Even though Adobe says I "successfully installed" Flash Player 11, the is no sign of it in Programs

Please contact me back with any ideas.  System check by Adobe website and others says there is NO Adobe Flash Player on my PC even though the base model came pre-installed from Dell.  I was just doing an Update to Player 11.
Thanks for any help you can.  David

It isn't in your programs because it ISN'T a program... it's a plugin for your browser and THAT'S where you'll find it. If you use WIndows 8, Flash Player IS embedded in Internet Explorer. It updates through Windows Update.

  • How do I prevent Adobe Website attempt to install Flash Player which freezes Windows e-mail browser.

    For past several days, my Windows e-mail browser frequently freezes and must be closed. This occurs whenever message near top of browser states that Adobe website wants to install Adobe Flashplayer. Windows explanation states that termination is a result of Data Execution Prevention (DEP). How do I stop Adobe Website attempts to install Flash Player, or if that is not possible, what is a solution? I have uninstalled Flash Player in an attempt to resolve problem without success.

    You can find a link and instructions for the last version of Flash Player compatible with PowerPC in this FAQ:
    What version of Flash Player should I use with my Power PC based Mac?
    For what it's worth, Apple itself discontinued support for PowerPC with their operating systems back in 2009 with the release of Snow Leopard.  Regardless, I know its frustrating when your system is no longer supported.  Hopefully the instructions I posted in the FAQ allow you to get Flash content running again.

  • I have a new email and am trying to change it in icloud. but it has locked me out and won't send my email a reset password link for some reason. even though it says its sent, it doesnt come to the email address

    i have a new email so have a new apple ID now and am trying to change it in icloud. but it has locked me out and won't send my email a reset password link for some reason. even though it says its sent, it doesnt come to the email address. help!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

  • HT201272 I connected my iphone to iTunes and it erased my ringtones. It also makes me pay for my ringtones over again on the iTunes app, even though it says that I've already previously purchased the item.

    I connected my iphone to iTunes and it erased my ringtones. It also makes me pay for my ringtones over again on the iTunes app, even though it says that I've already previously purchased the item.

    I should mention that I also did a restore hoping that would solve the problem but it did not, and it was after this that I lost some of my music.

  • How to install flash player for the gaming app "raptr"?

    how to install flash player for the gaming app "raptr"?

    Hi,
    If you wants to install flash for any browser just visit http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ from that browser and click on "Install Now" button to install flash player for that browser.
    But since i have found that raptr is a standalone game so raptr support team would be the right contact who can guide you well that which Flash player plugin they are using in their game. And this is what i have found on there support page Raptr wants me to download "Flash for Other Browsers". Where do I get that? : Raptr Support
    You can follow the steps on that link, I hope it will solve your problem.

    I have installed flash player 11 and checked it is installed on my compuer.
    But if I try to play any media it says I need to install flash player.
    I went to your website at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html and got this message.
    I have tried uninstalling flash player and then trying again, restarting computer etc. But the computer will not play any media in IE.
    If you go to the control panel the player is installed. But thigs like iplayer do not recognise it as being installed.

    The message is clear: "Flash Player is either not installed or not enabled".  Did you check if it's enabled:

  • How do I install flash player from the home screen?

    I am operating Mac OSX.  I have flash player version 16.0.0.  I can't play any videos because my flash player is out of date.  I download the latest flash player and when I go to install it, it takes me here www.adobe.com.  There is no "Install flash player" prompt like there used to be.  There is a "Download Creative Cloud" prompt for a fee.  I go to the menu and there is no install flash player prompt.  I go to Adobe Flash Player in the lower right hand corner and it prompts me to download the flash player again but not to install it and then I end up right back to the Adobe home screen again where there is no install flash player prompt.  I search "install flash player" and it takes me to a prompt to download the flash player again which of course brings me back to the home screen where again, there is no install now prompt.  I've been at this for days, extremely frustrated.  How do I install flash player?

    Hi Alicia,
    If the browser is opening when you attempt to mount the DMG image, then somehow, the browser has been set as the default program to open DMG files.  You'll need to change this association for the DiskImageMounter.app file to be the default program to open the DMG file.  Please do the following:
    Select the installer DMG file and CTRL-click on the DMG file.If DiskImageMounter.app is available, select that and skip to step 4 below
    From the menu, select Open With > and then select Other...to open Finder
    In Finder, navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices, look for DiskImageMounter.app and select it
    At the bottom center of the Finder window, put a check in the box next to Always Open With
    Click Open in the bottom right of the Finder window
    This will mount the DMG file revealing the installer app.
    Double-click the installer app (Install Adobe Flash Player.app) to launch the installer dialog window.
    Follow prompts to install Flash Player

  • Administrator unable to install flash player in the administrator account

    I am unable to install the lastest version of flash player in the administrator account for use by IE. The error talks about not having enough priviledges.  The administrator should be able to install the product.

    I'd like to investigate what's occurring.  Would you be willing to run the following steps to generate a debug log for me?  If this looks like too much work, please let me know and if you're willing we can schedule a quick desktop sharing session so I can do this on your system for you.
    1. Download “SetACL (executable version)_2.zip” from: http://bit.ly/WEppuY
    2. Extract the appropriate “SetACL.exe” from either the 64 bit or 32 bit folder and place it alongside the flash_report.bat file attached to this post.
    3. Right click flash_report.bat and select “Run as administrator”
    Once run, please copy/paste the contents of the flashreport.txt file into a reply.
    Thanks,

    Hi, What operating system are you using? What browsers and versions?
    I'm not sure exactly what the message means since I don't know where the message is coming from.

  • Unable to install itunes8 - even though it says "download successful"

    I am trying to download/install ITUNES8. I clicked on the blue download now button. Then a page popped up saying that you have succesfully downloaded iTunes, but it really didn't. Theres no icon on my desktop or anything. The downloading notification didn't pop up either. I thought that maybe iTunes may think that we already have iTunes installed so I checked the program files and did a search and found no record of iTunes on the computer other than on the external hard drive. So I unplugged it from the computer, that way, I was hoping, iTunes would see the computer as a fresh account. But still it didn't download. I even tried downloading QuickTime to try something different but I the exact same thing happened. It immediately said that it downloaded but it really didn't. I also made apple a "safe page" on my compter that accepts pop ups. After researching the Apple Support/Discussion forum I read some guy had a similar issue and installed Firefox and it seemed to work for him. I don't know if thats something we'd want to do though. any help would be awesome!!

    Sync it from your computer to the device.

  • Adobe says I have latest Flash Player installed but it's not listed in program list and a video souce says I need to download it to open their video.

    I can't open some videos--they say I need Flash Player but Adobe says I have successfully installed the latest 64-bit version. It doesn't show in the list of all programs but it is on the "uninstall" list. I have uninstalled the old version
    Flash Player works if I use Explorer or Chrome

    Your More system details list shows that you have the Flash plugin installed.
    *Shockwave Flash 11.1 r102
    If the Adobe test page confirms that Flash is installed and working then you may have an extension that is causing problems.
    *http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
