Flash installs successfully but still doesn't work

I'm getting very agitated at my cpu. I go to a site that
requires flash. I'm directed to adobe to install it. Installation
is successful...always. I have tried closing my browser and
reopening and it still says I need to install flash to view that
site. I can go back to Adobe, install it again, reboot my cpu and
it still tells me the same thing. I have done all of the
troubleshooting tips and nothing helps. The only thing I can think
is that I have the latest version of Windows Internet Explorer 7
installed and maybe Flash isn't synced with it yet. Is there anyone
else out there with this type of problem?

I found another forum that seems to have a solution.

These guys have Firefox installed and manually moved the
plugin and then click on it to run it for IE7. I wasn't quite ready
to install Firefox to get IE working... unless that's Mr. Gate's
suggestion. In any case, it's worth reading. Basically, IE7 with
Flash 8 or 9 can be problematic.

  • Downloaded Flash Player update but still doesn't work!

    Hi I have downloaded several times the new update for Flash Player and every time I go on to watch iPlayer it still asks to download the software. I have done the instructions about 6 times now and its really annoying! Its a Mac laptop - can anyone help???

    Yes I downloaded it and installed it. I have also uninstalled Flash Player and reinstalled it and yet it still doesn't recognise it.

  • I have uninstalled and reinstalled flash player successfully, but it doesn't work

    After being told that I didn't have flash player since the recent update, I have tried many times to successfully update.  Even after I was able to successfully update, after restarting my computer I am still told that I do not have flash player installed.  HELP!

    With WIndows 7? Not so common, but I'm seeing more and more of it.
    Here's the trouble:  "User-Agent Strings"
    That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
    Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
    The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
    Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess thay've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
    They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
    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.

    Your Mac is definitely one of the supported models? http://www.apple.com/uk/osx/specs/
    If so, what happens when you try to download? Is it a case of nothing happens? If so, take a look at the suggestions under 'Stalled Download' in this link:
    http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/10/mavericks-issues-and-fixes/#slideid-23477 1
    Also, some usrs have found that logging out of the Mac App Store and then back in again and starting over has kick-started the download. It seems that the 5+gb download can take a long time to give any feedback as to what's happening.

  • I lost my connection when I was using internet and when I want to reconnect to airport it give me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

    Hi,
    I lost my airport connection when I was using internet and when I wanted to re-reconnect to airport it gave me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

    Hello there hastibahreini,
    It sounds like you were using your Wi-Fi network from your Airport base station and the connection cut out. You have reset the password on the device but the issue persists. I would try the 3 resets outlined in the following article in order to help resolve the issue. If it persists, is the Wi-Fi connection issue happening on more than one device or computer?

    Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. All of the Camera Raw technology is part of the Lightroom program. You will either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or use the DNG converter to create digital negative copies that can be used with Lightroom 4.

    Adobe Acrobat 8 has two problems on my iMac. The lesser problem comes when I go into the Print command and click "Preview." I get a message that says that Preview isn't supported.
    Preview is not supported because building a preview of a print job under OS X involves creating a .PDF file. You already have a .PDF file open if you're using Acrobat, so there's no point creating a new one.
    The greater problem just cropped up as I was writing about my problems with Quicktime and Real Player: Acrobat tried to update itself and then gave me a message that says, "Cannot overwrite file /Users/(myname)/Documents/Update5/AdobeUpdater/acrobat8pro-en_US/AUMProduct.dmg .
    That's not a problem with Acrobat. The system is saying that you have a file named AUMProduct.dmg in place already, and you don't have permission to update it. You need to change the permissions on that file so that you can update it, or to use an account which has update permission. Or it might just be locked and you need to unlock it. Locate it using the Finder (you have the complete path to the file listed above) and see what permissions are on the file and whether or not it is locked.
    You might also just put the entire Update5 folder into the Trash and try updating again.
    The file maybe be locked or you may not have sufficient access rights. Please make sure you have write access to this file." Can anyone help? Thanks.

    I have downloaded it again but still doesn't work. I want Lightroom and it keeps saying I need this to download it.

    1.If internet is fine then this might be becase of Creative cloud files, please try the steps metioned in http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/unknown-server-error-launchin g-cc.html and see if it works.
    2.Please navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db and trash it. Try to launch CC desktop and sign in with your Adobe Id (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-f iles.html) .
    {Note for step 2: The file is in the user Library, not the Applications folder. To see the hidden user Library (not the system Library) in the Finder click on the Gomenu item and then hold down the Alt / Option key. You will see Library appear between Home and Computer. Click onLibrary and then navigate toApplication Support > Adobe > OOBE.
    Alternatively open the Terminal and paste in the following and then press the Enter / Return key:
    rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db, This will also delete the file}

  • HT1212 what happen if you did recovery mode but still doesn't work?

    What happen to my iPod even i run recovery mode done but it still doesn't works?

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer

  • Installed Flash and it said it was successful but it doesn't work?

    I installed the Flash Player and it said it was successful, but when i went to use it the page that says "you need flash to view this content" came up. So, i uninstalled the program and reinstalled it, but the same thing happened. Then I checked the preferences on safari and made sure javascript and plugins were enabled (I tried to enable java too but i couldnt find it on the preference menu). This didnt help and it still gave me the same message. Then, i went to the adobe website and they had a button that checked to see if flash was installed on your computer and when I clicked it, it said i didnt, but it was installed. I have tried pretty much everything and have read all the forums and nothing seems to be working.
    The computer I have is a MacBook pro, version 10.9 and safari is version 7.
    Thank you
