Flash player needs updating.

I have just installed IE10. However i try to run video and it advises i need to update flash player. I go to adobe, update flash player and advised successfully installed. I try to run video again and get the same message. I uninstalled previous versions and reported. Still get same error message but installation always successful! I am using windows 7 on 32/64bit. system upto date. I had the same fault with IE 9 but i kept uninstalling and going back to IE8. However a little fed up with doing this.
Any ideas????

I suspect you have Flash Player installed properly and something else is failing. When you go to this page, do you see the following?

What version is reported when you go to this page?
Flash Player Version
Thanks,

In recent weeks many websites show "blocked plug-in". Clicking onto it reveals a notice that my Adobe Flash Player needs updating but I'm not able to do it because Step 3 of the update has "blocked plug-in" in it.

In recent weeks many websites on my OS X (10.6.8) have been showing a white patch with "blocked plug-in" on it preventing access to all of the site. When I
click onto it a message appears stating that my Adobe Flash Player needs updating and when I have downloaded the upgrade & moved to Step 3 I get
a "blocked plug in" on it as well. How do I resolve this issue?

When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44: Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)

Flash Player Not Updating?

Hello,
About 10 minutes ago, I checked the Plugin Checker to make sure all my plugins were up to date. It said that my Flash Player needed updating, so I did that.
However, I checked the Plugin Checker again after downloading to make sure it went through, it didn't, and still lists Flash as Vulnerable/In Need of an update: http://i.imgur.com/tiA64Ji.png
Checking Flash's About page, it seems that I have the correct version?: http://i.imgur.com/RL7rdif.png This version is also the same one listed in the download page: http://i.imgur.com/6xLDOOU.png
So am I up to date or not?

It is a bit of a headache right now as 16.0.0.296 is vulnerable actually however Adobe has yet to release yet another update to try and fix critical exploits that is in older versions.
https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsa15-02.html
The update will likely be available at https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html before http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ as was case with last release for a few days.

Flash Player 11 Update for Windows Vista

I have automatic updates set up on my HP, which runs Windows Vista. When the auto-update came up, my McAfee anti-spyware also came up, asking if I wanted to run it [because it wasn't sure about it, I guess].
I said yes, clicked yes for the update (I believe it's for Flash Player 11) and as soon as it finished installation, McAfee told me it had found & deleted a trojan.
And then something for "Microsoft Vista Antispyware 2012" came up, which I know is an actual virus.
Has anyone else had this problem on a PC? Was it coincidence that it happened with the Flash update or was it attached to Flash?

Looking at the Adobe site, it looks like Flash Player 11 auto-update was incompatible with Vista. Which doesn't explain where the virus came from or why McAfee acted up.
Yes, the 64-bit installer only works with Windows 7.
The 64-bit Active X Flash Player needs to be removed and the 32-bit Flash Player for other browsers installed.

I can not get Adobe Flash Player to update on my Mac. It keeps telling me to close Safari even though it is closed. I tried every thing on Adobe's site to fix the problem with the same results always. I went to Mac's site as well and was told to go to Adobe for a solution. It worked fine since a new Mac in Feb. ,but it will not update now so no Flash Player ay all. Thanks for any help.

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Adobe is not maintaining Flash Player auto-update

Flash Player auto-update is broken. The URL that is checked by the auto-update agent has not been maintained properly by Adobe:
https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/xml/version.xml
<version>
 <ActiveX major="11" minor="4" buildMajor="402" buildMinor="287"/>
 <Plugin major="11" minor="4" buildMajor="402" buildMinor="287"/>
 <MacPlugin major="11" minor="4" buildMajor="402" buildMinor="287"/>
 <SAUConfig checkFrequency="1"/>
</version>
This information is obviously out-of-date, as the current full-release version is Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.502.110.
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
As a result, client machines relying on the auto-update process are not being patched. The client machines themselves appear to be checking properly - they have internet access and fpsaud appears to be working properly.
There's really no point to having the auto-update facility if you're not going to maintain it. You might as well just pull it out of the product.

This is as designed. The silent auto update mechanism is not updated until 30 days after a major release. However, the older style UI notifications are sent out within 7 days (and a system restart). Hopefully the FAQ below explains how this works.
How does the automatic update feature work in Flash Player?
If you are responsible for updating clients within an enterprise network, we do have an option available that allows you to run your own update server and immediately push out builds silently and automatically.

There may be an issue with the Firefox plugin checker. 
Please do the following:
#Close Firefox
#Open the application data folder and locate the Firefox data
#Locate and open your profile from the folder
#Rename the <code>pluginreg.data</code> file
#Open Firefox
Does this fix the issue?
If not, you can restore the old <code>pluginreg.dat</code> file by deleting the newly created file and renaming the old file back to <code>pluginreg.dat</code>

What is the Flash Player auto-update behaviour for users without admin credentials on OSX and Windows?

Hi
Does Flash Player auto-update have the ability to update systems when a user does not have administrator access on their device?
What will the results be if we enable Flash Player auto-update on OSX and Windows systems where:
1. Users are log in with accounts that DO NOT have administrator access; and
2. Internet access is granted via a proxy server, but only when a user with NO administrator credentials is logged in.
Thanks in advance.

So there's no way to completely turn off user notification AND allow background updates unless you use a locally hosted update server? That's too bad.
Reading page 26 of the manual, I see there's an mms.cfg file that you can configure, with an option SilentAutoUpdateEnable, which is described on page 32:
SilentAutoUpdateEnable
SilentAutoUpdateEnable = [ 0, 1 ] (0 = false, 1 = true)
Availability: Flash Player 11.2 for Microsoft Windows, and Flash Player 11.3 for Macintosh
Enables a Flash Player update to install silently in the background with no user interaction. Installs both the ActiveX and plug-in players when appropriate. This type of update is called a Flash Player background update.
Standard users cannot disable background updates if they are enabled by an administrator.
Depending on the type of browser, if the user has a browser open at the time of an update, the browser might not use the updated player immediately. For more information, see "Performing a background update" on page 19.
The default value is 0 to disable background updates.
So you're saying that even if we enable this option (but don't configure a local server), users may still be prompted some or all of the time?

Windows 7 internet security will not allow the installation of Flash Player 17 Update

Windows 7 internet security will not allow the installation of the Flash Player 17 update. I have tried the direct install using the IE_AX update without success.

Hi,
Thanks for the screenshot. It's very helpful. Essentially, this is an issue with the internet security settings on your machine (Internet Explorer > Internet Options > Security), and not a Flash Player issue. I Googled "internet security settings prevented one or more files from opening' and it returned numerous hits. I'm posting a few for you, however, I'm not endorsing any of them. I recommend you search your self and select one you feel comfortable with.

Hello my MacBook is crashing when I watch Youtube videos. Safari and Flash Player are updated.

Hello,
My MacBook is crashing when I watch Youtube videos. Safari and Flash Player are updated.
What is the problem?
It will be necessary to take him on a technical assistance?
thank you

Have you tried an alternate browser to see if the same issue happens? Try Firefox or Chrome. Chrome has Flash embedded in it, so if it doesn't work, it's probably not a Flash issue. FIrefox is at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and Chrome is at https://www.google.com/chrome .
Another thing to try is to sign up for HTML5 video from Youtube. See http://www.youtube.com/html5

Youtube constantly gives message that flash player needs to be updated

although I hyoave downloaded and installed the latest version of flash player,which is also verified but still everytime i open you tube it direct me to a page which says that i need to update my player and i cannot ignore it or bypass it. please help
