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...

  • Flash player won't play videos in safari after I've installed Lion does anyone have a solution?

    Hi,
    I've installed Lion after which Flash Player won't play videos with Safari. I keep being prompted to download and install the latest version of Flash Player whcih I've done several times. Can someone please help me fix this.
    I find Adobe's announcement that there are no issues with Flash Player and Lion a bit of a sick joke.
    Many thanks,
    Ian Pickering

    This sounds like the problems that Adobe have reported which are listed at
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html#main_Flash_Player
    I only use flash for watching video clips on the BBC website so haven't been affected by these other issues. The text below is copied from the website at the above link. Hope this helps.
    The Flash Player Settings dialog box doesn't respond to mouse clicks. As a workaround, press the Tab key to move to the Close button and press the spacebar to close the dialog box. While not all settings are available, you can also use the Flash Player native control panel in System Preferences.
    Custom native mouse cursors don't animate properly on Mac OS 10.7.

  • Flash player won't play on home pages

    My flash player won't play on my browser's home pages.  My OS is : windows 7 64 bit ultimate and my browsers are :  Mozilla,Chrome, and IE.  I have owned this machine since laborday 2012 and all of them worked in the begining.  This has been going on for a couple of weeks and I would like to resolve it.  Video works normally in places such as youtube,but will not run on the browsers home pages.  The strange part of it is that it will run the advertisements,but after that is done it will just set there with the loading icon going for awhile until a message come on that states that the stream could not be found.  I just got done checking each browser to see if the players are up to date and they all where current..  Don't know what else to try.  Any suggestions ?  Thanks

  • HT5271 Downloaded latest Apple updates that informed me old versions of Adobe Flash Player were disabled and advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before.

    Downloaded latest Safari update that informed me that older versions of Adobe Flash Player were being disabled and then advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before. (Instead of opening, it comes up as a page of code).

    Hi..
    Quit Safari.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click:  Delete All
    Now select the Storage tab.
    Click Delete All
    Relaunch Safari to test.

  • My quicktime player won't play any videos on my Mac X os. The video will start on quicktime then automatically start

    My quicktime player won't play any videos on my Mac X os. The video will start on quicktime then automatically start. I installed DiV X today and all this happened is there anyway to fix this?? I went through everything dragging the icon to the trash and deleting it from safari extentions.

    Download and install
    Perian from  http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page  http://perian.org/#support   in case you need to delete older codecs.  In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them), particularly any DivX extension to Safari. However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from  http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac  Note that Perian will be discontinued after the release of Mountain Lion:  http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57434082-263/perian-plug-in-for-quicktime-t o-be-discontinued/?tag=txt;title

  • Flash Player won't play videos in Chrome

    Hello,
    I installed FlashPlayer 17.0 and when I load a video, I get a black screen (a right-click shows "animation not loaded"). I submitted a bug in the database but it hasn't been checked. My graphic card drivers are up to date and I precise that I could watch Flash Player videos before. What could be the cause of this?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    OS: Windows 7 64 bit
    Browser: Chrome (latest version)
    Flash Player: 17 (latest version)
    For instance, when I load the following page, the video won't show:
    Ce cycliste au bord du précipice va vous faire froid dans le dos... Le Zapping web !
    There isn't any error message as I explained in my message above.

  • Flash player won't play in Safari

    I've just installed the latest Flash player on Mac 10.8.2 and when I try to play video on Safari 6.0.2, I'm only getting audio, no images – just a white screen. You can see the problem here: http://londonrififi.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/skunk-anansie-2009-intervie w-skin-and.html. I've tried uninstalling, re-installing to no effect. No problems with video on Chrome or Firefox, and when I uninstall Flash, Safari can play video. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Then just download from Adobe's site, OS X does not come pre-installed with Flash so if you're going to use Flash content you have to visit their website, download and follow the on-screen instructions. On a new machine chances are the caches are fine though. You didn't state that it was new so I had no idea. If for some reason you can't find the site it's

    Firefox 7 is very out of date now. I'm not sure it's possible to say what issues it might have with the current version of Flash.
    Also, version 7 is not secure; Mozilla discloses [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html security flaws] after each new release. Is something holding you back from upgrading to Firefox 24? Please let us know so we can suggest solutions or workarounds.
    With respect to Flash itself, here is some standard guidance that addresses the most common reasons for Flash problems in Firefox. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:
    (1) Make sure all recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them temporarily.
    (2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
    (A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    (B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
    (3) Disable protected mode (Windows Vista/7/8)
    See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]

  • Flash player won't load all videos

    Hi there.
    Flash players load youtube and facebook videos fine but on pages like live leak or Vimeo it doesn't work.
    It states that there's an error or the videos is unavailable.
    I've uninstalled it and when I go to the Adobe flash site it says that Google Chrome has a built in flash player :/
    I'm using Windows 7 with the newest updates and Google chrome 21.0.1180.79
    What can I do?

    Google Chrome has in-built Flash Player. You don't need to install it separately.
    Do you have issues with Internet Explorer too?
    Could you please try the solution provided in the following page? http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/enable-system-flash-player-google-chrome.html
    Thanks,

  • Flash Player won't play

    I have flash player 9 installed. When I try to watch the full
    episodes of south park at
    http://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/
    The flash player loads but doesn't play. Also, I'm not sure if this
    has anything to do with it but, the advertisements on the main page
    of southparkstudios.com don't load, it just says "Internet Explorer
    cannot display the webpage", and I believe they are also run with
    flash. Also, the flash clips on the main page work just not the
    full episode player.

    You probably have the newest versions what you have to do is
    'upgrade' their upgrade by getting an older version.
    First do a full uninstall with this tool from adobe.
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
    Then install an older version
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266
    I suggest Flash Player 9 Release 45.
    I had version 9.0.124.0 and had many problems with it, mainly
    with streams.
