Flash Player Update and Download Problem

I had a message telling me to update my Adobe Flash player, so I tried doing that. Got a message that the update needed to close, so apparently it didn't finish updating.(can't remember the message exactly since I didn't know it was going to lead to this problem). Then I found I could not open my email or other sites requiring Adobe Flash Player. It appeared that Adobe had been removed all together.
I tried downloading Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.268. It starts downloading but in the end gives me an error message saying: "Host Unable to Load Application Configuration". I use Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8. I tried saving Adobe Flash Player to my computer before trying to run it but it won't run when I try to open it...I just get the same Host message.
I tried using System Restore to restore my settings to a date 6 days ago, but after the process completed, I got a message that the process was "incomplete because there had not been any changes to my computer"! Well, there have been changes since I used to have Adobe Flash Player and now I don't, and I can't install and run it, meaning I can't open my email or other sites that require it. Please help me fix this. I'm not a computer wizard. Would appreciate any help!

Could you try downloading and installing the appropriate stand alone installer that you can find here?

Adobe Flash Player Update and Download

On the third and final step of downloading the update, the download stops. What might be causing this?

Try downloading the offline installers:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Flash Player (Mac OS X)

I updated my software today and since have not been able to use some of the games on Facebook. I have installed the flash player 12 and still problems, can anyone give me some advice?

Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox. 
See [[Managing the Flash plugin]] and [[Installing the Flash plugin]]
You can check the Adobe welcome and test page: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

Downloaded a flash player update and got google chrome. How do I get chrome off my computer????????

Once again I didn't notice the google chrome checkbox when I downloaded a flash player update, How do I get chrome off my pc? I don't appreciate being "tricked" into downloading stuff I don't want.

Flash Player has never been allowed on an iPad, and never will. In fact, it's not available on Android devices as well. This is for two reasons: First, Apple (and Steve Jobs in particular) never thought the performance on mobile devices was adequate. Second, Adobe eventually came to the same conclusion, and no longer distributes Flash Player on mobile devices.
The future is in HTML5, CSS and JavaScript. Most sites now don't require Flash Player and offer other ways to stream video.

Flash Player update install/download stops at 2 of 3

I've never had any problems in the past with installing/downloading Adobe Flash Player updates. Now I am. Why? I know Adobe Flash Player is installed on my computer, I've checked to make sure it is enabled and I have also disabled or unchecked the ActiveX filtering too. If I choose not to install Google Chrome for downloading the newest Flash Player update, does this cause the install/download to not complete and stop at 2 of 3 steps? I believe I have unchecked Google Chrome in the past with no issues, but not sure now. I usually have to go in uninstall Google Chrome because it always seems to mess with my Facebook page. So I no longer want Google Chrome installed on my computer because of this.
The install/download never gets to this point so I can finish the install/download because stops at 2 of 3 steps :
Any advise as to what to do now?

Hi,
Based on your screenshot, I'm guessing the 'Save File' option never becomes available. Is that correct. I also see the file being downloaded has '14' in it, which means this is a version 14 file, which you shouldn't be getting as we're up to version 17. I've forwarded this to the folks who handle the online installer to investigate. In the meantime, you can use the offline installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page, in the 'Still having problems' section. There are several installer types for various browsers. You'll want to update Flash Player for all browsers you use, unless you have Windows 8.x in which case, Microsoft embeds Flash Player in IE and prevents installation using the Flash Player installer, as updates are performed via updates to IE.

Why when it requires flash player update and i have downloaded 3 time and it won't work?

facebook- ceaser's games app...says i have to download adbobe flash player whichI have for 3 times and sti,l won't let me in applicaion?

Hi Chynann,
First I'd recommend trying the steps outlined in these FAQs
Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer
ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer
After completing those steps, go to this page and post back with the version reported as being installed.
Flash Player Version
Thanks,

Flash Player update pop-up problem

When I turned on my desktop tonight, there was a pop-up from Adobe about downloading a new (update) download for Adobe Flash Player. I've seen these before and always clicked on them.
After the download I had to go to SpeedTest site and when I went to the site, it mentioned that I needed at least Flash Player 8 to run the program (I knew I had Flash Player 10 installed). I've always been going to this SpeedTest page before with no problems. I remembered I just downloaded the new update for the Flash Player and I went into my Resotre Point, which was done (luckily) this afternoon. I restored my system and when I went back to the SpeedTest page, I was able to run the speed test.
Would anyone know what might have happened?
(BTW - #1- If I ever wanted to uninstall Flash Player, how would that be done? I don't see it in Add/Remove programs. #2- Is there a way to send a support/technical question to Adobe re: Flash Player?)

Flash Player (Plugin or ActiveX) should show on Add/Remove Programs; I don't know why it doesn't on your system.
To uninstall it anyway, you can use the uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html; make sure that all browser windows are closed when you run the uninstaller.

You tube adobe flash player updated and installed ,java script enabled but can't play videos with firefox help

i have movies from you tube in my que but cannot watch them . I have downloaded and installed adobe flash playe ver 10 5 time and it does not work some one with the same problem said mozilla fire fox is not compatible with the new flash player should i go back to internet explore and uninstall firefox? or is this a problem with your server fix this please

There are two different versions of Flash, one version for IE (ActiveX) and another version for all other browsers (Plugin version). You need to install the Plugin version,
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

Flash Player 9 and Safari problems

Okay.... I'm sure someone has already written about this, but
I'm too damn tired to look very far back. I have been trying to
download Flash Player 9 onto my mac and it won't work. It displays
this message "safari cannot find the internet plug-in MIME
application /x-shockwave-flash"
I've tried several things and cannot get it to work. Does
anyone know what to do? This is driving me crazy and my daughter
just wants to go to Webkinz to play with her new B-Day gift!!!!!!
I'm relatively new to Mac so really don't know what to do.
Thanks.

Hi Robin
I noticed this too - but haven't yet found where they are kept.
I notice that in the Flash 'settings manager' the amount of used storage shows as very low for each site - it doesn't reflect the sometimes large swfs that have been loaded. Also going back to a page seems to make the entire flash content be reloaded again - which wasn't the case before, as I recall.

Flash Player 10 and audio problems

Hi all,
this is my first post here. I have a problem with the audio
of some videos in a website. The videos have been made with Flash
Slideshow Maker Professional. With Flash Player 9 everyhting is ok,
the audio is good (the source is mp3), but since I installed Flash
Player 10 it's impossible to listen to the audio. There are a lot
of gaps and rumours, the sound is discontinuous and "damaged".
Some suggestion?
Thanks

You should contact the developers of Flash Slideshow maker as
soon as possible. They'll need to address this inside their
product.

I install your latest version, you ask if I want the Adobe flash player update, I download, it tells me to unistall Firefox to get flash player. What's happening?

Why would I remove your product?

'''''"I have had problems with firefox crashing for the last three month."'''''
You need to investigate the cause of your crashes that started prior to the release of the first Firefox version that offered crash protection, version 3.6.4, released in mid to late June 2010; that is just over one month ago.
'''The crash protection feature does not prevent a plugin from crashing, it prevents the whole Firefox browser from crashing because of a crashing plugin; only the tab with the crashing plugin crashes.'''
For information about report plugin crashes see: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Plugin+crash+reports
You need to post the crash Report IDs for the crashes occurring over the last 3 months. To do so, type '''about:crashes''' in the URL/location/address bar, then copy and paste the Report IDs (only) into your reply. See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+crashes#Getting_help_with_your_crash

Flash Player Update Dialogue

I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with IE and Firefox and am still confused as to what the Flash Player Update Dialogue updates so I'll explain this as best I can. I realize IE uses Flash Player ActiveX and Firefox uses the Flash Player Plugin. Now in the past I've clicked "Install" in the Flash Player Update Dialogue window when it appears and IE opens the download page for the latest Flash release. I then install the update from the download page and that updates the Flash plugin that FF uses even though IE is set as my default browser. I have to manually update Flash Player ActiveX by opening IE, going to Adobe's website and downloading it from there. THIS IS the method I've always preferred however with the last 2 Flash releases the Flash Player Update prompt has followed the same procedure as always by opening the download page in IE but instead my Flash Player ActiveX is updated and I'd have to manually download the update for the Flash Plugin in Firefox. This has never happened with previous versions of Flash so why is the Flash's updater suddenly doing the opposite of what it had been doing? Has Adobe changed which plugin the Flash Player Update Dialogue downloads or is this a problem with my computer, perhaps the result of 1 or 2 registry entries I had CCleaner delete? Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

On my Windows 7 machine, if I set IE as the default browser, when I open the Flash Player (32bit) settings manager in the Control Panel, the ONLY plug-in that appears in the Advanced tab is the ActiveX version for some reason.
If I set Firefox as my default, BOTH plug-ins appear. My system may be screwed up, but it's only two months old and aside from Office 2010 and Creative Suite 5.5, four browsers, Reader and Flash Player are ALL that's installed on it, so it's not likely.
When the ActiveX is the only plug-in that shows, the updater takes me directly to the ActiveX download page. When Firefox is the default, it goes to the page with dropdowns to choose the OS, and browser.

Adobe Flash Player / HP Solution Center Problems!

Hello
Last night everything was working fine. Until I installed the latest Flash Player 10.1.53.64 RC7. Upon reboot my HP Solution Center was corrupted triggered a pop up error and tried to get me to reinstall it. I did a restore back to earlier in the day and proved it was Adobe Flash Player. My HP Solution Center then worked great. Tried installing the latest Adobe Flash Player again and same problem. So I did another restore and everything is working great still. What conflict or what could be causing this bug in Adobe Flash Player 10.1.53.64 RC7 and HP Solution Center? Are you working on this and will there be a patch soon? Are you aware of this conflict?
I am running indows XP Pro SP3 and my printer is an HP C4580 Photosmart. This same problem also happened on my Wifes Laptop running Windows Vista Home SP2 using the same printer. Very frustrated here.
Thanks Dale

Safari 6.0.2 and adobe flash player update problem

I am having problems installing the current version of adobe flash player. Whenever I try and view a video from a site that requires it (eg. youtube, etc.), it says I need to update adobe flash player and sends me to a link to do so. I've installed flash player "successfully" several times, deinstalled it and reinstalled it, re-downloaded it, but I'm always getting the message to update flash player. Can anyone help with some suggestions to get this working corectly?
I am running osx 10.8.2 and safari 6.0.2.
Thanks very much. Ron

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
3. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
4. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
