How do I get rid of Flash Player?

For some time Safari's had "mini freezes" - scrolling stops for 2 or 3 seconds, and typing content also stops. It was only when I launched Activity Monitor that I saw what was going on.
There was always free RAM (I rarely use more than 2/3 of my 12GB) but under CPU it was a different story : when I had a mini freeze Activity Monitor showed Safari Web Content and Flash Player were using MORE than 100% of my CPU. Especially Flash, which at these times would be using anything from 70 - 90% of my CPU, occasionally more than 100%!
If I use Activity Monitor to Quit the Flash process, things improve dramatically, but I cannot play many videos in my browser. Is there a way to either stop Flash using so much CPU, or is there another player (browser plugin) I can use instead?
Safari 5.1.10 running in OS X 10.6.8 <-(which I use through choice!).

Oh well. To be fair, your OS and Safari are pretty ancient.
If Safari 5 is now slower than Chrome (latest version still supported in Snow Leopard) or Firefox (ditto) then I will happily switch to one of those. At the moment, I find Safari is still pretty quick, but it MAY have fallen behind?
*Also, bear in mind that I installed that extension via Apple's own website - if Safari 5 wasn't supported, that wouldn't have been possible.

How do i get the adobe flash player so i can watch youtube videos?

how do i get the adobe flash player so i can watch youtube videos?

Software is always safest directly from the developer or the App Store.
There are numerous untrustworthy 'update' sites like Cnet & Softonic, & many users won't know that one is to be trusted (so far) but not most of the others.
Adobe make Flash Player : get it from Adobe.

How can I get rid of Shockwave Player Error message? I'm not trying to play anything, but it pops up whenever I reset my Safari.

I keep getting a message on my Mac saying:
Shockwave Player Error
To view the movie, open your browser in the 32-bit mode.
1) In Safari, select applications/safari in the Finder and click more info
2) Ensure that Open in 32-bit mode is selected
3) Re-launch the browser.
I did this, and selected the open in 32-bit mode but it's still giving me this message.
Interestingly, it does this every time I reset my Safari (which I do upon closing Safari), UNLESS I unclick the "Remove all website data" item box - then I don't get this weird shockwave player error message.
I would like to know either how to get rid of the error message (stop it from popping up) or how to download/install shockwave in case I need it.

I am having this issue whenever I go to Safari privacy preferences tab it pops up this same error window repeatedly, over and over, even if I don't acknowledge the first one... it just keeps adding the error window one on top of the other. (a little offset like opening multiple browser windows).
If I switch to a different application it may even keep popping them up keeping them on top all the time.
I navigated to Library/Internet Plug-ins and there was nothing in it.

How do I get the Adobe Flash Player 10 to Work (Windows XP SP3)?

I am a Premiere Elements user who occasionally exports the Timeline to Adobe Flash Video (.flv). And, occasionally I convert the .flv export to .swf with a free .flv to .swf converter. An installed Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 successfully plays back the .swf, and an installed Adobe Media Player 1.7 successfully plays back the .flv.
Right or wrong I got the idea that the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 was really a very old version of what is now the Adobe Flash Player. So, I decided it was time to update the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 to Adobe Flash Player 10. At this point, I have the following installed on my Windows XP SP3 computer via Adobe downloads:
Adobe Flash player 10 Active X
Adobe Flash player 10
Adobe Shockwave Player 11.5
The Adobe web site verification tells me that as well as the computer Control Panel Add/Remove program list.
But, no matter what I do, .flv insists on opening only with the Adobe Media Player 1.7 and the .swf only with the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0.
I have tried
a. browsing to another Open With choice
b. changing file association in folder options as well as a few uninstalls/reinstalls and have been unsuccessful in these attempts. At one point I thought that maybe uninstalling the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 would be an approach, but I cannot find it to uninstall it. I have looked in Program Files, Documents and Settings/Application Data, Local Drive/Windows/System32, tried the computer Search...all with no luck. My browsers are Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox 2.0.0.20. The default browser is Firefox and all the appropriate "allows" are in place.
If anyone could point out the errors of my ways, I would appreciate it.

I have resolved the issues presented without having to find and uninstall the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 in order to get "Adobe Flash Player 10" playback of .swf files on my computer. When I begin this task, I expected to download an "Adobe Flash Player 10" as a player program download instead of the Internet Explorer and Firefox plugin that it appears to be.
This is what I did and what I believe I have:
1. I setup Internet Explorer 6 as my default browser and then used the following site to download Adobe Flash Player 10
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
2. As I had done before (and also suggested in another thread here), I went to Tools/Manage Add Ons and found Shockwave Flash Object, highlighted it, and clicked on Update Active X. Next, what I did not do before, I restarted the computer immediately after that.
3. Next, I set Mozilla Firefox as my default browser and then used the above site to download Adobe Flash Player 10 again.
4. With Firefox, the critical step included Firefox Tools/Options/Content with File Types (Configure how Firefox handles certain types of files) and the Manage Tab there. SWF Shockware Flash Object/Change Action/and dotting "use this plugin" - Shockwave Flash, followed by a computer restart got the job done.
Now, if I want playback of a .swf file, I can
a. Open With Internet Explorer (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
b. Open With Mozilla Firefox (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
c. Open With Macromedia Flash Player 8.0
I am satisfied with those results for my use. Any additional comments on the player vs plugin aspect of the matter would be interesting and helpful.

How can I get rid of strobe player error messages?

Can someone please tell me where I can go in the source to get rid of the error messages I keep seeing in the Strobe player such as 'Error #2032' prior to a live stream and 'Stream not found' once the live stream is done?. These error messages are annoying our customers and we need help getting rid of them.
Thanks,

We solved this problem by changing the source code. There is a function named alert() which prints the messsage to the screen. We comment out it and then compiled again. http://osmf.org/dev/osmf/specpdfs/building-osmf.pdf here is specification for compiling strobe player. In addition to these there is an option to pass the player 'verbose'. 'verbose:false' closes Error codes, but prints explanations.

How can I get 11.7 flash player to install on my windows 7, 64 bit, fox fire system?

I have uninstallled and deleted files as I read in the FAQ section and flash player still won't work. The games says that flash player must be installed. I have a blank box when I check in the "do you have flash player?" adobe page.

Just wanted to pop in and say, good job galhe! There is a wealth of information in this forum. One of the easiest ways is to use the search forums. Nice to see. By the way, that is the first thing to check, if it is not there, FP will not work, then it
is back to square one. Don't forget Java, youtube and other sites want the latest Java( which is JRE 6 update 18 as of yesterday) just like they ask for the latest Flash Player version. Just a FYI.

How do you get rid of Real player?

For some reason when I connect my ipod to my computer Real player has become the default application. I cannot get music match to recognise it any more.
Can anyone help?

Musicmatch is no longer supported by Apple but the fix is easy. Either you can remove the RealPlayer software(highly recommeneded) or you can re-assign Musicmatch as the default media player for Windows by right-clicking on the icon and going to Properties.

How To Get Newest Adobe Flash Player So You Can Play Pc Game

How Do I Get The Newest Flash Player on my IBbook G4 To PLay Woozworld If The Newest Flash Player isn't Compatible With my mac Ibook G4...Please Some one help

The iBook G4 800 Mhz model is limited to Mac OS X 10.4.11.
The iBook G4 1 Ghz and higher models can run up to Mac OS X 10.5.8.
Adobe Flash for PowerPC can be upgraded based on this thread:
Flash 11.5 hack for PowerPC
On both operating systems. However, if the game is developed for a newer version of Flash, or uses ActiveX and requires more than Windows 2000, you can't use it on an iBook G4. Please note, games in general from the PC world that require any special animation or audio file formats generally are not playable on PowerPC Macs, unless they were ported to them. You may seriously want to consider getting a used or refurbished Intel Mac, if playing Windows games is important to you*:

How to get past the Flash Player Download screen when a newer version is already installed?

Does anyone know how I can get past the Flash Player Download? I already have a newer version then what is trying to load. Therefore, I get a screen telling me the same, but I still can't access the files I need. It is a vicious loop I'm stuck in. Can anyone help me?

Hi..
Are you running Lion v10.7 by chance even though your profile indicates v10.6.8 ??
I ask because you can only reinstall apps using Lion Recovery
Much better to ask for help with Safari here before trying to delete the app and reinstall.
Is the Safari app still in the Trash by chance?

A virus called "flash player pro" has entered my iPad. I cannot access Facebook, Yahoo, or iTunes. How do I get rid of this virus?

Your iPad does not have a virus unless it is jailbroken. Close all apps nd reset your iPad. Clear Safari as well.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
Closing apps in iOS 7 works like this. Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

Lion no longer supports PowerPC apps. If this is Microsoft Office 2008 (Entourage 2008) then you should disable the syncing services. (I don't have Office 2008 installed anymore so I don't know exactly what it's called anymore.) If you have Microsoft Office 2004 or earlier, then it can't be run on Lion at all since Lion removed Rosetta, which is what allowed a PPC app to run on an Intel based Mac.
Also, I believe Microsoft removed sync services from the current Outlook 2011 (which replaces Entourage) so even upgrading to a newer version of Microsoft Office will not get you back that calendar sync feature. Supposedly Microsoft is working on a new syncing system, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

FLV flashing frames how do I get rid of them

I've got a very clean wmv file that transitions from one still to the next wonderfully (800x600).
I got to the Media Encoder (CS4) and when it makes my FLV/F4V (ans I've tried h.264).
All of a sudden I get after the fading transition from one still to the next there is a brief a
flashing (like its going back in the fade transition several steps) for a couple frames.
This is really annoying. What is going on and how do I get rid of it?

This is the forum for the Flash Media Live Encoder. For the encoder that ships with CS4 - please post on the Premiere Pro or Flash Pro forums.
