Flash player preferences keep changing

Hi everybody,
My Flash Player preferences (in the preferences pane) keep returning to the default settings after i have made changes to the settings. It seems to take about a week between the time i set the preferences till they return back to the default settings.
As an example, about a week ago i set the "Storage" tab to "Block all sites from storing information on this computer." Last night i checked the preferences and this same tab had been changed back to the default choice, "Allow sites from storing information on this computer." Same thing for the "Camera and Mic" tab, i check the "block all sites", then in a week or so it goes back to "Ask me."
This is occuring across all the tabs in the Flash Player preferences.
Any ideas?
Paul

FredtheRed,
This discussion is almost two years old - and, hopefully, the OP had his/her problem 'fixed' sometime between those years.
Which version of Flash Player are you using and what exactly are your problems?

  • Flash Player preference settings keep changing

    Under System Preferences, my Flash Player settings keep changing every so often (every few weeks or so), in the Storage, Camera and Mic and Playback tabs.
    I have all three tabs set to Block and the settings change to Allow or Ask me.
    Why is this happening and what can I do to stop it?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    This solved my problem partially, all I want is that Firefox keeps my Flash saves while I clear the history log.
    Your way works too, now, instead of clearing the history log through the browser, I use CCleaner.

    Hello,
    The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.

    Flash player 11.1 hack on PowerPC - https://discussions.apple.com/message/16990862
    Might be later ones around also... saw 11.3 I think.
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
    You should also consider the Shockwave Player, which displays Web content that has been created by Adobe Director, much used for multimedia: For PPC Macs:  http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/

  • Flash Player download keeps failing with lost connection and then gives up.  satellite Internet connection

    Win XP. Firefox 34.0.5 (latest)
    The Flash  Player download keeps failing with lost connection and then gives up.I am on a  satellite Internet connection.
    It seems to be extremely slow even when loading the installer which is only 1MB. Then when I run the installer and it starts to download the installation there are frequent messages about losing the connection and then finally gives up.
    I have had problems with other software failing when I am on a satellite link. This is most likely because of the huge latency which may be taken as a link failure. Ping times are typically 800ms but can be 2000ms sometimes!

    Hello,
    The online shim installer, which you are using actually downloads and installs Flash Player silently in the background.  If your satelite connection is experiencing latency issues it could result in the failure to download.  Please try the full installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page, in the 'Still having problems' section.

    The "Install Flash Player.app keeps popping up on my desktop even after ejecting it - I'm running MacOS 10.9 and a registered user of Creative Cloud. The install app is an older version and won't install because I'm already running a newer version. How do I get rid of this installer?

  • Update Flash Player  Preferences

    My favorite webpage is requiring me to update Flash Player more and more often.
    Every time I update, I am forced to select an Update Preference.
    It would be useful if the selection choice from the previous installation were saved so that I wouldn't have to change it every time.

    Hi Mr X.
    Not sure what to take away from your reply.
    So, you're saying that the auto update doesn't apply to the latest version.  I'll keep an eye open for that if it's ever offered for the next, latest version.  I've never seen it in action before, and changing the Auto Update option to my desired choice is getting tedious.  (Did I already say that?)
    Having my chosen setting [effectively] reversed every time there's an update is also offensive.  The problem should be rectified.
    > I don't think that your favorite webpage require v11.5, so it should not be a problem for you.
    Sorry, but my favorite "flash audio player" wouldn't open twice in the last one or two weeks, but only gave a message saying that Flash had to be updated first, yadda yadda.  I wouldn't lie about something like that.  The message said explicitly, "Requires updating to v11.5.xxwhatever-beta."  Today, they wanted the 2nd update, and it was no longer whatever-beta.  If I said it was required, I don't know why you would assume I'm probably wrong.
    In both instances, updating brought the flash audio player back to life.  Updating was required, twice, in fairly quick succession.
    Although you also say "it should not be a problem for me, it *was.*  Evidence my undertaking navigating adobe's incredibly awkward, non-standard, uniquely complex, and user-unfriendly website.  It's not something I would do willingly, but ONLY IF adobe was "a problem for me."
    Yes, I would prefer if the URL of the audio stream were made available so I wouldn't have to deal with a user-unfriendly blight like Flash.  But since the URL is not available, Flash *is* being a problem for me.  That's why I'm here.  Is it coalescing?
    Yeh, this whole thing was sufficiently problematic that I felt it should be addressed.  I might go so far as to suggest that if it is a problem for me, then there really is a problem.  I shouldn't have to defend my opinion that a there is a problem when adobe neglects to confirm the usability of their product(s).
    In summary, I agree with you Mr X.  I shouldn't have a problem.  Thanks for your help.

  • IE 10 vs Adobe reader XI and Adobe flash player 11 keeps asking to update flash player

    Today, I got fed up with chrome and uninstalled it. I then installed IE 10. I also installed adobe reader XI (11.0.02) and adober flash player 11.
    Both installed successfully!
    However, when trying to view short videos I keep getting the message that I need to update flashplayer.
    So what is going on? Do I need to revert back to IE 9?????????
    I am running windows 7 on and HP decktop.

  • Adobe Flash Player Installer keeps popping up

    Every few minutes a get a pop up of the Adobe Flash Player Installer asking me if I want to install the latest version.
    I have already the latest version.
    I have already uninstalled the Flash Player and reinstalled it. I have done this several times using the Windows Control Panel Uninstall Program. I have also used the Adobe uninstaller tool from the Adobe website.
    I have already configured Adobre Flash Player to never update.
    I have already googled for this, apparently not so uncommon, issue.
    Running Windows 7 x64, Internet Explorer 10, Chrome
    Thanks,

    Hello Chris,
    Sorry for the late reply. I only saw the first part of your message days ago. Perhaps it has been edited since.
    This problem keeps happening and it is truly a nightmare. I have tried other things including going to the Registry (which I have not altered).
    In response to your question:
    1. In Windows Task Manager I see
    1.a:  InstallFlashPlayer.exe *32 Description: Adobe® Flash® Player Installer/Uninstaller 11.6 r602. Location: C:\Users\Antonio\AppData\Local\Temp\{513974BF-C40D-4C4D-9367-A59EECC45B2D} and
    1.b: FP_AX_CAB_INSTALLER64.exe *32 (Adobe® Flash® Player Installer/Uninstaller 11.6 r602)  C:\Users\Antonio\AppData\Local\Temp\ICD7.tmp
    This second one, I did not see before. It has appeared after I reinstalled Flash Player at the request of Adobe Acrobat when converting to pdf an email that, apparently, contained Flash.
    2. From Process Explorer
    2.a. For InstallFlashPlayer.exe: Parent: FP_AX_CAB_INSTALLER64.exe(5108)
    Curent Directory: C:\Users\Antonio\AppData\Local\Temp\ICD7.tmp\

    Path: C:\Users\Antonio\AppData\Local\Temp\ICD7.tmp\FP_AX_CAB_INSTALLER64.exe
    One clarification: The installer does not show up at regular intervals. Sometimes it shows up every few minutes and sometimes it takes longer to appear.
    Thank you very much for your help

  • My Adobe Flash Player Plugin keeps crashing. Annoying

    I play games from the developer Zynga and I keep getting Adobe Flash Player plugin has crashed. I downloaded Mozilla Firefox thinking that I would have more luck with it than IE. Not so far. What can I do to correct this?

    Reloading the page will often get the video, game or animation to play again.
    If Flash continues to crash, updating to the latest version of Flash should fix the issue.
    As this has been happening to you for a long time, try this too...
    Go to this Flash help page on adobe.com.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html?promoid=ISMRY
    Right-click on the box that lists your Flash player version and then click Settings… in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel.
    Remove the check mark from Enable hardware acceleration.
    Click Close to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    Restart Firefox.

  • Adobe Flash player plugin keeps crashing/Updating not working.

    Almost everyday the plug-in keeps crashing which is very annoying. Updating it did not work as there are missing plug-ins and when installing them, you have to install by manual but when downloaded theres no way to open and run the missing plug-in

  • Flash player update keeps failing

    I have been using flash player for years. A couple of days ago I started to get messages when I tried to play YouTube etc saying I needed to update FP.
    I have tried updating many times and after each download/install it says it is successful and the latest version is running. But I still get the message saying it needs updating when I try to play YouTube etc.
    I have tried everything on the Help pages - closing down antivirus- uninstalling - etc, but nothing works. When I check for successful installation I get no picture in the box so it's obviously not installed. What can I do?? (I seemed to get Chrome installed the first time I tried with FP.)

    My computer is Compaq Presario CQ57.  CPU Intel Pentium B970 2.3 GHz. 64 bit OS.
    Windows 7 Home Premium copyright 2009
    Internet Explorer 9  Version 9.0.8112.16421
    I am trying to download Flash Player 11.7.700.169 64 bit MSIE.
    When I try to play videos from Facebook I get the message: "FLASH PLAYER UPGRADE REQUIRED; YOU MUST DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE LATEST VERSION OF ADOBE FLASH PLAYER TO VIEW THIS CONTENT" There is a button marked "GET FLASH PLAYER" which I click on to download.
    After screen message says download and installation is complete, I get message: "FLASH PLAYER INSTALLATION SUCCESSFUL"
    But I still get the same message regarding upgrade when I try to play from Facebook. No change.

    Thankyou

    Success in installing Adobe Flash Player 17.0 at last.  The problem was the little gray box on the installation box that you have to click on which will acknowledge you have read the terms and conditions for installing the program!
