Not so flashy flash. Nothing from Adobe??

Widespread problem that everyone else is having. Flash 16 crashing and crashing and crashing in Firefox 34. I'm running Windows 8.1. I've installed, uninstalled, cleared, cleaned, cursed, prayed and cussed. Why no word from Adobe? Just silence. I can't play anything that runs on flash. I'm a bit irritated at the lack of interest I feel from Adobe.

Download and save the uninstaller Save it to your downloads folder -  DO NOT run it yet.
Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking one (or both) of the following links and selecting "Save Target as"(IE) or "Save Link as"(other browsers).
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Save the installer(s) to your downloads folder - DO NOT run it(them) yet.
Reboot your system.
BEFORE you run anything else, locate and run the uninstaller.
When it finishes, run the  installer(s) to put Flash Player on your system again.

  • Last flash player from Adobe is broken

    Hello
    Last flash player from Adobe seems to be broken when using with Chatroulette:
    on Macbook Air camera stopped working
    on iMac 27" works, but Safari takes 100% cpu (when Flash Player is running with Chatroulette)
    Other users experience the same
    My configuration
    Mac OS 10.6.4
    Flash Player: 10.1.102.64, 10,1,103,19
    Safari, Chrome
    I tried re-installing Flash Player, creating new account, changing language, changing browsers, running Disc Utility = nothing helped
    I tried downloading Chrome because I heard there is different version of Flash Player (10,1,103,19)
    Result is same.
    Hardware is brand new, operating system is brand new. Everything worked until last flash update.
    Please assist! Some of our users experience the same problems
    As a temporary solution I have installed Adobe Flash Player 10.2 but it is unstable and our users cannot do that. However it works
    Thanks much
    Andrey

    This is STILL an issue.   There is something badly broken in the Mac version of Flash 10.   I have a brand new macbook pro, and had the original install of flash 9.  My cameras worked fine.   When I upgraded to 10 -- and yes, I *did* uninstall the previous version -- I lost the ability to config my camera, since it stopped appearing in the control panel dialog.
    I uninstalled Flash 10, saying many not-so-nice things about Adobe and their exceptionally poor QA in the process, and re-installed Flash 9.   Sure enough, my cam worked like a charm. 
    Hey Adobe guys:   If you are reading these forums, PLEASE try to fix this!!!!  Downgrading is only a temporary fix, as more and more sites are specifically requiring for Flash 10.
    GET YOUR QA TEAM TO TEST THIS!!!!!!!!!  PLEASE!!!!!!!!

  • HT5655 The new Flash installer from Adobe still isn't working, right?

    The new Flash installer from Adobe still isn't working, right? We get the "installation failed" messages, and we're awaiting Adobe's follow-up on it?

    Adobe Acrobat 8 has two problems on my iMac. The lesser problem comes when I go into the Print command and click "Preview." I get a message that says that Preview isn't supported.
    Preview is not supported because building a preview of a print job under OS X involves creating a .PDF file. You already have a .PDF file open if you're using Acrobat, so there's no point creating a new one.
    The greater problem just cropped up as I was writing about my problems with Quicktime and Real Player: Acrobat tried to update itself and then gave me a message that says, "Cannot overwrite file /Users/(myname)/Documents/Update5/AdobeUpdater/acrobat8pro-en_US/AUMProduct.dmg .
    That's not a problem with Acrobat. The system is saying that you have a file named AUMProduct.dmg in place already, and you don't have permission to update it. You need to change the permissions on that file so that you can update it, or to use an account which has update permission. Or it might just be locked and you need to unlock it. Locate it using the Finder (you have the complete path to the file listed above) and see what permissions are on the file and whether or not it is locked.
    You might also just put the entire Update5 folder into the Trash and try updating again.
    The file maybe be locked or you may not have sufficient access rights. Please make sure you have write access to this file." Can anyone help? Thanks.

  • Firefox29, on a new win7 computer which has never had ff installed, will not install the latest flash plugin from adobe.

    I promise to refrain from venting my disgust :-) but when FF 9 blew up the entire web. I had all kinds of issues so I did things like Bill Gates taught us to do. I re-installed windows 7, brand new, formatted HD and all. The very first thing I did was open IE to download FF29 from the mozilla site and it installed. I went to pages I know have fits with flash on purpose, www.nydailynews.com, for instance and got the message that no flash was installed, do I want to install it? Well, yes, I have brand new FF on a brand new computer, so to ahead. Did the usual, installed Flash, shut down, and even rebooted the computer, and golly gee, the web pages tell me I have no flash installed. Its in IE, and of course chrome, and it appears in the installed program control panel, but I can't use flash with FF 29.
    I wiped the hard drive and reinstalled win 7, then installed ff 28. Went to adobe and installed their latest flash version, and still no flash in any version of firefox. I also checked the option to never update, but when I rebooted an opend FF29, it miraculously turned into FF29, and of course still does not work with the flash plugin.
    I think firefox has had a world of trouble with Adobe Flash for over a year and have hoped for a solution. Basically a browser that cannot run Flash media is totally useless. I wonder why this problem was no addressed and corrected, when instead all the the resources were put into raping my computer and forcing FF29 onto it?
    I am not a cry baby, who wants to complain, but will you please fix this issue so I don't have to abandon my favorite browser.. I don't enjoy Chrome, and IE is just not an option for me.
    Before you make any moreoverhauls on the UI, could you fix the problems with flash. I find it a little condescending to tell a 25 year user of computers to make sure " you have the latest versions" when in fact I have a brand new install of windows and the very latest from Adobe and Mozilla and they do no wok together, even when I down grade to FF 28, which as I told you, automatically upgrades to FF 29 each time I boot up.
    Please help. IF installing the latest Adobe onto a brand new hard drive and install of windows 7 fails, what do you suggest, as the usual " version issue" cannot apply here.
    FWIW, I have vista on my laptop with the same problems, the same reinstalls and the same guaranteed latest versions. Since the hd is formtted, there cannot be an residual FF dlls hanging around or in the registry.
    I have always seen open source as the way to the future, since the first PC arrived, but its looking like a bad idea.
    If you want to build a firefox that works, I will pay for it, so long as I can get help when things break. Browsers are huge in the web, so paying for reliable performance seems like a fair thing to do.
    I am sorry, but I am frustrated at the lack of progress towards a solution and really do not wish to be told to see if I am using the latest versions. I have taken every step possible and gone all the way to a brand new machine and FF does not work with flash reliably.
    Help? Please?

    adobe test page says it is installed. but I said, some pages I visit say I don't have it installed.
    I use prefbar ( I delete it and reinstall to make sure its not an issue) usually because it lets me turn off flash and avoid the crashing and locking up but when I check the flash block on prefbar, it says " plugin is not loaded"
    I posted from the machine that does not work, but it does not work on my Vista Laptop, or my daughter's computer either. In all cases, I wiped the drives and reinstalled the OS and went directly to Firefox for 29 and to adobe for their latest.
    Flash IS installed on my machine... It works in IE, and Chrome, but firefox 29 does not install the flash plugin, even tho the installer says all is well
    The reason I went totally clean is to make sure there was no process blocking it or if Java was creating the issue as well. The reality is, I started with a brand new computer, three times, and Flash will not load into Firefox 29 in any case
    I have started clean many times now and backed up and installed ff 28. I had no problem with the flash plugin using ff28, . I would have stayed there, but when shut down ff 28 and opened it later, it "magically downgraded to version 29" and i do mean " downgraded -( even tho I had gone into options and said do not install updates.
    I am grateful for your attention. I find that web browsers are very important anymore, an a non functional one makes the web a waste. I mentioned www.nydailynews.com and would really not want to make a long list of every page that demands a flash plugin, for they are legion that I don't have, mostly because when the page wants flash, FF locks up. Its will not even let me copy the URL to try and make a list, but the browser is totally locked up and I have to kill the process I get the message I have been getting for about a year that the shockwave plugin has stopped working. There is no shockwave on my computer.
    I know it looks like I have two different problems as the plugin does not load, but for instance, when I got it worrking in FF28, it loaded but constantly crashed an locked up the browser with the shockwave message, even tho I never install shockwave any time
    Frustration is the word for the day, or the week :-)
    Thanks much
    Kind regards,

  • Flash Download from Adobe site says it's not most current and will not continue the install.

    I tried to update my flash on 9/20 and my flash seems to have gotten corrupted. Since that update, its not working properly and some sites report it's out of date or doesn't seem to be installed.  Tried downloading Flash from your download area today but when the installer runs, it states The version is not the most current.  Please download from the player download area.  However, I did get my install directly from your website's downloads area.  I uninstalled my &quot;corrupted&quot; version thinking it might be causing the issue but I still get the same error with the flash download from your site and now I have no Flash at all.
    Please help.

  • After installing Flash player I still get the message "this website wants to run the following add in: Adobe Flash Player from Adobe Systems Inc". I click allow but the message keeps coming back and I can´t get rid off it. What to do?

    Running Windows 7 Home edition, 64.

    Alright guy's It always happens. Over 90% of the time it's just a matter of time before i fix my own problems. I solved my problem and now it works perfectly fine.
    I'm gonna say how i fixed it so who ever finds this page on google can see how i did it. I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player using the uninstaller from adobe http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe after i did that i went to my system32 folder and delete my adobe folder which still had files left over in it (Deleted the whole macromed folder) C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
    Note, You need to exit any browser you have up (IE,Firefox,ect) or else you will not be able to delete it and it'll say access denied. After deleting that i installed Adobe Flash Player with a .exe i downloaded from Adobe and it worked perfect! No more annoying message
    Side note, I'm use XP so the marcomed folder might possible be somewhere else if you are useing Vista or Windows 7.

  • Why doesn't the flash player from adobe work on chrome?

    When i watch videos on youtube, the speakers would hear statics and it would crackle. I thought it was my macbook air, but researching it, people said it was because of chrome's installed in flash player. I disabled chrome's adobe flash player and instead downloaded straight from adobe website. however, it doesn't let me watch videos, saying i needed to download the flash player. When i use safari and watch video on youtube, it's perfectly fine; however, i do not like to safari and would much prefer google chrome. Any suggestions. help?

  • Avery Barcode labels does not align properly when printed from Adobe Reader 11.0.0

    Hi,
    I have barcode labels in a PDF (Version 1.4, Acrobat 5.x). PDF producer is PPAlambic(Distiller). When I try to print the PDF on to Avery 5160 sheet containing 30 labels (10 rows; 3 labels in a row), always the barcodes on the first column goes beyond the left margins and hence does not print the full barcode. PDF size is 8.5" * 11" .I have tried following options in Print dialog box:
    1. Actual Size + Portrait + Letter size
    2. Shrink oversized pages + Portrait + Letter size
    3. Fit + Portrait + Letter size
    None of the above options resolved my issue.
    When I open the same PDF in Adobe Reader 11.0.07, it prints perfectly. Does someone help me understand if this is a known defect in Adobe 11.0.0 and is there any workaround in 11.0.0 itself to adjust the alignment?
    Note: PDF is not editable as it comes from a third party vendor. Please help.

  • How to integrate adobe flash widgets from Adobe captivate with Adobe Presenter?

    Hi all,
    We are a group of students who are creating a number of flash widgets that allows them to create e-learning  activities. We are creating specific widgets in Flash  for use in Captivate and then the results of the widgets in Adobe Presenter. The  client noticed that widgets that work in Adobe Captivate don't always work in  Adobe Presenter. Is there a way to make this function  correctly?
    Secondly, if it  isn't possible to make that work correctly through the first method, is it  possible to utilise Adobe Air to do the same or similar process. The client  would prefer if we could integrate anything we use with an LMS and SCORM. But we  believe it may not be possible to do this with Adobe Air.
    Would someone be able to help us out with this?
    Thanx

    Some of the functionalities of CP4 (I assume that you use this version?) only work in a CP-published SWF, p.e. using the right mouse click as a trigger. I have inserted several CP-SWF's into Adobe Presenter, while using some of the widgets provided with CP4 and did not have any problems with these (p.e. Flash button). But I do not know what kind of widgets you created. Do they function all right in CP4 itself?

    I have spoken to two customer service advisors via the "chat" fuction who have both promised that it will be looked at soon and I will recieve a serial number via e-mail but this has not happened.
    Is there anything further I can do to aid this process and to be able to use the software I have paid for?

    > Now where's that guy with the cracked version again..?
    sad thing is adobe drives people to this.
    and you know that for every person that jokes or half seriously considers it, there are dozens who won't even ask or mention it. they just need to get their work done and will turn to the cracked version at the 1st sign of DRM trouble to get access to the program they paid good money for because they don't have time to waste playing adobe's DRM game of hide the pea under the shell.
    that's what happens when you treat your "customers" like potential thieves before they even get the program installed.
