Flash Player 10.1 not working for Mac

I recently downloaded the new flash player 10.1 for my mac and also have updated to the latest safari browser but every time i try and watch any videos or play flash games it doesn't work and i'm told to download the latest flash player. I've tried uninstalling the reinstalling and enabling the flash plugin but nothing is working. After it says that it has installed successfully which i do when all the browsers are shut and i restart the computer it doesn't work. Not sure if i've done something wrong, but this is driving me up the wall!!!! Can anyone please help me??

Hi, Sometimes the update of the Safari browser disables the Shockwave Flash plugin. Look into the HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ directory and see if you have: Make sure it is Enabled.
Flash Player.plugin
Hope that helps,

Flash Player Installed and not working for Snow Leopard

I recently installed Snow Leopard a couple days ago and everything seemed fine, but now tonight the flash player doesn't work. I use flash player for my homework for my Philosophy class and all of a sudden it doesn't work, I don't get it. I've installed, re-installed, updated, etc adobe flash player and my mac and nothings worked, I don't know whats going on. Please help.

Sorry, I know nothing about Mac OS; all I can do is point you to the troubleshooting page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html

Flash Player 10 does not work in IE or Firefox. What could it conflict with?

I'm using Firefox 3.6.8 (and sometimes IE 8.0.6001.18702IC) on Windows XP Pro, SP 3.
For some weeks now, I have been unable to hear any sounds on anything Flash-based, from YouTube to games at MSN.com or embedded videos on any site using Flash. Initially I had assumed it to be because of having QuickTime installed because I know QT likes to hijack everything. I uninstalled QT (and Real Player) and Flash Player then reinstalled Flash Player (and Shockwave Player just in case) and guess what?
Yup. Nothing. When I uninstalled everything, I used a program called Revo Uninstaller, which includes a registry cleaning option. I then used Abexo and WinASO's registry cleaners to make sure I got everything else that even looked like QuickTime off my hard drive.
When I reinstalled Flash, the following programs appeared in C:\Windows\system 32\Macromed\Flash:
Flash 10i.ocx (10.1.82.76)
FlashUtil10i_ActiveX (10.1.82.76)
FlashUntil10i_Plugin (10.1.82.76)
genuinst (6.0.2800.1531)
FlashUtil10i_ActiveX.dll (10.1.82.76)
NPSWF32.dll (10.1.82.76)
KB931433
FlashInstall
Install
Flashplayer.xpt
When I check IE's "Tools" and look for add-ons, it says that Flash (Shockwave Flash) is enabled. I even enabled the other Adobe add-ons for Acrobat and such just to be sure. Firefox shows Shockwave Flash and Shockwave for Director both to be enabled. The Flash control panel settings don't help: I have all sites set to store about 100 KB on my computer to make sure there's enough room for everything but still nothing.
Before anyone asks, my audio drivers are up to date, thanks to the manufacturer's website. I have DirectX 9.0c installed and everything else works fine. I can play audio and video elsewhere with no problems. It's only Flash that's showing me this trouble and there's no hint as to what else could be interfering with Flash.
Any ideas?

Well, great. I tried the uninstall/reinstall before, but not with the uninstaller, so I was hopeful that this time might do it. No such luck. The video still plays, but no sound.
All the sound settings are working with everything else from games to media players. I set Windows' firewall to allow both the ActiveX and plugin for Flash, just in case.
In the Flash folder, I now have:
Flash10l.ocx (10.1.102.64)
Flash Util10l_ActiveX (10.1.102.64)
FlashUtil10l_Plugin (10.1.102.64)
Genuinst (6.0.2800.1531)
FlashUtil10l_ActiveX.dll (10.1.102.64)
NPSWF32.dll (10.1.102.64)
And the setup and text files that went with 'em.
I've also done a system restart since then and zip.
I went through IE and Firefox and looked for any file associations (like .flv) that I could manually change over to using Flash, but no go. The settings panels for Flash have all been set to allow YouTube specifically (as a test) and to allow 10KB of storage space for all affected sites.
Now what? I'm really not looking forward to a reformat and reinstall, but it's looking like that's what it's going to take.

Something is strange with your list of modules; you list FlashUntil10i_Plugin (10.1.102.64), but this is really 10.1.85.3
I recommend that you uninstall Flash Player completely (using http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html), then restart Windows, and delete all remaining files in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash.
Next reinstall both ActiveX (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe) and the plugin (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe).
After that, if the problem persists, have a look at this page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83739.html

Best,

you cannot use your pc license to install on a mac. you would need a separate license (and serial number) for that.
adobe allows platform swaps, but only with the latest (xi) version, Order product | Platform, language swap
your option to use acrobat on a mac are to upgrade to acrobat pro xi and change platforms, use a windows emulator (parallels/boot camp etc) on your mac or swap with a third party.

apple id not work for mac app store, what happen? It is available for others such as iTunes, my iPhone and iPad

Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store..
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store. See if that made a difference.

Flash player (eg YouTube) not working in Safari

Hi,
I've read previous posts on this issue, including the replies to "You Tube not working ONLY in Safari", posted Feb 24th.
My macbook pro - Safari Version, 5.0.3 (5533.19.4, )- is working fine, but for some reason my iMac Safari, with same software and settings has decided not to play Adobe Flash Player.
I have uninstalled Flash player and reinstalled many times
I have deleted cookies as per Carolyn Samit's suggestion using renmoval tool at http://machacks.tv/2009/01/27/flushapp-flash-cookie-removal-tool-for-os-x/
I have emptied Safari cache several times
I have done a permissions repair
I have restarted the iMac many times
I have even tried loading an older version of flash player plugin
I have turned off the extensions tab in Safari preferences
I have unhid the develop Menu, and selected another User Agent with no success.
Still, evey time I load a page with flash content I get the message:
*Please install the latest version of the free Adobe Flash Player. Download now.*
*For help with Flash, see Adobe's Flash Player Support page.*
I've dowloaded the latest version of Flash player three times, but stiil no resolution.
*Any other suggestions would be gratefully received.*

it goes to this blank page...
ok, no plugins are working -
Check firstly that the plugin files exist - paste this into safari's address bar & press enter
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
look in that folder - there should be several .plugin files, including Flash, usually.
If that checks out - test Safari in a a New User Account & depending on the result, we'll know whether to look for a system-wide reason, or (perhaps more likely) something in your usual user account.
If a new account behaves normally by showing a result in Safari-Help-Installed Plug-Ins,then switch back to the regular user, and start by quitting Safari & moving this file to the desktop
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
then try it again.

About in tears from new adobe flash player 10.3 not working

After installing the new Adobe Flash 10.2.153.1 on my Windows7 64 bit computer, it can not be found when using my IE8 (does not show 32 or 64 bit only 256-bit).
I have uninstalled using your reference on "please read: when asking Flash Player questions" and then reinstalled. It is on the programs list as installed but when I go to a site that needs me to use Adobe Flash it says I need it install it. Whn I go to the adobe web site to verify that I have installed Adobe Flash it only has a box with a small red x in the corner.
I have updated my devices drivers. I do not completely understand what a "kill-bit" is; however, I have gone into my registry and there is no registry keys that have {d27....etc}. There are many other numbers and most have a compatibilty flag of 0x00000400. So I must not have a "kill-bit" for Flash Player set. Not sure what that means.
Can you help me? And have I given you enough info?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

FYI - have uninstalled adobe flash player since we last replied should I try to install again?
I have checked this too and
*Shockwave Flash Object installed and Enabled. version 11.5.7.
* Yes at medium now (was at med high)
* have mcafee but just installed tonight your recommended microsoft security essentals (did a quick scan tonight)
* C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash - FlashInstall (txt file) and Install (txt file)
* No error messages - was told it was installed successfully
thanks!

Flash Player installed but not working properly

I have Windows 7 64 bit, and run IE11.
I have Adobe Flash Player installed.
It works fine on my login (administrator) but my young Son can not watch video's, as it says Flash Player is not installed.
How do I fix this please?

Flash Player has updated to 11.87.800.175 today; is it working better?
If not, what means "not working properly"?

In manage add-ons, it shows Shock wave as enabled but Flash Player still does not work.

Flash player in cam to cam for mac suddenly stopped working

After using flash player on a macbook pro to video conference with my office, using both built in isight camera and external logitech hi-def cam it stopped working! It asks if I want to allow Adobe flash player to access my camera, I answer yes but there is no video capture and the cameras are not recognized. This all worked perfectly last week!
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

No it's just mine that's not working. That's what I need help with. I think I need to reword my question.

Flash Player 10 does not work on certain websites

Hi,
Just installed Falsh Player 10 onto my imac G5 (mac os x tiger 10.4.9, power g5). It works fine for you tube and plays certain flash content but, when accessing channel 4OD, E4 and ITV player it does play the videos. Also when i try to adjust the flash setings by 'ctrl click' it does not allow me to access any of the tabs or uncheck the options.
Am completely baffled as to why this is happenning especially when i have checked several times to see if the player is installed properly, which it is.
Be absolutely grateful if anyone can tell me what the problem is.
(have also checked my mozilla preferences and they don't seem to be relevant in solving the problem)
Thanks,
Kai

Some websites claim that they required Flash Player, when in fact they mean Shockwave Player. Try installing Shockwave Player, and see if this fixes the problem.
As for the Flash Player Settings; on Windows this can usually be cured by deleting the folders where these settings are stored. Unfortunately I don't know where that is on a Mac, but possibly you can find this information in http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html

Adobe Flash Player installer is not working.

Adobe installer is giving me a dark window with nothing else. Activity Monitor Shows the installer, But nothing is going on. According to terminal, the installer starts, and log out one second later. I checked the Adobe community's help site, and Apple's one also. It seems everyone has the same problem, And is not only Mac OS, but window's also.
For me it started with 10.10, never before, have seen the message that ''You have to update the Flash Player''. Now most of the Youtube, News sites, and movie sites are not working.
I followed all the recommendations in support communities, with well wished suggestions. But no solution has worked. Even used the Adobe suggestion to do a clean install.
And yes! I tried using HTML5, and others, but the sites that I like, won't work. I know is a blessing to forget about Flash, but...
Anybody knows what's going on? Any idea please?
Mac Pro, OS 10.10.1, Safari version 8.

You've DL'd the installer from that page and when the dmg opens and you double-click the Install Adobe Flash Player.app it doesn't show this?
If it does, you have to click the box indicating you've read the terms before the Install button activates.

I am trying to update Flash player but is not working...

Why the Lates version of Flash player is not working on my computer? I am unable to watch online videos, and have constant massage on YouTube to get the latest version of Flash Player (which I have).

This forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to Adobe Flash in any way. I suggest you post Adobe related questions on their own forums for their Mac products.

Flash Player installed but not working....

had a virus 3 days ago which was resolved with assistance from Microsoft. Now Adobe Flash does not work (when I go to Youtube, it says I do not have the latest version. I have unistalled, restarted, installed at least 10 times. Sites still say I need the latest version. I do see Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X in the programs in my control panel. I have downloaded version 10.1.102.64. I am running IE8 (i assume 32-bit since it does not say 64-bit) on Windows Vista. I have checked the files in my windows/system32/macromed/flash folder and it show the following files:
Flash Player Trust folder
Flash10I.ocx
FlashInstall
FlashUtil10I_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil10I_ActiveX
install
I had turned off my Norton AV and firewall. I have also made sure that all security has been set to medium at that java scripting shows as enabled...
Flash player still does does not work: says I need to install latest version on websites (youtube etc.)
HELP!!

Hi, I see you've been on quite a few forums advocating Firefox & Chrome. All this does is give them a browser that perhaps Flash Player would be performing as it should. But it doesn't solve their issue with IE.
And referring users to follow procedures meant for another user under different circumstances and computer configurations
is not in their best interest.
All you are doing is confusing the person, since the required information about their computer has not been obtained.
You may want to rethink posting referrals, I could do that myself, since I'm on a lot of threads here.
