Help! I can't get flash to work.

All I am trying to do is go to abc.com to watch an episode of
a show but it keeps telling me that I need a macromedia flash
player downloaded. I have downloaded, uninstalled, re-downloaded,
re-uninstalled, etc. for the past 2.5 hours and have accomplished
nothing! I don't know what happened last week I was able to view
the videos on the site with NO problems.
HELP! I've tried going into Internet Options and adjusting
things there and I am just out of ideas.......
Anyone know what to do to fix this?

same damn problem I was probably having...When using IE and
deleting temporary internet files it disables/corrupts/removes
proper function of the adobe flash player....You can reinstall all
night long and it will claim a "successful" installation but, it is
not....YOU MUST FIRST UNINSTALL ADOBE FLASH PLAYER USING THE ONLY
TOOL THAT WILL DO THIS WHICH IS THE FLASH PLAYER UNINSTALLER FROM
THE ADOBE WEBSITE....BE SURE AND SAVE IT TO YOUR DESKTOP BECAUSE
YOU WILL BE USING IT FOREVER.....Once you have used the uninstaller
program you can then successfully and truthfully download the
latest adobe flash player..............
Adobe
Uninstaller at bottom of page
Further description of the problem: When you clean out your
temporary files and/or temporary objects some critical part of the
Flash9 goes with it and your flash will NOT operate...you can try
and reinstall it all night long...your dead...nothing....you must
FIRST GO TO THE ADOBE UNINSTALLER (hyperlink shown above) and run
that program to uninstall COMPLETELY the flash9....Having done
that, you can now install the flash and this time it will
take......
another answer in addition to the one described above is to
upgrade your IE to IE7. This seems to eliminate the problem
concerning the functionality of the Flash9 and PC
maintenance….keep your fingers crossed.
Let me know the results………..

Can't get Flash to work in my IE 9

I Can't get Flash to work in my IE 9. I have gone through the other fixes from this site, but still can't get it to work. Any suggestions?

Have you tried the suggestions outlined in these two faqs? If so, was the shockwave component found and enabled?

Help, I can not get Flash Plyer to install.

I have been working on this for 7 hours and can not get Flash Player to work.
I have IE 9.0.8112.16421, Windows Vista, Disabled McAfee Virus and Firewall and run as administrator.
Uninstalled Flash Player ( it did show up on my installed programs but when I checked with Adobe FP checker it did not show as installed.) I keep getting a notice that says I need to install the latest Flash Player. Tried to update IE to IE 9.0 enhanced but I get the notice to install FP.
I Shut down and reboot with all programs closed everywhere including tool bar.
Started FP installer from desktop as administrator and went through Download manager and then install FP 10. I get message that says the installation is complete. I Quit and reboot. But FP is not working.
Checked internet tools -- security on Medium and internet on Medium.
Is there a problem with Flash Player 10 and IE 9.0?
Can anyone help?

That doesn't make sense; if you have saved the installer to your desktop, then then the DLM does not come into play.
A few questions:
what is your Windows version, and is it 32-bit or 64-bit?
what files do you have in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash (32-bit) or C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash (64-bit)?
on IE, Tools, Add-ons, do you have Shockwave Flash Object, and is it enabled?
can you see the Flash animation (rotating red 'F') at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ ?

[SOLVED] can't get flash to work

First i tried copying the flashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins dir, but it didnt exists yet, so i did a searh and i found. This http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … bit_System tried installing nspluginwrapper but it didnt work after restarting firefox. Tried manually installing the flashplater.so files again, since there was a dir there. Tried pacman -S flashplugin after i found that to be the most up to date way. None of this has worked, any ideas? I installed the 10.0.42.34 version. I never restarted anything other than firefox either. Thanx for any help.

Yes, sorry about the editing, i just spent 10 minutes looking for the edit buttons and then the submit buttons, my new style made them invisible:P . I had a thought though. Before i installed gnome i had installed firefox, could i have installed a second copy while installing gnome or done something else to cause me difficulty? I like firefox but i guess i'll try getting flash to work in some other browsers and see how that goes. Also, firefox isnt detecting any plugins in its add-ons section, perhaps thats a clue?

Can't get flash to work as 'installer' opens a script file.

I've downloaded the latest version of flash from the website but when i open the file there is a load of script and the installer doesn't start. Can anyone help me with this?

Also youtube works, not sure if that uses flash or not but everything else i need deosn't work. Example from Facebook:

Help! Can't get network to work

I have Solaris 10 installed and running smoothly.. except I can NOT get my NIC card working. I swear it's harder to configure networking on Solaris than anything i've ever delt with. I have a 3COM 3C450 PCI NIC card, how do I know if Solaris has the drivers for this card installed, how do I install them, and how do I configure my IP address? I'm definetly not a Unix newbe, I've worked with Irix and AIX for many years, but this is extremely frustrating.
Thanks

Hello
First step:
Check if the driver is running correctly. Type in "/usr/sbin/prtconf" or "/usr/sbin/prtconf -v".
This command prints information about all devices in the system and if the device is recognized by a driver or not (a message "Driver not attached" is shown if not). The "-v" variant shows more detailed information (you will get a huge number of lines).
Second step:
Find out the name of the network card (example: /dev/hme0). Unlike Linux the ethernet cards do not all have the name /dev/eth* but different types of cards have different names (/dev/le*, /dev/ce*, /dev/hme*, ...).
Third step:
Test the card once:
Type
ifconfig name plumb
name is the name of the network card without "/dev/"; example:
ifconfig hme0 plumb
The card is recognized as network card by the system. Then type:
ifconfig name IP_address up
Example:
ifconfig hme0 12.34.56.78 up
The card is assigned an IP address and started.
Fourth step:
Installing the card in the configuration files:
Add an IP address - host name pair for your computer in the /etc/hosts file.
Then type
echo my_host_name > /etc/hostname.cardname
Example:
echo mycomputer > /etc/hostname.hme0
Then reboot the computer.
Using DHCP is a bit more complex.

Can't get flash to work in firefox

On I. E. the flash movie works fine but when it is tried in firefox it doesn't appear. A right click of the mouse shows that the flash is there but it doesn't work. Is there something that has to be added or removed in order to make this work properly in firefox? Going to other sites and the flash works fine except when it comes to my site? There is a possibility that it is my coding but it was cut and paste from adobe. The rationale is that firefox should be able to handle this code but it doesn't? Any ideas?

Not meaning to give you mis-information. Am struggling to overcome this problem and have been able to get the firefox to host the embedded swf.
What has happened is that the web page has been recreated specifically for firefox. Being under the impression that if the embed was done on I. E. then it would tranfer to firefox automatically. This doesn't seem to be the case. In a workaround it was decided that re-doing the page would be the best way to go.
Your assistance has been and is very beneficial in that you made me aware of the publish aspect in flash. Imagine Homer Simpson giving his "D'oh!"
Not sure if what is being done is right but it works. Am able to send it to the server, able to see it working as needed and am now looking at reading the browser to send the right page.
Were it not for your information then there would be a whole lot of struggling left to do. Let me know if this is the right track, please.
Thank you!

I can't get Flash to work with Pogo games. Troubleshooting advise didn't help?

You don't specify an OS or browser, but based on everywhere I've seen this, I can pretty well surmise that you're using either Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 and Internet Explorer 11.
Your problems come from the abomination Microsoft calls a browser---Internet Exploder 11.
IE has always been the problem child of browsers, but 11 has got to be the biggest pile of garbage to come out of Redmond, WA since Vista. They rewrote the "User-Agent Strings", which websites use to identify the browser and provide the proper content for it, like ActiveX specific things. Some sites now ID it as Gecko (Firefox) while others ID it as Webkit (Chrome or Safari). Problem is, that when the content is adjusted for those User-Agent Strings, it REQUIRES the appropriate browser engine, which IE doesn't have (IE uses a Trident engine). EVERYTHING falls apart after that.
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 a 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.

Can't get flash to work on Safari

Hey so recently I wiped my hard drive and reinstalled snow leopard to get rid of a messy computer full of files. Anyways when I reinstalled snow leopard I had to download adobe flash again. The download and install go fine but when I open up Safari it says I don't have flash player installed when I try to watch Youtube or Facebook videos. The weird thing is that Firefox has it installed and works fine. Any help?

HI,
Try uninstalling your current copy of Flash, reinstall new, then repair permissions.
Go here and follow the instructions. Uninstall Flash
Install the most recent version of Flash here.
Now repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
You must uninstall the old copy first !!

Help! Can't get iChat to work.

I've created two iChat accounts so I could help my nice with any issues with her mac, but we can't connect to eachother. Our statuses are set to available but they don't show as available when we log in.
I can't figure out why it's not working. I didn't block anyone on either end.

Hi,
Your specs say OS X 10.6.8 which means iChat 5 on Snow Leopard.
You mention she has a new Macbook which suggests Lion (OS X 10.7.x) and iChat 6
These should be compatible.
Are you both using the same type of Buddy List ?
You says you have not Blocked anyone implying that this is an AIM Name at your end and that you have iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts > Security tab set to Allow All
Has she also registered some form of AIM valid Screen Name ?
AIM name (Any name registered with an AOL company stripped of the @server.com bits) like my main screen name of ralphjohnsr that came from Netscape)
An AIM name that contains either @aim.com and @AOL.com as part of the ID
Apple IDs ending in @mac.com or @me.com (with passwords of 16 characters or Less)
Any Email registered with AIM (such as using a Hotmail ID as the AIM screen name).
There are ways to get cross service Buddies in the same list but that is not for now.
Make sure you both have the same type of Buddy List (where you login in to.)
This will be either AIM or Jabber as you do not have iChat 6 according to your specs.

How can I get Flash to work with my N-trig stylus on my Surface Pro 3?

Flash doesn't work at all with the N-trig stylus on the Surface Pro 3 with the latest WinTab drivers installed. The only freehand marks I can make create large useless lines that extend way beyond the lower-right corner the stage. Is Adobe aware of this?

Many people (including me) are also having the same issue. There are several other threads about this too on adobe and Microsoft websites. Some people are even having this issue with tasblets other thsn the surface pro 3, and this is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE WE ARE PAYING MONTHLY FOR A PROGRAM THAT IS RENDERED USELESS BY THIS BUG!! I mean in almost every thread an adobe representative says the problem has been fixed internally and will be resolved with the next update, BUT WHEN IS THAT!!?? I mean if they are gonna sit here and have issues like this, they need to update them NOW not later, as we are paying EVERY MONTH and get updates like every 4-6 months. So instead of getting frequent minor and small updates to address things like this, they decide to leave us paying for a broken program for months until they're ready to release big update which will probably come with more bugs that we'll have to wait forever to get fixed all over again,
but LONG STORY SHORT:according to many adobe reps "the issue has been fixed internally and will be resolved with the next update"

Can not get Flash to work

My computer was reimaged the other day and since then I have had to reinstall a number of programs. Today when I tried to view an online show I found that my flash driver was no longer there. I have tried to install it through the adobe site but not having any luck getting the program to run.
I have version 10,3,181,14 installed. I have Windows 7 64 Bit systtem runing Professional. I am using IE9. In my C: drive under sys I have a Macromed folder with bot the Activex10 .exe file and Flashutil10 .ex file both of which have been installed. During the download process it used Adobe Download Manager and when it seems to get towards the end it disappears and no further instructions are seen.
I go back into the shows and still it does not work. Any ideas? Much appreciated.

I think it would be best to start with a clean reinstall:
download the FP uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html (save it to disk);
download the installer (EXE) from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html (save to disk);
close all browser windows, then run the downloaded uninstaller, followed by the installer.
Now can you see the Flash animation (rotating red 'F') at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ ?

Can't get flash to work with PulseAudio [Solved]

I have Pulseaudio configured according to the Wiki and everything works except flash. If I bring up a flash site, it takes over the sound card and plays fine, but won't let the card go until I shut down Firefox. During that time nothing shows up in the PA volume control. I've installed alsa-utils and libflashsupport and flashplugin-10. I also have my .asoundrc set up according to all of the sites that should force everything to pulse.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Nevermind. Apparently you don't need libflashsupport with Flash 10. I removed it and it started working.

Can't get Flash to work on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Browser

It says it is installed but every site that runs Flash tells me that it is not installed and that I need to download it

What do I have to do???
