Flash player works on youtube but not yahoo homepage

Flash player works on youtube but when trying to watch video on yahoo homepage says need to download adobe flash player I have already uninstalled several times but still won't work please help

YouTube uses javascript to determine if Flash Player is installed and switches to HTML5 (MP4), which requires no plugin, if Flash Player isn't detected. Yahoo doesn't do that yet. Here's why this is important, especially if you're using IE11.
The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Flash player worked for months but now I have audio but no video / Windows 8 / Help

Flash player worked for months. But today suddenly the video part stopped working. So I have audio and a blank screen. This is across all applications: youtube, live streaming, etc.

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating system
Browser
Flash Player version - http://adobe.ly/wNzNAu
Web Page URL
Steps to reproduce
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
Windows - http://adobe.ly/KShBWi
Mac - http://adobe.ly/16Odlzb
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.

Flash Player works for Administrator but not other users

I have Flash Player 10.2.153.1 installed and I am running Windows Vista 32-bit and Windows Internet Explorer 8. If I am logged in as the Administrator I have no problem watching video previews from the Odeon and other similar websites. However, if logged on a Standard user account Odeon film previews cannot be seen - all I get is a blank white viewing box with a small square box in the top left corner with the colours red, green and blue in it (it is too vague to make out what the logo is even when zoomed in). The inability to watch video clips for Standard users seems to be random as some sites work while others do not? Can anyone help solve this problem? Why do I have this problems for the standard user accounts on some websites but not at all for the Administrator account on any website ???

Experienced same problems: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/790415

Flash shockwave 11.5 works for youtube but not amazon instant video

Shockwave 11.5 r502 works for Youtube but not for Amazon Instant Video.

Hi,
It asked me if I wanted to install something to make the videos load faster -
Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. Might be lurking there. If so, select the plugin then click Uninstall.
Check:
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins (~) Tilde character represents your Home folder
Check:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
/Library/Application Support
/Library/Input Managers
And check your Safari downloads folder. If the file is still there, double click to open. Might be an uninstaller you can use.

The Flash Player is not running but it is there and it is enabled and Active X is not checked. The Player version is 16.0.0.305. I have the latest ie11 and the latest W8.1. I have used the Adobe tool to delete the Flash and subsequently I have updated or reloaded Flash using your updater. I have gone into IE options and insured that the settings are supportive of Flash. The Adobe mini Flash test program on your site says it not enabled or Active X is enabled - not true - all is set as it should be. I have gone through your forums but to no avail. I've looked in MS forums but nothing that made any difference. What's going on and what can I do about it?

Try using Firefox. Flash usually works on Firefox when it won't on Safari. I noticed that the Safari does not show the same version as Firefox does. Iwonder if that could be the problem. Safari on the left shows 10.1, Firefox show 10.3

I have Adobe Flash Player Plugin for Firefox, but I'm still missing Flash Player?

So I have installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player Plugin for Firefox, and I'm able to watch youtube videos on my browser and other things that require flash player, but I have a disc that i got along with my Samsung monitor, and when I put it in my computer, it says that I do not infact have flash player. Also, when I try playing a game, DawnGate, theres a black box where a video should be, and it says that i do not have flash player, and it is required to watch these videos. I tried uninstalling, and I was unable to watch youtube, and when i reinstalled, I was able to watch youtube again, but that did not fix my problem. Is there something I'm missing? I look forward to hearing from someone soon.

Odds are it's looking for the IE plugin: (A lot of software just assumes ALL Windows users are "slaves to Microsoft" and only have IE installed.)
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
or the standalone Player:

Adobe Flash Plug in file - crashing in facebooks and other sites

Hi
I have never had problems with adobe flash until last week. When I play games in Facebook ( via IE or Mozilla ) or other site , I get a message that adobe plug in has crashed. It only happens on one user on the laptop. If I switch to other user profile flash works fine.
I tried the following but it did not solve the problem. "Try quitting both browsers, then open up the Flash Player control panel (located with your system control panels). Click the Storage tab and then click the "delete all..." button. You'll see a "Delete all site data in Flash Player" dialog, make sure that the "Delete all site data and settings" checkbox is checked and click the Delete Data button".
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this problem ?
thanks

I tried all that for over a week now.

Flash Player Works for Some Users, Not Others

I have recently upgraded my home computers to Windows 7 (64 bit). My kids all have standard user accounts. I have installed Adobe Flash Player as an administrator. It works for me (administrator) and some of my kids (standard accounts) but not for all of my kids. As far as I can tell, the kids' accounts are identical, so I can't figure out why some of them can use Flash Player and some cannot on the same computers.
For the accounts where Flash Player does not work, we get a prompt to install the latest version (which, of course, is already installed). Even when I try to reinstall it (using my administrator password), the problem is not resolved. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player, with no success.
I use both Windows Parental Controls and Windows Family Safety for my kids' accounts. All four kids have the same settings. I tried turning these off temporarily to see if that would make a difference but it did not.
I am baffled. Help!

Hi, very confusing, I agree. Here is a link to a thread that the poster found success.http://forums.adobe.com/message/2476140#2476140 (BruceTR)

Microsoft's toll free # for IE8 issues, which this is. Following is a great forum by Microsoft; covers Win7, Vista & XP and

Also, the link for the live one safety scan by Microsoft: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm
Hope this information helps you. IE7 and IE8 have more security and therefore use is restricted, i.e. Administrative and User classifications, etc.

Not works means you get a blank screen as the webpage; works is when you have to allow Flash Player to run "outside of protected" mode several times to get the website to come up.
Try www.wzeconsulting.com on the three browsers to see what I mean. wzeconsulting.com is not some spam site, it is the site for a business in China that I work with.

Flash Player works for one user only

Running IE7 under Vista. Have one other user on laptop with Vista. I am the Administrator.Since downloading latest version of Flash Player it will work on my log in but not when the other user is logs in.
No error message. Simply all Active X items appear as box with a red X. Have checked the Security settings for both users on IE appear the same.
Tried Adobe Support chat service but all they could do was direct me to a Forum.
Any help will be appreciated.

This has come up multiple times over the last few months. There has been a solution posted somewhere in this forum, but I don't remember what it was.
Try searching the forum for "limited user" or such; hopefully you will find it.

ASAP!! Flash Player Works on Computer But Not Live. (Could Be Easy)

I need to present this site in a couple of hours and ran into this problem.
I just added a Flash button that works perfectly on every single page except my gallery.php. All the other pages are .html. On my computer I can see the button perfectly, but when I uploaded and viewed the file it tells me to update my player. Why would it not work live and does it have anything to do with it being a .php file? Here's a link that works, The "Primerica" button on the top right is the focal point.
Works:
http://shepardsuperteam.com/chris/inner_circle.html
Doesn't Work
http://shepardsuperteam.com/chris/gallery.php
It looks more presentable in IE7 than FF but I need to remedy this ASAP!!!

With an intermittent problem, whether a solution really works
needs to be tested extensively. Someone else reported being able to
play Flash in FF with Flash 9 installed, IF they also had Flash 8
installed. But in that case and in yours, was there sufficient
testing before the solution was reported? Check out this page with
FF (it's a page that tends to generate the problem with a high
frequency, but not always):
http://www.yoism.org/?q=node/52#jill
If repeated testing on that page doesn't crash your ability
to play Flash, then your solution may really work. What version of
Flash does Adobe say you have when you visit this page?:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507&sliceId=1
The other problem with IE is probably unrelated to this. Did
you reinstall Flash for IE? For IE, you have to run the exe program
with winax.exe in the name.

Flash Player works in Safari but not Internet Explorer 9

I've installed Flash Player 10.3 and it works in Safari but not Internet Explorer 9. When I look in Manage Add-Ins I see Flash Shockwave but not Flash Player. My operating system is Windows Vista Ultimate (32bit). Safari is 5.0.5 and IE 9 is 9.0.8112.16421. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Flash Player and uninstalling Norton 360. Nothing has worked so far. Can you help?

Thank you for your reply. Shockwave is loaded and enabled.
The files in flash directory are: a folder called FlashPlayerTrust: file, flash10q.ocx: file, FlashInstall.log; file, FlashUtil10q_ActiveX.dll; file, FlashUtil10q_ActiveX.exe, file, install.log.
There is no file: NPSWF32.dll.
When I test the browsers I get no spinning logo in either Safari or IE9. Safari says: missing plug-in, where I think the logo should be. IE-9 says nothing at the same location.
Thanks.

Flash player work with Safari, but not with Internet Explorer

My flash player had a problem so I uninstalled it. I had a problem downloading the player with Internet Explorer, so I successfully download it with Safari. The player works fine with Safari, but I cannot get it to work with Internet Explorer 8.
I used to have the Flash Player 10 Active X (10.1.85.3), which I had uninstalled.
I now have the Flash Player 10 Plugin (10.1.85/3)
The problem I had downloading the player with IE was that the "allow Active X" information bar never appeared and I was unable to see any download at all.
How do I get flash to work with my Internet Explorer 8 (8.0.7600.16385)?

This adobe web site worked easily for me, when I needed to install adobe flash JUST for IE8.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
All you need to do is choose your OS in the top window, then in the bottom window choose "Adobe Flash Player 10.1 for Windows Internet Explorer", and voila, that is what adobe installs!! Give it a go. I had problems too, before I foud this. Diligent
