Downloading Flash - error message

While downloading a newer version of flash, I get a message to shut down Internet Explorer. I shut down the sessions that were open, but cannot clear this message. How do I resolve this?

Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking the following link and selecting "Save target as".
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Save it to your downloads folder and close Internet Explorer. Reboot your system, so NOTHING is running but Windows. THEN run the installer.
Then check the following:
Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer
ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer

TS1702 In plain english how do you download past error message 0x800B0101

In plain english how do you download past error message 0x8ooB0101?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

NEC 3540A Flashing Error Message

Forum Members and Adobe Staff,
I know this isn't an Encore issue. My luck is poor today. I tried to upgrade the firmware in my NEC 3540A drive to firmware 1.04 and received a flashing error message in the beginning of the process. I waited and finally cancelled the update after the process stopped. My drive is the master drive and I disabled the secondary hard drive as suggested. No other programs were open. After the flashing error message I rebooted my computer and tried the burner. The burner still lists the older firmware version 1.03 yet. I just burned a DVD image using ImgBurn and it burned the DVD okay. How do I know if it's burning DVD's correctly now after I received the flashing error? I have updated firmware in drives many times and I have never had a problem until now. I followed the NEC instruction but something went wrong. Any suggestion on how I can tell if the burner is working correctly? Do I need a new burner as a result of the error?
With Appreciation,
Don

Ruud,
Thanks for the suggestions. I checked out the burner and it's an NEC. I purchased it from Newegg.com. I read the notice. I just tried updating the firmware with version 1.04 again with the same error message. Then I tried the burner and it still shows the last version 1.03 but it still works and burns fine. I've updated this burner before so I'm stumped. I'm wondering if I should move the burner to my main computer and update it there. It has a newer P-4 processor, etc. I can always move it back again. This has me real puzzled. Any more ideas?
With Appreciation,
Don

Vista-switched from Explorer to FF 3.6- can't download versions/updates like Adobe Flash-error message: INSTALLER WILL CONTINUE AFTER CONFLICTING MOZILLA FF IS CLOSED-Most pics blocked on sites/programs-can't open some programs that Explorer opens- Help?

I have Vista, recently switched from Internet Explorer to FireFox 3.6-. Since switching over, it can't download alot of versions/updates like Adobe Flash: It error messages: "INSTALLER WILL CONTINUE AFTER CONFLICTING MOZILLA FIREFFOX IS CLOSED".
Most pics blocked on sites/programs. I can't open some programs that Explorer opens. I would sure appreciate any help!!!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases. Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

Flash error message

Since downloading the latest version of the Flash player, I
continue to get an error message that pops up on my desktop. The
window reads "Error (in the header) Could not find the Macromedia
Flash." When I push OK it goes away for about 5 minutes, but then
it comes back and it also comes up every time I turn on my
computer. It appears that some program or what not is looking for
the Flash player, but the Flash player program is not where it
should be or the program is looking in the wrong place. How do I
find out what program is looking for the Flash player and tell it
to either look somewhere else or just stop looking? Or do I need to
do something else? I'd appreciate any help.

Hi Mitch
From simple experience and experimentation I've determined
that this message means the following:
This error manifests under the following conditions:
You used the MenuBuilder application to create output that
exists as a .EXE file and the output contains a link to a .SWF that
cannot be found.
When this happens, a very generic error of $ is not a valid
integer value will display inside a dialog titled "FlashPlayer".
I suppose this could also happen if you were linking from a
Captivate created .EXE file. Not sure. Perhaps you will be able to
confirm or deny that.
Cheers... Rick

Flash error message appears since Windows 8 install

Ever since I installed Windows 8, Flash does not work properly in Firefox. If I visit a page which has Flash elements, I repeatedly get the error message:
"The instruction at 0x718e0000 referenced memory at 0x718e0000. The memory could not be written. Click OK to terminate the program."
This message keeps reappearing countless times when I press OK. I have tried updating Flash, uninstalling and reinstalling, reinitialising the plugin database etc.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

Downloading podcast error message

I am unable to download any free podcasts. I subscribe successfully, but when I click "Get" a grey exclamation point appears immediately. The error message is "There was a problem downloading "the podcast" . The required folder cannot be found. Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is active and try again."
I get this message everytime I attempt to download something on ITunes. I have disabled the firewall and pop up blockers. Nothing changes -- same error message. I use Mozilla Firefox as a browser.
Any suggestions?

HT201272 Keep getting error #499 when trying to download a song from an album I purchased that failed to download. Error message appears when trying to download from iTunes and the cloud. Re-starting the computer did not help.

I downloaded an album I purhcased a few days ago but one of the album's songs did not download. I received an error message, #499, for which I can get no explanation or interpretation of what error #499 even is (other than generic terms). All my efforts to re-start the download have failed. I've tried several times to download the file to no avail, tried the cloud service to no avail, and re-started the computer to no avail.
My main intention is to, of course, get the download completed. My secondary intention is to, hopefully, bring to the attention of Apple - iTunes staff, the grossly inadequate, dare I say cryptic, error message descriptions iTunes displays.
I can provide the purchase receipt number if it is required.

Hey SDGardella,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are receiving error 499 when attempting to download purchases from the iTunes Store. The following resource outlines this error message:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
"Error 499"
This alert occurs due to security software. Follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Thanks,
Matt M.

HT201413 I do not have an apple product, but I do have Itunes on my computer, and it will not let me play my downloaded music-error message computer needs registered, and it is. Can you help me?

I have had iTunes on my computer, which is not an apple poducts for about 6 or 7yrs now, just recently it will not let me play the music I have downloaded. I get a error message stating this computer is not registered. So I put in the information to register it, and it tells me that this computer is already registered. But I still can't play my music, the error message just keeps popping up. Can anyone help me?

Check the information on the song, Right-Click -> Get Info.
In the fist pane, (Summary), you will see the AppleId (Account Name) that was used to buy the song.
Be sure to login to use this account to register this computer to play the song
What I often see, Is that people have many different AppleID, sometime not even knowing it, which is a big problem.
