Flash not recognized by IE

All of a sudden, pages that require Flash are giving me a
message that I need to install Flash 9. I followed provided links
to the Adobe site, went thru process and got the "movie" and
message saying it was successfully installed. But the web pages
(such as Staples' weekly ad) continue to tell me that Flash 9 is
needed, with a link to Adobe to install. I re-started computer,
same results. I can't view anything that requires Flash.
This problem just appeared this week. Until now, I've had no
problems viewing these pages.
Please help... this is driving me crazy.

In my experience, there are 2 reasons you could be having
this problem, only one of which might be something on your
computer.
1. The website you are trying to view does not have something
set correctly in their Flash detection script. This is the most
likely candidate, though I might try fixing the problem a la #2
before assuming its a problem with the website.
2. Your Flashplayer install is corrupt. This could have
happened before you upgraded, or there might have been an error in
the upgrade. If this is the problem, you need to completely
uninstall the player, which is more difficult than it sounds, and
re-install it. Or, you can do the "hack" method that my company
does. That is to go to "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files" and
deelte the "Shockwave Flash Object" entry - or simply delete the
entire folder. This will cause IE to re-install all of its plug-ins
the next time you try to use them, and usually fixes Flash
problems.

  • Adobe Flash not recognized in Firefox 5

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the current 10.3 version of Adobe Flash player. It registers fine in Chrome and Safari, Firefox 5 does not see it. The Flash plugin is in the proper path for Mac users (Library/Internet Plug-Ins/) along with all the other usuals Flip4Mac, Java, Quicktime etc... I don't know what else to do.

    I have this problem with FF5 on both Win7 and Snow Leopard.

  • ATP Photo Finder GPS not recognized on Mac as USB flash drive

    Much like the problem with the Sony GPS-CS1, it appears the ATP Photo Finder device also will not be recognized as a flash drive on a Mac. Tiger worked with the Sony for awhile, but recent updates (as well as Leopard 10.5.x) have made it no longer work. There are other topics on the GPS-CS1 in these forums detailing those problems.
    I picked up an ATP Photo Finder from My Discount Digital to try it out. It logs data, then you insert the memory card in to the device and it will GPS stamp the JPGs. It sounds like a great idea, but when it didn't work I was going to have to plug it up to my Mac and use PC software via Parallels to reprocess the images.
    It is not recognized -- and under Parallels, a new USB device shows up simply listed as "U" under the pull-down menu. When I try to select it, it claims it is already in use. Methinks Apple Mac OS X is semi-grabbing the device but not being able to use it.
    Odd.
    So I post this in case others have the ATP Photo Finder and have problems... Maybe we can figure something out.

    Well, here's an odd (and quick) self follow-up... I was reading an Apple Help file and it suggested looking at the System Profiler to see if the device is being recognized. Indeed, it showed the "U" and some garbled characters (so something is not quite right). It also showed it was plugged in through my powered USB hub. I bought this hub after running in to issues with devices that would not work plugged in to the iMac keyboard... On a whim, I plugged the ATP Photo Finder in to the non-powered USB port on the keyboard and ... it worked. It still shows up as U(garbled) but I was able to access it from the Mac Finder.
    Interesting.

  • USB flash drive not recognized by computer. Have tried all options of which I can think.

    Okay.  I have a Patriot S-Mini 32GB flash drive that my Windows 8.1 HP Slimline 400-434 is not recognizing. I believe it recognized it once, and has refused to do so since. My laptop (Windows 7 Toshiba) recognizes it just fine. 
    All other USB devices function perfectly on this computer. USB mouse/keyboard/USB Hub/Apple iPhone cable.
    1. I have tried unplugging all other USB devices before trying this one. FAIL
    2. I have gone to Device Management and the USB drive does not appear in the list. FAIL
    3. I have uninstalled the USB Root Hubs and restarted the computer. FAIL
    4. I have tried plugging the USB drive into the rear ports that plug directly into the motherboard. FAIL
    5. I have updated the drivers, and have been unable to find a BIOS update as the link on the HP website downloads and says that it is incompatible for my computer. FAIL
    ...so what the bloody gorram heck do I do now? 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Okay, and in the most ridiculous way I have ever solved a technical problem...
    The USB flash cannot be inserted ALL the way into the port. It has to be inserted slowly, so that the contacts line up. 
    I figured this out by trying to connect it into my USB hub and noticing that the red indicator light was going on and off as I inserted the USB drive, flickering on as I inserted it and then off once it was all the way in. 
    Weird. But hey. It works now.

    Do other USB devices work on your MBP?
    Does this USB stick work on other MBPs?
    There is a possibility that the stick requires more power than the MBP delivers.  Try it on a powered hub.
    Ciao.

  • Flash Builder 4.6 Not Recognizing Valid CS 5.5 Premium Serial Number

    I have downloaded and attempted to install Flash Builder 4.6 over the install of FB 4.5 that came with Web Premium 5.5
    The serial number from my original install is not recognized as a valid serial number for FB 4.6
    I am hesitant to uninstall FB 4.5 first and attempt the install of 4.6 since I am running Windows 7 64 bit and others in this forum are saying they have had install issues on that platform.
    Come on Adobe !  You are better than this !
    Anyone have a solution?

    in another thread jleydig has mentioned very precisely how to serialize FB 4.6. Please follow it for serializing FB 4.6
    1) Deactivated CS 5.5 by going into Flash Builder clicking Help > Deactivate Flash Builder...and clicking "Deactivate Permanently" (which deactivated the entire suite)
    2) Uninstalled only Flash Builder 4.5 and the iOS Component through the Control Panel (I'm sure you know how to do but just in case... go to Control Panel > Programs and Features (terminology may vary based on your OS) and click on your CS and click Uninstall. This will launch the Adobe uninstaller. From there deselect everything and only select (check) Flash Builder 4.5 and the iOS Component and then uninstall them - uninstalling the iOS Component might not be necessary, but I did it anyway)
    3) Restarted after those uninstalled
    4) Launched Photoshop and entered my CS Serial Number (you should be able to launch any CS program thats still installed to do this)
    5) Once it opened, closed it
    6) Installed Flash Builder 4.6 in Trial Mode making sure to select the same language used when CS was installed (that's IMPORTANT)
    7) Launched Flash Builder 4.6 in 60-Day (or however many days it was) Trail Mode
    8) Once it opened, closed it
    9) Launched Flash Builder 4.6 again, but this time I entered the Serial Number from my CS (at that point it accepted the SN and opened like normal and has everytime since)
    10) I then installed my iOS Component from my original CS

  • Flash Drive Not Recognized

    I have an 8GB flash drive that worked until last night. I was uploading a 3.6 GB file and it crashed. I tried using Disk Utility to reformat the drive, but then that crashed too, along with Finder. I had to hold the power button to shut down my computer.
    Now my flash drive isn't recognized by my Mac and does not come up with Disk Utility. I tried using it on a PC and the PC realized it was inserted but it was not recognized.
    HELP!

    It's not the power in the ports because other USB devices still work without a problem.
    Missed the part where you told us that. 8^)
    Then format it on the PC and bring it back to the Mac.

  • Can't download flash player - 'Disk image not recognized'

    MAC OS X
    10.6.8
    2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    I'm trying to download and install the lastest adobe flash player but having a little problem. It downloads without any problem but when I come to double click it it comes up with the following warning/error message.
    The following disk images couldn't be opened. Reason - Not Recognized
    I have no idea why this has suddenly come up.
    I've complete uninstalled Adobe flash player and tried to reinstall it but it still hasn't worked.
    I've also tried to open the 'install_flash_player_osx.dmg' file in Disk Utility but it says its 'Unable to attach'. One thing I have noticed is that the Disk write status is - Not mounted, read only
    I'm not sure what this means. If someone could help me out I would appricate it very much.

    Not certain what other issue may be the cause of the symptom(s) you've stated above, but there is a link to try & get an Adobe flash player plugin for Snow Leopard 10.6.8 through this page. Also note the comments by users there who relate experience, and an apparent link to a recent beta version(?)
    https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/4783/adobe-flash-player
    While other system maintenance may need to be done for the computer to see any update correctly, there also is a chance the file may not be the proper one. Several exist at the Adobe site, some are not compatible.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Why is Youtube not recognizing my Adobe Flash Player Add-On?

    I just did the auto update so that Firefox 17.0 was installed. Anyway, for whatever reason, Youtube only seems to notice that my Adobe Flash Player add-on exists when it wants to. At the moment, it's not recognizing it, so I can't play videos. I've had to close out my current sessions of Firefox to get it to recognize the Flash Player, and then even then it's a crap shoot. What is going on? How can I fix this? Flash is one of the most basic programs needed in an internet browser, these days.

    Yes, this worked. And, I didn't even have to close Firefox to get it to work.

  • Flash 16 not recognized by browsers

    Hello everyone,
    I recently reinstalled windows 7 64bits on my machine, and quickly installed Chromium 42 (64bits). I then visited a web page which required flash, a Chromium banner told me to install flash, so I followed the given link, leading to the official Adobe site, downloaded and installed flash, restarted chromium, even my computer, but flash is still not recognized.
    I searched a little further, and tried out the PPAPI with the same results, following these instructions : http://chromium.woolyss.com/#flash
    chrome://plugins does not list the flash plugin either. I think the issue come from Flash itself as Internet Explorer 11 doesn't find it as well.
    Do you have any idea where the issue can come from? Should I provide more infos?
    Thanks already

  • Flash 8 not recognizing fonts

    I'm experiencing difficulties with Flash 8 not recognizing
    the majority of a font family.
    Its strange because Photoshop & Illustrator recognize
    them & display them just fine.
    The fonts involved my project include:
    Helvetica
    Helvetica Compressed
    Helvetica Condensed
    Helvetica Black
    Helvetica Light
    Helvetica Extra Compressed
    Helvetica LT Std
    Helvetica Neue
    Helvetica Ultra Compressed
    Of this list, Flash 8 is only recognizing:
    Helvetica
    Helvetica LT Std
    Helvetica Neue
    So at this point I'm having to literally type EVERYTHING out
    in Illustrator, export swfs, and import them into Flash.
    This is obviously time consuming and makes simple text
    changes a pain.
    I'm leaning towards the fact that this is a corrupt font
    issue, yet these fonts are available in every other software I've
    tried them in.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?
    Any thoughts??
    Thank you!!!
    -eric

    I was having the same problem, with other fonts. I tried what brianimator suggested and it made it worse. Half of my fonts are now again gone. I can't take this anymore... worse of all, verdana is still MIA.
    Those fonts are all in system/library/fonts, they just don't work with Flash and only Flash. I'm ready to shoot myself soon. I don't know what else to try. Any ideas, anyone?
    PS: I have an iMAC OSX 10.5.7 and I run Adobe CS4 (fonts are recognized in all other applications)

  • Flash Version Not Recognized - Can't Use The Player

    I'm on a Windows XP Home platform. I have installed the
    latest Flash Player version (9,115) several times. When I try to
    play videos requiring Flash, I get a message saying the the version
    is not recognized or a down version was found. Consequently, I
    cannot play videos involving the Flash Player. Any help would be
    appreaciated.

    it sounds like a broken hold switch.  you should be able to google ipod repair and find a place that will replace the switch for you.
