Facebook not recognising Flash Player

Windows 7.
64 bit.
IE 11
Flash Player 11
I know you've heard this before but I can't bulk load my photos onto a Facebook album. I can do only 5 at a time. It is incredibly, frustratingly and maddeningly time consuming. This is because it won't accept that I have the latest version of Flash Player. I'm asked to download it and told I have it over & over again. Yet still Facebook won't accept it.
I know this has been asked before but there are many people on Facebook as desperate as I am. Is there anything you can suggest?
I saw on here a week or so ago that some people were sorted (by something other than changing compatibility view or swapping over to Chrome, etc.) so I hope you can help.
Thank you.

You saw correctly.
This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has 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.

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.
See:
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Cannot+view+full+screen+Flash+videos
* http://www.youtube.com/swf_test.html (right-click the player: Settings)
Flash "Display settings" window:
* http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html
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.

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?

Adobe Flash Player version 11.1.102.55 works great on all my Intel iMac's.
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player

Firefox will not allow Flash player to work. How do I enable Flash to work in Firefox? Thank you.

Question
Firefox will not allow Flash player to work. Every site that uses Flash player gives me a message saying that I need to update to the latest version of Flash player, but I have done so, and I keep getting the same message. How do I enable Flash to work in Firefox? Thank you.

You can hold down the Shift key and double click the Firefox desktop icon to start Firefox in [[Safe mode]].

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...

No question, just a remark to say how upset I am that Apple still does not have flash player on iPad or iPod touch. Still upset not to be able to view my family's video on my iPad! Upset customer!

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:

Why do iPhones/iPad not support Flash Player/Java and what are my alternatives for browsing sites using these plug-ins?

Why do iPhones/iPad not support Flash Player/Java and what are my alternatives for browsing sites using these plug-ins?

There are also iSwifter, Photon, Skyfire, etc., some only support Flash some support Java and Flash.
Adobe never made a version of Flash for iOS and closed their mobile flash division a couple of years ago. You can get Flash on other personal devices but you will be using a 2 year old version that has not been patched for security vulnerabilities.
When the original iPhone was released Mr. Jobs said it would never run Java as it was old technology and a security risk. Nothing has changed since.

Why does the iPad not support flash player? I would like to watch programming from att uverse but cannot because of this restriction

Why does the iPad not support flash player? I would like to watch programming from att uverse but cannot because of this restriction

Because NOTHING that is iOS supports Flash. Never has never will.
The only possible option is to try the Skyfire browser from the App store. It is an internet browser that converts flash to HTML 5 so that you can attempt to view it on iOS devices.
I have never tried it so I can tell you if it is any good, but it has gotten decent reviews.

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."

Why wont bejewelled on facebook not recognise my up todate flash player

I'm on windows7 Internet Exploer 10 but when I try to play bejewelled on Facebook it will not recognise my up to date flash player can anyone tell me why facebook keeps telling me to up date my flash player I've tried this quite a few times without success can you help me pleaseBrian

What exactly means "will not recognize"; do you get any messages?
What is your Flash Player version? See http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html#main_Find_the_Flash_ Player_version_installed_on_your_machine

I have an iMac G5 isight (20" screen) Leopard OS 10.5.8 I do not have an intel chip. I am unable to open movie links on facebook using Adobe flash player. I called Adobe Systems and they said Adobe no longer supported computers that did not have intel chi

I have an iMac G5 (20 inch screen) i sight (no intel chip).Leopard OS 10.5.8. Recently I went on Facebook and tried to open a movie site someone had sent me on Facebook andwhen I tried to open the video on Facebook, I was told I had to upgrade my Adobe Flash Player. i tried to do this, but turns out that Facebook is requiring folks to have an intel chip in order to view movies...this is outrageous! Just think of all the folks in the world who have great running pre intel chip Apple computers. I called the Adobe Help line and was told that I really needed to buy a new computer....no thanks. How do I find a way to get a new version of Adobe for Facebook and youtube. I wish Apple could develop a way to have intel chips installed in the older computers. If you have any suggestions on this please let me know.
Thanks, Sarah

Either get a screen cleaning cloth, or carefully us a slightly damp lint-free cloth and dry off with a dry link-=free cloth.
As to Flash Videos: I am in a similar same boat. I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer, although all other flash videos (YouTube and FaceBook for example) are fine.
For reasons that passeth all understanding, they work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have anabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
But there is a workaround!
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
I am using Flash 10.1.102.64 in TenFourFox and it works just fine.

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.

Problems to access facebook & google after flash player 12 update

I just installed the latest version of Flash player 12.0.0.77 on my mac, running osx 10.9.2, but since then, whenever I try to visit a facebook page , youtube page or google search page I get stuck on an error message saying
WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of date. Please update to continue
I uninstalled the flash player, reinstalled it, restarted the computer & software several times, but still no joy.
I get the same problem in both Firefox (27.0.1) & Safari (Version 7.0.2) browsers. Very frustrating !
Flashplayer seems to be enabled in both softwares, so I cannot figure out where the problem lies.
Anyone got any clever ideas what i should try next ?

Considering that a clean install solved it, I serioiusly doubt it was a router attack.
