Keep getting prompted to install flash player 8, even though flash 10 is already installed.

Hi, I've made a flash file (mac, Flash 5.5) and exported the .html. .swf and .js file with settings to Flash player 8.
My viewers on a PC (Firefox 8 on XP) keep getting asked to download Flash player 8 even though they already have Flash 10 installed.
I've even unticked the 'check for flash version' option in the publish settings, but the users still get asked to update to player 8.
Our average user is using a PC with IE 6 or 7.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

You are more likely to get an answer if you ask in the Flash forum (this is the Flash Player forum).

  • After a tryout with AdBlock, the videos on Facebook, on BBC and on some others websites stopped working and there's always a message asking me to install the latest version of the Flash Player. Even though it's already installed. How can I fix that?

    After a tryout with AdBlock, the videos on Facebook, on BBC and on some others websites stopped working and there's always a message asking me to install the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player. Even though it's already installed the situation remains the same since the last month.
    Can I fix that just doing the upgrade for the Yosemite?

    Well, after hours of trying to figure it out I gave up and un-installed and re-installed that last verion of Adobe Flash Player and now it seems I can play games again in Messenger. Everything else had been fine just that. I can only figure it was because it was having a hard time updating the first time and took me 3 tries. So even though it said it was installed, apparently it wasn't done correctly.
    Though when I couldn't figure out what was wrong at first I looked and checked to see all the things were enabled that were supposed to be and they were.
    I even tried to go to the Adobe site and download the last version I had and couldn't find it. Kept coming up with the new version. Others said if you download a particular older version it may not have all the security features in it.
    This really gets to be a bit much, especially when you're by yourself and have only a smattering of knowledge of technical things.
    Thanks fore responding to my question.

    i have mac 10.6.8 and safari 5.1.10. on checking help website i am told latest flash player 16.0.0.305 is already installed BUT does not appear on my list of applications and am unable to access websites requiring it. have also downloaded flash player installer app but unable to download the flash player itself. can anyone help? thank you!

    Hi Anne,
    Your version of Safari is still supported.  Please see Adobe Flash Player | Tech specs for supported OS and browsers.
    If the Flash Player plugin is in the Plug-ins (disabled) folder it's because it's an older version that Apple has disabled in Safari.  This has nothing to do with whether or not Flash Player supports the browser.
    I'm not sure what you mean by "when i click on flash player itself i am told there is no application to open it."  Flash Player.plugin only works in the browser to view Flash content in the browser.  The plugin does not open files outside of the browser.  If you have SWF files you'd like to view outside of the browser, then you'll need the Flash Player projector. However, based on your previous comments this doesn't appear to be what you are trying to do.
    Google Chrome does embed Flash Player in it, while Firefox does not.   Mozilla has also recently started blocking older versions of Flash Player in Firefox similar to what Apple is doing in Safari.
    Following the 'clean install' instructions should result in you having the latest version of Flash Player installed that will not be blocked by the browser.

    I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
    By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
    Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

  • I have several users in an exchange environment who cannot email a photo from the iPhone.  When the click on Email Photo, they are prompted to configure a mail account even though there is already an exchange account in place.  How do I remediate this?

    I have several users in an exchange environment who cannot email a photo from the iPhone.  When the click on Email Photo, they are prompted to configure a mail account even though there is already an exchange account in place.  How do I remediate this?  Not all of the users in our environment have this issue.  If the users having this issue, install a secondary email account, Gmail, Hotmail, etc, then they can send through those accounts.  Why would the exchange account not be seen to send photos?

    Sounds like it worked until the policies associated with the account that are creating the problem were fully pushed down.
    Try setting up a new (test) Exhange account and see if it behaves the same way on the phone (after removing the problem account from the phone, of course).

    when trying to send a photo via email, I am prompted to setup an email account even though email is already setup.  What would cause this?  Better yet, how do I fix it?

    I have checked this on my device.  I see a Default account under Messages created outside of Mail will be sent from the default account.  There is an account selected, though it does not show my exchnage account.  If it is only an exchange accout, can that not be used for this?

  • Why doesn't flash player work even though I've downloaded it and enabled it?

    flash player was already download to my computer when i bought it. it has been working fine for about a year but it suddenly stopped working about 4 weeks ago? I've tried searching up whats happening but nearly all the websites say it would be because flash player is disabled but i followed the steps time after time only finding it to be enabled. no one seems to the have answer? please help! i've already spent hours trying to made it work again and I'm getting frustrated!
    i have a 64-bit operating system windows 8
    and i forgot what else i needed to put

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

  • T-bird is stuck on a msg in my main email account. I keep getting that msg over and over again even though it says there are 200+ msg waiting to be received.

    I have t-bird installed on both my desktop and laptop. The laptop is working fine. They were both running 24.6.0 until I updated the version on my desktop today after the problem occurred to 31.1.2. It still doesn't work. I keep getting the same message over and over again even though it's telling me that there are 200+ messages waiting to be delivered. This can't be an ISP problem as my laptop is on the same network and as I said, is working fine. The differences are: desktop running win 7 64 bit and laptop running win 7 32 bit.

    I gave up and went back to your original suggestion. I edited the popstate file and added a delete record for the msg that I kept getting over and over. The format was d longassid 0
    The single 0 for the timestamp is what I didn't know before. When I polled again, the record was deleted and the rest of my new messages downloaded.
    Thanks again for your help. Without it, I would still be scratching my head.

  • Apps have install option even though they are already installed!

    I'm talking about just the iLife Apps. I erased/installed OS X 10.8 on my mac mini and instead of using the app store to download the 3 iLife apps, I used my old iLife DVD so I can install iDVD (which I still use). Any tips on how to get rid of this annoying problem and have GarageBand, iMove and iPhoto show as update instead of install.  It's like it doesn't see they are already installed!
    Any help appreciated.

    Getting rid ot that irksome number. 
    You could try reindexing your HD.   The MAS uses the Spotlight indexing in determining what apps need updating.   Go to Systems Preferences / Spotlight/ Privacy; add your Hdd to the list then remove it from that list.   Spotlight will then reindex your HD.

  • Everytime I get on the internet it takes 5mins or more, and when it finally loads the thanks for installing firefox and thanks for installing personas pages are up even though I've already installed and used both.

  • Keeps asking me to accept Terms and conditions even though I've already agreed to them

    Since the new update everytime it keeps repeatdly asking me to accept new terms and conditions on my iphone, although I've already agreed to them. I can't update any of my apps.

    Based on the number of threads showing up on this topic, there appears to be a problem on Apple's side. You are just going to have to try later. It won't last forever....
