it so that I can properly reinstall it (3 times)
    There is no folder when I use finder to search "This Mac" or "All my Files"
    I come to forum. I guess I will now try the really involved stuff about disabling login items and installing via a new user. I came here before trying it because the page said that those are ways to work around problems that may cause the installation to fail. But the installation window said it was successful. Did it go to the cloud?????? Did my computer auto-scrub for some reason unrelated to anything I did deliberately??
    UPDATE: Tried the shift-key-during-restart-and-using-new-user but it didn't seem to make a difference.
    UPDATE: I did, however, during that process, find that when I use that page in Safari to check installation, it says the latest version is installed. So maybe my question just got a lot simpler. Is this a Chrome problem beyond my own system and I just have to wait for Google to sort it out? Is Chrome somehow incompatible with Shockwave? According to a website I've been trying to use (via chrome) to complete class homework, I am missing shockwave and need it.

    Ok, I'm stupid.
    Found another thread about this and typing 'install OS X Lion' in spotlight did the job.

  • Two issues, purchased bamboo fun, disk for adobe has been registered under an old email. cannot access   the disk for adobe will not load onto computer states need shockwave, downloaded but the disk says it is not there

    with the bamboo fun have disk which has been registered under another old email account.  This has compounded by the inability for the adobe photoshop element unable to install onto my pc.  it continues to state, cannot install as your pc does not have the shockwave player.  I have tried to download this and it states it is installed but cannot open the file. 
    my question is cannot i have the adobe elements downloaded from internet with the serial numbers, and two need shockwave player to work,

    Well if you do not want win7 all together, then just delete all the partitions and install your XP. But if your not wanting to mess up this drive to be able to use the win7 later then just buy a cheap HDD to put XP on. --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148452 $10 off and free shipping. but being that you already tried installing XP then you already messed up win7 anyways(if you did not make the restore disks), your better off just deleting and redoing XP.

  • I bought 2 same plan for Lightroom accidentally and need to terminate and cancel both of them,please help me

    I bought 2 same plan for Lightroom accidentally and need to terminate and cancel both of them,please help me

    Unfortunately, you will have to contact Adobe directly to do this sort of thing, with the best bet being by phone. They may, or may not, be willing to refund you your purchase cost.

  • Besides iTunes and Adobe, what needs to be de-authorized

    I'm getting set to buy a new Macbook Pro. Before making the move, I know that I need to de-authorize my old laptop for both iTunes and Adobe products. Are there other common programs that require this? Filemaker? Microsoft?

    You don't need to 'de-authorize" Filemaker or Microsoft, but you should remove them from the computer.
    Cheers

  • Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split i have a new laptop and now it keeps asking for the old ID or it'll erase my apps bought on theold account.

    Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split up and now im trying to get all my apps and info onto my new laptop with a new account but it keeps asking me for the old apple ID which she is still using and she changed the password. i tried backing it up but still nohing. When i try to back up purchased items being apps etc its keeps asking for the old one. help

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. But you'll still need the password.
    Once you have the computer authorized to use the account she could change the password again to stop you buying apps on her card (assuming it's not on yours!). It would lock you out of upgrading them too but they should work unless she uses the deathorize all feature.
    It depends on how amicable the split is...

    I have Windows XP and Adobe 9 Reader and need to send a series of large documents to clients as a matter of urgency When I convert 10 pages a MS-Word file to Pdf this results in file of 6.7 MB which can't be emailed.  Do I combine them and then copy to JPEG 2000 or do I have to save each page separately which is very time consuming Please advise me how to reduce the size and send 10 pages plus quickly by Adobe without the huge hassles I am enduring

    What kind of software do you use for the conversion to pdf? Adobe Reader can't create pdf files.

  • I have adobe creative cloud and adobe revel premium accounts/works....to completely sign in to my revel account, i need to find the SERIAL NUMBER for the account....where and how can i learn this number--my mobile device is an HTC One (M8). Android by AT&

    Revel does not require a serial number only your Adobe ID and password. If you are having problems locating a serial number for your Creative Cloud subscription you will need to contact Adobe Customer Support.
