Facebook does not recognize Flash Player

I have tried to install and uninstall Flash Player from Facebook multiple times and it still won't recognize it.  I just did the test on your site to see if the program is installed on my computer and it says it does recognize the program on our computer, and the clouds move in the picture to test it.  However, when I go to add an album of pics on Facebook it keeps telling me to download the program? 
HELP!
Thank you.

Problem is, you have THREE factors involved here.
1. Microsoft, who now embeds their OWN modified Flash Player in IE.
2. Facebook, who has to keep up with three OS's (Windows, Mac and Linux), and more than a dozen different browsers.
3. Adobe, who makes the Flash Player for three OS's and more than a dozen different browsers.
Guess which two Adobe CAN'T control?
As I posted, BOTH Microsoft and Facebook have acknowledged the problem with IE11 and Facebook. That's where the problem lies. This wasn't a major issue before IE11 was released.

  • Reader Extensions does not recognize Flash Player

    Hi All:
    Rather new to Reader Extensions ES 2 and have installed it on a test system.  This use to work but now I am having a problem accessing the user web page.
    Environment
    Windows XP
    IE 6 or 7
    Flash player 9 or 10
    Issue:
    When I access http:// localhost:8080/ReaderExtensions/welcome I recieve a page display stating "This content requires the Adobe Flash Player 9 or above." Get Flash.
    Steps taken to date:
    I originally had Flash 10 but have tried downgrading to Flash 9 with no results.
    Re-installed Reader extensions after changing Flash versions with no results.
    uninstalled Reader Extensions and cleaned out the registry. reinstalled Reader extensions with no result
    Note: the installation had no errors and was doing a Turnkey - express mode install
    Upgraded IE from 6 to 7 with no results.
    Searched the Internet for similar issues
    Searched the Adobe forums with no results.
    Anybody with any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Hi Paul:
    I am using ES2 or Reader Extensions 9.  I have tried both Flash 9 and 10.  From investigation on Web, 10 should be fine with ES2 but I downgraded it to version 9 just in case.
    Regardless, it doesn't work with either Flash 9 or Flash 10. 
    This is only a problem when trying to access the user interface.  I can access Reader Extensions AdminUI.  I can change settings etc so there is no problem with the install or configuration, I just can't load the user interface to actually reader extend a PDF.
    One thing I noticed on my production system using LC Reader Extensions 7, in IE there is the Shockwave Flash Object (version 10) under "Add-ons that have been used by Internet Explorer".  I do not see this on the development system with ES2.
    Thank you,

  • I want to play Farmville on my iMac, but it does not have Flash Player.  I tried to download it, but I was not able.

    I play Farmville on my laptop and yesterday that I unpacked my new iMac, I was not able because it does not have Flash Player.
    I tried to download it, but it would not let me.  Is iMac not compatible with Flash Player?

  • Why does not Adobe flash player for iPad ,This is a very big problem

    Why does not Adobe flash player for iPad ,This is a very big problem ,I do not know why Apple is so Popular

    but Adobe is, in fact, continuing to update Flash for Android.
    Only essential bug and security fixes. No new feature updates have been released for 2 years.
    Of course we have those who wish fervently that the lack of Flash supprt will damage Apple severely and obsess about it all the time.
    I thought they'd realised it was a lost cause ages ago... they mostly seem to have disappeared from this forum, at least...

    This is a user to user forum, and Apple does not follow these discussions. But here is what Apple says about not having Flashplayer on iDevices:

  • Ipad does not use flash player.  What are my options?

    What are my options since ipad does not use flash player?

    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. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
    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.
    A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
      1. Puffin
      2. SkyFire
      3. Photon Flash
      4. Browse2Go
      5. Swifter
    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."

  • Facebook doesn't recognize flash player

    I'm have the most recent flash player and Internet Explorer, running Win 8.1. When I try to upload photos on Facebook I'm shown a prompt that says I don't have flash. I click the link, am taken to adobe where I'm told that I do have flash but am not running IE in Win 8. I've gone through the whole checklist of enabling shockwave (it was never disabled) and turing off active x filters (also already in that condition) and can't seem to get Facebook to accept that I've done everything it says that it needs me to do.
    I've installed firefox to see if that would work, it gave me the same "need flash" prompt so I uninstalled and reinstalled the newest flash player. Now firefox allows me to batch upload photos but IE still thinks I don't have flash and adobe.com still thinks that I'm not running IE.
    Is there anything I can do to make your product work in internet explorer?

    It's NOT that Facebook doesn't rrecognize Flash Player. It doesn't recognize IE11, and if it can't recognize the browser, it won't recognize the plugins in the browser. Microsoft is aware of the problems with their new browser, but... they're in no hurry to fix it.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using a different browser. Trouble with that is... it's seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • Safari does not recognize flash plug-in and will not play flash video

    I use Safari as my go-to browser for web sites that would otherwise require me to turn off my several ad-block/flash-block plugIns for Firefox.  I do have it set to ask for permission ('Trust this site?') for every time I use flash on a new site (since I reset Safari regularly and clear all cookies every time I close it this means every time, every site, it asks).  New problem started sometime in the past week:  Safari is returning a 'download flash' icon on some videos on some web sites--but on others it correctly goes through the 'trust this site to use flash?' routine and when I click 'trust now' it plays the video normally.  Trying to figure out if this is a Safari problem, flash problem, or web site problem.  How can Safari both recognize that flash is being asked for (that's why it shows me the 'download flash now' icon, right?) and not recognize that it has flash installed?
    Safari Version 7.0.4 (9537.76.4)

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
    Step 2
    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
    and confirm. Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
    Step 3
    If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    Step 4
    If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
    If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
    Stop plug-ins to save power
    Step 6
    Open this folder as in Step 4:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
    Flash Player (failing).plugin  
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    Step 7
    Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    Step 8
    If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
    Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
    Then click the button marked
    Manage Website Settings...
    if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
    Step 9
    Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

  • Internet Explorer 9 will not recognize Flash Player

    Since I installed an update from Adobe a few days ago, IE 9 will not recognize that I have the most current version (11.0.1.152) Installed.  I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it.  I go to a site that requires Flash and am told I dont have it and need it, I go download and reinstall, still it is not recognized.  It works fine in Chrome, but then I go to the same site in IE 9 and again am told I don't have it and need to install it.  What steps can I take to fix this?

  • My iPad does not support flash player. What can I do to listen to Finnish radio on the iPad?

    Help! How can I listen to my beloved Finnish radio on this new fangled iPad? To listen to it I require flash player. Any ideas?

    For general internet radio listening I recommend TuneIn Radio, either the free or paid Pro version.
    If by Finnish radio you mean Yle they have an app available, they even direct you to it when you first surf to their website.

    As above, whenever I reopen Facebook, I have to put in my log in information, and then I have to put in "home", as the name of my computer, and I have to do this each time I open up Facebook, after I just got the new Firefox update to 3.6.14.

  • Macintosh: Flash Player does not recognize external webcam

    Hi,
    the Adobe Flashplayer does not recognize an external webcam on my iMac. When I open Settings and try to choose a camera, it offers:
    DV Video
    IIDC FirWire Video
    USB Video Class Video
    The last entry activates the built-in iSight camera, but not the Logitech Camera which is connected via USB. If I choose one of the other options, the picture freezes, but it does not activate the external Logitech cam.
    The Computer recognizes the Logitech Cam alright, it works fine with other apps (Skype, iChat). Does anyone have an idea what can be the problem?
    Webcam: Logitech Vision Pro USB für Mac, nagelneu
    Computer: Intel Mac, OSX Tiger 10.4.?
    Browser: Mozilla Firefox
    Thanks for any help!

    I've been trying to work through similar problems, as have many other Mac users from what it looks like.  Here's a quote from a post I found in Apple's forum:
    My Logictech 9000 doesn't show up in the Flash video source dropdown for me either. Selecting USB camera just selects the iSight.
    However, I did find a workaround: it seems to choose the first available usb webcam, which is typically the built-in iSight. If you have a mac mini with no built-in iSight, it uses the external camera by default. For my MacBook, I found the trick was to make the iSight busy by opening Photo Booth first, then opening the flash chat page.  That causes the flash player to find and use the external USB webcam. 
    Note: your webcam probably has to support the new standard USB Video plug-and-play protocol for this to work, and perhaps only on Leopard.
    Here's the link to the page where I found this post:
