'Flash Player Upgrade Required' on facebook

For the past three weeks, I have been repeatedly instructed 'You must install the new Flash Player upgrade to view this content',
which i had hitherto viewed with no problems at all. I have since repeatedly tried to comply with this order but am repeatedly told
that my Mac 10.4 Power PC system does not support the upgrade. I have tried to install various other 'Adobe recommended'
versions of the Flash Player but none of them work ( having been 'installed successfully' ). Should i simply resign myself to never
again being able to view any videos on Facebook or would Adobe prefer that i install a new operating system which suits their
software upgrade ?

It's not what Adobe would prefer, but what Facebook wants. As regards the latter, Facebook is an advertising funded business from which they make a lot of money. See: Facebook Could Surpass $1 Billion in Revenue This Year
Companies which advertise on Facebook want; in fact demand that the products they want to display in Flash meet their expectations. Since Adobe also makes their money from selling licences for commercial use, they're keen to meet those expectations in order to ensure that businesses don't switch to another technology.
So I'm afraid to say that unless your system meets the Minimum System Requirements to display all those ads, then you're going to be left out in the cold.

On my Ipad I seem to be having a problem when trying to play YouTube videos embedded on Facebook.
When I click the links, I get a message saying: "Flash Player upgrade required."
and under it, it says, "You need to download and install the lastes version of Adobe Flash Player to view this content"
and also a green button saying "Get Flash Player"
I get this if using chrome or safari .
I can go direct to YouTube it just works.

The Facebook link to the video is accessing an Adobe Flash video. Unfortunately, no iOS devices can play flash.

"Flash player upgrade required" ??

Hi, i am having a problem i have not encountered untill now..
I keep getting this "update required" message when i want to watch a video on Facebook, but everywhere else it works fine, i installed the latest version but it still pops up this same message whenever i want to watch something..
This is only happening on Facebook and nowhere else, does anyone know what could be the problem and maybe have a solution to it?
I am using an ASUS laptop running Windows 8 , and using Chrome as my browser
Thank you in advance

Google Chrome includes a built-in Flash Player and is always up to date, as long as Chrome is allowed to install automatic updates.
If it's specific to a website or a handful of sites, it's probably just bad Flash Player detection code, which they would need to fix.
if you're seeing it everywhere and you're on your home network, you might want to restart your wifi router and then install the latest available firmware for it.
Variants of this continue to pop up and spread:

Adobe Flash Player not working on Facebook

I recently installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, 11.9.900.117. Adobe's website confirms that it is installed. Yet when I try to play videos on on Facebook, I get a message that "Flash Playerf upgrade required. You must download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player to view the content." I have Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 10.

Flash Player upgrade for Mac Powerbook 10.4.11 1.67GHz PowerPC G4 512MB. Please advise, thanx!

It seems there is no Flash Player upgrade for my Powerbook 10.4.11 Can anyone help? I would appreciate it very much if you can send me some confirmed info to [email protected]
Thank you!

AS John says 10.1.102.64 is the latest PPC version, but...
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 later version installed.

After updating Flash Player, continue to get message "Flash Player Update Required"

Even though I have just installed Flash Player 12 and it shows on my list of programs, I continue to get the message "Flash Player Update Required" when I try to view a video or play a Facebook game. I have rebooted but still doesn't work.

Issue resolved! I uninstalled Flash Player and reinstalled it from the
Adobe website. Then rebooted and that took care of the problem.
Thanks for your help!

I want to download a poker site to my iPad but it said that flash player is required. What app do I use.

When I went to download the poker site it said flash player was required. What can I do so I can play holdem online?

Check out puffin in the App Store. It's a flash enabled browser. You can try puffin lite to see if it works, it's free. The upgraded version is 2.99(worth it). The difference between the pro an lite, is the lite has 15minutes of flash free. Pro version is the full product. Try the lite first.
There are other flash browsers as well...I just have puffin.

in IE I keep getting "adobe flash player 10 required" even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version. Weirdly, the sound still works

Just to update: Before posting, I tried everything I could find on Flash Player Help | Installation problems | Windows and nothing worked. The flash player stopped working in early November. I know it is some setting somewhere that I need to fix, but I just can't find it. I get a message that "adobe flash player 10 required" but, oddly, I still get sound.

Warning... dumb question ahead: Tech guy who set up my Mac didn't give me my password info. Didn't need it till I decided to finally download a Flash Player upgrade, which won't complete process without my Mac password. Suggestions?

Cannot download new adobe flash player upgrade

I just tried to download the newest Adobe Flash Player Upgrade by going to the Adobe website. The Adobe Flash Player Installer appeared in my downloads file. But when I double click it I get a Mac warning window opens that says "Can't be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store." When I go to the Mac App store and search for Adobe Flash Player, it doesn't exist there. How do I get it or is there another way to be able to watch video on the internet especially from sites like you tube and vimeo, but also sometimes on other sites. Do I have to keep the older version indefinitly and risk not getting security updates?

Can't install Flash Player upgrade

Can't install Flash Player upgrade on Windows 7 system. Get it downloaded and get message "an exception Runtime error has occured in script". Message says "new instance of MS Script Editor". Try to debug and get message "can not create application folder"
What do I do?

Hello,
I've seen another report of the installer throwing a script error, however, I've been unable to reproduce. Can you please do the following to provide a log file for further troubleshooting:
Download the installer from get.adobe.com/flashplayer and save it to the desktop
Launch the command prompt, click the Start orb and in the search field, type: cmd.exe
When the command prompt utility launches, drag the installer from the desktop onto the command prompt window hit space key and type /debug
It should look similar to (the actual file name may differ): C:\Users\labuser\Desktop\install_flashplayer14x32_mssd_aaa_aih.exe /debug
Note there IS a space between the file name and the / and there is NO space between / and debug
If there are spaces in the directory path, the command needs to be encapsulated in quotes, for example: "C:\Documents and Settings\labuser\Desktop\install_flashplayer14x32_mssd_aaa_aih.exe" /debug
Click Enter to proceed
A file named host.develop.log will be saved to the same location the installer was saved toYou may notice the the online installer file is missing. This is because it deletes itself once executed, so it will no longer be saved locally.
Post the contents of the host.develop.log file here in your response, or share the file following the How to share a document instructions.
Thank you in advance.

I can't install flash player upgrade

I am not the most computer literate person and have tried about 10 times now to install the latest flash player upgrade. It is driving me crazy! I need to go to a website to get a gift certificate for a birthday for tomorrow but I can't access it! What can I do? I can't get the Gizmo guys here before lunchtime tomorrow so any hints that are in the realm of the computer non- geek would be great. Many thanks
