Flash Player and iPhone

It's absurdly insane that iPhone did not include and continues to refuse support for commonly used FLASH content on web sites. When can we expect this idiosyncrasy to be corrected. For the money, I expect much more than "restricted" software. I love my iphone and Apple products. But, frankly, these kinds of continued OS peculiarities, especially one's related to the World Wide Web/Internet are enough to drive me back to Sprint. When I'm using a browser, I expect it to be able to access any website I desire, not constrained by the limitations of a brand of browser that lacks common supports! Get with the game, Apple . . . PLEASE!

Adobe said they'd do a Flash player, but would need Apple's help. So it's up to Apple.
From a developer standpoint, I'd like the Flash app player. But I can agree with your point about not wanting it to work (slowly) on a lot of current web pages.
From a consumer standpoint, I'd be very happy to have just the Flash video player to work under Safari. There are a lot of news and other sites that have Flash videos I'd like to see, without having to go back to my laptop to see them. I think this ability is what most people want.

    No. You cannot download or install anything to iphone, unless it is offered in the App Store on itunes.

  • Flash Player for iPhone 4G

    I recently got my new iphone 4g , I have heard for years about Flash player for iphone but don't see anything yet.
    Can some one tell me if Adobe is going to release flash player for iphones, may be by end of this year ?

    Hi Silver 4545, I don't know who "they" are that you refer to, but you are misstaken. Advising anyone to do anything to their iphone or any other phone that is not permitted can damage their system and void their warranty. If that happens, the owner of the iphone or any other device must pay the price, not those that choose to circumvent their system!!!
    The Adobe Flash Forum is not for you to advertise on either, just a FYI.

  • I need adobe flash player for iPhone 4s

    Please can somebody tell me how to get Adobe flash player for iPhone 4s. Thanks

    I tried yxplayer lite and yxplayer2 lite --- both did not work for my iPhone 4S.
    Puffin worked for me. I was trying to video stream a website and kept informing me I needed to install Adobe Flash Player 10 for it to work.  Once I tried Puffin, the video was able to start playing   YEAH!!!
    I am glad I found this thread and tried some of the suggestions..... otherwise I would be spending more months trying to figure it out lol.

  • Flash player on iphone

    Is it time for adobe and apple to develop a flash player for iphone?I want to browse flash player content's pages with my iphone!!!

    This was answered elsewhere. There is little chance that Apple will give plugins or Java a chance to work in iOS. So that rules out Flash, Unity, LiveCode, Shockwave, and just about any other easy to use browser playback system. So either stay with making your own apps with one of these tools, or investigate HTML5.

  • I wanted to watch a BNN video on my iphone 4, but I was told I needed Adobe Flash Player. Adobe says Apple does not allow to install Flash Player on iPhones. Any suggestions?

    See if BNN has an app in the app store or do without.
    Adobe does not make a flash player for ipod/ipad/iphone and likely never will.
    You can do a forum search and find coutless posts on this.

  • All of the greeting card websites that I belong to use flash player and Apple doesn't allow it.  Is there another way to get a greeting card site to work on a Mac?

    I recently purchased a Mac Book Pro.  I have had a PC for years.  I've discovered that Apple doesn't allow flash player and I have membership in two greeting card websites.  Now that I've already paid a yearly membership in both, I'm out of the money and I can't send cards.  Does anyone know of a program that will work with Apple?

    Flash Player works just fine on a Mac. You're confusing the issue with that of iOS devices such as the iPhone and iPad, for which Adobe never came up with a viable version of Flash. Just download and install Flash Player from Adobe:

  • Macbook pro. app tries to use flash player and get " Blocked plugin" how to uninstall and reinstall flash player. update does nothing ?

    Wife has an older MacBook Pro. when an app uses flash player "Blocked plugin" comes up. I don't know much about mac, tried to update flash player and get newer version already installed, and update and still get same message. How do I uninstall flash player and reinstall?

    Sounds like it is blocked for the website you are at. Check with this:
    You can quickly test whether a recently added plug-in is causing problems by blocking it.
    Choose Safari > Preferences, click Security, then click Website Settings next to Allow Plug-ins.
    Select the plug-in you want to disable on the far left, then click each pop-up menu on the right and choose Block.For some plug-ins, you see pop-up menus for different websites, and you can choose to block each one individually. Use the “When visiting other websites” pop-up menu to block all other websites that don’t have individual settings.

  • Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave crashing has disabled my computer

    I have downloaded a second flash player and it is still the same. Firefox has been crashing daily for a few weeks. I noticed that your adblocker plus was updated 6/4. Since then I have almost no use of firefox, because the Adobe flash player 13.0.r0 and Shockwave crash notices are constantly popping up. Could that update have something to do with why the flash players are not working? Below are an example of the crash details.
    Thanks for the help. I prefer your browser, but this has made it non-functioning.
    In trying to fix it, a window came up that asked would I like to change it back to a previous working image, which was Windows XP. Although this computer is Windows 7, I clicked the box yes, and said I wanted it to work like Windows XP. I see in your Operating System below, that it reads Windows Xp, but this computer is actually Windows 7. I can't find that menu to change unclick and change it back, so that it is working as Windows 7.

    AdBlock Plus isn't maintained or connected to Mozilla as they didn't develop it. ABP and Flash don't interfere with each other except on same cases that ABP blocks Flash content.
    You can Try disabling Hardware Acceleration. <br>
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.

    If that doesn't work try Try to disable Protected Mode in Flash 11.3 and above by adding the line ProtectedMode=0 to the Flash "mms.cfg" file located in one of these locations: [46]
    (Windows 32bit) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
    (Windows 64bit) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    For example, on a Windows 7 64-bit system, open the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, copy the file "mms.cfg" to the desktop, open it in Notepad, add a new line <code>ProtectedMode=0 </code> and then close Notepad, saving your changes. Next, go back to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, rename the original file to "mms.cfgBAK" (to save it as a backup) and then drag and drop in the modified "mms.cfg" file from the desktop. [47] [48] [49]
    Note: To re-enable Flash Protected Mode, either restore a backup of the original mms.cfg file, if you saved one, or else re-edit the mms.cfg file to remove the <code>ProtectedMode=0 l</code> line you added. Updating Flash Player or installing a newer version does not automatically re-enable Protected Mode
    Flash has been a pain since day 1 and Mozilla is currently working to replace Flash with Shumway. Unfortunately it's in the Nightly channel, doesn't come activated automatically and it isn't quite ready for normal usage. I just tested Nightly yesterday with Shumway and it wouldn't play.

  • Flash Player And adobe reader not working and downloads don't work

    I have IE 8 and windows vista and everything has worked great for 2 years until 2 or 3 weeks ago.  At that time my flash player stopped working so I could no longer get videos , streaming stock quotes, weather map loops, etc and when I go to websites that use Flash (i.e. Piaaz Hut) it wouldn't work.  Also, at that same time my adobe reader stopped working properly and I can't view mosy PDF Files.
    I have gone through many of the posts on this forum and have tried many of the fixes, but none have work for me.
    I tried to uninstall the Flash Player, but I didn't use the Adobe uninstaller.
    Whenever I try to update or load the Flash player, a dialog box with the globe tossing papers to the folder appears and then after a few seconds I get the the message that IE can't install_flash_player_ax.exe from fp download.adobe.com, and then a message that says IE was not able to open this internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found.
    In control panel programs I have listed
    Adobe AIR      no size
    Adobe Flash Player 10 active X           no size
    Adobe Reader 9.3     141mb
    Macromedia Shockwave player      no size
    In Tools i have the following add ons and they are all enabled
    Shockwave Flash object 10.0.42.34
    Adobe PDF Link Helper
    Adobe PDF Reader
    Macromedia Shockwave Active X Control 10.1
    As I said I've already attempted a number of the fixes on this forum, but so far no luck.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I might try?
    Thanks

    Ok, I tried to download the firefox browser but IE wouldn't let me download it.  My friend downloaded it from their computer to a flash drive and I loaded it to my computer from the flash drive.  The download of Firefox from the flash drive worked, and now I'm using Firefox & both my adobe flash player and my adobe reader are working just great.
    However, neither the flash player nor the reader are working if I use IE, so I guess I will just have to use Firefox as my browser.
    I'm going to mark my question as answered since I really don't care that I have to use Firefox instead of IE,although I can't understand why it works using Firefox but not using IE.
    Thank you so much for your assistance in walking me step-by-step through this problem until I was able to reach a satisfactory solution.

  • HT2506 After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer

    After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer anymore. Any ideas would be helpful thanks

    Merely clicking the Preview icon in the Dock doesn't cause it to open anything, unless you had one or more windows open the last time it quit.
    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
    1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    3. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    4. In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

  • Flash Player and Internet Explorer

    I continual get a message that I cannot view something because I need the latest flash player. I download and upgrade the flash player and it happens again the next day. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong. It has something to do with IE. I can view the items under Chrome.

    Chrome has its own Flash Player plugin and it functions independently of IE or any IE plugins.

  • On 12/23/11 I update the adobe flash player and have had problems since- unexpected closing and freezing. Remove the adobe flash player and those problems resolved. How do I go back to the earlier version of adobe?

    I was prompted by Firefox to update my adobe flash player on 12/23/11, which I did. Ever since then the web site has frozen and/or crashed. I run a internet business and can't have this continue. I uninstalled the flash player and the problems have stopped. I would like to reinstall the earlier version of adobe, since that didn't seem to impact the web site.
    This is the flash player I installed on the 23rd - Flash Player 10.3 for Mac OS X 10.4-10.5 (Intel)
