I downloaded Flash Player and it still says I need to download!

I and using a Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and I recently updated Safari to version 5 and ever since my Flash Player hasn't been working.  When I try to watch videos, it says I need to download Flash Player, so I go through the whole download process and when I try to watch a video, it still says I need to download Flash Player. When I troubleshoot my flash player it says "content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player" but I have the newest version. My Flash PLayer worked fine until I updated Safari, why is this happening?

Hi, It would be nice if the websites would use the word "Install" instead of download; big difference:-) Flash Player works in the browser, so the websites are looking for the Flash Player control, which is the Shockwave Flash which should be in your Safari browser. If you have Quicktime and know where the plugins are located, look for it there. It must be there and Enabled.
If not, then my guess is that the update to the newer version of Safari either caused a glitch or disabled it.
Using Safari, go here to test, then let me know if you can see the animation of the Flash logo(spins) and what version of Flash Player is displayed.   http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

    You can check the version under Apple Menu > System Preferences > Flash Player. Did you quit and restart Safari after the install?

    Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. All of the Camera Raw technology is part of the Lightroom program. You will either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or use the DNG converter to create digital negative copies that can be used with Lightroom 4.

    Hi,
    Google Chrome pre-installs the Flash Player in their browser.  That is why it is showing as installed in the screen-shot you posted.  Firefox does not pre-install Flash Player.  You didn't specify how you uninstalled Flash Player.  Did you use the Flash Player entry in the Control Panel or the uninstaller?  The uninstaller will uninstall all versions of Flash Player on the system, except for the version pre-installed with Google Chrome, however, you can disable that by navigating to chrome://plugins.  You may need to click on the '+' sign next to 'details' in the upper right to view all installed plugins.

  • On my Yahoo emails and certain websites I get an error message. I download and install Flash Player and I still get the error. How can I fix this? It's very annoying because I have to use IE instead.

    When I use IE I don't have this problem. It's only with Firefox.

    Update your Flash Player which is way out of date, even your newer one won't work well with Firefox and many security updates have occurred since..

    The current Flash is Shockwave Flash 10.3.181.26 You have both Shockwave Flash 7.0 r19 and 10.0 r45 -- you will probably have to uninstall the 7.0 version through the control panel, do that first. Use the Adobe page to update as you are less likely to get crapware install suggestions from that page.
    Afterwards run a plug-in update type in about:plugins into location bar and hit enter at the top of the list is a link for for plugins test which you should check out<br>

    When installing updates, watch out for crapware installs, the checking and the updates are supplied by the plugin makers -- not by Mozilla.

    You are on Windows 7, which means you've got decent hardware and software, you should be on Firefox 4. www.mozilla.com to get the latest version.
    Next week Firefox 5 comes out, your toolbar changes changes to Fx4 will still work in Fx5. Then ...
    You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic

    If you install "Adblock Plus" extension with a filter subscription such as "EasyList US" which you can subscribe to from the extensions options options once installed. That will eliminate many flash ads, and help somewhat with news sites which have a lot of Flash pages but possibly only the ads start automatically.

  • I updated Flash Player, and now it says the plug-in is blocked...

    I am on an iMac (OS X, version 10.6.8), running Safari (5.1.10).
    Flash was running fine.
    I got a notice on Facebook that I needed to update my Flash Player.
    Silly me, DID!
    And now, it says the 'plug-in is blocked' and I need to update.
    So I updated again. Still blocked.
    I did a re-start after the update, thinking that might help. Nope.
    Well, this is one way to get me off of Facebook, thanks a bunch! :-)

  • HT202681 i have down loaded the latest version of abode flash player and i still keep getting a blocked plug in message

    please help with blocked plug ins i have down loaded the latest version of abode several time and am not getting anywhere this seems to be an ongoing problem when i get updates from them

    When you download from the Adobe site, despite the button saying “install” — it really doesn't do anything but download the installer.
    Quit the Safari browser. Next to the Trash icon on your Dock, is an icon that is an alias to your Downloads folder. Click this icon once. There will be a list of previous downloads that pops up. The file closest to the Dock is the Adobe Flash installer. Click this once to launch it. It will display like this:
    Double-click the red flash folder. This produces the following dialog — you select Open.
    You will receive a password challenge. Use your Mac OS login password. You next prompt will look like this. Choose the middle selection as I have shown:
    The Adobe Flash Player will download and install via a blue progress bar. You will need to click a Finish button, and then Safari launches taking you to the Adobe site to verify Flash Player was installed.
    In System Preferences, the bottom panel now has an Adobe Flash Player preference panel. It has an Advanced tab that enables you to check if there are newer releases of Adobe Flash available, and it wil also fetch the installer for you (usually). The System Preferences panel, and Safari must both be closed for Flash Player updates to succeed.
    Eject the Adobe Flash Player installer from your Desktop.
    Once Flash Player is installed, you may need to open Safari Preferences > Security, and check Internet plug-ins: Allow Plug-ins. Click the Manage Website Settings… button, and then select Adobe Flash Player in the left panel of the pop-up. You want Allow set When visiting other websites. Click Done, and close Safari Preferences.

  • Trying to update adobe flash player and it keeps saying "Quit Firefox" but I did.

    trying to update adobe flash player on firefox and it keeps saying "Quit Firefox" but I did.

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    Do you have a MAC or Windows ?
    For Windows, you can launch Windows Task Manager and go to Processes Tab, kill "Firefox.exe"
    For MAC, you can launch Activity Monitor and Force Quit "Firefox"
    Thanks,

  • I have reloaded the latest version of Adobe Flash Player and it still crashes. I am not sure what else to do.

    I have the latest version of Firefox as well as Adobe Flash Player but the Adobe continues to crash. I even removed the plug-in and re-installed it and the plug-in will not work with any program.

  • I have a updated version of Adobe Flash player and Fixfire keeps saying I don't. Fixfire won't let me play games on facebook so I have to use internet exployer!

    Is there new fixes that I am not seeing? Is this an issue with Foxfire or Facebook?

    There is a way to manually turn off the new protected mode of Flash 11.3, if you do not want to try an earlier version. In this support article from Adobe it's under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493 Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
