Flash Player Issues with Lion

Has anyone else had issues with flash player after downloading Lion? for some reason after i got lion and i go to facebook to take a picture with my webcam or if i go to a video chat website it pops up the screen that asks to allow the website to connect to the webcam but it is not clickable. i have only had this problem after i got lion does anyone know how to fix this or if it is a problem with my laptop not the program.

I believe I had a similar issue as well. I'd check Adobe's website for an updated version of Flash. If that still doesn't fix it, it's likely because Flash actually does not yet support Lion (or at least not the last time I looked).

Flash Player Issue with Windows 8.1 Professional

Hi guys,
I'm currently having issues with Flash Player on Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 8.1. It seems that the Flash Player has been disabled when I access http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html.
However, when I logged off the my domain account and use my local account, I'm able to test Flash Player.
Therefore, the only thing I can think of is the Group Policy that is blocking the Flash Player as I've resetted IE settings on my domain account.
Hopefully you guys are able to solve this mystery.
Thanks!!

Go to control panel and go to program and features and uninstall existing adobe player

Flash player issues with system recognizing it's installed - all versions

I am running a Vista 64-bit computer.I seem to have had lots of trouble with Adobe Flash Player being recognized by various sites (and have the same issues with other computers running both XP and Windows 7). I've downloaded, I've clicked install, it shows in the computer but the sites keep asking me to download. I downloaded 11 recently, which didn't help and later found out that it doesn't support Vista 64 bit, even though I've had Vista 64 bit for 3 1/2 years! Anyway, I uninstalled 11 and found a download for 10 and put it back to that but it still doesn't help.For example, I was looking at patterns on michaels.com and I got the message to install Flash.
Again, I have FP 10 installed (now) and would like to know if there are additional steps to take in order to get sites to recognize it is installed. Additionally, I am curious as to the short-sitedness of Adobe NOT to provide Flash Player for 64 bit Vista machines. Because Microsoft charges crazy amounts to upgrade OS, it is unlikely that I'll upgrade to Win 7 anytime soon. And since the product (Vista x64) has been around for many years, why is it treated as though it doesn't exist?

Exactly same issue here.

Flash Player issues with BBC Weather Map

I am using Flash Player 16.0.0.235 on Windows 7 via Internet Explorer 32-bit
I keep losing the information on the BBC Weather Maps.
The maps load but then freeze before the weather information is displayed. The bar shows it is trying to load but nothing happens.
I have tested & Adobe Flash Player is working correctly on my laptop.
Tried shutting down & rebooting but no change.
Any ideas?

I believe I had a similar issue as well. I'd check Adobe's website for an updated version of Flash. If that still doesn't fix it, it's likely because Flash actually does not yet support Lion (or at least not the last time I looked).

Newest Version of Flash Player Issues With Firefox 12.0

Firefox just updated today to its newest version 12.0. After updating, every website was running slow or freezing. I eventually discovered that the culprit was the Adobe Flash Player Plugin. Disabling the plugin returned things to normal. I would like to still use the flash plug in, but have not found a way to enable it without all websites freezing. I am using a Windows 7 64-bit operating system. I have tired uninstalling and reinstalling the flash player and I have double checked that I am using the newest version of Flash Player. I have cleared the Flash Player cache, tried disabling the hardware acceleration option, and restarted my computer inbetween several times. I am offically at a loss for what to do? Please help me.

In your opinion, should I uninstall Firefox if I am installing Waterfox?
Waterfox can coexist peacefully with Waterfox. I have both installed, but never use Firefox any more.
Not only can Waterfox run in 64-bit address space, it also is better optimized during compile time than Firefox. (For obvious reasons; Firefox is compatible with many old systems, Waterfox only needs to be compatible with new 64-bit systems.)
P.S. regarding Chris' advice above; Firefox and Waterfox use the same profile, so if that is actually the problem, then it will occur in both browsers.

Flash Player issues with Windows 8 / IE 10

I cant get this to work and I've tried every link. Even going to the download flashplayer site, it comes up blank. It says it's already installed but i have several sites that I cannot get onto and asks me to update flash player. I've enabled the Add On, I've fixed the security, I've hit every link, update, that is suggested on here and google. It's still not working. Any help would be very appreciated!

Specifically abcmouse.com and candy crush on facebook.
When I click on the Flash Player Version - none of the boxes show I have flash player capabilities (all blank).
And that second link....that's my problem, when I click on that one it says Flash Player is embedded into Windows 8 and I cannot manually install. Yet, the video on that same link says I do not have Flash Player, and click this link to install. When I click the link to install, I get the Adobe page, and no info. Blank page (see attached picture).

Installing Flash Player Issues

I have a Windows 8 Operating Sysytem and I use IE version 8. I have downloaded the latest flash player numerous times and it continues not to work. So can someone please help me install it?????? Thanks in advance

If you have Windows 8, you CANNOT use IE 8, because Windows 8 comes with IE 10 preinstalled and it WON'T accept a lower version.
In addition, Flash Player for IE in Windows 8 is modified and embedded by Microsoft. It's "their baby" so to speak. It can ONLY be updated through Windows Update (in your Control Panel under System and Security).
Microsoft released a "Tuesday patch" November 12 to update Flash Player for IE10 and IE11 in Windows 8 and 8.1.
If you run the update and still have problems, see: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html for more steps to take.

Should I download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash to use with Lion? My need for Flash is very basic: Google Maps, YouTube, and content on certain websites. Thanks for any help you are able to provide.

Thanks for the speedy reply. I have read so many comments about Flash being incompatible with Lion I was wondering whether to download it or not. So many sites on the Web still require flash, however, you almost don't have a choice but to download it even if it is incompatible. I gather a better version of Flash will be available for Lion soon. Again, thanks for the help. I will download the latest version of Flash.

Issues with Lion recognizing keyboard and mouse functions

Hello everyone,
I have read that there were issues with Lion so I waited for months before I upgraded hoping that there would be enough complaints to warrant a fix from the tech lords. I decided to finally upgrade and the issues with incompatible software came to fruition. Fortunately I don't need to upgrade anytime soon but here's my real issue. I have a logitech mouse and keyboard and Lion won't recognize the keyboard, even with product upgrade. Also, the right click button is not functioning the way it should. I can no longer right click and copy and paster anymore. Being a long time mac head from the 80s I know there are always issues but I have never experienced this many. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I had the same setup with the apple BT keyboard and the V270 mouse. I also work with the lid closed and with an external monitor (I bet that you are also using airport)! Both devices seem to intermittently loose connection, and the mouse cursor doesn't track very well. Looking through postings it seems that airport interferes with BT, and the behavior I've seen seems to support this. I stopped using the mouse because I couldn't get it to work adequately. I'v also tried using BT headphones (Motorola HT820) which at best the sound drops out intermittently, and at worse crashes OS X. I'm thinking that BT on the Macbook Pro just marginally works... I'd be curious if you ever had any success with your setup!

HT4628 Still having issues with Lion os X and wi-fi

I am still havign issues with Lion os X and wi-fi. I have 3 domputers in my house including the new macbook pro that has lion os x installed. The wifi drops out all the time (every 2 minutes). I have followed all the instructions on how to fix this but I am still having issues. The other two computers work fine, one of the is Lion os X that has been updated but I managed to play with the setting and fix this one. This computer worked fine on Snow leapard and then a soon as I installed Lion the wifi started having issues.
When will apple make an update that is going to fix this problem. You want to buy a new computer that works, I took it into apple and they told me that it is my router, but I know it is the software as there are 100's of blogs and threads about this exact issue occuring only when their computer was updated to Lion.
Is there anything else I can do to fix this issue other then un-installing Lion and buying Snow Leapard?

Does this problem happen with just your airport base station? Do you have a 3rd party wireless router? Can you duplicate the problem using any wifi access point? Did your computer come with 10.7 preinstalled? Did you purchase the applecare with your computer?

Would flash player issues cahnge desktop icons?

I'm starting a seperate discussion on this issue as it is truly different than my other postings
I use Vista Home premium
I have many icons on my desk top, mostly shortcuts to program. Yesterday I had to reboot several times when trying to update to ne flash player.
Then upon one reboot, I noticed that some, just like 3, Icons changed.
Example
icon for the shortcut to itunes looked like the icon picture for the game dinerdash
icon for shortcut to the game Bakerydash looked like the icon for spider solitaire
now when I would right click on these shortcuts, they would show the proper data for the shortcut they truely were Whe I would right click on the icon and then select change icon, the only option there was the actual correct icon. I'd hit apply, but it did not good.
I ran virus/spyware scans and all were clean.
Could it be because of flash player issues? or because I had rebooted several times in a row and did not allow the system to fully reboot before trying the next reboot??
Like I would reboot and then 7 minutes later reboot again. Could that cause the icons to screw up a little?

I don't know what changed the desktop icons, but it is one of these things that just happen sometimes.
Windows XP had a great tool, TweakUI (from Windows Power Toys), that has a 'Repair Icons' function. Microsoft never released a TweakUI version for Vista, but I know that a 3rd-party version of TweakUI for Vista can be found on the Internet (Google will find it for you).
I would try to use this to repair your desktop icons.
P.S. since this TweakUI is not a Microsoft tool, I recommend to make a System Restore point before running it; just in case...

Is there a solution or work around for flash player issues?

Is there a solution, app or work around for flash player issues w/ iPad 2? Maybe even something in development?

Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so you could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app). But flash itself is unlikely to ever be supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ , and Adobe have failed to create a version of flash that works on iOS
There is a search box on the right-hand side of this page for further info.

Issues with Lion, anyone having the same ones?

I'm having several of issues with Lion (mostly with Safari).   Wondering if anyone else has these problems. I'm hoping/assuming these will be bugs that Apple will fix with a software update?   Or if therres any fix for them?
1.   Zoom while in Safari, the 2 finger pinch and zoom feature stops working after a while usually. I used to like the zoom in snow leopard where on a webpage it would zoom you in while keeping the page contents within the screen. You can still accomplish this by doing the command + shortcut. But I really liked the touchpad feature. I don't mind the way the zoom works on safari (zooming in wihtout keeping the page in the screen).   But my problem is it stops working after a certain amount of time.
2. Safari freezing up.   Yes, my safari is freezing and I'm needing to force quit every now and then.   Never really had that problem with snow leopard.
3. Swiping to go to my desktop.   When I try to 4 finger swipe to get to my desktop or something (going to the left always), My launchpad keeps coming up. Thats HORRIBLY annoying.   I have to go to my icons and manually turn launchpad off.    This might be my most annoying problem.
4. Getting mission control up with the four fingers swiping up usually takes 2 or 3 swipes,   and also when I'm in mission control and I want to go to something on my desktop (if I have 2 or 3 things open while having mail and safari on full screen), it takes 2 or 3 clicks to select whatever I want to go to.
Overall I really DO like lion. Just don't like those glitches Ive seen so far.   Anyone having the same problems?

Yes! I see the same! Extremely annoying. And as long as the pinch-zoom works, it's very unstable, and sometimes seems to freeze Safari with a "fuzzy" picture. It doesn't really freeze it, though, I can still use otheropen tabs, and usually a double-tap zoom "wakes" the "frozen tab".

Is flash player compatible with kindle fire?

Is flash player compatible with the kindle fire?

I am able to run flash on my Kindle Fire HD. It was actually really easy. You have to use a process called sideloading. The information is all over the web. Check out this site: http://kindlefirelive.com/install-adobe-flash-player-onto-your-kindle-fire/
