Flash 12.0.0.77 is installed but it's not working

MAC OS 10.6.8
Firefox 27.0.1
Flash Player 12.0.0.77
When I try to install Flash player, I get a message that 'installation is complete'. When I got to Adobe's Flash information page the box with the red font correctly lists my OS, Browser version and the flash player version. I also see the clouds moving in the test image. But Flash player is not installed anywhere. It's not listed under Applications or in the Library under internet plug-ins. When I go to Firefox, Tools, Add Ons, Plug-ins, Shockwave flash says version 12.0.0.77 and is listed as 'Always activate'. I also did a clean uninstall and reinstall and that did not help. So, how do I fix this problem?

You may be looking in the wrong library.
There are three (3);
Mac HD/Library
Mac HD/System/Library
[user]/Library
It's in the Internet Plug-ins folder of the Mac HD Library
Or you can Spotlight search "Flash Player.plugin"
And lastly, have you checked your Safari preferences under Security to be sure "Allow all other plug-ins" is checked?

  • I have silverlight installed but it will not work.

    I have silverlight Version: 5.1.30514.0 installed on a Toshiba Satellite running Vista Home Premium SP2 64bit.  
    I use this everyday for work.  When I came in this morning. It wasn't working so naturally I looked for an update I ran the installer from the website which uninstalled Version: 5.1.30514.0 and attempted to install a 64 bit version. (I can not
    determine whether my current version is 32 or 64 bit). It said it was not compatible with my OS (even though it is listed to be compatible under system requirements). 
    So I re-installed Version: 5.1.30514.0 through windows update but it will still not work. 
    Any ideas on how to fix this?  The website that uses it is vital to my job. I really need to quick fix that isn't talking my company into buying a more up to date computer. 

    I've encountered a similar problem with Silverlight on my Vista PC. 
    Several weeks ago I read a brief item stating that Google would be dropping support for npapi and that it would affect Silverlight in April.  One of my key daily apps uses Silverlight, but I didn't receive notification from that software's author about
    the pending change and how it would be handled.  Successfully used the app every week (Mon-Fri) this month for 8-10 hrs/dy day (as I've been doing for the past ~5+ years: past year under Chrome, year before that under FireFox, ~3 prior years under
    IE) and on Fri 4/17 shut it down for the weekend.  When I booted up on Mon morning and tried to log into the key app however, it prompted me to download and install Silverlight, acting as though I never had it installed!  (And in fact, I couldn't
    find it when looking under > Control Panel  > Programs and Features!)
    I recalled the earlier warning about Google dropping support, so I closed Chrome, started up FireFox, but got the same prompt from the app -- it directed me to install Silverlight.  I downloaded it (had no choice as to which version, just got the "Silverlight_x64.exe"
    file) and got part-way through the install when this error msg popped up:  "Unable to Install Silverlight.  Your operating system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight".  WHAT?!  According to  > Control Panel
    > System, I'm running "Windows Vista Home Premium", with a "System Type:  64-bit Operating System".  I've been using this same Vista PC since Sep 2008 and running Silverlight for around the past 5 yrs.
    Can someone explain why the Silverlight installer code doesn't deem Vista worthy of running its latest and greatest version? 
    Is there a way to get an older version of Silverlight that will run under Vista? 
    Is this just another means to a forced OS "upgrade"?
    Thanks in advance for any helpful comments.

  • I installed speedbit download maneger and there after ,my firrfox not open,i tried re-install but it is not working at all, so please give me solution

    yesterday i installed DAP speedbit download maneger and there after my firefox did not open , i tried re-install but it is still not open ,please give me solution

    If you hold down the '''Shift''' key, that should start Firefox in Safe Mode.
    See [[Safe Mode]].<br/>
    After clicking on '''Continue in Safe Mode''', does the problem still occur in Safe Mode? If not, you can uninstall or disable the extension. See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].

  • Am running Vista and it shows Adobe flash player 100% installed but it will not work. I have uninstalled numerous times and still no luck. Had success on older computer running XP. I have searched the net and attempted numerous options but to no avail.

    Adobe Flash player states it is installed and gives the current version but when I attempt to view a video it tells me to download the newest flash player however it showed I have installed it.
    When I go to uninstall programs it does not show any files have been downloaded for the program... so I have uninstalled; restarted; re-installed under administrator; turned off any virus protection and firewalls... etc.
    Basically I have tried everything I have seen posted.
    I need help!!!!

    Do you have NoScript or Flashblock or some similar Extension installed? If so, are you allowing the site, at least on a temporary basis, access by such an Extension?
    Your Shockwave for Director is out of date. You can check here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    To update it, use the link on the page below under "Installing Shockwave", download and save to your hard drive, close Firefox, click the file you downloaded, after the install, open Firefox and check on the above link again.

  • Windoes 8 flash player installed but youtube videos not working?

    I brought a laptop that already came with windows 8 installed on it and adobe flash player. it says i have adobe flash player and there are no problems with it but when i play youtube videos its just instead of the box where the video should be its just black blox instead with not even the buffering sign or play button or anything. so how do i fix this?

    If you right click on the black box, do you see a menu appear (displaying About Flash Player at the bottom)?  Do you see the same behavior when using IE in either desktop or modern/metro mode?  For details on these differences and a couple of other troubleshooting steps, please see this help doc:

  • Flash Player has downloaded/installed, but still does not work

    This is a relatively new problem for my computer, but from what i have read, is a common problem so I know it is not my computer.  Out of the blue, click on a video and all i see is a black screen.  No adobe logo saying i needed to update or download in order to watch video.  So i unistalled, rebooted and reinstalled..nothing.  I uninstalled/installed with zip..nothing.  Everything that is enabled is enabled..nothing.  Reset IE...nothing.  Downloaded Mozilla..nothing.  I am currently running windows xp, IE 8 (32 bit) and all security software are disabled.  The crazy part is that when i check the file for flash player, it does not show any bites in file.  I know there should be bites in there because i checked on a computer with working flash player and it shows 6.00 mb.  So somewhere from the installation, the file is lost.  i have tried pretty much all suggestions, dating back from '09 and really really need some advice.  

    ok..flash player x is listed.  always has been.  i don't understand the whole "no files" bit cuz the computer that i am using show 6.00mb in files.  unless it is outdated? this computer is brand new, custom made as of last month to my specs, so i can't see how adobe would be outdated.  Mozilla shows in my add/remove files, but that flash player plugin is nowhere to be found.  in fact, this is all the adobe files i see in order:
    Adobe AIR
    Adobe Download Manager
    Adobe Flash Player10 Active X
    Adobe Flash Reader X
    Adobe Shockwave Player 11.5
    i am really not liking mozilla, however...upon clicking a video, it is telling me i need to update to newer version of adobe.  When i click on dl, it gives me a window to save as a binary file.  it will not download and all security/firewall are off.  Shockwave has always been enabled.  pretty much anything you posted to do in past threads..i have done.  its driving me crazy
    i can bring up other websites, just cannot watch videos and was stuck on that redirect to adobe forum..will try the forum again.

  • I can't load Adobe Flash. It looks like it installs but it is not working!

    I download flash and it tells me to close Firefox. After I do that it appears to install. But, anything that requires flash tells me I don't have it installed and asked to download it again. It does work with IE

  • GPO is set for "Auto download and notify for install" but it does not work correctly on two of my servers.

    Hello,
    I have a problem with two of my servers. I have ~200 servers which are updating fine through WSUS. The settings are as you can see "3 - Auto download and notify for install" in the GPO.
    This is the correct setting. I want to achieve that I can install the updates whenever I want on these servers. On client computers there is a strict schedule with auto installs.
    My GPO works fine for 98% of my servers. On two servers (a big file server and a TMG server) the settings are made as you can see in the screenshots, but the updates still get installed automatically.
    I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here... It is a big problem for me that updates get installed automatically on these servers.
    Although the Policy and the Registry both say 3 the server behaves like option 4 is active.
    I would be very thankful for any input on how to find out what's the issue here.

    and was not able to find any sign of an admin installing it in the WindowsUpdate.log.
    Then the Windows Update Agent DID NOT install this update, and it's not really a WSUS issue.
    My typical response to such a claim would be to ask you to show me in the WindowsUpdate.log where the update was installed... but it seems that request has already been answered.
    The more relevant question it seems, is HOW DID these updates allegedly get installed?

  • Says Adobe Flash Player 11 successfully installed but it is NOT!

    Hi, I tried to install the Adobe Flash Player 11. It says each time (tried many times) it was successfully installed but it was not. Actually it gets to 50% then stops and sometimes ask me to close Internet Explorer sometimes does not and then when I close it, it runs fast to 100% saying successfully installled. When I check in my control panel it gives me only 6MB installed but should be 16.3MB. But actually is not installed at all.
    My OS is windows 7.
    Please help, I need AFP ASAP. Thank you

    Here's what I recommend:
    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one (or both) of the following links.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Because IE asks if you want to "Run" or "Save", choose "Save".
    Reboot...
    Then perform a "clean install"
    Afterward, make sure Flash Player is enabled for Internet Explorer
