Flash Video Re-install

Was having problems with Flash not playing some videos on my MacPro. They worked fine on my MacBookPro. Uninstalled Flash, using the supplied Adobe uninstaller and tried to re-install. I get an error message showing a newer version exists on the system disk, but I can't find it. If I double-click a flash video, it opens and plays in a Quicktime window. However, if Safari encounters a flash video, it tells me to install Flash Player.
Thanks in advance!

HI Harold,
Make sure you are reinstalling the last version which is here.

    Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • No matter how many uninstalls and reinstalls Firefox 4 will not play flash videos w the latest flash plugin installed. What do I do to get flash videos to play like everyone esle can?

    Trying to solve my non-playing flash videos wherever I surf in Firefox 401 w Flash plugin 10.2.159.1, such as CNN or anywhere really while surfing. Even at the Adobe web site I cannot play demo videos and I own CS4 Suite. I can play any YouTube video I select.
    I surf in Firefox 401 w Flash plugin 10.2.159.1. Don't tell me to UNINSTALL then REINSTALL the flash player as I have done that too many times.
    I logged out and logged into my clean account where I install nothing. No joy.
    What the heck is the problem? No one else seems to have this problem as I am told many play CNN videos fine.

    Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-or-flash-plugin-crashes Flash plugin troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of useful information in there that should help you get to the bottom of your issue.

  • Adobe Flash 11.4 Installed on pc, but doesn't appear in plugin add-on list. flash or youtube videos won't play

    Hi
    I updated to the latest flash player 11.4.402.287 today, both the activex or plugin versions appear in the flash manager. However, I am unable to play flash videos in youtube, the bar at the top indicates "Install missing plugin" I have repeated the installation process, it does appear to complete successfully, but again when attempting to play youtube videos the "install missing plugin appears" and videos will not play.
    I have also installed and re-installed the latest version of firefox today, thought that may help, seem to have the same problem. The flash player isn't listed in the plugin add on list. I'm not sure what else to do or what the problem could be.
    I would appreciate any advice, please

    H Shaun, <br/>I am using Ubuntu at the moment. I am not sure if the Adobe installer recognises you are on a 32 bit browser and even if it does it presumably allows you a choice, but why not just check and ensure it is a 32 bit version you have installed; and if in doubt uninstall and reinstall.
    If Flash is installed and suitable for Firefox it should show as a [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Gecko_Plugin_API_Reference/Plug-in_Basics#How_Gecko_finds_plug-ins listed] plugin so if it does not show something has gone wrong, and there can be little expectation of Flash working in Firefox.

  • Flash Video Arrives in Adobe Acrobat 9

    Adobe has released Acrobat 9. The newly released version now allows Flash Video contents, which makes it more powerful for business presentation.
    Actually, the concept of using multimedia files in PDF documents is nothing new. In the previous versions of Acrobat, you are able to embed QuickTime video and other formats into a PDF file. But you need an external media player installed on your computer for playing the video. Now in Adobe Acrobat 9, video can be played within a PDF document with no need to have any media player installed. Thus makes it more convenience to share.
    This is a challenging feature which will affect its surroundings. As we know, the similar program for business presentation, PowerPoint, now only supports video and SWF import. If you want to import an FLV file, you must convert the file to WMV, AVI, or MPEG, etc. which can be perfectly done with our product, Moyea FLV to Video Converter Pro 2.
    The following passages are some notable features related to video import:
    The powerful business version Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended provides more favorable features.
    Deliver a compelling branded experience using PDF Portfolios
    Create interactive, on-demand presentations with Adobe Presenter
    Easily share video in PDF files
    Share 3D designs and PDF maps
    With Acrobat 9 Pro, you can insert FLV or H.264 video for direct playback in Adobe Acrobat® and Adobe Reader. New Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro even enhances Creative Suite 3.3 which is the indispensable toolkit for professional design and print production.
    The Extended version provides even more powerful functions:
    Easily adding audio, video, and quizzes to your PowerPoint slides and create rich, interactive presentations with Adobe Presenter (included)
    Convert a variety of video formats to FLV for playback in PDF
    Embed video in Microsoft Word or PowerPoint and convert to FLV in PDF
    Convert 3D content to PDF for cross-platform sharing and collaboration
    Combine multiple CAD formats in one assembly and save as PDF with Adobe 3D Reviewer (included)
    Convert 2D and 3D designs from major CAD applications to PDF for use by extended teams without expensive CAD or viewer software
    Create PDF maps by importing geospatial files that retain metadata and coordinates
    In a word, Adobe 9 will totally change the communication and association of electronic files.

  • Flash Video Lag?

    I've been experienceing a kind of "Lag" in video playback.
    After about 10-15 minutes into the video, the video playback starts to lag behind the audio.
    The audio plays fine, at it normal speed, while the video will become out of sync and you can notice that the mouth of the people in the video are moving far slower than the audio playback.
    System Information
    Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.110622-1506)

    The issue (lag) is happening in Firefox 8.0.1 and Chrome 15.0.874.121
    (I do not have IE installed so am not aware if the issue exist in that browser)
    I have tried all the steps here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Performance_or_display_issues_with_cer tain_Flash_videos
    None of those have resloved the issue.
    Notes: This issue is occuring on 2 other laptops in home. One running Windows Vista, the other is running Windows 7 same as the laptop from above.
    There is a 4th laptop, running Windows 7, which is not experienceing the "Lag" issue: But I believe that is due to Flash 10 being installed instead of Flash 11 like the others.
    I will be downgrading the flash version on one of the problem laptop to see if that will resolve the issue.

    I seem to have resolved the issue...
    Adobe Flash Updated to a x64 but Firefox is not available in x64.
    So I just uninstalled the x64 version of Flash, and manually downloaded/installed the x32 version
    Videos are play all the way through with No lag that I've noticed as of yet. Have checked 5 videos (each about 30min)
    Firefox x64 is currently under development. There's a third party version of Firefox x64 available called Waterfox, download from here: http://waterfoxproj.sourceforge.net/downloads
    However, because it's not an official Mozilla release, it might be prone to bugs. If the 32-bit version of Flash works for you, then I would stick with it if I were you. You know the old saying, "If it works, don't fix it".

  • Problem with Flash video/dropdowns in Mozilla

    Am trying to add a flash video to a webpage using a
    Dreamweaver extension called Active Slideshow Pro by DMXZone.
    The page can be viewed: www.faith.org.uk/Testindex.html
    In IE7 it works fine. The video shows and the dropdowns of
    the menu work correctly.
    In Mozilla Firefox the video works but the dropdowns do not
    show.

    A discussion with Adobe support lends the idea that MPEG
    layer 4 might be an issue. That since these videos come from DVD
    perhaps encoded with MPEG layer 4 that that could be the reason tha
    all of them have this problem. (Some were done using AVI - I have
    to check and see if that makes a difference)
    BUT
    According to the PDF from Adobe Design - Flash Video Encoder
    Wizard - By Tom Green and Jordan L. Chilcott
    Flash should be able to convert an MPEG4 file. (Well it does
    but they all stop after 30 sec.) Now how do I solve this problem?
    All the videos still stop after 30 sec.s
    quote snip snip>>
    Flash Video Encoder Wizard
    By Tom Green and Jordan L. Chilcott
    The first thing you have to understand about the use of video
    in Flash® is the original
    video must be converted to a format Flash can read. This
    format is FLV (Flash Video)
    and you can either use Flash, the Flash Video Encoder, or
    third-party software to
    create the FLV file. If you use video-editing software such
    as Adobe® After Effects®,
    you can also export the file as a FLV file. If you are a
    Dreamweaver® user, the current
    version of Dreamweaver—Dreamweaver 8—contains a
    feature that allows you to add
    an FLV at the click of a button.
    The purpose of the Encoder, therefore, is to convert the
    video file to the FLV format.
    When you installed Flash Professional 8, the Flash Video
    Encoder application was
    also installed on your machine. If you also have QuickTime,
    Adobe After Effects,
    Avid Studio, or Final Cut Pro installed on your machine,
    they, too, were given the
    capability to use the Encoder when it was installed.
    If you will be converting a video to the FLV format, the
    video must be in one of
    these formats:
    • AVI—Audio Video Interleave
    • MOV—QuickTime 4 or later
    • MPEG—Motion Picture Experts Group

  • Flash videos embedded in Facebook don't appear when played

    My computer is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Internet Explorer 11, and Adobe Flash Player 14.0.0.145. I have Microsoft Security Essentials and an activated copy of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware protecting me from viruses and malware, and my IT department confirms that there is no malware infection playing a role here.
    I am, however, having an odd and very frustrating problem with playing all Adobe Flash videos which are embedded inside of Facebook.com, including those which are shared from YouTube. Opening the same YouTube video in YouTube.com does not produce the same behavior - YouTube videos ALWAYS play fine on YouTube.com (whether embedded or full-screen), but NEVER play fine when they are embedded inside of a Facebook post.
    NOTE: The same videos work EXACTLY AS EXPECTED in Firefox and Google Chrome, so this seems to be an IE-specific issue. This started back when I was running IE10 and has continued over into IE11.
    Here is what happens in both Internet Explorer 10 and 11:
    In my Facebook news feed, I locate a video I would like to watch. Before pressing Play, I see a still shot from the video with the Play icon transposed on top of the picture.
    I click the Play icon to play the video in Facebook's embedded mode (where I can see other news feed messages above and below the video).
    The picture disappears and turns to white (no borders, just white). Along the bottom edge of the video is a bar containing the play/pause, volume, maximize, etc. buttons. Behind these buttons I can see a faded-yet-moving view of the bottom edge of the video, but the rest of the video area is completely white.
    I hear the audio playing, even though I can't see any picture other than that lower edge I just described.
    If I click the maximize button at the bottom right edge of the video, the video opens to fill the screen and the video picture suddenly appears and runs as expected.
    If I press ESC to get out of maximize view, the embedded Facebook screen (with the video again back to the news feed context) returns, but the picture goes white again just as in step 3, with the audio still playing as in step 4.
    Right clicking on the offending video brings up a drop-down menu indicating that the video is using Adobe Flash Player 14.0.0.145.
    Other videos shared in Facebook, like those from vimeo.com, play without any problem in the same Facebook.com news feed view, regardless of whether they are in embedded or in full-screen mode. Only videos using Adobe Flash Player seem affected here.
    I have tried the following:
    Uninstalled Adobe Flash Player. Reboot. Open Facebook.com, find the video in the news feed, which indicates that Adobe Flash must be installed. Click the link provided and install Adobe Flash from adobe.com. Return to the video in my news feed on facebook.com and click play. Same behavior as described above - no change.
    Added facebook.com and youtube.com to my Trusted Sites list. No change.
    Added facebook.com and youtube.com to IE's compatibility view, exited all instances of the browser, reopened. No change.
    Checked for unusual browser add-ons - none found.
    Cleared web cache, deleted cookies, reset browsers to default settings and default advanced settings - no change
    Checked Windows Updates - all updates are current.
    Ran full scans of Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes. No malware or issues found. No issues found with roguekiller, adwcleaner, and other malware-related tools either.
    Any suggestions for me here? I'd really just like to click Play and see the embedded video like everybody else can. FYI, all other computers (running Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8) on my network play these same videos in IE9, IE10, and IE11 without the problems I'm having with this one. I'd sure appreciate any help you can offer!

    Not that the moment.  It's not ideal, but you have two working options, which is better than none. 
    In all likelihood, the content providers are going to have to change code to accommodate IE11 and higher.  I spent a bunch of time this week reviewing some technical guidance that we're putting together for developers, but the long and short of it is that IE wants to developers to stop writing code that handles IE differently than other browsers. 
    IE has a history of not exactly working like other browsers, and for a multitude of reasons (including how JavaScript and Flash communicate to each other), developers as a standard practice wrote a lot of code to specifically handle these quirks in IE.
    To get out of this impossible position where they want markup to be the same for all browsers, but having all of this code targeted specifically at IE because of the long legacy of being problematic for web developers, IE masquerades as something else and disables features like conditional comments that allowed code to target IE.
    The net result is that a lot of stuff is broken in IE11.  We're working closely with Microsoft to be good partners and help them through this transition with a few technical changes on our end, but developers are going to have to change their code and/or update the underlying libraries all over the web.  This is not going to happen overnight.  Big content providers with more resources will probably move faster than smaller sites with less developers, but it's going to be months or years before all of this shakes out.

  • Any Flash Videos don't work in Safari 5.1 anymore...

    Hi guys,
    I did a fresh install of OS X Lion, and everything was working fine so far.
    I even didn't have to install flash or so, the YouTube videos were working fine (CPU hungry as usual, but it was working).
    Today, it suddently stoped to work. I tried to uninstall Flash, reinstall it but I can't get any flash videos... from any website.
    However, everything works fine on Chrome... so it's weird.
    The only thing I could think right now is the fact I did replace some Quicktime codec to add some format... Unfortunately, I didn't save the ones I replaced
    It seems to be the only operation I did since the time it was working fine.
    1) Can someone confirm me that quicktime codec could mess up the Flash video playback in Safari and not in Chrome?
    2) Does anyone has the original quicktime codec to download? (from your /System/Library/Quicktime and from /Library/Quicktime folders)
    Any help would be very welcomed
    Thanks,
    Phil

    With help of someone else and hours and hours of hard fighting, I finally got it to work again by downloading and installing the new Flash 11 beta, available on Adobe Labs website...
    I don't know if it did "fix" anything, but at least it works again...

  • Flash videos don't work with PepperFlash disabled (but with system plugin enabled) on Chrome!

    Hello everyone,
    Basically, Google Chrome lags a lot when I use PepperFlash and so I have heard that disabling it and using the system flash will have better performance. I have done this but when I disable PepperFlash, the flash videos don't work as it says flash player has crashed. Also, I would like to resolve the lag and bad performance with flash videos on chrome because the video playback on Internet Explorer is a lot better than Chrome(Never thought I would have to say that) atm. A possible solution might be to install 32-Bit Chrome instead
    Summary:
    Flash videos lag(most likely due to PepperFlash being used according to other people)
    When PepperFlash is disabled, the system flash plugin does not work in chrome as it apparently crashes every time.
    I would like help on how to resolve the bad performance and be able to use the system flash plugin to have no lag on videos and livestreams.
    Thanks,
    Talha

  • Firefox crashes as soon as Flash video tries to load and Safari shows the error "Plug-in Failure"

    I am unable to use Youtube or view Flash video on any sites.
    Firefox crashes/quits as soon as a video tries to load and Safari shows the error "Plug-in Failure".
    I have uninstalled Flash, downloaded a fresh version and installed, but no joy.
    I am using OS X 10.6.6.
    This is what I have tried so far;
    1. Repaired Permissions.
    2. Restarted with external drive and run Disk repair.
    3. Restarted with external drive and run DiskWarrior.
    4. Completely uninstalled Flash plugin. Robooted. Reinstalled Flash plugin. Rebooted.
    5. I even installed an earlier version of the plugin to see if there was some incompatibility with the latest version.
    6. Created a new user login and tried from there. Same problem.
    Any ideas?

    You have what is necessary for Flash Player to be working. Firefox had some issues last year but it was after loading a video or the website. I had not heard of it lately and even last year don't recall it happening on the Macs.
    What is happening with yours sounds like a direct conflict with some addon/extension.
    Here is the link from Firefox describing what happened last year. You might want to see if there is anything more current.

  • Why can't I view embedded flash videos on my MacBook Pro?

    I can view videos on Youtube and embedded videos on some  sites, but when I try to view embedded Flash videos on sites like CNN.com and NBA.com, I just get a black rectangle and nothing loads. I've tried this on all browsers. BTW, I also cannot open up tinted ads that come up in Google searches. I have the latest version of Flash, and I've deleted browsing data and settings and have checked "Allow sites to save info." I've disabled pop-up window blocker. I have no ad blocking software. I've installed the latest Flip4Mac plugin. I have even set up a new user account and tried these sites with that account to see if the problem goes away (it didn't).
    I have a 12 inch 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro with OS 10.8.3 installed (though the problem started when I still had Snow Leopard). I have all the latest browsers and , as I've said above, the latest Flash. I've tried both Java 7 and Java 6. I should also point out that I can access these sites without problem with my office Macbook Pro, which is a 15 inch Core 5, loaded with the same software I have on my problem 12 inch notebook.
    Any suggestions?

    You have JavaScript enabled in all the browsers, yes? Have you tried launch the browsers in Safe Mode?

    Not aware of a 12-inch Intel MBP. Anyway, could you possibly have an old version of flash player on your computer too. Look in the In the Internet Plug-ins folder to be sure you have only one flash player plugin. Path is HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin
    Also try searching your hard disk for flash.
    Some other things to try are in this thread.

  • Is there a way to watch Flash videos in a window?

    I want to know if this is possible...
    Because I want to watch like 4 flash videos at the same time...all i have to do is open and resize them so that 4 of them will fit in my screen...
    I am using Windows Xp and Adobe Flash player 10
    TIA

    I have several applications that can do this on my Mac, and at least two are available for Windows XP: RealPlayer and QuickTime Player, both are free downloads. To open FLV files in QuickTime for Mac, I installed a free codec device called Perian. There will probably be a similar codec available for XP.
    After you open one video file, you have to choose "New Player" and then File > open or it will simply switch out of the first video and into the second.
