Installed Flash, still says I need to get newest update
Using Windows XP with Opera and Windowx Vista with Firefox.
Okay, I was trying to watch a video on Tumblr, but it promts to download the newest Flash. Do so on both firefox and opera. It still says it requires newest Flash. Java is enabled in both browsers. Get a hint that java needs updating too, so we do that. Still nothing. Try to empty history and such on browsers, still nothing. I un-install and re-install Java, it still wont show videos!
Then I restart the computer, but it didn't help either.
Adobe Flash site claims I have the newest version, and youtube works fine. What are we gonna do? It's really annoying and hopeless. I've had this trouble before on older computers and it's getting kinda tiresome to always have such a fuss with flash/java updates.
Hi, That was a very nice explanation and complete What I would do first is go to Tumbir and see if you can find any system requirement or help info. When you say that it says you need Flash 10, does it have any more info than that? Does it have any other digits? We had 10.0 etc and now it is 10.1. Maybe they don't support vs 10.1.102.64.
I think you are correct in assuming it may be the site that is causing issues, but it could be the above or Shockwave Player is needed. If you have a Twitter account you could see what those requirements are, or if you have a friend that could check.
Clearly Flash Player is working fine with your browsers and youtube, so there is no issue there.
I use IE6 and youtube works fine:-) I think I have less problems with IE6 as far as being able to view whatever I want, even the BBC:-)
I would leave Flash Player exactly as it is......working!!
Let me know what you can find out.
Thanks,

Cannot install Flash Player - says I need to download missing plugin
Firefox 3.6.10
Windows XP, SP 3, 32 bit
I always have to uninstall my current flash player before installing a new version. So I uninstalled, but when I try to install the new version, I get a message at the top that I need to install a missing plugin. All I get when I go there is GP.XPI downloaded which does nothing at all. What do I need to do? Thanks for any help!!GP (GetPlus) is the Adobe download manager. Download the Flash Player installer directly from http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe (for Firefox) and you will not need any DLM.

Lastest Flash (16.0.0.305) is installed but Firefox still says I need Flash for most videos. Why?
I have installed flash multiple times, restarted Firefox, and everything I can think of but every time I come to a page that uses flash player it STILL Says I need Flash player to see the video or whatever is using flash. This has been going on for a while now since the last Firefox update.
In your More System Details, there is a mystery line that just says "Flash" while the official line says "Shockwave Flash". Could you use by test page to generate a list of the full information for each plugin so it's easier to figure out which one is the stranger?
http://dev.jeffersonscher.com/jstest.asp
Scroll down a bit to the plugin list. It's the "Description" line that will say just "Flash". What is the name of the plugin? -
hi have just purchased iphone 4s . my itunes on my mac is currently 10.4 . 10.5 is needed for the new iphone but when i download it and click on install the itunes about still says 10.4 . have tried to update through itunes but it says there is no software available for me . please help . mr frustrated
If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
that system.
Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing! -
I restart my computer and the AppStore still says I need to restart to install. I've tried many times with failure. I have restarted manually, through the appstore, and on the Apple Menu.
If your computer is looking for a server, it sounds like you might have a problem with your Internet connection.
Chrome is probably trying to warn because .exe files can contain viruses. Chances are, if you're connected to mozilla.com and have https: (a secure connection), you don't have to worry about getting software with viruses or other malware.
Is your account on your computer an administrator account? Are you able to install other programs without limitation? If not, you might not have administrative privileges, which will make it hard to install things. You can download things, that doesn't require admin privileges, but altering the computer's operation by changing programs requires such privileges. If you do have admin privileges, I don't know what could be causing your problem.
Don't know if I've helped you or not, hopefully someone else knows specifically to what you refer and can answer, if my suggestions didn't do anything to help -
I downloaded Flash Player and it still says I need to download!
I and using a Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and I recently updated Safari to version 5 and ever since my Flash Player hasn't been working. When I try to watch videos, it says I need to download Flash Player, so I go through the whole download process and when I try to watch a video, it still says I need to download Flash Player. When I troubleshoot my flash player it says "content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player" but I have the newest version. My Flash PLayer worked fine until I updated Safari, why is this happening?
Hi, It would be nice if the websites would use the word "Install" instead of download; big difference:-) Flash Player works in the browser, so the websites are looking for the Flash Player control, which is the Shockwave Flash which should be in your Safari browser. If you have Quicktime and know where the plugins are located, look for it there. It must be there and Enabled.
If not, then my guess is that the update to the newer version of Safari either caused a glitch or disabled it.
Using Safari, go here to test, then let me know if you can see the animation of the Flash logo(spins) and what version of Flash Player is displayed. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

After downloading adobe flash player, twice, still says i need to update it

duplicate of [/questions/909951]Hello. I have almost the same problem it seems.
I have reinstalled Adobe Flash Player (latest), used the Uninstaller from the website. It installs correctly.
Even tho it doesnt seem right when i check my programs installed.
Because before i had 2 Adobe Flash Player (i use CCleaner for this), I got the Adobe Flash Player Plugin 64-bit
and another at name Adobe Flash Player 11 something. And before i did the same thing as i did now.
But it should probably be only the Plugin one.
Anyways. When i try to watch Youtube videos, it won't use Flash Player at all. And Firefox says
i have Flash Player, and its up to date and everything. But Youtube wont use it. Some do odd enough.
Vimeo use it tho.
And now i came across this thread, and i tried that Profile thing you told. And it does work with a new profile.
With the same Youtube video (copy link from old Profile). So i guess it's the profile that's broken.
Example of videos:
Doesnt work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3PMCD7aMRI&hd=1
Works just fine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ46Ot4_lLo&feature=related&hd=1
But how could i fix this then? Cause i realy don't want to do a new profile and lose all the settings etc i have at the moment.
Would be realy awesome if you could provide a fix for me
I might have been unclear on some things, not that good at english at some points.
So just ask if you need more info and ill try to provide it for you.

I currently have iPhoto 8.1.2 on my macbook pro and am trying to update to the latest version. I have had to work backward, but I can only get back to 9.1, which will not install because it says I need at least 9.0 to install it. Is 9.0 available? Will I need to go back even further? Thanks
Upgrading from iPhoto 8 to iPhoto 9 requires a purchase. There are two ways to get to iPhoto 9:
1 - purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com.
2 - if your MBP meets the requirements upgrade you system for free to Mavericks. Then you can purchase the latest iPhoto version, 9.5.1, from the App Store.

I am told I need to update Flashplayer. I have downloaded the update 5 times and installed it successfully on FireFox but Safari still says I need to update. I have gone so far as to restart before re-opening Safari. What am I not doing?
Enable plug-ins.
Safari > Preferences > Security
Web content:
Is the box next to "Enable plug-ins" checked?
Best. -

I just got my new iphone 5 and had to upgrade my mac (version 10.5.8) version of i tunes. Trying to install and it says i need 10.6.8 or later. What can I do to get this phone installed?
Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

I have purchased mountain lion OS with my apple ID but still says I need to buy it??
So I got a used mid 2009 macbook pro from an american friend (which is from america obviously) and I cleared the hardrive and attempted to reinstall the OS.
So I made an account, reviewed it etc and finally bought OS mountain lion from the aus store (because my account is aus and that's where Im from) (1.7) but it still says I need to purchase it when I input my apple ID and password?
I don't understand why, do I need an american apple ID and OS?? I don't see why it would make a difference.....
I know the purchase has gone through because I've even received an email saying my details have gone through...that's the issue, you bought the OS online so Donald is right, it is being mailed to you. post the URL where you bought it.
the 'app store' is an application running on OSX itself where you can DL software.
so, you have to wait for mountain lion to arrive.
if you want to get a clean OS on your machine now, do this
reboot holding down command/option/R (hoping your machine supports this)
open disk utility, erase your HD so you have a single mac journaled partition
choose install OSX on this HD
let it run. from what you said, you will be back on lion. -
hi im having huge problems trying to install flash for my mac 10.5 imac, iv gone through the internet and tried all of the solutions, everytime i try to install flash it says cant read the download file, or it just wont install, anybody plz help!
iv unistalled flash, iv checked plug ins it just wont work,It would have been a great help to know precisely what Mac you have, so some of the following may not apply:
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,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
(If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. 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 (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44: Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
(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, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc 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. -
I downloaded quick time because i tried watching a movie i purchased on itunes and and have watched it before on my laptop but paused and continued. i tried opening it today and it said i needed to download quicktime and i did. it still says i need to download it, what do I do
Hi morgangang,
Although that message is not listed in the following article, I would still go through it for help. Things like installing in safe mode may help.
QuickTime: Windows troubleshooting tips
Troubleshooting Tips
Make sure your computer meets the system requirements.
Try running ScanDisk to verify that the directory is OK. This is an important step to take before installing any software.
Try running the stand-alone version of the QuickTime installer in "Safe Mode." It is available here. This can help to isolate issues with background applications, and some driver conflicts.
Make certain you have installed the most recent drivers for your sound and video cards. Even if you have a "brand new" computer, it is not guaranteed to have the most recent software installed. Contact the manufacturer of your sound and video cards for additional information.
Make certain you have installed a recent version of DirectX.
Errors are usually related to software conflicts, unusable files, or incompatibilities. They can also be related to specific hardware combinations, and sometimes the way in which the hardware is configured. Keep in mind that an error message does not necessarily point to a particular cause or solution. Since there can be many different causes for a particular symptom, some suggestions may not work, and you may need to discover a solution on your own.
Note: Please contact Microsoft Corporation or your computer vendor for help configuring Microsoft Windows.
