Problem with Adobe Flash Player

I'm using an iMac quad i5 running Mountain Lion. Adobe Flash Player
works on only one of the two user accounts on the machine. Both users are
are set up as administrators. Both user accounts see the Flash Player in the
Preferences. Whenever you try to load youtube on the second user
it says you need to install the current version of Flash Player. I've
unistalled and reinstalled several times but it never sees it on the second
user account. Only the first user account. What am I missing here?

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 4.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
2. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin  
You may be prompted for your login password.
3. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
4. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
5. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
6. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

    Hi,
    Download and install ActiveX if you use Internet Explorer.
    You need to install plug-in if you use Firefox, Opera, or Safari.
    The following link has step-by-step information: http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_heading_5
    Also, after installing ActiveX, ensure that you disable ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer. See the following link for details: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9_

  • I have a problem with adobe flash player

    I have a problem with adobe flash player.
    It is install but not running

    Try a fresh install of Flash after completely uninstalling it using the application Adobe Flash Player Install Manager, in the Utilities folder. Then re-download and install from ww.adobe.com
    If you are still having problems you could try installing Google Chrome as it has its own version of Flash built-in and doesn't require the separate installation of Flash.

  • Windows vista - IE 7 - problem with adobe flash player

    last week I bought a notebook with MS vista home premium,
    after some hours of
    enthusiasm I had problems with adobe flash player.
    Accessing to some sites I receiveed the requested to install
    flash player, I did it and even if the installation seemed
    ended fine I always got the pop up with the request to
    install Flash player, as if it were not previously installed.
    I did a boot after every installation.
    I read your forum on:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=44&catid=184&threadid =1262552&enterthread=y
    and I tried to follow some suggestions reported on it , like
    uninstall the flash player using the
    downloaded uninstall program from adobe site then I tried to
    reinstall flash player “as administrator”
    but always the installation appeared to end fine, the
    programs was present into macromed flash directory
    but I continue to receive the pop up to install flash player,
    moreover some
    images commonly shown when I visit the same sites from
    another PC with XP are not shown on the new
    pc with Vista, I think that also this problem could be
    connected to flash player not well installed
    One of these sites is www.rossoalice.it or youtube.
    At this point, I think that the problem can be on the
    registry but I don’t know what I can check.
    I sow on the above adobe forum that mr. Darren J. McNally was
    involved in this kind of problem,
    every your suggestions will be very appreciated.

    I got my computer about 6 months ago and i use
    foxfire but i need explorer to work for my games but the adobe
    flash player dont work i think if this cant be fixed vista i

    and laugh or follow instructions or get back to. this be an angry

  • Problem with adobe flash player on my new computer

    I bought a new computer window 8 and as you know adobe flash player is already installed but now flash player won't play some videos on the windows 8 internet exploer unless i swicthed it to the desktop. when i try to watch it says i need to install flash player but i have flash player that says on windows 8. so i there any way i can watch my videos?

    This reply is to both of you trying to help me through my ordeal with Adobe Flash Player.  I followed both of your advices to no avail. I even enlisted the help of my husband to see if I was doing something wrong or missing a step. He assured me I was doing everything by the book.
    Well, bottom line is number
    1: I never found "Extensions Adds ons and Plug Ins" in Firefox. I looked everywhere and it's simply not on my screen. I opened everything, looked at every line, every box, every space (with my husband next to me looking also).
    Number 2: I got a message that reads: Firefox prevented this site (get Adobe.com) from asking you to install software on your computer.
    By the way, I uninstalled Webroot at the beginning and never reinstalled it. Restarted my computer. Tried all the steps you guys suggested, restarted my computer I don't know how many times.
    One time I got Adobe Flash Player installed "successfully" and then I got excited and tried YouTube, videos on Facebook, CNN and guess what? Nothing. No Adobe Flash Player.
    By the way, my husband has the same problem at his work computer. He got an Information Systems technician to work on this and voila! he could not fix the problem either. Any other suggestions out there? If anybody from Adobe reading this?
    To say I am fed up is putting it mildly. I am so mad at Adobe for putting this piece of garbage out there.  I can only compare it to Vista.
    Oh by the way, I keep getting this notice that my" windows drivers are out of date" and guess what?  I have no idea which ones because they don't say. I checked my updates and supposedly I am up to date. I went to Microsoft and they have a million, so how am I supposed to know which ones?
    I am also upset at Microsoft, ha, ha.
    I am going to bed, tomorrow will be another day.

  • Ram problems with Adobe Flash Player 9

    Hi,
    I have a program that runs with Adobe Flash Player 9 and it
    seems that there are memory leaks with this program, in conjunction
    with a poker program known as Jungle Poker. My system resources
    seem to go to 1 or 2%. The text gets bigger and I have to quit out
    of the program. Once I do that its fine for anywhere from 5 to 30
    minutes but it again has the problem.
    My system specifications are:
    I have a pentium 3 800mHz 128MB ram 30 GB hard drive with
    \windows 98 SE
    I have a picture of the problem if it helps.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    I experienced the same problem on my Win7 Pro SP1 x64 lenovo T410 laptop with Intel HD Graphics.  There was no video driver update available.
    I followed the instructions in this topic: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/853591 (step #4) and went back to version 10.2.
    Problem solved.  I just have to remember not to do any updates to flash player when prompted.  I'll come here first to make sure the problem is fixed.

  • Having problems with Adobe Flash Player 11.8. What can I do to get this rectified?

    Had new version of Adobe Flash player on Windows 8 . Was on yahoo. com playing Publishers Clearing House Games, when last night the system went dowm part way. Playing Sunken treasure for $1000.00 entry or tokens when it played the game but would not exit to next game when it should. I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player like specified then reinstalled but still having problems. What can I do now. I have had this problem before with the same results. Was informed that Adobe was having the problems with this version.It gets to be aggrivating if not rediculous.

    Thanks.  Do you know if he will have to have his own iTunes account as well?

  • Problem with adobe flash player 11.3

    Hey, I hope I'm in the right place, I basically came here for help with a problem I've been having.
    For a while now I've not been getting any sound on Google Chrome, and it was suggested a bug in Adobe Flash player 11.3 was the problem. I tried to uninstall it using this http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html, but for some reason the uninstaller hasn't seemed to have worked. I was careful to close all programmes using flash so I don't know what I did wrong.
    Any suggestions about why the uninstaller might not have worked? Better yet, is there a patch that will fix the bug without me having to uninstall adobe?

    Flash Player is embedded into Chrome, contact Google.

  • Update problems with Adobe Flash Player preinstalled via Chrome. Can any one help?

    Dears, I am using the Chrome and it says it has installed the Adobe Flash Player and the auto updater. I selected to be advised every time an update is available, before it gets installed. During the start up of my Windows system (i.e. the "autoexec" run) the Flash Player auto updater  sometimes indicates there is an Adobe Flash Player update to be installed. Most of the time it is indicated BEFORE the autoexec finishes its sequence and thus still do not have an internet connection perfectly set up. At this point in time the adobe flash player auto updater window indicates there is an error and asks me to retry. Normally I wait a few seconds so the Autoexec run is finished and retry again. Most of the time the adobe flash player auto updater window indicates a second error message, claiming there is still an error. I have already attempted to connect the internet again and normally I am successful, indicating there is NOT a problem with the internet connection. At this point I give up trying to update the Adobe Flash Player and close the window. Can someone give me some light on how to fix this????

    The Adobe Flash Player updater DOES NOT update the PepperFlash plug-in in Chrome. Chrome uses a PPAPI plug-in and Adobe ONLY updates the NPAPI plug-ins for IE and other browsers. You can ONLY update the PepperFlash plug-in for Chrome by updating Chrome. The PepperFlash plug-in is a separate file in a separate folder location.

  • Volume problems with Adobe Flash Player 11.7 r700

    Hello,
    Whenever I used to watch Youtube or other video through Firefox, my volume would remain at whatever volume I had set for Firefox in my Volume Mixer.  The last few iterations of Firefix (currently 20.0.1), however, have seen a new item, "Adobe Flash Player 11.7 r700" appear in my Volume Mixer whenever I go to Youtube or any other audio/visual element within Firefox, and it always starts at maximum volume, and even when I manually open my Volume Mixer to turn it down, sometimes opening a new tab/window causes the volume to "reset" back to maximum again.
    This has gone from being a nuissance into a real annoyance, and I am seeking help trying to figure out what's going on and how I can stop it.  Thanks very much in advance for any help that can be provided.
    PS - this problem also happened with 11.5 r502 and 11.6 r602, but the thread I was directed to report the original problem has apparently been removed from Adobe's site...

  • Is Adobe having problems with Adobe Flash Player 11.7?

    I have Adobe Flash Player 11.7 installed on my computer and my wifes. I am getting requests for Adobe Flash Player to be uploaded. I have uploaded and uninstalled to try and fix this problem three times.This is not only interfering with my use of the computer but it is also annoying. Also today I was asked to update the Flash Player and install. When I did this my computer went beserk with add ons which I had to completely wipe them out of my computer to get it working. What the heck is going on?

    Can you post a screenshot of such a request?
