Mac IOS Flash Player updated installed but not detected

I have repeatedly installed the new version of FlashPlayer when prompted over the past few days. My computere shows the installation as successful, but it's not working. I've visited the Adobe Troubleshooting page, and it does not detect the installation, although my finder show the program as installed. My computer is compatible with the new version, although I'm running an older IOS - Snow Leopoard ( 10.6.8) I've reinstalled several times following all directions - uninstalled old version, unblocked pop-ups, disabled fierwall.
VERY frustrating!
What do I do?
Thanks!

Snow Leopard is not iOS... iOS is an iPhone, an iPad or an iPod Touch. And there has never been a Flash Player for iOS, because Apple made iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touch incompatible with Flash Player right from the start.
You probably need to do a "clean install": How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X

Flash Player 11 installed but not detected in IE 8 or IE 9

Windows 7 Professional 32 bit OS.
Com registration is correct as we can load shockwave into an exe.
Flash Player 11 is installed and can be detected via Firefox but not via IE 8 or IE9.
Performed all the trouble shooting steps including Active X filtering and Enabling.
Used IE Development tools including profiling and compatibility without any success.
Uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times using the Adobe uninstaller at
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html#main_Download_t he_Adobe_Flash_Player_uninstaller.
Registry appears correct.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
No errors are appearing.

I've been trying to reproduce this for the last few weeks but so far have been unable to. If I understand you correctly, when you go to this page:
http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/testsuite_2_2/test_dynamic_multiple.html
You're seeing the alternate content (most likely prompts to update/install flash) for all 4 blocks? Do you have any idea what I could be missing and why I can't reproduce this?
Thanks,
Chris

Flash Player 10 installed but not woking

I have spent hours and hours trying to solve this issue on my own from all the adobe forums and forums on other websites about this issue. Still can't get FP to work and I need it working ASAP for my on-line college classes. Getting very desperate and would be incredibly grateful for a solution if anyone can help.
Note: Just before writing this I uninstalled FP active X via control panel and rebooted. The files are still in macromed as listed here, but I have uninstalled FP for a(NOTHER) fresh start.
Here's are the notes I have so far after seeing/trying help on other posts...
Flash player was working now every time I need to use FP it tells me to install but it is already installed.
Program does not show under Start, All Programs but it does show in the Control Panel uninstall list.
I don’t remember exactly when FP stopped working, but I’m not sure I’ve been doing much recently that would have required it, so may be longer than I think. Probably relatively recently though.
I have searched and searched for answers in the forums so I’ve tried several things people suggested, still not working.
Wondering if the problem is this….the ActiveX control is not showing in Manage Add-ons even though I clicked to install it when installing FP.
SYSTEM INFO:
Vista 32 bit
IE 8
Foxfire 3.6.8
Shockwave Player ver. 11.5
Norton 360 ver. 4.2.0
Google toolbar ver. 4.0 w/pop-up blocker enabled
I am the Administrator and only user on my laptop
What I’ve tried so far:
Adobe website shows FP video that it was successfully installed right after, but I just tested again and the Adobe site says to view content I JavaScript enabled and need FP installed. FP is installed however, and still not working.
Tested Shockwave Player through Adobe site and it says it’s installed and working
Checked to ensure Shockwave Flash Object & Java were enabled in IE tools, managae add-ons
Checked that no older versions of Java were installed
IE Security Level to medium
Uninstalled Adobe Flash Player, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted (a few times)
Uninstalled, rebooted, installed through cnet’s downloads
Checked for updates for IE, Foxfire, Flash Player, Adobe Reader, & Java
Files listed under acromed folder:
            Flash10i.ocx
            FlashInstall (text doc)
            FlashUtil10i_ActiveX.dll
            FlashUtil10i_ActiveX
            Install (text doc)
Ok, think that's all I have at the moment. Please oh please, someone help me before I throw myself out the window!

Thank you so much for your time! Okay, I think I have what you need, if I understood it all correctly. Here goes...
I just installed FP again, did not get the video showing on Adobe site that it was successful even though the download said it was.
Uninstalled using Adobe uninstaller, then tried install once more with the same result.
The macromed Flash folder still has the same files as listed before:
Flash10i.ocx
FlashInstall (text doc)
FlashUtil10i_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil10i_ActiveX
install (text doc)
In Control Panel I see:
Adobe Download Manager
Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX
Adobe Reader 9.3.4
Adobe Shockwave Player 11/5
Showing & enabled in IE Add-ons:
get_atlcom Class
Shockwave Flash Object
Adobe PDF Link Helper
Adobe PDF Reader
The Active X Control for Flash Player is not listed in IE
Don’t see any relevant add-ons in Firefox. BTW, I don’t usually use FF and only downloaded it again because I’d read that FP was working for some people in FF when it wasn’t in IE. So, if we don’t get FF working with FP I’m good with that.
No NPSWF files in the Flash folder for me to right click.
Can't give you any version numbers.
Did I miss anything?

Flash Player X installed but not working (6MB file instead of 15MB)

I installed version 11 Active X 11.5.502.135 BUT it is only 6MB file and should be 15MB so it does not play videos. It did not hang up during installation (download timeout) but went right ahead and installed but it cannot be the full deal. I have unistalled older versions and started fresh but no go. Can anyone help please?

Thanks for looking at my problem Pat.
1) In the list of programs in the control panel. The Flash Player file
is 6MB but in the Adobe site
download button it says the file size is 15MB.
/Name/___/ Publisher Installed        Size             Version/_
Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX        Adobe Systems Inc. 12/11/2012
6MB       11.5.502.135
I thought maybe it is only partially downloaded or partially installed.
2) I should say nothing plays. I get this screen always:
The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback.
Get the latest Flash Player <http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/>
What do you think?
Thanks again,
Dave Dawson

Adobe Flash Player 10 installed but not running

I installed Adobe Flash Player 10 from the adobe site, and it said that it installed successfully, but when I try to watch videos on facebook or youtube it says I need to download flash player. I tried installing it again, but the install window just popped up again and said it was already installed. I restarted my computer several times, but flash player still won't run. I need help please!!!!

Hi, ok. I'll give you the instructions that you need to follow. Now McAfee must be Disabled otherwise it will block the Install of that Shockwave Flash Object. In addition to Disabling it, you will have to check it at certain steps in the process, since it will re-enable itself and block the Install.
First, some pre-Un/In steps to take. Go to Tools, Internet Options and make sure Security is set to Medium for the Internet Zone. You can do this now. Next, take a look in the system tray and know how to disable any applications that use Flash(messenger services, etc.)
Download the Uninstaller and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download the Flash Player Installer for Internet Explorer and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Disable any apps in system tray that would use Flash
Disable McAfee
Close all browsers, you'll just be looking at the Desktop
RUN the Uninstaller. When it is finished, Reboot(restart) your computer. Allow it to fully Reboot. Then check McAfee for all of the components that you Disabled to make sure it did not re-enable. Then Reboot again(to clear out old files) Then check McAfee again.(If McAfee has re-enabled either time you check, then Disable as you did before)
When fully Rebooted, RUN the Installer for Internet Explorer. Reboot Once.
Now Re-enable your McAfee if needed; since it may have already re-enabled after that Reboot..
You may want to print this out so it will be easier to follow. When you are finished, go to the test site and post back the results.
Then go to the add ons and see if the Shockwave Flash Object is now Installed and Enabled.
Let me know if you have any questions.

My flash player is installed but not working?

I have the Adobe Flash Player 9.0 Installed, but when i open
games that require it. They say i don't have Flash 8.0 or higher
would i like to install, I then hit yes and it gets 1/4 of the way
through stops and says i don't have access to install it goto the
website and install it. I've done that and it's installed
completely. Help?

James j,
You have a different problem. Your screenshot shows "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed".
See [[Plugin crash reports]] and [[The adobe Flash plugin has crashed]]. If you need more help you should [[ask a question|ask a new question]] (start a new thread).

How do I get Flash Player update installed?

When trying to install an update to Flash Player update it tells me it can not install with Mozilla Fire Fox. Also, tells me I have it already but I do not. Also, tells me to uninstall Exlorer, Fire Fox and Adobe before installing. Can you please just tell the 1 -2- 3 of installation of Adobe Flash Player.

I did that a bunch of times. I also deleted it rebooted and installed flash and it still won't work. Some sites I have flash but most don't. I think I would like to go back to the older version. But this problem is only on this M11X with winblows 7 ult. 64. On my other system I have the same but it's only 32b and it works. So how do I get this to work on a 64 system? And if I can't................ Where do I go to go back to the other version?

Flash player 9 installed but...

I am trying to open raw .swf files (not through a browser). I
uninstalled what I thought was my old flash player and installed
the new Flash Player 9. When I double click on the .swf it
automattically opens the Flash Player 6 window and does not play
the file. If I right click the .swf and open in a IE browser window
it runs fine. How do I set FP 9 as the default for all files, not
just in IE.
Is there a way to get the Flash Player 9 file as an .exe that
I can open and then open the file?

Flash Player update install/download stops at 2 of 3

I've never had any problems in the past with installing/downloading Adobe Flash Player updates. Now I am. Why? I know Adobe Flash Player is installed on my computer, I've checked to make sure it is enabled and I have also disabled or unchecked the ActiveX filtering too. If I choose not to install Google Chrome for downloading the newest Flash Player update, does this cause the install/download to not complete and stop at 2 of 3 steps? I believe I have unchecked Google Chrome in the past with no issues, but not sure now. I usually have to go in uninstall Google Chrome because it always seems to mess with my Facebook page. So I no longer want Google Chrome installed on my computer because of this.
The install/download never gets to this point so I can finish the install/download because stops at 2 of 3 steps :
Any advise as to what to do now?

Hi,
Based on your screenshot, I'm guessing the 'Save File' option never becomes available. Is that correct. I also see the file being downloaded has '14' in it, which means this is a version 14 file, which you shouldn't be getting as we're up to version 17. I've forwarded this to the folks who handle the online installer to investigate. In the meantime, you can use the offline installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page, in the 'Still having problems' section. There are several installer types for various browsers. You'll want to update Flash Player for all browsers you use, unless you have Windows 8.x in which case, Microsoft embeds Flash Player in IE and prevents installation using the Flash Player installer, as updates are performed via updates to IE.

Flash player update/install failure

I know this probably has been answered but I need help. I have xp sp3, ie 8. Flash player worked last night, got notice to up date. Loaded installer, tried loading the newest version and got "active x control can not be registered". I checked and no flash player is installed, turned off norton 360, checked ie settings and they are all as the troublle shooting steps say they should be. I dont really want to pay someone $36 who I will have trouble communicateing with. Please help.

I can only imagine that the reason you're seeing that message then is because the ActiveX control is already registered which prevents you from registering it again.
So what you could try is to unregister it and then run the installation again. To unregister the Flash ActiveX control, go to Start | Run and then copy/paste the following into the Run field and click OK: regsvr32 /u C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Director\SwDir.dll
You should get a message telling you that the file SwDir.dll has been successfully unregistered.
If it says that it can't find SwDir.dll, make sure that the operating system can see file extensions. To check that, launch Windows Explorer (CTRL+E) and on the top line, click Tools | Folder Options | View. In the list. Make sure that "Show Hidden Files and Folders" is checkmarked. If there's a checkmark in "Hide Extensions For Known File Types" which is the next option down, remove it, then Apply/OK and then run the command again.
Could you also check to see if this file is present on your PC: Flash9.ocx It will be located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9.ocx if it is.
I don't think you'll find it because it belongs to Flash player v9.0, but you never know.

This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Flash Player 7 installed but still can't view Flash

Hi,
I've put the Flash Player 7 for Windows Mobile 5 onto my
IPAQ. I run the fp7_ppc_en.CAB and it appears to install correctly.
However, when I try visit the Adobe site to test whether the Flash
Player is working or not (using IE), I am informed I need to
install Flash Player! I have tried the installation several times
without luck. I got the .CAB file from here:

How come it isn't working?
