Flash player upgrade screws up BBC Video?

This morning I've lost the ability to play video material from the BBC site, such as the Forecast Vid on http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/
Repeats etc on BBC iplayer play ok. This is only on one desktop in the house. Another desktop works as normal. I don't know if it's significant or not that the problem one had a Flash upgrade this morning to 10.1.82.76
The ok system is on 10.1.53.64
(right click the vid display and click About Flash player... to see what version you have)
Youtube plays fine on both.
Is anyone else suffering these symptoms?

Doh.... messing in the Macromedia settings page I had set the storage level to zero back to normal again. The Flash u/g was coincidental. Thanks for the responses guys.

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.

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?

    Unlock the lock, if you have to.
    Allow apps downloaded from:
    Select “Mac App store and identified developers”.
    Quit System Preferences and try.

'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.

Flash player crashes when opening a video

A user with Windows XP Pro (32 bit) appears to successfully install Flash Player, and short flash sequences embedded in web pages seem to display OK. But any time she tries to play a video from within a browser she gets the message "The Adobe Flash Player has crashed" and the video will not play.
We've tried uninstalling Flash Player then reinstalling in both Firefox and IE. Firefox 3.6.27, IE8, Shockwave Flash 11.2.102.55
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
David

It didn't work for me either:
Using FireFox 10.0.2 and Flash Player 11.1.102.62 (or any other combination that I have tried so far) on Windows 7 64 bit, after a few seconds of playing a YouTube video the video freezes up and after a few more seconds I get the frowny face with the message that Flash Player has crashed. Several people have recommended disabling hardware acceleration but that didn't help. The only way I can get it to play YouTube videos is to go to FireFox Plugins and disable the Shockwave plugin. Now I can play YouTube videos, but some videos that come to me from other platforms pop up with the message: "This plugin is disabled."
I used to be able to play all videos with no problem up to about two weeks ago. I don't want to have to restore to a previous time if I don't have to.
Also, when I use Internet Explorer I have no problems playing either YouTube of those from other sources.
I have seen a lot of questions on this problem but no good answers that have worked for me.
BTW, on each crash I clicked on reload and submit report, but don't know if it goes anywhere.

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.

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

Adobe Flash Player 11.9.900.170 videos

I am having problems with the latest Flash Player 11.9.900.170 on Windows 7. I followed all the instructions after installation and everytime that I go to a website the Adobe Flash Player Settings box covers the video with "allow" or "deny". And no matter what I set the download setting, this box is always blocking the video and if I hit "allow" or "deny", nothing changes?

You can set your storage settings here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.htm l
It is recommeded that you allow data to store temporarily for playback.

Flash player controls (for live streaming video) frozen...

Hello,
Lion, Flash Player, and CNN's live-video player are not playing together nicely on our 2010 MBP 13". In fact, they're not playing.
Have tried the latest suggested fix, which is to right click on the errant video stream, then disable hardware acceleration. Unfortunately, right clicking brings up a "frozen" settings box. None of the buttons can be clicked, not even cancel.
Have accessed Flash Player through the Control Panel, but there is no switch there for hardware acceleration.
Bottom line, am now unable to view live video content from CNN and others.
Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash. Have tried Safari, Firefox and Chrome. And am not a step closer to a solution. Was hopeful that today's install of Lion would set things right, but alas...
Your suggestions greatly appreciated.

About a half-hour after making the changes I outlined above, and long after I closed the active Safari window, noticed that my MBP was uncharacteristically hot. Extremely hot!
Opened Activity Monitor and saw that Flash Player was still running (?) and using a tremendous amount of system resources. I then quit Safari altogether. Within moments, the heat began to subside.
May be something you want to keep an eye on...

Flash player won't play CNN video

Please help, I'm at my wits end. I've been working on this issue for a few weeks. I have Win7 / IE8 / FP 11.3.300.270
The problem is my flash player simply refuses to play videos from CNN. Everything else works fine. I've uninstalled and installed at least 100 times-nothing. I've set and reset all the settings suggested by Adobe.com-nothing. I've read and re-read forums in Google, Adobe and anything else I can find on the 'net-nothing.
This has become increasingly frustrating. Please help!!

I see the player open and all the periphreals load then I get a red circle in the middle of the player that says loading. When that stops the screen is just black-no video or sound...
