Flashplayer tells me to close the internet, but it is closed. What do I do?

Most of the time I try to install flashplayer, it downloads up to 50% and asks me to close the Internet. When the internet is up, I close it and it still says the same thing. There are other times when I have nothing up and it still asks me to close the internet. I have opened the start task manager, which says only the flashplayer installer is open/a task.

Can you navigate yourself to Task Manager > Processes. Check if there are any processes like IE.exe, Chrome.exe, Firefox,exe. If so, end the processes. Sometimes even if an application/internet browser is closed, the proccesses are still not ended.

  • When I try to install the update, it tells me to close the Internet Explorer.  When I try to close i

    When I try to install Adobe Update, it tells me to close Internet Explorer.  When I try to close it, I can't get it to close.  Now what?

    I'd recommend going to your task manager and looking for the Internet explorer task (iexplorer.exe).  Once found, right click and end task.  You might have to do this for multiple entries, depending on how many instances of explorer are running.
    Thanks,

    Okay so my iphone says its connected to the internet but the internet only works for games so i cant use things like facebook twitter or youtube PLZ TELL ME HOW TO FIX THISf by the way it an iphone 4s and i have never encountered this problem before my dads iphone is the same after we updated to ios 8.1.1 but my mum hasnt updated yet and hers is fine

    If deleting then reinstalling the apps doesn't work, then contact the app developer for support.
    It sounds, though, like your internet connection is simply very slow.
    Try making a backup, then restoring the iPhone as new, and testing again.

  • Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them; I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first.

    Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them. I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first. When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?

  • I use Firefox to access the internet-but when I go off the internet but don't shut down, then go back on Firefox it won't open because "it is already running". Task Manager doesn't show that it is operating so I can't shut it off. What to do?

    It is in the question but to repeat.
    1. When I go online I use Mozilla Firefox
    2. While I am doing other work, I usually close the internet.
    3. If I go back on the internet and click on Mozilla it won't come up, stating that "it is already running".
    4. Despite that, when I open Task Manager, it doesn't show that it is running so I can't shut it down or open it.
    5. If I log off or shut off the computer, then after I log in or reboot the computer, I can open Mozilla.
    Thanks from a Mozilla fan.

    The iPad keeps giving me an error that it is unable to verify the update due to not being connected to the internet, but I am.  I have tried power cycling the iPad, disconnecting and reconnecting to the internet... None of which has any effect.  Any ideas?

    1. Close all the applications (double click home button and close the running applications.
    2. keep the home+power button pressed till the time device reboot automatically.
    ones rebooted go to settings-> general -> software update.
    it should check for the latest update 7.1 which you can download and install.

  • Imesege says i am not connected to the internet but i am please help

    I have an iPad 2 and everytime i try to sign in to imessege it will say "Please be sure you are connected to the internet" but i am! This is making me really mad because I want to talk to people please help! I feel like I've tried everything!

    The wifi symbol only shows the presence of wifi, not that you are connected. At the time you want to use iMessage, does email and Safari work.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
    http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
    Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

  • Trying to restore my iPhone and itunes says it's not connected to the internet, but my web browsers work fine

    I tried to restore my iPhone 3G and I get a message that I am not connected to the internet but, I can barouse on the internet with my search engins.

    It's hard to tell what password you are referring to.  But my guess is you are being asked for the password to the iPhone's backup you created in iTunes.  It sounds like you chose to encrypt the backup.
    If that is the case, the following applies:
    Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
    If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.
    The above comes from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946

  • HELP!!!i can download files from the internet but i can not open them,help!

    I am running mac os x 10.5 i can download files from the internet but adobe reader 9 keeps telling me they can not decode them,( Adobe Reader could not open 'dap93.exe' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged) (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). help!
    Message was edited by: kjsk8n

    Adobe Reader does not open .EXE files, it opens .PDF files.  If you were on Windows I would tell you to fix the file association, but I have no idea how to do that on a Mac.

  • What do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet

    what do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet. i have contacted apple support and they said to change from wep to wpa2 but when i change it to wpa2 and type in password and connect on my laptop it says the saved setting on this computer for the network do not match the require ments of the network

    My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
    You may need to go back and start over.  Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

    you may be connected to the wireless network but the question is the internet working properly on the wireless network...
    what i mean is that i can make a wireless network without the internet so i can save and share files and have other devices connected to the same network access them... but you have to make sure that your internet it running properly... may have to reconfigure the router is your using PPPOE or if it was working prior to your post then try to restart your modem... that usually resolves most issues.
