Have a mac. It says, "Adobe Flash Player is up to date on this system." Not working on sites.

My mac is up to date with Flash Player, but all the sites still say I need to update. I can't get it to work. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it. I've tried everything and spent hours looking at the adobe troubleshooting pages. I need help and don't have $40 to get help over the phone.

When the Flash plugins crashes, Firefox usually records information about what was happening at that moment. This might be fairly generic, but in some cases it might be helpful. Please check the last section of the support article "[[Firefox Crashes]]" for steps to find the report IDs for those crashes, and then post some of the recent ones here.
This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common issues with the Flash Player plugin. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:
(1) If you have any recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media make sure they are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them temporarily.
(2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
(3) Disable the protected mode feature. That feature has security benefits, but seems to have compatibility issues on some systems. This involves creating or editing a settings file. The following pages/posts provide different approaches for that:
* Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
* Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
* Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078
Flash needs to completely unload from memory (exiting and starting Firefox up again might help) before this takes effect.
Any improvement?

Hi, my MacBook says Adobe Flash Player is out of date???

Hi,
First, I got a message saying that Adobe Flash Player was out of date.
Then, when I went to the Adobe Flash website, it said "Adobe® Flash® Player requires Mac OS 10.6 or higher."
My computer is a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8.
Does this mean I have to buy a new computer to get Adobe Flash Player???
I find it strange, because my MacBook says Flash Player requires Mac OS 10.6 or higher, but my iPad, which is an iPad 2, by the way, says that Adobe Flash Player is not supported on my device.
What is going on?? How can I get Flash Player on both my MacBook, but also my iPad as well???
Does this mean I have to buy a new computer and a new tablet???
Is there any other way to get Flash Player or to view videos or video-like things??
Is there a way to manually install Flash Player??
What is the issue here???
Would anyone help me out on this??
Thanks,
Bonnie

Hi Niel,
1. What is the best DVD to buy?? Because I realize there are different versions, like Mac OS X 10.6 that you mentioned, but there seem to be other versions as well.
2. What is the most updated version that works for MY computer???
3. Is there a difference between the different version, or only that one is the newest, and one is less expensive??
Thanks,
Bonnie

After the latest firefox upgrade and the Adobe Flash Player upgrade, Silverlight, which runs Netflix Instant, is not working... any connection? Thanks!

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 Firefox/3.6.15 GTB7.1
That is my system info ~ my firewall is open and I have no anti-virus software installed.
On Netfilx, when I click Play on an Instant movie, a screen comes up that tells me there is an upgrade for Silverlight. Click the button, go thru what looks like a full install series of windows, go back to click Play, and the same screen comes up. It has happened for the last 48 hours or so, consistently. I opened Chrome and Safari, had the same result.
A Ustream site I follow, also using a Mac, has been getting kicked off that system all day, getting an error message that references Adobe Flash Player ~ he just upgraded, like I did, and wonders if there is a problem with it ~ got me thinking...
Thank You Firefox community!

From what I can tell, the problem is not Silverlight, it is the flash plugin (10.3). I uninstalled and went back to FLASH 10.1 and Netflix, flash videos, flash based applications, etc all worked again on my brand new computer. Very unfortunate and frustrating.

Adobe flash player has downloaded successfully, but it's still not working

hello all, I have a new week old laptop, that has windows 7, I'm trying to view videos online, like on youtube, but it keeps saying download flash player, so I download it, then it says it again when i try to watch the videos. I've downloaded it about 10 times now! with the same result, I followed the instructions on the help pages about changing my settings and it still doesn't work. Please help.

You write that you "downloaded" Flash Player, but did you also install it?

Really? Again? "The user does not have sufficient privileges to install Adobe Flash Player"

My browser is firefox.
"The user does not have sufficient privileges to install Adobe Flash Player" is the incessant problem I've had many times updating Flash.
Come on guys, this is getting beyond ridiculous. The install always stops at 55% exactly, and never completes, leaving me to abandon Firefox for Chrome. I mucked about the last half a dozen times this happened during the update and just by sheer accident it managed to install, but it's been 2 hours of similar mucking about and I'm now getting nowhere.
This has been a persistent problem and affected many firefox users for years now, as I've seen both by my own experience and by searching google. Isn't there a way you all can provide a single SIMPLIFIED solution to this issue, either by coordinating with firefox or by providing a Firefox "unique" installer? Really it's too infuriating.
Anyway, before anyone asks, yes I'm logged on as the admin, and yes I've run the installer "as the admin" by right clicking. I've also gone ahead and completely uninstalled flash (and emptied the folders as requested in other threads here) and reinstalled, only to watch the progress bar halt at 55% as per usual and leave me clicking that stupid Chrome icon to have a working flash program.
Honestly folks, why, after years, does this continue to be a persistent issue? Fix it for the love of God! Are you lot the guys doing the ObamaCare website or what? We firefox folks are loyal to our browser, and installing new versions of flash on this browser is an unnecessary bloody pain in the you know what.
Sorry for the visible frustration, but if someone could please provide a universal working solution I wouldn't need to be on here whinging and moaning.

I have had the same problem, but found that doing it this way, eradicated the issue for me-
I am no computer expert and have experimented over time until i found what has worked for myself.
I hope this helps others to resolve this problem.
                                            If you are unsure, then please get somebody that has an idea what they are doing to prevent any accidental deletion of system files!!!!!!!
This is a Microsoft windows 7 PC, not Apple Mac.
slightly lengthy, but has stopped me pulling hairs out and stopped swearing at the computer.
Allowed for me to open e learning that needed adobe to continue with learning.
Firstly:
Download the current uninstallerUninstaller for Windows
Close all browser windows and run the uninstaller
Restart Windows.
Delete all remaining files and folders located in the following directories. (these directories are probably hidden away from sight)
    (tip: copy and paste ONE of these paths into the path/search bar in an Explorer window)
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash (if you are using a 64-bit system)
which should then display a white page with a top line in bold letters saying something like:-
"Index of C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\" as shown below:
This INFORMATION is only needed for the location as to where these files are hidden so DO NOT !!!!! click on any of the folders within this browser, as they will download into the download folder and cause more problems.
THIS WILL SHOW WHERE THE FOLDERS ARE HIDING WITHIN THE COMPUTER ITSELF, BUT THEY ARE PROBABLY HIDDEN, UNTIL YOU UNHIDE THE FOLDER(S) THAT YOU NEED.
MINIMIZE THIS SCREEN TO ONE HALF OF THE SCREEN, AND HAVE THE FOLDER OF THE COMPUTER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SCREEN, SO THAT YOU CAN FOLLOW WITHOUT HAVING TO REMEMBER WHAT IS NEEDED TO BE DONE NEXT
Secondly:
Go onto DESKTOP
double click on computer
then double click on "C"
go to organize on top left corner under backwards arrow,
click on "folder and search options"
click on "view" tab,
look for heading "Hidden files and folders"
click on "show hidden files, folders, and drives"
click "Apply"
CLICK "OK"
Most folders will be a bright yellow folder, whereas the hidden folders that you have now made reappear will be a shaded yellow.
You should still have the operating system IDE (C) folder open.
Thirdly:
Look for:
Open folder "Windows"
Open Folder "System32"
Find Folder "Macromed"
Right Click on folder and look down for "Delete" left click which will then put the folder into the waste basket on the computer.
Empty the wastebin if it is on desktop by right clicking and choosing "Empty Recycle Bin"
close all explorer/Google pages.
then repeat the process as near top of page from Computer --> C Drive --> all the way to
Hidden files and folders
Forthly:
THEN !!!!!
click on "DON'T show hidden files, folders, or drives"
click "apply"
click "OK"
                                   THAT WILL HIDE THE SYSTEM FOLDERS
Fifthly:
CLOSE ANY FOLDER OR BROWSER ON THE COMPUTER SO THAT YOU ARE BACK TO THE DESKTOP.
FINALLY:
OPEN BROWSER
YOU SHOULD THEN BE ALLOWED TO INSTALL ADOBE WHEN OPENING A FRESH BROWSER

I have had the same problem with firefox on facebook. It has happened for the last couple weeks. I can receive gifts under requests and every game I try crashes. I can usually read my homepage. this is getting really bad. I have cleared caches,downloaded what I am told to download to update, and cleared history and cookies and still happens , and have been told to get rid of firefox. what is the problem? and when I sent reports , nothing. and sent emails to all the games and told them and asked for help and never get responses. should I through the computer out the window, or delete you? I know they keep changing things on the games and that usually crashes stuff on mine, but all the time? this sucks. and I probably won't get a response from you either,but if this continues I will have to say, bye bye.It's ridiculous..before the crashes, it would take me over 2 hours to do a game and work on it. there was life before this and will be afterwards. it also happens on my regular email..not the crashing, but so slow and the download goes up and goes way down to almost nothing and keeps doing that.please help us all..thanks.

I use Articulate to create my player.html files. When I double click my player.html file I get a message that says Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation. Then it shows me the name of a swf file in my files that is trying to communicate with the player.html. Then is say s to let this application communicate with the internet , click settings but that doesnt seem to help. I've tried clicking on all the tabs that are under the settings window that opens up but the problem persists

The user does not have sufficient privileges to install Adobe Flash Player

Hi, I'm having a very hard time installing the newest version of Adobe Flash player. When I run the installer I get the error message "The user does not have sufficient privileges to install Adobe Flash Player". This all started after Flash had given me several popups about a new update, but the update wouldn't install correctly. Eventually I uninstalled Adobe Flash and I've been unable to reinstall it at all since.
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, and I do have an administrator account. I'm trying to isntall the Flahs plugin for Firefox, but it also wont work in IE. So far I've tried running the instaler as an administrator, doing a clean install and running the installer from another user account (also an administrator). None of these things have worked, and I can't find any other suggestions.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Download the offline installers from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header and save them to disk, then right-click on each installer and select 'Run As Administrator'.

I cannot load an app for Adobe Flash Player on my iPad. It says "not supported" on this equipment. Is that right? If so, is there a recommended sub that will satisfy that requirement? Some programs specifically say "adobe flash player"

What App? From where?
You can only get Apps from the App Store. nowhere else. If you are trying to download form a website you cannot do it.
If you need Flash Support for websites, you can download a flash supporting browser from the App store.
Examples are:
Puffin
https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/puffin-web-browser/id406239138?mt=8
Photon
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photon-flash-player-for-ipad/id430200224?mt=8
There may be others in the store.

Have a mac. It says, "Adobe Flash Player is up to date on this system." Not working on sites.
