Has Adobe and Apple had any meaningful discussions on Flash Player not working on iPhone and iPad?

Several applications I try to use on my iPhone and iPad says, "Apple restricts use of technologies required by products like Adobe Flash Player. Until Apple eliminates their restrictions, Adobe cannot provide Flas Player for the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. It would be nice if Adobe and Apple would solve their issues so we can use Adobe Flash Player.

Yeah, it's probably not a driver thing.  If you haven't rebooted already, definitely do that.  It might just be that the graphics hardware is in a bad state.
The last thing we shipped was December 9th, so it's not like Flash Player changed.  If these symptoms just started recently, it seems unlikely that a recent change to Flash is the root-cause.  It's possible that Chrome might have pushed a change since then, but I talked to the Chrome guys yesterday and they didn't mention anything about a widespread video playback problem.  They have really excellent telemetry, so they usually know pretty quickly when things break. 
It might be that your Chrome install is somehow damaged, and you could do a complete uninstall/reinstall of Chrome to see if the issue goes away.  You can also disable hardware acceleration in Chrome itself (it's under Preferences > Advanced > System > Use hardware acceleration if available) to see if that helps.
Is the issue isolated to a specific video or video site/sites?  Does it happen in either Internet Explorer or Firefox (they're both significantly different copies of Flash Player, which would be an interesting data point)?

    flash player not working.  can't watch video and can't upload pics to facebook

    thanks for helping.  I have windows 7, internet explorer.  recently had to replace my hard drive, and compete reinstall of all software so still a few bugs on settings, ect.  not seeing any error messages.  video and uploading pics seemed to be fine until the last week.  not sure what could have changed .  I can still look at PDF ect, I'm not positive its the Adobe that is messed up, but the 2 things I'm having problems with, clicking on and watching video on espn.com and not uploading pics to Facebook, both just does nothing when I try them.  no errors, just black screen where its suppose to play or upload.  the trouble shooting for both sites say make sure to have the latest version of flash player, so thats why I assume something is wrong with Adobe.  when I do the self scan from this site it says I have the latest version.  my settings say the player is enabled

  • Latest version of Adobe Flash Player not working in Firefox13

    I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox (13.0) and then installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.257. Now when I try view on-line video clips the area on the page where the video player would normally display is a "blank" white space.

    I love Firefox and I've honestly never used any browser for my Internet surfing needs. However, this bug has been a major problem for me and I've temporarily resorted to using a different browser until it's resolved. Hopefully that's soon before I get too attached to my new alternative.

  • Help-Why is the new version of Adobe Flash Player not working?

    I recently restored my PC to a date of about a 2 months earlier and when Adobe updated to the new version it  stopped working. when I try to play any games or look at any videos that require Flash Player it says needs to update your version of Flash. I have updated it twice and then uninstalled and downloaded it again and restarted my PC. Still no luck. I am a dummy when it comes to computers so if you have any suggestions please explain them in dummy terms!  I appreciate any help!!!!

  • Flash player not working on safari; any reasons why?

    I just recently noticed that my safari flash player isn't working. As i was trying to watch some youtube videos, it keeps saying "Blocked-Plug in" when i continued to click on it, it then asks me to get the lastest flash player which i did. Even after downloading, redownloading and repeating the process, it still won't allow me to watch any videos. I've found some comments in here from the previous year with people who had experience the same things but their techniques aren't working either. Im just getting really frustrated and need some help. Fast

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
    1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    3. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    4. In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

  • Adobe Flash Player not working in Internet Explorer 9

    I installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (version 11.7.700.169) and Adobe Flash Player stopped working in Internet Explorer 9. ActiveX filtering is disabled and the Adobe Flash Player add-on is enabled in IE 9. When I try to load the Web page for www.youtube.com, I get a blank screen. Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox work fine - both can display the YouTube Web page. Is there a fix for this?

  • Firefox and Adobe Flash player not working

    I guess the people at Mozzila and or Adobe haven't updated which ever APP is not working properly with ICS. I had read previously that this was a problem. I downloaded Flash ver 11 right after the ICS upgrade and it does not work in Firefox but does in Dolphin.

    There are reports that FLASH is being abandoned ... the latest version seems to work though for now in specific browsers (after re-installing FLASH 11 ) ...  HTML5 is what everyone is moving to.

  • Adobe Flash Player not working--Shockwave Flash Object not installing

    Ok...let's try this again.  Somehow my previous discussion that I had been working on with eidnolb got marked as "Answered" when it wasn't.  If you are reading this and are also having problems with Adobe Flash Player, please START YOUR OWN THREAD!  That allows someone to help you individually and will hopefully prevent MY question from being accidentally marked as "Answered" when it's not.  THANK YOU!
    Now to start the whole process over....
    1.  When I download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, my computer says it's succesful.  I'm able to verify through Add/Remove Programs that it IS on the computer.  However, when I'm on a site that requires AFP--like Hulu or YouTube--I get a message that says I need to download the latest version.
    2.  When I was working with eidnolb before, we found that for some reason the Shockwave Flash Object wasn't on my computer, even though I uninstalled and installed AFP several times and also restarted my computer.
    3.  I use Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 3 and Internet Explorer 8.  My computer also has AVG 9.0.830 for anti-virus protection and Spyware Blaster.  The only firewall I use is the standard Microsoft firewall that came already installed.
    4.  I am the administrator on my computer.  I have also made sure the following are disabled when I download AFP:  anti-virus program, anti-spyware program, firewall, all add-ons in Explorer, and any messenger programs.
    Thank you to whomever is available and willing to help me.  I truly appreciate it! 

    I had this problem too. I'm not an expert with this at all, but Adobe Support at:
                                                                                                           http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
                                                                                               and      http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html
    said that if you try to use Flashplayer with Internet Explorer 8 (64 bit) it won't work and you'll just keep getting the message to "Install Flashplayer" over and over even if you can see in your files that you already have it installed. They told me to use the 32  bit version of IE  8, or another browser such as Mozilla Foxfire or Google Chrome (both of which are 32 bit).  Now I can watch Hulu with any of these three browsers. I didn't have to turn of AVG at all; but I have AVG  2011 Free Version 10.0.1170 downloaded from  http://www.download.com .  Also,  according to the first website shown above,  you don't have the latest version of Flashplayer,  which is recommended by Adobe.

  • Adobe flash player not working for youtube

    Hi,
    While I was trying to install Adobe Flash Player for Microsoft Internet Explorer, the installation process got stuck half way and I tried to terminate the installation. But I had difficulty even terminating the installation process and IE and my computer crashed together. Normally I use Firefox to surf the internet, however after the computer crashed and when I restarted my computer, Youtube videos just couldn't be played in Firefox. What I have since done was to upgrade Firefox to 3.6.18 and I have uninstalled + reinstalled Adobe Flash Player. However that still doesn't solve the problem. The Youtube webpage only shows a black box with no control boxes. However other websites e.g. Metacafe, which uses Adobe Flash Player to play video files are working perfectly fine. This is highly puzzling to me and very frustrating. Could anyone please help me with it? .
    How do I mark this thread as a question?
    Now, I was reading other threads and came across 1 suggestion to change the http:// to https:// and now the youtube videos can be played. How amazing :O. But that would mean that everytime I have to manually change the URL to access the video. This is so strange. Any suggestion what has happened? Thanks.

    Hi, Since youtube/Google have not responded to the issue, no one knows for sure what their problem is. This is what I found and posted here last night. Then what I found and posted this morning, which you evidently found about the https.
    It appears either one or both are being used to try solving the issue. It's been users coming up with these, not youtube nor Google. It effects all browsers, even Chrome. The only one I haven't seen so far is Safari. Flash Player version doesn't matter, nor Operating Systems.
    From last night:
    YouTube just updated their video player, so the old version could still be cached in your browser causing it to fail. I would suggest rebooting, and if that's already done then make sure your drivers are up to date.
    If that does not work make sure you download the new version of flash.  Posted3 hours ago
    No, I had the exact same problem but it worked the second I cleared my internet cache which could have to do with what another user above said about that.
    Go to tools, options, clear recent history, and only check the 'cache' option, clear now, okay, and then refresh or exit it and open it again. I didn't even have to restart my browser. I'm using firefox too, by the way. Good luck! I hope this helped!  Posted 2 hours ago
    From today 7/7/11:
    Now youtube is having major issues as you could read from what I posted. There is nothing wrong with your computer nor Flash Player. Here is what many users are doing in addition to clearing the cache, history etc.
    They are using https instead of http. So try it. Here is one that you can check to see if it works. If so, use the https until youtube/google respond.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1RiMHpUi1w
    Until we hear from youtube or our own Flash Player Team, since I'm sure they are in touch with youtube, I don't know what else to do.
    My guess is, that if youtube changed their video player for the videos, then that would be a factor. Right now it is a wait and see.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Flash Player not working with IE 11 Active X

    After successful installation of Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X, there is no shortcut to it but the program is found in the Control Panel (under uninstall).
    Tried re-installation and all help on internet forum and Youtube, the videos at yahoo.com.sg still prompts to download latest flash player. Why?

    This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.
