Flash Player 10.3 is not recognized in Mac OS X 10.5.8 no matter what i do

OK,
I have uninstalled, re-installed. I have java restored my defaults. I have tried a lower version (10.1). This is ridiculous and beyond frustrating. I am not a savvy computer guy but I know that I am missing something! I have searched every forum for a solution and I am at my end.
HELP!
I don't know why this happened, when it happened, but i cam down to use my Mac and I could not watch you tube, etc....
I have searched my hard drive, listed the plug ins in the "help" menu. It doesn't show up. PERIOD.
I did the Adobe "test" and it says i am missing the "plug-in" but when I click on that it just sends me to the download screen and I select the exact same thing.
Oh yeah i even unclicked that "rosetta" box. NOTHING!
So who wants to give me the solution PLEASE!!!???
Is this an Adobe issue?
Is this a Mac issue?
I have NEVER had a problem with my mac the entire time I have had it.....why now?
Thank you so very much whomever replies!

I have exactly the same problem with Flash Player 10.3 on my iMac Snow Leopard. This is really annoying. Can anyone advise?

    Where are you trying to get Flash Player from? Downloading is different from installing but many malicious websites offer to supply Flash Player as a means of installing malicious software and gathering personal information (e.g., passwords). You should get Adobe Flash only from Adobe and this link lets you download the full installer (Mac OS X (Intel) DMG) and run it locally. At that point OS X will ask for your password and if you've been using it successfully for other purposes (e.g., changing some items in System Preferences), it should work there too. Note that once Flash Player is installed, a Preference panel is installed too, and in it you can authorize Adobe to update Flash automatically.

  • I installed Flash Player but web content not recognizing it.

    I am running FireFox and a web site required Adobe Flash Player to view a video clip.  I downloaded the latest version and installed it, but the website still does not recognizes it.  I'm not sure what to do next.  Help please.
    Thanks!

    I think I am confused.  The web site said I need Adobe Flash Player.  You mention Shockwave and Flash.  I know there is a program called Shockwave Flash, so is the Shockwave and Flash any way associated to Shockwave Flash?  The names are very confusing to me.
    I have Shockwave Flash disabled since the website said I needed Adobe Flash.  I downloaded and installed the latest Adobe Flash Player, but it is not coming up in the possible add-ons for Firefox.
    Do I need to uninstall Adobe Flash Player and then activate Shockwave Flash and then reinstall Adobe Flash Player?  Is there a sequence to this?
    Also, how does this Shockwave for Director come into play, since it says it’s for Netscape?
    Thanks for your help making sense of these names!

    It was a beautiful answer but it didnt work for my IE 11 with windows 7 on my desktop HP Pavilion d4650e. It appeared to install after download but would not appear in the all programs line up when hitting start button. It just appeared in control panel. This was when I was having problems running something in shutterfly. Then a week later I was trying to use a usage program from my electric company and no go. BUT, I was able to use Chrome and get flash player to work. ?????????????
    It's NOT a program. It's a "plug-in" for your browser. In essence, a "piece" of another program.
    If you want to find it, go to C/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash and C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash.
    You'll see the plug-in files there. There is a "standalone" Flash Player (Flash Player 12 Projector) which IS a program, but unless you specifically and manually add it to your start menu, it won't appear there either.
    Your problems with IE11 are just that; problems with IE11.
    Specifically, "User-Agent Strings"
    That may or may not 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 they'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.

  • I can't install flash player because it does not recognise my password -which I already changed and verified. What do I do?

    I have already changed my password going to the log in option but when installing it, adobe does not recognize my new password -nor my apple id password when I try to change the password directly from the install dialogue. What do i do? is there any problem with installing it in MacBooks?

    Hi paulac45940277,
    This is the OS, not Flash Player, prompting for the password.  The password being requested is the one you use to log into your system, not your Adobe ID passwrod.  Please see What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player? for more information, including links to Apple KB articles if you are having difficulty resetting your password.

    I solved my problem by installing the Flash Player from home.

  • FLASH PLAYER 10.1 does not work on my 32bit browser

    the newest  version  of  FLASH PLAYER 10.1 would  not  work  on  my  32bit  FIREFOX browser.  so  I  installed  flash  player  on  a  32bit  VERSION of  internet  explorer. it worked fine for a few days till ADOBE asked me if i wanted to update  my  player.      NOW IT DOES NOT WORK  ! ! !      NOW  IT  DOES  THE  SAME  "GREEN  FLASHING  BLANK  SCREEN THING"  THAT  IT  DOES  ON  MY  FIREFOX  BROWSER  ! ! !    WHAT GIVES ? ! ? ! ? !

    Hello I have a Dell inspiron 6400 computer with window's home vista and with the latest standard Internet explorer. i was enjoying the fact that i could watch Youtube and other such sites until i was prompt to downlaod the latest version (10.1) flash player. which like anyone else I did, but not the mcfee anti virious as it would be inconflicsion with Norton anti virious.

  • Is there any timeline soon that apple users will be able to open things that need adobe flash player?  I can not even play any games on Facebook, I can't open certain files, pictures sent to me or things like forms I news to see when I am not home

    I am so frustrated about Adobe Flash player. I can not play any Facebook games, open certain files and pictures and documents that I need to access because not only does this phone not do it but my old Palm Pre couldn't do it either. I have had so many times where I needed to access things either online or via email, or message that I can not even look at because of this. I have to wait until I for home or ask someone else to do it for me which is embarrassing. I rave about my iPhone 4S all the time because it is truly great except for this. When it use to happen with my Pal Pre I figures once I got my iPhone that it wouldn't happen anymore but I guess I was completely wrong. I have had this problem for years and always get a message saying that it's being worked on. Well a couple of years is a long time to work on it. I understand about contracts and stuff but why is it taking a company such as Apple to be able to get it for their products? I get a lot and always want to play the games on Facebook but I can't do it on most of them at least the ones I have tried. So I can not play against anyone at that time I have to wait until I get home or use someone else's computer or something. Please tell me that in the extremely near future that this will not be a problem anymore. PLEASE!!  I am sure I am not the only one out there who is having issues and if you do get it available please let there be an upload/upgrade for current phones and not just for future versions of Apple phones. That just wouldnt be very fair to all of your loyal customers and tell everyone to get your products because they are great and end up leaving this little problem out until they by your phone.  Especially if they just got the phone they have. You guys are awesome with technology I have faith that you can make this available to all Apple products old and new by uploads or upgrades. Thank you hopefully can give me some info about the status with this or if there wen is one. I would have thought that being a company such as you are that it would already be taking care of right from the beginning and not wait years to take care of somewhat that is very important ro have especially when there is so much our there using Adobe Flash now. I am not sure if this is just a blog with customers or if the company actually sees these posts but I am just hoping company or not that someone knows something about this. Thank you for your time and for reading this entire post if you have even gotten this far.

    Oh no... NOT THE 99-PAGER!!! Anything but THAT!!!

  • After updating, install error "Install Flash Player.exe - Entry point not found"

    My current version of Flash Player is: 11.1.102.55. Then after an Update is performed and the download is downloaded, then it tries to install the download and an error message occurs. The error message says - Install Flash Player.exe - Entry point not found - then it says The procedure entry point  SetDllDirectoryW could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNAL32.dll.
    When I try to uninstall Flash Player I get the same error message above except that it says Uninstall_Flash_Player.exe instead of Install Flash Player.exe.
    I'm running WIN2000, my current version of Flash Player is 11.1.102.55 and I’m running Firefox version 12.0.

    I believe 10.1.102.64 was the last supported version of Flash Player for Win2k.  That being said, there have been numerous users that have been able to work around the error you are receiving.  Please see this post for details:

    adobe flash player and youtube are not working

    It seems that going to Preferences>Security> Check allow plug ins, then manage sites, and then allowing one site allows all??? Seems like a lot to go through.  I have installed the player 4 times now and just got it figured out!

    Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.

  • Flash Player 10.2 will not install - not same problem as Audrey below.

    Hi,
    Using Win 7 home deluxe, was using Flash player no problem until the office had me uninstall it to fix another problem but now will not reinstall, keeps insisting on installing Mc Afee alongside it and then Mc Afee won't install correctly and won't allow Flash Player to install either.
    Have repeatedly uninstalled the full Adobe free software suite, and Mc Afee and started from the beginning have tried using the 32 bit IE instead of thr 64 bit, when the window comes up showing the registration it only shows the Quit button will not let me use the Agree or Install button and again and again it keeps installing Mc Afee without being asked, I don't use or need Mc Afee as have Nortons.   I have also been turning off the norton antivrus while doing the installation as i know that can interfere with it.
    been trying this on and off for some days now, multiple times, and I do need to get this fixed I would appreciate some advice thanks

    Yes Friend and I posted a message of thanks also which I'm very pleased to send to you personally, the missing link was that little check box you mentioned, I had done the install or tried to many times but never seen that small box so that was the problem.
    Very grateful  - thanks very much for your time and patience !!

  • [TECHNOTE ANNOUNCE]  Error installing Flash Player "The download did not pass the integrity check (16236.304.443)

    All,
    I've published a new technote for folks who are having trouble with the Adobe Download Manager and Flash Player.
    Error installing Flash Player "The download did not pass the integrity check (16236.304.443)
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/512/cpsid_51258.html
    Essentially this technote links to the Windows troubleshooting technote here:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_19166
    However, before today the Windows troubleshooting technote only had an EXE install for the ActiveX version of Flash Player 10.  I have now added a link to download the EXE version of the Flash Player Plugin installer as well.
    Please point other users with integrity check errors to the first technote.

    Thank you for the update & Tech Note Announcement. I do have a couple of questions, if you could please respond.
    After uninstalling and ready to download; reading from the link you provided on 9/4/09, Should we follow the normal download instructions
    per #2. "Flash  Player download Center" and if a successful installation is not accomplished, THEN, go to "download and unzip install_Flash_Player_10_Plugin (all other windows browsers) ? Or should the latter step be done in lieu of #2 mentioned. I am assuming the download from F.P. D.L. Center would be done first and then troubleshoot by running the EXE. version of the F.P. Plugin installer.
    Experience has taught me not to assume much, and if you don't know, ask!
    Thanks for your hard work, but you have to admit, for the technically deprived, it is frustrating and confusing.
