Error message application currently in use

I can't install the latest flash player version - keep getting an error message saying the application is currently in use
I have Windows Vista x32
Internet explorer 8

Download the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#Ins tall_in_a_firewall_proxy_server_environment
then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.
Note that you must also close any messenger applications, and other apps that use Flash (e.g. Skype) before running the installer.

  • Attempting to install Flash plugin 11.4 but getting error: application currently in use

    I try to get a support in the Adobe forum. While I am waiting for any responses, I might as well look for the same here. Maybe someone have an idea.
    Last night, my Firefox 16.0.2 prompted sites like Youtube to upgrade my Flash Player. First attempt at installation was successful (if I remember it), but somehow Firefox slowed down at confirmation. So, I try to uninstall and reinstall Flash Player. Yes, I did complete uninstallation. Any subsequent attempts led to error: application currently in use.
    Earlier today, I resetted my Firefox browser. First attempt at another installation was successful, but the browser seemed to hang or slow down for a while until the Flash confirmation page showed up. I thought for sometime, everything went fine. It did not when I was having trouble watching flash player content from a site. I figured I better uninstall and reinstall it again. Here I go again with the error message like the above.
    Any idea what I should do next or how should fix this? Any input is appreciated. I'm using Windows 7

    Please restart you computer after the uninstall then try installing again.
    Thanks!

  • Attempting to Upgrade to Flash Player 11.4 - Error: application currently in use

    I noticed that at least other have experienced this, but in a different browser.
    Since last night, sites like Youtube has prompted to install the latest version of Flash Player. So, I went ahead installing the new version by following the instructions. Somehow, I kept getting this message - Error: application currently in use. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but kept getting that error message.
    The browser with the problem is Firefox 16.0.2. I'm using Windows 7. The problem does not appear in Chrome and Chrome has not prompted me to upgrade to the latest version of Flash player.
    I appreciate any input.
    Thanks,
    G.
    Please don't refer back to that Flash Player Issues Link, because I have visited it many times. The guide there has not specifically address this issue much.

    Could you please download the installer from the following link: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header
    Then close all browsers and double-click the downloaded file.
    Thanks,

  • Error message when attempting to use scanner Canon model MP610

    Error message when attempting to use scanner Canon model MP610, any one have any fixes, suggestions?

    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, empty trash, reboot when complete.
    For the other problems...
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?

  • I have Mac OSX 10.5.8 and get java "error" message when trying to use research tool on Morningstar Java referred me to Apple but they had no update.Any ideas? thanks.e

    I have a imac OSX 10.5.8 and get a java "error" message when trying to use a research tool on Morningstar.Java referred me to Apple but they had no updates. Any ideas? thanks.

    Well I solved my problem.
    What still doesn't make sense though is that dragging iTune audio files directly on to the iTunes application icon gave me the error message... which is why I originally discounted it as being a potential link problem. If I had been able to get files to open normally (i.e. without an error message) I would have known it was a simple link problem. Strange.
    Anyway... relinking my folder of audio files did the trick.
    If you don't already know how here are the steps...
    iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > click on the "Change" button and browse to the folder that contains all of your iTunes audio files... that's it.

  • Safari won't start after showing an error message: Safari can't use the extension "Omnibar" because the extension is no longer valid.

    Since yesterday evening (19-01-2015) safari won't start. After clicking the safari application it shows an error message: Safari can't use the extension "Omnibar" because the extension is no longer valid.
    This message almost directly disappears whereupon the Problem Report opens. I've tried to find a solution on the web but without succes.
    I'm running OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1 and Safari version 8.0.2 on a:
    MacBook Pro (Retina 13-inch, Mid 2014)
    Processor 3 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics Intel Iris 1536 MB
    Since I updated to Yosemite I've been having multiple problems. I already read a clean install will solve most of them. But till then I would love safari to work again.
    Thanks!

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    If Safari crashes on launch and you don't have another web browser, you should be able to launch Safari by starting up in safe mode.
    You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
    If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
    After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • The Error Message 'Application descriptor file cannot be parsed' shows when compiling (Ctrl + Enter) Adobe AIR for Android applications on Flash Professional CS5.5

    The Error Message 'Application descriptor file cannot be parsed' shows when compiling (Ctrl + Enter) Adobe AIR for Android applications on Flash Professional CS5.5
    This is happening for most of the pupils and staff at our school and they are unable to complete their work.
    This also happens on a fresh copy of windows and CS5.5 without any updates and also with all latest updates.
    I have tried it on 32-bit and 64-bit CS5, Windows, Air and Java with the same error every time.
    There are a small minority of users where this works fine for them with no issue.
    I have tried re-setting user profiles.
    I have tried a local admin and domain admin account with the same issue
    I have noticed however that if the file is moved to the shared area it will compile. If it is on their documents area it will not compile. The users have full control in both locations. This is fine for staff but we are unable to give full control or modify access to the shared area for the pupil's
    I have been through the online support section and it directed me to phone Adobe Customer care who informed me that all support has been discontinued for CS5, CS5.5 and CS6 and they will only support creative cloud.
    Any ideas what to try next? There is no other information about this error and I cannot work out what is causing it.

    I have tried and  able to package an apk using your XML file.Could you please make sure your XML file starting from line 1 and coloumn 0.Any space will results in the error (Application Descriptor file cannot be parsed)

  • Why do I get an error message saying unable to use disk when creating a DVD

    I have successfully burned two DVD's of a group of three I am burning of my last vacation pictures. I have successfully created WMV files for each day of the trip which I have combined to create the three DVD's so they won't be too lengthy. I created a menu with main menu and stop menu markers. When I went to burn the third disk, which is the shortest of the group the program would encode to the 96% and then the disk would eject and it would give an errow message saying the disk was not compatable. This was the same type of DVD-RW disks I used on the two successful disks. I tried redoing the burn 3  times with each time getting to 96% on the encription and then the same error message occurred. I used fresh disks each time. On the forth try I cut the number of WMV files down to 3 to make the DVD half as long. The same thing happened at the 96th% spot of the encription process. Nothing had ever been put on the disks. I am using top quality Memorex DVD-RW disks. Please let me know what else I can do. I am very frustrated. Oh yes, I closed the program down each time I got the error and also shut down and restarted the computer afer each error. I really want to finish this project as I have been working on it now for two weeks non stop. Thank you.

    Good, that gets one possibility out of the way.
    Since the error about the disc indicates that the Transcoding has already finished, I think that we can probably rule out the next step, but let's look anyway.
    Now, for Transcoding to DVD, PrE uses 2-pass Encoding, so it would seem that this problem is comng right at the end of the second pass, at the end of the Timeline. Look very closely at that point, and see if there is anything odd there. Things like gaps in the Video of a Timeline, or sometimes Assets that are not proper, can cause Transcoding to stop. Anything there? [I think that with a disc error, Transcoding HAS completed, and the progress bar is just lagging slightly behind, but more questions are probably needed.]
    Last, what brand of blank media are you using? The reason that I ask this is that some companies, like Memorex, buy the cheapest disc that day, and rebrand them, so in a spindle of 25, you might end up with blank discs by different mfgrs., and some can be much better, than others.
    Good luck,

    Hi Smash126,
    Based on the error message” Could not allocate a new page for database REPORTING' because of insufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY'. Create the necessary space by dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting
    autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup”, we can know that the issue is caused by the there is no sufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY' for the ‘REPORTING’ database.
    To fix this issue, we can add additional files to the filegroup by add a new file to the PRIMARY filegroup on Files page, or setting Autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup to increase the necessary space.
    The following document about Add Data or Log Files to a Database is for your reference:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189253.aspx
    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

  • When starting iTunes I continually get an error message " The registry Settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."

    When starting iTunes I continually get an error message " The registry Settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."  I have unistalled and reinstalled iTunes several times and have cleaned up the registry using a 3rd party Windows utility.  Any tips on removing this error message for good?

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

    You are getting an error message because there is an error.
    Knowing wht version of Pages you are using, what template you are attempting to open, and what error message Pages is sending you might help determine why you are getting that specific rror message. Without those, the first sentence above i pretty much all that can be said with any assurance.
