I updated yesterday so why does this verison (9.0.1) freeze in the middle of typing, or basically doing anything when NOTHING I am doing requires Adobe Flash Player?

I updated yesterday to version 9.0.1. Each version has progressively gotten worse since updating from approx. version 5. This is the worst. Every minute, there is a lag where Firefox does not type if I am typing; videos freeze if I am watching something and the cursor does not click if I want to click on something. This happens regardless of what I am doing, even if I am just typing with nothing else playing or going on in the background.

Your extensions list shows an enabled "Torbutton 1.2.5" extension, so it is possible that that extension is responsible for that change.

If the center portion of the monitor is flickering then your GPU on the logic is bad or (unlikely given this symptom) that your monitor cable is pinched/damaged.
**Imediately backup ALL your important data while you can still see things on the monitor
Contact Apple for appt. for in shop diagnostics for full examination and for parts replacement
nobody can give you a cost on a repair that isnt fully diagnosed online and cannot be.
perform SMC reset just to check:
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

I am trying to use sites on the internet which require Adobe Flash Player, but when I click on the free download, it says that Apple does not support this application, so I cannot use it. This stops me viewing quite a few interesting things. Any ideas?

I am trying to use sites on the internet which require Adobe Flash Player, and when I click for a free download it says that "it is not available for your device because of restrictions that Apple has put in place". Any suggestions on how to overcome this?

Flash is not, and probably never will be, supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus it would be up to Adobe to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, something which they have never managed to do and which they have now given up on trying to do.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so your could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app).

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.

Hello Jm23ur,
After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing performance issues with your device. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,

Is there an app that will play this. I can't find one....

Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping 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, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news and media sites, have their own apps in the App Store.

Why does Firefox list of plugins show "Shockwave Flash" when what is installed is really Adobe Flash Player; they are different .

Adobe; various websites; and now seemingly Firefox seem to continually confuse and obscure things regarding the two different Adobe Players (Adobe Flash Player AFP and Adobe Shockwave Player ASP). According to this security alert web article ASP is far less secure than AFP which itself isn't great. The article http://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/05/why-you-should-ditch-adobe-shockwave/ indicates:
Mozilla Firefox users should note that the presence of the “Shockwave Flash” plugin listed in the Firefox Add-ons section denotes an installation of Adobe Flash Player plugin — not Adobe Shockwave Player.
==========
My Firefox is working, but this confusion of calling things by their proper (or at least a unique name) seems crazy to me. If this is accurate can someone get Firefox to name things correctly, AND if article is accurate let this be a warning to others that they NOT use ASP, but as needed rely on AFP. There are Adobe test pages for each so you want to make sure that AFP succeeds and the other ASP fails to play.

hello, "Adobe Flash Player" and "Shockwave Flash" are the same thing - the latter is the technical term of the plugin that adobe kept for compatibility reasons after it acquired the technology from another company (macromedia)...

Many downloads require adobe flash player,apple does not support. What options do I have?

Does Apple have an alternative program to run to support Adobe Flash Player? There are many times I want to download or view something but I can't because Apple does not accept Adobe.

Apple does accept Adobe Flash (I have it on my Mac), but it does not exist for iOS devices.
Read this for the story: Thoughts on Flash
There are a few apps on the AppStore that allow you to view some Flash video content, although the results are variable.

- Try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Next try letting the battery fully drain. After charging for a least an hour try again
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store, it appears you have a hardware problem.

Adobe Flash Player Update crash

"Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem ..."
I'm trying to answer this question, but don't know how to do it. So I'm starting new discussion.
I’ve had this problem for over a month and have reinstalled adobe flash player multiple times.
But now, I think I finally have the answer.
My tech downloaded the adobe flash player “installer” today.
But I think the key is to
1) start / run,
2) enter “services.msc,
3) go to adobe flash player update services
4) right click to get to properties
5) change startup type to ‘Automatic” and service status to “Stopped”.

I stumbled upon something that worked although I don't know why the two items are related. I was resetting FireFox in another attempt to get the latest Flash player to work and noticed that my Java Console was disabled. I don't remember ever disabling it but I turned it back on and suddenly, the Flash player stopped crashing.
Maybe this will help someone else.

Just got firefox yesterday, can load Adobe Flash Player, please help

Just got Firefox yesterday. This morn I tried to "Listen Live" or "Live Stream" from a radio station. It said I need to download Adobe Flash Player. It won't let me download it. Can you help please,
Thank You

This may not be a Firefox problem as such. It may well be that you do not have administrative rights to install FlashPlayer, or for some reason security software is causing a problem. Exactly what do you mean by ''It won't let me download it.'' possibly any error or warning messages you get will be meaningful; what are they ?
See
* [[Managing the Flash plugin]]
Presumably you could use Internet Explorer, does that work with the radio stations ? <br/> note IR & Firefox are likely to need separate installs of flash Player, and certainly you will need to test each browser separately for flash Player functionality.

ADOBE FLASH PLAYER DOES NOT show up on add-ons and even though i install it on my computer it doesn't sync with Firefox to play movies

Vudu requires Adobe Flash Player for movies and gives me an error message saying that I need to update to the newest version and gives a link. When i follow the link and install the newest version I still get the same message. I checked add-ons Firefox and Adobe Flash Player doesn't show up as an available add-on or plug-in. What is the problem?

Your system details list doesn't show that the Shockwave Flash plugin is installed and enabled.
If you have the Shockwave Flash plugin installed then make sure that it is enabled.
*Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins
You can check the version of the current Flash player here:
*http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page:

I can't download/install Adobe Flash Player update version 11.7.700.169.

I have tried several times to download and install Adobe Flash Player update version 11.7.700.169 without success. My OS is Windows XP with SP3 and my web browser is Internet Explorer. My current Adobe Flash Player version is 11.6.602.180. In the Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player IE window I unchecked the checkbox "Yes, install Chrome as my default browser and Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer - optional" and clicked [UpdateNow]. Then I followed the installation instuctions. When I tried to run the installer I got an Internet Explorer Script Error dialog box.
I then clicked yes on the Scrippt Error dialog box and it closed. The new version did not install. I still have the old version.
What am I doing wrong?

Download and run the offline installer(s) from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header (under the heading Progress bar hangs...).

I updated yesterday so why does this verison (9.0.1) freeze in the middle of typing, or basically doing anything when NOTHING I am doing requires Adobe Flash Player?
