Many downloads require adobe flash player,apple does not support. What options do I have?
Does Apple have an alternative program to run to support Adobe Flash Player? There are many times I want to download or view something but I can't because Apple does not accept Adobe.
Apple does accept Adobe Flash (I have it on my Mac), but it does not exist for iOS devices.
Read this for the story: Thoughts on Flash
There are a few apps on the AppStore that allow you to view some Flash video content, although the results are variable.

I keep getting this message when trying to watch TV or films
This content requires Adobe Flash Player, which is not supported by your device
Is there an app that will play this. I can't find one....Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news and media sites, have their own apps in the App Store.
If you do a search on this forum you will find hundreds of other threads on the subject. -
Can I download the stand-alone Flash Player that does not need a browser? I have ver 11.5 r502 that I d/l last year (11 Feb 2013); would like a newer release.
Can't find much about the standalone viewer, except in the Flash Builder docs, which says a .swf can specify to use it. I can't find a download link.
Thanks, DougYou can download the standalone player (Projector) from https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you need to make the .swf file association manually. -
i download adobe flash player as prompted and it does not seem to be recognized.
Go to Apple > System Preferences > Flash Player
and check to see if your Flash Player is up to date.
11.9.900.170 is the latest version. -
I am trying to use sites on the internet which require Adobe Flash Player, and when I click for a free download it says that "it is not available for your device because of restrictions that Apple has put in place". Any suggestions on how to overcome this?
Flash is not, and probably never will be, supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus it would be up to Adobe to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, something which they have never managed to do and which they have now given up on trying to do.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so your could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app). -
I cannot view any video clips requiring adobe flash player such as my facebook videos. When I download the adobe flash player nothing happens and it continually says to download. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? I am using MacBook Pro O SX. Thank you.
Just to check, in the directory /Library/Internet Plug-Ins do you see the file Flash Player.plugin?
And after reading your last post I have to ask, did you install the plugin after you downloaded it? Of course anwering my first question will answer this question. -
I download adobe flash player for my macbook pro, but nothing that requires adobe flash player works
i download adobe flash player for my macbook pro, but nothing that requires adobe flash player works. i haven"t tried much, but only because i have no idea what to do.
After you've installed Flash Player (you have to mount the disk image by double-clicking and the double-click the insatller package) restart your browser and go to youTube, for example, -> http://www.youtube.com/ - and see if the videos play.
Call back if you need any further help.

Why does say"To play the selected item, you must install a later version of the Adobe Flash Player. To download the Adobe Flash Player, go to the Adobe website." when I have the latest Version of it and it's just Black screen with no audio and Video? (Powerpoint Presentation 2013)
You asked your question on the wrong forum. Try one for the Flash Player

How can i upload pictures to a site that requires adobe flash player
I am trying to make a photo jewelry piece. The site requires adobe flash player. Is there a substitute for that I can use on my imac desktop?
Adobe Flash Player will not run on iPads or iPhones, BUT it will run on iMacs, so go ahead and download and install it from the Adobe website.
Hope this helps -
Can't download free Adobe Flash Player - Help
I tried to download free Adobe Flash Player or Adobe Reader (is the same) and appears in the screen the following message:
"GetPlus+(R) The specified software requires a recent version of windows" and I can't proceed with instalation. I have already done a virus verification with Kasperky and it's OK. I have Windows XP (SP3) and Internet Explorer 7.
Thank you very much for your help!Hi, Don't use that DLM(download manager) since it can cause a problem.
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Uninstaller:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for IE- use the EXE Installer
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Close all browser windows, you only want to be looking at your Desktop.
Disable any messenger services, as yahoo, msn, etc in the system tray(area near the clock)
Disable any Realtime Anti-Virus until you have finished Uninstalling and Installing Flash Player
Be sure to use the Administrator Account.
Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
Check to make sure the Anti-Virus is still Disabled
Run the Installer for IE, and when finished, Reboot.
Re-enable your Anti-Virus
Then go to this test site and test each browser:

How can I see content on web sites that require adobe flash player?
We installed a web tv from our clinic but it requires adobe flash player, how can I see this stuff?
Despite what has been said, there is no Flash player for iOS devices.
http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
There are some browsers like Skyfire that can play some Flash content, but performance varies so try different apps to see if any can display the sites you go to...but don't expect greatness. -
Deactivate progressive download in Adobe Flash Player
Concerning progressive download in Adobe Flash Player, I have these questions:
1) Is it possible to deactivate or disable progressive download in Adobe Flash Player? For instance, if I want to watch a 30 minute video on a video site, and I have Adobe Flash Player installed, then by clicking on the video link, Adobe Flash Player will automatically begin to progressively download the file, thus enabling me to watch the video while it is being downloaded. At the end of the download, the entire 30 minute video file is stored in a temporary folder on my computer's hard disc. Supposing I don't want that file to be fully downloaded unto my harddisk, what options do I have to prevent Adobe Flash Player from progressively downloading the said file?
2) Since Adobe Flash Player utilizes progressive downloads, what happens to the downloaded file? Will it be automatically deleted when the browser is closed, or will it remain in the temporary folder?
3) Are there any settings which I can to configure either on the operating system or in the browser which will prevent or deactivate progressive download?
Thanks very much in advance for your reply.
Best regards
JackWhat are local storage settings?
Applications that run in Adobe Flash Player may want to store some information on your computer, but the amount they can store is limited to 100 kilobytes unless you agree to allocate additional space. Local storage settings let you specify how much disk space, if any, applications from a particular website can use to store information on your computer. Note that it is the person or company that has created the application you are using that is requesting such access, not Adobe (unless Adobe has created the application that wants to save the information). In the dialog box shown above, [website] represents the name of the person or company requesting access. It is the responsibility of the person or company requesting access to make it clear to you why they want access and how they plan to use the information they save. You should be aware of the privacy policy of anyone who is requesting access to your computer. For example, see Adobe's privacy policy. Contact the website requesting access for information on their privacy policy.
It's important to understand that even though this settings panel is part of Flash Player, the information will be used by an application created by a third party. Adobe assumes no responsibility for third-party privacy policies, actions of third-party companies in storing information on your computer, or such companies' use of such data or information.
What kind of data can an application that runs in Flash Player store on my computer?
The kind of information stored depends on the application. Information can be anything from your user name to your current score in an interactive game to a list of stocks in your portfolio. The application should make it clear what kind of information it wants to store.
Who has access to the information?
This information may be accessed by an application that is currently running in Flash Player or by another application that runs in Flash Player on the same website. Adobe does not have access to this information (unless Adobe has created the application that wants to save the information).
As discussed in What are local storage settings? above, it is the responsibility of the website requesting access to make it clear to you why they want access and how they plan to use the information. For example, will it be available only to you, or will it be posted in a public place? Who will have access to it in the future? Will it be deleted after a certain period of time? The privacy policy of anyone who is requesting access should address these sorts of issues.
I've already set privacy and disk space options in my browser. How do these settings interact with my Flash Player settings?
You may be aware that some websites work together with your browser to store small amounts of data, called cookies, on your computer for their own use in the future. For example, when you go to a website regularly, it may welcome you by name; your name is probably stored in a cookie, and you can use browser options to determine whether you want cookies or not. You may also have specified in your browser that pages you visit can take up only a certain amount of disk space.
When SWF or FLV content is being played, the settings you select for Flash Player are used in place of options you may have set in your browser. That is, even if you have specified in your browser settings that you do not want cookies placed on your computer, you may be asked if an application that runs in Flash Player can store information. This happens because the information stored by Flash Player is not the same as a cookie; it is used only by the application that runs in Flash Player, and has no relation to any other Internet privacy or security settings you may have set in your browser.
Similarly, the amount of disk space you let the application that runs in Flash Player use has no relation to the amount of disk space you have allotted for stored pages in your browser. That is, when SWF or FLV content is being played, the amount of disk space you allow here is in addition to any space your browser is using for stored pages.
No matter how you may have configured your browser, you still have the option to allow or deny an application that runs in Flash Player permission to store the information, and to specify how much disk space the stored information can occupy, as discussed in the rest of this document.
What are my local storage options?
If you don't want to let applications from this website save any information on your computer, and you don't want to be asked again, select Never. Note that applications from other websites may later ask to store information on your computer. If you don't want applications from any website that you haven't yet visited to store information on your computer, and you don't want to be asked again, use the Global Storage Settings panel.
If you want to let applications from this website save information on your computer, but you want to decide on a case-by-case basis for each application, move the slider to the far left (None). Each time an application from this website wants to save information on your computer, you will see a question asking for more disk space.
If you want to let applications from this website save as much information on your computer as they need to, move the slider to the far right (Unlimited).
If you want to let applications from this website save information on your computer, but want to limit the amount of disk space they can use, move the slider to select 10 KB, 100 KB, 1 MB, or 10 MB. If an application needs more space than you have allotted, you will see a question asking for more disk space while the application is running.
If an application from this website has already saved some information on your computer and you select a value that is lower than the amount of information already stored, Flash Player informs you that any information that has already been saved will be deleted.
If you don't want existing information to be deleted, click Cancel to return to the Local Storage Settings panel, and then select a higher value. Otherwise, click OK to delete the information and return to the application.
How can I change my local storage settings?
You may want to change your local storage settings if, for example, you want to allot more space for information from this website. To display the Local Storage Settings panel:
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the application image while it is running.
From the context menu, select Settings, and then click the Local Storage tab.
You can also change storage settings directly with your browser here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.htm l -
