Installed flash player 12. All sites report "flash player required, get flash player".

Flash player 11 worked fine - - no problems. Installed Flash player 12; now all sites report that I have no flash player. Flash object add-on is enabled for all web sites. What's going on?

See: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2013/09/21/internet-explorer-11-user-agent-str ing-ua-string-sniffing-compatibility-with-gecko-webkit.aspx
MS really did a number on IE 11. They intentionally screwed up the User-Agent Strings so it's difficult if not impossible for websites to identify.
The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon. In fact, the loonballs in Redmond actually think this was a good idea.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

All sites are telling me to download Flash, but Adobe says I already have it.

Really frustrating that I can't watch videos without flash, but cant download it either. I have windows 8

If you have Windows 8 and you're using IE, you DO have it already. It's embedded in IE by Microsoft, and you can't... update, download or repair it here.
You MUST use Windows Update to update your Flash Player.
However, if you're using Internet Epxloder 11, then your problems aren't Flash Player, but the intentionally screwed up "User-Agent Strings" that Microsoft put in IE11. Sites can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.

Installed new HD now all i see is system folder with flashing ?

i just installed a new HD on my clamshell last night. Everything went smoothly and it was easier than I had imagined. After I had everything put back together I tried starting it up and then put in my OS X update discs. But all I am seeing is the blank screen with the system folder and flashing question mark. I tried pressing C to boot the CD but nothing happened. These aren't the original installation CD's as I bought the ibook second hand on ebay. On the CD's it says "OS X Updates 10.3.6 - 10.3.9 Konfabulator - Widgets" I'm not sure if these are even meant to be installation discs. I'm thinking that my option is to buy new discs and start that, but if there is a way to get these to work I'd rather do that. I was running Panther before this mix up, and I'm wondering if I should run panther again or if I should upgrade to Tiger or Leopard (although I think that my computer isn't compatible for Leopard)
Any help would be appreciated, I can't seem to find any info anywhere else on this.

You cannot install OS X to a blank hard drive from an upgrade installer disc. You need the fully bootable installer disc such as the retail Panther installer or the original OS X installer discs used to install the version of OS X that you upgraded with the upgrade disc. The disc you apparently used is not an OS X installer disc.
If you have Panther installer discs they should have a black label with a large gray "X". There are three discs in the set.
Before you will be able to install any operating system on your new drive you will first need to prepare the drive:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
Note that some options referred to above may not be present in Jaguar or Panther. Simply ignore them.

No apps. will install...they all sit at "Waiting"...

Hello,
I am trying to install some free apps on my ipod touch. I go to the app store through my touch, select the app, (dictionary.com) and select install, it prompts me for my login, and it then appears in the start window with an icon...sometimes it briefly says "loading" but then just sits at "waiting"
I've connected the itouch to itunes on my pc, and even tried downloading it to my pc, then syncing it to the touch...same thing happens. It sits at waiting.
I have installed the latest version of itunes on my pc and logged into my account...(therefore accepting the new agreement etc..)
I have great wifi connectivity through it and am able to watch Youtube, browse with safari, look through itunes etc...so it isn't that the touch isn't getting wireless access....
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Did you ever figure out how to fix it? I'm having the same problems!

Is there a good music player app for windowsphone? I can't get media player to sync with my phone.

I want something where I can buy music online and sync to my surface pro and Nokia Icon like Itunes, I was using Amazon cloud player on my Android but now I have the Windows phone instead and it seems they have no support for Windows phone. Anything like that available for windows phone. I was hoping I could use windows media player but I can't find it for windows phone, is that possible? seems very odd there is no WMP for Windows phone.

Xbox music comes standard on your Windows Phone and as part of Windows 8.X.
There is also a Nokia music service for your phone and a corresponding app for Windows 8.X.
There are be others, including an apps that may access iTunes. (I have never used iTunes)
Get creative in your searches in the Store on your phone and the store on your Windows 8 computer.

Flash Download from Adobe site says it's not most current and will not continue the install.

I tried to update my flash on 9/20 and my flash seems to have gotten corrupted. Since that update, its not working properly and some sites report it's out of date or doesn't seem to be installed. Tried downloading Flash from your download area today but when the installer runs, it states The version is not the most current. Please download from the player download area. However, I did get my install directly from your website's downloads area. I uninstalled my "corrupted" version thinking it might be causing the issue but I still get the same error with the flash download from your site and now I have no Flash at all.
Please help.

Download and save the uninstaller Save it to your downloads folder - DO NOT run it yet.
Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking one (or both) of the following links and selecting "Save Target as"(IE) or "Save Link as"(other browsers).
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Save the installer(s) to your downloads folder - DO NOT run it(them) yet.
Reboot your system.
BEFORE you run anything else, locate and run the uninstaller.
When it finishes, run the installer(s) to put Flash Player on your system again.
If you use IE see also:Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer and: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer

How can I see content on web sites that require adobe flash player?

We installed a web tv from our clinic but it requires adobe flash player, how can I see this stuff?

Despite what has been said, there is no Flash player for iOS devices.
http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
There are some browsers like Skyfire that can play some Flash content, but performance varies so try different apps to see if any can display the sites you go to...but don't expect greatness.

Flash Player, W8 & a site

Hi evreyone, hi everybody,
First I apologies for my english, I hope you will understand me

This display works on the PC of my brother in law
This display works on genealoy collegue.
The display come but it is not lisible (blurred) on my PC
This is the same with MSIE, Chrome or Firefox.
That's works on other genealogy site

MSIE 10
Firefox 28.0

Adobe 13.0.0.214
Thank's a lot

I hadn't done that, but I have now. My Trusted Location Settings now has /Applications
Same result, "Flash blocked for this site", and the TomTom app hangs again.
If I now try to specify the TomTom application individually, it and all applications are still greyed out.
(As an experiment, I re-started my iMac on Mountain Lion, from a bootable clone made by Carbon Copy Cloner. The TomTom app (an earlier version) still misbehaved in the same way, and when I tried to add it, individually, to Trusted Locations, it was still greyed out.)
The TomTom app, by the way, is the current version. Flash really doesn't like my apps! Below is a complete list. As the forum was in the act of attaching the list, I got a fleeting sight of the "Flash blocked for this site" message! But the attachment was successful (at least at my end).
I haven't noticed the "Flash blocked for this site" message anywhere else, and presumably Flash will be used successfully (and without any indication) for several pieces of software on my computer.
This is getting worrying. Thanks for your help. Any more ideas?
Here are my apps:

Enable Flash for only selected sites

Flash implementation sucks and will eventually be replaced by HTML 5 functionality.
Most sites today work without Flash but a few still require them. The ones that do not need flash will in most cases use it anyway if Flash is enabled. To be able to use all sites one has to have Flash enabled for all sites.
To speed Firefox up and be able to migrate away from Flash completely I would like the option to by default have Flash disabled and to manually enable it for certain sites only. This would both speed up the browsing experience and the general migration from Flash to HTML 5.

You can inspect and manage the permissions for all domains on the about:permissions page or for the domain in the currently selected tab by clicking the "Site Identity Button" (globe/padlock) on the location bar and "More Information" to open "Page Info" and go to the Permissions tab.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-manage-website-permissions
*Tools > Page Info > Permissions
You can disable click-to-play to be able to select which plugins are allowed on specific web pages (enable, disable, ask). 
Set the plugins.click_to_play pref to true on the about:config page.

Re: Getting Flash Player 11.7+ back on my laptop

In March 2013, I purchased a HP 2000 with Windows 8 and Flash Player 11.7.169 installed. Recently I received notification that I needed to update my flash player. Silly me I did so not realizing that it wasn't HP or Adobe asking. I then removed it [the download mistake] using HP refresh. Now some of the games I've played on Facebook I need flash player 11.1 or high How do I get flash player 11.7 that I had originally back? PLEASE help! I need it for more than just the games. PLEASE!

What browser - IE10? You removed what - Flash Player from Internet Explorer?

Adobe Flash Player 10.3.181.34 installed but all sites asking for upgrade. HELP

I am unable to view videos on youtube or even see the image at this site http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
All sites are telling me i need to upgrade Adobe Flash Player which i have done successfully many times, i've uninstalled and reinstalled and restarted plsu tried some other tips like using software rendering for accelerated graphics but still the same upgrade error can anyone out there help?

Hi again Jay,
The Flash files that are in the SysWOW64 location, those files need to be there, but more complete info should be listed.
Could you post back the complete info on the Flash .ocx, .dll & the .exe? Otherwise I have no idea what version you have.
Also, go to Tools, Manage addons and look for Shockwave Flash Object. What version is it and is it Enabled?
All of the above is important as they make up Flash Player. I do not need any Install log info, so please don't post that.
Thanks,
eidnolb

if it says that you have adobe flash player then you don't need to install again.
Please provide the link of that site to test at my end.

Problems installing flash player for all users on a computer (domain)

Hi all,
I've had a quick search but have unfortunately not found any answers.
I've just setup a new image using WDS to install 55 new Dell computers. Flash player was installed as part of this image, the problem i'm getting is that if I log in as a domain administrator I can run flash fine with no problems, however if I log in as a domain user, and try to visit any site that requires flash, i can't seem to view any flash content.
When logged in as the domain user and navigate to control panel I can see the "Flash player settings" option and when I view installed software I an see that flash player 11 is installed.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be? - Do you require admin rights to view flash files?
Any help would be extremely grateful!
Thanks.
Matt

It might be a permission problem in the Flash Player install folder. Try a clean install on the original machine.
If that does not resolve your problem, can you tell what Windows version & edition you are using?
Also check the permissions of all files in
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
C:\Windows\Syswow64\Macromed\Flash

i have a HP laptop, when i try to do certain things that require flash player it tells me i need to install the latest version so when i try it says its already installed. i have tried all the trouble shooting suggestions and it stll isnt working. I even checked the activex filtering and that doesn't seem to be the problem.

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.

Installed flash player 12. All sites report "flash player required, get flash player".
