Flash Player Doesn't Work After All My Efforts

I am trying to play a game when I get a script error. I click yes and am told that the Flash Player version is not correct or the ActiveX is active. I went through all the troubleshooting steps to no avail. Now what do I do?

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If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select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 doesn't work for all accounts

I am having a problem like others as described in this topic:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=44&catid=184&threadid =1262196&enterthread=y
Namely, Flash Player works fine for my main administrative
account, but does not work for my other accounts (I am running
Windows XP Home Edition). As suggested in the above topic, I have
tried uninstalling Flash (for all users) then re-installing it.
This did not help. The above topic also suggests that my registry
may be corrupted and referenced the following technical article for
a solution.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=fb1634cb
That article instructs you to use a Microsoft download called
SubInACL to repair the registry. However, the article specifically
states "Note: Do not run the Microsoft SubInACL tool on Windows XP
Home. This tool should only be used with Windows XP Pro". So it
will not help me since I'm running XP Home Edition.
Is there any solution to the corrupted registry problem if
you're running XP HomeEdition?

I had the same problem none of that works...
This is what I did:
Using the adm profile, go to the windows folder, find the
regedit icon, open it, then scroll all the way down until you find
the shockwave files. Right click on each and the click on
permissions, give each user persmission and do it for all the
shockwave flash floders you see, it should be about 9.
good luck.

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.

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:
http://i27.tinypic.com/2wrdttf.jpg

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.

Sound doesn't work(only in firefox). why? sound doesn't work(only in firefox). why? (adobe flash player doesn't work even thought it's installed)

What does the Adobe test page say?
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")
See also [[No sound in Firefox]] and [[Video or audio does not play]]

Flash Player doesn't work, either IE or Firefox.

Flash Player doesn't work, on either IE or Firefox. Vista 32 bit, Firefox 10.0.2, Shockwave Flash 11.1.102.62. Reloaded Firefox and Flash. I get the spinning circle, but video never starts on IE or FF. Settings manager works. I'm at a loss. Update - actually it works on most video now, except Fox Sports or ESPN, either IE of FF.

After browsing the forums a bit, it would appear that this has been an ongoing problem for more than a month and the only 'inquiry' on the part of Adobe that I can find is one gentleman consistently asking people to report through the adobe bug/crash report process
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/953796
While I'm certain there have been many, many reports offered up, we have yet to see any solutions from the company, and admissions that there are issues with this product, or any ETA on expecting a reliable, stable version of Flash.
It would be very nice to have some feedback formally from the company. Many users (including myself) are experiencing frequent BSOD, having to spend hours uninstalling, reinstalling and aimlessly troubleshooting our computers all because of this add-in.
I recently updated every single hardware driver from my manufacturer, flashed my BIOS, troubleshot memory through self-diagnostics for days, and i still have issues related to Flash. I've tried the quick fixes suggested by (not sure if he's an Adobe official voice) user 'Chris' to no avail.
Certainly I could offer my dump file, by what good will that do me? Adobe, you certainly have enough crash reports to make SOME progress, please offer us up something, even if it's just to update us on any progress or research? All we know is you want information from us, while we still have nothing from you

Re: What can I do if Flash player isn't working at all? Does Flash player work on Macs?

March 1 2015
I'm just gonna keep updating this as I can't really do anything else. I've found several more questions like mine with no answers. I did find one with an answer that mentions that it may be the video card acting up, so I'm gonna post a screenshot of my information.
March 1, 2015
I posted this question on the 25th, and have yet to receive an answer. Because of this crashing problem, I can't do anything on my computer outside of play solitaire, and hang around Adobe communities looking for an answer. I've found several questions like mine (Mac, firefox, flash player constantly crashing) that have no answers either, and I'm getting upset. I've been floating around Mozilla and Apple's help sections, and there's no answer there either. How do I get an answer? Or is there just no fix for this issue and Flash player doesn't work on mac anymore? Is there another program that I can use in place of Flash player? I would very much like an answer, response, or anything cause I stuck here till then. Thank you for you time.
Here's more crash reports:

What can I do if Flash Player is not working at all?
MacBook Pro 10.6.8
Firefox 36.0 no plugins
Adobe Flash Player 16.0.0.305
Hello,
Since last week, Adobe Flash Player has not worked on my computer at all. I can't watch any videos, and any webpage using Flash for the ads crashes. I tried using Adblock initially thinking that the ads were the problem because they have frozen my computer in the past. This did nothing, so I went through the trouble shooting guide for Flash on Mozilla's website. I removed all plugins, disabled hardware acceleration, and even uninstalled Firefox and Flash player then reinstalled them again. It still keeps crashing, and I don't know what to do anymore. Is there anything that can be done? Thank you for your time.

Hi Chelsea,
The USER forums are a forum for users, while Adobe staff does participate it is not our primary responsibility to participate and we post in-between our regular work. Since these are primarily user forums a time-frame for responding is not guaranteed, especially if another user is not familiar with the issue and can't be of assistance.
Please file a bug at https://bugbase.adobe.com/ and include as much information as possible, including attaching the entire contents of the crash log file. Please post the bug number here and I'll triage the bug to get it to the right folks for investigation.

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!

The latest version of Adobe Flash Player doesn't work on my Mac

The latest version of Adobe Flash Player doesn't work on my Mac?
What is the solution?

Download and install a version compatible to whatever cat flavor you have on the computer.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Maybe Flash 11 is too big and you need to stay on Flash 10.3

Flash player won't work after a successful download

About my Mac:
OS X version 10.8.4
1.3 GHz
Safari: version 6.0.5
I have installed and unistalled flash player several times, and even restarted my computer. I followed all the steps to do so correctly, but the Flash Player won't work at all. Youtube and other websites give me error messages when I try to watch a video. They say "missing plug-in".
I really can't seem to find the problem.
(For what this info is worth: I just got my computer a couple days ago)

How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X
Give that a shot.

The flash player doesn't work on my IE9

I have a windows 7 - 64 bit operating system. The flash player doesn’t work on my IE9 and it does work on Google Chrome. I have tried uninstalling the flash player and re installing the player. The download file doesn’t download when I try downloading through IE9and the file fails to initialize when I download the flash player for IE9 through google chrome. My antivirus software McAfee is not working because of the flash player and other softwares like yahoo messenger . Please help.

Assuming you've checked to make sure that Shockwave Flash is enabled in IE's addons manager and you do not have ActiveX filtering enabled, Could you check to see if you have the following Windows update installed?
KB2670838 – Platform Update for Windows 7 x64
If so, please uninstall it and try Flash Player out again.
Thanks,
Chris
