I repeatedly install Flash 11 only to be told I need to install it to view video

After apparently successfully installing Flash 11, when I try to view video I receive a message that I need to install Flash 11. I have uninstalled Flash 11 and tried again with the same results. Shutting down the computer and trying again has not helped. My computer meets the requirements for Flash 11.

Please don't post the same question multiple times!

Flash Player only stays installed for one use

I am using a Mac G4 Dual 1.25ghz MDD with OS 10.4.10 and both
Safari 2.0.4 and Firefox 2.0.0.6 Browsers. I install Flash Player 9
OSX, then the Browser works fine. I quit the Browser, relaunch it
and any file requiring Flash Player displays as a Quicktime Q
symbol with a Question Mark superimposed it. I have to install
Flash Player before each use of either browser to be able to view
files requiring flash player. The problem does not exist with
Internet Explorer 5.2. Any Suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks
ahead of time.

Problem still exists on both Firefox and Safari, but not on
Explorer. I have done restarts, re-installs of Flash, Permissions
repairs. Nothing I have tried so far seems to be permanent. I have
the install flash player on my desk top. I re-install to start up
my default browser. It will work until I close the browser, then
not work when I re-open it.

Repeated successful flash 11 download, still not working

Hello,
I have spent the last couple of weeks trying to download the new flash player version (11.5.502.110 - I have IE9 on Windows 7 computer).
I have lost track of how many times I have downloaded this - every time, it downloads successfully (and I get the congratulations, your download was successful message). Every time, I test the download by clicking straight onto a flash-using page, where everything works, and then go to the Adobe page that tests which version you have installed, where it tells me I have the correct version installed.
However, once I close my browser/computer down, the next time I use the internet and visit flash-using sites, I am told I don't have the latest version installed. If I go to the Adobe page that tests which version you have, I see the blank box telling me I don't have flash player installed. In the Control Panel, under Programs, Flash player 11 appears in the list as an option to uninstall, and it also appears as Enabled in my Internet Options Add-On manager, but I cannot find any 'flash player' files/folders saved in my hard drive.
I have tried all the options on the Adobe help page for installation issues, I have uninstalled and installed numerous times, and I have trawled through the help forum, to no avail.
I would appreciate if someone could please help me with this..
Thank you!

Hello,
My apologies for not replying sooner - I have been on holidays.
Thank you for the ideas...unfortunately, I still have had no luck. I checked the contents of the flash folder before and after installation and upon restart, and all files were the same. I also created a new temp user account and it was the same story - once I logged in on the other account, flash player was not recognised in IE, even though I had just installed it on my own user account and it had been succesful and recognised etc.
So I have no idea what the problem is - I'm not really tech-savvy, and I've tried all the basic things I know, with no luck. I'm not a huge flash user, so I can get by without it most of the time. The only major inconvenience for me is using up my download credit every time I have to reinstall it when I DO want to use it!
I've been reading through other posts on the forum, and it seems a lot of others are having similar issues with this version player - I hope that Adobe can figure out a solution for us all soon
Thanks for trying to help, I appreciate the responses.

HT2506 After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer

After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer anymore. Any ideas would be helpful thanks

Merely clicking the Preview icon in the Dock doesn't cause it to open anything, unless you had one or more windows open the last time it quit.
If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
3. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
4. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

Flash Player only works for the account that downloaded it

I downloaded flash player and did not specify any special preferences, however, it doesn't work for the 2 other accounts on the computer. It only runs for the Administrator account from which i downloaded it. I'm running XP professional. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

hi, i had already deleted cookies, temp internet files, etc;
i only have the IE pop up blocker and blocking level set at Medium;
it's the latest version of FP 10.0.45.2.
I installed this version a couple of weeks ago and it worked ok for all accounts (the other 2 accounts are not admin) for a week. Then, it stopped working for all accounts, i reinstalled it (some trial and error involved), then when it finally reinstalled, only works for the one account. i just tried to reinstall from one of the other accounts and error mssg said "failed to register"

Subject: Flash Player only works for the account that downloaded it
Hi ol, I would go to Tools, click on Internet Options and clear the Temp files. Delete Cookies, Delete Files, including the off line content. I would do this using all accounts. Also check the history files while you are there and delete those also unless you have done so recently.
What version of Flash Player do you have Installed?
Do you use any adblock or pop up blocker software?
Thanks,

Repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the menu bar, quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
If that didn't help, install the v10.5.8 combo update.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select
/var/log ▹ install.log
from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.

HT202681 Is Flash Player only for Safari? Do I need Flash Player for Firefox?

Is Flash Player only for Safari? Do I need Flash Player for Firefox?

A Flash tip to help avoid security issues later: There are known scammer who fake a "Flash is out of date" pop-up that leads you to a site that installs malware or can compromise your private data. If you see a pop-up in FF saying you need to upgrade Flash, the only safe thing to do is go to this official Adobe site:
https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
and follow the downloads instructions there. It will show the currently available version. You can quickly tell what version is on your computer by doing System Preference > Flash Player and selecting the "Updates" tab.
Do NOT choose to update Flash from any pop-up. Here are several articles with more info on the "Fake Flash" issue:
http://www.thesafemac.com/?s=flash&submit=Search
Fake Flash pop-ups commonly contain grammatical or spelling errors. One common one is "Failure to install this update may cause your computer to crush." Using only the official Adobe site I linked plus checking your current version via System Preferences will avoid your having to figure out if a pop-up is fake.

Choppy video on certain sites/flash players only

I bought an Acer laptop just this week. I've been having issues with video appearing rather choppy, as if looking at a poorly done animated gif. It's not constant, only on certain websites. For example I can watch a video on YouTube as smooth as cable tv but if I try to watch a video on Failblog.org I encounter very choppy video. At first I thought it was perhaps the quality of videos themself on these other sites, so i checked them out on my desktop and they play just fine. I tried disabling hardware accelleration, encounter the problem in both Chrome and IE, and have made sure I'm using the most recent version of flash. I'll post information below regarding my system and flash installation.
System:
Acer Aspire Laptop Model # 7741Z-4643
Processor: Intel Pentium CPU p6100 @ 2.00GHz 2.00GHz(DUAL CORE) with 3MB L3 Cache
Installed memory and storage: 3.00 GB DDR3 SDRAM and 250 GB HD with 189 GB free space
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics Dynamic Video Memory Technology 5.0
System Type: 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium
Network: Wireless 802.11b/g/n
Flash:
In Google Chrome it states "You have version 10,2,154,12 installed"
In Internet Explorer it states "You have version 10,2,152,26 installed"
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well from the control panel > programs > uninstall. The logo on your test/version page plays fine.
Protection:
Malware: Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
Virus: AVG
I've disabled AVG from running in the background and on startup due to conflicts with malwarebytes and general resource hog issues I've had with it in the past. I've last scanned this morning and came up with no infections with both programs. Both have been updated to the latest libraries available for detection.
Any help I can get would be great and I apprecciate your time.

Hold down the Option key while you boot your Mac. Then, it should show you a selection of devices. Click your flash drive and it will boot from that.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?

I was using "remote" with a D-link modem, that works fine at my iPad. But now I´m using only the cell phone as modem 3G, and don´t want to intall a router to put new cables at my notebook.

What?
You want to control iTunes on your computer using the Remote app on your iPad?
And you want to connect the iPad and computer through your Nokia?
No, this will not work.
Just create a network with your notebook.

In Firefox 4, how do I change the order of plugins on the Add-ons Plugins manager page (I turn Shockwave Flash on only to see videos - having it off prevents screen freezing - and so I want it stay at the top of the list)?

Hit Ctrl+0 (That's a zero, by the way). I'm not sure if it will work, but hey, that's the first thing I would try.
