PLEASE HELP!! Flash Player failure in Yahoo Email Chat

Dear Forum,
Could somebody explain why the latest version of Flash Player
makes Yahoo Email chat unusable?
- Today (October 17, 2008) I uninstalled the old version of
Flash Player and Adobe Shockwave, rebooted and installed the latest
version directly from Adobe's website.
- Yahoo Email chat function returns this message 'Your
browser must have Flash 9.0 or higher installed to load the chat
feature.'
- Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs shows 'Adobe Flash
Player 10 Plugin (10.0.12.36), Adobe Shockwave Player 11 installed.
I don't understand why this Yahoo message is appearing when I
have version 10 installed?
Thanks in advance,
Peter.
PS: Please note that I also have 'Adobe Flash Player 9
ActiveX' installed as I use Firefox 3.0.3 on a Windows XP SP3
system and sometimes some website components don't function without
this ActiveX software.
Please also note I understand the difference between Flash
Player and Shockwave Player and the fact they are two separate
things. As mentioned I have the latest versions of both programs
installed.

I suspect this is a Yahoo problem. They'll need to update
their Flash Plaeyr detection. I wrote about it yesterday in several
threads on this forum, and in my blog at
http://bentimagemedia.com/.
You should contact them immediately and let them know.
I ran a quick test and I had no problem using chat in FireFox
with the FP10 plugin. It only failed when I tried it in IE6 with
the FP10 ActiveX control (see below). Make a note of this when you
contact yahoo.
In the meantime, I'll see if we have any connections at yahoo
that we can ping on our side..
<<PS: Please note that I also have 'Adobe Flash Player

This is incorrect. The Flash Player ActiveX control is only
used with IE Windows. All other browsers and platforms use the
Flash Player plugin.

Please Help, Flash Player for Mac

I am running Mac OS X 10.7.5. Last night Facebook told me I MUST update to the newest version of Flash Player in order to upload multiple pics. I kept getting plug-in failure messages and then the message saying I need to update my version of Flash.
Problem is I have updated my version of Flash and the plug in still doesn't work. Please help, my business relies on my being able to upload multiple photos daily to social media. What is going on? I have read the forums, the work arounds posted on 4/16. Uninstalled, re-installed, etc. I am still getting flash plug in failures even on Adobe's site. What do I do?

No.
I am in the same boat. I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer, although all other flash videos (YouTube for example) are fine.
For reasons that passeth all understanding, they work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have anabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
But there is a workaround!
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
I am using Flash 10.1.102.64 in TenFourFox and it works just fine.

Please install Flash Player HD to continue

When I start my computer I frequently get a screen showing "Please install Flash Player HD to continue"
Is this legitimate or malware?

There is no "Flash Player HD" from Adobe. Flash Player will play HD video if the video embedded is HD.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Flash Player (Mac OS X)
THOSE are the "legitimate" installers.
In Windows, go to: Control Panel>System and Security>Flash Player (32bit)>Advanced to check your version.
In Mac OS X, go to: System Preferences>Flash Player>Advanced.
The current version is 11.9.900.152
If yours is lower than that, use the appropriate link(s) above to update.
If you STILL see the update notices, you have malware producing them, but such malware wouldn't work on a Mac.

Adobe Flash Player Failure on PowerMac G5. Please help!

I have a PowerMac G5 computer, running OSX Version 10.4.11. Up until yesterday, the computer performed flawlessly. Suddenly, yesterday, I get a message from Firefox (the browser I usually use), telling me that my Flash Player had been disabled because I did not have the most up-to-date version of Adobe Flash Player. When I investigated, I found out that the newest version was NOT compatible with my computer. So I tried reinstalling the most recent version of Adobe Flash Player that IS compatible and have had no success. When I go in to System Preferences and click on the Adobe Flash Player pane (under other), I get a message reading "could not load Adobe Flash Player." What can I do? Someone out there must know how to handle this. I'm not in a position to purchase a new computer, and I desperately need Flash Player for some of the websites I use quite often. I'm really frustrated and keep being given the "runaround." Certainly there must be some way to fix this so that I can still run Flash Player on my computer! HELP !!!

Hello, yes it's a shame that they don't even test for our PPC Macs anymoreto see if the Update is applicable... which it isn't!
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
Download this if you haven't...
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp10.1.102.6 4_and_9.0.289.0archive.zip
Once downloaded if it doesn't unzip automatically the double click on that file.
Look for the fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive folder, open it, look for the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 folder & open and look for 101r10264 folder & open it, double click on the flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg file, choose the Install Adobe Flash Player file to install... they don't make it easy!

Can you help with facebook Shockwave Flash player failure?

Over the past 4-6 weeks I have had an increasing issue with the failure of Shockwave Flash player while playing games on facebook. I have tried all kinds of things to fix the issue, and finally am bringing it to you. It is happening to gamers the world over especially in the Farm Town game by Slashkey..but not exclusive to Farm Town. I have had it fail with Candy Crush Saga and even Scabble. Tonight I have uninstalled Google Chrome and reinstalled it..as well as Adobe flashplyer..and am about to also reinstall Shockwave..to say I am frustrated with it is putting it very mild.
Please help me fix this problem..and I then can post the fix for other gamers..

After going back last night and using the Adobe directions to uninstall flash paler from mac, I found it had previously been uninstalled improperly and each time I was trying to do over it was eating more memory and stalling more often.. but I filled the direction..and.. go to Adobe.com. then type in the search window uninstall flash player from mac... others would do the same to uninstall from windows or whatever operating system they might use. After being careful to use Adobe's method of uninstall, I then proceeded to make sure my both Chrome and Safari Cache's and histories were cleared and clean...I was instructed to then go back and reinstall Flash player..but not Shockwave, contrary to what I had previously been instructed. Next I did a shutdown and a clean restart.
Final step was to re-install Flash Player..but not Shockwave as I had previously been instructed..and to update my OS X to it's newest update.. It has run like a dream since.

Help Please with Flash Player Updates not installing

Hi,
Please could someone help? I have recently bought an Asus Laptop with 6 meg Ram & 2.4 Ghz & Windows 7 64 Bit and the vendor (Pc World) installed MS office, Adobe Flash player & full Norton 360 anti virus software for me. The issue I am having is that I am getting a message from Adobe saying an update to Flash player is available & when I click install it then goes to the small message box saying connecting and then it just hangs forever even though my wireless is at full strength & can also already be on the web searching other pages so it is not a internet connection problem.
When I try to download the latest version ( I have 10.3. & trying to download 11.) direct from Adobe it then it starts the download after I click Run and then during initialisation it get to 12% each time & then says connection timed out & this all happens in space of 1 - 2 seconds.
I have gone to Internet options & the Security Tab & have moved the slider to "medium" on both Internet & Trusted Sites Tabs as advised by Adobe site, the Active Scripting is also enabled & ActiveX Filtering is also disabled.
Could Norton be causing the block & if so please can someone help me on how to sort this as Norton support has been useless blaming it all on Adobe?
Many Thanks in advance for anyone's assistance

If that link does not allow you to move the iPhone to what is essentially a different computer from iTunes point of view then there is no way to do it. I don't know why, but if you explain what issues you had trying someone may be able to help.

Help Please? Flash Player not working, windows 7 32 bit IE.

Hi. I cannot get the Flash player to play content in Internet Explorer 32 bit. I am extremely frustrated. My info is:
Windows 7/64 bit
All windows updates are current
Dell studio 1749 Lap top
IE 8 32 bit
IE 8 64 bit
32 bit Flash Player 10.1.85.3
64 bit flash player "square" 10.2.161.22
windows firewall
High speed cable with wireless router
Avast antivirus free 5.0.677
I have spent several days reading this forum as well as other forums on the same subject and have tried many many suggestions that have been posted without results. I have checked my user account settings, mine is set to administrator. I have checked and rechecked Internet explorer internet option settings and tried them all including none ( set to not recommended lowest settings) for all the zones. I have reset internet explorer settings under the advanced tab. I have tried to install the flash player many times using both the auto install from the browser window as well as the manual download and install program from your web site many times. I have uninstalled from windows control panel and also using your manual uninstall program between each reinstall attempt.
I have restarted both my computer and internet explorer after each install and uninstall so many times I can't count. There are many other things I have tried as per some of the things I have read but so far no success. The interesting thing i find is while trying to fix this problem i downloaded the flash player code named "square" 64 bit and it works perfectly using Internet explorer 64 bit.
Internet explorere Adobe add ons are:
In IE 32 bit add ons listed are;
shockwave activeX control - enabled
get_atlcom Class - enabled
In IE 64 bit add ons listed are;
shockwave flash object - enabled
Files installed on my harddrive are;

I hope you are able to assist me in fixing this problem.
Thanks

Good Morning.
I can not get the batch file to create a log file. Anyway the general message throughout the entire batch file report is that nothing succeded. Each time it tried to create a reg key the resulting message is :
Regsetsecurity error : 5 access is denied
When trying to reset FP security permissions:
Set security privilage : access is denied
Warning :unable to SeSecurityPrivilage privilage. This privilage may be required.
Then when it tries to create file "macromed" error is
Createfile error : 1314 A required privilage is not held by the client
Anyway this gives you a general idea of what has happened running the batch file,
I am starting to think we are spending far to much time on this ,but I enjoy the challange to correct the problem.
If this is due to a corruption or some such thing in the registry I could have reformatted and reinstalled My system complete in less than a day. This is the fourth day on this.
If the User Accounts list me as the administrator and there are no other accounts how can I not have the required permissions?

PLEASE FIX FLASH PLAYER.. once and for all.

ok,,, can someone from this company PLEASE release an update
to flash player that WORKS CONSITENTLY with WINDOWS VISTA x64... I
mean this is rediculous.. how long has vista been out now??? what
is the big deal.. every couple of hours its the same thing internet
explorer always crashes because of flash9.ocx or whatever the damn
file name is.. and generally just after I wrote a 10 paragraph
email or something.. I mean.. this thing stinks. I have to use the
damn thing because everything on the damn internet requires it...
so Im stuck.. but its junk and continuously crashes the browser..
the most aggrevating part of VISTA by far is YOUR product.. please
FIX IT..
thank you.

Hah! That's what i was thinking when i wrote it. However, you
should know that you'll never be taken seriously unless you spell
correctly (or you're me) and without using cap lock. You're looking
for assistance from human beings.
Also, look up 64 bit operating systems on wikipedia or
google.
http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/systemreqs/
"Microsoft® Windows® XP with Service Pack 2 or
Windows Vista™ Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, or
Enterprise (certified for 32-bit editions) "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit#Software_availability
"64-bit systems sometimes lack equivalents to software that
is written for 32-bit architectures. The most severe problem is
incompatible device drivers. Although most software can run in a
32-bit compatibility mode (also known as an emulation mode, e.g.
Microsoft WoW64 Technology), it is usually impossible to run a
driver (or similar software) in that mode since such a program
usually runs in between the OS and the hardware, where direct
emulation cannot be employed. "
Now since i have A 32 bit system myself, i am not very
involved in this matter, but it looks from the above that you can
look into an emulation mode, if it really is that much of an issue.
I'm trying to help you, but it's getting very late here.

PLEASE HELP-Flash Version 9.0

Everything was working fine this morning. I went to the
Playhouse disney.com website for my sons. It said I needed to
update my flash player. I downloaded 9.0 for MAC powerPC (I have
version 10.5). The download did not finish, stating I needed a
different plugin. It redirected me back to the same page for
downloading 9.0. I did the uninstall flash player. It said it
worked. I tried to install 9.0 again. Now, it said that I don't
have permission to access the installer. What do I do? If anyone
could please help me, I would really appreciate it!!!
This is the error message I get- 1008:5-5000 Denied Access

Help - flash player v6 standalone for mac OS 8.6?

desperately looking for flash standalone player v6 for mac OS
8.6. tried the adobe downloads archived flash player section:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=2
theres an extensive version 6, but the install only installs
browser plugins, not the standalone player. even if someone has a
v6 standalone player they could zip and email me i would be
eternally grateful.
the release notes talk about a standalone, but its not in the
hqx file that the link gives you.
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/releasenotes/player/rn_6.html

What are you trying to do? Mac 8.6 is so old as is the Flash
6 player.
ASFAIK, the stand alone players are not generally
distributed. They are only included with the Flash authoring tool.
Maybe it was different back in 2001...
If you have a copy of Flash that runs on Mac OS 8.6 (or
perhaps even OS 9) here is a trick that may help you. (Some of the
names might be off a bit due to changes in the interface. I can't
remember that far back!)
Open up Flash.
Create a new Flash document.
Save it with a name like "MyFlashPlayer"
Go to the File menu and select publish options.
Check the box to publish a Mac projector.
Uncheck the publish to SWF box
Publish your file.
You can now use the projector to open swf files.
Don't know if that will help, but it might. Otherwise let us
know what you are trying to do.
