Got an update message for Flash Player

I tried to run the update, and keep getting a host error message that file is not available.  I uninstalled prior version, and it still doesn't work.  Never mind.  I just tried it again, and it is installing now. 

If you need more help, please provide your operating system & browser details.

  • Disable update notification for Flash Player 15.x and newer

    Dear all
    We run a Citrix Environment (on Windows 2008 R2) and we have our monthly update window. Users complain that they get update notifications for Flash Player when a new version is available but they cannot install the update since they have no permissions to install or update any software on our locked down Citrix environment.We tried already all availabe guides regarding "disable update notification for Flash Player" but no guide seems to work with the latest Version 15.x.  
    Which registry key's oder files do we have to modify with what values to finally disable update notifications for Flash Player.
    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Please check out the System Administrator's Guide for a list of possible approaches:

  • I got an update message for iOS 7 but can't download as it keeps shutting down and the wheel goes so slow that you can hardly see it moving and says it will take 5-6 hours to download approx. 64 megabytes

    Which way are you trying to update - iTunes or WiFi in the iPad settings? Try switching from one method to the other method. If you don't have a computer and need to use WiFi, try closing all apps and then reboot your iPad and try again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of all of the apps in the recents tray. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar when you are done.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    It wouldn't hurt to reboot your router either by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds, plug it back in, let it fully start up and then try to update again.

  • How to really, really disable auto-update popups from flash player?

    I have here a serious problem under 64bit Win7.
    More and more frequently a popup appears prompting me (or even start download without prompt!!)if a new flash player should be installed.
    When I proceed it shows the progress bar and downloads the package and installation started until the "done" button is shown.
    Then I re-open Internet Explorer 9 again and re-vist the last webpage and ....the download starts again.
    This is really annoying.
    How do I really, really stop forever update prompts for flash player plugins for Firefox and Internet Explorer?

    Hi pxstein,
    Thanks for posting the screenshots, especially the one of the Process Explorer.  It indicates that this is not an auto-update install situation.  This type of installation is triggered via content on the page that requires a newer version of Flash Player (your screenshot indicates you have 11.8.800.94) and the content provider has decided to use this type of installation (we support several types that content providers can implement).  Since this type of installation is controlled by the content, there isn't a way to disable it.  Normally, IE displays a User Account Control dialog window or a dialog bar at the bottom of the page asking if you want to save/run the file.  I don't see these in your screenshots and you don't mention if they displayed or not.  If not, you may have disabled this warning at some point in time.
    Flash Player 11.8 is very old and very vulnerable to security issues and we've released many security updates since then.  My recommendation is to update Flash Player to the latest version, 15.0.0.167 for Internet Explorer (15.0.0.152 for non-IE browsers on Windows).  If you don't want the latest features available in Flash Player 15, you can install what we refer to as the Extended Support Release (ESR) version.  This is a previous stable version that we only release security updates for.  Currently this is 13.0.0.244 for both Internet Explorer and non-IE browsers on Windows.
    To download the latest version, go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using Internet Explorer
    To download the ESR version, go to Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe.  The links to download the FP 13 ESR version are at the bottom of the page.

  • Security update for flash player....did it install?

    Yesterday on dec 16, I had a window pop up on my comp telling me that there is some security update for flash player so I clicked install and it was connecting and everything...then I allowed Adobe systems incorportated permission and all that stuff which was normal....then the adobe helper stopped working and I got a message saying that it will have to close the program......now I don't know...did the updates install or not...what were the security updates so I can check...any advice?

    Hi, well DLM is Download Manager and sometimes it is used to D/L FP. It is supposed to disconnect after FP is downloaded. Go to Add/Remove, you should see Flash Player 10 ActiveX listed. If the Adobe Download Manager or DLM is listed Remove it from there and reboot. It is not supposed to be there after it serves it purpose.
    The version is 10.0.42.34, I hope you just made a typo:-)
    Also, if you are using IE, go to Tools>Manage add ons and look to see if you have listed Shockwave Flash Object......
    ActiveX......Flash10d.ocx and that it is Enabled.  Be sure to check in "currently loaded" and "have been used".
    In Firefox you would look in extenstions, add ons or plug-ins, look for SWF.
    In order for FP to operate properly, you need the ActiveX in IE and the SWF plug-in in FF.
    Thanks 

  • I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

    "If you've forgotten the Apple ID password how did you log in to make the last post?"
    Exactly! The password I used to log on here and write my post I figured was the same Apple ID password I would use to reset my computer login password. But my computer isn't recognizing it as the correct password so it wont let me update my login password. I have 2 user accounts on my computer.
    As far as the link you provided, I already looked to that for help earlier. It states:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Users & Groups, click the lock to unlock it, then provide an administrator name and password. Select a user, then click Reset Password.
    I did these steps, but I don't remember my admin password. The question is: How do I reset my admin password so I can reset my log in password.
    Is my admin password the same password I use to log onto this website to post questions? If so, like I said previously, I already reset that password and my computer isnt recognizing it.

  • Why being asked for Flash Player update in Acrobat 9.5.2?

    In trying to view a PDF created in Captivate (for Flash Player 9) viewer is being old cannot see the PDF without updating Flash Player (running Windows XP). The problem is not there using Acrobat Reader 9.2. I thought Flash Player was incorporated into Acrobat Reader?
    Wondering if anyone can clarify.
    Thanks very much,

    It used to be, but in the updates for the Acrobat 9 Family (and in the Acrobat XI Family) it has been removed. See here for an explanation.

    Hi. I am not able to update the Adobe Flash Player on my MackBook Pro. The problem I am getting is a blank page for Step3. Can someone help please?

    If you already have an older version of Flash Player, open the Preference pane and select Check Now... under the Update portion under the General tab:
    You shouldn't have to install a new version from the website (I'm not even sure if you can) if you've already installed Flash Player.

    Our users are currently on XP and are using Adobe Flash Player 10.3.183.18.
    Does Adobe still release updates for version 10 or do we have to go to 11 to be up to date security-wise?

    The latest update for Flash Player 10.x is 10.3.183.20; you can obtain the installers from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

  • I'm getting a message to install an update to Adobe Flash player.

    I've heard that a virus can infect Macs using a phony update to Adobe Flash Player.  Right now I am getting a warning to install an update to Adobe Flash player, but my Software Update check indicates no current updates for Safari.  Yet my Safari is telling me that I need to update and it's blocking any Flash clips from use.  Can this be on the level?

    For both posters, this is the central Adobe link to the latest Flash Player installer:
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Download and run the installer. Will need to quit all browsers while doing so. No need to "uninstall", the installer will get rid of the old code automatically. As of this writing (25 Aug 2012, 1200 CDT), the current Flash version for Intel Macs is 11.4.402.265
    Afterwards, you can test your functioning Flash installation by visiting:
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    If the cube bounces about, Flash is OK. And lastly, you can configure a bunch of Flash Player settings here:

  • Scam update for Flash Player

    I tried to update my existing Flash Player when a prompt turned up on my computer, only to find out when it was too late that it was a Scam.
    It uninstalled my exixting Flash Player and now will not allow me to reinstall Flash Player at all.  I have been trying for about three weeks now with no luck.
    This happened once before and Flash Player came back of its own accord, but not this time.
    Please can anyone help me?

    Hi,
    i'm a new member of this community. I've recently learn about flashback malware and other threats to Mac devices. I've installed the new Mac OS X update for Lion 10.7, and the flashback removal tool. What about the update for Flash Player? Should i install it? Otherwise, should i permanently remove this app?
    I realy need some advice.
    Thank's to all.

    Be sure to install the latest version of Safari (version 5.1.7) which is available via Software Update (in the Apple menu) if you have not already installed it. This update will automatically disable older versions of Flash when new versions are available, and will instruct you on how to install the latest version on your system. This should help keep your system safe from any vulnerabilities in Flash.
    Note that this is only useful if you use Safari, though other browsers have their own update mechanisms you should research and enable or configure to your liking.

  • Where can I find the program updates for each updated version of Flash Player?

    Where can I find info on different updated versions of Flash Player?
         This info includes:
              Changes/updates/improvements to the program
              Version number
    Also, how do I view my own program's version number?  I'm sure it's straightforward but I haven't tried looking.

  • "the activex control for flash player could not be registered" - Solutions Roundup

    I recently ran into this problem on my computer:
    http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems2.jpg
    I am a Flash developer (as in I write SWFs, I don't work for Adobe).  and when I updated IE to 10.2, "the activex control for flash player could not be registered".  Since I am a developer, I also have Firefox and Chrome installed, with Flash running without problems.  For a long time now, Internet Explorer has used a different version (ActiveX) to the other browsers, which use plugins.  I am a strong supporter of Flash, it's great to develop with and has a very wide feature set which is growing all the time, unlike fixed technologies/standards.  However, the weakest part is the install process - I don't understand why their is a Download Manager.  Google Chrome does it's best (so far) by managing the install/update process entirely in the background.  Anyway, it was in my best interest to try and get to the bottom of this.
    For the record, on the problem machine I have Windows 7 with IE8, but I have seen almost  identical symptoms with IE9, Windows XP SP3, as well as various  iterations of Flash Player (10.0, 10.1, 10.2 and even some final  editions of version 9).
    First I tried the standard support here:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
    Basically, doing the manual uninstall and manual install of the latest version (without using the download manager, or have IE open).  This did not work.  I also tried the Microsoft "subinacl" program, together with "reset_fp10.bat".  This didn't work either.  However, you should try all of these things first before progressing further.
    A quick note about people who had tried running the following at a command prompt: "secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose"
    I didn't do this, because on investigating further it didn't seem to work with Windows 7, only Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 - though there was a few threads where this had fixed the problem for some users.
    For my solution, it is recommended you use the manual uninstall / installers, so you should have them downloaded ready to use.
    I then heard about problems with permissions in the registry with the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
    So I opened regedit.exe (start - run - typed "regedit.exe"), navigated to the key and sure enough, I couldn't open it - permission denied - even though I had an administrator account.  If for some reason, you can access this key (and any subkeys), then it's likely the following fix will not resolve the problem.
    I then done further diagnosis, by using Process Monitor to try and install Flash Player, and I got the following:
    http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems.gif
    This shows all the access denied errors the Flash Player install was experiencing when trying to write to the registry key.  This confirmed that this was the problem.  I only stress this because several people said it was unwise to tinker with the registry.  Though this is common advice, this is the only known fix for this precise problem at present, since you need to manually adjust the permissions yourself.  I don't know who is at fault here - Microsoft or Adobe - but let's just get Flash fixed...
    The solution:
    Firstly, you may want to backup your registry, or the exact key.  I didn't do this so I've provided no instructions on how to, but it is recommended for the paranoid.  Also make sure as much software is closed down as possible - browsers, IM software, any junk in your system tray. As way of example, I happened to have "BBC iPlayer" installed and running in the background which uses Adobe AIR and Flash Player, so I exited that too.
    1) Open regedit (start - run - type "regedit.exe").  You may need to right click on it and select "Run As Administrator", but I didn't as my account was already administrator.
    2) Navigate to the key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
    Click on it to confirm that you cannot access it (you will get an error) - if their are no problems - this probably isn't the cause of your issues.
    3) Right click on it and click Permissions, and ignore any message that may pop up.
    4) Under "Group or Usernames" click "Add".  Type your account name name, or "Administrators" in the box, then "Check Names" to format it correctly, then Ok.
    5) Now on the next screen click the checkbox to enable Full Control (this will also automatically enable "Read" permission too).
    6) Click Advanced, then the "Owner" tab at the top.  You will see that their is no "Current Owner".  This is what we will now fix.
    7) Click on your name to change the owner to (I went for Administrators).  Also enable the checkbox entitled "Replace Owner on subcontainers and objects".  Then click Ok.  You will get an error message, which you can try clicking Retry to, but hit Cancel - this is not a problem.
    8) Click Ok a couple of times and this part of your registry is now fixed.
    9) Now it's a simple case of running the manual Flash uninstall program, then finally the manual Flash installer (for Active X - not the Firefox/Chrome plugin versions).  To my surprise, after a couple of days looking into this - I finally had a solution and Flash in IE once more.  If you are using Firefox too you may find Flash is no longer installed their (the uninstaller removed it).  In this case just install via the Adobe site or try to watch a video on You Tube and you will be prompted or linked to the install.
    Hope this provides a good round up of the possible solutions to this problem.  Hopefully Microsoft or Adobe can find out what causes this issue in the first place so we don't have to go down this route for much longer.  Chrome's implementation of Flash shows how effortlessly things can work!

    They will stay on the screen.  However, Process Monitor is only intended for advanced users.  It is recommended that users try to navigate to the troublesome registry key using regedit, and see if they can access it or not without an error.  This is far easier than trying to use Process Monitor, which is very complicated.
    I used Process Monitor to confirm that it was just that key which was causing the problem, and not others.  Process Monitor is not to be confused with the new Resource Monitor which is accessible via Task Manager in Windows 7 (and possibly Vista).  If you must experiment (and Process Monitor is very useful for diagnosing many deep-level problems if you know what you're looking for) Process Monitor can be downloaded from here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
    It replaces the older Sysinternals "FileMon" and "RegMon".  For those interested in the technical side, I had to setup a number of filters to be able to get the results display as in the screenshot.  First of all to just show Registry events.  Then to just show events from the manual Flash activeX installer executable.  The I added a filter to show only non-successfull results.  And finally, for the purposes of the screenshot, added a filter to just show those with "Access Denied", since other non-critical errors are also picked up due to missing keys because installation has not yet been fully completed I guess.   When experimenting, most of these filters were applied using the "is not" boolean logic, which will make sense if you experiment with the program.
    Without adding any filters, it picks up so many events (hundreds per second) that it's otherwise unusable.  e.g. 40,000 events within the first few seconds of opening the program. For this reason, I recommend simply using Regedit to diagnose the problem with the particular Flash registry key.
