Issues with installing flash player

My computer tells me that I can't install flash player because the security settings won't let me. When I go into modify the security settings, there's nothing there. How do I "turn on" the security settings so that I can choose to enable or disable things?

Without any information at all, it is quite impossible to help you.
What is your operating system?
What is your browser?
How do you install Flash Player?
What part of your computer tells you about security settings, and what is the exact message?

Firefox 3.6.23 having freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin

Firefox 3.6.23 is experiencing constant freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin, not sure if it is a conflict issue or not.
Since the update there had been no reported issues till today when the blue screen came up on me, this issue prior to plug in 11 had occurred at least 6 times, this issue only happens on firefox.
I do not wish to update since recent firefox browsers seem to have a lot of ongoing issues.

Anyone able to help please?
Thanks.

Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser

Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser.
WIN 7 enterprise 32 bit / Firefox 19.0.2 /
Internal company website keeps giving attached screen shot error, and hangs the browser when error pops up.
Steps taken:
Uninstalled Adobe Flash player with the file “uninstall_flash_player.exe”
Deleted provided directory in instructions
"Copy and paste the following and click OK.
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
Delete all the files in this folder."
Rebooted PC and reinstalled the flash player directly from “http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html”
Re launched company website and received same error.
Repeated above steps as well as uninstalled Firefox browser. Even went so far as to remove all profile information to start fresh from all profiles on the laptop with the same results.
Note: The web page will work without the flash player plugin, and my page doesn’t hang the browser. Required to open page in FireFox per company policy.

I'm sorry you're encountering this. Could you paste a few of the most recent report ID links displayed when you go to "about:crashes" in the Firefox address bar?
As for workarounds, the first thing I'd suggest is trying our 11.7 labs release which you can get here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html
If that doesn't help, please try the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue.
Thanks,
Chris

Problem with installing Flash player 14 in my Macbook Pro

I tried to install Flash player 14 in my Macbook Pro, however, it stuck at "retrieving install" screen, it is supposed to be a new version, anybody has the same problem?

Yes same issue. I even tried chatting with adobe support but they did not help as I am not a paid subscriber. I have seen many others with the same issue. I hope adobe is aware of this. am trying to contact them.

Help with installing Flash Player 10.1 in IE7

Hello All -
I have been having issues installing Flash Player 10.1 in IE7. I have pretty much tried everything to install this into IE7. I was able to install Flash Player 10.1 in Firefox with no issues at all. I have tried to install it through the Adobe Download Manager - it downloads to 100% and then I receive a Error:Installation failed message under Progress. I also tried to install Flash Player through the manual installer - I run that install file and then receive the error that says "The ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered. In the Troubleshoot Flash Player installation page on Adobe - I have tried every single remedy that they list under this error message but to no avail. Any ideas? I am running Windows XP SP3 and IE7. I also tried IE8 earlier in the day with the same result so just downgraded back to IE7.
Thanks
Pat

I tried all solutions but one posted in adobe support. I am local administrator but IE security settings are set by group policies and buttons in tools security setting are grayed out.
After three days with "The ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered" message I tried registering the activeX control manually.
Bingo! that made the trick.
So open a DOS window, type "regsvr32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx" -first check if this directory exists and contains the Flash10d.ocx (no quotes needed) and you should receive a confirmation that it registered correctly.
I must say that I've tried so many ways that I cannot repeat the correct order before this has worked ;-(
Hope it works for you all

Issue with Firefox & Flash Player Installation

This topic has probably already been brought up but I need
some help, please! I can't seem to find anything that matches
exactly what I'm going though here.
Yesterday I did a clean install of Vista. (I had some missing
.dll files for some reason). I re-installed Firefox, and went
through with all the Windows updates, etc. and everything has been
fine. Today, I have been trying to install Flash Player through
Firefox (Flash player is working fine on IE). It goes through the
motion of downloading it from the Adobe site, and it also states
that the download is complete, but when I go to a website such as
Facebook, it's giving me a couple of messages. The actual site's
message is: "Flash Player upgrade required. You must download and
install the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player to view this
content." as well as I get the yellow bar up top from Firefox
saying, "Additional plugins are required to display all the media
on this page" and has a button to click saying "Install missing
plugins". When I click on either this button or the "Download
Flash" button on the actual webpage, again, it goes through the
motion of downloading it, but that's as far as it goes. In my
"downloads" window, it shows a bunch of times that I had downloaded
the flash player, but it doesn't even give me the option to open
the file.
Up until yesterday, I did in fact have flash on Firefox.
Another thing I noticed, was when I re-installed Firefox, the
download scheme is a little different (I don't have the download
box at the bottom of the window anymore and I'm not sure why or if
this is just a new version of Firefox that I didn't have before.)
In any event, when I would save the flash player during the
download, I tried a couple of different locations (desktop and
another location in C drive) but when I go to those locations,
there is nothing there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was having the same problem installing Flash 10 for Firefox
and getting the "Insufficient Disk Space" message. I believe this
happens to people whose main local disks have a name other than
"C:" Mine is "G:" I think the problem is that its an install
package that automatically tries to install it on a C: local disk
directory. There is no option to manually install it to a different
directory, so we seem to be out of luck.
However, I did find a link explaining how to manually install
it:
http://www.varesano.net/blog/fabio/installing+flash+player+plugin+firefox+without+having+a dministrator+access+or+premissions
At step 1. Right click the link and choose "Save Link As" and
delete the ".xpi" extension and type ".zip" to save the file as a
".zip" file.
Even though the instructions are for a different problem, I
followed the steps and it worked fine for my problem as
well.

Issues with IE Flash Player

This week I have started seeing issues with swf files
published in version 7 (well behind the current version) when
viewed in IE 7 browsers. Fonts are missing (for static text),
opacities are rendered incorrectly and layering is often discarded.
I suspect that Microsoft has their own version of a swf player due
to their recent attempts to create their own flash authoring
environment (or so I've heard). My issue was resolved by upgrading
(explicitly) the Adobe Flash player but the problem is that IE 7 is
no help to the user; it won't try to help the user get the right
player like Firefox does. Is there a sniffer or other code to
override whatever ridiculousness is happening with IE? Any ideas or
theories on what is really happening?

That sounds like you have an older Flash Player installed

That is not at all the case. they have no Flahs Player and
they have no
Flash authoring tool.

Yes .. its up to the web site HTLM to say what version is
required. There
are flash detection kits availale for web site authors to do
this.

Issue with Adobe Flash Player- Help

I used to be able to use my webcam! I downloaded the Adobe Flash Player and now I can't use it anywhere!
I am unable to see the Privacy pop-up allowing me to Allow or Deny access to my camera & microphone.
Then when I get to the settings on one site, I see only 3 tabs: Display, Microphone & Camera.
Help?
I have it clicked on my built in iSight.
Before I downloaded the it I clicked on USB Video Class Video and it worked. Now that doesn't even show up!

Since it is nothing to do with FMS and looks like more of a flash player issue - it would be good if you post your query here : http://forums.adobe.com/community/webplayers/flash_player

Issue with latest Flash Player version when replaying videos

I am using an older version of JWplayer "5.10.2295" in a lot of sites and it was working fine so far. Since the latest version of Flash Player came out the videos can't be played a second time on any browser on Windows. It is working fine for me on Mac - quickly tested in Firefox (Nightly) and Safari (latest stable).
Reverting to an older version showed that everything was working fine before. I tried the latest 13 and 14 from Archived Flash Player versions
Has this kind of issue been reported already? Any change in the upcoming beta that might fix this?
Thanks,
Albert

I uninstalled FP following the steps on Uninstall Flash Player | Windows and installed 'flashplayer15_install_win_pi/ax/ppapi.exe' from Download Adobe Flash Player 15 Beta for Desktops - Adobe Labs instead.

Having difficulties with installing Flash Player on Mac 10.5.8

I am running Mac 10.5.8 with the most recent version of Firefox and am unable to install Adobe Flash Player. I have tried uninstalling the previous versions of flash and have even used the Adobe Flash Uninstaller tool for mac to make sure everything is removed. I have verified that the new 11.1 Flash version has installed and Safari and Chrome both recognize it as being installed. However, on Firefox I just keep receiving the message " Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page". Additionally, I have tried multiple versions of Firefox downgrading all the way to 3. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try to disable the message " Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page" to see if this is the problem, in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config About:config] modify '''plugins.hide_infobar_for_missing_plugin''' to '''true'''
type in the address bar '''about:config'''
then press the button''' i'll be careful i promise'''
then type in the bar '''plugins.hide_infobar_for_missing_plugin'''
then '''double-click''' on it, to make it '''TRUE'''
exit firefox and restart-it.
See for info : [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugins.hide_infobar_for_missing_plugin Plugins.hide infobar for missing plugin]
if this does not work you can change it again it the default FALSE.
thanks again

You can download the offline installer here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg
Then you just have to mount the DMG and run it.
