Flash Player Runs Very Poorly on Some Sites

Does anyone else have this issue? Its been pretty much years now and I dont get it. Why doesnt it get fixed if its not just me. I have a hp computer with win 7. core i7, 10gb ram, plenty of power etc. I cannot get ticketmaster pages with the choose your own seats to ever run smoothly. its so darn choppy i cant use firefox to ever search. Also have that issue on say ticketnetwork.com when searching for seats. I know ticketnetwork is using flash and im pretty sure ticketmaster is also. IE works fine as does chrome. is there a solution to fix this?

Hi bjo16,
Thank you for your question. Currently you have two installations of the Shockwave Flash player. Please uninstall the older version to see if there are improvements.

  • Adobe 10.2 flash player doesn't work on some site with diff browsers

    WTF! I've been through every forum about new adobe flash player it doesnt work on some site i.e facebook, ustream, fox news, dailymotion and cartoon network...Nobody, not even adobe has a real solution to this problem! Some site stream good other don't at all. All I get is a blue box in the display sometimes it loads, but doesn't play the video or games. Updated Java and SWF and by the way this a brand new computer fresh out the box WIN7 64 worked before why not now! I've reinstall and uninstall, checked active X java scripting, and global settings and so on, but nothing seems to work. WHY? Global settings doesn't work for some unknown reason can't enable some of the settings. Everything work fine on my PC before the update, so go figure adobe. No! browser works with the new flash player properly. Fire, IE, Safari, and Opera none of these browser work with the flash player like it should! HELP!!! "I see why apple doesnt wont to have anything to do with adobe flash."

    I don't understand - in your post you mention "new Flash Player" several times, but in the subject you mention 10.2...?
    What is the exact FP version you have?
    For your blue box problem, have you tried to disable Hardware Acceleration?

  • Flash Player 10 not working in some sites, working fine in others

    Lately I've been having problems viewing videos with Flash Player on many sites in which they viewed fine previously. What I see is a solid black rectangle the size of the video screen. No Player controls. Nothing. I have looked at the page code, but found nothing out of the ordinary. The system on this machine is XP Pro with SPII, and the problem occurs whether using IE 8 or Firefox 3.6.3. The "about" display showed that I had Falsh Player 10.0.32.18 installed on my system, so I downloaded 10.0.45.2 and installed it, hoping that would resolve the problem. Nope.
    Presently, going to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ via either IE of Firefox shows that I have version 10.0.45.2 properly installed. The animation plays fine in both browsers.
    Today a friend of mine graduated from Temple University in Japan, The graduation cerimony was streamed live (3:30 in the morning my time). I could not watch it. That site was http://www.tuj.ac.jp/graduation2010/video.html The hosting site is UStream, specifically http://www.ustream.tv/channel/tuj-2010-graduation I cannot get any videos on UStream to open. All I see is a black rectangle. My friend's mother had no problem wathing the cerimony with Firefox on her laptop.
    Other sites that worked fine recently but no longer ply videos at all on this system are Fox News and NBC News. I have no problem watching Al Jazeera news videos, but their videos post on UTube. I have no problem watching videos on UTube. BBC news videos also run fine, as do videos from many other sites. It makes no difference if I accept or block cookies on the sites that cnnot play the videos. What is different about these sites than the others?
    I have read two related threads here, Problem  with sites not loading Flash... and Flash  videos not working on espn.com in any browser , but neither of them had any relevant help to my problem. Re: Flash videos not working on espn.com in any browser Re: Player won't startThe second thread concerned a problem loading videos from ESPN, giving the site
    http://espn.go.com/video/category?id=3461971 as an example. but I have no problem watching videos on that site or any other videos on ESPN. Instructions given in the first thread said to delete several files from the C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash folder, but I had none of the files lilsted.
    Is there somthing in my Registry that needs to be tweaked? Is there someting that my antivirus program (Bitstream) may have whacked? I really would like to fix this problem.
    Thanks — Tony

    you seem to want to do everything
    you can to work around BitDefender
    I gave you my BitDefender work-around to help you in dealing with others who have a conflict with Flash Player and BitDefender, not because I was trying to make Flash Player conform to BitDefender. When I first wrote in yesterday I did not know BitDefender was the problem. You've indicated that may well be the case. I'm trying to work with BitDefender to fix their program before their next release, and they are trying to work with me. If BitDefender breaks Flash Player, than it should be in Adobe's interest to get BitDefender to stop breaking Flash Player, as well as Microsoft's and Mozilla's if BitDefender breaks their browsers. I'm just caught in the middle.
    The last thing you asked was for me to go to the Flash test sight. You said, "If you don't have the SWF plug-in, this test should tell you." I replied that all I could assertain from the site was that I had version 10.0.45.2 installed — no mention of the SWF plug-in. Did that mean I had the SWF plug-in installed? I don't know.
    You asked —
    If you have the Anti-Virus
    component of Ad-Aware disabled, then why even have it Installedt
    I found Ad-Aware to be an excellent spy-ware blocker. That's what I bought it for back before they added in there own antivirus program. Upgrading to the latest version of Ad-Aware included the antivirus program, whether I wanted it or not. I didn't, so I ticked the check-box to disable it. It seems what were once good programs by themselves now try to be all-encompassing, jack-of-all-trades suites.
    I liked Norton antivirus when Peter Norton was the creative force behind the program, but later iterations created havoc with my systems, so I looked for a replacement antivirus program. BitDefender had a far superior antivirus program to most others on the market when I first bought it. All I wanted in upgrading to its latest version was an improved  antivirus engine, but like Ad-Aware, it has now tried to add in too many features, such as the browser toolbars. I have uninstalled BitDefender several times. The problems it created remained, leaving holes in my Registry where there once were entries, blocking Photoshop's licensing files. You indicated you had worked with other's who had conflicts with Flash Player and BitDefender.
    I'll get that info on BitDefender,
    while you are checking on some of these items.
    That would have been great — really the help I would have used.
    At the end of your previous e-mail you said —
    You have several issues that need
    addressed, so we'll take one at a time.
    We never even got to the first one. The next thing you said was —
    It appears you discount anything I
    suggest or fail to give it a try.
    I don't know what I discounted that you suggested. I thoguht I was doing  everything you asked. I do appreciate your taking the time to work with me on a Sunday.

  • Flash Player 11 not working on some sites

    Flash works fine in most cases but on some web sites I receive "The requested media player requires Macromedia Flash software. You have an old version of Macromedia Flash Player that cannot play the content we've created" and says to download and install the latest Flash player. The Adobe Flash Player site says Flash is working fine with the latest version installed. I went through the troubleshooting on the Adobe Flash player site plus others I found (uninstall/reinstall Flash, ActiveX off, Add-On enabled, etc). Did the "reset_fp11.bat.zip" Windows permission problem fix - no good. Tried all I could find - hopefully something stupid I haven't checked but tried my best! Checked the Guest account but same problem. Turned off antivirus - no good. But when I tried the 64-bit IE it plays with no problem. My wife has an essentially identical computer and it works fine in IE 32-bit version on these same sites. Windows 7 64 bit, Flash Version 11.3.300.270, Internet Explorer 9.

    Just to close this issue.  The next day, without me doing anything at all, everything seems to
    be working from this site.  Maybe the site did something to adjust to the new Flash version?

  • When using Flash Player 11.4 and IE9, some sites display "Page cannot be displayed"

    I am also having the similar problem with IE9 on windows 7 x64. IE9 showing "Page canno tbe displayed" for some of the sites (one of them is netbanking site for ICICI), however if I disable the shockwave flash object in addons, everything works fine just flash content is not dispalyed.
    I tried every bit of setting for other browser these sites are working. I tried chrome.
    Any solution? I already on the latest flash playe.
    It is very annoying to first disable the flash then access these sites and then reenable it.

    Jeromie/Chris-
    Appreciate the effort to create this util, but this isn't a valid solution.  Up until 11.3, there was no issue installing Flash regardless of the user profile that you were logged in as.  That obviously changed in one of the 11.4 builds.  Considering Flash is one of the MOST attacked and exploited pieces of code on user's PCs; as evidenced by all of the updates, these updates need to be quick and seemless without all of the extra steps which you are describing.  Please dedicate some staff to review the code and figure out where the permissions problem is so all of us can stop wasting our time with this issue.  Your installer should be able to write the necessary ACLs to eliminate this problem without having us jump through all of these extra hoops.
    Again the problem stems from the fact that our users run as standard users and do not have rights to install software.  Keeps our network nice an clean for the most part.  Whenever staff visits a PC, they apply the latest version of Java and Flash using an admin account.  Until version 11.4 this worked fine.  Now if we are not logged in as the user (all accounts are in AD domain) it will appear to work fine, until the user logs back in.  The solution we have found is to uninstall Flash, login as user accout and install with elevated perms.

  • Retina Display Support not working with Flash Player run applets

    When running flash player run websites (e.g. games or Youtube) the flash player applet fails to render for the Retina Display in the new Firefox 18 (although websites render for the retina display).
    Flash player renders everything including flash applets for the retina display in other browsers (Safari, Chrome)

    Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
    Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
    If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
    To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

  • My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words.

    My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
    I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
    HELP PLEASE
    Very worried!!

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

  • How to install adobe flash player through command line with some script

    Hi Guys,
    Do you know how to install adobe flash player through command line with some script?
    Thanks,
    Galina

    Windows. I tried silent install  with "install_flash_player.exe /install" but it works only with one file that I downloaded from adobe.com - "install_flashplayer10_mssd_aih.exe". But it is possible to download this last file only one time, every next time it redirects me to download install_flash_player.exe file.

  • Flash Player Doesn't Play on Some Websites. I have the NSZ-GS7 Sony Internet with Google Tv/play

    Flash Player Doesn't Play on Some Websites. I can see the play button and volume etc but selecting play doesnt do anything on some websites. I have the NSZ-GS7 Sony Internet Player with Google Tv/Google Play. I installed the latest firmware and I believe it carries Flashplayer 10.2.164.113
    I can only watch some programs on au.tv.yahoo.com/plus7 . This website supports Flashplayer 10+ and also supports Google Play. So I do not understand why I cant watch. Do I just need to change some settings?
    Also, cant watch on www.jump-in.com.au/ and I can see a still image of the video, i can see the big play button in the middle but selecting it will not do anything.
    Please help

    Hi Mike, Thanks for your response. Alteast you were able to give me a more educated answer. Unlike Sony Tech Support.
    I typed chrome://plugins" in the address bar but that didnt do anything and just gave me blank white screen.
    I did manage to get into the settings for Google Chrome another way and found the Plugins window but there was no option to "Always Allow". The only option I had was to either Enable or Disable.
    I read something somewhere about changing a setting for the Unsandboxed plugin to "Always Allow". But I havent been able to get to this plugin in the setting options in Chrome.
    Looks like I will be returning the product and getting myself an Apple TV device instead and use my Iphone to Airplay.
    Thanks

  • Why is Flash Player play back poor now?

    Flash Player has been poor for me lately under Snow Leopard. Video intermittantly skips on all playbacks (audio is fine), including on YouTube. All system updates applied. I even used Combo udpaters when available. FlashPlayer is updated. Emptied caches etc using AppleJack. Even used DiskWarrior. Everything is working fine but FlashPlayer. Same problem under all browsers. (iMac Intel, 2 GB RAM, 2.0 GHZ)
    Interestingly, on the same machine using web browser in WindowsXP (under Parallels) that Flash is working fine.

    As stated in my post, Flash Player is working fine in my WindowsXP emulation of Parallels 7 on the same machine with only part of my iMac's RAM assigned to it. What is wrong with this picture?
    What's "wrong" IMO is that windows allocates resources and/or prioritizes processes differently than OSX.  Yes, OSX may be underlying Parallels but I don't know how Parallels works with respect to accessing OSX resources and prioritizing it's processes within OSX.

  • I have an iPad2 I need adobe flash player or simaler 2down load some of my craft sites and other sites that need adobe how can I get them

    I Have an iPad 2and need adobe flash player or something that works the same 2use on some of my sites I use as the iPad2 doesnt support adobe what can I use

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
      1. Puffin
      2. SkyFire
      3. Photon Flash
      4. Browse2Go
      5. Swifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

  • Why won't Adobe flash player run on my Macbook?

    I go to the CNN site and their videos don't run. Instead they leave a message telling me to get Adobe Flash player, which I have done, apparently successfully, at least a dozen times. I've also uninstalled it and installed it again. This is an endless loop and I would be very happy to exit and watch the videos on the site or that people send me. Can anyone help me, please? I have a Macbook from about 2006, OS X 10.6.8. 2 Ghz Core 2 Duo. 1 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.
    Many thanks.

  • Flash Player 10 not working in specific sites

    Before today I'm not sure which version of the Flash Player I had but when Firefox opened today there was a message that I needed to upgrade to version 10 so I did.
    After that, when I went to view a video on Rite Aid Video Values I only get that little box in the corner and a message that the video won't play.
    I also checked in IE8 and it won't play there also.  (I don't know if it isn't working anywhere else because I didn't check.)
    What I did -
    I went to Older Version and I removed all of the Flash Player installations and I downloaded version 9 because that was what the Rite Aid site said that I needed minimally.
    That didn't work. It appeared to download but it wan't in my programs.
    So I did a System Restore but that brought me back to version 10.
    ARRGHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    And the videos still won't play.
    So - how do I fix this?
    I am running Windows XP Home on a PC.  Firefox (latest) and IE8.
    Thank you!

    Hi eidnolb,
    I don't really understand your request regarding BBC iplayer. Not sure what is involved in allowing third party content. But more importantly, I think, you may have misunderstood. iplayer works on all user accounts, as does the test utility on Adobe's site, as does YouTube. It is just some sites that do not work, such as the "trumpet" site. As another example here are two sites hosting the same Flash game:
    http://www.ninjakiwi.com/Games/Tower-Defense/Play/Bloons-Tower-Defense-4.html
    http://www.y8.com/games/Bloons_Tower_Defense_4
    The second site works on all accounts. The first site works only on my main account. On the other accounts the first site, again, shows only a white box with an icon in the top left.
    But what I like about the trumpet site is it is such a simple piece of code. Nothing complex at all. yet it works on one account and not another. Yet Flash clearly works on all accounts as Youtube, iPlayer, the Adobe test tool and the Y8 version of the game above all work!
    It is also interesting to me that with the troublesome user accounts it is the same sites that do not work. It suggests it is something to do with those sites interacting with unknown account settings that is causing the problem and not some cached data. It is unlikely all accounts but one (my main one) would have the same corrupt cached data for the same sites.
    I tried resetting IE8 settings to the defaults (Tools/Advanced/Reset) on my Guest account which disabled just about all add-ons and should have cleared up any other strange IE8 config issue, but the problem remains exactly as before!
