I cannot view videos in full screen using Flash Player

I currently have Windows 8. I was pulling up some videos to get ready to watch some football games through a website. The video plays just fine until I tried to make it full screen. Then the screen is black but the audio continues just fine. I've tried all of the fixes that I can find with no luck in resolving the issue. According to Adobe's website, Flash Player is already embedded in Internet Explorer for Windows 8, so I cannot technically "install" it. According to Adobe's website, I have the most current version.
Please help! The game is on Saturday!

Ugh! This is why I don't use Internet Exploder. May I suggest downloading Firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/), and the Flash Player (Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)) for it, and see if it works better? I'll bet it does.

I cannot view videos and have downloated Adobe Flash Player several times.

I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player several times and still cannot view videos. I get the error message "you do not have Adobe Flash Player" and the screen for me to download it. Please help.

Hi,
Try the following.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
Flash Player Uninstaller.
When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller. After this has completed, restart the notebook.
Next, ( unless you already have it ), download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash. Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
Launch Firefox and see if the videos play Ok in this browser - if they do, close Firefox, open Internet Explorer and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component. When done, restart Internet Explorer.

Don,
Do you have iTunes installed on your laptop? If not, I think you will need it to see your laptop photos on AppleTV.
After installation, on the menu bar go to Advanced -> Choose Photos to Share and then select the folders you want.
In respect of printing, only a limited number of recently available printers are compatible. There are Apps which work around this, but I'm not able to recommend one.

Viewing videos in full screen or at least 2x

I watch a lot of streaming video on Safari (I don't have a TV). CNN, Jon Stewart, etc. On a Windows PC, I am able to right click an select a zooming choice (full screen. Do I need to download IE or Netscape for MAC?
Another question, somewhat related. Is anyone else watching Frontline PBS online and not able to use the Real Player link (the audio is fine, but the video plays more like a slide show)?
Thanks for reading this.

I just found an interesting apple support document that says that in mobile me, videos published by imovie and final cut etc can be viewed full screen , but ones published by aperture 3 cannot. So this implies that aperture has a problem with full screen video.... I think.
So for now, the way I found , which is to make the move a slide show, and then view the slide show seems to be the only way to view movies in full screen in Aperture 3... But it is very odd to have to do that!....

Viewing a video on full screen using multipule displays

Well, i run two monitors. my primary is a LG and i extend my desktop too a secondary amtranas monitor. the LG one is high def wide screen and my secondary amtranas one is just a regular 4:3 Monitor which i use as a tv..
what i want to do is watch video's on the secondary monitor in full screen through itunes and still be able to do work on the primary monitor. but when i go in full screen mode on the secondary monitor using itunes... it blacks out my primary one too.
is their a way too tell itunes too only play video's on one screen and not black out the others? i dont think its a nvidia setting, cause itunes is the only program that does this. so far the only way i can counter this is just too watch the video in a window..
any help would be appreciated

I am also having this same problem. I usually like to game and have my visualizer on the screen but it turns my primary moniter black too. Could someone please help us out.

Impossible to view videos in full screen mode

I realise an animation in Flash thinking it will allow to produce a more powerfull presentation than Powerpoint. It includes some videos of about 1' in .fl4 format that are in a separate file. I published this animation in .swf; and in standalone projectors for Mac and PC .exe and .app. It works well in normal mode, videos are running perfectly. But in Full screen it blocks when it get to a frame with a video, showing a black screen and freezing the animation. It does exactly the same with checking, unchecking "material acceleration" both in the Flash player when running the .exe or .swf or .app file or in the exportation (publication) parameters of the .fla file. I also try to play the .swf file in Chrome or Firefow instead of Flash Player : same problem. It does also the same on the several machines (Windows and Mac) of a museum that is supposed to run the presentation. I used Plash Player 10, then 11 and 12 version : same problem.
Result : in normal mode the presentation is dirty and it is really ruining more than three weeks of hard work.
I get through hundreds of Google searches without finding any solution.
Thank for your help. Before tomorrow if possible...

Think of Full Screen Mode like a browser that let's you watch a movie. If you stop before it ends, it remembers your place and lets you take up where you left off the next time you come back.
Move your cursor down toward the bottom middle of the full screen view. You will see a cover flow view, and you can select the project you want to view.

Cannot View Thumbnails in Full Screen

I imported 195 photo from my SD memory card to iphotos. I had a problem importing a .avi file to iphotos when I was importing the 195 photos which warranted a force quit to bypass the spinning beachball. The pictures all now show in Thumbnails and when i get info on the the total size is 175mb and all individual pictures size range from 600KB to 1MB. When I opt to view these pictures in full size i get a fullscreen exclamation mark.
These pictures are of a recent family trip to Disneyland and I am crossing my fingers that these can be retreaved so they can be view in full screen mode.
I would appreciate any assistance in finding a solution?

The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder in the Finder.
Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
However, that Force Quit may have damaged the iPhoto database, and if the above doesn't work, Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Problem with viewing videos in Full Screen

I have created a playlist containing numerous music videos in iTunes Windows XP. I have no problem entering Full Screen, but at various points of time, the full screen will cut out reverting back to the smaller size. It seems to happen after about 2 hours but usually on a different video. When I reset it to Full Screen again, it will stay for another long period but always drop back to the smaller size at some point. I have reinstalled iTunes but the problem persists. Any ideas how to correct?

I have the same problem, anything I try to do in full screen just pops right back down to the previous screen. If I play a video I can hear it, but I can't see it.

Cannot view YouTube get msg "The Adobe Flash Player is Required for video playback"

I just uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 11.5.502.110 and I still get the same message from YouTube using IE 9.0.8112 This is a Windows 7 64 bit machine with tons of RAM and a SSD HD. I have no problem with the same version Plugin using Firefox.

Did you make sure that you enabled add-on and check ActiveX filtering in your IE?

How do I watch BBC iPlayer in full screen with flash player 10.1

I was able to watch BBC iPlayer in full screen with Firefox. I can now only watch full screen with IE.
Why can I not watch iPlayer in full screen with Firefox anymore?
== After Flashplayer 10.1 installed

I have tried in safe mode and as expected it makes no difference. I am still not able to view in full screen like IE it just shows a blank white screen. I was able to view full screen with the same extensions before so removing them has not made any difference.
Thank you for your reply anyway.

When trying to view videos in full screen, It changes to the gray start up screen picture...

, and the video disappears. Any idea how to fix? Im on an early 2008 white macbook 13 inch. Running Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63). Thanks !

Hello, adammusic.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need a little more information regarding this issue to provide a better answer. However, it sounds like you are experiencing and issue with your MacBook restarting. Here is an article that I would recommend going through if you are experiencing that issue.

I cannot open youtube videos to full screen after downloading the latest version of flash. HELP

I cannot open youtube videos to full screen after updateding flash to the latest version (11. something) HELP! youtube says it is adobe's problem

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating   system
Browser
Flash   Player version
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
Windows
Mac
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
HTML5   video
Non-HTML5 video

Using Flash player even though YouTube HTML5 video player is enabled

I'm in YouTube HTML5 video player beta program (http://youtube.com/html5), but even with it being enabled, every time I play a YouTube video it's still using Flash player.

try adding '''&html5=True''' to the end of the URL
