Flash player not detected since latest update?

This morning when I logged onto my machine, I was notified
that there was an update to the Adobe Flash Player. I went ahead
and let it install. Afterward, I went to a website to do some work,
but found when I got there that the site's flash player detection
code was failing, and I was provided with a link to download the
latest version. So, I went to Adobe's site and ran the install
again, and it went to the screen where the little flash movie pops
up to show that the install was successful. However, upon returning
to the website I originally came from, it was still not detecting
the Flash Player!
I went directly to Adobe's website, and even their front page
isn't detecting the flash player, as it put me at an static version
of the site. I tried going into the control panel page for the
Flash Player, due to reading a forum post here saying there was som
cab file thing I might need to mess with to fix this problem, but
the control panel page just notifies me that I need to download the
player.
When even the creator's home page doesn't recognize that I've
installed its product, that seems like a serious problem to me.
I've gone to a number of other sites with heavy flash content, and
95% of them told me to download the latest version of the Flash
Player. I think something about the player's detection process is
broken. I even completely uninstalled the player and reinstalled it
from scratch, and it's still not working.
Any ideas?
ADDENDUM: This appears to be an IE 7 issue, as Firefox is
having no trouble getting the player detected.

After JUST posting the above message i found another thread
on this site that is focusing on the same problem. I found a
solution in that thread that worked with a few mods for XP. Again I
am running XP SP2 and IE6.
Here's the solution as posted, I think for a Vista user that
was experiencing the same behavior from Flash:
1. Go to WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash and find uninstaller
2. After you run uninstaller the "Flash" folder should
disappear itself...if not, you manually delete it
3. Install the flash player again with the file you download
from adobe
http://www.adobe.com/go/full_flashplayer_win_msi
I followed step 1, but the only uninstaller i could find in
the Flash folder was an unistaller for the Flash9.ocx, so i ran it.
It however did NOT delete the Flash folder itself, so i did what
step 2 recommended and deleted the Flash folder altogether. Then I
went to Adobe's site at
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
and downloaded the Flash9 installer, ran it, and bingo! Flash works
again.

HT6058 my ipad screen will not rotate since latest update

my ipad scrren will not rotate since latest update, i have done everything i can think of including wha tapple told me

What have you tried, and what did Apple tell you ?
Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'). The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
If there isn't a lock symbol then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I use OverDrive to get audiobooks from my library to listen on my ipod. Does not work since latest update of ipod. Converts the WMA and acts like it is putting it on the ipod but then it isn't there.

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.Have yo tried:
- Backing up and restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Go to the OverDrive support site

Adobe Flash Player not working since update

Good Morning, I had a update yesterday and since then anything that uses Flash Player doesn't work, it stops sends a report to apple and thats it i've tried uninstalling the flash player and still nothing, I tried repairing the permissions in disk utility. Really no clue what to try next.

I now have a solution to this problem, which has certainly worked for me.
Backup system. Go to User/Home/Library/Preferences. Move all files in the Preferences folder to a new temporary folder on the desktop. Log out and log in again. Test. Embedded video should work.If it does, copy the old preference files back to the original Library/Preferences folder but select DO NOT REPLACE. Log out and back in again.
To retrieve e-mail accounts, mail, and account settings, copy the COM.APPLE.MAIL.PLIST file from the temporary desktop folder into the Library/Preferences folder and select REPLACE. When you're happy that all your data is in place and everything works, delete the temporary desktop folder.

Flash Player not working since update

I recently updated my Flash player and since then I only see a black box when something tries to play. No error message or anything- just a black box. I am running windows xp with mozilla firefox 3.6.8. Any ideas? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the flash player and I can always see the animation saying it was successfully downloaded. I also tried disabling the firewall in CA Security Center and that didn't work either. Any help would be appreciated. THanks!

Hi, sorry for the delay. Thanks for the info. To disable hardware acceleration, just go to youtube and bring up any video and right click on the video. Click on Settings, then Display Settings and you'll see where to turn it off.
Ok on the SWF plugin Enabled. Unless you upgraded to a 64bit system, you most likely are using a 32bit. Go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Open Flash and post back all files listed there. Any NPSWF file(s) you will need to right click on and then click on Properties to obtain the version numbers. If you need directions to locate the Flash folder, let me know and I'll post them.
Once we have this info, I'll have some info on CA for you.
Thanks,

Latest Flash Player not working since loading it

My husband is a surfer, and until Dec. 3 was able to view live streaming surf contests online. After getting the "must have latest Flash Player" message from every video/live stream he/we try to watch, and downloading Flash Player 11 three times (once with the help of a Symantec tech)and we still get the "must have latest Flash Player" message, dear husband has not been able to watch the Pipeline Masters now going on in Hawaii...NOT a happy camper. Is Flash Player 11 not compatible with IE8? How can we get videos running again? I don't want Chrome, so please don't send me there. Thanks.

Flash Player 11.9.900.170 requires:
2.33GHz or faster x86-compatible processor, or Intel® Atom™ 1.6GHz or faster processor for netbooks
Microsoft® Windows® XP (32 bit), Windows Server 2008 (32 bit), Windows Vista® (32 bit), Windows 7 (32 bit and 64 bit), Windows 8 (32 bit and 64 bit), or Windows Server 2012 (64 bit)
Internet Explorer 7.0 or later, Mozilla Firefox 17 or later, Google Chrome, or Opera 11
512MB of RAM (1GB of RAM recommended for netbooks); 128MB of graphics memory
I agree with your sentiment about Chrome. I use it on test machines only. I won't have it on my everyday computer(s). There are other browsers that work better:
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Safari (from Apple)
Opera
Those use the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers)
I personally use and recommend Firefox. It's faster, safer, and it can import ALL your IE settings (history, bookmarks, login info and passwords) when you install it, so you lose nothing. Plus... they're free.

Flash player not working after new update

After the new update, I 'm unable to play the flash video on few sites such as PBS Frontiine which used to work fine an hour bedfore update and I was always able to see such video since I got my N900, 4 month ago. it asks to install flash player. I own 2 Nokia N900 and have not updated one of my uniits. the unit with old SW, the flash video works as always and properly. I 've reinstalled the new update and same problem. Have a friend who also expeiencing same issue after update. Hesitant to update my other N900 the works properly.
Is there a patch for te flash player or is this is a flaw?
Does anyone know if there is possibility of being able to reload previous SW?

you can go back to the older firmware but i think you have to flash it tho

Flash player not detected w/o admin rights

I've installed the latest version of the macromedia flash
player. I installed it under my profile with admin rights, If I
login as a user that does not have admin rights, the flash player
does not get detected. Any ideas? This works fine on other computer
in the network. The computer is running XP SP2.

I hate to reply to my own post, but I found the solution!! Actually I found a post from someone else who found the solution... I will detail it here in case someone else searches for it.
Solution:
What happened was I went into IE and went to the Help/About Internet Explorer. When I did I got a strange Error 53 dialog box that came up. I searched the internet for this and came across this site: http://www.netsplore.com/PublicPortal/blog.aspx?EntryID=45.
Following the instructions on that site solved all the problems!
I hope this helps someone else...

Flash Player not working after installing update 11.6.602.171

Running Windows 7, IE8. Tried all of the "fixes" recommended on adobe's site - nothing worked. Flash Player is installed on computer, but when try to play video, it says it is not installed. Tried unistalling and reinstalling and all of the recommendations on this site. Please help!!

I have the same problem. Since I installed the newest version I cannot watch embedded videos any more. I checked especially for youtube videos. When they are embedded, I only get sound, but no picture/film to go with it, BUT when I go to youtube, I can watch the video just fine.
Same for videos from internet sites of tv channels. I like to watch my favourite TV series online when I have time and since one and a half week: I can't.
I have
Flash Player 11.6.602.171
Operating system: Windows 7 (64 bit)
Browser: Internet Explorer 9.0
I already tried everything from these sites:
http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/de/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header_7
What happens:
When I go to this site for example:
http://rtl2now.rtl2.de/berlin-tag-nacht/berlin-tag-nacht-folge-373.php?container_id=117093 &player=1&season=3
After some time I can hear that the advertisment started, but I just see a black screen...
Any ideas??

Flash player not detecting Usb attached professional camera

Hi,
Details :
Our application uses below snippet of Flex 4.5 sdk code for detecting flash players :
var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
                if (camera) {
                    camera.setMode(640,480,60,true);
                    camera.setQuality(1000,10000);
                    videoDisplay.attachCamera(camera);
                else {
                    Alert.show("No Camera found with your computer");
Above code is fine for the Logitech webcam which am using, We have a requirement to detect Canon EOS digital cams to be recognized as well to detect with the flash player.
but its not recognizable in flash player.
Any help is appreciated!

Any inputs on this please ? Is the getCamera not designed to detect external cams? or is it available in any other sdk versions? am using flex 4.5.1.x

Flash Player not detected

Hey,
I've tried over and over again to install Flash Player. It says the plugin doesn't work or is not there. I have Flash for Firefox but doesn't seem to get recognized for Safari.
Any ideas why?
Chris

I am having a similar problem, too. Every time I try to load a page with flash content, it doesn't display at all. It doesn't even display a spacer or ?-box. As if the code weren't even there. It's annoying, because a lot of site I go to can only be navigated with flash. This started happening after one of the MANY recent security updates, but I don't know which one, and I didn't notice the behavior because I wasn't using my computer much during midterms.
I have uninstalled flashplayer 8 using Adobe (formerly macromedia)'s own uninstaller, and reinstalled it. The odd thing is, when I go to Safari's Help > Installed Plug-ins, it lists the correct plug-in as activated. I have repaired my permsissions, and run fsck -f in single user mode. Is there any way to correct this WITHOUT a reinstall? That'll take forever...

Flash Player not Working, even After Update?

I noticed that whenever I tried to load a video yesterday, I kept getting the "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed" message. This morning, I installed the new Adobe update and I am still getting the problem. I have never encountered a problem running flash player until yesterday. What should I do? My browser, Firefox, is also up-to-date.

Would you also mind reporting this as a new bug over at bugbase.adobe.com? Please include a copy of your dxdiag report, the exact url where the crashes occur and a crash log. You can find instructions for getting the crash log for firefox here:

Flash player not working since v11

Running:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
Catalyst 13.1
Firefox 19.0 32-bit
Flash 10.3/11.6
So my problem is, every version of flash beyond 10 I have tried to install, has failed to work on my computer in nearly identical ways. The download works fine, the installation works fine, the plugin appears in firefox, and the flash version detector on the website works fine. However, where there should be a flash video or game, there is either a blank space, a black space, or a still image of the playback program (as is the case on youtube). I have uninstalled and reinstalled flash and firefox multiple times and deleted every cache I could find, to no avail. I've been using v10 for a while now, just so I can view videos, but it still bothers me that this has not been resolved. Any help would be fantastic.

You could try running through the steps in this post
How do I fix Windows permission problems with Flash Player?
It would be helpful to know if other browsers work or not. This type of behavior makes me think that either a browser addon or a system utility/service is conflicting with Flash.

Airplay/Airdrop not working since latest update on Apple TV

Hi,
Ive had my Apple TV since xmas, (3rd generation I think, black box) all working fine until it updated last week. The apple TV is no longer visable from any of my devices (iphone5/ipad air etc), since this update happened.
I have restarted the box, rebooted my router, reset all settings and re-configured but all has failed. The airplay is also setup with no password.
Anything else I can try?
Many Thanks

if you are one of those people whos router is as it came then likely it have a name (ssid) like Netgear or linksys or the likes
if you live close to thers who have the same router this could mean your appletv is connecting to an unprotected wifi network with the same ssid as your without you realising it
otherwise I would connect it by usb cable to the computer and use itunes to restore the firmware of the appletv

Flash player not detecting DRM

According to the documentation, when an encrypted FLV is played using the netstream.play() method, it should fire a StatusEvent, with event code "DRM.encryptedFLV". This does not work for me. Instead an ErrorEvent is broadcast with text="Error #2014: Feature is not available at this time." I need to catch the proper event so I can initiate the DRM license retrieval process (I want my player to support both encrypted and non encrypted content). What am i doing wrong?

Hi Pedro,
The SampleVideoPlayer hosted on drmtest.adobe.com will first look to see if a .metadata file is available. If not, it assumes that the content is not DRM protected and will directly do a NetStream.play() on the content. Just to verify for yourself, you can try to copy one of our publicly-hosted Flash-Access DRM files (without the .metadata file) to your web server, and then try to play that with our publicly-hosted SampleVideoPlayer.
Copy this DRM'd file: http://drmtest.adobe.com/content/anonymous.f4v
Use our SampleVideoPlayer: http://drmtest.adobe.com/SVP/SampleVideoPlayer_FP.html
However, back to your question, if your license server is public-facing, can I have a link to the video you're playing, to replicate things on my side? In addition, may I also have your player source code, just to see if there is anything odd that jumps out?
I'll private-message you my email address.
cheers,
/Eric.
