Flash updates kills sound

I have a Mac 10.6.8 which on the last Adobe Flash update killed my sound.
I know nothing of computers - it is a glorified typewriter to me, so please advise how to remedy this in simple terms.
Technical terms are the death for me!

Hi,
Could you please let us know some more details?
Please go to the following page and let us know the Flash Player version and browser you use: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html#main_Find_the_Flash_ Player_version_installed_on_your_machine
Do you mean to say you don't hear any sound at all?
Thanks,
Sunil

Adobe Flash update killed iSight camera

Three days ago I updated Adobe Flash on my 13'' early 2011 MacBook Pro. Since then the systems can't find the built-in camera anymore. The system profiler can't find the cam. FaceTime and Skype can't use the camera anymore.
I did all the resets (SMC, PRAM) and nothing helped. The Diagnosis seems to be unavailable as the instructions on the Apple support website didn't work. The MBP starts as always. The only thing I didn't try is a complete clean install of Yosemite.
Has anyone else recognized any issue like that? Any idea how to find out if the cam is really broken? OSX and everything else is up to date.

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. You may have to leave the machine there for several days.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.

[SOLVED] gnome update killed sound on kde 4.9.2 system

the recent gnome-updates in testing seem to have broken my sound on kde 4.9.2. My sound system relied on pulseaudio, phonon-gstreeamer and gstreamer0.10. Since the update there ist only a 'dummy' entry in my soundmixer and no sound anymore. Did anybody experience the same?
Edit: Just downgraded with pacman -Syuu with all testing repos disabled. Sound is there again. This IS an update problem.

Adobe Flash Update infected Firefox with tons of viruses. Help!

I got with one of those annoying fake Adobe Flash Updates, and unfortunately fell for it and installed it, which has infected Firefox (and Chrome, and IE, for that matter) with tons of viruses that I CANNOT get rid of. I'm on a Windows 7 PC.
Basically, what they do:
- Adds "Enhanced Text" everywhere (text is underlined and leads to an ad)
- Adds unwanted banners on sites
- Frequent pop-ups
- Redirects my searches (Google is essentially unusable)
- Can't log-in to certain sites (eBay)
The last two are really killing me and making the internet very hard to enjoy. I've run Malwarebytes several times (first a quick scan, then a full scan), as well as TDSSKiller. Both detected malware and deleted them, but nothing changed. As per the internet's advice, I've tried disabling all my extensions/plug-ins, but doing that didn't help either - many reference specific extensions that cause these problems, like "CCodec" or "ghostery" but nothing like that appears in my add-ons menu. I went into Programs and Features and uninstalled anything suspicious-looking (which somehow lead to half that list disappearing? All my programs are still there, but for whatever reason that list shortened significantly), and still nothing.
I'm really at a loss here. None of my browsers are working properly and nothing I do seems to help.

Looks like you need to be locked and loaded for a virus to come, or just avoid it.
Can you try those scans in safe mode? Safe mode likely will prevent the malware from running at all during the safe mode session.

Virus Warning on Flash update

Hi
I keep getting a virus warning when I try to DL your flash update (from adobe site). I am trying to get the windows version for XP. This has been going on a couple weeks now and I have not installed it. I saw others have had virus warnings with Flash after installing.
NOD says it is a trojan possibly similar to the win32 genetik
Thanks,

The main problem with these kind of infections is that people do not pay enough

Always download Flash Player updates only from the original Adobe or Macromedia site!
Always download Windows updates only from the original Microsoft site!
This goes for all software: always download software updates only from the original manufacturer's site!
I always download from the site both adobe and microsoft and that darn virus got me too! So it was not their fault
this one is a doozy. It is a dropper type trojan. I even wiped my computer and it found a way within a week to re-activate
itself.It had embed invisable code when it arrived so don't know if that had anything to do with it. It also opened a second portal
and changed the registry. The only thing that killed that picking sorry bisket eater was that microsoft antimalware tool. The first
go round I couldn't even download that for I was locked out. It had disabled javascript and removed my start button even and
was unable to get system restore to work.. After wiping my computer finally I was able to download the microsoft anti-malware
tool and finish it off for it was still lurking in my system. It took me a month of battling that sorry virus to kill it out of my entire system.
It was ALIVE I TELL YA.,Thank God for Microsoft! I had good virus protection and a firewall and it got me anyways so it helps to also
know what to do.

We got a Flash update yesterday, 11/12/11, and now FF runs slow and needs a "Force Quit" to quit. Help!

That's pretty much the details. I can't be sure the Flash update caused the problem because Safari runs fine with the same update. This happened once before after a system update. Opening Safari the last time cured it. Not this time!

Thanks Hans for the suggestion, but I do not own a copy of DiskWarrior. I think that because I don't own any disk utilities other than what are on the OS X install disk, I will try those tools for now. The archive and install function sounds a little nerve wrecking- I'm guessing it means it will archive any user files, and overwrite any system files? Because I can't boot the computer I am not able to backup some of my recent work before doing this. Should I expect the wost when doing this- or have people used this function without the loss of any files?
UPDATE: The person who is letting me use their computer found a DW utility and they are currently waiting for the files so I can copy them to a CD. It is labeled as DW 4 and the .rar says it will create a bootable cd. Should I hold of on any action until the DW disc is ready? I guess there is a chance the file will not be complete, or be a fake- I will be extracting it and burning the disc on a PC.....

Cannot publish Flash Updates Verification of file signature failed for file SCUP 2011, SCCM 2012 R2 and WSUS all on same Windows Server 2012 machine

I am attempting to distribute Adobe Flash updates using SCUP 2011, SCCM 2012 R2, WSUS ver4 and Windows Server 2012. Everything installs without error. I have acquired a certificate for SCUP signing from the internal Enterprise CA. I have
verified the signing certificate has a 1024 bit key. I have imported the certificate into the server's Trusted Publishers and Trusted Root CA stores for the computer. When I attempt to publish a Flash update with Full content I receive the following
error:
2015-02-13 23:00:48.724 UTC Error Scup2011.21 Publisher.PublishPackage PublishPackage(): Operation Failed with Error: Verification of file signature failed for file:

I have redone the certificates three times with no luck. I can import metadata, but any attempt to download content results in the verification error.
TIA

Hi Joyce,
This is embarrassing, I used that very post as my guide when deploying my certificate templates, but failed to change the bit length to 2048. Thank you for being my second set of eyes.
I changed my certificate key bit length to 2048, deleted the old cert from all certificate stores, acquired the a new signing cert, verified the key length was 2048, exported the new cert to pfx and cer files, imported into my Trusted publishers
and Trusted Root Authorities stores, reconfigured SCUP to use the new pfx file, rebooted the server and attempted to re-publish the updates with the following results:
2015-02-16 13:35:44.006 UTC Error Scup2011.4 Publisher.PublishPackage PublishPackage(): Operation Failed with Error: Verification of file signature failed for file:

Is there a chance this content was already created and signed with the old cert, so installing the new cert has no effect? In ConfigMgr software updates I see 4 Flash updates, all marked Metadata Only (because they were originally published as "Automatic."
No Flash updates in the ConfigMgr console are marked as downloaded. I can't find any documentation on how the process of using SCUP for downloading content for an update marked Metadata Only actually works.
Comments and suggestions welcome.

Flash update 12.0.0.77

Just wanted to make someone that works in the software department aware that Flash or Active X 12.0.0.77 is crashing videos on youtube. I work in a computer repair department and this is the 6th computer that after the flash update is done it no longer plays youtube videos. Once I disable it in addons it starts playing videos again. There is something wrong with the update FYI

Appreciate the "heads up", but... six computers is hardly a "bug".
More than ten thousand people an hour wordlwide download and install Flash Player with no problems... all day, every day.
My experience here has taught me that 99.99999% of the time, it's either hardware or third party software causing the problems.
Everything from ad blockers, to ActiveX filters in IE, to bad video drivers can cause Flash playback problems.
Add to that, Microsoft really screwed up IE11 by rewriting the User Agent Strings so most sites don't even recognize the browser anymore, let alone the plug-ins. Disabling it will force some sites (like YouTube) to default to HTML5 videoplayback that requires no plug-in, and that's what you're probably seeing.

You Tube requires Flash update. Worked for laptop Windows 7 but not PC Windows Vista. Can you help?

You Tube said I needed latest Adobe Flash Player, so uninstalled old version and reinstalled latest version 11.6.602.171 on PC running Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 32-bit OS. My system says it's there, but it still won't work on You Tube - still get same message saying Ineed latest version.
Had same message on my Laptop running Windows 7 and it updated and works fine. I use Internet Explorer 9.
Detailed Problem Description: Problem with downloading latest Adobe Flash update and viewing YouTube. On PC running Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 32-bit OS, You Tube home page red banner at top said I needed to install latest Adobe Flash Player but even after installing, it does not work and will not play most videos in browser and shows black screen with message still asking to download latest version. Seems to be rather random as to which videos it will play and which ones it won't, although there may be some common link (see examples below). I thought it might have been HTML5 problem but I have successfully played HTML5 and Non-HTML videos through Adobe test site (Adobe Flash Player Help/Video Playback Issues) as well as Stage Videos. (Note: Had same You Tube messages when viewing on Laptop running Windows 7 but that updated without problem.)
Ran Adobe Uninstall. Closed all other programs before reinstalling direct from Adobe (rather than You Tube link). No change.
Ran all Adobe troubleshooting suggestions listed at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9_.
Removed browsing data and deleted cache, checked that Internet Tools\Safety\Active X filtering was disabled (but in Internet Option\Security, Active X controls are enabled), disabled Hardware Acceleration, restarted computer but no change to You Tube viewing. Re-enabled, but no change. (WOULD LOVE ADVICE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE IF I SHOULD KEEP THIS ENABLED OR DISABLED.)
I have updated graphics drivers for NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT- although had to do manually as NVIDIA auto system scan said "could not detect your GPU". Noted they said Windows Vista supports up to Direct X 10, but my system is running Direct X 11. Had optional update message for "nVidia Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM 1.2, other Hardware NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT" on both PC & laptop. Laptop downloaded fine. Tried to download on PC but was not successful. Error Code 80070103, possibly because system had already been updated? Current driver version 9.18.13.1407 - "Windows has determined that your current driver software is up to date".
Running Norton 360 but it did not block or indicate any problems with Flash Player download.
Problem URL: http://www.youtube.com/?utm_source=navclient (red banner at top of home page says I still need to download latest Adobe Flash).

Dear Chris,
Thanks for reply. I ran the recommened Adobe uninstall program so assumed it deleted whatever it should have, before installing new version. When it didn't work I followed instructions in Flash Player help page (screen shot below) which said to delete the Roaming App Data/Macromedia/Flash folder and Roaming App Data/Adobe/Flash folder, which I did.
Below are screen shots of C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash files as they currently stand. I have a fuzzy recollection that it was deleted at some point because I think I went searching for it during one troubleshooting session and it couldn't be found (but maybe I'm geting confused with the App Date folders?). Anyway I presume these current files are all post-reinstallation as the dates are all 5 or 6 March (did them before and after midnight). I'm on Australian time - not sure where you are. However, notice install.log date is 21/05/2010 and Flash Player Trust sub-folder is dated 6/09/2008.
When I right click on the screen of both videos that will and won't play, I just get a list of options starting at "Copy video URL" down to "About HTML5". So not sure what you mean when you say "For the videos that do play, when you right click on them what version of Flash Player is reported at the bottom of the context menu?" as I can't see any info like this. Do I click somewhere else?
If you are able to get the info you are after yourself, two videos that will work are:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLKlTN1JN7w and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGbrFmPBV0Y
Also, with hardware acceleration enabling or disabling, the only place I can find to do this is through the Adobe Flash Help page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9_
and right clicking on the Flash Player info box, going into Settings and checking or unchecking the Enable box. Do you know if there is another setting in my actual computer where I can do this and or there's some other setting I need to change? There doesn't seem to be anything similar when I go through Conrol Panel - Flash Player.
5. Delete all Flash Player browsing data
a.. Click Start > Control Panel.
b.. Double-click Flash Player.
c.. In the Flash Player Setting Manager, click Advanced.
d.. Under Browsing Data and Settings, click Delete All.
6. Remove Flash Player cache
a.. On your computer, select Start > Run. (On Windows 7, click Start and type in Search Programs and Files.)
b.. Type %appdata%\Adobe and click OK.
c.. Delete the Flash Player folder.
d.. Repeat step 1 and type %appdata%\Macromedia.
e.. Delete the Flash Player folder.

Why are there so many flash updates?

Why are there so many Flash updates… I have had two in the last week and at least one more since the start of the year. It seems to have really got silly this last 12 months, is Flash really that unsecure and unstable that it needs this many fixes and updates?
I know you can tick the install in background box when updating but I like to know what is going onto my computer and given Adobe's knack of crashing my system when using PS and AI I don't really want them silently installing anything.

99% of the time the update gets prompted by Youtube or BBC when videos won't play on there sites and I follow the links through them. You would like to think that big sites like these would not allow false links to malware to crop up, but it isn't out of the question. Next stop, up to date anti virus…..
As far as Youtube goes I thought they had adopted HTML 5 now as standard and didn't rely on Flash?

Hate to suggest this, but you need to ask in the Flash forum. This forum is for Acrobat.
