Does ipad 3 support adobe flash and other various video formats?

does ipad 3 support adobe flash and other various video formats? Thanks/////!

Flash is not a video format. Flash is a platform that consists of a scripting language, and plug-in or application that presents a canvas and resources to run the scripts. It is possible for Flash to load video and play them in the canvas, but the video itself is a separate resource. Flash became a popular mechanism for video plaback mostly because the plugin was available for multiple browsers and the video codecs that Flash could load were consistent across multiple platforms, which made coding easier. It also made it simpler to add advertising overlays (especially before CSS3), and it was also a popular mechanism to distribute viruses.
In November of 2011, Adobe stopped development of and licensing of the use of Flash on mobile platforms, citing that HTML5 makes the primary uses for Flash obsolete. There is no version of Flash for iOS, or new or future versions of Android.
Adobe further indicated that they will be phasing out Flash plug-in support as well (such as the plugins used in Desktop web browsers), instead aiming to make Flash applications stand-along applications running on the desktop. No time table for that has been set, though they've just recently phased out Linux development. However, Flash is being actively developer for native applications and Adobe makes Flash Builder and AIR that allow you to make native applications for iOS and Android using the Flash development tools.
With regard to video formats... iOS natively supports MPEG-4 and various profiles thereof, and it supports the use of the HTML5 <video> tag to embed video in pages and in applications that leverage the WebKit environment to implement their UI. There are also apps that display other video formats.

  • Does iPad support Adobe flash?

    Is there an app for adobe flash for the Ipad? Does it even support Adobe flash?

    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."

  • As apple does not support Adobe flash how do I watch youtube other  videos and play games?

    As apple does not support Adobe flash how do I watch youtube other  videos and play games?

    There is a YouTube built-in app for watching those videos. If you can't find the app (it can't be deleted), then check that it's not hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > YouTube.
    For videos on other sites then you might find that some of them (probably more so if they are news sites) have their own apps in the App Store which might let you get some of the content that you want (and there is the built-in YouTube app). Also there are browsers such as Skyfire which 'work' on some sites - but judging by the reviews not all sites. If you want to play flash games then you are probably out of luck if you want to play on-line though the iSwifter app might work on some of them, but again some flash games have app versions in the store.

  • We keep getting a message saying that the iPad does not support adobe flash sites i.e. news videos etc what can we do

    Keep getting videos blocked and a window saying adobe flash not available for this site. Is there a fix?

    There are some browsers in the app store that do support flash. But you would be well served to read the reveiews and see if they'll work for you. They seem to have mixed results and compatibilities.
    Adobe and Apple are at an impasse when it comes to flash. Adobe could never make aversion that Apple accepted, Apple wouldn't accept anything that Adobe made and now Adobe has announced that they're abandoning ALL mobile flash work....so those websites that depend solely upon flash will be needing to find a better way to accomodate the smart phone/mobile device phenomenon, because they're depending on what is not defunkt technology.

  • Safari browser does not detect Adobe Flash and/or JavaScript.

    Hello,
    I have Safari and Firefox loaded on my Mac. My Firefox browser detects Adobe Flash Player and Javascript is enabled, but my Safari browser doesn't seem to detect it although it is definitely loaded and installed on the computer. I can watch/see videos on youtube and see flash-enabled content on websites using firefox browser, but my safari browser cannot. Is there anything else I can do to fix this? I went and checked that I have javascript enabled in my preferences for the Safari Browser.
    I have reinstalled the latest version of flash player on my computer several times. But, when I go to a website like youtube, all it tells me is that either my Javascript is disabled or I have an old version of Flash player. I've repeatedly installed the newest version. I need help with this. Thanks.

    No it doesn't work now. I uninstalled Flash, reinstalled, unclicked the javascript buttons in safari preferences, restarted, everything, and still I can't play vids in sites like youtube.com.

  • Downloaded Adobe Flash and now our videos are skipping

    We downloaded adobe flash onto the computer after it told us to in order to gain access to a tv show on Fox.  We installed and now all of our videos on Youtube Hulu and anywhere else are skipping really bad and will not play.  Any ideas to fix it or get the adobe flash off the computer?

    You're going to have to head over to the Adobe Flash help, since this forum is for the MacBook Pro hardware. 

  • I can not watch the videos because ipad 2 does not support adobe flash player .Is there a way to solve this problem  ...

    The problem with flash player is definitely negative for a device such as Ipad 2 ...

    Flash is not, and quite possibly never will be, suppported (and which is well known about iOS devices) : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
    Apps such as Skyfire claim to support flash, but their reviews are mixed. Some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so you could try checking there.

  • Is it true that Firefox v11 will fully suport Adobe Flash and when are you going to make a mobil version of Thunderbird.

    I going purchase an HTC Merge soon and would like to know if Firefox v11 will fully support Adobe Flash and if I decide to use v10 right now would this method work https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-mobile-doesnt-support-flash?e=es&as=aaq if I wanted to watch flash videos on lets say on Vimeo's website also are there any plans for a Mobil version of Thunderbird? I'm a avid user of Thundrbird and would love to have on my Android phone.

    Thanks that's what I thought I heard but wanted to make certain that it was true and its also nice to know that FFv10 works on Vimeo one last thing I did make a post about Mobil Thunderbird on the official TB support forums if you or anyone you know also would like to see TB for Mobile Devices go to my post.

    By the way I also heard that FFv11 or v12 will have its own speed dial if so will it be like Josep del Rio's speed dial extension by that I mean were its fully customizable for example you could add new groups or decide how many rows/columns you want to have.
