Flash 10.... is installed, but not being detected by websites

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest edition of Flash. I have even updated my Java program. I'm running IE8 and Windows 7.
After Flash installation, I can see the animation on the Adobe website proving that it was installed. However, when I go to certain websites (e.g. PBSkids.org, shutterfly.com), it says that I need to install Flash!
I also have the latest Shockwave installed and Reader; both are working fine.
I have rebooted my computer. I've checked my IE settings.
HELP!
(Coincidentally, Flash works on my new laptop, also running IE8 and Windows 7).
Thanks!

Flash 10 installed but not being detected by numerous sites

Hi!
I have installed and re-installed Flash 10 numerous times
over the past day trying to get it to work. I have followed the
"Trouble Installing Flash for Windows" solutions including Subinacl
and everything else that is suggested there. I have also deleted
the Configuration Flag Registry Key that was mentioned in another
Adobe bulletin. I tried uninstalling flash using the utility from
safe mode to ensure nothing else was using flash, I also
uninstalled it from the cmd prompt. I downloaded all the installers
to my desktop so everything is running from there. When I go to the
Adobe site that verifies the version, it recognizes the correct
version that I have installed. I've lowered my security levels to
precarious levels and I'm all out of options. I am running IE7,
Windows Vista business, and Flash 10. I went to some of the Adobe
sites of the day to try and see if it was working and here were the
results:
www.cbc.ca/thetudors - Shows black screen where Flash should
play and shows the yellow triangle done with errors icon with the
following error - "unexpected call to method or property access"
www.gettheglass.com - Successfully played the game and no
issues were experienced
www.forces.ca - Error message saying I don't have the correct
flash installed
www.thestar.com/sports - Flash video player worked with no
issues
www.youtube.com - videos work with no issue
I'm at a loss as to why this isn't working and I need the
Flash player for an online course I started on Saturday. When I log
on to that site it tells me that I don't have the current version
of Flash installed either.
Any help would be great!!!
Jay

Mknmuzic:
I spoke with the Tech support for my school and they said it
was a known issue for them that has crept up in the last few weeks.
Their solution was to uninstall Flash using the uninstaller from
the Adobe website, download and install Firefox, when Firefox asks
to keep your existing settings choose NO, then go to the Adobe
website and install Flash using the Firefox browser. I was rolling
my eyes the whole time they told me this because I wasted so much
time yesterday, but I'm happy to say this worked perfectly. All the
sites I listed that were not working are currently working with
Firefox.
Hopefully there is a fix for the IE issue soon.....

Flash Player 11 installed but not detected in IE 8 or IE 9

Windows 7 Professional 32 bit OS.
Com registration is correct as we can load shockwave into an exe.
Flash Player 11 is installed and can be detected via Firefox but not via IE 8 or IE9.
Performed all the trouble shooting steps including Active X filtering and Enabling.
Used IE Development tools including profiling and compatibility without any success.
Uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times using the Adobe uninstaller at
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html#main_Download_t he_Adobe_Flash_Player_uninstaller.
Registry appears correct.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
No errors are appearing.

I've been trying to reproduce this for the last few weeks but so far have been unable to. If I understand you correctly, when you go to this page:
http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/testsuite_2_2/test_dynamic_multiple.html
You're seeing the alternate content (most likely prompts to update/install flash) for all 4 blocks? Do you have any idea what I could be missing and why I can't reproduce this?
Thanks,
Chris

Flash Player 10 installed but not woking

I have spent hours and hours trying to solve this issue on my own from all the adobe forums and forums on other websites about this issue. Still can't get FP to work and I need it working ASAP for my on-line college classes. Getting very desperate and would be incredibly grateful for a solution if anyone can help.
Note: Just before writing this I uninstalled FP active X via control panel and rebooted. The files are still in macromed as listed here, but I have uninstalled FP for a(NOTHER) fresh start.
Here's are the notes I have so far after seeing/trying help on other posts...
Flash player was working now every time I need to use FP it tells me to install but it is already installed.
Program does not show under Start, All Programs but it does show in the Control Panel uninstall list.
I don’t remember exactly when FP stopped working, but I’m not sure I’ve been doing much recently that would have required it, so may be longer than I think. Probably relatively recently though.
I have searched and searched for answers in the forums so I’ve tried several things people suggested, still not working.
Wondering if the problem is this….the ActiveX control is not showing in Manage Add-ons even though I clicked to install it when installing FP.
SYSTEM INFO:
Vista 32 bit
IE 8
Foxfire 3.6.8
Shockwave Player ver. 11.5
Norton 360 ver. 4.2.0
Google toolbar ver. 4.0 w/pop-up blocker enabled
I am the Administrator and only user on my laptop
What I’ve tried so far:
Adobe website shows FP video that it was successfully installed right after, but I just tested again and the Adobe site says to view content I JavaScript enabled and need FP installed. FP is installed however, and still not working.
Tested Shockwave Player through Adobe site and it says it’s installed and working
Checked to ensure Shockwave Flash Object & Java were enabled in IE tools, managae add-ons
Checked that no older versions of Java were installed
IE Security Level to medium
Uninstalled Adobe Flash Player, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted (a few times)
Uninstalled, rebooted, installed through cnet’s downloads
Checked for updates for IE, Foxfire, Flash Player, Adobe Reader, & Java
Files listed under acromed folder:
            Flash10i.ocx
            FlashInstall (text doc)
            FlashUtil10i_ActiveX.dll
            FlashUtil10i_ActiveX
            Install (text doc)
Ok, think that's all I have at the moment. Please oh please, someone help me before I throw myself out the window!

Thank you so much for your time! Okay, I think I have what you need, if I understood it all correctly. Here goes...
I just installed FP again, did not get the video showing on Adobe site that it was successful even though the download said it was.
Uninstalled using Adobe uninstaller, then tried install once more with the same result.
The macromed Flash folder still has the same files as listed before:
Flash10i.ocx
FlashInstall (text doc)
FlashUtil10i_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil10i_ActiveX
install (text doc)
In Control Panel I see:
Adobe Download Manager
Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX
Adobe Reader 9.3.4
Adobe Shockwave Player 11/5
Showing & enabled in IE Add-ons:
get_atlcom Class
Shockwave Flash Object
Adobe PDF Link Helper
Adobe PDF Reader
The Active X Control for Flash Player is not listed in IE
Don’t see any relevant add-ons in Firefox. BTW, I don’t usually use FF and only downloaded it again because I’d read that FP was working for some people in FF when it wasn’t in IE. So, if we don’t get FF working with FP I’m good with that.
No NPSWF files in the Flash folder for me to right click.
Can't give you any version numbers.
Did I miss anything?

Flash Player X installed but not working (6MB file instead of 15MB)

I installed version 11 Active X 11.5.502.135 BUT it is only 6MB file and should be 15MB so it does not play videos. It did not hang up during installation (download timeout) but went right ahead and installed but it cannot be the full deal. I have unistalled older versions and started fresh but no go. Can anyone help please?

Thanks for looking at my problem Pat.
1) In the list of programs in the control panel. The Flash Player file
is 6MB but in the Adobe site
download button it says the file size is 15MB.
/Name/___/ Publisher Installed        Size             Version/_
Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX        Adobe Systems Inc. 12/11/2012
6MB       11.5.502.135
I thought maybe it is only partially downloaded or partially installed.
2) I should say nothing plays. I get this screen always:
The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback.
Get the latest Flash Player <http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/>
What do you think?
Thanks again,
Dave Dawson

I have the Adobe Flash Player 9.0 Installed, but when i open
games that require it. They say i don't have Flash 8.0 or higher
would i like to install, I then hit yes and it gets 1/4 of the way
through stops and says i don't have access to install it goto the
website and install it. I've done that and it's installed
completely. Help?

James j,
You have a different problem. Your screenshot shows "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed".
See [[Plugin crash reports]] and [[The adobe Flash plugin has crashed]]. If you need more help you should [[ask a question|ask a new question]] (start a new thread).

Mac IOS Flash Player updated installed but not detected

I have repeatedly installed the new version of FlashPlayer when prompted over the past few days. My computere shows the installation as successful, but it's not working. I've visited the Adobe Troubleshooting page, and it does not detect the installation, although my finder show the program as installed. My computer is compatible with the new version, although I'm running an older IOS - Snow Leopoard ( 10.6.8) I've reinstalled several times following all directions - uninstalled old version, unblocked pop-ups, disabled fierwall.
VERY frustrating!
What do I do?
Thanks!

Snow Leopard is not iOS... iOS is an iPhone, an iPad or an iPod Touch. And there has never been a Flash Player for iOS, because Apple made iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touch incompatible with Flash Player right from the start.
You probably need to do a "clean install": How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X

Adobe Flash Player 10 installed but not running

I installed Adobe Flash Player 10 from the adobe site, and it said that it installed successfully, but when I try to watch videos on facebook or youtube it says I need to download flash player. I tried installing it again, but the install window just popped up again and said it was already installed. I restarted my computer several times, but flash player still won't run. I need help please!!!!

Hi, ok. I'll give you the instructions that you need to follow. Now McAfee must be Disabled otherwise it will block the Install of that Shockwave Flash Object. In addition to Disabling it, you will have to check it at certain steps in the process, since it will re-enable itself and block the Install.
First, some pre-Un/In steps to take. Go to Tools, Internet Options and make sure Security is set to Medium for the Internet Zone. You can do this now. Next, take a look in the system tray and know how to disable any applications that use Flash(messenger services, etc.)
Download the Uninstaller and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download the Flash Player Installer for Internet Explorer and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Disable any apps in system tray that would use Flash
Disable McAfee
Close all browsers, you'll just be looking at the Desktop
RUN the Uninstaller. When it is finished, Reboot(restart) your computer. Allow it to fully Reboot. Then check McAfee for all of the components that you Disabled to make sure it did not re-enable. Then Reboot again(to clear out old files) Then check McAfee again.(If McAfee has re-enabled either time you check, then Disable as you did before)
When fully Rebooted, RUN the Installer for Internet Explorer. Reboot Once.
Now Re-enable your McAfee if needed; since it may have already re-enabled after that Reboot..
You may want to print this out so it will be easier to follow. When you are finished, go to the test site and post back the results.
Then go to the add ons and see if the Shockwave Flash Object is now Installed and Enabled.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Flash-Addon "succesfully installed" but not listed in "add-ons", keeps asking to reinstall again and again...

I have FF 15.0.1 freshly installed on a new Win7-PC (home premium 64bit).
I have tried to install Adobe Flash from their site as well as through the automatically proposed add-on. Both claim it was "installed successfully". But when I check the addon-list, it's not there. Restarting firefox doesn't work.
I have some other plugins (pdf-reader) and extensions (ghostery, adblock) installed and they are working fine.
FF keeps me asking to install the plugin. I install it, and it's not there - asking me to install it. And so on. Could keep me busy for hours ;-(
Please help! Thanks :)

There's an addon you can install called Nightly Tester Tools that will disable the addon compatibility check in Firefox. Download it, and it will appear in the, uh, "Firefox" menu (upper left corner). There should be an option that says "force addon compatibility". Check that, then restart Firefox.
There is an option under the about:config page that will turn it off, but I forgot the command. And you DON'T want to mess with the about:config page unless you know what you're doing.
For Java, I found a better answer than "download Palemoon". Here's what I did, don't know if it will work for you.
There are two versions of Java that are safe currently: Java Version 7 Update 7, and Java Version 6 Update 35. I was having a problem getting Firefox to recognize 7 u7, but it could recognize 6 u35 just fine. So here's what I did:
1) I went to Oracle's website and downloaded the JRE directly from them, NOT from Firefox when it says to install the addon. Here is their site: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Make sure you download the JRE, and NOT the JDK, unless you plan on making your own Java apps.
2) Download the following:
Java 7 u 7 (32 bit)
Java 7 u 7 (64 bit)
Java 6 u 35 (32 bit)
Install both Java 7's first, then install Java 6 u 35.
3) When you restart Firefox, go to your addons page and see which Java plugin it is pointing to. If it is pointing to version 6 u 35, then you are having the same problem as me, and I would just keep version 6 u 35. It should work and be compatible with Firefox, cause it worked for me.
If it says it is pointing to Java 7 u 7, then you can uninstall version 6 u 35. I would keep the 64 bit version of 7 u7 just in case you have a 64 bit browser like IE that you want to use it with. But that's what finally worked for me: download all three and throw them at Firefox and hope one of them sticks.
Hope that helps.

Hp v235r flash drive not being detected on my computer

Hi,
I am using hp v235r flash drive for more than 5 years. It's not being detected on my computer since two days. Can any one solve my problem, as there is lot of important data stored in it and hasn't been backed up recently.

Hello budda48,
Its possible the driver for the pen drive is corrupted in your computer, or the drive has met its end of life.
First, confirm that the Pen Drive is seen by other computers. Plug it in to another computer that you havent tried yet.
If it is not working on other computers, then the usb drive is corrupted and there wont be anything else we can do.
If it is working in other computers, then try these steps to troubleshoot the Pen Drive.
Confirm that the port on the computer is not bad. Choose a different port to insert the drive. Next…
Part 1: Make sure that the drive has a drive letter assigned in Disk Management.
Open Computer Management by right clicking on Computer and clicking Manage.
Click on Disk Management. Give it a moment to open the view of the drives installed.
Look for a drive that does not have an assigned drive letter and is not labeled as System Reserved.
Note: System reserved drives are reserved by Windows and will not allow you to assign a letter.
Right-click the unlabeled drive and click Change drive letter and paths…
Click Add and then click OK to select the first available drive letter.
If the Change drive letter and paths… option is not available, make sure that the drive is Online.
If the drive is Offline, right-click the disk number and click Online.
Part 2: If the drive does have a letter assigned and it still does not work, uninstall the driver.
You can safely remove any usb drivers that are not in use (hidden drivers). Devices that get plugged in later will simply reinstall its needed driver again.
Remove the pen drive from the computer if it’s attached.
Right click Computer and click on Properties. In the System window on the left side, click on Advanced System Properties.
Choose the Advanced tab and click on Environment Variables… button at the bottom.
Under System Variables, click on the New… button
Type this in the box that pops up. Variable Name: devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices and also give the Variable Value: 1
Click OK on all the open windows to close them out.
Go to Computer Management again and click on Device Manager. Go to View at the top of the window and click on Show Hidden Devices.
Click on the drop down arrow for Universal Serial Bus Controllers to open the list. Look for any USB Mass Storage Device that is hidden (greyed out) and delete it. There may be several and it’s ok to delete all those hidden USB Mass Storage Devices.
When you connect the pen drive to the computer again, give it a minute to reinstall the driver.

operating system os x 10.6.8 safari 5.1.10. am told on checking that 16.0.305 is installed but not in application. have downloaded install app but cannot carry out the installation. can anyone help? am unable to use any application requiring flash player.
thank you!

Hi Anne,
Your version of Safari is still supported. Please see Adobe Flash Player | Tech specs for supported OS and browsers.
If the Flash Player plugin is in the Plug-ins (disabled) folder it's because it's an older version that Apple has disabled in Safari. This has nothing to do with whether or not Flash Player supports the browser.
I'm not sure what you mean by "when i click on flash player itself i am told there is no application to open it." Flash Player.plugin only works in the browser to view Flash content in the browser. The plugin does not open files outside of the browser. If you have SWF files you'd like to view outside of the browser, then you'll need the Flash Player projector. However, based on your previous comments this doesn't appear to be what you are trying to do.
Google Chrome does embed Flash Player in it, while Firefox does not. Mozilla has also recently started blocking older versions of Flash Player in Firefox similar to what Apple is doing in Safari.
Following the 'clean install' instructions should result in you having the latest version of Flash Player installed that will not be blocked by the browser.

IPhone 6 and iPod Touch 5 not being detected by iTunes 12

iPod 5 and iPhone 6 is not being detected after I downloaded iTunes 12.1.2
Tried changing the lightning conductor, that didn't help either.
Re-installed iTunes but it was of no use. :/

See iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
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.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
