Flashplayer installed and active but won't run

Hi. I seem to be having the same problem as several others on here: I've got the latest version of Flash  installed and active on my Win8.1 system, and it shows as an active add-on in the latest version of Firefox, but it stalls on loading and won't run. This started immediately after the latest Flash update was released: I've tried uninstalling and re-installing.
Thanks.

You're more than welcome to file performance bugs at http://bugbase.adobe.com/.  I noticed that the page on adobe.com took a really long time to load for me as well on Chrome, but Adobe.com is super complex, and I think that has something to do with a poorly performing back-end service.  Since you're seeing the slow script dialog not loading on the watch page, it's pretty clear that Flash Player is installed and playing content under normal circumstances.  The interesting part is that one of those dialogs is talking about JavaScript running on the page, and the other is talking about Flash.  It's unclear without debugging the issue whether it's the browser or the plugin; however, as you've noticed, both work fine in Internet Explorer.
It's important to point out that both Adobe and Microsoft made a tremendous effort in tuning the  Internet Explorer experience for Windows 8 and higher.  The latest versions of IE offer a fast, modern plug-in architecture that efficiently offers defense-in-depth protection against the modern generation of security threats (as opposed to the sandboxing approach that we retrofit to Firefox).  Similarly, Google Chrome provides a modern, secure plug-in architecture and invests heavily in making the Flash experience in the browser great.  I'm a Firefox fan as well, but the reality is that you might be more satisfied with your experience when using a different browser.
For the crash, I'd be happy to take a look at the crash analysis to see if I can find anything useful.
In Firefox, if you type about:crashes in the address bar, you should get a list of recent crashes.

    Itunes update failed to install and now Itunes  won't run

    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.

    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.

  • I installed Lion OS X and Logic Pro won't run. I downloaded the 9.1.5 update: "An Eligible Logic Pro Version Was Not Found in the Applications Folder.  This Update require Logic Pro Version 9.0 or higher".  I have Logic Pro Version 9.1.1 installed.

    I installed Lion OS X and Logic Pro won't run. I downloaded the 9.1.5 update: "An Eligible Logic Pro Version Was Not Found in the Applications Folder.  This Update require Logic Pro Version 9.0 or higher".  I have Logic Pro Version 9.1.1 installed.
    I even pulled the dmg file into the Logic Studio folder in my applications directory and it still does not recognize it.  What do I do now?

    Niel:  Thanks. 
    For others benefit, here is what happened.
    I had installed Logic Studio 9.1 some time ago.......not knowing what all the programs were nor what they did, I created a "Logic Studio" subfolder in my applications folder and put all Logic Studio programs into it so I'd know where they were and could review each at my leisure over time.
    My assumption now is that when the updater looks for the Logic Pro program, it looks only in the applications folder.  It seems lame that it would not also look in the subfolders of the applications folder, but that apparently IS the way it works.  Because my Logic Pro program was located in the "Logic Studio" subfolder, the updater just didn't see it..hence the error message I received when I tried to update. 
    Solution:  I moved all the Logic Studio programs out of the subfolder and now they reside in the applications folder. Ran the 9.1.5 updater and it worked like a charm.

    Can anyone advise me on what I need to do?
    My existing account is linked to ireland as my bank account details are there, does this make a difference?
    Please help!

    Until you get a UK bank account and credit card, buy and redeem UK iTunes gift cards for use in the iTunes and Mac App Stores. But you need to switch your region/country to the UK store in your account information, as you can't use UK iTunes gift cards in the Irish stores, the gift cards are country specific.

    I am having problems launching the standalone version of Lightroom 6 after I have gone through the install and activation process? Lightroom starts to open but "hangs" before any photos in the catalgue are displayed. I have contacted the chat support twice but they have not been able to fix the problem.

    I went through the activation process yesterday and shut down my PC when I went to bed last evening. When I got up this morning and turned my PC on and then started Lightrom 6 (I upgraded from version 5) it started to launch but then just hung and became "not responsive". I I then uninstalled and then reinstalled the product today but the same thing happened. What is weird is that when I install from the standalone file I downloaded when I purchased the upgrade it looks like it's downloading the software again over the Internet? I have been having these problems for the last four or five days. I have contacted the chat support folks twice and they were able to get it working but whatever they did did not last as the problem reappeared again once the PC was shut down and then started up again.

  • Installing and activating Creative Suite 6 Design Standard on two computers?

    Hello!
    I purchased Creative Suite 6: Design Standard as a physical copy (with a CD) about a couple of years ago. I've installed it on my iMac, but now that I purchased a Mac Book Pro, I'd also like to install the package on the laptop. My new Mac Book Pro 13" with Retina display does not have a CD/DVD drive.
    First of all, is it possible to have an Adobe package installed and activated on two computers simultaneously?
    I tried to download the Creative Suite 6 from the Downloads on Adobe website and activate it on my laptop with the serial number that I received when I purchased the product, but the serial number did NOT work. It says "The serial number you entered is invalid." Does this problem occur because the serial number is in use on the Creative Suite, which is installed and activated on my iMac?
    Is there another way to download + install + activate the package on my laptop? Obviously without a CD/DVD drive I cannot use the physical installation CD that I purchased.
    Thanks for help in advance, I really appreciate it!
    – Miina

    Hello!
    Thanks for the reply. I've been looking into this problem more but haven't been successful in solving it. Getting a bit frustrated with this!
    The serial number seems to be the issue.. I don't know why it won't go through. Do I need a different serial number to activate a Creative Suite 6 Design Standard downloaded from the Adobe website? I used the same serial number that can be found on the back of the product box that I purchased a couple of years ago. So far I have installed and activated my product only with my iMac, and now attempting to activate it with my Mac Book Pro, so the problem is not that it's been activated too many times.
    When I finally do manage to activate this software also on my laptop, do I have to deactivate and activate it every time I wish to switch from one computer to the other? Is there a limit to how many times it can be activated/deactivated?
    Thanks again for your help!
    P.s. I also consulted this person https://forums.adobe.com/people/Nikhil%20Bisne (not sure if he is around, though) on my issue, because he was able to help somebody with a similar issue here: Re: Invalid Serial Number . The difference being that this person was activating their software for the first time, I'm trying to activate it a second time on a different machine (while still keeping the software activated on the first machine).

    Trying to run my older Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on Windows 7. Have original disc and S/N. Won't run...

    I was able to install the program on my computer. (Only glitch was that it asked for a .dll file for Vista which I'm not running.
    I was able to activate the program ok.  When I try to convert any MS Office document to .pdf, it appears to start the process but just doesn't actually produce a .pdf file.  No error message or anything...

  • HT4557 I have iPad 2 and trying to connect to apple tv. Have gone into videos and music and put in my apple id and password but won't work. Pick up my PC fine though

    Any ideas? Have tried usual switching on and off again but no change

    Here’s what you need to do to turn on AirPlay Mirroring on your iPad 2:
    – Have iOS 5 installed on your iPad 2
    – Make sure your Apple TV software is up-to-date. You can check for updates on the Apple TV by going to Settings > General > Update Software.
    – Have your TV turned with Apple TV active and showing.
    – Double-tap the home button on the iPad to bring up the Multitasking Bar.
    – Swipe to move to the left of the Multitasking Bar, so you can see the set of controls just to the left of the volume adjustment slider.
    – The button just to the right of the Fast Forward button – the one that has a rectangle with a solid, upward-facing arrow in it – is the AirPlay button. Tap to switch from iPad to Apple TV.
    – Once you do that you’ll see the Mirroring section appear just below the entry for Apple TV. Just tap to turn that On, and the iPad 2 will immediately begin mirroring to your TV screen.

  • I've installed and activated icloud on my Windows PC.

    I've installed and activated icloud on my Windows PC. I want to use icloud drive. The instructions said to signin to icloud and choose pages, numbers, or keynote and then when asked to upgrade to icloud drive to do so. I selected numbers and created a spreadsheet, thinking I would be asked somewhere along the way to upgrade. I was never invited to upgrade, so I closed icloud, reopened it. I tried to signin and it said the id was valid but it isn't an icloud account.
    I have no apple device. The instructions said that I could still signup for icloud but that I would only be able to use "web-based" services. I must be missing something.

  • Why i insert a CD to install a camera, but the auto run doesnt start???

    Why i insert a CD to install a camera, but the auto run doesnt start???

    Mac software typically does not run installers on inserting the optical media (CD or DVD.) You have to go inside it and find for the installer application - if you can't find it look through the documentation that came with the camera.
    Best of luck.

    Sounds like this:
    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
