I have to reinstall/update Flash player everyday?

Hi I am a Mac user (MAC OSX 10.6.8) and I use safari as my main browser. (safari version 5.1.5)
The thing is when I try to watch youtube videos, at least once a day my video just turns black, or it says 'plug-in failure'.
I found that the solution for this is updating the flash player, but since this happens everyday I am updating flash everyday.
Everytime I update flash player, the videos work fine.
Last time I installed Flash player was yesterday, the latest version possible, and yet the problem occurred just now.
When I install flash player, I do not uninstall previous versions , simply because it worked fine with them.
Could that be the main problem?
I'm just getting really sick of updating this everyday, force quitting all my browsers and losing all the tabs I had opened.
Please help?

You don't need to uninstall Flash Player before installing a new version. Because you install Flash Player everyday, it won't be an update. You are simply installing the version that's already present in your machine.
Could you please go to the following page and let us know the Flash Player version displayed there? https://help-internal.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player. html
Does this issue happen only with specific sites or with all the sites?
Thanks,
Suni

I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected. I have recently updated my email address and changed my password, but adobe will not accept. Can I get help, please, to update flash player?

I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected. I have changed my email and password and have so informed adobe, but I am still unable to install flash player update. How can I update adobe flash?

This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt. If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.

I have to reinstall the flash player everytime I reboot

Once again I'm having trouble with the flash plugin. Here's my previous question: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/979513?esab=a&s=&r=0&as=s I had thought I found a way to keep flash from bugging up again by simply going back to an old version and waiting for another update. Unfortunately even that isn't working any more. Now every time I reboot my system the flash player plugin no longer works. It's their on the list and it says it's active. I've updated to the newest one and I've check to see if it's in conflict with any of the other plugins, it's not. I've uninstalled and reinstall both old and new versions but nothing seems to stick now.
I may like Firefox's set up better but this is getting really annoying.

Okay, do you know why both seamonkey and opera both have flash working as well? Firefox seems to be the only one that's having these issues consistently. I've also noticed that I need to do a manual install of flash rather than use the firefox plugin updater.
And yes I do use the start menu shut down.

Why do i have to always update flash player before i can preview page in a browser?

everytime i load a swf file into dwcs6, i need to update my flash player before i can use it? Why? how do i get round this so i dont have to update all the time?
thanks

Umm... don't use Flash?
It's a dead web technology. The world's most popular web devices don't support it (iOS, Androids, etc...) IMO, you would be doing yourself and your site a visitors a huge favor if you moved to HTML5 video.

Constantly have to reinstall latest flash player

I have a pain-in-the-***-problem!
I'm running the latest Internet Explorer (IE8) and the latest
flash player (on a Vista(32) platform).
Everytime my computer has been turned off, I have to
reinstall flash player eventhough it's activated, enabled, run as
administrator and everything else that normally may cause it not to
function.
Not only do I have to reinstall FP, but I also have to
uninstall it first before reinstall!!
Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

I use the uninstaller also but after restarting my computer
the flash player is no longer installed anymore.
I'm just using Firefox and Chrome until I can get this
working on IE 8.

Firefox does not play videos online except on YouTube. I have the latest updated flash player . What is the problem ?

The videos do not play except on YouTube. It shows an error message that it can't play the video. I have the latest updated Adobe Flash player. And the same videos work well on IE and GC !

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Having to reinstall Adobe Flash Player over and over and over....,

I've ignored this problem for a while now and I really want to get this over with. It's really starting to piss me off.
So I have to download adobe flash player over and over because Steam tells me "You will need to Install the latest Flash plugin to view this page properly" (I'd like flash player to work so I could watch trailers from the Steam window instead of searching up trailers on my browser.) So I do and maybe in about a few days I have to reinstall another flash player. But what's weird is when Steam's flash player doesn't work I can watch Youtube videos just find on Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Try uninstalling it this way first.

Cannot update Flash player on Mavericks or Yosemite?

I have tried to update Flash Player on my MacBook Pro for both Mavericks and Yosemite, but it always gives me this message:
How can I successfully install flash player?

As I have stated previously, this does not work. There is no tool to uncompress the plugin inside the bundle. Installation fails on Yosemite every time, no matter what installer is used.
Please read this thread to examine my findings.

I have been getting a popup dialog box asking me to update flash player, but I don't know if I should trust it, as the exe file name is "tmp4E11.exe".

Hi Team,
I am only sending you an email as I am unable to find the answer to this question anywhere on your web site.
Just started within the past half an hour, I have been getting an update Flash Player dialog box popping up on my desktop, saying to update now or later or not at all, but I don't recognize it as the standard type of update dialog box that is sent by Adobe. The file name that is being used to click on for the update is "tmp4E11.exe:, is this a genuine Adobe update. I just can't stop this dialog box from popping up every ten seconds. HELP please.
Thanks.

Hi,
if it's popping up every 10 seconds or so it's not official Flash Player update as ours does not display that often. Can you post a screenshot of it, How to post a screenshot in the forum.
