Flash on my pc not recognised

I have the most recent version of Flash Player installed.
Yet any time I am on a web page requiring flash am told I need to download and install flash player.
What do I need to do to make Adobe Flash Player 11.6 open when necessary?

After some uninstalling and re-installing I have got it working in Internet Explorer. To recap: it was working fine, stopped working in Firefox (and has never worked since) but does work in Explorer.

Installed Flash Player 12 ActiveX not recognised - Windows 7 & Internet Explorer

On 2/5/2014 I downloaded Adobe Flash Player 12 ActiveX for the 4th time and yet the system is giving me an error message saying "You're mission the video converter tool." I have a HP Windows 7 system. Back in October, I was able to use the Internet Explorer, go to the website CWtvnow and watch The Vampire Diaries online. But, my system went thru an automated system update on its own and since then I have not been able to watch videos on the internet using Internet Exployer. I'm tired on downloading the Adobe software and still not working. I am not a PC expert, but where ever drive the software is being downloaded to, its not functioning. HELP

I have installed flash player but the computer does not recognise it

I have installed flash player 11 and checked it is installed on my compuer.
But if I try to play any media it says I need to install flash player.
I went to your website at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html and got this message.
I have tried uninstalling flash player and then trying again, restarting computer etc. But the computer will not play any media in IE.
If you go to the control panel the player is installed. But thigs like iplayer do not recognise it as being installed.

The message is clear: "Flash Player is either not installed or not enabled". Did you check if it's enabled:

Adobe Reader 9.5.1 does not recognise older version of Flash Plugin 10.3.183.18 it requires 11.2

I have a problem in upgrading Adobe Reader to 9.5.1 as it is not recognising older version of Flash Plugin 10.3.183.18 and it prompts the user to download and install Flash Player 11.2, this is not the case with Adobe Reader v 10.1.3 as it works fine with 10.3.183.18
My Firm is not ready to rollout Flash player 11.2 , is there any work around or a fix available to fix this issue , does anyone know which API is responsible for this Flash content

Hi,
This was an intended change along with Reader 9.5.1. This new strategy simplifies Acrobat and Reader deployments by reducing the number of future required updates should a security issue arise. Moreover, you can now manage and update Acrobat products and Flash individually.
Please refer to the following release note document for the 9.5.1 release for more information regarding the same:

Audio recording on a flash. recommended to download vlc media player did this. tried to play messages says quicktime does not recognise this format. what to do pleaser

RECIEVED AN AUDIO RECORDING ON A FLASH. PLUGGED IT IN. DOWNLOADED VLC MEDIA PLAYER AS RECOMMEMDED. TRIED TO PLAY.
MESSAGE RECEIVED SAYING QUICKTIME DOES NOT RECOGNISE THIS FORMAT. WHAT TO DO PLEASE.

You could add Perian. It may help (...or not).
Wait, you received and audio recording and you are trying to use a video player (vlc) to play it? What kind of file is it? Does it have a filename extension? If it is .wmv then you might want to install Flip4Mac. Then you could play it with QuickTime.

My windows 7 machine does not recognise .swf files. I have down loaded the flash player but I think.

My windows 7 machine does not recognise .swf files. I have down loaded the flash player but I think but it is linked as a plug in with chrome and IE. How can I get my windows to recognise the .swf files to play them.

The downloaded file is the projector, not an installer; you need to make the file association manually:
move the downloaded exe file to a location you can remember, e.g. C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
right-click on a swf file and select Open with > Choose default program
navigate to the folder you saved the player and select flashplayer_13_sa.exe

Flash not recognised by slideshow building programs only

Hi All,
Please offer me some advice.
Having installed Amara flash slideshow builder it failed to run stating my flash was not installed or out of date. I knew this was not the case but uninstalled and re-installed flash anyway. I tested it on the adobe site, all ok and also tested it on a couple of sites using flash. All ok. Same problem with Amara tho', not recognised.
So downloaded SWF 'n slide, another slideshowmaker. It also failed to recognise any flash installed (with dialog).
Following some research I downloaded SubInACL from microsoft and ran it to ensure all my permissions were ok, but seems they were ok as it hasn't changed anything. What do I do now? I'm kind of stuck, I really need a flash slideshow builder, but seems they won't run, why? Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks, Peter

What exactly means "will not recognize"; do you get any messages?
What is your Flash Player version? See http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html#main_Find_the_Flash_ Player_version_installed_on_your_machine

Flash not recognised.

Evening all,

upgrade it.
However, no matter how many times i upgrade to the latest

Anyone experienced this before ??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It came out many times on the forum, you might want to try to
search, meantime tho
why not trash the player entirely and reinstall it from
scratch.
Close the browser and look for folder call MACROMED somewhere
in C:\windows\system or system32
Than trash the player and download new one.
You can also check macromedia.com/support/flash
I believe there is a technote dealing with player
troubleshooting, sorry don't have
any direct link at the moment to paste it for you.

Macbook pro(2008 later) can not recognise external monitor(NEC UXI2090) with mini-DP to DVI adapter with 9600GT

I bought mini-DP to DVI frome Apple several monthes ago and it worked well in that time until yesterday the external monitor show me no signal sign. Other PCs were connected with the same cable and monitor and they are fine. I am wondering there is something wrong in the adaptor or macbook pro. Furthermore I found the external monitor can display nornally when I switched to 9400 graphic card and used mini-DP to VGA adapter. If I switch to 9600GT no signal again. If I switch 9400 using mini-DVI, it is shown on the external screening: Out of range... In a word, In the mode of 9600GT, mac can not recognise external monitor(I can not detect it in the systerm preference even I press detect display buttun) and 9400 works in VGA mode. However when I connect adapter to mac, the screen showed blue flash.
I reseted SMC, no use; I created a new account or enter mac to safe mode, no use; so far I did not reseted PRAM beacuse of something wrong of my system. I am downlaoding Mountain Lion OS and will install it. Then I will reset PRAM and try again.
I do not know whether I shoud change the adapter or the single-link DVI cable to dual-link. Someone said it is useful in their condition. I tried some methods from BBS, such as connected when devices were off and then open, and so on. I failed.
Any suggestion for this problem?
Addition: OS: 10.7.4(Lion)

I turns out that the logic board of my MacBook Pro was faulty (despite being brand new).
I took it to the Apple Store, presented the problem, and one of the Tech's came to the same conclusion that I had -- hardware failure. Phone support was no help in the matter (and even told me that what I was trying to do wasn't a supported option, which is rediculous). However, the Genius Bar did take care of the problem, and my MacBook Pro was back to me with a replaced logic board within a few days.
Hope that htis helps.

Repeated successful flash 11 download, still not working

Hello,
I have spent the last couple of weeks trying to download the new flash player version (11.5.502.110 - I have IE9 on Windows 7 computer).
I have lost track of how many times I have downloaded this - every time, it downloads successfully (and I get the congratulations, your download was successful message). Every time, I test the download by clicking straight onto a flash-using page, where everything works, and then go to the Adobe page that tests which version you have installed, where it tells me I have the correct version installed.
However, once I close my browser/computer down, the next time I use the internet and visit flash-using sites, I am told I don't have the latest version installed. If I go to the Adobe page that tests which version you have, I see the blank box telling me I don't have flash player installed. In the Control Panel, under Programs, Flash player 11 appears in the list as an option to uninstall, and it also appears as Enabled in my Internet Options Add-On manager, but I cannot find any 'flash player' files/folders saved in my hard drive.
I have tried all the options on the Adobe help page for installation issues, I have uninstalled and installed numerous times, and I have trawled through the help forum, to no avail.
I would appreciate if someone could please help me with this..
Thank you!

Hello,
My apologies for not replying sooner - I have been on holidays.
Thank you for the ideas...unfortunately, I still have had no luck. I checked the contents of the flash folder before and after installation and upon restart, and all files were the same. I also created a new temp user account and it was the same story - once I logged in on the other account, flash player was not recognised in IE, even though I had just installed it on my own user account and it had been succesful and recognised etc.
So I have no idea what the problem is - I'm not really tech-savvy, and I've tried all the basic things I know, with no luck. I'm not a huge flash user, so I can get by without it most of the time. The only major inconvenience for me is using up my download credit every time I have to reinstall it when I DO want to use it!
I've been reading through other posts on the forum, and it seems a lot of others are having similar issues with this version player - I hope that Adobe can figure out a solution for us all soon
Thanks for trying to help, I appreciate the responses.

Itunes not recognising my ipod and windows asks me to format

Itunes is not recognising my Ipod when I connect to my PC. I've been using it for 8 years so this is out of the blue. I get this flashing up:
"Microsoft Windows
You need to format the disc in Drive N before you can use it. Do you want to format it?"
Bottom right of my screen
Safely remove hardware and eject media gives me the option to "Eject Apple iPod USB device"
I did that and now find my iPod has wiped all my stored items and I've had to reset date etc. Is this a Windows or an Apple problem?

I'm afraid I got so frustrated with the PC crashing that I threw in the towel and ordered an iPod touch this morning after tentatively syncing my mini iPad this first, with no problems, just in case it was the PC. Iv'e changed it to wifi syncing now as a further precaution.
If I can get the Classic to work again I can at least try to sell it as a functioning model.

All downloads failing to mount and iTunes not recognising iPod!

My iBook G4 (Model No A 1055) needs alot of updates however i can't install anything. It downloads to the Desktop fine but when i go to open the attachment so i can actually install it a message comes up saing "The following disk images failed to mount" and the reason is a "corrupt image". I have tried to do this with Firefox, iTunes and Adobe and they all say the same!
I also now have issues with iTunes (7.2) which is all of a sudden not recognising my iPod shuffle (2nd gen). It doesn't come up in devices or anything when plugged in my iPod shuffle will just flash orange a few times and then nothing. I have tried to connect it to another (and much newer) Mac computer however it doesn't recognise it on there either.
Has technology just got so good my lappy is basically extinct and i need a new one or is there something i / Apple can do to help get me up to date with everything? Any help and feedback would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Louise

if you are running OS 10.3, it's pretty much obsolete
you can try getting OS 10.5 installed, but it can slow down the computer, 10.4 is not much use anymore either.

My ipod Shuffle Gen 2 is not recognised by itunes AND computer...!!

Hi my ipod shuffle 2nd gen is not being recognised by my computer. I have installed the new itunes and it does not recognise it either.
However it does a little flash thing with the lights when i ccnnect it, but then they turn off. I know that this means it needs restoring. But how can i restore it if the computer doesnt recognise it??
thanks!

I'm also having the same problem with my 2nd gen iPod Shuffle. iTunes on my Mac does not recognize it and will not sync with it. Occasionally, iTunes will recognize it but then when I try to sync it, iTunes then does not recognize it.
Interestingly, when I hook this Shuffle up to iTunes on my Windows machine, it does recognize it and will sync up.
What might be the problem here and how can it be corrected? If anyone has any thoughts/solutions, please let us know.
Thanks...
