How can I save global settings? (already tried everything...)

Hi everyone,
I have a PC with Windows 7 - 64 bits and I am using the latest version of Flash Player (14.0.0.145 right?) on Mozilla Firefox.
I have a very frustrating bug with adobe for ages, maybe someone know how to fix this... Basically, when I try to watch a video or play a game that requires adobe flash player, I either get a black screen or an everending loading animation. I quickly understood that it is linked with my storage settings because I am able to play some flash games that does not require any local storage. So of course I tried to changes my local storage settings/website storage settings and I am totally unable to change those settings. When I right-clic any video/game that is bugged I can change settings but those changes are not saved, same when I change things on my computer directly on control panel, and on the online flash player help I can't check any boxes and any other change is not saved neither.
To solve this I already (not necessary on that order) :
- disabled AD-block
- checked if flash is activated on Firefox
- checked if I don't have any older version installed
- uninstalled and reinstalled flash player with and without the uninstall tool available on adobe.com
- checked my registry
- deleted %appdata%/adobe/flash... and / micromedia/flash... (sorry don't remember the exact directories)
- checked for viruses, malewares, ...
- I did all this several times the last 4-6 months, not sure when it started.
So one last thing I tried is to check that adobe is allowed to acces and rewrite files and thought this might be the problem, but even after checking it it still doesn't work. So please, I have 2 questions :
1) Does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem?
2) Where are flash player settings/preferences saved on my PC? So maybe I could manually check if the acces to this file is opened or maybe manually change the preferences myself by editing the file...?
Thank you very much by advance, really sorry if this has already been asked and solved but I swear I've been looking for answers on the web without finding anything for quite a long time. And finally sorry for english mistakes, english is not my native language. If any other information is needed to help, ask me and I will gladly answer it.

Edit : english

Thank you for all the details on what you already did.
it seems that you already did a clean install, but try again all the steps outlined in https://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315
the above article also contains the locations where the Flash Player settings are stored.

    All the phone settings are save in the backup which is automatically created when you sync the phone.

    Please clarify what you mean by "resetting" the phone. When you reset the phone, no data is deleted.  Do you actually mean Restore the phone?  See the User Guide, Appendix B for the correct terminology,

    If you want to backup your preferences, you have to look in a hidden folder in your profile for prefs.js
    In windows try ->Documents and Settings -> Mozilla -> Firefox -> Profiles
    copy this to your backup location or a USB memory device if you want to put it into a different computer

    Firefox does not save game results for the next time the game loads. What setting governs this?

  • My Ipod Touch 4 froze during the actualization and is stuck half-way though loading from few days now. How can I reset it? I tried everything and it wont even switch on. HELP!

    It wont switch off or keep loading. I switched it off from the itunes, on, off, on, and back again. The load bar ?(the one under the apple sign when your ipod is switched off and loading) is not even half way through loaded. Is there a special button to reset the ipod? I honestly care If i lose all info. I just want it on!!!

    If it is currently off, you can put it in recovery mode then do a restore, then restrore from backup. I have a history with...kinda...messing with my iPod Touch so I had bricked it a lot. You can put it in recovery mode by:
    Having your USB charger connected to the computer already
    iPod off
    Now you hold down the iPod home button, keep the iPod off though.
    Now, while you are still holding the button, plug it into the computer.
    Keep holding on to the button until a screen with a USB cable and an iTunes logo show up.
    Now open your iTunes on the computer and do a restore.
    Honestly, this is my last stand, I hope this helps!

    How can I STOP iTunes from automatically trying to add podcasts to my iPod when I plug it in and sync it, so I can manage the files? I have already unchecked "Sync Podcasts" and "Automatically include,"yet EVERY time I sync it,it still transfers podcasts as the last step, and at other times randomly, when trying to just add some MP3's to a playlist, for example.  I can't seem to find any other option to uncheck, and can't find an answer from my so-far internet searching.

    erict, you blew me away with that suggestion! It was something so simple I couldnt believe I hadnt thought of it! But in the end it didn't work, which I was really surprised about. On Windows anytime anything was moved itunes was hoplessly lost, but on this mac it still kept up with everything. I tried renaming folders, moving folders, and even renaming moved folders but it still kept trying to import.
    I even went as far as deleting EVERYTHING i had moved to the Mac, which didnt really work. It still kept trying to import what wasnt there which made it continue to freeze up. However, after doing this it, the freezing was not nearly as bad. It gave me enough of a break to cancel it through the itunes dialog box at the top of the app. So in the end, thats all I really needed to do, only before I had deleted everything the freezing would not allow me to do it.
    So now Im reimporting everything again, only slowly, and only a few Artists at a time.

    Unfortunely, all movies and songs purchased in iTunes will be lost...you'll have to purchase them again! Any applications you've purchased, you can download again for free.
    Music Rescue is a program you can use to transfer any and all data (music, movies, pictures..) from your iPod to your computer, and iTunes.

  • "Import SIM Contacts" under settings-so how can you save to SIM card?

    Update took several hours and afterwards, contacts as well as internet bookmarks and map bookmarks are gone. However, the pictures under the camera icon remain. How is that? Are they on the SIM card? How come contacts didn't save to the SIM card? How can you save to the SIM card through itunes or the phone?
    Bueller?...Bueller?...Bueller?

    Apps you can re-download for free. SMS's are part of the iPhone backup, they would have to copy that folder to a thumb drive along with your photos, calendar & contact database. Your iPhone backup is located here:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Regarding your contacts & calendar, you'd have to first export them to the thumb drive, then copy to the proper location on the computer you intend to use. Same with your iphone backup & pics.

  • How can I save the Personal Settings done in the SAP standard viewer

    Dear All,
    I am facing the problem that I am not able to save changes made in the personal settings of the SAP standard viewer. I want to change the Colors to monochrome and I also want to change the background. Unfortunatelly these changes are not saved and I have to do that every time I am starting the viewer.
    How can I save these changes?
    Thank you very much for your help.
    Best regards,
    Markus

    Dear Markus,
    normally the personal settings for the ECL Viewer are stored in the registry. Here the value for background color is for example stored in the following directory:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/SAP/VCT_Retained/6.1/Common/de/ImageViewUtils
    Depending in the language of the operating system the key has weither the value 'en' (english) or 'de' german.
    So here the personal settings should be stored or can be modified directly.
    Best regards,
    Christoph

  • When I try to same an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!

    When I try to save an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated to one of the firefox versions (Not sure which one it was)

    Thanks Alex, but sadly I already tried that. Neither .docx or .xlsx files show up in the content list. They both show as a Chrome HTML document so changing how Firefox addresses those doesn't help since it thinks its the same type of file. I don't think I can manually add files into the "Content Type" left side nav.

  • How can I save my current Firefox customization to install on a new Windows 7 installation

    This is not asking for a problem fix.
    How can I save my current Firefox 3.6 customization, toolbar set-up, plug-ins, add-ons, etc. to a file or files so I can install it, pre-customized, after I do a re-format and clean install of a new Windows 7 operating system?
    I am currently in Windows Vista.
    I'm just trying to make it so I don't have to re-customize everything I already have done by doing a fresh installation of Firefox.
    Or can I just save the existing Mozilla Firefox program folder and then drag and drop it into the new programs folder in Windows 7?
    Thanks,
    numetro

    A couple of links that can help with this, [[Backing up your information]] and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup Profile backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]. The second one includes a link to a free utility that can make this easier.
    Just saving the progams folder will not work, the user data is stored elsewhere.

  • How can I save my contact sheets in Photoshop Lightroom?

    How can I save my contact sheets in Photoshop Lightroom? I see that you create the sheets under the Print tab but how can I save them as jpgs to my desktop?

    Kittie,
    I use this workflow and it works really well for me; it's really strange that it
    i did
    work for you and now it doesn't.
    I had a quick dabble and
    i may
    have an explanation. If I read your error message it looks like "New Folder" is trying to create a folder ~kittie/Desktop/3 Working/Contact Pages. However, the automator "create folder" won't create folders recursively like that - it will only work if "3 Working" already exists. Certainly I was able to reproduce the 'quick flash error message and bomb out with no results' effect by asking it to produce a directory from one that didn't already exist. When I added two Finder actions it didn't work as I expected - producing 74 files in subdirectories that just looped round and round when I expected one file and one directory.
    I added a shell script that renames the files too and it all works just dandy for me. If you let me know your e-mail I'll post the automator "app" file and shell script I use. It gives you sensibly named files instead of the sdkjfdfadkljfb.jpeg thing that comes out of automator.

  • How can i edit APN settings on 4s

    how can i edit APN settings on 4s

    The above post won't help you.
    The iPhone already contains the correct APN settings for all supported carriers, & any updates to those settings are done automatically. Fact is, most carriers don't want users messing with these settings. As far as a carrier adding itself to this database, if not supported, doesn't work that way.
    If you have an officially unlocked iPhone, & you're trying to use it with a non-supported carrier, you're gonna have to manually edit these settings. Directions here:

    And here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4839
    Or, you can go here:

    That web site contains a collection of APN settings for non-supported carriers.

    '''Did you backup whatever bookmarks you did have on the computer ? '''
    Remember any restoring of bookmarks overwrites whatever he current set is, and you may not want to loose them.
    Even if up until now you have not made any backups of Desktop bookmarks Firefox will have backed up some of them into sets of daily bookmark backups. Once you have backed up your current set you could look at what it has by restoring those bookmarks, you may find one of those sets is fairly complete.
    By the way if you look at the profile files and folders that you should now have on the desktop you should see it contains a bookmarks backup folder, the size of the files within should indicate whether they contain anything.
    You need to go into the bookmarks library and try the restore option. Backup each set that you look at if it has anything of use in it, before trying the next set. With look one of those will be a fairly complete set of bookmarks.
    * USE '''Show All Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Restore '''
    ** see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer#w_restoring-from-backups]]_restoring-from-backups
    I do not use Firefox on mobiles, but before you try anything further you do need to backup the desktop bookmarks and learn what existing backups you have. Unless you master that you are in continual danger of overwriting and loosing bookmarks.
    Presumably you have already found this listing of help articles for mobiles
