Flash will not stop crashing and is continuously getting worse, no matter how often I update or downgrade.

For a few months now, Flash has been continuously degrading and falling apart, getting worse and worse and worse even without any new updates, changes in settings, driver updates or anything. It's actually falling apart very organically, which completely baffles me, and I've yet to find a way to make it work.
Flash failing is universal, not just in Firefox. It does this whether I update to the latest, or downgrade to 10.3 or 11.2. I've turned off protected mode. Hardware mode has been turned off for months, and turning it back on obviously didn't help at all. I'm running the latest drivers available for my laptop, but downgrading them doesn't help either. Any program that uses flash doesn't work; this means right now I can't listen to music or play videos even offline. I can't even use Skype. Yet small things work, like gmail has never crashed me, and I can browse YouTube as long as I don't start up a video.
Basically my computer has been rendered near useless and I -need- help. :(

I tried everything - when downgrading, the flash plugin wont start anymore - it just says "CLick here to activate plugin" and no reaction. The new version of flash always initially work and start crashing a few days later.
I scanned my PC for viruses. What next?

    My Apple Macbook 13.3" Laptop-Black 2008 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo will not boot up and instead I get a grey screen with a folder and a question mark over it.  I've tried Option key, and Control S keys and it still will not boop up.  Can anyone help?

    If you are running Snow Leopard:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    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 Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    If you are running Lion or later:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet

  • HT4528 I've purchased a few dozen songs from itunes on my iphone. A few of these songs will not download properly and I keep getting a "unable to download song" message. My account info is correct and full signal.

    I've purchased a few dozen songs from itunes on my iphone. A few of these songs will not download properly and I keep getting a "unable to download song" message. My account info is correct and full signal. It seems to continually keep trying to download but cannot. Please help!

    i do understand that.  if you purchased the music on the phone.  its still available to you.  if you go in itunes on your computer.  go to purchases.  there should be all the music you have purchased.  there you can download the song if it isn't already and then sync it to your phone which will add the song to the phone.  have you tried to power off phone and then try to download again.   the itunes way is just another option. 

  • I just tried updating ITunes to the new version and it will not completely download and now I get an error message of MSVCR80

    I just tried updating ITunes to the new version and it will not completely download and now I get an error message of MSVCR80. Is there a problem with the new iTunes version?
    Now ITunes won't open.Help!!!

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • My old hard drive crashed and had to get it replaced. How do I reinstall my old library to the new hard rive from my iphone4s so I don't lose my music?

    My old hard drive crashed and had to get it replaced. How do I reinstall my old library to the new hard drive from my iphone4s so I don't lose my music?

    Officially you don't. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    Note: The information below hasn't been updated since early 2013.

    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • Ever since I upgraded to 4.0, the welcome tab will not stop opening. It's getting rather annoying.

    The welcome tab for the new 4.0 will not stop opening every time I open my browser. Each time I open Firefox two tabs open, the welcome page for the new 4.0 and my home page. I updated some time ago and this welcome page is becoming quite annoying. How do I stop it from opening? In the past, it has stopped after the first time I open Firefox following an update.

    Thank you for the reply. I have Google set as my homepage, and that's the only homepage listed in the Options box. I tried restoring to default, but when I opened again, the 4.0 page and Google opened again. That leads me to think it might be options, but that article meant absolutely nothing to me.
    What I find strange is that when I have one Firefox window open, then open another Firefox window, only the Google page opens, not the "get to know 4.0" page.

  • My mail app will not stop crashing

    Alright so this has been going on for several months. My mail app kept crashing as soon as I opened it, so I deleted all of my mail accounts. I went back to the app and tried to re-enter my information, but as soon as I type in all of my log in informaton and press "continue," the app crashes over and over again. So I went to Settings and tried to enter my information there, but as soon as I had typed it and pressed "continue," once again it would not work. Does anyone know how t fix this? It's really getting on my nerves.
    All of my email accounts are Gmail, if that matters.

    You can try restoring the device or just try the Gmail app.  For Gmail, I think it's far better than the built-in Mail app.

  • Premiere pro CS6 will not stop indexing and conforming

  • My iPod nano, 6th generation, will not stop playing and none of the buttons will work

    I listen to audiobooks.  My iPod was fine, I just checked how far I was in this chapter.  I checked again 2 minutes later and I cannot get the screen to lite up nor can I control the volume.  But my book continues to play.  I plugged it in to charge with a wall charger, nothing.  I plugged into my computer and again nothing.
    It is only 3 weeks old, I use it about between 1-3 hours a day.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    Have you tried resetting it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Volume down buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • HT201401 iphone 3gs will not come on and message 21 appears saying phone in recovery mode. no updating or anything else was done. phone was on table all day

    iphone 3gs will not come on. tried to restore message 21 appears. phone will not come on or charge or do anything. phone has been sitting on table all day

    If your phone is in recovery mode, you've already lost ALL of the data on the phone. Your only choice now is to restore it from your most recent backup. You follow this by syncing your content back to your phone. Any data, on your phone, not backed up or in supported applications on your computer, is gone. iTunes content you can re-download for free.

  • Safari will not stop CRASHING! Reinstalled from disc and STILL crashing!

    Here is my tragic story...
    The day Safari 3.0 beta came out, I upgraded to it. I've had zero problems with it since until just recently. I was using my laptop without a power cord and received the "You are now running on reserve power..." warning. I left my computer for a moment and when I came back it had completely run out of power and turned itself off. As far as I know, its not supposed to do that and instead put itself to sleep and not turn completely off. Anyway, I plugged it in and booted it back up. I went back to work as usual, but shortly after launching Safari 3.0, which I'd been using right before the computer shut itself down, Safari just froze and then closed itself. I tried to reopen it and it did the same thing. This is without me even going to a web site.
    Long story short, I reverted back to 2.0 using the convenient uninstall package Apple provides in the Safari 3.0 beta. I thought this would solve all my problems, but it certainly did not. Immediately upon launching Safari 2.0, it crashed. Again, this is without me even going to a web site.
    This brings us to the present day. I was advised to remove all Safari files from my computer (of course I backed up my bookmarks etc.) and then to reinstall the original Safari 2.0 from the Tiger installation disc...
    I just finished doing that and, of course, immediately after launching Safari 2.0 that I had just reinstalled from the Tiger installation disc...it crashed without me even going to a web site.
    What do I need to do to get Safari 2.0 working on my computer again?!?!
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hi,
    Are you have installed some 3th party plugins ? or scripts that are related to the safari application.
    Did you try to trash the com.apple.Safari.plist in the Preferences folder ??
    An if this is not working ... try the following ...
    ** Try to run the un-stall program that came with Safari beta 3 AGAIN ... AGAIN. Some this my be a help.
    Post back with your comments.

  • IPhone 6 Blue Screen Crash Now my Phone will not stop crashing: Has Not turned back on after last crash.

    I very recently got my new iPhone 6. I got it on new years eve. I'm not sure what version of the OS it is on, but I'm going to assume it is on the latest, 8.1.2. Today has been the only day i have had an issue. Earlier in the day the phone froze and the Wifi was showing to only have one bar. They Phone then shut off and flashed a red screen for about a second. After that, I had no issues for a few hours. Later that night the phone crashed three times. 2 of them showed a blue screen before crashing. The third time the phone would not let me open any apps and then just shut down, and as of right now it has not turned back on. Is there a way to fix this or am I going to have to replace my phone?

    I was able to turn it on but when I turned on WiFI the apps would not open and the phone crashed again and turned off.

  • My iPod Touch 4g will not stop crashing since iOS5 update?

    Ever since I updated my iPod Touch 4g with iOS5,  most of my apps, and even Safari, The App Store and Youtube, crash often, and it's becoming very annoying.  Before the update none of those crashed.My iPod Touch 4g is barely a month old and it crashes probably more than a 2g iPod. I want this to be fixed ASAP but how??

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next, try restoring from backup
