IE7 Flash not working in Vista - Work Around

Thought that I'd pass this on as it may help some people.
It's a less than ideal solution, but it may be a work around until
someone comes up with a better solution.
I've been having problems running Flash (in particular
http://www.afl.com.au/) and have
tried uninstalling and confirming all files are removed in
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash, as well as the registry updates
that you may have read in other postings here. None of these have
worked for me...
I found right mouse clicking on the IE7 shortcut and choosing
the "Run as administrator" then going to the site in question all
was fine... it works!!!
I'm not totally sure whether this is a Flash issue, though
the web site advises that it is. BTW my account does have
administrative privileges.
Hope this may help...

Another alternative to the above...
Note: For the above solution you'll need to do this everytime
you open up the browser if you're planing on running flash. If you
get sick of this you can right mouse click on the IE icon and
choose "properties" and "advance" and check the "Run as
administrator" checkbox. The issue then is Vista's UAC will pop-up
everytime you open IE. Again not a nice solution.
I hope Adobe fix this shortly.

Why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

Flash not working in Safari 5

Flash has been buggy for me in Safari 5, ever since I updated the Flash player last week to "10.1 r53". Either Flash files don't play at all, or just the audio plays without video.
Per the instructions on these boards, I have:
1. reset Safari
2. uninstalled flash player
3. installed the flash player
4. repaired permissions
5. restarted
The issue is still there. Firefox plays Flash files, YouTube, etc. just fine. Safari does not.
I'm running SL 10.6.4, latest Software Updates.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I created a new account. Flash works in the new account. That's cool, but I really don't want to re-locate all my prefs, etc., just for a buggy plugin.
So, I next...
1. grabbed the Safari plist from the new account
2. logged out of the new account
3. logged into the old account (where Flash does not work)
4. moved the old account's com.apple.safari plist file out of the Preferences folder
5. moved the clean Safari plist file (from the new account) into the Preferences folder
6. reset and restarted Safari
7. Flash worked...for about two minutes. I tested on YouTube, Vimeo and Google Analytics. Back to Flash not working in Safari.
I then tried repeating the earlier steps.
1. reset Safari
2. uninstall flash player
3. install flash player
4. repaired permissions
5. restarted
Still doesn't work.
Just one other thing to note: whenever I pull up a web page with Flash, I get a "file not found" error in Safari's activity monitor (link is below)...could this be an error with Adobe's website rather than a Safari-permission thing?

Slider not working around 50% of the time.

Hello,
Slider not working around 50% of the time when I get a call. I hit the sleep button and home button several times and then it works.
I've done the soft reset several times. I've restored settings completely 2 times.
the screen is clean, my hands are clean, the wifi is off, the phone has not been dropped, it only happens when receiving a call and never happens when I'm just turing it on to access the menu. Bluetooth is off as well.
Any ideas?

this happened to me a week or so after buying my iPhone. Fixed it with a reboot... Simul holding home and on/off until apple appears on the screen . Been working for axweek ok now.

Flash not working in photo booth.

The flash in photo booth on my iMac is not working. When I take a pic, the screen flashes but the pic is still dark. Was working fine yesterday. I did install the latest osx today. That's the only changes since then.

In case anyone is interested in your screen flash not working in the Yosemite or Maverick photo booth application, I finally called Apple today and he kept insisting it was working on his - I asked him to take a pic with the screen flash enabled and then disable it and he said it came out the same. And rationalized that it was because he was in a well lit room. I kept telling him in my old photo booth from system 10.6.8 that my face was lit up and my husband had reflections from his glasses so we went from him wanting me to reinstall my software (I refused since both computers were having the same problem - one using Yosemite and the other using Maverick) to him finally going into HIS partitioned disk that has system 10.6.8 on it to discover that the flash there reflected off HIS glasses too. Bottom line is he admitted there has to be some flaw that prevented the photo booth flash from working for Maverick and Yosemite. Whew, finally validation!

Flash is totally unrelated to Java, so what you're saying is that certain plugins are not working under Safari of which one just happens to be Java. You're the second one I see make mention of that, but the fact remains that you'd need to ask Apple what is going on with their browser.

Photo Booth flash not working in Maverick or Yosemite

I have noticed that the photo booth flash in Maverick on my Macbook Pro and in Yosemite on my iMac is not working Screen flash is enabled on both.
So this is happening on two different computers. Does anyone know how to fix this? All my photos are so dark on both of my computers using Maverick and Macbook Pro.
It works fine on system 10.6.8 though.
Has anyone else had this problem too?

IPhone 4 battery draining + flash not working

I've had my phone since February 2011, and haven't had any problems up until today. The flash no longer works, I've attempted taking pictures and using flashlight apps, but it's not working whatsoever. And yesterday, the battery started draining like crazy out of nowhere. I fully charged it before unplugging for the night, and by the time I woke up it was completely dead. My phone is usually my alarm, so I was lucky to wake on time. I fully charged it tonight after it drained again, and it's already at 78% just a few hours later and no use. My phone has been opened before, but not fiddled around with at all. Any ideas of what could be causing this, I appreciate!

Just an update - this ended up not fixing my problem. The battery is still draining.
On a side note - I actually left my phone charging overnight and the alarm did not go off this morning because the phone was mysteriously shut off during the night. It hasn't done this in 3 years but did the night of the iOS upgrade yesterday.

Flash not working on Windows 8.1

My flash player is not working on windows 8.1 (64g) with internet explorer. I have troubleshooted several times, and active x filtering is not checked off in the safety tab under settings and under manage add-ons shockwave flash is enabled. These are the only things that I can do to get it enabled according to the adobe website. What else can I do to make flash work on windows 8 in internet explorer?

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Java and Flash not working ONLY in Safari

Ok, so Java and flash stopped working in Safari on my 10.6.8 system. It seems a recent update caused a problem and all of the normal items I have gone through have made it worse or not helped.
Java is not working in Safari (My account or guest account)
     http://javatester.org/version.html    Error "attempted to load Java content, but Java is unavailable or not installed."
     http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp " attempted to load Java content, but Java is unavailable or not installed."
     http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ Error "Missing plugin"
     Flash tests just say missing plugin
Java DOES work in Chrome and Firefox
     http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp
          Java SE 6 Update 31
          Flash - 11,2,202,235 installed
Able to use apps and other items online that are not working in Safari.
Have downloaded and installed the following and done the following
     Ran software update
     Verified Java and Java Script are enabled via Safari > Preferences > Security
     Re-installed Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 8
     Reinstalled current version of flash
     Looked around and deleted all plist, and java folders in library locations (user and main system)
     Cleared out metadata folders
     Reset Safari several times
     Java Preferences
          Cleared all cache
          Made sure no old versions there (2 entereis)
          Reset all defaults
          Removed any blocked items
Current Java version per terminal
java -version
java version "1.6.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_31-b04-415-10M3646)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.6-b01-415, mixed mode)
So - Java is up and working - works in Chrome and Firefox. Have reinstalled both from current versions. Reset all browser cache. Issue follows Safari. Normally installing these and trying again works. I do not know what other things to reset or clear out.

Yes, I got distracted for a moment with something, came back and I didn't finish reading the OP's original post, I have since edited mine.
BTW, the Mozilla plug-in checker is basically useless for Safari users, since have of those I have have no status, but work in Safari:
I don't know the causes for the "Research" one's, why there isn't a link or why it doesn't update the checker,
But at least it's infomative, as vulnerable plug-ins are responsible for MacDefender and Flashback malware attacks.
Someone with a lot of plug-ins should be running Firefox and NoScript, as your very exposed to multiple attack vectors from any of those plug-ins, which is the purpose of the web site, to get the word out about outdated plug-ins with potential security issues.

Google Maps API for flash not working on real device iPad

I use flash builder 4.5.1 to build app for Google Maps API for iOS (map_flex_1_20.swc), and it is working well even on the simulator on PC, but after I generate the IPA use FB4.5.1, and install on iPad , it not working at all, only show a while screen.(I used the TabbedViewNavigatorApplication, the botton Tabbar is working, I can switch the page, but on the maps page show nothing)
I also try the code on Flash CS5.5 using map_1_20.swc , when on the PC debug, it works well,(swf files), but install the AIR ipa on the iPAD, show nothing only a white sceeen.
anyone met this problem?

You can also use the MapQuest Mobile Flash Maps API. It's supported by MapQuest and does not need any work-arounds in order to work with the Flash Platform. It also takes advantage of the "build once, deploy anywhere" functionality in Flex 4.5+. MapQuest provides a demo app for Android and iOS and has the source code available for download, too.

Flash not working, have reinstalled adobe flash latest version but still just get a blank white space where vid should be, what do I do

This has just suddenly happened, I don't know what to do to get it back working again.

I also have this issue, I have tried disabling the new protection feature and it has had no effect, flash video's and applications are not working.
Update: Flash appears to be working according to this page from Adobe
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
However videos from youtube, facebook basically all flash video's are not working, Some flash applications like browser games are not working as well.
Flash version : 11.3.300.257
OS: Windows Vista (32-bit)
Browser: Firefox
Update 2: I reset firefox and seems to have corrected the problem for me.

Anyone have new information on what to do about Flash not working on Mac pc's?

I read all of this thread and wondered if anyone has made any progress along these questions?

Work arounds? Anything useful would be really appreciated.

The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
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.

HDS live streaming to Flash not working

Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5.5 r4013
Windows 2008
Sources:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSd391de4d9c7bd609-52e437a812a3725df a0-8000.html
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/adobe-media-server/articles/live-multi-bitrate-video-http-flas h-ios.html
Live streaming a single or multi-bitrate video over HTTP to Flash does not work. I have followed the instructions on the 2 sources listed above repeatedly, but I can’t get live streaming over HTTP to Flash to work. Live streaming to iOS over HTTP works with no problems (single and multi-bitrate streams).
I have tried the troubleshooting steps from the following:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WS0432746db30523c21e63e3d12efac195bd -8000.html
Troubleshoot live streaming (HTTP)
1. Services window (Windows): Flash Media Server (FMS), Flash Media Administration Server, and FMSHttpd services are running. ✓
2. Verified that the request URL is correct. ✓
3. Configured ports:
a. Configure Apache to use port 80. Open rootinstall/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf in a text editor. Change the line Listen 8134 to Listen 80.
b. Configure Flash Media Server not to use port 80. Open rootinstall/conf/fms.ini in a text editor. Remove 80 from the ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT parameter so the parameter looks like the following: ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = :1935 ✓
4. Placed a crossdomain.xml file to the rootinstall/webroot directory. ✓
5. In Flash Media Live Encoder, select the Encoding Options tab, choose Output from the Panel options menu, and verify the following:
a) The value of FMS URL is rtmp://fms-dns-or-ip/livepkgr. If you’re testing on the same server as Flash Media Server, you can use the value localhost for fms-dns-or-ip. ✓
b) For a single stream, the value of Stream is livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent. ✓
c) For adaptive bitrate streaming, the value of Stream is livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent. ✓
Flash Media Live Encoder uses this value to create unique stream names. To use another encoder, provide your own unique stream names, for example, livestream1?adbe-live-event=liveevent, livestream2?adbe-live-event=liveevent.
The encoder is showing all 3 streams being published and streaming.
6. Check Administration Console: the livepkgr application and the 3 streams are running. ✓
7. Check the logs for errors. Flash Media Server logs are located in the rootinstall/logs folder. The master.xx.log file and the core.xx.log file show startup failures. Apache logs are located in the rootinstall/Apache2.2/logs folder. X
a) core00.log: these errors did not occur every time that I tried playing the live stream but these are the only relevant errors in the logs.
1. 7968 (w)2611179 Warning from libf4f.dll: [Utils] [livestream2] Discarded all queued Media Messages received before first Video Keyframe Message
2. 7968 (w)2611179 Warning from libf4f.dll: [Utils] [livestream3] Discarded all queued Media Messages received before first Video Keyframe Message
b) edge00.log:
13:33:57 4492 (w)2641213 Connection rejected by server. Reason : [ Server.Reject ] : (_defaultRoot_, _defaultVHost_) : Application (hds-live) is not defined. -
c) Apache-Error:
1. [warn] Checking if stream is disabled but bootstrap path in event file is empty for event:livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent stream name:livestream
2. [warn] bootstrap path is in event file is empty for event:livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent stream name:livestream1
As I mentioned, everything works on iOS and FMS seems to be creating all of the stream segments and meta files:
a. The 3 streams are being created in: HD:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4.5\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_
b. FMS is creating the following files in each stream folder (livestream1, livestream2, livestream 3):
1. livestream1.bootstrap
2. livestream1.control
3. livestream1.meta
4. .f4f segments
5. .f4x segments
The appropriate files are also being created in the HD:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4.5\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveevent folder, in which I have the following Manifest.xml and Event.xml files:
<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/1.0">
<media streamId="livestream1" bitrate="200" />
<media streamId="livestream2" bitrate="500" />
<media streamId="livestream3" bitrate="1000" />
</manifest>
<Event>
<EventID>liveevent</EventID>
<Recording>
<FragmentDuration>4000</FragmentDuration>
<SegmentDuration>16000</SegmentDuration>
 <DiskManagementDuration>3</DiskManagementDuration>
</Recording>
</Event>
I’ve tried clearing the contents of both streams\_definst_ and events\_definst_\liveevent (keeping the xml files) after restarting the encoder, and creating a different event definst for the streams (liveevent2 for example).
We have an event in 2 weeks that we would like to stream to both Flash and iOS. Any help in solving this problem will be greatly appreciated.

One step closer:
Changed the crossdomain.xml file (more permissive settings).
Changed the encoding on FMLE to vp6. Working somewhat (don't know what I did to make it start streaming through hds).
But at least now I can get the individual streams in the set manifest file to work:
http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/livevent/livestream1.f4m
http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/livevent/livestream2.f4m
http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/livevent/livestream3.f4m
BUT when I try to play the streams through the set manifest file from http://localhost/liveevent.f4m I'm getting the following error:
"The F4m document contains errors URL missing from Media tag." I'll search the forums to see if anyone else has come across this problem.
I used the f4m config tool to make the file. These are the file's contents:
<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/2.0">
<baseURL>http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/</baseURL>
<media href="livestream1.f4m " bitrate="200"/>
<media href="livestream2.f4m " bitrate="500"/>
<media href="livestream3.f4m " bitrate="1000"/>
</manifest>
Thanks
