I need information on Adobe Flash Player

Lately, when I try to use sites I have used before, I get the message to Upgrade to Adobe Flash Player. I thought I already had that and I can't seem to install it. Is it free? Can someone help me?

Could you please see the information in the following link? http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html#Flash_P layer_for_Safari
I suspect Flash Player is downloaded in your computer. Ideally it should be there in your Download folder. You need to install it by following the steps mentioned in the above link.
Also, ensure that Plug-ins and JavaScript are enabled in Safari. (Go to Preference in Safari and see if they are enabled.)
Thanks,
Sunil

I need to uninstall Adobe Flash Player Installer/Uninstaller 14.0 r0

I need to uninstall Adobe® Flash® Player Installer/Uninstaller 14.0 r0 but have looked everywhere for how to do this & can not find out how to do this can someone please help? I am using A Sony Vaio, Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, I use Chrome Version 36.0.1985.143 m.
I want to get it off of my system because ever since I installed it I have had problems with Chrome loading it does not want to load then if I restart my comptuter & I click on chrome 5 windows open up at one time a white box appears saying "Your profile can not be used because it is from a newer browser version of google chrome. Some features may be available. Please specify a different profile directory or use a different version of chrome" then if you click ok it shuts all the windows down. I have figured a way to get one window to stay open so I can use chrome, now I do have other browser I can use but I do not like them at all & do not have a flash player since mine is built in with Chrome. So on to the other problem that began as soon as I downloaded this & I understand it may not be this but I still want to get it off of my computer. I also have been having trouble with my flash player error messages: saying it has stopped working constantly, it says upgrade flash text, a plug in shock wave flash isn't responding then in (stop plug in) it wants you to hit. I have run 3 different Mallware programs through my computer just in case that was one question that was going to be ask. No other programs jave been downloaded wither.
I am not very good with computers so I have to come to places like this for help & I really have to have help explaining what to do because do not know much about computers other then getting on them & surfing the web & some basic things. When chromes message said specify a different profile directory that went right over m head. So that should give you an idea where I am coming from. I want to thank you in advance & hope I have made sense in what I have written I tried to give all the information that I could.

Your screenshot of task manager clarifies things.
When I replied, I had been looking at the screenshot of the desktop from the original poster, which shows the uninstaller executable and it's properties. That executable doesn't install anything -- it can just be dragged to the trash; however, that didn't completely align with the behaviors either of you were describing, and we've been trying to figure out what you were talking about. It wasn't making a lot of sense to me, and it's not a question that I've seen come up before, at least not articulated this way.
FlashUtil32_XX_XX_XX_XX.exe is the sandbox broker for Internet Explorer. You can read more about the sandbox work here: Flash Player Security with Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10
The description listed in Task Manager is a bug, and the source of the confusion. We've been doing a lot of work modernizing our build systems, and this is fallout from that work. This is something I'd like to see cleaned up, but it's pretty low on the list of priorities.
The broker service is invoked when Internet Explorer is running in Protected Mode. On my Windows 7 machine running IE 10, running Flash content in Internet Explorer with Protected Mode enabled causes the broker service to be invoked (this is probably true for previous versions as well, but I didn't test them). If I disable Protected Mode and restart Internet Explorer, the broker is not invoked, which is expected.
To disable Protected Mode, launch Internet Explorer and choose security. Uncheck Enable Protected Mode. Internet Explorer will restart, and you should be able to verify that the broker is no longer invoked when loading content with Flash Player.
I've included a screenshot showing the expected processes in both scenarios below. As the Flash Player ActiveX control is loaded into an Internet Explorer process, you'll see the child explorer.exe process listed, which hosts the Flash ActiveX control in the process list.
Sandboxing the Flash Player plug-in is an important security mitigation intended to increase the cost of successfully developing and deploying malware. While it's not a panacea, it significantly raises the bar for attackers. As I'm sure you've read in the news and trade literature, the threat landscape has evolved significantly over the last few years, and modern security threats and their mitigations are a necessary reality. New mitigations typically come with some additional processing overhead. The overhead varies based on the architectural choices made by the particular browser vendors, but the overhead in IE is pretty reasonable.
We haven't published a blog post specific to IE, but if you're interested in the implementation details, the sandbox architecture is similar to what we did with Protected Mode for Firefox on Windows. The Flash Player process that handles untrusted content runs at Low Integrity, which restricts access to critical system resources in the event that you encounter malware designed to take control of the Flash Player process. Access to system resources is negotiated through a Medium Integrity broker process. Without Protected Mode, the Flash Player process handling untrusted content runs at Medium Integrity, making it easier for malware to escalate privileges from a hijacked process. Depending on the functionality in play, a lot of message-passing can take place between IE, the broker and Flash Player. We've effectively doubled the number of messages that get passed, plus put a bunch of validation checks in, and all of that consumes CPU. It also makes your web browsing activity more secure.
Some desktop applications (Yahoo Messenger, for example) also use the ActiveX version of Flash Player installed on your machine. This could explain why you see Flash Player and the broker invoked unexpectedly. We're also aware of an issue on Vista where the broker doesn't always exit as expected. In that instance (and on WinXP), I'd highly recommend that people use Google Chrome for web browsing, as Google has extended some security mitigations that would only be available to Internet Explorer users running in newer versions of Windows, and it doesn't suffer from this specific issue with the broker.

Hi, I need to install Adobe Flash Player because the version I have installed in my Mac Os is old, but I can´t because I need to write my email and my password and I don´t remember my password, so what can I do?

The email and password will be the ones for your computer's security, not something for any Adobe product. You might need to consult Mac customer support if you are unable to determine the required information.

I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

The same thing happens to me, Safari asks me to update the Adobe FlasPlayer, I download, start the installation process, ask me my username and password in order to install, then see a window where I choose if I want to always install the updates , or ask first, or not inslate updates, and at this point it is not progress, I can not cancel the process, I turn off and turn on my machine.
What can I do ..??

I need to use Adobe Flash PLayer for an online conference. I get a pop-up blocked message.

I need to use Adobe Flash PLayer for an online conference. I get a pop-up blocked message. I have already unblocked pop-ups as far as I can see.
Maybe I'm missing something?

After installing Flash, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.

Need help w/adobe flash player, PLEASE

I need help!! I bought my daughter a V-Reader from V-Tech for Christmas and I am trying to get it set up. I have gone through all the steps of trying to upgrade the software. However, when I try to begin the process it is telling me I need to install Adobe Flashplayer. So I go to Adobe & download & install Adobe Flash player 11 ActiveX. However, when I go back to the set up portion of this V-Reader, it is still telling me I need to install Adobe Flash Player. I am so confused & don't know what to do. I am not very computer savy, so whatever help I can get needs to be pretty easy to understand & would be extremely appreciated. I have Windows Vista, I really don't know what else you need to know. Thanks for any & all help.....

Am I correct to assume that you connect that E-reader to your PC, and you need Flash Player on the PC?
Do you know if your Vista is 32-bit or 64-bit?
You mention ActiveX, so you must be using Internet Explorer. What version do you use, and is it the 32-bit edition or 64-bit edition (Help, About Internet Explorer should tell you that)?
On Internet Explorer 8 or 9, check Tools, Add-ons: do you see Shockwave Flash Object, and is it enabled?
On Internet Explorer 9, check Tools, ActiveX Filtering: is it enabled? (It must be disabled for Flash Player to function.)

I need To install Adobe Flash Player 9 for my iPad 2

I need To install Adobe Flash Player 9 for my iPad 2 or some thing like the flash player

Not as most people think of Flash on an iOS device, no. The new version of Flash Media Server just provides a single server platform for streaming video both in Flash and HTML5 content formats. It won't work for Flash apps which is what most people want. And it's not something the user can install for connecting to Flash content;the provider has to implement it.
It may, however, speed up the availability of content in HTML5 format since the provider doesn't have to run separate servers. And just FYI, it's not new. This version of Flash Media Server was released back in September.

I have a new mini ipad and need to install Adobe Flash Player on it in order to use certain items on the internet. Can Adobe Flash Player be installed an used on my ipad??

I have my first ipad. It is the mini version. I'm trying to go to certain sites on the internet that tell me I need to update or install Adobe Flash Player. When I try to down load Adobe Flash Player I get a message saying "this device does not support Adobe Flash Player". Can I not use Adobe Flash Player on my ipad like I do on my computers and my iphone???

You can't install flash player on your iPad, nor on your iPhone - it's not supported on iOS devices, and as Adobe have stopped development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites. Also some websites have their own apps in the App Store.

I need Help installing adobe Flash player please!

Hi,
So I have been stuck trying to download adobe flash player for quite a while because when I go onto youtube it says the flash is out of date. Here are all the different things I tried to get the download to work.
1)
First of all the adobe flash has been downloaded into my download folder. So when I click on it, the adobe installer pops up. I type in my password. Then the little screen appears to start downloading. However it abruptly stops; the window says "Installation encountered errors" "Error has been encountered. Close this window and try downloading again"
2)I find out I have to quit the safari application when downloading the adobe flash. So I quit safari and try downloading the Adobe flash. The Installation error pops up again. So I guess that must not be the problem.
My current flash version is 15.0.0
3) I check to make sure that the flash player is enabled by my Safari browser. I did notice that the help page is slightly different from my own computer.
I don't have the "Allow Java" plug in, and I don't know if thats something I need to install?
What else do I need to do to download the flash player
Thanks in advance

What kind of phone?

I need help with Adobe Flash Player, PLEASE!

I have been on multiple site trying to play games or watch videos (e.g. YouTube) and keep getting an error message saying I have to install Adobe Flash Player in order to play/view. I have done this multiple times and currently have Flash Player 11 ActiveX and Flash Player 11 Plugin. What more do I need to do because it still won't let me watch the video or play the games!
PLEASE HELP ME!
Additional info: I just wound up downloading Google Chrome (but don't like it) and don't have the same problem. So, it's only happening when I am trying to do all this on Internet Explorer 9.

Hi eg, If you have Windows 7 the new one, then you have IE8 since it comes with it. We are only working on this one computer, right?
First of all you must be the Administrator in order to Install Flash Player, are you? You need to use that account.
Download this Flash Player Uninstaller to your Desktop:

Download this Flash Player Installer for Internet Explorer to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Close all browsers, you only want to be looking at your Desktop. Check your system tray(the area by the clock) and disable any applications like messenger, etc. You don't want any applications there that use Flash.
Run the Uninstaller and when it is finished, restart your computer. Wait until it is completely restarted, then restart it again. When it is completely restarted, then Run the Installer. When that is finished, restart Once.
Then go to this site to test :http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

Every time need to reinstall Adobe Flash Player

Hi All,
When I start my laptop and goe to any website, it is asking me to install flash player. Many times I have uninstalled and reinstalled it but every time it is asking me to install adobe flash player. I am using internet explorer as browser and windows 7 operating system. As per one post I have completed the below activity. Still I am not successful.
We're working on addressing these issues with our installers, but in the meantime these issues can be fixed using the following steps:
1. Install Flash Player
2. Download the SubInACL Installer from Microsoft
3. Install SubInACL and note the install location
4. Download the attached "reset_fp11.bat.zip" file and extract it to the SubInACL folder from the previous step. At this point, subinacl.exe and reset_fp11.bat will be in the same folder. Please note that you might not see the file extensions unless you've made them visible.
5. If you are on Vista or Windows 7, right click "reset_fp11.bat" and select "Run as Administrator". If you are on XP, please make sure you are using an Administrator level account before double clicking.
6. You'll see a window appear and text go by, this should only take a few seconds to complete.
7. If you were unable to install Flash Player in step 1, do so now.
8. Restart your computer and verify that Flash is working correctly.
