My adobe will not play

my adobe will not play, have installed twice already

What is "my adobe"??? Adobe is a company with hundreds of different software products; what program do you mean? Obviously not Adobe Reader; it does not "play" anything.
Also, please provide your operating system details.

After the latest version of Adobe flash player was installed, movies and tv shows will not play, and

After the latest version of Adobe Flash Player was installed, movies and tv shows will not run, and most of the news videos will not play. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but that does not help.

I have windows (crap) seven and internet explorer. When I try to access movies or tv shows, I'm always asked to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. When I check the programs list, it indicates that Adobe Flash Player Active X is installed. I have uninstalled adobe and reinstalled it several times. Do you suppose this is a virus, and I need to redo the hard drive completely?

Hi Terry, What version of Flash Player are you using? You should be able to tell by going to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Does it happen in browsers? Could you test in Safari, Firefox and Chrome? What happens when you try to play them? Is it possible to post a screen shot? Thanks, -Dave

New iMac will not play Adobe. APPLE directed me to you to solve the issue. Please assist.

Please assist. My new iMac with latest operating platform by APPLE will not play Adobe on Safari. ESPN.com, as example, has articles that have videos attached. The error message pops up that I must upload / update ADOBE. I do that, but it does not resolve the issue. APPLE believes that the program should be deleted, removed from the Mac, and then re-uploaded via Adobe Technical Support. Can you assist? Thanks. Bob

Hi novibob,
Are you referring to Adobe Flash Player here.

Certain flash movies will not play - including Adobe TV movies with Dreamweaver tutorials

For months, certain .swf movies will not play. No error, won't even load the player. I thought it was because of IE8 which I installed several months ago. Now I loaded Firefox and Opera and the movies still do not play in those browsers either. At least I get an error message "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference".
I have newly installed Dreamweaver CS4 and when I launch it, there are links to Adobe TV videos. These will not play. Here is an example of a video that will not play: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/inside-the-dreamlabs/dreamweaver-cs4-live-preview/
I have googled the error but the results seem to be developers talking about code in Action Script 3.
Can someone please help? I have spent hours trying to get this resolved.
My Flash Player version is 10,0,45,2 and I had the issue when I was at 10,0,32 whatever as well.

Old movie will not play in new shockwave player

Hi, I have searched the forums, Adobe support and web in
general for help on this, but to my surprise have not found
anything. I created some Shockwave movies perhaps 5 years ago for
science education and have not used Director since then. I just
received a report that the movies are broken and will not play.
This is happening on WinXP in IE and in Firefox with the latest
Shockwave player installed, but the movies work fine on OSX 10.4.8
in Safari and Firefox, also with the latest Shockwave player
installed. I am not a Director developer anymore and do not own a
current version of the program, I am primarily a scientist and
educator. I'm hoping the problem is in the code that embeds the
movie, and that the movies are still compatible with the new
Shockwave player on Windows. Can anyone help out, please? One of
the movies can be found at

i've been using Premiere Pro for about a year and a half with no trouble, no crashes that i can remember.   I updated to 5.0.4 when it came out and experienced no problems.
I have not made any changes to my system (drivers, programs, etc.) since the last time i worked with Premiere Pro with no trouble. The only difference is that i generated approx. 52GB of new video files (mov. uncompressed 32bit 640x480 resolution) that i was beginning to edit in to a music video.
My current problem is:: there is absolutely no playback of video in 5.0.4.   not in the tiny project window preview, not in the source preview, and not in the timeline/canvas window.   when i push PLAY, the button turns into a square STOP button, but nothing happens.   this is independent of project or file type. The project i was working on when playback stopped is using uncompressed 640x480 32bit Quicktime files and one 44khz/16bit .AIFF file.   as a quick doublecheck, I just added a 640x480 Apple Intermediate Codec file and it also will not play back.   I opened older projects and none of them will playback.
My problem started while i was working on a project. I was working on the project for probably an hour and a half with no trouble. Then it seemed to get a bit sluggish and i could hear the HD churning a little more.   After rendering out a short section (just under 10 seconds), PPro did not play back the just rendered (now greenline) section. Immediate playback of rendered material was the default behavior, and this was the first time ever that the just rendered section did not play back.   I then discovered that no video would play back at all--in any of the windows.   I can scrub through all the video without any trouble--all the frames are there.
I shut down PPro, & restarted. No change.   I restarted my computer. No change.
Realizing that the problem was likely related to a lack of space on my data drive, i deleted approx. 500GB of files off my 2 TB drive, leaving just under a 1/3 of it free. i checked the drive for errors, and defragmented it. Premiere Pro still wouldn't play any file from any project.
The files are fine, they will playback anywhere else (several different file types involved in different projects). The files are compatible with Premiere Pro (uncompressed VGA resolution Quicktime .mov), i was editing on the timeline with them for hours before all video playback stopped.   All other Adobe programs (After Effects, Photoshop work fine).
I tried to find an answer/solution on these forums, unsuccessfully.   After uninstalling PPro and reinstall (did not help), and entire Suite uninstall, Adobe Clean, and reinstall, neither version 5.0.0 or 5.0.4 will play video --the no playback problem has persisted.
I was running out of HD space --i had less room than i thought -- down to about 7% of free space, a bone-headed move on my part. I'm not surprised that playback performance got compromised due to lack of space.   But i'm shocked that the problem is persisting.   Fortunately, i had just backed up my entire system the day before. (i've backed up many times before and this never affected PPro performance)
i tried to "CLEAN" the media cache for the sequence but it had no effect (in searching the forums, i saw somebody else have their 'crashing Premiere Pro' problem solved by hitting this button). I just took a look in the user/application support/adobe/common/5.0 to look at the "Media Cache" folder and the "Media Cache Files" folder.   Neither of them are empty, even after hitting the CLEAN cache button in the main preferences 'Media' settings window.   I don't know if this is the correct behavior or not.   (i'd expect a "clean" command to empty the folder, but i'm not the programmer)
This does not appear to be the ATI/5.0 problem that so many Mac users suffered (i was lucky to never have that problem).    Again, i've never had any problems with Premiere Pro over the last year and a half, until working on this latest project with the Hard Drive very low on space.   I'm 99.9% positive that's at the heart of the issue.
I don't understand why a clean reinstall did not help in this regard. The problem is clearly PPro specific.   I found one topic in the forum where someone else experienced this same "no video playback" problem, but there was never follow-up from the user saying whether or not his problem was solved (or what was done to correct the problem).
I'd love to get some help--- seems to be a very rare issue, but right now, i can do no video editing. btw, i started a new project as well and imported a .mov file -- same problem, no video playback.
the weird thing is that i can actually still edit video. i just rearranged my timeline assets and rendered out a minute-long quicktime (Apple Intermediate Codec) .mov and it looks and plays as it should.    This is really weird. I'm baffled -- there must be some way to fix this.   I don't want to have to go back to Final Cut, certainly not when i've already paid for Create Suite 5 Production Premium and EVERYTHING works except for video playback in PrPro.
thanks in advance for your help

hello.   hey, thanks very much for writing back. i got some good info with a search or two. (info about what regedit is and what corresponds to it in OS X -- regedit allows you to edit "preference" keys for individual programs, OSX's equivalent for these keys are the .plists in User & System: Preferences and Application Support)
what i ended up doing was uninstalling Premiere Pro (not the suite, just PPro).   Then i deleted a few preference files:
from User /Preferences/Adobe:
com.adobe.AdobePremierePro.plist
com.Adobe.Premiere Pro.5.0.plist
and from System Preferences:
the file: Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs
and..
/.../Premiere Pro/5.0/...
AMEPrefs.xml     (i noticed that there's also a preference file in Media Encoder's own folder so i didn't sweat this one)
Debug Database.txt
Placeholder Preset.epr
PostEncodeCmds.pref
PresetCache.xml
Trace Database.txt
NOTE:
of course i don't know if deleting any files beyond the 2 .plist files in User Prefs was necessary, but... it seems to have worked.
I then reinstalled Premiere Pro CS5, and fired up an old project and i've got playback of HD and DV files, and snappy editing and rendering, so hopefully i'm good to go.   I'm just going to stick with v5.0.0 because i actually don't remember ever having any trouble with it, and i don't remember v5.0.4 adding anything i was 'missing' or 'needed'
hopefully, this thread will be useful for any future folks that run into trouble - and it's got a solution for both Windows and OS X
happy editing,
peace

Flash 10.1 installs in Vista and XP but will not play some content

I started this morning by thinking the problem I am experiencing with Flash Player 10.1 is a version of the problem discussed in this forum under "Flash 10.1 not working in User account." I now recognize that it is a different problem.
First, FP 10.1 (specifically v. 10.1.53.64) installs fine either in Vista Ultimate 64 (IE Active-X or FireFox Add-in--I use and work in an administrator account) or XP (multiboot machine). I can confirm the installation at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html and the FLVs at http://www.acpmh.unimelb.edu.au/resources/resources-education.html play with no problem.
Some content, however, simply will not play. I need badly to look at http://library.creativecow.net/articles/hansen_jaysen/growing/video-tutorial.php and it hangs and tells me I need Flash Player--both in IE and FF. I have repeatedly uninstalled FP, rebooted, and reinstalled but that doesn't change anything. Worse still, since I use Adobe Connect a lot, Connect hangs when I try to enter a meeting. Exactly the same thing occurs on my laptop which runs Vista 64 Home.
I have tried everything I can think of and searched with every strategy that seems promising but I have found nothing on this problem. Surely I can't be the only person experiencing this!. Does anyone have any idea what is going on and how to deal with this problem?
Thanks in advance!!!

I have exactly the same problem as the OP, on both my desktop (Windows XP) and my laptop (Windows Vista). Both PCs have the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Opera and IE but no browser on either PC will display video content from the BBC website bbc.co.uk/news any more. Before the Flash Player 10.1 upgrade about 10 days ago everything worked fine.
It still works on YouTube videos and the OP's http://www.acpmh.unimelb.edu.au/resources/resources-education.html but it won't play http://library.creativecow.net/articles/hansen_jaysen/growing/video-tutorial.php that the OP wants to view.
All that happens is that the first static frame is shown, but the 'telephone dial' animated icon (circle of white dots) just keeps going around forever and everything stays frozen and there's no sound. Except when I've uninstalled Flash, there is no error message. I've tried going back to a System Restore point but it didn't work; perhaps it's not far back enough.
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ confirms that I have the latest Flash version 10.1.53.64, it says it's successfully installed and plays the rotating 'italic F' animation. Incidentally, that's a better test page than http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html as referenced by the OP which seems out of date and claims that 10.0 is the latest version.
I've temporarily switched off my Firewall (Windows or Zone Alarm). I've uninstalled and re-installed Flash several times for each browser on each PC, using both the Vista Control Panel and Adobe's uninstaller, I've tried switching off the hardware acceleration but nothing has fixed the problem.
Some other points (sorry if they are red herrings, please excuse my ignorance):-
If you uninstall Flash but find the test page still works, remember that the Chrome browser has Flash embedded within it. See http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=108086dobe Flash?
Is Shockwave Player the same as Adobe's Flash player? Very confusing!
Apologies if this hasn't solved your problem, but perhaps it shows that something in Flash Player 10.1.53.64 really is broken. If some sites never work any more but others will, it's just too much of a coincidence !

Flash Player is enabled, ActiveX Filtering disabled, yet Flash videos will not play in Internet Explorer 11

I have enabled Flash Player in add-ons for Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 8.1. I also disabled ActiveX Filtering as instructed while trouble shooting... Yet, videos still will not play on webpages shown in Internet Explorer. How can I fix this, since I have already followed instructions from Adobe completely? Flash Player is supposedly already be installed in Internet Explorer 11, but it is NOT working.

Long story short, the video site is probably going to need to change their content before it works in IE11+. I'd need some links to affected pages to tell you for sure (and even then, the complexity of websites these days makes debugging pretty painful).
In the meantime, you might just want to use Chrome for the sites that otherwise don't work.

Videos will not play unless mouse is moving or scroll used

I have a MacBook Pro (Retina 15-inch mid-2014) with an Intel core and the most recent OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
Whenever I try to play a video on YouTube, Vimeo, or the like Safari will not play it unless I move the mouse around or engage the scrolling option on the mousepad. Sometimes it plays the video, but not smoothly at all. The audio plays normally as before the video problem occurred.
For some reason, some advertisements seem to play fine, while others have the same problem.
I looked up some solutions on Apple and some non-Apple support pages and they did not fix this problem.
My Safari browser is up-to-date (version 8.0), I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash player, and I don't have ANY extensions installed and none of my third-party plugins/add ons that would mess with the video playing.
When I ran into this problem, I also had an issue with Facebook loading any images (profile pictures, thumbnails for profile pictures and shared video links, shared photos, similar things like that) and the videos uploaded to Facebook would not have an image either, nor would they load. I emptied the Safari cache and even manually put the cache.db file into my trash and emptied it out.
I may have tried some other things out as well, but I think this is what solved the lack of loading images, but it didn't solve the video playing (obviously).
What do I do?
Thank you!
