Ipad does not use flash player. What are my options?

What are my options since ipad does not use flash player?

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
1. Puffin
2. SkyFire
3. Photon Flash
4. Browse2Go
5. Swifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

Ate a website that does not support Safari. What are my optional browsers?

I need to navigate a website that does not support Safari. What other browser are available to me if I am running OS X.4?

You may not need another browser. In Safari Preferences > Advanced, click the box "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
A new menu with that name will now be available. Choose the "user agent" that placates the website. That will at least load the page, but if you find it doesn't render properly you can always use Firefox.

My iPad does not support flash player. What can I do to listen to Finnish radio on the iPad?

Help! How can I listen to my beloved Finnish radio on this new fangled iPad? To listen to it I require flash player. Any ideas?

For general internet radio listening I recommend TuneIn Radio, either the free or paid Pro version.
If by Finnish radio you mean Yle they have an app available, they even direct you to it when you first surf to their website.

Games from Facebook iPad does not have flash player please help

I have being trying to play my Facebook games on my iPad but it won't let me keeps saying to down load adobe fashion player but iPad says I cannot do this so how can I play my games please help

Have a look in the AppStore to see if the Facebook game has an iPad version. Many do.

HT1349 Many times I want to see a particular video, and my iPad will tell me I need flash. From what I have read apple software does not use flash. My question is what app can I purchase for my iPad that will make flash videos work?

Many times, while I am surfing through the Internet a particular web page will have a video, which requires Flash. iPads do not use Flash. So my question is, what app can I get from the app store will help me views these videos?

I did a quick search here and came up with a couple, the better of the two appears to be "Photon Flash Web Browser".
As with any app, read the reviews and decide for yourself. It may or may not work with the sites you need.

No question, just a remark to say how upset I am that Apple still does not have flash player on iPad or iPod touch. Still upset not to be able to view my family's video on my iPad! Upset customer!

This is a user to user forum, and Apple does not follow these discussions. But here is what Apple says about not having Flashplayer on iDevices:

Why does not Adobe flash player for iPad ,This is a very big problem

Why does not Adobe flash player for iPad ,This is a very big problem ,I do not know why Apple is so Popular

but Adobe is, in fact, continuing to update Flash for Android.
Only essential bug and security fixes. No new feature updates have been released for 2 years.
Of course we have those who wish fervently that the lack of Flash supprt will damage Apple severely and obsess about it all the time.
I thought they'd realised it was a lost cause ages ago... they mostly seem to have disappeared from this forum, at least...

For some applications I need Adobe Flashplayer. It seems that iPad does not support it. What to do?

I need Adobe Flash player for some apps but iPad does not support it. What could I possibly do?

Flash isn't supported on the iPad, and probably never will be.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites have their own apps in the App Store.

I want to play Farmville on my iMac, but it does not have Flash Player. I tried to download it, but I was not able.

I play Farmville on my laptop and yesterday that I unpacked my new iMac, I was not able because it does not have Flash Player.
I tried to download it, but it would not let me. Is iMac not compatible with Flash Player?

Adobe Flash Player version 11.1.102.55 works great on all my Intel iMac's.

HT4623 My ipad does not have the software update as an option. Is there another way to install os updates

My ipad does not have the software update as an option. Is there any other way to update the operating system? Thank you

Your tag line shows iOS 6. If you are running iOS 6 you should have it in the settings. Your tag line also shows iPad - so if you have the iPad 1 - you can only update to iOS 5.1.1 and you need a computer running iTunes.
So if You do not have iOS 5 on your iPad you have to update by using a computer via the latest version of iTunes. You can connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under the devices heading. Click on the Summary Tab on the right. Click on Check for Update.
After you update to iOS 5 or later, you will have Software Update in you settings and can update via WiFi OTA.

G4 with not boot with Tige- what are my options

I have a PowerMac G4 500MHZ with a newly installed 120GB ATA drive and 1.5GB of RAM.
In the last few weeks, I have tried all of the following.
I installed OS9 on the new drive. I performed all the updates to 9.2.2. I made sure all software was updated, and my firmware was current. I have the old DVD-RAM drive, which did use to read DVD movies, but from what I read on the forums here, it would not be sufficient to boot from the Tiger DVD disc. So, I booted in Target Disk mode to my G5. I used my G5's superdrive to install Tiger on the G4 drive that was loaded on my desktop. Everything seemed to work fine, but after I power down the G4 and turn it back on, I get the Apple logo and spinning gear (as if Tiger is going to load) but that is far as it goes.
I even tried the other way around, I booted my G5 in Target Disk mode to my G4 so I could still use my superdrive to install Tiger. And here is where I think the problem lies somewhere. When I clicked on "Install OSX" and it tells you to restart, it will not boot from the OSX disc. I have a feeling there is something wrong internally with the G4 that is preventing it from booting in OSX, because I was able to install Tiger on the G4's drive when it was in target disk mode on the G5, but it will not boot in Tiger on its own. I also tried installing from an external firewire DVD (Pioneer A4, super) and I get the same thing every time. The only way I even get to go through the Install process is when the G4 is in target disk mode to the G5.
Am I looking at sending this thing in for service? what are my options? I feel like I'm running out of them.
I also replaced the lithium battery in the G4 because another forum indicated that could also be a problem. If I take this to an Apple store for service, what kind of cost am I looking at? I know thats a tough questions as it could be anything. If its the mother board, what kind of cost am I looking at?
any suggestions are welcome.

"...what do you mean by PRAM rest?"
Sorry that should be "reset" read this:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
Then do as it says...this fixed the same problem with my daughter's iBook after a Tiger upgrade
"...does that mean just for installation or its fussy period?"
I have had experiences where the installer would crash with the 3rd party RAM installed but run fine with just the OEM RAM in the computer. After installation was complete, the 3rd party RAM was re-installed with not problems...

Can you see the Flash animation at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ ? If yes, Flash Player is correctly installed and working.
If not, what files do you have in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash ?

Reader Extensions does not recognize Flash Player

Hi All:
Rather new to Reader Extensions ES 2 and have installed it on a test system. This use to work but now I am having a problem accessing the user web page.
Environment
Windows XP
IE 6 or 7
Flash player 9 or 10
Issue:
When I access http:// localhost:8080/ReaderExtensions/welcome I recieve a page display stating "This content requires the Adobe Flash Player 9 or above." Get Flash.
Steps taken to date:
I originally had Flash 10 but have tried downgrading to Flash 9 with no results.
Re-installed Reader extensions after changing Flash versions with no results.
uninstalled Reader Extensions and cleaned out the registry. reinstalled Reader extensions with no result
Note: the installation had no errors and was doing a Turnkey - express mode install
Upgraded IE from 6 to 7 with no results.
Searched the Internet for similar issues
Searched the Adobe forums with no results.
Anybody with any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi Paul:
I am using ES2 or Reader Extensions 9. I have tried both Flash 9 and 10. From investigation on Web, 10 should be fine with ES2 but I downgraded it to version 9 just in case.
Regardless, it doesn't work with either Flash 9 or Flash 10.
This is only a problem when trying to access the user interface. I can access Reader Extensions AdminUI. I can change settings etc so there is no problem with the install or configuration, I just can't load the user interface to actually reader extend a PDF.
One thing I noticed on my production system using LC Reader Extensions 7, in IE there is the Shockwave Flash Object (version 10) under "Add-ons that have been used by Internet Explorer". I do not see this on the development system with ES2.
Thank you,
David Chamberlin

Does Facebook use flash player Active x?

Does it need it for the games on there or need it in general?

I don't understand your question...
Under Internet Explorer, Flash Player installs as an ActiveX Control.
Under all other browsers, Flash Player installs as a plugin.

Ipad does not use flash player. What are my options?
