Flash player videos do not load properly about 80% of the time

Using 64 bit W7
Firefox 12, latest version of Chrome
latest version of FP as of yesterday (11.2.202.233)..reinstalled about 6 times trying to fix this in the past week.
Ever since I updated flash player about a week and a half ago (I dont know what version I was using before...the auto-updater told me to upgrade so I did ..big mistake I guess), every video site, every video has had issues loading unless I get extremely lucky. I usually have to refresh the videos about 4 or 5 times to get them to fully load. When they DO finally load they usually do so at a snail pace. Most of the time the videos will load 40-70% and then just freeze their buffer forever until I refresh a bunch. I know this is a flash issue because it happens on both FF and Chrome, and I switched to the HMTL5 trial on Youtube and have had ZERO issues with HMTL5 videos. Unforutnately, youtube is the only big website that seems to support HMTL5 right now so that's not a solution. And of course, the biggest factor in me knowing this is a flash issue is because it happened the very day I upgraded to this version.
Any help at all would be appreicaited...I've tried all the things listed on the FAQs such as disabling HMTL5, clearing cache, completely installation. deleting Flash's cache completey, ect ect....no changes at all.

Could do the following please.
Download the Flash player uninstaller first of all and save it somewhere you can find it again easily.
Download the Flash player installer next and save that to the same place.
Disable your antivirus scanners next. If you use AVAST, right click the orange icon in systray, go to "Avast Shields Control" and choose to disable all shields for one hour. If you're not using AVAST, consult this list for instructions on how to disable it: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic114351.html Particularly, if you're using AVG, open Firefox, press CTRL+SHIFT+A to open the Add-ons manager, go to the Extensions submenu and disable "AVG Linkscanner" and "AVG Safe Search". Both of these will interfere with the download process otherwise.
If Firefox is open, close it.
If you're running any apps which use Flash like AIM or any games, close them before proceeding with the next step.
Next, run the Flash uninstaller which will also remove the the program from Firefox and from Internet Explorer (but not from Chrome).
Next, run the Flash installer. This will only install Flash in Firefox. Do not open Firefox before you run it though.
Next, open Firefox, hit CTRL+SHIFT+A to open the Firefox Add-ons manager, go to the Plugins menu and confirm that Shockwave Flash 11.2.202.235 is visible.
Go to a site where you were unable to play videos before and see if these troubleshooting steps made any difference.
If everything works properly, open Internet Explorer, go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=BUIGP and download Flash for IE. Uncheck the optional McAfee installer because you don't want that. When you see the option to Run, or Save, choose "Run" to install it immediately.
As regards Google Chrome, the Flash player is intergrated in the browser and updates automatically in the background. You cannot update it manually. If Chrome continues to exhibit problems, consult this page for possible solutions: Google Chrome Issues
AVAST will re-enable itself automatically after an hour, but you may need to re-enable other AV apps manually.

Adobe Flash Player Problem: "Movie Not Loaded"

new user to mac.
i'm getting more and more frustrated with this computer.
what's bugging me the most right now is
i am unable to view videos on certain websites.
rather than showing the content,
a white box appears.
when i right click on the white box,
it says "movie not loaded" (in gray) and adobe flash player 9 (in black).
i can't click on the gray line.
when i click on the black line, it brings me to the adobe website and tells me adobe flash player 9 has been successfully installed.
i am fairly sure this has nothing to do with heavy traffic.
any insights on how to resolve this issue?
cheers.

Flash player shows "Movie not loaded" on Firefox 7; would 32 bit version or mode solve?

Flash Player 11.0.1.152 is loaded on my machine. Firefox 7.0.1 is my browser. Running Windows 7 Home Premium. Flash content which worked before now does not. When I visit Flash enabled sites, the display area for the Flash content remains blank. When I right click in the display are, I get the "Movie not loaded" message. I have seen suggestions that the current Flash version does not work in 64 bit browsers. Is a 32 bit version of Firefox 7 available or is there a way to run it in 32 bit mode? Does it sound likely that this would resolve the issue?

This computer has two different versions of Flash Player for Internet Explorer and two different versions of Flash Player for other browsers.
A clean install is recommended:
Windows
Download the current 32 bit uninstaller Uninstaller for 32 bit Operating Systems
Close all browser windows and run the uninstaller
Restart Windows
Delete all remaining files and folders located in the following directories. (tip: copy and paste these paths into the path bar in an Explorer window)
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flas
%appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player
%appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player
Verify that the file “FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl” in C:\Window\system32\ for 32 bit systems has been deleted.
Download the following installer files:
32 bit Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
32 bit Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Physically disconnect from the Internet and run the installers.

Flash Player installed but not working properly

I have Windows 7 64 bit, and run IE11.
I have Adobe Flash Player installed.
It works fine on my login (administrator) but my young Son can not watch video's, as it says Flash Player is not installed.
How do I fix this please?

Flash Player has updated to 11.87.800.175 today; is it working better?
If not, what means "not working properly"?

Adl Error : Adobe Flash Player error: could not load cURL library

Hi people,
I am trying to get this code working --
var loader;
$(function() {
loader = new air.HTMLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(air.Event.COMPLETE, complete);
loader.load(new air.URLRequest('http://www.lilpirate.net/blog')); });
function complete() {
$(loader.window.document).ready(function(){
$("#texts").val($("#header",loader.window.document).val());
alert("Complete!"); });
I get the Complete! alert message, but the textarea with id texts is not updated with the data in #header which is on http://www.lilpirate.net/blog
I think this is happening because of the error message adl is throwing.
I'm running Fedora 13 x64 and have installed flash player correctly(firefox test). I also have libcurl and libcurl devel packages installed.

I'm getting the same problem. No explaination of why, and
downgrading all my security to DANGEROUSLY unsafe levels doesn't
help, nor does setting anything in the settings app. (Have you ever
used a slower application?)
I did find (using a Google search) a blog that pointed me to
the article located at this address:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=13530cdd
I don't know yet if it will help, but it appears to be on the
right track.
Good luck.

Windows 8, 64-bit, Flash 11.3, pages not loading properly?

I've just got a new 64-bit laptop with Windows 8. Websites using Flash keep crashing on Firefox, but work fine on Chrome and IE10.
I tried the suggestions in Hot Topics here 'Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox' and here 'Flash 11.3 crashes', by downgrading to Flash 10.3, but it didn't help, probably because they're about Windows 7.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

I now have the latest versions of both Adobe and Firefox, and I still have this problem.
Come on Firefox, get your act together and talk to Adobe about this problem with Windows 8 compatibility.

Flash player 11 is not loading movie

site movie is not loading , help please

This is now happening with 11.8.800.94 with browsers and Weather Channel Desktop app. White, black or blank screen on many web pages -- but not all. YouTube seems unaffected. When right click on a blank/black/white screen, grayed out message "Movie not loading" appears.
Uninstalled Flash Player using adobe uninstaller, then installed older verisons dating back to 11.2.x. NO CHANGE.
Obviously I have no idea what is going on, or what to do next.

Flash player 64 bit not installing properly

I have not been able to use flash player on my windows 7 64 bit computer. It kept showing up in the computer settings as flash player 32 bit and the flash player does not work on my laptop. Any suggestion?

You need to provide more details; "not able" and "not work" doesn't mean anything. Also, what browser do you use?
Flash Player will automatically install both 32-bit and 64-bit versions on a 64-bit system; you cannot get only a 32-bit version on a 64-bit system.

Flash player video will not play.

i have a 8 year old computer with windows 7 ultimate 32 bit which these things work on.
I also just got a new hp windows 7 upgrated to ultimate. i do as the old computer example a video on www.denverbroncos.com and it works fine on the old computer but on the new computer it plays the add but stalls out before running the video. i have uninstalled both google crome and flash player restarted my computer and installed flash player which also installed crome and got no new results.

FLV needs to be inside of a SWF container that manages it's playback. The Media Player provides that for you, but the standalone Flash Player doesn't. So you can make one in Flash easily with components, or you can just download any one of the many free ones (for example, I've personally used Jeroen Wing's "JV Player" from longtail)

Music Files Not Loading Properly On 80Gig iPod - (First time iPod User)

Hey Everyone, I'm new to this so please do bare with me. I bought a 80G ipod about 21/2 months ago it's great and all but lately, when I've been loading new Music on it does not load up properly only parts of the album will load up and leave certain part or sometimes even the whole album off despite copying the files information on to the player. When I reconnect my iPod and reload the music on again (once I've deleted the file that isn't working on the ipod) it works fine. It was okay the first few times but it's starting to become an annoyance. If anyone knows whats wrong or what I can do.. please let me know! Any help would be great appreciated! Thanks In Advance

My customized Yahoo Toolbar (v. 2.3.5.20110120033202) would not load properly after I installed the new Firefox 5.0, even though when it checked for incompatibilities while installing it made no mention of the Yahoo toolbar, only the Google toolbar

My elongated (statement) question fully explains the problem I am inquiring about. Only some rudimentary features of my existing Yahoo toolbar were displayed and it was missing all of my previously selected icons which are on file with Yahoo, not my computer. You also could not right or left click for a menu on the options icon (gear icon) to the right of the search window.
It would seem that there are incompatibility issues between the new 5.0 Firefox and the existing most current version of the Yahoo Toolbar add-on. I don't know know why this wasn't detected in the installation scan for compatibility of installed add-ons.
I have re-installed the 4.0 Firefox for the time being in order to regain the use of the Yahoo toolbar and all it's features which I use regularly.
Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what the problem may be?

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

HT3728 since Oct 25 my time capsule is not working properly. I enter the time machine to check my backups and the only thing I see is balck screen on every single day since I put it to work on my house. Any ideas on what's going on?

I am having problems with my time capsule.
It's not backing up... if I enter the time machine, all I see is a black page, any day I look, since the day I bought it.
Was not like this before Oct 25...
Any ideas on what's going on and what should I do to make it work again?

Check the USB cable first to make sure that it is operating correctly on another connection.
You may need to use a powered USB hub with the drive since the USB port on the Time Capsule is not a high powered port like you have on your Mac.
You may need to use the powered hub even if the hard drive has its own external power supply.
