Internet Plug-Ins: Adobe Flash PLayer 9

I thought I share this for all of you who were having the same problem I was with Safari failing to load pages incorrectly because it didn't have a certain plug-in related to Adobe Flash Player 9/Shockwave. Here's what I did:
Install Adobe player from the Adobe website and once it says the installation is complete (you should be back on the Adobe webpage that lists your new version in a box on the right hand side), there is a link above for a program called Adobe AIR. Click on it, follow all the prompts to install it, and if you let that install fully, your Adobe Flash Player should work. I don't know why the installation without AIr isn't the complete installation, but I decided to click on the AIR link and download it and from there my Flash Player works like new. I hope this is helpful.

Here's an addendum to my first post...
This is the page you should get to in order to fully install Adobe Flash Player:
http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/index.html
That's the page that should have your version info on it and it should say:
You have version 9,0,124,0 installed
On that page a banner ad will appear for Adobe Media player which will eventually stop animating itself and allow you to "Launch now' or 'Learn more'. Click on Launch now and follow the prompts to install it. If you install the media player, it should uniformly finish installing the Flash player. The Adobe AIR program is part of the installation if I remember correctly) but I do know that installing the media player should solve this (see below) error message when you get to pages that require Flash Player:
"The page has content of an unspecified MIME type. Because you dont have plug-ins installed for this MIME type, this content cannot be displayed."

I am trying to use sites on the internet which require Adobe Flash Player, but when I click on the free download, it says that Apple does not support this application, so I cannot use it. This stops me viewing quite a few interesting things. Any ideas?

I am trying to use sites on the internet which require Adobe Flash Player, and when I click for a free download it says that "it is not available for your device because of restrictions that Apple has put in place". Any suggestions on how to overcome this?

Flash is not, and probably never will be, supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus it would be up to Adobe to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, something which they have never managed to do and which they have now given up on trying to do.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so your could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app).

I have a new mini ipad and need to install Adobe Flash Player on it in order to use certain items on the internet. Can Adobe Flash Player be installed an used on my ipad??

I have my first ipad. It is the mini version. I'm trying to go to certain sites on the internet that tell me I need to update or install Adobe Flash Player. When I try to down load Adobe Flash Player I get a message saying "this device does not support Adobe Flash Player". Can I not use Adobe Flash Player on my ipad like I do on my computers and my iphone???

You can't install flash player on your iPad, nor on your iPhone - it's not supported on iOS devices, and as Adobe have stopped development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites. Also some websites have their own apps in the App Store.

Plug-in adobe flash player for windows 7 64 bit ???? i have install the flah player many times but no succes ????

i have windows 7 home 64 bits and the adobe flash player cannot be install in mozilla firefox ??????
i have install many times

Try to install it manually.
To begin with download these two files:
* [http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe uninstall_flash_player.exe]
* [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe install_flash_player.exe]
These are direct download links so you won't see a page, merely the files which you see in the screenshot.
Close Firefox and then run the uninstaller even if you think you don't have it installed.
Next, reboot to remove the Registry entries.
When the system reboots to the desktop, run the installer. ''Do not open Firefox first though''.
Finally, go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ to test the installation.

Internet Explorer thinks Adobe flash player is unsafe and will not download

Hi,
I am using I.E. 9 and Windows 7 64 bit os. Everytime I try to download the Adobe flash player, I.E. will stop it and say it's been reported as unsafe. Any way around this? Thanks for any help you can provide!

Plug - Ins for flash player 9?

I was told I needed to update the flash player so I clicked
on and uploaded Flash player 9 - I was able to install it but
everytime I go to a web page it tells me that
application/x-shockwave-flash a plug in is needed for this MIME
type and sends me back to the origional page where I downloaded the
flash player 9 from to begin with. It tells me that I should be
able to down load the plug ins from the site. HELP!!!!!! I even
tried uninstalling and reinstalling it to no avail.

when you uninstall you must make sure that all internet
browsers are closed and after uninstalling reboot your computer and
then install again and then reboot once more
hope this helps

Safari can't find the Internet plug-in. (Flash Player)

I am getting a constant annoying notification in Safari saying that Flash isnt installed. I have reinstalled it 3 times. I have even run the uninstaller and then reinstalled. I have restarted after each attempt. I have even dumped the safari plist. Flash is working fine in firefox. Why wont safari link up with the installed plugin?
Safari : 4.0.4
Flash : 10.0.42.34

HI Brian,
Try maintenance and see if that helps...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
If you have Safari 3rd party plugins or Input Managers, they may not be compatible with 10.6 or Flash. Go here for trouble shooting. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
If you are running Safari in 64 bit mode, try running in 32-bit mode instead. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. *Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*

Internet Explorer 9 and Adobe Flash Player Square (x64)

I have a question, I use internet Explorer 9 Beta and I just heard a new version of Adobe Flash came out, my operating System is x64... I downloaded Adobe Flash Player Square and do I have to use Internet Explorer (64) or can I use the Normal one (Internet Explorer) for Adobe Flash Player to work?
Thank you

Hi, The Flash Player Square is a beta, so it is going to have problems. IE9 is a beta, so the same. I would not Install both betas.
I would decide which one you want to use, if any. But I would not use both!!
Betas are for developers and other users that want to test using it and report back to Adobe problems they find, etc. The same thing with IE9, they use it, find problems and report back to Microsoft.
Then when all of the problems are worked out, the companies release it to everyone.
If you decide not to use the Flash Player beta, then you must Uninstall before Installing the 10.1 version.
Hope that helps.

Adobe Flash Player has been crashing for months. Can you please correct associated problems?

The following is the message after the successful download from within Microsoft Internet Explorer and Installation of Adobe Flash Player on 8/17/2011 (today): You are now running Adobe Flash Player 10.3.183.5
And the following version of Adobe Shockwave Flash Player was downloaded and installed as a plug-in for Mozilla Firefox on 8/15/2011: Shockwave Flash 10.3.183.5
The following link was not working, and in fact access deteriorated since installing the latest Firefox plug-in for Adobe Shockwave Flash Player.
http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/interchart/interchart.asp?symb=DJIA&time=20
For example it stopped supplying daily data for longer Timelines. Then yesterday the panel on the left side of the webpage appeared garbled. I had been continually getting crashes of the Flash Player for months but never got any notice that I was not up to date.

I find it strange that months of agreeing to send these crash reports did not result in any notifications of updates to Firefox.
Confusion has been introduced because of the similar names for the same application. Microsoft Internet Explorer’s notification states that Adobe Flash Player is not up to date and requests download and installation of the same version that had already been installed within Mozilla Firefox, which refers to this application as Shockwave Flash (of the same version). PLEASE SEE IF USERS CAN BE PROVIDED WITH SOME DISCUSSION OF THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THESE APPLICATIONS.
What appears currently as fixes on the Firefox website for this application does not fix the problem, but so far it seems that the download from Internet Explorer of Adobe Flash Player (today) fixes the problem of the plug-in. This fix was NOT mentioned within the Mozilla Firefox website. Please note that at this point I do not have enough experience using the “fix” to know if I will not continue to have other problems with this plug-in.
I'm running Windows XP (latest SP and updates) and cannot use Internet Explorer beyond Version 8, since the later versions are apparently only for later MS OSs. Updating to a later OS with older hardware I do not believe is advisable.

Hotmail ad is causing Adobe Flash Player error (REVISED)

Hi,
This is an updated version of my question (see original question posted here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/874194)
I'm now using Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421 (32-bit edition) on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine and using Adobe Flash Player 10.3.181.34.
In my original question, I was receiving the following error. I am still receiving the following error. Whenever I check my e-mail on Hotmail, I get the following error:
Here are some problems:
1. When I click on "SETTINGS," the dialogue box closes, nothing else happens, and the problem doesn't go away, even after I restart the browser.
2. I also tried using the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer and Adobe Flash Player Square (beta) and received the same error.
3. The problem appears to be caused by a sidebar ad on the Hotmail home page.
4. I must use Hotmail.
5. I must use Internet Explorer for various reasons.
I would like to not have this error box pop up all the time.
Any suggestions?

Hi, I wasn't sure if that would make a difference or not. I'll see if I can find the Hotmail contact info for you.
Actually, I wouldn't want to prohibit Flash Player from putting this warning up. There is a reason and it is for your Security. As far as that Setting not working, that in my opinion is a good thing. Re-read what that Setting does. Why would that URL/ad site need to communicate with the Internet? For what purpose? Trojans like to communicate with the Internet too:-)
You nor I have no idea what this site is all about or even up to. I'd be very careful with this until I knew more about it.
I would run a full scan with your Anti-Virus and then I would report this URL and the circumstances to them.
My problem is that this URL was flagged and that it wants to communicate with the Internet. Now I've seen hundreds of ads and have not received anything like that message with that wording.
Let me know and I'll get back to you with some Hotmail info.
Thanks,
eidnolb

Adobe Flash Player plug ins are blocked

I have installed Adobe flash player but plugins are still blocked. What am I doing wrong?

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 4.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
2. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password.
3. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
4. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
5. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
6. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
