Is it dangerous to play Zynga games these days?

Hi, here in Germany there are several warnings about the security gap in Flash player that is currently being used by cyber criminals to access computers. I deactivated the Flash, but now I am unable to play Zynga games. Is it really that dangerous to play Farmville nowadays?

Zynga games require Flash Player. If you've deactivated Flash Player, they're not going to work.
The latest version of Flash Player addresses the vulnerabilities that were being exploited in the wild.
Details can be found here:
Adobe Security Bulletin
So, install the latest Flash Player from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer, then re-enable it in order to play your game.

Who do i speak to about an issue with shockwave. it is running my cpu at 100%. when i play Zynga games on FB. don't remember giving permission for storage or cloud.

a couple of weeks ago i noticed a real slowdown when playing Zynga games on FB. opened task manager (XP) and saw plugin-container.exe running at 400,000+ k. ran search thru windows and found plugin-container for mozzila. checked and updated all plugins but issue persists. disabled each plugin seperately while playing, with task manager open and disabling shockwave was the only one that had effect on plugin running. unfortunately this also crashed the game. know its not your plugin but any advice or directions would be appreciated. ( my husband's solution is the simplest of course but i really enjoy my games!) Thanks for your time.

HT4314 How do I play Zynga games?

How do I play Zynga games?

Go to the App Store on your iPad and search for Zynga games. Some are free (but you have to watch advertisements after each move) and some need to be purchased.

Since updating Firefox I have problems with playing Zynga games

since updating Firefox I have problems with the Zynga games I am playing. The functions often stop working so I have to reboot the game. Also there are often a lot of items missing on my screen so I can't play at all

I have this problem, as well, since the upgrade to 4.0.1. After the upgrade, I found several 'Recovered Files' in my Trash. On taking a look, they all had to do with the Crowdstar app. Happy Aquarium, I believe, but there are several folders of them. Some of them could have to do with Zynga's FarmVille.
However, after repeated problems, I installed Chrome 10. to see if the Facebook apps. would work. They did, without problems. That tells me the folders in Trash shouldn't have anything to do with whether they operate or not but it has something to do with something Firefox has done, or not done, with this upgrade. Frankly, I'm baffled and more than a little annoyed. :/
However, thinking back to the upgrade, it happened suddenly while I was on the phone with AppleCare on another matter. It was they who suggested I needed to upgrade my browser and I did it immediately, on-the-spot. It wasn't what you would call a 'clean install' because I was on the phone but also online with AppleCare. The process went so fast, I remember there were things about the installation that didn't quite seem right and I do remember that the earlier version of Firefox was not removed prior to the upgrade. Is there any chance something could be out-of whack because of this? If so, I need to know how to save my passwords, bookmarks, profile, and any other critical info that would need to be transferred.

Firefox crashing when playing Zynga games (farmville, frontierville, farmtown, etc) and shuts down computer

See box below for example of error report. Flash is installed. Gateway Windows Vista. Is it a loading issue or needs more size added to Firefox while playing games? Shuts down Firefox and crashes computer.

Why do you have to keep adding new items to farm town when the servers you have cant cope now?? No wonder so many people left, but now i see you are adding new items to get them all back, well all my friends have stoped playing because of all the problems. The main problam i have is that i cant work on other people farms therefore i cant earn coins ect ect, I keep getting this bloody sign saying connection to server timed out please tick the tick to reload the game, and as you know thats the end of that job. Please get your servers sorted out before adding anymore new items, I usually use firefox but i have also used IE they are both the same makes no differance. Regards John

Will not load adobe flash, cannot play zynga games on facebook

when asked to download the new version of adobe flash player, the first 2 files work, system says download complete , but do not get the run box or step 4

'''''"...but do not get the run box or step 4""''''': Firefox does not have a "Run" option. What is "step 4"? Where are you getting your instructions? See if the download and install instructions below helps you.
There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
*an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
*a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
*On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
'''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''".
'''Install or update Adobe Flash''' 
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following direct download link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
#*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
#*The installation is quick.
#Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
#Direct link ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''': http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe

What are some decent PC games these days?

I played counterstrike, starcraft, and fifa online 2.
Please recommend me some games that I can play on my free time.
If you can convince me to get back on one of the three I mentioned above, by all means.

Although I'm I don't have a capable PC rig anymore I used to game on PC and am jealous of those that do. If I did, I would totally be playing Civilzation V, Skyrim, Mass Effect 3, or Dungeon Defenders to name a few. Some of those I play on my console but the graphics would just look awesome on PC and I do think there's something special about playing a shooter on a PC... not necessarily better or worse than consoles but I do feel like the mouse allows more precision aiming.

HT204053 I have problem using my Apple ID. I play the game hay day. I have problem buying what I need in the game.

Now I have a different Apple ID .but I want to use the one I have before. I update my ipad to the new iOS 7.0.2.the problem start.

I FOUND THE SOLUTION!
I had the same exact problem. I had my old apple ID connected to a school email which did not exist anymore. My ipad was prompting me to put the password in for that ID and I could not delete it from my ipad because the "Find My Ipad" was turned on, once again prompting for password. I called apple and they said this Apple no longer exists and is not in there system, which I knew already. After hours on the phone nobody could help me. Try this.
-Go to create a new Apple ID and use the same email address as the old apple ID which is locked in on your ipad
-Create a new password and all that, it will say it send a verification link to your email, in my case my email no longer exists so I could not do this
- I called Apple to explain this problem and I asked if they could verify it for me, which they did after I convinced them it was worth a try. The guy told me that the verification shouldnt matter and should still be able to login but he did it anyway. You can try skipping this step but if it doesn't work then go ahead.
-Go to ICloud and click on your account, the email should be grayed out but it should allow you to change that password, put in the new password which you just created.
-This allowed me to sign in to accept the new terms and conditions but it said "unable to conncet to server" so I just backed out and went to "Delete Account" and it worked!
The whole idea is to re-create your old apple ID into Apple's system and then use that new password. The guy at Apple said tons of people called about this problem and nobody could solve it. I thanked him for helping me and he thanked me for helping him. I hope this helps you!

Thank you for providing all the information.
The sound that you hear indicates a potential hardware problem. We may need to look at the Event Logs to see if Windows has recorded any information on what exactly is causing it.
You will need to open the Event Viewer, then find the recorded event at the time from the last emergency shutdown, then provide us with that information.

CANT PLAY ANY OF MY ZYNGA GAMES .. CAN U HELP?

ON FB WHEN I GO TO MY ZYNGA GAMES NONE OF THEM WILL LOAD.. I GET A SCREEN THAT SAYS LOAD ADOBE FLASH PLAYER WHICH I HAVE AND IT STILL WONT WORK. I AM GETTING VERY FUSTRATED. CAN U PLEASE HELP ME.. THANK YOU. DOBB

You might try going to game from Zynga website first, then connect to Facebook from there (backwards so to speak). I had a similar problem awhile back and believe that worked. I am assuming you are using same browser as you had been: changing browsers at update times can also cause problems but I recollect when I made that mistake, game just failed to load, sans any error message. Some of the Zynga games, like FarmVille, have had so many changes lately that any little thing throws them off. Oh - make sure the new version of Flashplayer is being allowed in (has permission) and that you DID delete the prior version and are, indeed, using the correct version (you can check at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/). I am on a Mac so run into lots of problems with the complex Zynga games as they utilize Java and need the Adoble Flashplayer, but Java and Adobe don't play well together. Oh, and if you get a partial load and hang, just keep reloading as each time it should load more and more until eventually you will have your entire game back. Hope this helps you - and make notes of any changes you might make in settings so you can easily reverse should it be necessary. FYI: The Zynga chat on-line help support people are quite helpful, too, and will usually give you free things for your game for your trouble - always nice.
