IS THERE A REPLACEMENT FORR ADOBE FLASH PLAYER

IS THERE A REPLACEMENT FOR THE ADOBE FLASH PLAYER

I wish someone would come up with an answer to the PPC mac - Flashplayer problem.
I am amazed Adobe and Apple have dropped support for all us PPC users.
I live in Spain and have just subscribed to a site which provides access to BBC iPlayer and ITV player but the problem with an out of date FlashPlayer rears it's ugly head yet again!
I have tried the FPforFBPPC plug-in which does help with playing vids in facebook but it doesn't work with ITV player. BBC iPlayer doesn't seem to use flash at all.
My PPC G5 mac is in good order and looks fab. Why should I be forced to throw it on the rubbish heap to satisfy Adobe and Apple? Hardly a 'green' move is it? I'm just so ****** off with it. Sorry. Rant over! ;-)

  • Is there a replacement for Adobe Flash Player?

    An Adobe vulnerability was recently used to access many U.S. Government sites including my own personal Information data, along with thousands of others. Is there any way to break the Adobe monopoly? For more info on the break in, see

    Thank you very much. It may take me some time to evaluate the Shumway project, but I truly appreciate the opportunity you have provided me.

  • Is there an alternative to adobe flash player for the iPad?

    Is there an alternative to adobe flash player for the ipad2?

    No - flash is not supported, and probably never will be (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ and Adobe havn't created a version that works on iOS anyway).
    Browsers such as Skyfire, iSwifter, and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but not all judging by the reviews. You might also find that some sites (especially news sites) have their own apps on the app store which let you get some of the content that you want.

  • Is there a workaround for adobe flash player .

  • What can I use to see sports on itv? Is there a substitute to Adobe Flash player?

    I am unable to watch ITV Sports because it will not allow Adobe Flash player. Is there an alternative player?

    If a site is written using flash then unless they've written a non-flash version, no. Apps such as Skyfire claim to support flash, but their reviews are mixed. Also a number of websites (especially news sites) have their own apps in the App Store so you could check if they've got an app.

  • Is there an alternative for adobe flash player that I can get on iPhone

    I can't use adobe flash player in safari is there anything I can use that will work the same

    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.
    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.
    Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
    Puffin
    SkyFire
    Photon Flash
    Browse2Go
    iSwifter
    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."

  • Adobe Flash player now demands installation of McAfee Security Scan, is there an alternative to Adobe Flash player?

    I do not want ant McAfee products installed on my system but now it seems that Adobe Flash player goes hand in hand with McAfee Security Scan, you can't have one without the other. What on earth are Adobe up to and are there any other options? Thank you.

    You can download without mcaffe, jus uncheck the '''Optional offer'''

  • Is there an alternative to adobe flash player

    talking to admin would be good, getting an answer would be good,

    For Flash content (SWF or FLV), there is no alternative.
    Web designers are switching to HTML5 video, (MP4) which uses no plug-in, but for "legacy" content, end users will still require Flash Player.

  • How do I set Adobe Flash Player as the default program to open SWF files?

    Basic Overview
    I have this working fine at my home laptop, however I need this working for projects at school.
    Whenever I want to open an SWF file at home, I simply double click it and open it in Adobe Flash Player (Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22) and I have no problems!
    However, when I am at school I have to run SWF files within Internet Explorer, Adobe Flash Player IS installed, but the SWF files are not opened in that directly, they are opened within Internet Explorer.
    At Home
    If I right click an SWF file at home and select "Open With" and then "Choose Default Program...", Adobe Flash Player is already there under the name 'Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22', so I can simply select it as the default. (On my home laptop)
    At School
    At school if go to "Open With" and then "Choose Default Program...", Adobe Flash Player IS NOT there, only Internet Explorer and some other programs in the other programs box. (On my school laptop)
    Question
    How can I assign Adobe Flash Player as the default program for opening SWF files (on my school laptop)? If I select "Browse..." and go to C:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash there is no file with a description of 'Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22', is the file for the actual program located somewhere else or have I just no looked properly in the folder?
    I really need these files opening in Adobe Flash Player directly and not in Internet Explorer (I know you can set the view to 100% and have it sized correctly)
    Thanks you to everyone who helps!
    -Charlie! (Yes I know I don't need to write this in a forum)

    The standard Flash Player is a browser add-on, and not a standalone player.  So what actually opens when you open an SWF file at home?  Flash Player Projector?
    If so, you also need to download it at your school, from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, then do the file association.

  • Adobe Flash Player (General install error) *****! Mach_Kernal missing?

       Never had a problem updating Adobe Flash Player over the last maybe 10 times, It downloads to 50% and then bottoms out with a (general install error) message. So the I uninstalled and tried to re-install to no avail.
      I don't know if I updated since updating to 10.8.5 but I read that the (Mach_Kernal) was found on people's (Documents) folder and some people deleted this but I don't remember if I ever got this when I updated. This was a blunder when updating to 10.8.5 and Apple was aware of it.
      If that file isn't there is will cause Adobe Flash Player to fail.
      I tried several Sudo commmands in Terminal to find the invisible (Mach_Kernel) file but when I type that in it just comes up with a message (No such thing found) Then I tried another Sudo command which would install it if it was missing and it comes up with the same thing (no such file or directory found).
      Anyone know where this file resides and what folder it's in and can direct me exactly how to get to it to find out if it's still on my machine? As I said the Sudo commands came up with no results.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Thanks for your responses!

    I don't know what you mean by clone your setup. Exactly what the whole OS? on an external drive. I do have an external drive but don't know how to back up the whole OS.
    You use a separate partition (much preferably on a different physical drive) to make an exact copy of your current startup drive. At any time, you can choose to boot to it. Time Machine is a nice idea in that it automatically keeps various iterations of your data for you so you can go back to older versions of a document and such, but is (in my personal opinion) the clumsiest way possible to restore a hard drive.
    You can create a clone with Disk Utility, SuperDuper!, or Carbon Copy Cloner. The last two are third party apps which can perform extra abilities to make clone backups easier. I use the registered version of SuperDuper! myself, but CCC works just as well.
    Once you make a clone of your startup drive, it is just what it implies. You have an exact copy of whatever drive you clone to another drive/partition. So instead of going through the very roundabout way of restoring a drive by reinstalling the OS and attaching a Time Machine backup to the reinstall on the fly, you simply boot to your clone and copy it back. Done. Takes way, WAY less time to get back up and running.
    But if I do a re-install from that it'll bring back my lost stuff but will also bring back the old crap again. So what good would it do.
    Yes, that could be an issue, but at least you'd be back to your last Time Machine backup state.
    Plus No! I searched the App store and OS X Mountain Lion woulnd't even come up.
    Open the App Store app and click on Store > View My Account. Click on the Manage link to unhide redownloadable purchases. Unhide Mountain Lion so it appears under the Purchases tab again.
    Where did you read that Apple fixed this 10.8.5 Kernal problem?
    A few users noted it on these forums about a week after the bug was noticed. They said the 10.8.5 update and full download of ML were fixed. I haven't checked it myself. It's very easy to properly hide the mach_kernel file if necessary.
    Enter this in Terminal, or copy/paste the line below into Terminal:
    sudo chflags hidden /mach_kernel
    It will then ask for your admin password to complete the command. After that, the kernel should be hidden.
    Well it wouldn't do me any good if I brought it back from Time Machine because the error is in the back up.
    Yes, that is what would happen. I don't think you have any control over an OS/Time Machine reinstall. You will always be put back at your last backup state.
    Furthemore if it's in your past purchases (You should't have to pay for it)! Why would I pay for it when it's in my past purchases with a download button?
    You absolutely should not have to. Once purchased, it's yours. I've got Lion and Mountain Lion on bootable USB drives I made from the downloads. I can boot my Mac to those at any time and reinstall the OS. I'm going to do the same thing with Mavericks, just haven't done it yet.

  • Can anyone help me with Adobe Flash Player?

    I can't install/run this new Adobe Flash Player with my OS and it's drivin' me nuts!

    I clicked on the link again http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and under Platform there's Windows, next to that is Browser with a line of text that starts out with Internet Explorer typed in as a link and say further (and other browsers that support Internet Explorer ActiveX controls and plug-ins). Then under Player version, 11.1.102.55. I think that I'm supposed to click on the highlighted link 'Internet Explorer' to change it from the Platform being Macintosh - OS. Ya think?
    Above that there are two paragraphs:
    Adobe Flash Player is the standard for delivering high-impact, rich Web content. Designs, animation, and application user interfaces are deployed immediately across all browsers and platforms, attracting and engaging users with a rich Web experience.
    The table below contains the latest Flash Player version information. Adobe recommends that all Flash Player users upgrade to the most recent version of the player through the Player Download Center to take advantage of security updates. For detailed system requirements (e.g. browser, operating system, and hardware), see Tech specs.
    Way to many options for me to decide what to do next.

  • How to keep Adobe Flash Player up to date on 100 computers?

    I would like to keep 100 computers updated to the latest Adobe Flash Player version when a new version is launched. The users do not have administrative privileges to install software and Adobe Flash Player cannot be updated automatically. There are cases when Adobe Flash Player disappears after a new version is launched.
