Flash plugin not working in main user acct

I installed the adobe flash plugin several times - nothing was working. Then, I took the advice of a previous poster and created another user account. The plugin is working perfectly under the other user account, but not under the main admin. I've also tried deleting the preferences, moving the preferences, resetting safari...etc. etc. I'm at my wits end!!

Hi
Please check that all web-content boxes in your main user account are checked in Safari Preferences>Security panel. If they are:
Uninstall Flash via the Adobe method. You can do this with this Adobe Uninstaller.
Next, download a current copy from here - in your case it would be the PPC version.
When done, Safari automatically opens to the Adobe Flash page confirming the plug-in was correctly installed.
Quit Safari and "repair permissions" using Disk Utility in the Utilities folder. If Safari crashes, still "repair permissions" before going on to the next suggestion.

Flash Player not working on other user accounts, only main.

I have this problem everytime Flash updates and have only been able to fix it twice. On a Windows XP SP 2 I have 3 accounts. The main administator, an administator, and a guest account. Flash Player works for the main admin but not for the guest or other administrator. I cant watch videos anywhere on the other two accounts , like youtube or embeded or anything that requires flash and when I try to install it, it says its installed, which it is. I found this problem a while back and favorited it but I lost it unfortunatly and cannot find it again.
I believe all I had to do last time was go into a file and replace a line of code with another and it worked, but since the update it hasnt.
Please and Thank you.

You mention "certain websites" where Flash will not load. Are there pages that do display flash content on these accounts?
You might want to walk through these two FAQ's to see if they help:

Safari (7.0.1) is non-responsive (spinning pinwheel) upon start up. It will work in temp user account but not in my main user acct. I tried reinstall via comman-r prompt on start up but the problem persists. Any suggestion for reinstall or repair?

Safari is non-responsive after intitial start up. Before it can load the homepage (google), it will hang and give a perpetual pinwheel until I force quit the program. Safari works in temporary user account but not in my primary user account. I have reinstalled osx via the command-r upon start up and the problem still persists. Any suggestions on how to reinstall or repair safari?

Thanks for thinking about my problem. I've already experimented with creating a new user, a co-administrator. The programs don't crash when that account is running, just as they don't crash when the guest-user's account runs. So it seems that the problem is limited to the default user's account, which is the one that was running when I installed the updates to the OS and the firmware. Another clue is that the programs that crash as soon as they are launched are *probably* the ones that were open at that time in that account. Yet deleting Saved Application States does not keep the programs from crashing when next launched.
So the mystery continues, but these additional facts will help with the diagnosis, I hope.
Thanks again for your suggestion.

Shockwave flash plugin not working at all!! HELP

So, here is my problem, I have windows 8.1 64bit and running the latest mozilla firefox.
I've had a lot of problems with flash player (32bit), videos not working properly, loading very slow.. (i have fast internet, working good) then i updated flash and it totally stoped working.
Resetting Firefox does not work for me. Flash player is not working at all, so i had to uninstall it. i uninstalled both flash player and shockwave player. i tried having only flash player - still not working.
I've already tried these too:
-Uninstalling and re-installing flash player
-Uninstalling and re-installing in Safe Mode
-Turning off hardware acceleration in both Firefox and flash player
-i have updated all drivers on my computer
Still not working at all! WHY?

This add-on will prevent Flash from running on the web page until you want.

New flash player not working for all users

I have Flash 10.0.22.87 installed on a freshly built Citrix 4.5 PS. When the administrator is signed in, everything works just fine. When my users sign in, they navigate to a webpage that requires flash and it either tells them that Flash is not installed or it prompts them to install (but does nothing when you tell it to).
Did flash player become profile specific with this new release? I have 10.0.12.36 and 9.0.115.0 on my other Citrix servers and they work without issue for all users. I've tried uninstalling with the utility I downloaded from adobe.com and re-installing with the offline activeX control. I've played with the security settings opening thing wide open and it still does not work. There is no different software between the problem server and the other Citrix servers other than this version of Flash.
Any suggestions? Thanks in Advance

I am experiencing the same problem on my LAN. Administrator account the app works fine, end users sign in with non admin accounts and it will not work.
I spent some time reading online and found the following instructions on the NET. I tried them and I thought it worked because I was able to log on as a non admin user test account and the flash player worked just fine.
Log in as Admin
2. Download the following zip file from here:
www.supportflash.com/reset_all.zip
3. Unzip this folder onto your desktop.
4. Drag both files ‘reset_min_all.cmd’ and
‘subinacl.exe’ to your
desktop.
5. Run the reset_min_all.cmd file.
6. It will open a DOS like terminal and start
running through registry
keys.
7. When it is finished it will say “press any key
to continue”.
8. At this point you can install the latest Flash
Player:
for Internet Explorer:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/ts/documents/tn_19166/Install_F
lash_Player_9_ActiveX.zip
other browsers:

9. Check that Flash Player is working for the
Admin.
10. Check that Flash Player is working as the
other 2 users.

Flash-plugin not working

Operating System is Linux (OEL) 5.5.
After upgrading browser to FIrefox 10.0.5, Adobe download site recommended Flash-plugin 11.2.202.236. Installed on Linux using 'rpm'. Started browser and entered 'about:plugin" which listed the shockwave flash plugin. BUT, when URL to the Adobe test page entered, the flash 'movie' did not display anything .. just blank box. I've deinstalled and reinstalled, and searched numerous websites for help .. but nothing helpful. PLEASE, help!

Thank you very much for your reply.
These are the files I downloaded from adobe.com:
[swp@mysrvr ~]$ cd Desktop/
[swp@mysrvr Desktop]$ ll

-rw-rw-r-- 1 swp swp 18360320 Jun 12 16:38 install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar
I first tried using 'rpm -Uvh flash-plugin-11.2.202.236-release.i386.rpm'
> this installed, then 'rpm -qa' did show the new version; but test page on adobe site didn't play.
I also tried untarring the 'install..tar' file, moved the .so file to home directory,
> but again, test page on adobe site didn't play.
So, going through your steps, first found 'firefox' binary:
swp@mysrvr plugins]$ which firefox
/usr/bin/firefox
[swp@mysrvr plugins]$ cd /usr/bin/
[swp@mysrvr bin]$ ll firefox
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6540 Jun 5 23:33 firefox
Then, looked for the flash-plugin using your command:
[swp@mysrvr Desktop]$ su

Then, created the sym-link using command you provided:

Closed, restarted Firefox, but once again, still no dispay on the adobe.com test page:

Flash plugin not working after upgrade

firefox upgraded itself this morning, it has been running really slowly ever since! i unistalled and installed again and it is still the same, It has just said that flash was not up to date so i have installed flash again, but it does not appear to work!

Flash Player 12 works just fine with Snow Leopard. I have it on my server machine. No problems at all in Safari, Opera, Firefox.
Give it a "clean install" to make sure you've gotten the old plug-ins out and that the new ones are "allowed" by Safari.
How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X

The Adobe Flash plugin not working

I downloaded and installed the Adobe Flash plugin last version (11), but Firefox doesn't recognizing it and asking me again to install it. OS - MAC, version 10.6.8

You can find the latest Flash player for Firefox on this page.
*http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
For Firefox on 64 bit Windows, you need the 32 bit Flash version version because Firefox is a 32 bit application.

Caps Key not working in main user account

Caps key does work in a guest account. Just bought this 13" Macbook Pro and transferred my user account from my old Powerbook. Over the air since I didn't have a firewire 800 to 400 cable. Everything seems to work fine but that.
Should I do a backup and then full restore? I can use SuperDuper or Time Machine.
Any ideas?
Message was edited by: darrenv

What OS do you have on the Power Book? If you have an older OS on the PowerBook, you won't be able to restore that clone to your new computer, as you can't have an OS older than the hardware.
Here is what I would do. Clone the drive to an external. Then run migration assistant and transfer your files. Then see if the problems persist. If everything is good, then no worries. If problems persist, I would bite the bullet, do a clean install, and unfortunately, drag and drop. You really only need to drag the main folders of your Home folder (Documents, Movies, Pictures, Music). That's where usually all the user-created content is. If you have it saved in other locations, you'll have to move that. I save all my stuff in these folders, so a drag+drop is pretty simple when I need to do it.
As for your app settings and app support in your Library folder, on a computer that old, I'd reinstall all those apps, and go through my app preferences from scratch. Depending on how many apps you have, it's not a daunting task.
I actually enjoy clean installs, as they give me an opportunity to get rid of junk I don't need, and apps I don't use. Plus they make your computer run faster.

After Installing Beta 2 Flash Plugin Not Working

After I installed the Beta 2 the projects won't run because
the correct Flash Version is not recognized. I get the error:
Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This content
requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash
I even get this on the Flex Builder Start Page. I have
reinstalled the latest version several times but Flex projects and
Start Page still give me this message. I can view other Flash stuff
fine.

Hehe, no I was not. I was clicking on the "Get Flash" link
that was displayed in the Flex Builder Start Page which takes you
to the normal Flash download page. I don't always read instructions
before diving in so I wonder if and where where this is documented
- I will look and see. Please note that also during the Flex
Builder installation the installer told me it was installing the
plugins - obviously it did not. Thanks for your help.

Fireworks not working on main user

I purchased the new WebPremium CS3 last year when it came out
and I can't use Fireworks on my computer unless I create a new user
and use it on that user. It is a real pain as I have to keep
switching users and find the files in the shared folders. I wasted
a day with Adobe uninstalling and re-installing this before they
told me it was a known issue. I have Windows XP service pack 2, and
thought that they would do an update to repair this, as a few other
programs I use need Fireworks to work properly. But here it is
almost three months later and nothing. Has anyone else experienced
this? And did you find a fix that their technicians don't know
about? It was only after talking to them off and on all day that
someone told me it was an issue, as it seemed a new problem to the
other three people I spoke to. I get this error when I try to open
Fireworks. "the application fireworks has unexpectedly quite. A
crash report has been generated"
Thanks

In case anyone wants to know what the issue was with
Fireworks, it is apparently a connection to Dreamweaver! What I had
to do was to export all the sites I have listed, and then go into
the regedit and rename the Fireworks folder (within the Adobe
folder) and the sites folder (that path is: adobe - common - 9 -
sites). Then Fireworks would open. I imported all my sites at once,
and Fireworks wouldn't open again. So I went back and changed the
newly created folders in Reg edit again and then one by one
imported my sites until I found the one that was causing the
problem. I deleted it and then renamed it, and set up that file
again and everything worked. ( I imagine if you just deleted them
all from your list of sites, that would work too, if you weren't
keen on touching your regedit) The issue with the site that was
causing the problem was (I think) that the person's web site has an
apostrophe and although their domain doesn't, I named the site this
in the manage sites section, and it allowed it but screwed up
Fireworks.
It's a strange problem and this is the way they've worked
around it. I'm most relieved to be able to use Fireworks within the
same user again!

Flash Player does not work with Standard User, but will work when browser is "Run as Administrator"

I don't understand why this is happening, but Flash Player will not work when a Standard User is using the browser. It will only work when the browser is run as an administrator. Any way to fix this? I've tried to uninstall, and reinstall the player, and it still wouldn't work.
The user is on Windows 7, 64-bit. Using IE 10.
Flash not working for Standard User - YouTube

Any update to provide at all here guys? Again, in my situation, it's very much rights-related as a standard user doesn't even report that the flash player exists when testing it on the Adobe Flash Version Detection website (despite it showing up in Control Panel and under Add/Remove Programs). I've already tried giving the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed and files/subfolders appropriate permissions for the standard user and still nothing. If I either give the user in question full local admin rights or logon as the domain admin, then the Adobe Flash Version Detection website says Flash is installed and Flash works fine.
Thoughts???

Fingerprint utility is not working for normal users - Tecra M11

Hi All,
I installed windows 7 pro in Tecra M11 laptop and the Toshiba finger print utility is not working for normal users.
It is working only for domain administrators. The TFPU is not working for, normal domain users, local users, local administrators. If we run the utility it will ask to enter the windows password and once we applied the password then the message saying "entered password is not valid" will prompt even if we are trying to use the utility first time.
If we try with a domain admin account it will work without any problem. Can somebody help me to trouble shoot this issue?
Thanks.

People nowadays experienced that no matter How many times we glide our finger it have no response.In this instance, you might be very afraid of Windows password lost by reason that there is a plenty of important data on your PC.
Then what should you do? One choose is fix the Fingerprint scanners, but this method will cost a lot of money. The other is use the Windows password function to solve the problem. Certainly, this is a very safer, faster and easier to use method for you.
According my personal experience, you can try these three ways to re-access to your PC:
Method 1: Login with the default administrator account
* Step 1: Start Windows PC
* Step 2: When you can see the Windows login screen, press ctrl+alt+del keys Twice and it'll show Classic Login box
* Step 3: Type Administrator as Username and leave the password field blank
* Step 4: Press the Enter Key and then you can be able to login the default windows administrator account which is it created by default when install windows.
*Note:* This trick is only work for Windows XP. And when you input the key combination Please don't put the cursor on any account. And if you change the name or password before, you cannot login by this way.
Method 2: Use the previous password reset disk
This method describes how to create and use a password reset disk for a computer that is a member of a domain. You can use a Windows password reset disk to gain access to your Microsoft Windows Professional-based computer if you forget your Windows password. Please click here to learn more.
Method 3: Using Windows Password Unlocker
Using Windows password remove software is could be the fastest and easiest way for you to reset your Windows password while you didn't create a password reset disk before.
There are 2 options for you: recover Windows password with a bootable CD/DVD or recover Windows password with a USB flash drive.
Before starting, a bootable CD/DVD or USB flash drive and a computer with CD drive are required. (Internal CD drive and external CD drive are both OK.
Option 1: Recover Windows password by burning a bootable CD/DVD
Option 2: Recover Windows password by burning a USB flash drive
The whole Windows password recovery process can be divided to 3 big steps:
* >> Step 1: Burn a USB flash drive to remove lost Windows password
* >> Step 2: Set your target computer to boot from USB
* >> Step 3: Recover forgotten Windows password with the burned USB flash drive
In fact, all you need is a *Windows Password Unlocker www.passwordunlocker.com/windows-password-recovery.html which can help you directly reset your windows xp password, and then you can login your XP without a password required. Of course, there are also some other ways to do it, but this way may be most convenient one.

Flash Player not working in Firefox

Suddenly Firefox will not play flash player content called
when I play games online. It worked fine a few days ago.
When I click on the link, it opens the game page, but where
the game should appear, I see a blank black box. When I click on
the "Play online game" link I also get a large empty black box.
I am running Windows XP on an HP Pavilion ze2315us laptop. I
recently installed trial version of Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro.
In efforts to fix the problem I tried the following:
Removed adblocker addresses that might conflict.
Checked blocked sites
Removed and reinstalled Flash Player.
Reinstalled Firefox.
Set folder options to use Firefox to open SWF files
All to no avail.
I tried the web site in IE. Had to download and install Flash
Player again but it works fine in IE.
Afterwards, it still did not work in Firefox.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
I have a similar problem in Linux Fedora 16.

Please, in which OS did you worked?
In the past I with other versions, it did work without any problem.
Perhaps I can look if I have firewall is turned on?
Thanks in advance for any answer,

I just updated my Apple TV 2 and now it is flashing and not working at all. Help

I just did the update to version 5.2 on our ATV2 and now I'm having the exact same problem as the OP- all attempts to access any iTunes services i.e. Movies or TV result in dropping back to the ATV Main menu. Per Winston's suggestion, I logged out of iTunes and then tried to log back in. I am getting a message "the server is not responding- please try again later".
FWIW- all my non-iTunes services on the ATV are working fine- i.e. Netflix and YouTube.
Sounds like the update has overwhelmed the Apple servers.
