Flash Player and Youtube not Working but Vimeo does?

Hi guys,
We are currently deploying Windows 7 out to all Staff and Student PCs, we've had it on our IT Department's PCs for the past year and have had no issues with Flash Player and Youtube.
However, a Tutor reported that when they go to YouTube and select a video it buffers, plays a second or so and then goes to 'An Error Occurred, Please Try Again Later'.
If we disable Shockwave Flash Object it redirects to the HTML5 website and that works fine.
Software:
OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit
CPU: Various (Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel i5, Intel Xeon E5
RAM: 2-4GB DDR2, 4GB DDR3,
Browser: IE10, Mozilla Firefox v19 and v24
Adobe Flash Player ActiveX: v11.8.800.175
Adobe Flash Player Plug-in: v11.8.800.168
Diagnostics:
Tried completely uninstalling Adobe Flash Player, restarting PC, installing Adobe Flash Player
Tried Adobe Flash Player Beta
Tried disabling Hardware Acceleration
Uninstalled IE10, Tried on IE8, Same Issue
Tried removing all Computer and User Policies
Checked if it was a VLAN issue but is happening on both 10.32.x.x (student) and 10.64.x.x (staff)
Tried on IE9 same issue
Scrolling along the seek bar at the bottom shows all of the stills fine.
Enable ActiveX Filtering resolves the issue but that's just because it goes to HTML5 too.
Any help is appreciated
Andy

I am also facing similar issue. I tried literally all solutions and then finally gave up and reinstalled windows 7 after clean format,
Immediately after fresh OS installation,Youtube just worked once with flash player for hardly 3 to 5 seconds and then crashed with error "an error occured please try again later- Learn More"
Tried reloading that same youtube video which initially worked for 5 seconds,but on second try it won't load at all.Tried all the other videos as well and same result,they won't play even for one second and same error "an error occured.."
Scrolling along the seek bar of stuck youtube video shows vid's still images just fine but video won't play at all.
Tried it with firefox,IE,Chrome and same result.
Youtube works fine with Html5 player.
Until 5 days back everything was working just fine, maybe either flashplayer got updated or Youtube changed anything which is causing this problem.
I even did a clean windows 8 install on another pc and that pc is also showing same symptoms.

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.

Adobe flash player and youtube are not working

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!

For some reason, the Flash Player on my MAC Pro stopped working, I've checked the install on my Adobe Flash Player and the are current, but the plug-ins don't seem to be working. Can anyone help me get it working?

It happened w/ my MacPro 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon about 5 months ago; tried everything I could think of including multiple downloads of Flash, and hadn't seen any solutions here. Adobe insisted many times that I download & update, but the newest vers. wouldn't work on the computer.
On checking Adobe/Flash was reading the computer as being an earlier model. So the new version of Flash wouldn't work w/ it. Snow Leopard 10.6.8 was being read correctly but not the computer model (can't remember what MP model it was reading).
Nothing worked. So -- a very old PC trick: If nothing else works get the hammer out and bludgeon it-- might work. So I reset everything by putting the Snow Leopard install disk in, held down 'C' on restart and let it run.
Didn't take anything off the HDD first, just ran the install disk over everything.
The experts on the forums are probably cringing right now & I'd like very much for them to jump in. Love to know how my computer model was being mis-read. All I can say is, for the brave and desparate, it worked for me. Something to keep in mind.
It helped that I had a new computer on order & have 2 backups, one being mandatory. Might work only the one time but worth a check.
Good luck on working this one out.

Why can't i play some games on facebook? ask me for update adobe flash player and i do it but doesn't work

What version of OSX?
Most Browsers disable Flash by default.

In disk utility, below Macintosh HD I have 4 trojan "decryptedFile.dmg (flash player)" and my computer is super slow, does erasing Macintosh HD will also erase these files? If not how can I erase? (bear in mind computer so slow a click takes forever)

Thank you Thomas in fact I have seen your guide before and had gone thru the steps including repair disk which didn´t work. I am erasing disk before checking hardware. I have posted a photo of the 4 decrypted files in the disk utility and also of the adobe icons in the dock and question marks. Some people say if the adobe appears in the dock is because it is the trojan flash player and they keep jumping in the dock. If this is not malware it seems to be an incredible coincidence that when I start seeing these things in my dock and the decrypted files in my disk utility is when my computer goes so slow (I am typing this in my macbook air because to write this message in my imac would be about 6 hours, I am not kidding, it is completely useless at this point it took me 2 and half days too instal mac os x after disk repair, it took me 3 days to transfer just 100 gigabites and now is taking the whole day (and it says another day more) just to erase the disk. Despite all this the icon of adobe keeps jumping in the dock so, although I am no computer and mac expert, just an user, I am inclined to think that it is malware and it is a shame that mac doesnt´recognize it or have anything here to help me get rid of this. I am not even sure if erasing the disk will work since repairing didn´t work... all advice is welcomed.

Ihave installed the latest Adobe flash player and youtube still tells me I need to install the latest adobe flash player. what is the problem?

I have installed the latest ersion of the Adobe flash player, and youtube still says I need to install the latest version of Adobe flash player in order to see the video. What's the problem?

You can check the version under Apple Menu > System Preferences > Flash Player. Did you quit and restart Safari after the install?

Ipad screen is locked. SLIDE function will not work but screen does still rotate.

ipad screen is locked. slide function will not work but screen does rotate...

Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

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!

I have an AMD64 Dual Processor and I am trying to load a 64 bit version of Flash Player Plug-in for FireFox but it does not appear to be working. Do you have any suggestions?

I downloaded flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_plugin_111710.exe from the Adobe website and ran the .exe I opened Firefox and attempted to view some clips from msnbc.com. However, I received the following message:
To watch video in the new msnbc.com player, you will need to update your version of Adobe Flash Player.

UserAgent for the OP is - Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100405 Namoroka/3.6.3 - he might be running a 64-bit 3rd party build.

PC Freeze Using New Flash Player and Youtube/Vimeo

I just recently upgraded my flash player to the newest version. No problems with Youtube before, but now there is a major conflict. Whenever I try to load a youtube video, my computer freezes. I have about 10 seconds or so where I can move the mouse/cursor, but no input is available. And then my montior goes into sleep mode because it thinks my PC is in sleep mode. The PC fans are still running but no input is accepted. The only fix is to reboot, and then then next time it happens again.
The problem is not Youtube because I have the same problem on Vimeo. And it's not firefox, I have the same problem on IE. And Firefox is fully updated.
I've tried the usual uninstall and reinstall of flash and it didn't help.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi, thanks for the info, but now that you've reverted back to FP vs 9, there is no way to have you check files/settings etc.
I would only be guessing and that wouldn't be helpful.
Flash Player updated yesterday and you can see the versions at this site. Note that the version for Windows that use the IE browsers is different than Windows that uses the plugin browsers. Of course the Installer links will Install the appropriate version.

Flash player 10.3 not working and i've tried everything, i mean everything

Good day all. I'm using the latest firefox 5, win xp pro sp3 and flash 10.3. Now im trying to play a game on facebook and it keeps saying Please update your flash player by clicking HERE.Now i've uninstalled flash with the uninstaller and rebooted and reinstalled. I've tried installing 11.1 beta and that didn't help. I installed both same time and that didn't help. i went to the flash site to see if flash is installed and even though it was installed it kept saying install plugin so i did. Then i had shockwave player 10.3 and flash 11.1 beta. Now i've taken everything off and only got 10.3 on. Of course it still doesn't work. I tried removing that npswf32.dll file but that just tells firefox i don't have flash.
contents of C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
Flash10u.ocx
FlashInstall.log
flashplayer.xpt
FlashUtil10u_activeX.dll
FlashUtil10u_activeX.exe
FlashUtil10u_plugin.exe
NPSWF32.dll
I'm crying out in desperation here. I been battling with this for days now. I've tried googling, searching this site and honestly i'm fed up. I've spent hours and lots of bandwith trying to download updates and install files etc etc. Please is there anyone out there that can help me.

Well, thank you for your unkind comments!
This is a user forum, and people try to help when they have time and specific ideas about certain problems. Not everybody of the few regulars is available all the time.
Posting incomplete information also slows things down considerably, and posting the same problem multiple time only wastes the volunteers' time.
I will most certainly ignore you if you ever come back in need for help.
Yip then my post is definitely for people like you. Funny how your reply took a day but my problem was only sorted out 4 days later. I had over 100 views of my post in a few hours. I hardly call that a "few regulars". I think you'd be annoyed if your problem wasn't sorted out either. I think only one person replied which was helpful, the other post i did another one person replied but he was trying to be clever. Multiple posts don't waste volunteers time if noone's replying, now is it? Please think before you post next time, seriously.

Flash player 11 "incubator" not working on youtube!

Does it mean that there is an error on the flash player itself?
or does it mean that youtube has to update some params from their side?

It means that you are using beta software; please post in the appropriate beta forum.
Don't forget to give all relevant information, i.e. your operating system & version, browser & version, as well as the exact FP version you are testing. Also links to where the problem occurs, plus the exact symptoms - "not working" means nothing.
