Opera and Flash Player

I am using Opera v 12 build 1467 as my browser and my OS is windows XP SP3. I have been trying to watch content from BBCi player and a message appears telling me to update my Adobe Flash Player. I have followed the instructions on the Adobe website but still get the same message. I have verified (via the control panel) that the laterst version is installed ( 11.3.300.262) but still get the same message. If I go to the adobe flash player help page there is no image in the box and no matter how many times I've tried to uninstall and then reinstall the flash paler the results are still the same. I have also checked Opera Plugins to see if it disabled but there is no entry for the flash player although shockwave & acrobat are there.
It appears to work fine in Firefox ( v. 13.0.1).
Is there something else I need to do or does the flash player simply not work in Opera?
I wouild really like to continue using Opera as it works well with few clitches.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated but please keep it as simple as possible as I am not very good with code or registry editing.
Many thanks,
Dingiso

Issues with Opera and Flash Player

Hi everybody!
I just installed Arch Linux some days ago on my SSD drive and I have to say I'm loving it!
However, I'm having troubles with flashplayer on Opera. I installed both the browser and the plugin from the official repository.
The plugin is correctly recognized by opera and listed in opera:plugins but whenever I visit a page which requires it, all I can see is a black rectangle instead of the video.
In the wiki there are some suggestions on how to optimize the plugin; I tried those but they didn't work.
On firefox everything works fine, but I'd prefer to stay on Opera.
I also tried with gnash-gtk but also that doesn't work on opera
As suggested on a post on the opera website I also checked the dependencies of the flash player, but all the required shared libraries are present on the system.
I don't know what else to do. Any ideas?

Getting Big Headache, What is difference between Flash Lite 3.1 and Flash Player 7

Hello, I am asking questions about the two similar yet different programs for Pocket PC version only:
1) Which came first, Flash Lite 3.1 or Flash Player 7?
2) If I have both in my Pocket PC, will there be product incompatibility?
3) What is the difference between Flash Lite 3.1 and Flash Player 7.
4) I have a Flash Lite 3.1 but uninstall information says "Flash Lite 3.1 for Opera Mobile", did you releaase this? Is this an illegal copy? A developer's copy?
*I don't know exactly where I got it, but I got it from the HTC developer's forum: XDA-developers.com
*I also use Opera mobile, a web browser for Pocket PC's.
5) What is difference between Flash Lite 3.1 and Flash Lite 3.1 for Opera? Is the only difference is that Flash Lite Supports everything flash related, while Flash Lite Opera supports only flash in opera?
Hi, I don't expect all answers, but I hope someone or someone from adobe support can clear some things up for me.

The program under my "remove programs" list is specifically called "Adobe Flash Lite for Opera". The XDA forums people said along time ago that it was Flash Lite, and kept calling it Flash Lite, and not Flash Player 7.
Now what about this:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashlite/version/
The table shows the differences between FP 7 SDK, FL 2.1, and FL 3.1. And it's quite obvious that FL 3.1 has way more features than Flash Player 7. What does SDK mean? And why are you telling me FP 7 has more features?
With this information, can you or anyone else provide any more details and clarification?

Adobe Reader 11.0.03 and Flash Player 11.8.800.94 Not Working on Windows 8

On a computer running Windows 8 Enterprise, Adobe Reader 11.0.03, and Flash Player 11.8.800.94, I am unable to open a flash-enabled PDF. Reader gives me the error "To view the Flash technology content in this PDF file, please install this version of Flash Player that supports Adobe Reader and Acrobat." Adobe's Flash verification page shows me that Flash Player is working, and I can open other basic PDFs in Reader. I have another machine with an identical setup, except that it has Acrobat 11.0.03 instead of Reader, and the PDF opens just fine on that machine. Why won't Reader open the Flash-enabled PDF?

How can we update or manage the Adobe Product for example Adobe Reader and Flash Player in a enterprise environment. Enterprise lifecicle management

We want to maintenance the adobe products in the enterprise environment. Specially Update for he reader and players.
Thanks

You will need to apply for both Reader and Flash Player Distribution agreements if you intend on enterprise deployments of these products.
Adobe - Adobe Runtimes / Reader Distribution License Agreement
If you are using SCCM and SCUP then use the available catalogs for both products.

Adobe reader and flash player can't be installed any more on 10.8.5

I am working with 10.8.5 since many months all right. After the last note from adobe to update my flash player i updated it as told. Unfortunately while installing there came a message "adobe installer was quit unexpected".
I tried to uninstall the old version with the adobe uninstaller. I can not install this one also, same message.
Now my reader and flash player don't work.
How can i manage to install them again?
Thanks for some help!! Mike

Then post your question on the Adobe forums since it's their software you're having problems with. This forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, and not related to Adobe in any way...

Installing Reader and Flash Player

I am trying to install Reader and Flash Player on my Mac but it asks for a password, but it rejects both my Adobe password and my Apple password. How do I install these products?

You need to provide the admin password of your system.

Windows Media player and flash player conflicting

Hello,
I have a problem with watching streams (television programs)
on the internet. I think this is caused by conflicting roles of
windows media player and flash player. When i don't have installed
flash player i can watch the streams. When i install flash player,
i see only green and red blocks on the respective screen. I don't
know where the problem lies. I have installed Windows Media player
again, (also Flash player) but this hasn't worked. The streams work
with Mozilla firefox.
I hope you could really help me,
Sincerily,
Tuncie

Hi Tuncie
Verify that Windows Media Player is not set as the default
player for all content in Firefox including Flash.
Also, please respond with a URL for testing.

Acrobat reader 10.0.x for windows and flash player update

i don't understand why my client require the update of reader (update of 10.0.1), but in the download page (.msp file) i can't find nothing. the other problem was about the update of flash player....i need to distribute the update over GPO, but adobe doesn't release from download page....is because the update are integrated in acrobat reader new release?
the metod is wrong! security is very important and release the updated version of software is also foundamental! IT Pro need an update (.msp or .msi) for the reader and for player.....faster not when you want
so....how you think to resolve this problem? how i can resolve my problem about the update?

Here you'll find the msi and msp files for the Acrobat Reader ("reader" folder on ftp) and Acrobat Pro ("acrobat" folder on ftp). ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/ . Save the link to your bookmarks.
For updating/installing Flash Player you'll have to go over here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
There's a distribution license needed to deploy the flash player (don't ask my why the hell you'll have to get a license to deploy it in internal environments, although you can download and install it without the license).
Best of luck, i needed a hole day to preparing deployment of cs5.5 and flash player etc. because of lack of information or consistency at the adobe pages and different methods for diffrent products. There should be a way to charge adobe the time it needs to get started, because they earn a damn lot of money with their cs products so they should provide better methods to do these tasks... but thats an endless story, because they're a monopolistic global player i think they aren't really interested in the needs of customers. There's not a real alternative, especially in education you're bound to use it, so you're gonna buy it anyway...

I tried playing a you tube video, but received a message prompt to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. The link to Adobe stated that there are issues with MAC OS X 10.7 and Flash Player 10.3. The new version did not download. Any Suggestion

(Released 4/16/2014) Flash Player 13.0.0.201 (Mac only) (44.67 MB)
That has the fixed Flash 13.0.0.201 plug-in and the debugger. in it. You just need to run the regular installer from that zip file.

I like to play games on facebook and for some reason I keep getting an error message saying that the shockwave player and flash player has crashed I use firefox could someone please give me step by step instructions to fix this issue?

I have Windows 8.1, my adobe player is the most updated version also.... hope this helps

Yeah, Firefox and Flash Player isn't a super stable combination on Windows 8.1 at the moment. We're collaborating closely with Mozilla to improve that, but that effort is going to happen over several months.
In the meantime, you might want to take a look at the other options. Microsoft invested a lot of time and effort into making the Flash experience on Win8.1 really good in IE, as did Google with Chrome.
