Flash Player doesn't run after installation

I have recently purchased a new iMac, and have just installed the latest Flash Player. According to the dialog box, the player was successfully installed.
However, I still cannot view pages requiring Flash Player - for example, http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/switch.edu.html - as it says I need to download Flash Player. I have confirmed that Javascript is enabled, yet I still cannot view the page. I tried reinstalling Flash Player but to no avail.

macbook air adobe flash player doesn't work after installation

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. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 7. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or reboot before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 6
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 7
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 8
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

Flash Player doesn't work after update

I'm using windows 7 with Firefox browser. I installed an update and now Flash Player doesn't work.
I've tried re-installing but it still doesn't work.
Can you help please.

Please ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player

Flash Player will not run after a "successful" installation.

Over the past couple of weeks, when attempting to play a video or display a picture, I have responded to the prompt that I require the newest version of Flashplayer and have clicked to follow the link. I have done this and installed at least 10 times, the last time being a few minutes ago. Each time I get the message that the installation was successful and that I am currently running the latest version (11.6 something), but I still get the prompt saying I need a newer version when trying to play the video or display the picture. On your help page where my version or an error message is supposed to display in a box to assisst with trouble shooting, the box remains blank. On some occasions I have even gone into Control Panel, Program and Features, and have uninstalled Flash Player before reinstalling it. I have aslo tried disabling my virus protection (Norten) although on the times I haven't I have checked in Norton and it says it has allowed the installation. Nothing makes no difference. I have gone through a lot of your trouble shooting help suggestions but have found nothing that works. I have (and have confirmed I have according to the on-line help directions) Windows 7, 64 bit, and Internet Explorer Version 9, 64 bit. Each time I have downloaded the 64-bit version of Flash player. Something I have noticed but can't figure out is that when I go into Control Panel, on the first screen ("Adjust your computer settings") there is a Flash Player (32-bit) heading. After an uninstall this disappears but reappears after installion even though I have definitely chosen the 64 bit download. I hope you can help me figure out what is going on.

Flash Player doesn't work after upgrade

I have Windows 7 Home Premium and I'm using IE 11. I have tried uninstalling/installing, deleting all files mentioned in multiple posts, used Firefox in attempt to install--all leave me at step 1. At best, the files appears to download and install correctly, but when I try to use it on multiple sites (Facebook games, YouTube, etc.), they all state that I need to install the latest version of Flash Player, which I just did. I tried the usual restart/shutdown/etc., all at periods as noted in posts. I have tried to download older versions of Flash Player, and I'm having the same issues. All Windows items are updated. I do not have any virus software running, and I have never had any problems with the updates in the past. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Download this file: deepclean.zip
Unzip it.
Double click the deepclean_set.bat file. A command prompt window will open, and when the Disk Cleanup opens, check EVERY box in the list and click OK.
Double click the deepclean_run.bat file. The command prompt will open again and the Disk Cleanup will run, cleaning system cache files and other unnecessary items that may be responsible for your issue.
It may take a while to fully clean up your Hard drive.
DON'T close the command prompt window. It'll close when the cleanup finishes.
Afterward, download the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller and installers directly by right clicking the following links and selecting "Save target as" (IE) or "save Link as" (Firefox).
Flash Player Uninstaller
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Save the files to your Downloads folder - DO NOT RUN anything yet.
Reboot your system.
BEFORE opening anything, go to your Downloads folder and run the UNINSTALLER, then the ActiveX installer, and lastly the (other browsers) installer.

Mac Book Air 13 (october 2013) under Maverick /Flash Player 11 not active after installation

I live in France and installed Flash Player 11 (last update) on my brand new Book Air. Several times. Installation apparently succeeds, but it seems that nothing is effectively installed (I checked on the Adobe help site which confirms that). Indeed, I have nothing active and cant't hear audios, read graphics.... on web sites. I have messages saying " module manquant" (missing plug).
I have checked Safari which correctly admits java and other plugs (security).
Would my Book air be too weak for Flash Player (I have Intel 1,3 Mgz Core I5 processor). Would an older version of Player then help under Maverick ?
Thank you !

How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X

Flash player doesn't run in user accounts

I updated to Flash Player 12 and it runs when I am in the "Owner" account on my computer. However, it does not run when I am in a user account and it will not update directly from a user account (get "Do not have sufficient privileges" message). Is there something simple I should know to get it to run in all accounts? Using Windows Vista/IE9.

Mike,
Thanks for your reply. I know this is probably pretty dumb, but could you tell me where the Flash Player "is" in order to do the Run as Administrator? When I am in a user account, it does not come up when I look at All Programs through the Start button. However, it is listed if I go through Control Panel/Programs and Features, although the Size column is blank. Does that mean it was not installed? I have the same situation (ie, it is not listed in All Programs) in the "Owner" account although the Flash Player does run fine there.
I appreciate your time & help.
Steve

After update flash player doesn't work most of the time

Hi Folks!
Windows XP
IE 6
About 2 weeks ago I installed a flash player security update and ever since then flash player doesn't work most of the time. On most websites with embeded video all I see is an empty placeholder where the video is supposed to be.
If I go to a site like Youtube all is fine. However, if I go to a site that has embeded a Youtube video all I see is the empty placeholder where the video is supposed to be.
Some folks have recommended I uninstall and download and reinstall. The problem with this is that there isn't *anything* related to Abobe flash player in Add/Remove programs.
Not sure what to do about this (read: I'm totally lost!).
Here's a screencap of the empty placeholder:

The standard warranty is for 12 months from the date of purchase, unless you bough AppleCare which would have extended it to 2 years.
If it's out of warranty, then you pay for repairs, and it's expensive. There are 3rd party repairers who are cheaper.
Did you try these?
The Five Rs.
As the previous poster said, it's more than likely a hardware issue, but there's no harm in trying the software fixes before you decide it needs repair.

Adobe Flash Player 11 NOT working after several attempts to download, uninstall, & reinstall

I have problems with Adobe Flash Player 11 NOT working after several attempts to download, then uninstall, & re-install.
I uninstalled the previous versions of Adobe Flash Player from my computer PRIOR to attempting to install the new 11 version, so now I'm unable to view videos, etc.,
I'm using Windows Vista 32 bit, Internet Explorer 9.0 (which I closed when I got error messages during Adobe Flash Player 11 Installation. I've disabled my AVG -Virus also during the installation of Flash Player 11.
FYI, I'm not computer savvy so the YouTube video by Adobe Tech was too complicated to follow AND I'm unable to view (DUH!) it since I have no Flash Player program installed (doesn't make sense!) .
Thanks for keeping it simple (KISS for me).

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling some 30 times now ..rebooting, you name it.
I haven't been able to use flash since Adobe kindly shoved that latest update down my computer's throat.
Right after getting the 'successful' installation message I restart IE9 ..go to my channel on youtube and immediately get the message:
The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback.
Get the latest Flash Player
I tried Chrome and on two or three it worked but then even after closing out of them ..Chrome slowed down to a crawl and finally informed me that Flash had stopped working.
This has entirely wasted 3 nights of my time. It is 2:30 am and I should have had at least 2hours sleep already to rise at 6:30 but no, thanks this I'm still up and no doubt millions of other computer users are having just as much fun.. Everyone I know that allowed the updates to install ..is having the same problem ..Chrome/IE9/Firefox ...you can truly call it Adobe's Universal Cluster ...
I live with Adobe. At work we have 6 fully Adobied LR4/CS5 & 6/InDesign workstations. I'm a photographer using nothing but Adobe products and quite frankly I feel this is the worst treatment you have ever given your customers.
Please stop the CYA and just fix the damm thing! I realize you didn't write it Chris but surely you can get Adobe management to address this instead of just trying to get their users to try and debug it for the airheads that released it. Has anyone stopped to consider the financial damage being done due to videos not playing the ads that support the sites and no doubt stream revenue to Adobe? These guys have rolled the online experience back 5 years minimum and Adobe will probably pay the price for it. Re-issue a working version and go back to the drawing board!

Unable To Install Flash Player 10 or Run Subinacl

1) had Flash Player 9 installed from the installer from my
desktop, couldn't download the executable 2) can't download and
install flash 10 executable so downloaded version 10 installer 3)
won't install, get msg failed to install and refers me to TN_19116.
4) of course I had to de-install version 9 to install 10 and now if
I try to reinstall 9 it tells me there's a later version and won't
install it 5) I also now constantly get active x failed to install
msgs popping up on numerous websites and they keep popping even
after I close them 6) TN_19166 suggests to download subinacl from
windows as a tool to fix the registry.and that seems to be my
problem given I can't install from the installer on my desktop. I
downloaded subinacl and and installed it however when I try to run
it, it opens what appears to be the command line window for a split
second so I can't use it. Any suggestions? I'm at a loss,

Run the uninstaller from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html

Flash player will not install blank installer, full download? tool remove remnants of flash?

Windows 7 64bit, Firefox,Explorer, Chrome
For the longest time flash player will not install (updates for upgrades).
If I go to the main page I can download the 1mb file then open it up and the installer box opens but never does anything and is just black except the top bar. I can't even close it out. I have to "end task" it. I has been going on for a year or so. I usually have to find a link to the full installer version but can't find it anymore.
Is there a tool to remove all remnants of Adobe flash player?
Link to full installer version of player?
I tried uninstalling all versions but still the same problem
Thanks

The installer works for the vast majority of people. We serve up something like 1.2 billion installs every months, so a failure rate of even 0.0001 is > 100,000 people. We're not seeing that kind of traffic about this issue.
As the installer isn't dependent on Flash Player, and it doesn't leave anything around beyond a log file, it's unlikely that blowing Flash Player completely away would resolve anything, and it sounds like your efforts bear that out. There's something underneath us that's not working right. With Mac, it's usually corrupted NVRAM settings, but I'm not sure what it is on Windows. My guess is that it's related to the graphics subsystem, but it's not something that I've seen happen under lab conditions, and we'd need to debug it to get a definitive answer.
So, I have a couple suggestions in order of least to most effort:
Switch to Google Chrome.
Flash Player is a built-in component, so there's nothing separate to download or maintain. Updates happen automatically as part of the standard Chrome update process, so you never have to touch another Adobe installer if you don't want to.
Scan your hard disk for errors, run the Windows system file checker, and make sure you have the latest graphics drivers for your system
Check your hard disk for errors in Windows 7
Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
Back up all of your stuff (ideally to both a disk and an online backup service for redundancy), wipe the machine and do a fresh install of Windows
