Mac and Adobe Flash Player problem.

For some unknown reason my Macbook has started to uninstall or lose the Adobe Flash Player all by itself !
I can be using the Flash Player and then sometimes close down or just exit the programme and when I come back to use it later it is not there ! It just doesn't work. I have to reinstall again and then all is OK for a while....until it happens again. It has only started doing this recently.
Nothing has changed, laptop is OK with everything else, apple updates all uptodate,permissions in utility regularly reset etc.
Any ideas ??
Thanks
Brian

It's still doing this un-install thing !!!
No ideas anyone ??

Problems with Explorer and Adobe Flash Player

I have downloaded the new Flash Player, but now it doesn't work at all in Explorer-I download it again, and it says "Installation Successful", but when I go to Youtube, the message says I need Adobe Flash Player. Can anyone help?

Its a browser specific issue. Try a different browser like chrome or firefox, it should work.
For fixing IE, lets follow below suggestions :
Run the Flash Player Uninstaller as applicable for your machine(i.e.Windows or MAC) and remove flash player.
For Windows : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
Restart the machine.
Download and Re-install Flash Player.
Restart the browser and check.

Adobe Flash Player Problem: "Movie Not Loaded"

new user to mac.
i'm getting more and more frustrated with this computer.
what's bugging me the most right now is
i am unable to view videos on certain websites.
rather than showing the content,
a white box appears.
when i right click on the white box,
it says "movie not loaded" (in gray) and adobe flash player 9 (in black).
i can't click on the gray line.
when i click on the black line, it brings me to the adobe website and tells me adobe flash player 9 has been successfully installed.
i am fairly sure this has nothing to do with heavy traffic.
any insights on how to resolve this issue?
cheers.

Adobe Flash Player Problem
http://www.adobeforums.com

I recently installed Java 6 update 33, and adobe flash player 11 plugin, and now can't play any videos from any website in Mozilla, but Google Chrome works.

Cannot play any video from any website in Mozilla after installing Java 6 update 33, and adobe flash player 11 plugin. However, I can play videos from Google Chrome and also from Internet Explorer. For example, when I'm trying to play a you tube video in Mozilla, a black screen comes up with following error message: "An error has occurred. Please try again later."
(This is like the Wizard of Oz -- when the man comes to the little window in the door and says to Dorothy, "Come back tomorrow." )

This may be caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update.

Google Chrome and adobe flash player

Hi,
I'm having an issue with adobe flash player well when I downloaded google chrome it came with the html 5 player. which I do not have any problems with. However when I go to run you tube videos with html 5 player it only allows me to play them out of 2 of my 4 speakers. I can only hear sound out of my front 2 so I got the plugin that disables the html 5 player and reverts back to the adobe flash player. I have the latest version of Adobe flash on my computer I deleted adobes caching files and different things Like that I only have 1 version of adobe flash when I go into the plugins section of google chrome. So I'm not really sure what to do I know that Internet explorer plays fine when running you tube videos or any online videos. I can hear sound out of all 4 speakers. So I have to assume it's something with Google chrome and Adobe flash player.
Thanks Kinnyr90

I did try to uninstall and reinstall. It messed up my computer. I had to "RESTORE" from the prior days backup. This was not helpful at all. I'm used to losing all my stuff when I connect to iTunes, that's a whole other issue, but now I'm completely banned from any updates to my phone at all. Geeze.......

IE 10 vs Adobe reader XI and Adobe flash player 11 keeps asking to update flash player

Today, I got fed up with chrome and uninstalled it. I then installed IE 10. I also installed adobe reader XI (11.0.02) and adober flash player 11.
Both installed successfully!
However, when trying to view short videos I keep getting the message that I need to update flashplayer.
So what is going on? Do I need to revert back to IE 9?????????
I am running windows 7 on and HP decktop.

Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX and Adobe Flash Player Plugin

Windows 7 64bit / IE8
I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX and Adobe Flash Player Plugin thinking they would be reinstalled together when I installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
Now I only see the entry for Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX 10.2.159.1 listed in - Uninstall or change a program.
I was wondering how to get the Adobe Flash Player Plugin?
Thanks.

These are the files listed in the folder.
Flash10p.ocx
FlashInstall.log
FlashUtil10p_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil10p_AciveX.exe
I originally uninstalled Flash Player 10 ActiveX and the Flash Player Plugin
thinking they would both be reinstalled with the newer version. When I installed
the newer version of Flash Player 10 ActiveX I noticed the Plugin was missing
and wondered what happened to it. I didn't know it needed to be downloaded
seperatly and I also didn't know what it was for exactly. As it is right now
everything works and since I'm not using any other browser - downloading
the Plugin isn't required. At least now I have an idea what the Plugin it was
intended for and know it's not needed.
Thank You.

I have updated version of Mozilla Firefox 25.0 And adobe flash Player also latest version but every time adobe crush what to do

i have updated version of Mozilla Firefox 25.0 And adobe flash Player also latest version but every time adobe crush what to do

This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common issues with the Flash Player plugin. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:
(1) If you have any recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media make sure they are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them temporarily.
(2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
(3) Disable protected mode (Windows Vista and higher)
See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
Any luck?

Chrome windows 7 do i need both adobe plugin 10 and adobe flash player 11 active x

using chrome, windows 7 do i need adobe air, adobe plugin 10 and adobe flash player 11 active x? or is that why i am constantly getting a shockwave crashed message?

If you have any AIR apps, you will need the AIR runtime; latest version is 14.0.0.110.
"adobe plugin 10" means nothing; what program is it referring to?
Flash Player 11 is outdated; the current version is 14.0.0.145.

How to solve problem related to svchost and Adobe flash player 11.6 r602 failing to work?

Hi...
I have been consistently facing a serious problem regarding the firefox I use. It's Firefox 20.0.1. I use Windows 7 and I have 8 gb of Ram.
The problem is after I launch Firefox two dialogue boxes appear in quick succession one telling that "svchost.exe has stopped working" and another is telling about "Adobe Flash Player 11.6 r602 has stopped working". The firefox immediately stops working and I have to use the task manager to close the program...even resort to restart the computer sometimes.
Please tell me solution applying which I can get out of this problem.
Thanks
Sam

Try updating to Flash 11.7, then Reset Firefox [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

Safari 6.0.2 and adobe flash player update problem

I am having problems installing the current version of adobe flash player. Whenever I try and view a video from a site that requires it (eg. youtube, etc.), it says I need to update adobe flash player and sends me to a link to do so. I've installed flash player "successfully" several times, deinstalled it and reinstalled it, re-downloaded it, but I'm always getting the message to update flash player. Can anyone help with some suggestions to get this working corectly?
I am running osx 10.8.2 and safari 6.0.2.
Thanks very much. Ron

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
3. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
4. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
