  • Their is a newer version of Flash Player already installed

    Flash Player automatically updates.  Today I tried to use Facebook to upload some photos.  Facebook gave me a warning that said I needed the latest update to Flash Player.  I went to the Adobe website to try to update the Adobe Flash Player.  When I try to run the installer, it gets as far as "Installing" and then stops saying Note: Newer version already installed.  The Troubleshooting page on the Flash Player support site says I have Flash Player 14.0.0.101 and the newest version is 13.0.0.  I have not manually installed or updated anything, except for trying to install the update after receiving the original error messages.

    This means you have a beta version of Flash Player installed.  Uninstall it with http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/labs/flashruntimes/flashplayer/flashplayer14_uninstall_m ac.dmg
    then download and install the release version http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_13_osx.dmg

  • How to avoid installing newer version of flash player

    Hey,
    After installing the newer version of flash player it caused troubles to me, and I don't see any way but to install an older version of Flash Player, however after I have installed it the game forces me to Install the newest version of Flash Player, otherwise it cannot run. So here is my question. How can I use an older version of Flash Player I had before without installing the newer version of it?

    Hi, You can go to this test site to see if you have Flash Player Installed on your 10.6.5 Mac.
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Then this link has info on how to Uninstall Flash Player (if needed) and Install the latest version. It is a step by step.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html  
    After reading that info and you just need to Install, then this link would be easier:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    Flash Player is a browser plugin and as long as your browser is supported by Adobe Flash Player, then you shouldn't have any problem.
    Hope that helps,

  • How do i download a newer version of Flash player.  I have tried 10 times, it says complete..however

    How do I download a new version of flash player.  I have tried 10 times, each time it says complete.  However when I need it on a site, it says I don't have it????????   Thank you

    Hello,
    I have a similar problem than sam6sam had except that I'm on Safari. After the Mountain Lion security update I did last Friday, I had to update Flash. I installed .149, deinstalled, restarted, reinstalled .149 about 2 dozens times and it didn't work. Yesterday I saw that you had .167 and thought "finally they will have fixed this issue". After doing the same deinstall restart and install routine another dozen time, I give up! 
    I've followed all the instructions on this page:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html 
    and this page:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5067997#5067997
    and this page:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
    and still nothing.
    It looks like it's installed. When I go into System Preference Flash Player shows "Plug-in version 11.6.602.167 is installed.", yet when I want to see a flash video it tells me that I don't have the software and need to install it. My Safari Preferences allow for Pop-up and Enable Plug-in. My "open 'safe' files after downloading" is clicked.
    I've search all of Adobe, Apple and other geeky website's "help" area, and nothing I tried worked, including the "sudo" commands in the terminal (the answer to this one is "command not found").
    I'm really frustrated by this. There is certainly something that I overlooked, but I cannot figure it out. Help!

  • Should I recompile my swf at every new version of flash player ?

    should I recompile my swf at every new version of flash player to benefit of any new optimization bugs and new features ? I saw that the version of flash player will increase every 3 months.
    is CC is able to offer publish settings with every 3 months new version ?
    thanks

    Its simple: any advanced feature that would improve the performance has to be adressed by the code you write to be useful.
    So say in Flash 12 Adobe Introduces Stage4D, simply publishing your existing Flash 11 work that uses Stage3D will not use the Stage4D Features present in Flash 12,
    you would have very likely to rewrite some of your code to profit from the benefits.
    So recompiling on its own, will do nothing useful for you.

  • I have  a newer version of flash player installed then what is listed as the most recent version??

    Hello,
    I am checking the version i have installed of flash player via the adobe version check option at the site and i have version 11.8.800.94 and when i check the list of the latest versions of Adobe, i see 11.7.700.169 listed as being the latest vversion. How can i have a version installed that's above that? I haven't installed a beta version, never signed up for beta testing and all i did was install the latest version of flash player via the website.
    I am wondering what this is cause recently when viewing videos on youtube, my videos tend to hang up or end halfway through and think the video ended when it's not. My guess now is that i have sumhow obtained a version of flash player that's not correct and thus why the videos go haywire now. Re-installing flash player sets it back to the 11.8 version again, so that didn't work.
    Any information any1 might have that can solve this is much appreciated.

    11.8.800.94 is the latest version for Windows and Mac. 11.8.800.115 is the latest beta version. http://helpx.adobe.com/en/flash-player/release-note/fp_118_air_38_release_notes.html

  • After installing the newer version of flash player 10.3.181.14, My firefox 4 started crashing.

    I used to get Flash player plugin crashed but my Firefox never crashed, and that problem was easily resolved by just refreshing that page. But now my Firefox crashes and i have to restart it. which is really frustrating.
    I have tried FF3, FF5 beta and the older version of flash player (10,2,159,1) and now i am used this old version but my firefox is still crashing regularly.

    And it happens alot in Facebook.

  • Is the new version of Flash player compatible with FF 3.6.17?

    I updated to the new version of Flash - 10.3.181.26 - because of some sort of problem with the old version. Now FF does not recognize Flash as being installed. I have both versions in .mozilla/plugins. I use .new and .old as the extension for the one I am not using. Version 10.3.d162 works when it is .so. 10.3.181 does not.

    There are a number of active threads concerning the latest Flash player plugin (11.3) and the latest Firefox (13). Not all users are experiencing the same issues, but things to check include the following:
    - Conflict with Realplayer Browser Record plugin (to disable this, open Add-ons from the orange Firefox button or the classic Tools menu and look under the Extensions and Plugins categories)
    - Conflict with Flash 11.3 Protected Mode (see [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 Adobe Forums: How do I disable Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?])
    Scanning down the front of the forums probably will yield additional suggestions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions
    Please post back with your results.

    I've tried setting the flash properties to transparent and that hasn't helped. I'm really stumped here.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Thank you! I finally figured it out a solution!! I saved the swf as a flash 10.1 document rather than the pre-set 10.2 and am happy to report that it worked. I've been able to view it on an imac and a windows device but it still doesn't work on an ipad. The only solution I can think of for this is to have a link at the top of my page that says " ipad and i phone users click here" --- and the link would be www.mysite.com/idevice"
    where there would be an exact replica of my page minus the annimated banner OR with a version that would be viewable on an I pad/phone.

  • The new versions of Flash Player for Android are still not in the Archive page!

    I feel like something is missing in the Flash Player Archive page.  Yesterday, I read that the new Flash Player version for Android 2.x/3.x is now version 11.1.111.73, and that the new Flash Player version for Android 4.x is now 11.1.115.81, but instead, all I see are previous versions of Flash Player for Android 4.x, 3.x, and 2.x!  When will the newest Flash Player versions for Android be available to the archive page?  Here's a link for the Archive Page:  http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html 

    Ok, we're fixing it and it should be resolved by tomorrow.  Please let me know if you can't find it by tomorrow evening.
    Thanks again for letting us know!

  • The latest version of flash player is installed and yet none of the programs that use it can find or access it. I am running Windows 7. Is there anything in the Registry that could be blocking flash player from being accessed or used?

    The subject is the question. Files with flv extensions cannot be run or identified. Other software that uses flash player such as Rhapsody, can't find or use it either. It feels like a registry problem. Please do not waste time suggesting I uninstall and reinstall flash player as I have done than several times with no improvement or solution.

    Flash Player is a plugin, and typically used by browsers (and sometimes other software.)  Flash, by itself, won't open flv files.  Instead you'd load those files into your web browser and it would load Flash to render them.
    I don't know if Rhapsody uses the ActiveX or NPAPI versions of Flash Player.  Which do you have installed?  You can check this by going into the Programs and Features control panel and looking for the Adobe Flash Player entry(s).  It'll say NPAPI, PPAPI, or ActiveX at the end.

  • Latest Version of Flash Player wont doenload - Setting Manager is open?

    I am trying to install the latest version of Flash player and keep getting an error message stating that the flash player settings manager is open and that I need to close it. I have no adobe products running at all and there does not appear to be an option in the control panel to close the setting manager. Help!!!!

    There are two parallel strings going in this forum on this subject.  On the other string, I gave the information you are
    requesting.
    I get the 
    following message:
    You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video.
    Download it from Adobe.
    I do not have the Macromed folder on my PC.
    There is a proposed fix posted on the other string by someone who spent 15 minutes on the Adobe Chat line
    before being referenced to this forum.  The only thing I see different in his proceedure is the unloading and
    reloading of the Java Scripts, which I didn't do.  Take a look at his posting and let me know if I should do the
    same thing with Java to get my Flash Player to work.

    Hi Traci,
    Can you try downloading the installer again from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer and see if that helps.  We updated it last week and this issue should be resolved.  Please let me know if you continue to have problems.

  • Flash player wont update on Mac 10.5.8

    Hello,
    I'm having a contuining problem updating flash. It asks me to update it in chrome and safari, when I do it still doesn't work. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing and that didn't help either. I have noticed that when I go to Library>Internet Plugins - flash isn't there, but I thought it would go there after installing it??
    Any thoughts on what to do?
    Many thanks
