Flash Player only stays installed for one use

I am using a Mac G4 Dual 1.25ghz MDD with OS 10.4.10 and both
Safari 2.0.4 and Firefox 2.0.0.6 Browsers. I install Flash Player 9
OSX, then the Browser works fine. I quit the Browser, relaunch it
and any file requiring Flash Player displays as a Quicktime Q
symbol with a Question Mark superimposed it. I have to install
Flash Player before each use of either browser to be able to view
files requiring flash player. The problem does not exist with
Internet Explorer 5.2. Any Suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks
ahead of time.

Problem still exists on both Firefox and Safari, but not on
Explorer. I have done restarts, re-installs of Flash, Permissions
repairs. Nothing I have tried so far seems to be permanent. I have
the install flash player on my desk top. I re-install to start up
my default browser. It will work until I close the browser, then
not work when I re-open it.

  • Flash player won't install for adminstrator, but will for child accounts

    I use the Family Safety on our computer.  We have accounts for our child, self (as administrator), and guests.  Flash player shows as installed and works on the child and guest accounts.  But, it does not appear as installed on my administrator account.  We use McAfee for protection, but that doesn't seem to be the problem.  I have tried installing and uninstalling several times. I have tried installing using internet explorer and firefox.  We have windows 7.  I don't know what to do.  It used to be installed.

    Administrator account: there is no flash player listed in the Manage Add-ons list.  Adobe Shockwave Flash Object is enabled.  When I choose to look at all add ons, ActiveX shows up and is also enabled.
    Standard Account: there is no flash player listed in the manage add-ons list.  Adobe shockwave flash object and activeX are both enabled.
    I looked in the "all add ons list" for both accounts, and there is not flash player plug in.  But flash player works in the standard account.  Am I missing a plugin?
    Just to try it I enabled a google toolbar.  Flash player still doesn't work.
    Thank you.

  • Flash Player will not install for use with Firefox

    I cannot install Flash into Firefox, To see Flash content, I must use Google Chrome...no problem there. Way back when, I had no problems with Firefox.
    Though I am an administrator, I get the "insufficient permissions" message just before the installation is complete. I tried everything suggested in Adobe's help area in that regard.
    What I have tried: A new administrator account. Making sure I was running the .exe program and Firefox as an administrator. Delete and reinstall Firefox. Use the uninstall from Adobe for Flash, and then try the reinstall. Disabling all security while doing all of this. Installing in Safe Mode. I spend a few hours on this every month or so.
    A new install in Chrome happens. I even downloaded Commodo Dragon, and have the same trouble there...I feel like Chrome is wandering around inside there to keep me from using Firefox!!! I have been using Firefox for years, and still strongly prefer it, but I am about to give up.

    Could you check the progress of the install.
    (1) Physical file location
    The DLL is deposited in this folder:
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    Can you find NPSWF32_11_9_900_170.dll there?
    (2) Registry entry
    If the file exists, the next link in the chain is the registry entry Adobe leaves for Firefox to find.
    If you are comfortable using RegEdit, that should be here:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MozillaPlugins\@adobe.com/FlashPlayer

  • Flash Player won't install for my firefox...

    I have the latest version of firefox. I had to uninstall flash because it wasn't recent. On the flash page, I was following the instructions for the uninstall, which went fine. Now I am trying to follow instructions for the re-install, and it's not working. I click download, and then click "run" and then say "yes" when it asks to make changes to the computer. (I'm an administrator) Then the flash box comes up and it has like a preparing to install bar that loads fine, but then it gets stuck on the "retrieving install" and the bar just sits at zero percent until a message comes up that an error occured. It will stay up until I finally just exit out of it, and then it'll take me to a troubleshooting flash page. The trouble shooting page doesn't help at all, because apparently this normally isn't a problem! Does anyone know what to do?

    The above link is for the ActiveX installer (Internet Explorer).
    Use the appropriate download links in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550
    If you are on a 64-bit system, use the 64-bit installer(s); you will then also be able to use Flash under the 64-bit version of Firefox: Waterfox.

  • Flash Player only works for the account that downloaded it

    hi, i had already deleted cookies, temp internet files, etc;

    it's the latest version of FP 10.0.45.2.
    I installed this version a couple of weeks ago and it worked ok for all accounts (the other 2 accounts are not admin) for a week. Then, it stopped working for all accounts, i reinstalled it (some trial and error involved), then when it finally reinstalled, only works for the one account. i just tried to reinstall from one of the other accounts and error mssg said  "failed to register"

    Hi ol, I would go to Tools, click on Internet Options and clear the Temp files. Delete Cookies, Delete Files, including the off line content. I would do this using all accounts. Also check the history files while you are there and delete those also unless you have done so recently.
    What version of Flash Player do you have Installed?
    Do you use any adblock or pop up blocker software?
    Thanks,

  • Adobe flash player only installing 95%

    Sorry I have tried the Adobe support forum but they seem about as much use as me so thought I'd give it a shot here basically tried to view something on youtube this morning an it wouldn't play an said I needed to update to the newest version so I did an ran the installer but only installed to 95% I repeated a few times an realised nothing would change I then went to the Adobe site an it suggested un installing flash player the re installing I did exactly this an went to re install the new version but still stopped at 95%? So I'm pretty stumped is there another Flash Player I can install so I can view youtube? an my OS is 10.6.8 snow leopard,Safari version 5.1.9 any help would be so so appreciated!
    Many thanks Darran

    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • HT202681 Is Flash Player only for Safari? Do I need Flash Player for Firefox?

    Is Flash Player only for Safari? Do I need Flash Player for Firefox?

    A Flash tip to help avoid security issues later: There are known scammer who fake a "Flash is out of date" pop-up that leads you to a site that installs malware or can compromise your private data. If you see a pop-up in FF saying you need to upgrade Flash, the only safe thing to do is go to this official Adobe site:
    https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    and follow the downloads instructions there. It will show the currently available version. You can quickly tell what version is on your computer by doing System Preference > Flash Player and selecting the "Updates" tab.
    Do NOT choose to update Flash from any pop-up. Here are several articles with more info on the "Fake Flash" issue:
    http://www.thesafemac.com/?s=flash&submit=Search
    Fake Flash pop-ups commonly contain grammatical or spelling errors. One common one is "Failure to install this update may cause your computer to crush." Using only the official Adobe site I linked plus checking your current version via System Preferences will avoid your having to figure out if a pop-up is fake.

    Some MacBook Pro versions cannot be upgraded past 10.6.8; others are maxed out at 10.7.5. newer models can go all the way to 10.10. So it is important to know exactly what version you have--there may be close to 40 variants produced since the MB made its debut in 2006.
    You can safely give us a snapshot of your model and its current config that will allow us to deternmmine your model and its upgrade potential, plus show it you have any software that may impede any upgrades. Please download and install this free utility:

  • Flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser?  It is already installed, I just don't use it.  I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it?  If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

  • Adobe Flash Builder 4 licence is for one desktop and one laptop, only one at a time run or

    After installing Adobe Flash Builder 4 needed install AIR? Adobe Flex 4 SDK IS ALREADY INCLUDED?
    Adobe Flash Builder 4 licence is for one desktop and one laptop, only one at a time run or...?

    hi,
    Flashbuilder has the ability to create and run Air content from the IDE, to actually usean Air App outside of the IDE you need to install Air.
    Flashbuilder install includes 2 sdks, the 3.5 sdk for 'backward' compatibility with Flexbuilder and for targeting flashplayer 9, the 4.x SDK for Flashbuilder and  targetting flashplayer 10.0 and above.
    As far as fair use is concerned Adobe have had fair use software licensing for a while, single user 2 devices is not a problem, what is not clear is if you can use the software on both devices at the same time.

    Hi all,
    I can't get Adobe Flash Player 10.3 to install.  I've followed the subinacl steps (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/494/cpsid_49419.html) and all other suggestions about using the uninstaller, rebooting and reinstalling.  I'm a smart guy, but can't figure this one out.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • I want to use my Apple watch to time my patients' vital signs. The face only stays displayed for about 7 seconds. Can I change that?

    I want to use my Apple watch to time my patients' vital signs. The watch face only stays displayed for about 7 seconds, which won't work. Can I change that?

    Linda
    I am glad that bbqdevil's *workaround* will "do the trick"
    Did you give the Timer idea a try yet? It seems to me that you are really needing to know when a certain amount of time has elapsed rather than *time how long you have being taking a reading*. Will you always have your hand free to tap the Watch? If so, why would you need the StopWatch going? - just look again at the sweep second hand on the clock.
    It still remains that one should be able to set the time elapsed before sleep on a Chronograph w/ sweep second WatchFace though. I have searched and searched, to no avail.
    I would suggest Siri, but it seems like many issues with Siri are ongoing and might just add another problem to the mix.
    If I were you, I would Call Apple Support. It is sometimes tricky to get that option in the "breadcrumb" process Apple has instituted, but I was able to test the process before suggesting this:
    Click/Tap > https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action
    Choose Apple Watch
    Choose "Setup & Usage..."
    Choose "The topic is not listed"
    Enter "set sleep duration" > [Continue]
    (I know this in not exactly right, but the point is to be vague)
    Pick your poison - I would ONLY choose to talk with them on the phone
    Rehearse an "elevator pitch" statement* for the Specialist that you get AND when you get no satisfaction (likely) ASK FOR A SUPERVISOR
    I have NEVER gotten an answer from a Level 1 Specialist - they are reading from a Knowledge Base not unlike all the resources available to us online
    I have ALWAYS gotten satisfaction from a Senior Specialist (sometimes pretty high up the chain - but always)
    Here's a sample "elevator pitch" that I actually sent as Feedback on the Apple Watch User Guide page
    I need to change the duration 'before' the Watch goes to sleep while observing the Chronograph Watch Face.
    I am a healthcare provider. I need to use my Watch to assist me in taking vital signs. On a normal watch, I would start counting pulses or respirations at a 15 second interval on the Analog Chronograph sweep second hand > stop counting at the next 15 sec. interval > multiply X 4 to get rate/minute.
    The Watch goes to sleep after SEVEN (7) seconds !! Therefore I cannot see when 15 seconds has elapsed.  I use both hands regularly in the procedure, so touching the Watch is not an option - or 'raise the Watch' to my viewing position.
    I, and others in the ASC forum have searched for a Setting for the before sleep duration in vain.
    Let us know what you decide.

    Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.
