Flash quits working when I restart my computer and I have to uninstall and reinstall every time
HELP! I've been working on this for 11 hours non-stop!
I have Windows 7 64bit. I'm using the newest Firefox browser. I install Flash and it seems to sort of work. It is in my Control Panel Uninstall programs with the Flash icon.
When I restart my computer and go to the Adobe site it shows that Flash isn't working. It's still in the Control Panel Uninstall programs BUT it has no icon. So I have to uninstall it and reinstall it to use it.
When I go to any Zynga.com games and right click on the game window the Flash window opens but when I click on Settings it freezes and I have too right click and left click a lot for it to go away. So I can't allow the site to use 100% of Flash to run on the site. Once in a while if I wait a few minutes Settings will open and I set it to 100% but when I go back and look at it later it says I am using 0%.
I have Norton 360 and have turned it off and uninstalled and reinstalled repeatedly only to have the same problem occur.
Before I installed Windows 7 and had Vista Ultimate it worked better but still not as good as it should have.
Also in my Firefox plugins Shockwave is there but no Flash plugin is ever there with Flash installed or uninstalled. Should Flash be there and where did Shockwave come from? Firefox?
Do I need Shockwave for Zynga or Facebook games? Or at all for that matter. I'll install it for no good reason as long as it doesn't screw something up.
After 11 hours of this Adobe HELL I am burnt! So ANY help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks to anyone who can help me. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Running latest version of both Firefox (19.0.2) and Adobe Flash (11.6.602.171) as of the date of this post.
I'm using Windows 7.
This problem has been going on for a few months (maybe even a year). I can't remember the last time this didn't happen.
This problem doesn't occur with Google Chrome, and it is getting very irritating.I am having the same problem. I use Ubuntu 12.04 and use Flash version 11.2 r202. Since Ubuntu went canonical with 19.02. Firefox has been crashing endlessly. I uninstalled and installed a strip down version only with Flash. It still crashes.
Do anyone have a solution? I disable all acceleration and there is no other plugin running? -
I have recently bought a new laptop with windows 7 and when i have tried to install and open itunes i keep getting the message 'itunes has stopped working' itunes then shuts down before i can do anything to fix it. This happens every time I try to open itunes. I have tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling it, starting itunes in safe mode. Nothing seems to work. Please can anyone help.
If and when I finally manage to open it, as soon as I click on a movie to watch, the message "itunes has stopped working" comes up.
Try the following user tip with that one:

Firefox will not work, it suddenly stopped, and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling
Last week firfox suddenly stopped working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but still will not repsond. But when I have tried to uninstall it says it can't because it is running, but in task manager there is no indication in the window firefox is running.
Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following article:-
-> Software Update not working properly
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly
Check and tell if its working. -
I responded to install new software message and was asked to restart--I did that--went to lunch and when I returned my screen showed the message that said, "unable to complete update for unknown reason" or something to that regard-and asked me to restart. I tried to restart and now see the apple but the time scroll is in an unending loop and my computer will not boot.-I recently installed snow leopard in order to be able to sync my mobile me accounts--since then my computer runs hot. Not sure if that has anything to do with current issue.
You will need to reinstall Snow Leopard:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the appropriate Combo Updater to return to the Snow Leopard version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/. -

This problem only began today and only with Webkinz.com
When my daughter went to login, the new window where she logs in was in the bottom right corner. I pulled it up to the display and it stayed there. When she tried to log in again later on in the day, the login window appeared in the bottom right corner of the screen again.Open Firefox -> Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now you can Enable the Add-ons and it should be ok. Check and tell if its working. -

Hi ljones,
Welcome to the Sony Community!

Car video installation -- when product goes bad, who pays to have it uninstalled and reinstalled?
so i purchased a pair of LCD screens built into headrests for my new car from bestbuy.com. one of the monitors died during testing. the other has a faulty USB port. i called best buy (as this purchase was made two days ago) and they told me -- basically -- tough luck. i needed to pay to have them uninstalled, then they would ship me new ones, then i would have to pay to have them re-installed.
with the fact that this product had faults in both of its monitors right out of the box, essentially, i am worried that if i do that again i might get another bad set and have to go the process all over.
what does best buy do to insure that customers aren't getting screwed in this way? i feel like i'm totally over a barrel here and have no choice but to just eat more installer fees.Tockeyhockey -
I am so sorry to hear that the items you purchased have malfuntioned. I can understand how this would be frustrating. If we initially performed the installation of the unit, then we would not charge you to remove the faulty product(s) and reinstall them. If we did not however, the store may charge for the labor involved to geting this done. If you had the products installed by someone else, I would advise speaking to them to see what there policy is.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.
Thanks!

It works until I restart the computer. I have tried every suggested fix I can find including:
Updated - latest version installed
Re-installed Adblock +
Drivers up to date
Acceleration is on
Reset Firefox
Malware Bites Pro runs continuous
Safe Mode
How do I send the crash reports?Basically, the script wrapper solution is: Firefox launcher gets changed to run a script, which in turn starts Firefox and also jumps through whatever hoops you need to fix the problem. Not a pretty way to do things, but if the problem is indeed in zombie processes and/or junk data in local cache, this will do the job. So, instead of running '''''YourAppPath''/firefox.exe''' it would run '''''YourBatchPath''/firefox.bat''' that contains something like this:
* ''YourAppPath''/firefox.exe
* [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896683 pskill] -t ''YourFlashPlugin''.exe
* del ''YourFlashCachePath''/*.*
Of course, you'll need to do this manually first - take a look with Process Explorer at what processes FF launches and which of them fails to terminate and locate the cache (where Process Explorer / Process Monitor also helps), mop them up and see whether it helps.
If you're not used to this sort of things, show this message to someone who is, it will take a few minutes to either have it done or disprove my hypothesis about your bug (not likely, as it's rather typical, and FF sometimes manages to half-zombify itself even in Linux). -
i accidently downloaded something that made my webcam flash on spuradically even once i deleted it. when i restarted my computer it got stuck at the white loading screen with the grey apple and wont go past there..what is wrong? will applecare cover this? my computer also slowed down drastically before it stopped working..thanks! HELP PLEASE!
Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 7
Repeat Step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 8
This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. If you can't get to an Apple Store, go to another authorized service provider. -
After updating with iTunes 12.1 for Windows 8.1, when I restarted my computer, my headphones no longer work. According to my computer they do. Is this an iTunes issue? I did the audio troubleshooting and it says everything is fine. I have a Toshiba Satellite L75D-A7280.
Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
