Flash Player 9 Not Running Smoothly

My problem is I have recently installed Macromedia Flash
Player 9.0.16.0 and as soon as I attempt to play a streaming video,
the Flash Player begins to pause for a few seconds before
proceeding with the video. These interruptions continue every 5-10
seconds throughout the video play.
I believe these pauses may be caused by insuffient memory
being assigned to the browser and so it has to intermittently load
more data into memory before the video can continue. I have
presumed that the video is fully loaded before Macromedia Flash
Player begins to display the picture...but maybe not.
Please advise on how I can assure that the streaming video is
fully loaded so that it will run smoothly without pausing.
I utilize Netscape, Internet Explorer or Safari to access
internet. I have tried all three browsers in attempting to run the
streaming video without interrruption and all three produce the
same jagged result.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

It might be helpful to uninstall, then reinstall Flash.
Go here to get the latest version of Flash. Before you install the new plug-in, uninstall the older one. You can do this with this Adobe Uninstaller.
When the uninstall/reinstall is complete, Safari automatically opens to the Adobe Flash page confirming the plug-in was correctly installed.
Quit Safari and "repair permissions" using Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.

FLASH PLAYER NOT RUNNING ON SECURED COMPUTER

I
believe my problem is similar to the one described here.
We are running Windows Server 2003 with thin clients that RDP
into the server. I have the latest version of Flash player
installed on the server. I have administrative priviledges and I
have no problems but for a secure user they get a message that the
website requires the latest version of flash player. We have many
websites we need to visit that have flash content and we can't. I
assume that it is related to one of two things: 1) Flash player
won't function without administrative priviledges [which would be
absolutely stupid on Adobe's part if this is the case] or 2) there
is a GPO setting preventing it from functioning. I think the latter
is the correct problem. I am not farmiliar enough with the way
Flash player operates so I need a little guidance finding the
correct GPO - any ideas anyone?

When I open Task Manager the only thing I see is "Tasks". I do not see the Processes tab. I have seen this in the past along with measures of other activity, but not anything now. I tried the Start/Search - nothing about Processes.
Once the Task Manager is running, select the Processes tab. On older Windows version you may need to click on the Process Name or Image Name header to sort the process names.
Now right-click on every process that the Flash Player installer needs to close (e.g. iexplore.exe), then select End Process.

Flash player not running in Firefox, even worse in IE

I can't seem to be able to run the Flash player. If I try to run a video on Adobe TV, I can see a normal video player with the buttons I would expect to see: Pay, Rewind, etc. But nothing happens when I press Play. I tried this same video using IE, but it looks even worse: I see nothing but a white box -- no controls at all.
I'm running Windows 7, 64-bit. I'm using the latest version of Firefox (3.6.11) and the latest version of Flash (10.1.85.3). I almost never use IE, so I don't know whether I have the latest verion or not (8.0.7600).
Suddenly and recently, I'm having an additional problem. I don't know whether it could be related or not, but just in case: I suddenly could not upload a file using Firefox. I could, however, upload the same file using IE. I've checked all my security settings in Windows, Firefox, and McAfee, but can't find anything which would block uploading.
Another bit of info just in case: Windows stealthily installed Windows Live. When I started having the upload problems, I uninstalled Windows Live.
Message was edited by: Rodieck to add additional information.

I've found the problem, and it had noting to do with Flash. All the problems were caused by me: somehow (and for some unknown reason) I had my security software set to block "Firefox Plugin Container" which was needed to run the Flash player. Unblocking this also fixed my Firefox uploading program.
Thanks for your reponse, though, helpful person whose name I cannot read :^) You started me learning more about video players, and that finally caused me to stumble across the right answer.

Flash Player not running/installing

So far, on two computers, I have had this problem.
I have no problem downloading the software, I even installed it on two computers.
However, when I go to install it on a few computers in my work environment, it will ask to run and not run. I sat for ten minutes waiting for it to run and it wouldn't. Both are XP's, sp3, 1GB, IE8.
Does anyone have any idea's?

Download offline installer: Where can I find direct downloads of Flash Player 11 for Windows or Macintosh?

Flash player not run with Safari 5.0.4

Hi Friends:
Two days ago, I installed an upgrade of Safari to 5.0.4 (6533.20.27); since this upgrade, any web page that use flash player is not working, instead of the images appears a message "module not found" and in web pages like Facebook or Youtube, if you try to run video, the system show a message "It's necessary to update flash player".
I uninstalled flash player and installed it again using the last version provided by adobe ( 10.2.152.33 ) but after that the answer is the same.
Any Ideas?

Hi friends:
I just find the problem and the solution.
The problem is not Safari 5.0.4 in fact, the problem is that (I think) we installed at the same time the safari update and the java update; the java update installed a plug-in that interfere with the other ones in safari.
you could solve the problem doing two things, one is left your java version in the near before the last one (it´s necessary to install OSX again) or move out the file JavaPluginCocoa.bundle located in HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
I prefer the first solution because I'm using SAPGui for java too and it´s not compatible with the las java version too.

How do i set up flash player to run only the audio files

How do I set up the flash player to run only audio files? Every time i set up I tunes to work,, the flash player takes over all files that it wants and I cannont see my files for work. I want it to only auto run audio files and not my GIF's, & TIFF files.

Well I had a terrible brain burp!,, I ment to say Quick Time. In my business I have to go back at times and view TIFF files. Every since I installed ITunes on my new computer... Quick Time opens the files where MS Photo Viewer used to, and I can only see page 1 in Quick Time. This is a problem for me as the only way I can view my TIFF files is to save them to my desk top and then open them in MS Photo Viewer. Then I have to delete them after viewing.. I view files several times a day and this extra step has become a very larg pain in the fanny.
Thanks

Why does flash player not work with facebook?

Why does flash player not work with fcebook? Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player. When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one. I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows. I don't know anything else.

This means you don't have the latest version installed. Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

Resolve installed Flash player not excuted for all the Vista users on my PC?

I have a Windows Vista 32-bits system.
I have created 2 admin and 2 standard users.
Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) 32 bit is installed but also Chrome and Firfox are used.
For 1 admin user Flash works fine when accessing a site in IE9 that requires Flash.
For the other users, including the admin user, IE9 must be run "as adminstrator" by specifically choosing that option.
If not run "as administrator" IE9 states that Flash needs to be installed. That either leeds to Flash player not being installed (error is that it is already installed) or that after a succesful installation the problem simply occurs again (and again and again ...)
I want the standard users on the pc to be able to navigate to trusted sites without running IE9 in "as adminstrator" mode.
What do I need to do?
Can I set Adobe Flash player to be available for all the users for Vista and IE9?
Do I need to alter registry settings manually?
If yes - how and which?
Thanks in advance.

Chris,
Thanks for the reply but unfortunately it does not resolve the problem.
Other users (including the other system administrator) still need to run IE as administrator.
When in my sysadmin account the shortcuts for other users to a URL requiring Flash and using IE9 execute fine GRRRRRRR.
This is very frustrating.
On my pc Chrome aand Modzilla have no problems.
The childrens protective software I have however is based on IE.
Do you have any more suggestions?
My alternative is to downgrade IE9 to IE8 or 7 but that is also not an easy exercise ...
Thanks in advance for any input.

Flash Player not supported on Android

If I'd known so many websites rely on Flash Player to run their content I would not have wasted my money on an Android tablet. I did not know that Adobe has withdrawn support for Android devices. I have version 4.1.1 and I've downloaded the archived Flash Player version that is available on the Adobe site, which only goes up to version 4.0 and so it makes no difference, I still cannot watch content on web sites that use Adobe Flash Player. I have made sure I have ticked allow unknown in settings but that makes no difference. Does anyone know please of a solution or are all Android tablet owners stuffed and at the mercy of having to wait months or years for web site developers to create alternatives to Flash Player for running content on Android devices?

"Why should a retailer have told me that?"
I don't know... probably the same reason a For dealer should tell you that a Focus ISN'T the ideal vehicle to pull a 26 ft cabin cruiser. We live in an age where a company can be "killed" in a day by "viral" complaints from consumers. Look at B of A and what happened when they decided to gouge people for electronic transactions in 2011. Nearly a million and a half customers dropped them in seventy two hours... over a $3.50 fee. Imagine if everyone like you, who bought a tablet with the mistaken perception that it was "ready" to run Internet video, decided to "stick it to" Samsung, or Amazon or Apple... or all three over it. I mean, a tablet costs a LOT MORE than $3.50, and you basically just wasted your money, like a fee for something everyone does anyway.
As to who fired the first shot in the war over Flash that goes all the way back to the first iPhone and Apple. THEY set the standard that mobile devices wouldn't be Flash friendly. The reason? Another thing retailers won't tell you:
Flash content is VERY processor consumptive, and as such eats batteries in mobile devices. That was Apple's number one reason for making iOS incompatible with Flash more than six years ago. The rest of the mobile industry followed suit. Adobe didn't see the sense in pursuing continued development of something that was used less and less with each passing week. Flash is a dying technology and it WILL be replaced by HTML5 video content in less than two years. As a web designer, the "mobile web" has changed about 80% of what I do. That includes no longer developing "inaccessible" Flash content for clients, even over their objections.
"I would not have known to have had a specific question such as 'does this device support Flash' why would I?"
An uninformed consumer is an easily suckered consumer, and if a retailer like, say... BestBuy, won't let you "fire up" a tablet and check it out before you buy, there's something they're hiding from you. That alone should be a red flag. On the other hand, if you just "bought the first tablet you saw advertised", then there's really no place to stick the fault, is there? I've NEVER bought ANY electronic device without researching it first, and with one exception where a retailer sold me one thing, ( a G5 iMac) advertised and described as another (a 1st generation Intel iMac), for which I received a FULL refund, I've ALWAYS known exactly what I was getting and what it would or would not do. "Caveat Emptor" as they say. I'm not saying this is your fault, but it's not liek this "snuck up" on the Android market overnight. We're talking 18 to 24 months ago.

Sir plz SOLVE THIS PROBLEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
SIR PLZ GIVE ME FEEDBACK...
-THANK YOU SO MUCH...

There is no more Flash Player for Android and there won't be another. Android is no longer compatible with Flash Player. Playing Flash content is very processor consumptive and it drains your battery, also shortening the life of it. Android (Google) recommends using either "Dolphin" or "Puffin" as your browser if you need to view Flash content with a mobile device running Android. They're both free in the GooglePlay store. These browsers use "server side" rendering to reduce the load on your device.

Flash player not showing up in start menue?

installed version 11 7 700 202 on new computer running windows 7 and internet explorer. Installations said complete, but the program does not show up in the start menue and does not activate when trying to view videos, sometimes getting the message that I do not have flashplayer plugin downloaded? On the adobe help site the find version help tool displays that "flash player is running on your system" by showing the movie of that text and a red ball. So what the heck is going on. I have restarted the computer a couple time too?

Flash Player is only a browser add-on, not an executable program, so it won't appear in the Start menu.
Regarding Internet Explorer, a couple of possibilities

Animation symbols not running smoothly in interactive pdf

I created an animated symbol on flash and placing it on the interactive pdf has been quite successful, except it does not animate as smoothly as I hoped it would.
Instead of looping a smooth animation on its own it requires the mouse to be hovered over the element area in a kind of sweeping motion in order for it to play keyframes, and sometimes with relatively smooth success and other times not. I've tried running the pdf in adobe reader in different computers and achieve the same results.
It was made for the NavCardSelected instance and the symbol itself is a relatively simple 'growing vine' animation, if that helps elaborate any more. Anyone have some kind of workaround to this?
