Flash Player Download times

Has anyone else encountered prohibitive flash player download
times? I've tried to dowload the player (9.0.28.0
IE/Firefox/Netscape/Opera) from Adobe's website six times in the
last three days, on an otherwise stable 5MB broadband cable
connection, on three different PC's. My current attempt ran
overnight and seems to be stalled at 96%.

Every time I try to download the flash player for the last
several months, the download times are prohibitive. You'd think
Adobe could have a robust enough hosting solution for one of the
most downloaded products on the Internet. Perhaps they've heard of
mirrors?

Downloaded Flash Player many times, still prompted to download

Every time I try to watch a video, I get a prompt to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (11.7-something). I have done this repeatedly over the past several days but still get the prompt. I already have Chrome downloaded on my computer. I tried uninstalling my Flash version, rebooting my computer and this is just getting repetitious because nothing works. I'm wasting way too much of my time just trying to get this to work. What's going on?
How can I get my computer to hold the update I've taken the time to run.
Do I have to use Chrome now, not Internet Explorer, every time I want to watch a video? I do not like to use Chrome.

Thanks for your reply. My computer says the Flash Player 11.7... is installed, so why can't I view videos when I am in Internet Explorer? How do I find out which Windows (7 or 8) I have?

Hi, Sorry to hear about the challenges that you face. Adobe Flash Player is directly integrated with Google Chrome and is enabled by default. Window 8 + Internet Explorer 10 also comes with integrated Flash Player. So you need not do any installation or updates for Google Chrome or Window 8 +IE 10 combo. But for other OS versions and browsers, you need to update (automatically or manually based on your installation setup) Flash Player. If you are facing installation issues, please refer to the following pages:http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-faq.htmlhttp://helpx.adobe.com/flash-p layer/kb/installation-problems-flash-pla yer-windows.htmlhttp://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-pla yer-mac.html Hope the above helps.

Also on the adobe help page, it shows a blank box, instead of showing the current flash player I have installed. Ive tried to download 5-6 times, and still no luck. Can someone help?

System preferences firewall is off and apps are allowed from anywhere and in Safari other plug ins are allowed and cookies are not blocked and pop up windows are not blocked. Why won't Flash Player download?

Don't DL Flash from web sites. If you have Adobe Flash installed it should be in System Preferences and you can find the latest version and download from there.
If you are installing for the first time,this is where to DL it.

I have installed Flash Player 5 times. It keeps disappearing, or won't load when I'm running MSIE8.0

I am running Windows XP, MSIE 8.0. I have installed Flash Player 5 times. It keeps disappearing, or won't even install over Internet Explorer. It stops halfway, and tells me to close Internet Explorer because it can't install with it running. I did that yesterday, and it installed when I started IE again, so I thought the problem was solved. Then, today, I logged on and tried to use Flash Player. It was not installed. I re-installed it, and came to the same block. It will not install while Internet Explorer is running.

Download the correct 32-bit or 64-bit uninstaller and installer and exit I.E.8.

Run the uninstaller.
Reboot.
Run the installer.

Could you do the following please.
Click "Start" and then in the search box at the bottom of the menu, type: CMD
When you get the link, right click it and choose "Run As Administrator".
At the prompt, type CD\ and hit Enter. This will take you to the root.
Next, type: net user administrator /active:yes and hit Enter to enable the hidden Administrator account.
Type: EXIT to close the command prompt.
Reboot the machine and you'll see an additional logon option called Administrator. Choose that and then hit Enter to boot to the desktop (the Aministrator account doesn't have a password by default).
Disable your antivirus to prevent it interfering with the installation. If you have AVAST antivirus, right click the orange icon in systray, go to Avast Shields Control and disable all shields for 1 hour. Otherwise consult this list for instructions on how to disable it: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic114351.html
Next, download Flash for Internet Explorer from here: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax_64bit.exe
When you see the prompt, click "Run" to install it immediately.
After the installation completes, open a command prompt again and type: net user administrator /active:no to disable the Administrator account.
Reboot the machine and then open Internet Explorer.
Click "Tools", then "Manage Add-ons".
In the dropdown menu on the left near the bottom (see screenshot), choose "Run without permission".
Scroll down to "Adobe Systems Incorporated" and verify that "Shockwave Flash Object" is installed and enabled. If it's present, but disabled, click the "Enable" button bottom left of that menu.
Finally, re-enable you antivirus and reboot again. Check the "Manage Add-ons" menu to verify that Flash is still present.

I cannot view videos and have downloated Adobe Flash Player several times.

I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player several times and still cannot view videos. I get the error message "you do not have Adobe Flash Player" and the screen for me to download it. Please help.

Hi,
Try the following.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
Flash Player Uninstaller.
When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller. After this has completed, restart the notebook.
Next, ( unless you already have it ), download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash. Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
Launch Firefox and see if the videos play Ok in this browser - if they do, close Firefox, open Internet Explorer and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component. When done, restart Internet Explorer.
Regards,
DP-K

I've tried installing the latest Adobe Flash Player several times, but it does not seem to work. Any suggestions?

One of the websites I use gives me this message:
Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash
I have tried installing the Flash player several times, but I keep having this same problem.

Can't see your Installed Plugins under More system details...
Did you install the correct version of Flash? 
IE uses a different version of Flash - ActiveX - than other browsers need - the Plugin version.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

I am using Windows 7 and using IE 10, I have to reinstall Flash Player each time I start my computer

Hi I am using Windows 7 and IE 10 and I have to reinstall Flash Player each time I start my computer, even with a fresh install. The same thing is happening on my laptop and is driving me crazy. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this problem. I have tried some suggested fixes from this forum with still no results. Thanks.

Make sure that you allow Firefox in your security software (firewall).
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
Try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 19.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Scam Flash Player Download Site

Apologies in advance if this is posted to the wrong forum.
Looking down the list, I couldn't find one that seemed more relevant.
There is a scam Flash Player download site at:
flashplayer.10-downloadcenter.com/
Typing "flash," "flash player," "flash player 10," and other obvious search terms into Google brings the site up at the top of the page.
It is using graphics that look very much like Adobe's trademarks which can lead people to believe the site is connected with Adobe. They are also using phrases such as "Flash Player 10" that would appear to be Adobe trademarks. The first time I looked at the site, I thought I was at an Adobe page because the trademark appeared to be there, and there was no notice that an Adobe trademark was being used - something one almost always sees at sites where a trademark in use is not owned by the site. If I were Adobe, I'd have my magnifying glass going over that site, looking for infringement. (Who knows - maybe they've already looked ... )
There is a lot of stuff on the page that could lead one to believe they are Adobe, offering enhanced software and services. And - bingo - selling is what they are doing. Get out your credit card to download their stuff - including Flash Player 9.
The trick, when reading the fine print, is that they are selling "memberships." I wonder how many people have downloaded Flash Player from this site, believing they are buying it directly from Adobe. My niece did. She's trying to get the charge removed from her credit card as I type this message.

Further information regarding suspicious actions of this site.
The site had been asked to cancel the transaction within two hours of it taking place. Some of the charges involved extra "premium" software sold along with the "Flash Player 10" download. An extra ~$10 for software that would supposedly increase download speeds greatly. The software all turned out to be PC only, with no mention of there being no Mac version, and no place to check. The site indicated that Flash Player 10 would be downloaded, but all that was available was Flash Player 9 - which was probably already on the machine. One also has to wonder whether their versions don't have zombie payloads.
An archive of the the purchase confirmation page was fortunately kept to save the confirmation numbers and other information. Among the information on the page was the way the charge would appear on the charge card. Checking the card company's invoice, no charge by that name existed. But there was a charge with a completely different label for about the right amount. Calling the (866) number got us to a phone center in India. Sure enough, the mis-labeled charge was the charge in question. The customer service person said that the amount will be refunded within 7 days. We'll see.
Note that an immediate request for cancellation had been made, so the charge shouldn't even have appeared. The site boasts a 7-day money-back guarantee.
I hope that someone, somewhere, will look into this site. I was looking for some kind of complaint link at Google, but haven't found one yet. The site appears not only in the search results, but they run an ad at the top of the Google search page - very visible.
Once again, I hope Adobe will take a look at this highly questionable site.

Wll there be a flash player download for the ipad 2 at any point?

Wll there be a flash player download for the ipad 2 at any point

While no one can say with absolute certainty, at this time it appears to be highly unlikely that a version of Flash Player will ever appear for iOS. Adobe has said that they've given up work on a version for iOS, so unless they change their minds at some point, and can come up with a version that would meet Apple's criteria for performance, security and stability, then Kappy is correct that no, it won't happen.

Flash Player download keeps failing with lost connection and then gives up. satellite Internet connection

Win XP. Firefox 34.0.5 (latest)
The Flash Player download keeps failing with lost connection and then gives up.I am on a satellite Internet connection.
It seems to be extremely slow even when loading the installer which is only 1MB. Then when I run the installer and it starts to download the installation there are frequent messages about losing the connection and then finally gives up.
I have had problems with other software failing when I am on a satellite link. This is most likely because of the huge latency which may be taken as a link failure. Ping times are typically 800ms but can be 2000ms sometimes!

Hello,
The online shim installer, which you are using actually downloads and installs Flash Player silently in the background. If your satelite connection is experiencing latency issues it could result in the failure to download. Please try the full installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page, in the 'Still having problems' section.

Flash Player download site tells me to disable my antivirus software

When I go to the official Flash Player download site (I'm using Firefox) it tells me, that I have to disable my antivirus software. Is that safe? I have heard about cases, that malware has infected a safe and widely used sites. After malware infection those sites says, that I have to disable my antivirus software. Is this "You may have to temporarily disable your antivirus software" message normal thing from Adobe and is it safe to download Flash Player although there's that message? Thanks in advance!

The key here is "may" - in most cases the installer works just fine with your AV software active. There are some rare instances where AV software may prevent FP from being installed; in these cases AV needs to be temporarily disabled. Disconnecting from the Internet during that time is probably advisable.

When I try to watch any video clip I get this:
The version of “Adobe Flash Player” on your system does not include the latest security updates and has been blocked. To continue using “Adobe Flash Player”, download an updated version from Adobe’s website.
I tried clicking on the Adobe Flash Player. It said it accepted it but it did not make a difference.
Can anyone help?
Thank you!
