Flash player permission box pops up but won't go away

This little annoying box that aways pops up wanting permission to store things onto my laptop pops up and will not go away. How do I get rid of it? I have tried the settings box, checking the tiny box for it to not ask again but it keeps popping up anyways.

Websites might occasionally want to store information, such as your high score from a game that runs in  Flash Player or what products you have purchased, to your computer. In the Global Storage Settings panel, you can control how much disk space websites can use to store information, or you can prohibit websites from storing any information at all. (If you prohibit websites from storing information, the website might or might not function as intended.)
Use this panel to specify the default storage settings for websites that you haven't yet visited. (To change settings for websites you have already visited, use the Website Storage Settings panel.) The following list explains the storage options:
If you don't want to let applications from any website save information on your computer, and you don't want to be asked again, select Never Ask Again. This action doesn't delete any information that is already stored. (To delete existing information, use the Delete options in the Website Storage Settings panel.)
If you want to decide on a case-by-case basis whether applications from a website can save information on your computer, move the slider to the far left (None). Each time an application wants to save information on your computer, you will be asked for more disk space.
If you want to let applications from any website save as much information on your computer as they need to, move the slider to the far right (Unlimited).
If you want to let applications from any website save information on your computer, but want to limit the amount of disk space they can use, move the slider to select 10 KB, 100 KB, 1 MB, or 10 MB. If an application needs more space than you have allotted, you will be asked for more disk space while the application is running.
(Flash Player 8 and later) If you do not want to let third-party content store information on your computer, deselect Allow Third-Party Content To Store Data On Your Computer.
When you visit a website, the address shown in the browser address bar is usually where most of the website is located. For example, if you visit a fictional website www.[hotel].com, most of the website is located at www.[hotel].com. Sometimes, websites combine content from different sources. For example, www.[hotel].com might display a reservations form in Flash that actually comes from [reservations.hotel].com. The content from the latter website is called third-party content.
Third-party content might try to store information on your computer. In the hotel reservations example, you might be willing to let [reservations.hotel].com store information on your computer, such as data about which hotels you prefer, so that you can make a hotel reservation. However, you might not be willing to let third-party content store information on your computer in other situations. For example, a car-rental company, www.[my-car-rental].com, might have a banner ad on www.[hotel].com, to track your website usage or to record your preferences.
To prohibit all third parties from storing information on your computer, deselect Allow Third-Party Content To Store Data On Your Computer. This option is available only with Flash Player 8 and later. Adobe recommends that you upgrade to the most recent version of Flash Player available.
(Flash Player 9.0.115.0 and later) If you do not want to store Flash components on your computer, deselect Store Common Flash Components To Reduce Download Times.
Flash Player lets you store common or shared SWF and FLV files and other components from different websites on your computer to significantly reduce download times and allow faster viewing. For example, www.[hotel].com and [reservations.hotel].com might both use the same Adobe components on their sites.
For an overview of issues related to storage, see What are storage settings? in the discussion of the Settings Manager. (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.htm l)

  • When trying to update Adobe Flash the download box pops up but it never lists the Adobe update file. Meanwhile a prompt at the bottom of my screen pops up and says "download complete"

    Firefox 6.0.2
    Windows XP
    no matter how I try to update the download never shows up in the downloads box. A box pops up at the bottom of my screen and says "all downloads finished" but it never shows up in my downloads list so I am never given the option to "run".
    I was able to find it manually in the download list but I have no idea why it will not pull up correctly when doing an auto update.

    AA9 is not compatible with Reader. It is probably best to uninstall Reader and then repair AA9 (Help>Repair). Also, when you install you should generally be logged in as the administrator and have anti-virus disabled.
    For the updates, it may be best to simply go to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows, download the updates, and install them in order. A new system may be the problem, particularly if it is Win8 and 64 bit, you did not say. For 64-bit systems, the updates are critical (I think AA9 works on 64-bit systems after the updates). For AA X, it required 10.1 for 64-bits.
    Also, if you updated OFFICE, then expect to only print to the Adobe PDF printer. AA9 does not work with PDF Maker on the newer versions of OFFICE.
    If you uninstall AA9 for some reason (I don't recommend except as a last resort), then be sure to remove the Acrobat folder and run the cleaner (http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html) before a reboot and reinstall.

    A website says I need Adobe Flash Player. I selected the version to download (power-pc based Macs, not Intel-based Macs...just took a guess) and when I click to download it a message says "Safari can't download this file."
    What should I do?

  • Flash Player Settings box Won't Close

    Hi! I'm using windows 7, Internet Explorer. For months now nearly every time I try to watch a video the "adobe flash player settings" box pops up with the "allow/deny" screen. Whichever I click, the box won't go away. The whole video will play with that box right in the middle, blocking the screen. How do I close this box? I can't even move it out of the way.
    I've searched for an answer, but apparently I'm the only one in the world with this problem because I can't find this topic when I search on google or yahoo.

    The problem is related to our anti-clickjacking logic.  Because there are pixels changing around the dialog, we think that something may be obscuring the dialog when you click, so we don't register it as valid.
    The dialog is coming up because you've set a non-default setting in Flash (probably restricting the ability of sites to store Local Shared Objects on your computer).  The easiest way to get around this problem is to just get rid of the dialog entirely by allowing LSOs.  You can do this by going to Control Panel > Flash Player > Storage> Allow sites to save information on this computer.
    This control comes from way back in the '90s, when marketers were abusing this capability of Flash to track consumer behavior by storing unique identifiers.  While this technique is still used to some degree, the capabilities of HTML5 and server-side fingerprinting have far outstripped Flash's usefulness as a tracking technology for marketers in both ease and resilience.  So, while you can still disable LSOs on your computer, it offers you very little in terms of privacy in 2015, and it degrades the user experience significantly.
    Instead, when you do want to use Flash Player without accumulating information that might later be used to track you, use your browser's Private/Incognito browsing mode.  Flash Player will still be allowed to store things on your computer (so the content runs as expected with no degradation in the experience), but it all goes into a temporary location that's destroyed when you exit the browsing session.

  • [ADOBE]  Resolving Windows Flash Player permission-related issues 9/2007

    Printable, formatted versions of these steps, valid as of
    9/15/2007 are available. I recommend printing them and following
    along with the print version:
    .doc:
    http://www.supportflash.com/bent/flash_player_ocx_troubleshooting.doc
    .pdf:
    http://www.supportflash.com/bent/flash_player_ocx_troubleshooting.pdf
    The issue is this: You have multiple accounts on your XP
    machine. One account plays Flash no problem, the other doesn't,
    although both are Administrator accounts. Or possibly you have only
    one account, and that account fails to play any Flash content. In
    any case if you have ANY odd trouble with the Flash Player ActiveX
    control for Windows as of September 2007, these should be your
    steps. And yes, you need to do both sets of steps, in order!
    The cause: This is usually caused by either or BOTH of the
    following problems:
    1. Leftover locked bits of an old Flash Player installation
    2. Registry permission errors (aka 'ACL's)
    OK so what do you do about this?
    ONE: Identify possibly leftover Flash player bits
    a. Open C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash folder.
    b. Download the latest FP uninstaller from
    http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157.
    c. Run the uninstaller. If you get a notice saying you need
    to reboot, then reboot.
    d. Look at C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash folder.
    e. Does any file ending in .ocx remain? (flash.ocx,
    flasha.ocs, flash9d.ocx etc...)
    e1. If no, then you don't usually have any leftover locked
    bits.
    You're done with this part of the problem, proceed to TWO.
    e2. If yes, then that remaining .ocx file may be locked.
    Right click it
    and select properties and look at the version tab.
    What is the version number?
    f. Is the version number Flash Player 9.0.16.0 or earlier?
    f1. Use the uninstaller instructions from this technote:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/4da116d3
    -- section "Flash Player 9.0.16.0 and earlier"
    -- DO NOT re-register the uninstaller. ONLY do this
    UninstFl.exe part.
    Yes, you'll need to know how to use the command line to do
    this. If you're not
    comfortable with that then take your machine to someone who
    is!
    g. Is the version number Flash Player 9.0.28.0 or higher?
    g1. Use the uninstaller instructions from this technote:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/4da116d3
    -- section "Flash Player 9 (9.0.28.0) and later"
    -- DO NOT re-register the uninstaller. ONLY do this
    UninstFl.exe part.
    In both the D and E sections above you'll need to use the
    specific name of the control that remains
    in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash. So if you had a
    stuck flash9b.ocx[DJM1] in the folder
    and version was 9.0.28.0, your uninstall command would look
    like this:
    UninstFl.exe -u
    c:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9b.ocx
    That said, if you have trouble running these commands it
    really is necessary to find someone who knows how
    to use the command line, either a friend or a local
    professional. Or spend some time learning about the
    command line yourself.
    h. RERUN the uninstaller you downloaded earlier. This should
    get rid of the remaining (now unlocked) .ocx file and fix any
    registry keys associated with it.
    ALL of section "ONE: Identify possibly leftover Flash player
    bits" is important. BUT this locked bit problem only happens on
    maybe one out of 50 machines. So most people with installation
    problems such as this are not going to have locked bits.
    AND even after reinstalling you may still have continued
    problems with Flash Player not being recognized.
    Then we have to move on to section two..
    TWO: Registry Permission Problems
    We have been working on Flash Player failures caused by
    Windows System Registry issues. We have not been able to determine
    what’s causing these permissions to change. But that change
    prevents the successful installation of Flash Player ActiveX
    control (used by IE Windows).
    Registry permission problems can be resolved using a tool
    called SubInACL, built by Microsoft to correct system registry
    issues.
    Symptoms: What to look for:
    1. If you install Flash Player on IE and are unable to see
    Flash content on any webpage
    2. After installation C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
    will have flash 9c.ocx in it but it failed to register
    3. It appears that Flash Player installed correctly, but
    unable to view Flash content
    4. Flash Player works on other browsers, but NOT Internet
    Explorer
    5. If you are missing groups in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Advanced
    Permissions
    6. If you have run registry cleaners in the past, this may
    have corrupted your system
    Warning: The following solution involves the Windows System
    Registry. Editing or manipulating the registry incorrectly can
    result in serious system damage which may require re-installation
    of the operating system. If you are not comfortable editing the
    registry, then take your system to a professional. If you choose to
    proceed, then it is essential that you create a complete system
    backup and a Windows System Restore Point before proceeding. Adobe
    Systems cannot be held responsible for damage resulting from this
    information.
    1. Select Start > Run
    2. Type in “regedit”
    3. Right click on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
    4. Select Permissions
    5. Select Advanced
    For Vista
    Compare your permissions with the ones in this screenshot.
    http://www.supportflash.com/vista_key.png
    For Window XP Pro or other flavors of XP
    Compare your permissions with the ones in this document
    “Troubleshooting system registry issues that prevent Flash
    Player installation” (scroll down to the bottom of page).
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=kb400116
    Notice any major differences, missing groups, incorrect
    permissions?
    How can you repair the System Registry, what's the fix
    Download SubInACL from Microsoft to fix permission issues
    that prevent the Flash Player Installation.
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=fb1634cb
    NOTE: The Microsoft version of the .cmd script run by
    SubInACL is not be run on any XP version other than Pro. HOWEVER,
    the Adobe .cmd script in the above technote is tested safe for ALL
    VERSIONS OF XP!!!
    If you have a Windows System Registry permission issue that
    sounds like the one described above, SubINACL may be the solution.
    Please note that if you have this issue on multiple accounts on one
    machine you’ll need to fix each account individually.

    that it it's a problem with my computer and they can't help me.
    I tried the first step above and it does seem that I have a

    is 9.0.115.0 is the trouble is I can't complete the fix. Can you

  • Adobe Flash Player Installer Box Showing Up Blank?

    My laptop is running Windows 7 and I'm trying to install the newest version of Adobe's Flash Player for Firefox 14.0.0.125. Everything goes fine until I get to the Adobe Flash Player Installer box, it just shows up as a blank black box. I've retried many times now and the Installer box still shows up blank. I've even waited to see if it was maybe just slow downloading but I've had the Installer window open for at least an hour now and It's still blank. Is this an issue with my laptop and if so can I get help with it or is this an issue with the Adobe website?

    Yes, it's fine for your Mac ...
    Most sites such as YouTube require the Flash plugin.
    Flash isn't a player per se, but a plugin.
    Sometimes uninstalling the current plugin then reinstalling new can help.

    Make sure and uninstall the old plugin first then restart your Mac.

    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.

  • I download adobe flash player for my macbook pro, but nothing that requires adobe flash player works

    i download adobe flash player for my macbook pro, but nothing that requires adobe flash player works. i haven"t tried much, but only because i have no idea what to do.

    After you've installed Flash Player (you have to mount the disk image by double-clicking and the double-click the insatller package) restart your browser and go to youTube, for example, -> http://www.youtube.com/ - and see if the videos play.
    Call back if you need any further help.

  • 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.
