"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:

    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' 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.

  • 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

    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.

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • Flash Player upgrade installation problem - Windows 7 x64 & Firefox

    Hello
    It is impossible to upgrade the Flash Player to version 11.7.700.224 or 11.7.700.169
    The antivirus DrWeb detects the installer as a virus (Trojan Downloader) and blocks the download process, but even disabling the antivirus and stopping its services (rebooting included) another problem appear:
    The OS Windows 7 x64 rejects the installation saying that there is a program or component required that is not present.
    The present version of Flash Player that I have installed is 11.4.r402.265, with this version is not problem for install, uninstall or configure, but Firefox claims that the version needs to be upgraded.
    Also a new and strange and  disturbing function has appeared.
    In the address bar of Firefox at the left has appeared an Adobe icon the request if I want or not to activate Flash for each web page that contain flash elements.
    For example: In YouTube each time I open the page is nescessary to reactivate Flash for to allow the video function, if not the video screens reamain in blank.
    Many pages that have active contents force to reactivate Flash a lot of times.
    For example: The free web storage servers (rapidshare, hotfile, etc) have routines of showing publicity during the login and startup of the upload/download process.
    Each time that I need to reactivate Flash the whole page is reset and makes incredibly slow the use of the cloud storage services.

    Hello
    Google Chrome has it own Flash Player built in.
    So you cannot uninstall it seperatly, only deactivate it.
    And it is not Flash Player v11.2.x at this time.
