Flash is unreliable under nearly any OS

11.2 Linux UBUNTU Firefox
11.8 Chrome built in - Google-Chrome (UBUNTU - Linux)
Chromium (linux) probably has issues as well.
Windows
Everything. One error that comes from somewhere is, I believe, 1004. I have no idea if it's a Flash error or what.
It SEEMS that one of two conditions are necessary: DRM or commercials
Had Flash just HANG (no errors) on shows here http://www.cbs.com/shows/under-the-dome/ and any major network,
But on vod%bdsmlibrary%com, you get the 1004 error. Warning - Pay Adult content. Change % to "." for URL.
The probem is basically intermittant, baut can happen many times on a single video.
This package is borderline USELESS. I'd hate to depend on it.

Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Not empty the Safari cache.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
Now try a video.

My Charger is broken but still under warranty but I'm not near any apple stores, can I just call I send my old one back and they send me a new one

No. You must call and make an arrangement to return yours for a replacement. They will set up the return and send you a box and shipping label. Then you send your old charger, cable, etc. back. A new one will be returned to you.
Do not simply send something to Apple.

Should i have an install in the flash play settings under Plug in Version?

Should i have an install in the flash play settings under Plug in Version?

I'm not sure I understand the question.
Do you have an "install" and want to knwo if it shoud be there, or are you looking for one?
I've never seen "Install" as an option in the plugins manager for any browser, because the plugins listed are already installed, or they wouldn't be in the list,

After update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.

hello,
after update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.
the used ports appear to be "killed"; the unused USB ports seem to work, but the Mac works in slow-motion.
The only "solution" is to restart my Mac.
- SMC-reset, PRAM-reset or repairing user rights had no positive effect; what is the solution - a bug-fix-update???

I have a mac mini (A1283) with OS 10.7.4. Upon upgrading to 10.7.5 it did not start up again. Instead, the light was on and the hard drive did not start up. The light on the connected USB mouse was not lit.
My solution:
Cold start with Command-v pressed.
This should start Verbose mode (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492 ).
What happened on my mac mini was that the grey startup screen with the Apple logo appeared for a long while before the login screen came.
Maybe Cmd-v set open firmware params and fixed some corruption.
Anyway: my mac mini works again.

Adobe Flash (latest) not working with any Internet browser

iMac with latest OS 10.8.3, installed Flash Player plug-in (latest). No flash videos will play in any browser (Safari, Firefox or Chrome). Based on other posts, I cleared Safari cache (deleted stored data), uninstalled Flash, and then re-installed. Still same problem.
I don't see any Preferences related to Flash plug-in in Safari or Computer Preferences.
Suggestions?

Updating Flash Player installed under Premier Elements

How may I update Flash Player filed under Premiere Elements 7? Secunia Software Inspector detected insecure version 9.0.45.0 in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0\Browser\plugins\NPSWF32.dll. Same for Premier Elements 4. After I updated Flash Player to 10.0.12.37, I still get these "insecure" notices.

Same thing happened to me.
I just copied the 10 version in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Help Center\Browser\plugins to the Premiere Elements folder you have listed there.

Hello,
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

If my MAC book pro is not under warranty any more can i still send it back to apple to get it repaired

If my MAC book pro is not under warranty any more can i still send it back to apple to get it repaired

Yes, but you should consider this.
A: Laptops usually last only about 4 years.
So if you take your investment into the machine + add any software that can't be transferred to a new machine and divide that by 4, you'll get the per year value.
Take that and estimate how many years of value you have left, then judge if the repair is going to be worth getting that remaining few years left or not.
For instance if you have $2800 invested in a machine, that's $700 a year and it's 3 years old, that means it's likely to have only $700 of value left, so it makes little sense to spend a lot to get that remaining $700. Sell it for parts and apply the funds to a new machine.
I suspect you upgraded a older machine to 10.7 and it likely killed it.

Flash doesn't work on any browser since 11.9 update.

I updated to 11.9. Since having done so, I can't get flash to work with any of my browsers (IE, Chrome, Chromium, Firefox or Opera). I am using Windows 8. In Firefox, I get the prompt to continue waiting for the plugin to work or cancel the plugin. I reset Firefox, as I've seen suggested in other threads, with no luck. I've tried the beta version also with no luck. I tried in both the latest versions of Firefox and Nightly to no affect. On Chrome, I can get video but no audio. I used Adobe's uninstaller to uninstall flash completely and re-installed flash. No luck. Any way I can dowload the older version of Flash? That worked and this version doesn't. Seriously affecting my ability to surf the web.

For IE, can you try the steps outlined here?

For Chrome, please navigate to "about:flash" and paste the contents displayed
For Firefox, please navigate to "about:plugins" and again paste the contents of this page

See if BNN has an app in the app store or do without.
Adobe does not make a flash player for ipod/ipad/iphone and likely never will.

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

A 2nd gen shuffle is about six year old at this point. The likely cause is a battery that is worn out, with greatly reduced capacity or inability to hold a charge. The initial green light shows a good charge. The red light means the battery is drained.
Since the shuffle still appears in iTunes, you can try doing a Restore in case the cause is related to corrupted software on the shuffle. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.
Also, when the light becomes red and the shuffle stops playing, try turning OFF the shuffle for at least ten seconds. Then, turn it back ON. This resets the shuffle. Does it play again? If it does, let it play until it no longer plays again. Repeat turning it OFF and ON until it no longer plays. Then, connect it to power and charge it to full. See if that makes any difference.
If that does not help, the solution is to replace the battery. If you have a repair shop do it, the cost is probably uneconomical, compared to the cost of a brand new 4th gen shuffle ($50) that has more features, and a new set of headphones, plus a one-year warranty.
If you are good at such things, this web site has repair guides

Flash Player not working on any browser. (Video's keep loading forever)

Hello everyone!
I've been having problems with my Flash Player for about a week now and I just can't seem to find a solution that works.
I'm not sure when the last update was, but I assume that could have caused my problems somehow. It used to work properly before.
I now have Adobe Flash Player version 16.0.0.235.
The browser I use is: Google Chrome.
I use Windows 8 x64.
I also tried Firefox and Internet Explorer to see if I can watch video's there, but they don't work there either. The video's just keep loading no matter what I do.
Strangely enough today one video suddenly started to play itself after about..5 minutes. But when I tried to watch other video's after that happened, it didn't seem to work anymore.
The first day I installed Firefox I could just watch video's without any problems as well. But after that, It didn't work anymore either. It worked for just one day.
YouTube video's work properly, though. So do Facebook games, GIF's and such.
I only can't watch video's on other websites. ( For example: AnimeHaven ) My friends have no problems watching these video's.
I have no idea what could be the cause of these problems and I hope someone can help me fix this.
I tried everything I could find on the internet so far.

Yeah, it's probably not a driver thing. If you haven't rebooted already, definitely do that. It might just be that the graphics hardware is in a bad state.
The last thing we shipped was December 9th, so it's not like Flash Player changed. If these symptoms just started recently, it seems unlikely that a recent change to Flash is the root-cause. It's possible that Chrome might have pushed a change since then, but I talked to the Chrome guys yesterday and they didn't mention anything about a widespread video playback problem. They have really excellent telemetry, so they usually know pretty quickly when things break.
It might be that your Chrome install is somehow damaged, and you could do a complete uninstall/reinstall of Chrome to see if the issue goes away. You can also disable hardware acceleration in Chrome itself (it's under Preferences > Advanced > System > Use hardware acceleration if available) to see if that helps.
Is the issue isolated to a specific video or video site/sites? Does it happen in either Internet Explorer or Firefox (they're both significantly different copies of Flash Player, which would be an interesting data point)?

Do you know any flash plugins for safari or any other browser?

I often go on miniclip.com where you need a plugin to play an online game. I am wondering if anyone knows of any plugins I could install.

These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them).
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

How Can I Learn To Develop Flash Games For Under $50.00 USD?

I am completely new to anything Flash. I have never written a
single line of Actionscript. I don't know the difference between
Flash and Flex. I don't know in what forums Flash developers hang
out. I don't even know what kind of coffee they drink, or if they
drink tea instead.
However, I have developed games and have been thinking about
developing some casual games and have heard rumors that Adobe is
"pushing" causal game development with Actionscript 3 and their
latest releases. So I went to adobe.com expecting to see a link for
something like "learn how to develop games in flash" or some such.
I poked around the developer related pages and didn't find anything
I thought useful.
What I did find were plenty of stuff for *existing* flash
developers. Links to articles and HowTos for specific topics and
information about products that cost a minimum of several hundred
dollars. I can't learn how to develop games and create a prototype
with a 30-day trial, and I am not going to buy a $1000 pro-grade
tool when I am an indie developer without a budget or a pre-funded
project that would justify such expenditures.
I have seen some open source stuff, but don't know if it can
do anything more than build some annoying shaking banner ads.
So let me introduce myself as a possible use-case for Adobe
Marketing and the Flash (Game) Developer community.
I am an educated experience software developer who has a day
job doing "enterprise" software stuff. I want to *play* in my free
time (evenings and weekends) with "Flash Stuff" and learn enough to
be able to build a simple game that I can put on my personal
website and have my friends download. I am not a student, so I
can't get student discounts. The money I have goes toward
toys^H^H^H^H tools for my other coding habits^H^H^H^H^H projects. I
am not interested in 30-day trials, as I may go 45-days or more
between the first and second weekends I get to play with this. I
know OOP so I want to start out learning how to do the "advanced"
stuff from day one and not have to start with dragging and dropping
PNGs w/o any coding and then "relearn" how to do it in code so I
can do anything beyond having the image appear and rotate.
I *am* willing to put time into this endeavor, but only after
I have a few things spoon-fed to me by "advocates" who's job is to
get me "hooked" and willing to invest my time to go beyond Hello
World. At the same time I am download and playing with GarageGames,
TGE/TGB, Game Maker, Dark Basic, Blitz Basic, etc. and many
complete development environments that are full-featured and
completely free if I limit myself to releasing only freeware games,
or cost me less than $50 for the "professional" version with all
the bells and whistles.
I have heard rumors and rumblings about some open source
tools being available and Adobe maybe open sourcing some of their
previously pay-to-play tools, but also understand that Adobe can
probably provide a better "comprehensive" package of tools,
documentation, tutorials, and support, *if I can find the right
place to ask/start.*
And, most of all, I don't know where to start my search as I
have no personal contacts to bug about stuff like this.
So, where can I find the big red button to push and get
everything I want handed to me on a silver-platter.
[please understand I have written this with some attempt at
self-mocking humor and am not some clueless n00b]
Thank you for taking the time to read my lengthy posting. I
hope to find some helpful replies and start down an interesting
learning path.
--Chaim

Just saw your post. Better late than never. You may want to
consider GameBrix.com, where you can create Flash based, casual
games using your web browser. No downloads are required. You can
create a game from scratch using a library of images, sounds and
game mechanics. You can also upload your own. The online script
editor will allow you to view and edit the ActionScripts associated
with each game mechanic. In short, a great way to ramp up on game
design and build your own game without investing a lot of $
upfront.
BTW I am associated with GameBrix so any feedback is
appreciated.
