  • Cannot install new adobe flash player, download tells me to turn firefox off, i can't figure out how to do this. i get this message even when i try from your request to upload new program. karen miller

    please help i found some info but it's too high tech for me to understand example go taskmaster>processes tab exit firefox.exe. can't even figure out where this is! if firefox is going to control upgrades then there should be a less frustrating way to achieve this!!! please advise my next step is uninstall firefox & use another internet program.

    Firefox must not be open when the Flash installer is run. Use the following information and instructions.....
    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
    *an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
    *a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
    *On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
    '''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
    Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    *only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
    *page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
    '''<u>Install or update Adobe Flash</u>'''<br />
    #'''<u>Using Firefox</u>''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
    #*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    #When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
    #Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
    #*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
    #*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
    #*The installation is quick.
    #Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    #To update/install the ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''', repeat the process, '''<u>but use IE to go to the above website</u>'''.

How can I download the Adobe acrobat? I assume I don't have to pay for the program again? Thank you for all your help! Angelo.

    If you had purchased Acrobat Standard subscription.
    You need to download the application from below website :

    Sign in with Adobe ID and Password and once signed in click on Acrobat tab and download the application.

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
    Puffin
    SkyFire
    Photon Flash
    Browse2Go
    iSwifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

  • PLEASE help me!!! I,ve been all over looking for help/store or whatever to down load adobe flash player to open a certain website.  I need that app or something similar. I am a first time iPad user and not that swift on a computer either

    Please!!

    Funny you mentioned that analogy... because John the Baptist was a heavy drinker... (could steve jobs be secretly accessing flash content on his ipad?)

    Trying to download adobe flash.  At step three, an "offer" to purchase some bundle-up program for $9.99/month appears.  No other option except to hit "Purchase Now" button.  Anyone know how to get around this?

    Are you trying to get Flash Player or Adobe Flash, which is part of the Adobe CS Suite? If it is just Adobe Flash Player you want, go here.

    Hey, I'm trying to install Adobe Flash on my Macbook Air. At a certain point it asks for my password but it doesn't take it. So I cannot continue installment. I have reset my password already. Still the same problem. How can I continue to install when it keeps asking for a password it doesn't recognize over and over again? How many times do I have to reset it then? Advice please

    You have to provide your computer's administrator password in order to install Flash Player.

  • I am trying to confirm the time at which a particular backup occurred using an external hard drive that I have since misplaced. Although time machine lists the backup times for some backups, it does not list them for all. Can someone help?

    I am trying to confirm the time at which a particular backup occurred using an external hard drive that I have since misplaced. Although time machine lists the backup times for some backups, it does not list them for all, including the one in question. Can someone help?

    Okay, I've sussed it.  I saw a link to another discussion that hadn't turned up in any of my searches before I posted the question above.
    My Tosh HDD was formatted to FAT 32 and therefore would not be backed up by Time Machine.  I removed all data from it - nightmare as I hadn't enough space to put it on the macbook HDD, but, after trawling through numerous photos and deleting rubbish for hours, I finally made enough space and copied all data across.  Then, after clearing the data from the Tosh HDD, I used disk utilitity to reformat it to Mackintosh OS Extended.  Chose the option without kournalling because I'm not baking up onto this disk and so don't need it - according to some other discussions I found.
    When it was done I check on time machine in system prefs and once I selected options, I was able to remove it from the excluded from backups list.  Hey presto.  Now I'm moving my photo library and my music library onto the Tosh HDD and my macbook should start to breath again.  Hurray.

  • Every time i turn off my computer and back on i have to unistall and reinstall adobe flash player

    Everytime i turn off my computer and back on i have to unistall and reinstall adobe flash player11.8 . I have tryed everything i could find on the internet, nothing helps. please help.  I wish i could contact adobe directly but don't know how. Been trying to fix it for a week.

    Download and save the uninstaller Save it to your downloads folder -  DO NOT run it yet.
    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking one (or both) of the following links and selecting "Save Target as"(IE) or "Save Link as"(other browsers).
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Save the installer(s) to your downloads folder - DO NOT run it(them) yet.
    Reboot your system.
    BEFORE you run anything else, locate and run the uninstaller.
    When it finishes, run the  installer(s) to put Flash Player on your system again.
    If you use IE see also:Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer  and: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer

  • When trying to load adobe for mlbtv mazzila seens to conflict

    when i try tom watch a game on firefox it wants me to load adobe flash player. when i try to use adobe exe. it tells me i have to close mozilla.

    For fonts, I found the following from another poster -
    Check for duplicate fonts.
    Applications>Font Book
    Select “All Fonts”
    If you see any “black dots” next to any fonts this mean you have duplicates and/or multiple versions of these fonts.
    To clean this up, select a “black dotted” font or the Apple + click to select multiple dotted fonts;
    Edit>Resolve>Duplicates.
    What the above does is turns off the duplicates & multiple version fonts. Not delete them.
    More than likely the “extras” were installed by other programs and/or other users.
    Clear out font caches
    Use FontNuke. It does all the work for you. And, best of all it’s FREE.

    Apple's iOS platform (iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch) has never, and will never support flash.
    First on this; Thoughts on Flash. This is from Steve Jobs regarding Apple's views on Flash (2010)
    Second; Adobe stops making Flash for mobile devices. This is from Adobe themselves last year stating that they would stop making Flash for mobile devices.
    If you can find the App equivalent of the programs you are looking for, then congratulations, however, if you require specific 'programs' requiring flash, then the iPad is certainly not for you, and returning it would be the best choice (granted you are still within the return period).
    The lesson in this; Research what a device can and cannot do prior to purchase

    My iPad says, "iPad Not Backed Up."  This iPad hasn't been backed up.  Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connect to WiFi."  When I touch "OK," nothing happens.  When I try to turn it off, this message remains, and I can't slide to power off.  Right now, it is "frozen up" and useless.

    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 - let go of the buttons.
