I have Shockwave but FireFox tells me I need to install the plugin.

When I try to use a web page that needs Adobe Shockwave, FireFox tells me the plugin is missing. I just checked for the add-on, and it says I have Shockwave Flash (I'm not sure if this is the same thing, but I assume so.). I tried installing the plugin, but it said "Installation failed" and then asks me to do it manually (which I can't do). I was wondering if it was something wrong with FireFox or if I actually don't have it?
In addition, all my plug-in's are enabled except the ones that have been automatically disabled by FireFox.
== It's been going on for quite a while.

Your plugins list shows outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
# Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32
# Java Plug-in 1.5.0_06 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)
Update the [[Java]] and [[Flash]] plugin to the latest version.
See

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

    i have a HP laptop, when i try to do certain things that require flash player it tells me i need to install the latest version so when i try it says its already installed. i have tried all the trouble shooting suggestions and it stll isnt working. I even checked the activex filtering and that doesn't seem to be the problem.

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

  • Ihave installed the latest Adobe flash player and youtube still tells me I need to install the latest adobe flash player.  what is the problem?

    I have installed the latest ersion of the Adobe flash player, and youtube still says I need to install the latest version of Adobe flash player in order to see the video.  What's the problem?

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

  • What is the deal with Firefox? I keep installing the new update, it restarts, and then it tells me I need to install the same update?

    This is happening on my Mac, my husband's Mac at work, and his Apple laptop. What is the deal?

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
    *Firefox 37.0.2: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    *Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
    Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install or update Firefox.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
    Open the Firefox disk image file and drag the Firefox program into the Applications folder on your hard drive.
    You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but instead drag it out of the DMG folder.

  • Why does it tell me I need to install the full version of flash player when I do have the full version installed.

    I'm trying to open a pdf attachment that apparently has flash content in it. When I go to the download page, it says I need to install the full version. We are set up to distribute within our company because part of our network is offline. I assumed what we were downloading is the full version. Is there something else I'm missing?

    Downloading from a browser?  If so, what browser?

    Thank you Terence for your help.  I was able to restore my backup from my time machine ext drive to a new 1tb seagate ext drive.  so i felt sort of ok.  but yesterday that older ext drive i used for time machine wouldn't open! i called applecare and they trouble shooted with me and said it's probably a goner and data is probably corrupted.  it's only a few years old and i'm very careful with it.  my husband accidentally dropped my new drive last night -- i know, unbelievable, i was SO upset, poor guy -- but I'm so stressed with all of this.  i have 10 years of photos and videos.  so now i only have the one newer drive with a backup.  i have to buy another one today to backup again so i at least have two backups.  i tried to delete a ton of files last night to free up the 30 gb of space i need to get my full library back on my mac. i have 90gb free and deleted 7 years worth of photos i had on picasa that were in my "pictures" folder and also a ton or random photos and videos i had in that same pictures folder and thought that would give me the 30 gb but it hardly freed up any space at all!  do you know why that is?  all of this stuff is really a pain and really stressful.  thank god i did have a backup in the first place but now i am panicked the one i have left will somehow crash.  especially after my husband dropped the drive lastnight! it didn't fall far and fell onto a wood floor and seems fine, but after my older ext drive crashed yesterday -- and i lost my entire iphoto library a fewweeks ago off my mac -- i feel cursed.  any answers you have would be great. thank you.

  • HT2534 I have already set up an Itunes account, but it says that i need to review the account. I guess i am not finished setting it up yet. I don't have a credit or debit card, and now i can't figure out how to put in 'none.'  How do I do this??? Pleaase

    I have already set up  and Itunes account, but it says that i need to reveiw the account. I guess i have not finished setting it up yet. But when i go into the payment information it says that i need to fill out the type of credit/debit card that i have. Well, i don't have one! How do i put that i have 'none?' it doesnt even have a 'none' button. PLLEEAAASseeee help me!!! Please:)

    If the amount of the purchase is close to $21.07, then you need to take into account taxes may be added.
    If you go beyond the credit from a gift card the balance will be billed to your credit card account.

  • I have two apple accounts, but can only access one. I did all the steps to recover the older account's password but nothing worked. I need to access the older account to update apps. Also would there be a way to just combine both accounts?

    Were you able to reset the account's password ? If not then how did you try to get it reset e.g. http://iforgot.apple.com (which would have sent it to the rescue email address if you have one on that account) ? You can also try contacting iTunes Support in your country to get it reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    And no, accounts can't be merged nor content transferred between accounts.

    Hello, I have been experiencing similar problems and followed the suggestion and yes, the raw icon comes up as illustrated but there is nothing there to indicate any further action can be taken.  So I am presuming that means it is installed and no further action required?
    Here's my problem:  I have had no problems  getting my pics into my organiser in Elements 12 from either my Nikon D7100 or my Fujifilm X100S - until last week.  Suddenly when they are imported all I see is the timer icons but they don't open to let me view them.  If I click on one it will open and I can then edit it but it will not save an image onto the grid for me to view so it's really frustrating not being able to view all my photos in order to decide what to edit and compare them.
    Here's what action I've taken so far - restarted the computer (endlessly), checked the updates and installed them, checked I have the latest raw plug in (I do) and gone into edit/update thumbnail (doesn't do a thing) - and torn out a fair amount of my hair.  So anyone out there experienced this and can give me some advice? Please?
