How do i get my flash player to work?

every time i try to watch a video it tells me i need to dowmload flash player even though i have it

once you have downloaded the components for the flash player, you then need to open finder window and go to the downloads folder.
find the install flashplayer and doubleclick on it to open the installer to complete the installation process
once this is done you'll need to completely quit out of your browser and then relaunch it for the change to take effect and you should then be able to view video w/o issues

  • HT1338 How do you get abode flash player to work on a Macbook Pro Retina?

    I have downloaded the latest version of Abode Flash Player but it still does not work on You Tube, do I need to change any settings on my Mac?

    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. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 4.
    1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    2. 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. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
    Flash Player (failing).plugin
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    3. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    4. 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.
    5. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    6. 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.

  • How do you get Adobe Flash Player to work in Windows 8.1 Pro?

    Previous suggestions have not worked to allow use of Adobe Flash Player with Windows 8.1 Pro.

    That would be 11.
    There are Windows 8 troubleshooting tips here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html
    But the problem is more likely IE11 itself. Aside from Vista, it's just about the worst garbage Microsoft has unleashed on the computing public, ever. They intentionally altered the "User-Agent Strings", which websites use to identify the browser and provide the proper content for it. Some sites ID it as a Gecko browser (Firefox), while others ID it as a Webkit browser (Opera or Safari). Problem is... when the site ID's it as either of those, the browser specific content supplied REQUIRES the correct browser engine... which IE doesn't have and never will. So, it then becomes an "unrecognized 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. In fact, since they though this was a great idea, I seriously doubt they'll change it at all.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using a different browser. Trouble with that is... it's 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.

  • How do i get adobe flash player on my ipad2

    how do i get adobe flash player onmy ipad2

    Whether flash is junk or not is not my concern as a student. I have no say in what system the school decides to use for homework. I am required to use what they determine is best, not what I would prefer. They have chosen to use "Sapling," and it uses flash - whether I "get over it" or not. So thank you for a very rude and unhelpful comment.
    My point is that if Apple wants to market the iPad as a useful tool for students, some capacity to deal with flash online needs to be present, even if flash is crap. As ClayG said, flash is alive and well, and it is a reality students have to deal with - ideal or not.

    Apple does not allow that, so Adobe is not providing a Flash Player version for iOS.

    Hello, I have a new Mac Book Pro and I am unable to get Adobe flash player to work. When I install it it says it has been installed. But where do I see the application that it is there?

    Check your system preferences.
    My copy of flash installed as a preferance pane.
    If its there you will be able to check the current installed version and set preferences for flash and updating.

    Hi, Check in the plugins for Shockwave Flash plugin and make sure it's Enabled. Also any app like Click-to-Flash or other like apps will keep Flash content blocked, so check that also.

    First, Flash Player is up to version 12 so I have to wonder where you're getting the file you're trying to install from. This link is direct to Adobe, where you can get the latest version. This link will tell you which version (if any) you currently have installed. Always get Adobe products, including Flash Player, from Adobe, since other sites which tell you you need it and then offer it may be installing malware instead.

  • How to get Adobe Flash Player to work?

    After downloading Adobe Flash Player ver 10 and installing [3 times] it I still can't get FF to play vids at web locations.
    I tried all I know but I need some steps to get this working.

    The link I provided on Jan 10th should work to download the correct Plugin version of Flash. Adobe usually supplies the correct version of Flash for the browser being used at the Adobe website; how you got the Plugin version when using IE is beyond me.

  • How can I get Adobe Flash Player to install on my computer

    I just sent in a question regarding installing Adobe Flash Player on my computer.   In fact, I did it twice.  I do not understand how this discussion section works?

    Thanks so much for your answer to my first question.
    I have Windows 7 and use the Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    I do not have any version of Adobe Flash Player on my computer.  I recently received a message from Kaspersky Security that there was a problem with my Adobe Flash Player.  I then uninstalled the Flash Player that was on my computer.  I don't know what version that was.
    Now, I am trying to download another version of Adobe Flash Player on my computer.   When I hit the install  prompt, I am unable to hit run as a pop-up message comes across the bottom of my screen which asks me if I want to open or save.   When trying either of these options, I get an error message that says the attempt has failed.
    I tried to work through the help section on Adobe.com today.  I tried to go into tools and change the settings it suggested.  This also failed.
    Now, I don't know where to go from there?
