IMac Flash Freeze! Videos won't play after updating Adobe Flash Player. Send help (and donuts).

Last night I was prompted to download the newest version of Adobe Flash Player. After installing it Hulu and Youtube will not play videos. On Hulu there is a "Plug-In Failure" message. I've uninstalled it, reinstalled it, turned it off, turned it back on, uninstalled and reinstalled again, searched on message boards, turned it off for a long time and then turned it back on, refreshed the pages, and now I'm just drinking lots of coffee and pleading for help.
Hulu is my only t.v.!!!!
H E L P MEEEEEEE !!!!

Videos won't play after update

Updated iPad 1 to OS 4.3.3 and now all iTune videos won't play. Screen goes black and then resets with "Unable to play this video" message. Any way to fix without downloading 50gb of movies again?

Not sure if this was the fix but the problem was resolved. I was also having App store sync problems so I rebooted the iPad (hard reboot) and then immediately went to app store any updated all apps (video player want one of them) and after it was complete I did another hard boot/reset. When the iPad restarted I immediately went into the video player and Problem Solved! Nt sure how it resolved itself but it works without reloading the files. Never connected to my laptop or resync'dthe iPad but just did an update to all of my apps from the App store (there were 11 to update). Good luck with it.

After updating adobe flash and restarting firefox for mac, as requested, can't restore previous session

using macbook pro with os 10.7.5, was recommended to update adobe flash while in firefox (22.0). did so, which required closing and restarting firefox during flash update. when complete, firefox opened automatically to adobe flash window and restore previous session was grayed out. can't figure out how to find and restore the tabs i had been using. related questions and answers don't find a solution. my settings are all normal and do not appear to have any relation to the problem. rather, it seems to be the closing and reopening of firefox associated with the updating of flash that nuked any memory of my previous session. is there a solution?

i found my own solution to my problem! first of all, DON'T QUIT FIREFOX -- to be sure the current undesirable session doesn't become the "previous session". instead, open a new window (command-N). in my case, it opened to my usual default url and, while in that window (either before or after closing the first browser window that had opened automatically after updating adobe flash), the "restore previous session" option in history menu reappeared! clicked on it and, from then on, things just worked normally.

Videos won't play after upgrading to ios7.1

Everything worked fine under ios7.0.4 and previous ios versions but videos won't play on YouTube or Facebook since upgrading to ios7.1. This is true for my ipad 4 and my wife's iPad mini. I have tried resets and reboots but did not help. May try to reinstall 7.0.4 unless someone has other ideas. All help appreciated.

You won't be able to install 7.0.4.
I have no problems playing YouTube videos on my iPad 4 or iPhone 5 using iOS 7.1.

Streaming videos don't play properly with Adobe flash player 10.1

After I updated Adobe flash player I noticed that videos I streamed did not play correctly. A video will begin to play but part way through it will freeze. It will indicate that it is buffering but it never finishes buffering and never continues to play, even if I refresh it. This occurs for several sites such as youtube, megavideo, and wisevid. This occurs for every browser I have tried (Firefox, IE, and Opera.) I also realized today that now iTunes cannot not download video either. When I try it says that parts of the files seem to be corrupted. I have uninstalled and reinstalled flash several times but that has not helped. I am using Adobe 10.1 (under version test it says it is WIN 10,1,53,64) and I have Windows 7. I'm not sure if my computer is 32-bit or 64-bit. I don't know how to check this. Please help me with this. I have been trying to fix this for days and nothing has helped. Thanks.

to check your computer configuration, right click on mycomputer and click on properties.
There you can see if its 32 or 64 bit.
But as the flash player is working fine on IE, i assume its 32 bit.
Even i use the same configuration and its working fine on all browsers.
Is it a specific video you are trying to load?
Are you sure about your internet connection speed?

After updating Adobe Flash, Firefox does not work

I have Windows Vista.
I just recently downloaded Firefox and it had that bar at the top of the internet url saying to update Adobe Flash or that the Adobe Flash plug in doesn't work. So I clicked on that and it took me to the Firefox site with the raccoon, with a list of things I might need to update.
So I updates Adobe Flash to
ActiveX: 11.4.402.278
Plug-In Version: 11.4.402.278
After that Firefox will open to my homepage which is the most visited with thumbnails of websites. But when I choose one, enter a website in the url, or click a favorite it fails to load.
What do I do now?

Thank you so much for responding to my question right away! You really helped me out. I've been so swamped in my school work and job I haven't had time to do anything else. Thanks alot for giving me a fast, straight to the point answer :) my problem is solved!

ITunes videos won't play after 10.8 upgrade--checkerboard pattern

On my Mac Mini (mid-2009) connected to an LG TV, after upgrading to Mountain Lion, all purchased videos on iTunes play audio but display a gray/white checkerboard pattern instead of a video. The same happens when I try to play the videos in Quicktime.
Someone else posted a similar problem here -- https://discussions.apple.com/message/19104312#19104312 -- but my problem doesn't seem to be the same (a conflict with Edovia's TouchPad app). I do, however, connect to this Mac Mini through Screen Sharing, and perhaps there's a VNC conflict going on. Just to be sure, I turned off another Edovia app, "Screens," on my iPad, but the issue remained.
iTunes will happily play non-iTunes-store videos. Also, I'm able to stream the iTunes Store videos from the Mac Mini to my MacBooks (running Mountain Lion and Lion) and iPad without any problems.
Thinking it was a DRM-related issue, I disassociated all devices and computers from my iTunes Store account and then reconnected them. No joy. I repaired disk permissions. No luck. Lots of restarting.
Has anybody else run into this? Possible solutions? It's driving me batty.

I am having this exact problem, however, it's only video content I download from iTunes. Anything that I've imported into iTunes, from alternate sources, will play just fine.
This seems to be a Quicktime problem as I have found that when you attempt to play iTunes files in Quicktime player, the same grey and white checkerboard pattern appears.
I am using my MacBook and MacMini in the exact same way. I am hoping there is an update to fix this probelm ASAP. This was my media center.

Non-flash youtube videos won't play on safari

Using the desktop version of youtube on safari - not the app.
The page loads, the screen is blank with the "Play" arrow button in the middle but then the video won't start/load/play. If I navigate away from the page, it will briefly show the first frame and then it disappears again. These are videos that were working absolutely fine up to last night with iOS 5. I have since done hard reset and installed iOS 5.0.1 but no luck. Any ideas what might be happening?
Thanks in advance

Using the desktop version of youtube on safari - not the app.
Swipe left on your Home screen then type: Youtube in the search field.
The app looks like this > It comes pre installed on the iPad so there's no way to delete it.

D/L Firefox 7, Flash 10 doesn't launch. Never had this problem w previous Firefox. I'd see error msg "you need to update your Flash, this video won't play".

The Flash 10 does not launch, Firefox 7 does not recognize this add-on at all. I d/l from Adobe, Flash page:"Installation successful". But Error message still reads "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video." I've even temporarily turned off my antivirus before D/L

There are two different versions of Flash, the '''''ActiveX''''' version for IE and the '''Plugin''' version used by most other browsers.
1.Download the Flash Plugin version 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.
4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

Movies won't play after update to iPhone 2.1 Software

Help. I updated my 16GB iPod Touch with the iPhone 2.1 software to support applications. But now, when I go back and try to play my mp4 and m4v movie files on my iPod touch, they won't play. When I try to play them I get a warning that says "this movie could not be played". Videos I purchased from iTunes continue to play just fine.
Is this a new anti-piracy thing or something like that or am I having a problem with the iPhone 2.1 software? If I knew I wouldn't be able to watch my old movies and TV shows, I wouldn't have upgraded to 2.1.
Thanks for your help.

Just a quick update on my issue... which seems different than most. To summarize, I tried updating from iTunes 10.6 directedly via USB. Got an empty progress bar when it "rebooted" after "successfully updating" to 5.1 with a memory allocation bar on itunes showing most the memory as allocated to "other", instead of the usual memory allocation to apps, music, pcits, etc. Rebooted the phone, but still came up with an empty progress bar, but would connect to itunes.. showing booted as 5.1, but again the memory was still allocated to "other". Started recovery process on itunes to try to bring back my old config, after which the iphone fully booted (into 5.1), but was completely.... recovered and re-installed all my apps, music, etc without a hitch and rebooted successfully, this time the memory allocation was correctly labeled, but somewhere I gained 2.0 GB of memory, even with all the same apps and music installed. I had to do some minor additional configurations (password lock had to be re-enabled), but otherwise, everything was working. A bunch of apps lost their stored settings... which I though strange as I expected the "backups" to store those settings as well. Otherwise, running 5.1 now without issues... seems much snappier than 5.0.1... but the process was nerve racking to say the least.
Best of luck with other "explorers" tyring to make the whole process work.

SWF created in Flash MX 7 won't play in browser w/Flash Player 9

I just noticed that my website, which I made from a template
from templatesheaven.com, isn't playing in Flash Player 9 in a
browser. It plays in the standalone player for some reason, but
when I look at it on the web, it shows just the count-in (or
whatever it's called, the pre-load), but stops when the counter
hits 99% and the action never starts. The website is at:
www.gwhitty.com
I built it using Flash MX 7, but for all I know the template
was made using Swish, which apparently causes problems with Flash
Player 9. Anyone have any other ideas? Still plays fine in FP7, so
I'm stumped. If I open my .fla file in Flash 9 and then export,
will that likely fix the problem? Any ideas appreciated...

Burned CDs won't play after updating to 6.0

After updating to 6.0 and 6.01 the CDs I burn won't play in my car stereo. This was never a problem prior to the updates.
I double checked everything I could think of and am burning them to CD-Rs and have audio CD selected on my burning preferences. I have even tried using several different brands of CD and using a slower burning speed.
Any ideas?

absolutely nothing.All the controls are normal. When i try to double click a track to play it just highlights the track. When i use the play button, it operates but no track plays. Even in purchased tracks it won't play! There are one or two tracks that will play normally but they are random ones. Have tried the suggestion that are recommended but with no success.
