I want to use VLC for default video playiong instead of Adobe Flash, please send instructions for wiondows 7 home professional.

I am tired of constantly being required to install a new update for Adobe Flash player which ALWAYS includes a marketing program embedded in the download, for Google Chrome, or McAfee or Malware or some other junk I do not want.
Instead I would like to migrate away from Adobe Flash and instead utilize VLC as my default media player, but when I go to my Control Panel set defaults VLC is not included. I have found "instructions" on line to add VLC to the Control Panel list, but you would HAVE to be a programming specialist to wade through the basic machine code and effectively achieve upload to the Control Panel Default Option list.
I figure I cannot be the only customer afflicted by this marketing ploy by Adobe Flash....over the last few months....and I prefer Firefox....so I figure you must have other customers writing to you. I simply want to dump Adobe Flash. If enough people dump them, then maybe they will abandon this marketing crap.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Please send instructions for correct way to UNINSTALL Firefox 5.0 and REINSTALL Firefox 3.6.3 and preserve all my cookies and bookmarks. DPGannon at sbcglobal dot net

    Very simple: I do NOT want to use Firefox 5.0. I did not intend for it to be installed on this computer and need to get rid of it and go back to Firefox 3.6.3. Please send instructions on how I can do that without loosing my cookies and bookmarks.
    I have been a fan and supporter of Mozilla and Firefox from the very beginning, but this latest release that appears to be a way to look like Google Chrome (that I hate) has me just about ready to hold my nose and go back to IE.
    What were you guys thinking?????
    Thank you.

    Install the following Add-on until Google releases a new version of their toolbar that is compatible with Firefox 5. Google needs to test their toolbar with Firefox 5 and change one line in their code to make it compatilbe. Most Add-ons that worked with Firefox 4 should still work with Firefox 5, but the developers need to update a line in their Add-on's code to indicate with which versions of Firefox the Add-on is compatible. The following Add-on adds a "Compatibility" button in your Add-ons > Extensions that you may need to click after installing it and restarting Firefox.

  • I want to use my webcam on Facebook but cannot find adobe flash, anyone know how I get it ?

    I want to use my webcam on my ipad for video calls on facebook. Facebook asks me to get adobe flash but I cannot find it for ipad can anyone tell me how to get it ?

    There is no Flash for the iPad. Some folks use apps such as Skyfire, which offer access to Flash through remote servers, but it's capacity is limited. You might be able to use video calls on the Facebook app for iPad.

  • You Tube not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after latest update

    You Tube and other sites are not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after latest update for both. Adobe Flash is working on other sites but not You tube and those sites that may have embedded You Tube videos, I'm not sure.
    Adobe Flash does not crash and no error message is showing. All that shows is a dark screen for the Flash video. Right clicking the screen shows only a non-clickable 'Movie not loaded' and the clickable link to the Adobe home page.
    I have spent an hour trying things as suggested for past problems similar to this but none have helped.
    I have sent sad face letting you know what I think of the latest update because of this which says pretty much the same thing as I have said here.
    I have no further info but if I had some input and queries form you I might be able to provide more.

    I'm not sure how to remove the 12.xxx version,. I don't understand why it is there, usually updates over wirte the old one as far as I know. I don't know where to find it.
    pref .js deleted.
    I could not find a user.js
    I disabled hardware acceleration on one of them, not sure which and I don't remember how I did it but think it must have been on the flash.
    No idea what protected mode is
    no new profile, I've never done this.
    Ok, did what you have said as much as I could. I have been fidgeting with things now for a couple hours. After doing a CCleaner and Registry cleanse, turning off and restarting the computer, the videos are now p-laying.
    I would still like to know how to find and get rid of the duplicate Flash plug in though if you would't mind.
    Thanks for the help.

  • I have tried to change my User id which is an email address I no longer want to use. Now I am constantly getting requests from icloud and Apple ID for my password and cant get into my icloud account.

    I have tried to change my User id which is an email address I no longer want to use. Now I am constantly getting requests from icloud and Apple ID for my password and cant get into my icloud account.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I want an alternative to Adobe flash player plug-in for my Windows 8 computer 64 bit

    can you recommend an alternative to Adobe flash player plug-in for my Windows 8 computer 64 bit

    Mozilla is currently developing an open standards-based Flash renderer called Shumway.
    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/Shumway
    Available as an extension [http://mozilla.github.io/shumway/extension/firefox/shumway.xpi here]. ''< click to launch the add-on installer.''
    ''It seems to work fine on YouTube videos in the Firefox 31 release version, although it is somewhat CPU intensive.''
    And also available in the Nightly development versions.
    http://nightly.mozilla.org/
    Feel free to try it out, but make sure you install it into its' own Program Files folderset and make sure you create a unique Profile for use only with Nightly. If the same Profile is used with both Release and pre-release versions problems sometimes arise after switching back and forth between different versions of Firefox. Basically, Nightly is like 18 weeks ''(at a minimum)'' removed from becoming a release version, but some projects stay on Nightly for a longer time as they are being developed. That happens to provide as many user / testers as possible, by not resorting to a separate development trunk version.

    There is no "flash player similar to Adobe Flash Player". Flash is a proprietary Adobe product. There is currently no version of Flash for iOS.

    Yeah, me too, am running 64 bit LinuxMint 16, I have tried Firefox and Chrome and tried to download any/all of the Linux variants but nothing happens, I have allowed pop ups and disabled security, still nothing. I have tried downloading any/all of the linux versions onto my Asus ROG laptop running windows 8 and do a file transfer - still nothing. So I have to conclude the page is broken ?? Pretty poor really.

  • Where can I get the lastest Adobe Flash Player (version 10) for my Dual 1.8GHz PowerPC G5?

    Can someone tell me how to get the lastest Adobe Flash Player (version 10) for an Apple PowerPC G5 computer with OS 10.5.8?

    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • Adobe Flash Player 10 Fix for WinXP and Vista, IE7, IE8, Firefox, ect.(New Fast Fix)

    (This is a possible solution for most users) I have found that inside the folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash (WinXP Home/Pro) (Computer > C: Drive > Windows > System32 > Macromed > Flash for Vista) there should be a file named FlashUtil10b.exe (IF NOT YOU SHOULD UPDATE AS SPECIFIED!) (or FlashUtil10a.exe or for older versions something similar depending on your version), which is the update utility for flash player. Click on this and if it updates, you will have to restart your computer. This should fix any missing files, and update you to the latest version.
    On a side note to all those who read this, I downloaded and installed 5 different times, the same version, from different websites, all for the "new" flash version, and they didn't work (this also included trying to update Shockwave player itself). Apparently, going directly to the website and downloading a new version of Adobe Flash Player, and installing, doesn't uninstall the older version, (though it says it does nor does the uninstaller work directly from the website) nor fixes the problem. I assume they are aware of this problem, because they included this bug fix in revision 10b. This fix should work for those of you whom cannot view/see flash images as well. There also appears to be a bug/reference problem with the installation of IE8 giving the error "Missing Shockwave Decompression XTRA", when trying to play a Shockwave/Flash file, which seems also to affect Firefox and other browsers. It doesn't recognize that the folder or files that it needs in it, exist. I never had his problem before, until IE8 was installed. I checked which version I had in the system32 folder and found this updater built in to Adobe. Version 10a does NOT automatically update, but version 10b includes this fix. I currently had version 10a when I received this error, and began digging for a solution. Doing the update as described above fixed the problem, and updated it to version 10b.
    The new flash version 10b has some new features, such as volume control, auto-updating, and several rendering options for those who may have a faster or slower computer/video card.
    I found this works great for XP users but unsure of the Vista users. The process is the same  for Vista and the update should still work the same, as long as you run it as Administrator, I assume. I have this also posted on wwwdslreports.com at http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22115254-IE-IE8-and-Adobe-Flash-Question and here http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22361930-Adobe-Flash-Player-10-Fix-for-WinXP-IE 8-Firefox-ect. It appears to work for everyone so far. I have not heard of any problems from users with this problem running the RC (Release Canidate) for Windows 7 yet.
    I hope this works to your benefit.
    Please leave a reply to help Adobe and other users know if this fix worked for you or not. If not, please explain what you did, and the effects your seeing, including operating system, site of the flash file trying to view, browser type (ex. IE6, IE7, IE8, Firefox, Opera, ect.), and I will try to help you as best I can.
    (I would strongly recommend those not using IE8, or Firefox 3.5, get the updated versions)
    If your looking for uninstallers go to this site: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    If your looking for a true full install, you can download this developer version for Windows and Mac: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/10/flash_player_update2_flash10.zi p (44MB) (If you download this, I would recommend you still follow my instructions for the Flash Utility before restarting your computer.)

    I would recommend all users having problems try the above solution first.
    I have posted this on a couple of websites, and so far it has fixed everyones problems.
    Firefox 3.5 Beta 4 has Adobe Flash Player coding built into the browser so that it not only loads faster but works better.
    You still need to have the Adobe ActiveX plug-in and Adobe Flash Player for both browsers.
    I would also recommend you download Shockwave Player 11.
    IE8 has tried this as well, but it still has a couple bugs in it.
    If you have IE8 or FireFox 3.5 Beta 4, and you are still having problems, then I recommend that you go to www.windowsupdate.com and get all of the latest updates (including SP3), then try this fix again.
    Your auto-updater built into windows (If you even have it on) doesn't always pull down every update available for your computer. It only pulls down the manditory ones.
    Sometimes you HAVE to go to the website and manually get them yourself. I recommend when you go to the website, you click on custom install and pick every last one of them to install, which includes, hardware and software fixes for your computer.
    What a lot of people don't know is that when you have installed and tried all of the recommended fixes that Adobe gives you, and it still doesn't work, is that you are having registry conflicts within your Operating System (OS ex. WinXP, Vista, Linux, ect.), and that it is not the Adobe software at all.
    Those are usually repaired by making sure your computer stays up to date.
    The fact is the computer world is changing so rapidly that everyone can't keep up. You have to check for updates weekly.
    If you fall behind on those updates, then you start having problems with your computer and/or software.
    One problem then can turn into many and people get frustrated when something all the sudden just quits working.
    Take a day or two at least once a month, and make sure you update and maintain your computer.
    This includes disk defragmenting, disk cleanup, and making sure you have all the lastest updates.
    You can get to Disk Defrag, and Disk Cleanup by going to Start, All Programs, Accessories, then to System Tools.
    I would do Disk Cleanup first, then Defrag.
    I hope you take this advise into consideration, and that it is very helpful for you.
    If you find this useful, please come back and reply to this forum, and let everyone know so that others will be encouraged to do this.
    Thanks and goodluck, from another user like you.
