Well, is there any Adobe programs you don't have? LOL, maybe I should have asked that:-) Thanks for the info. It is revealing and curious as well.
You have the Adobe Flash Player plugin (non-IE browsers-FF), but not the Shockwave Flash Control in your browser plugins.
You don't have the Adobe Flash Player ActiveX in Add/Remove, but you DO have the Shockwave Flash Object Control in your IE browser. Hmmmm How or why that happened, I don't know. Some glitch when Uninstalling/Installing FP, I would guess.
I see the Adobe download Manager as well (DLM) and can see that you would need that for certain Adobe programs. Since Flash Player is a browser plugin(ActiveX for IE and Plugins for the non-IE browsers) and the download is under 3MB it is better not to use it. However, I am more interested in the addons that the DLM used for FP Installs.
Go to Tools, Manage addons and look under "Show"(light text) in all categories and see if you have a getplus, get_atlcom Class or a DLM Control listed. Look in the Toolbar & Extensions also.
Do the same with FF, plugins, addons and extensions.
On the FlashPlayerTrust, go back to your Flash files, right click on it and open and see what files are listed.
Let me know on the above and did I ask you what Anti-Virus you use? If not, let me know that also.
Thanks,
eidnolb

    Your Mac is definitely one of the supported models? http://www.apple.com/uk/osx/specs/
    If so, what happens when you try to download? Is it a case of nothing happens? If so, take a look at the suggestions under 'Stalled Download' in this link:
    http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/10/mavericks-issues-and-fixes/#slideid-23477 1
    Also, some usrs have found that logging out of the Mac App Store and then back in again and starting over has kick-started the download. It seems that the 5+gb download can take a long time to give any feedback as to what's happening.

  • When I open Creative Cloud there is only a thinking wheel and nothing else. I have downloaded it again but still doesn't work. I want Lightroom and it keeps saying I need this to download it.

    I have downloaded it again but still doesn't work. I want Lightroom and it keeps saying I need this to download it.

    1.If internet is fine then this might be becase of Creative cloud files, please try the steps metioned in http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/unknown-server-error-launchin g-cc.html and see if it works.
    2.Please navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db and trash it. Try to launch CC desktop and sign in with your Adobe Id (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-f iles.html) .
    {Note for step 2: The file is in the user Library, not the Applications folder. To see the hidden user Library (not the system Library) in the Finder click on the Gomenu item and then hold down the Alt / Option key. You will see Library appear between Home and Computer. Click onLibrary and then navigate toApplication Support > Adobe > OOBE.
    Alternatively open the Terminal and paste in the following and then press the Enter / Return key:
    rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db, This will also delete the file}

  • I lost my connection when I was using internet and when I want to reconnect to airport it give me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

    Hi,
    I lost my airport connection when I was using internet and when I wanted to re-reconnect to airport it gave me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

    Hello there hastibahreini,
    It sounds like you were using your Wi-Fi network from your Airport base station and the connection cut out. You have reset the password on the device but the issue persists. I would try the 3 resets outlined in the following article in order to help resolve the issue. If it persists, is the Wi-Fi connection issue happening on more than one device or computer?

  • The plus sign next to my tab stopped working: when I click on it nothing happens. I tried uninstalling and re-installing and it still doesn't work.

    The + sign to add a new tab suddenly stopped working a while ago. I tried uninstalling and re-installing and it still doesn't work. What may have happened and how do I fix it?

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • When ever the Download window opens firefoxes freezes/stops responding. I can't do anything with it. As soon as it opens, no response. I disabled most of my add-ons but still doesn't work. It's only started recently. Maybe a week or so.

  • HT1212 what happen if you did recovery mode but still doesn't work?

    What happen to my iPod even i run recovery mode done but it still doesn't works?

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer

  • When I try to launch itunes I get an error mesage saying that Apple application support was not found and suggests that I uninstall and re-install it, but that doesn't work

    When I try to launch itunes I get an error mesage saying that Apple application support was not found and suggests that I uninstall and re-install it, but that doesn't work

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    Start with the section Install missing components which should address your particular error. Otherwise the steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • When I try to play youtube video I get the message of blocked plug-in, and I can not play video using Safari. (Youtube works fine with google chrome) I tried installing flash player HTML5 etc... but still no difference.

    I just installed OSX Mountian Lion, and ever since then I can not play youtube video's. I get the message of 'Blocked Plug-in' in the youtube screen. I have tried installing Adobe Flash Player. HTML 5, also tried enabling/disabling java, but nothing worked out. Is there any way I can play youtbe vieos on Safar. (It works fine with Google Chrmoe, only safari has problem)

    If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    Try uninstalling the currently installled Flash plugin (required for most YouTube content) then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now from the menu bar click Develop > Empty Caches

  • Flash Player seems to install but when trying to play tv shows it doesn't register and asks me to install again.

    I have a Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.3, i have no problem viewing videos on youtube but when i try and watch movies or tv shows streaming them off websites, it seems to come up with this message.
    'Please install flash player HD to continue (required),'
    when i click the install button it leads me to this page
    'You are currently using Apple Safari to browse the web. An outdated video player may be slowing the browser's performance.'
    i have tried using safari, firefox and google chrome and all say the same thing.
    i downloaded and installed both the flash player and the one from safari both seemed to install without a problem but when i go back and try and view the video it shows the same message.
    Please help
    Thank you

    Hi oliviay29570750,
    "flash player HD" is not a valid Adobe product.  Flash Player is just known as Flash Player, not Flash Player HD. Can you please post a screenshot (How to post a screenshot in the forum) of the pop-up message and the page you go to when you click on the link (including the URL of the page)?
    Thank you.
