"User-Agent Strings"
That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess thay've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Flash player is installed but won't work

I have attempted to installed flash player multiple times and it seems like it installs but it doesn't work. I need flash player in order to use notebook software for a smartboard. I am currently using a MacBookPro in which I am the only user. Please Help! I'm so frustrated!!!!

I am also having the same troubles, i am using google chrome on windows 8 and also windows 7. It takes over an hour to even load a 20 minute video, that's with pausing it its been a few weeks now, it's really frustrating. I have tried everything, even re-installing google chrome, plug-ins. It plays youtube fine, just not any other tv streaming sites. Anyone help me figure this out, I'm ready to throw it out

Automatic download is enabled but won't work.

I have an iPhone 4 and recently enabled Automatic Downloads. I did the same on my iPad 1, and it works perfectly, but the feature does not work on my iPhone. I'm using the most recent OS and the most recent iTunes. Any advice would be appreciated.

Flash player is installed but won't run

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash player every way I know how, have searched online for fixes, but Flash player just won't work. It shows under add ons as Shockwave, it shows on the list of programs that can be uninstalled, but it does not show up in the "All Programs" list. I've tried uninstall using Windows to uninstall and reinstall, I've tried Revo Uninstaller and reinstalled, I tried CCleaner uninstall and reinstalled, I've tried uninstall from Adobe site and that didn't work either. I have tried about 8 times, but I can't get it to work. I went through all the info on Adobe Support site to no avail, and yes it is the latest version suffix Flashplayer 12 with 77 suffix. I checked the Active X script setting per Suppot docs, and that didn't help either. When I go to Rockler .com and try to load the catalogue it get the error that I need to install Flashplayer, but it looks to be installed, except for not showing on "All Programs" list. Any ideas are appreciated in advance. Am running Win 7, IE10, 64 bit.

I suggest you post in the Flash Player forum, as it is quite different from Adobe Reader, and you need a different group of experts.
Except, I know enough to say: Flash Player won't show up in he All Programs list, it isn't an app.

Have adobe flash player on chrome but isn't working on firefox, cannot install it I get a message that I haven't got the permissions to do so.

I have flash player in google chrome but not in firefox. When I try to simply allow flash player in firefox it is not listed. I have the only account on my computer so I am the administrator yet it states I do not have sufficient permissions to install flashplayer although it is already on my computer. I will attach a .bmp screen shot of the error message, but this is what it says if you don't want to open a pic from someone you do not know. :)

I would ensure that your server is serving the correct mime-type for .swf files (application/x-shockwave-flash), and that you were using a recommended method for embedding the SWF into the page, like SWFObject: swfobject - SWFObject is an easy-to-use and standards-friendly method to embed Flash content, which utilizes one small…

Cookies enabled but won't work

Could someone please help me? Every time I try to log on or access a site that requires cookies, I get the message saying that I have to enable cookies. Cookies are also not stored on any sites I visit. I have checked a billion times, and cookies are enabled in preferences. I have tried resetting safari (I have version 2.0.4) and deleting com.apple.Safari.plist....NOTHING works. I have also tried in Firefox and get the same message: "In order to access all the functions of ...,you need to modify your browser settings to enable cookies and JavaScript. For instructions on how to enable cookies, please see the Help section on the sign in page".
Any suggestions? Thanks....

Hi: )
Hmm... so do you use an Application that handles cookies or a Safari enhancing app? You didn't say.
Also in your first post you say:
I have tried resetting safari (I have version 2.0.4) and deleting com.apple.Safari.plist....NOTHING works.
If you literally Deleted the plist file & cookies.plist file, try instead
to move them to the trash or Desktop, do a restart of you computer.
You Did make sure to QUIT Safari first when moving these plist files?
• Try Safari in a Test or other user account, if you do not have another account create a test account.
Under the Blue Apple ->System Preferences /Accounts/ Login Options,
use the [+] to create one, for ease you could enter test in all the fields.
Log out from your user name account & log in to the Test account that you created.
This helps to determine if this is a system wide issue or isolated to your user name account.
• Have you tried running Disk permissions repair or and a DIsk Repair [using your Tiger Dvd install disc 1, see this user's tipTravis A.'s Regular Maintenance/General Troubleshooting for some info on how to.
Good luck!
Post back & let us know how you fare.

Constant Error; Adobe Flash Player 11.4 r402 has stopped working. But NOT running Trusteer Rapport.

I am experiancing this unbelieveably annoying and constant Flash error; Adobe Flash Player 11.4 r402 has stopped working.
But NOT running Trusteer Rapport, I never have, and it's not even installed on my computer. So what's causing this?

There were a couple AntiVirus/AntiMalware products that keep coming up, but I haven't validated that in the lab and don't want to call anyone out publicly without reporting the issue to them first.  If you could tell me what antivirus/antimalware products and versions you have installed, that would be helpful.
So, third party stuff aside, I'd like to know more about the crashes your seeing:
1.) Please provide links to the Firefox crash reports. If you have multiples, the first few would be great.
     In Firefox, type about:crashes in the address bar
     If the link starts with "bp...", it's already been submitted -- just right-click on it and copy the link, and paste it into the reply here.
     If not, click it to submit it, and copy the subsequent link.
2.) In firefox, type about:support
     Just copy and paste the output into the reply.
3.) In Firefox, type about:plugins
     Please copy and paste the output into the reply
4.) Please provide the output of the DirectX Diagnostic Utility
     Click Start > type "dxdiag" [enter]
     Click Save All Information
     Copy the output of the file into the reply, or use Adobe SendNow/DropBox/PasteBin to share the file.
5.) If you can provide an exact URL and step-by-step instructions on repeating the crash (if it's consistent), that would be really helpful. My goal is to build out a configuration that matches yours as closely as possible, reproduce the problem and then debug it.
If you're not comfortable sharing that diagnostic information publicly, send me a private message. Just click my name and use the options on the right.
Thanks!

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?

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.
