Resetting Flash Player browser plugin menu language to English?

When right-clicking on a Flash object in Safari 4 I was surprised to discover the menu was in Czech. And when I tried it under my wife's account it was in German. Neither of us have used any other language than English on the system so I'm totally baffled by what caused this change. I've been searching the web for a way to switch the language back to English and can't find anything even close to a solution. Version info from Safari's Installed Plug-ins page is:
Shockwave Flash 10.0 r22 — from file “Flash Player.plugin”.
It's only been installed/updated with Apple OS X updates; never manually. This is only happening on one of three Macs here, all which are nearly identically configured.
Any clues how to fix this will be appreciated -- thanks!

I figured out the problem:
*/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/Resources/English.lproj* was missing on the system with non-English text.
Like you, I fixed it simply by reinstalling from the Adobe distribution. My hunch is the OS X 10.5.7 update broke it when updating Flash Player, maybe confused by something from a previous manual FP update. The *.lproj folders differ on all three of my Macs, a sign of language inconsistencies between Adobe and Apple FP installations/updates. And deleting some of the empty ones fixed the problem of duplicates appearing under the Languages section of a Finder Get Info window.
This question has been answered but I'll leave it marked unanswered for a couple days so it's still possible to reply.

Distribution MSI for Adobe Flash Player for Plugin Browser

The MSI File provided for distributing Adobe Flash Player for Plugin based browsers (in this case Firefox) is not working when we test in our test environment.
It is working with the Windows XP Clients in the test group however it does not work with the Windows 7 Client Machines. Firefox prompts for a manual download of the adobe flash software. After the manual install of the Software flash player is working but there is a new item in the program catalog. Adobe Flash Player Plugin it's size is 6.00MB. Comparatively the size that is installed by the MSI is 16.xxMB and it doesnt work.
What I have tested
WSUS Install of MSI - Failed, Firefox prompts to install adobe flash
Client Install of MSI - Failed, Firefox prompts to install adobe flash
Intercept EXE from Temp Directory and then install after uninstalling MSI - Works
The problem appears to be in the MSI, like I said before it is working for the Windows XP Clients. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Anand,
If you have licensed Flash Player for distribution (which appears to be what you are doing), you should have received an email with the download links for the installers. If you are distributing Flash Player without first licensing it for such, you must apply for a distribution license at Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe. Once you do this, you will receive an email with the links to download Flash Player.
Further information on licensing, and distributing Flash Player within your organization is available in the Adobe Flash Player Administration Guide for Flash Player | Adobe Developer Connection.

Adobe Flash Player 11 plugin not working right

I have Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin, Widows Internet Explorer 8 and Microsoft Windows XP, version 5.1.2600. Why is it not dowloading pictures?

You might as well stop wasting your time. The problem seems to be centered around FireFox (since Adobe Flash seems to work fine with IE and Chrome). After FireFox begin running Flash as a separate process, it no longer retains preset volume settings for Flash, instead, each new FireFox window resets it to max volume. As a result, several times I've had my ears blasted (this can lead to hearing loss and/or damaged audio equipment). This only happens with newer versions of Flash. Consequently, I no longer use the latest versions in FireFox. I'm thinking about totally dropping FireFox and moving completely to Chrome. Looks like neither Adobe or FireFox are gonna budge to fix the problem.

Adobe Flash Player 10 PlugIn

Firefox 6.0.2
Windows 7 64 bit
I installed Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin today. When I go to Control Panel/Programs/Programs and Features it indicates that I have the new program as well as Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX. Should I delete Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX?
Where can I find Flash Player 10 Plugin on my computer?
Thank you.

The ActiveX version of Flash Player is used for Internet Explorer. Unless you really don't need it, I'd suggest keeping it installed. You won't find Flash Player in your start menu, but the actual files can be found here:
Windows 32 bit: C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
Windows 64 bit: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash

Flash Player 8 plugin problem, can get Flash content on Safari

I've been trying to install the Flash Player 8 OSX plugin on my Mac but it's not installing, ie when the installation is success a Flash Player logo is supposed to appear on the Macromedia web page and this hasn't happened.
I tested the Flash Player 8 plugin download on my PowerBook G4 and the installation was a success on my Safari Browser where I can view still view sites with Flash Plugins.
MacBook Pro 1.83 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Flash Player comes pre-installed on the MacBook. You have just overwritten the Universal version with a PowerPC version that, as you are now seeing, just plain doesn't work.
There is a thread that talks about replacing the files that you installed by mistake with the original Flash Player files. If you search I'm sure you will find it.

FLASH PLAYER MISSING PLUGIN PLEASE HELP!!

Since the Last Safari Update,I've been constantly getting a missing plugin message whenever FlashPlayer was required.
I have tried uninstaling/installing FlashPlayer from the adobe website. But still always asked to download the latest version.And later did disk permission repair/check, nothing worked. I even disabled som of the plugins i had read in the discussion that might cause some problems such as the java cocoa plugin, but flash player's plugin is still missing.
PLEASE HELP!

Latest version of Flash is 10.3.181.26
It installs in Macintosh HD/Library/Internet plug-ins and is available to all browsers.
Make sure you're getting the right one; there is one for Firefox, Safari and Opera and a seperate one for Chrome.
Best to install with all browsers closed (note - you have to open and authorise the installer - it doesn't install automatically on download).
If a browser's open, quit and reopen it to enable the plug-in.
Be wary of error messages claiming you don't have the right plug-in. Don't follow links from them, they're often used to redirect you to malware sites.
And ensure JavaScript is enabled when trying to view Flash; it won't work without it.

Firefox 3.6.23 having freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin

Firefox 3.6.23 is experiencing constant freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin, not sure if it is a conflict issue or not.
Since the update there had been no reported issues till today when the blue screen came up on me, this issue prior to plug in 11 had occurred at least 6 times, this issue only happens on firefox.
I do not wish to update since recent firefox browsers seem to have a lot of ongoing issues.

Anyone able to help please?
Thanks.

I recently installed Java 6 update 33, and adobe flash player 11 plugin, and now can't play any videos from any website in Mozilla, but Google Chrome works.

Cannot play any video from any website in Mozilla after installing Java 6 update 33, and adobe flash player 11 plugin. However, I can play videos from Google Chrome and also from Internet Explorer. For example, when I'm trying to play a you tube video in Mozilla, a black screen comes up with following error message: "An error has occurred. Please try again later."
(This is like the Wizard of Oz -- when the man comes to the little window in the door and says to Dorothy, "Come back tomorrow." )

This may be caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update.

Cs4 / win7 install stalls flash player 10 plugin--how to fix?

I am transferring Creative Suite to a new computer, Win7. I have CS3 with a CS4 upgrade. The CS4 upgrade install window is stalling halfway thru, on 'currently installing flash player 10 plugin'. Any suggestions? Do I have to quit and uninstall everything so far, just retry the install, or is there some other workaround?

Uninstall Flash Player separately from your Add or Remove Programs panel. it chokes, because there is already a newer version on your system and you need to get rid of it first. You may even go so far as to unistall everything Adobe and delete the caps.db as explained here.

McAfee installed with Adobe Flash Player 12 plugin update

Why did McAfee Security Scan Plus install when I updated Adobe Flash Player 12 plugin?

As I said in my first post, I not only saw this "no opt out" bundling myself, but I screencapped it and documented it.
That was... wait for it... LAST JULY.
If anyone had the intention of ending it, they would have by now.
THIS is the reason I always update EVERYTHING (Windows, OS X, CS3, CS4, CS5, CS5.5 and CS6, Office, Roxio... you name it) manually.
Microsoft keeps trying to push 8.1 and their %&#*'ing "Bing Desktop" with EVERY Windows Update, even though I've hidden both mutlitple times. You can't even update Java without the freakin' "Ask Toolbar" being pushed at you.
I know I'm not going to change it, so I changed my process for updating stuff.

Change Menu Language to English?

Hello! My hubby bought me a Nokia 7373 as a gift - we are currently located in Germany. When I put my sim card in the phone, the menu displayed in German _ is there a way to change the menu language to english??

You are going to have to find your way through the menus (sorry, I speak no Spanish):
-Menu
-Settings (spanner icon)
-Phone (phone and spanner together icon)
-Language settings
-Phone Language
You will probably find it set to 'Automatic', simply choose English from this list.

Flash Player 11 plugin failure on page load(32 bit, WinXP, FireFox 11)

Hello,
New forum user here - however, I must ask: why is the Flash Player plugin failing whenever a Flash object is loaded?
Before you say anything, bear in mind that I HAVE checked the Adobe help files on "My Flash player plugin crashed" and so on, as well as the Mozilla plugin check. Many times over.
Here are the specific versions:
Windows XP Professional 32-bit
Firefox 11.0
Flash Player plugin 11.2.202.233
A few other things I've tried:
- Running on Safari, Chrome, IE 8, etc. Most of the time, the browser crashes.
- Downgrading to Flash Player plugin ver. 10.3. Nada, plugin still crashes.
(I'm using YouTube to test plugin functionality.)
Finally, I'd like to note that I've also tried reinstalling, uninstalling, deleting AppData folders, deleting Program Files files, etc. Still, nothing.
This problem only started to occur today, if I recall correctly.
If there's some sort of method to recover a crash report, please post and I'll be more than glad to produce a report.
Thanks,
dud95

Never mind, found a solution to the problem. Feel free to lock.

[multimedia: player/browser-plugin] GPLFlash

Hi,
GPLFlash 0.4.11 has just been released (by me ), and Archlinux is now given the chance of being the first linux-distrobution to include it!!! GPLFlash is now almost usable...! Try it out!!!!
GPLFlash is a open-source (macromedia) flash decode, player and browser-plugin. It's not a functional as macromedias decoder - yet...
I uploaded it to incoming in a tar-ball "gplflash.tar.bz2" containing a pkg, PKGBUILD and filelist
Check out http://gplflash.sf.net

Feel free to fix the browser-plugin if you (or anybody else reading this) knowns anything about X-programming. The decoder itself rarely crash, but i wish i could say the same for the browser-plugin...

Updating Flash Player ActiveX / Plugin via SCUP / SCCM

Hello,
I am deploying Updates via SCUP and SCCM to hundreds of Computers, mostly with Windows 7 x64.
Fortunately Adobe provides an SCCM Update Catalog for both Adobe Flash ActiveX and Adobe Flash Plugin.
But now my Problem:
After publishing the Update via SCCM, the client is not supposed to be interfered with the Update Progress (which is working)
I figured the Updater works like this:
First SCCM checks if a Update needs to be deployed, if this is the case, The Flash Updater begins.
First the old Flash Version is beeing uninstalled.
But now: if the Client has a Browser Window (IE, or Firefox) open, the Updater is not able to install the new Flash Version and quits with an Error.
This leaves the Client PC without any Flash (because its being uninstalled before)
How can I prevent Flash being uninstalled due to the Update progress not working while a Browser window is open?
Thank you very much!
Sincerely Martin

Exactly the same issue here (see http://forums.adobe.com/message/6285043#6285043). We have stopped the deployment of that package since nearly every second client is affected by this. It seems that the installation package does uninstall the flash player ocx (both 32-bit and 64-bit), but does not install the new version.
I remember there was a bug at the beginning of this year, where the install package did install the new version, but marked it as "failed" in SCCM software center.. Just a few days later there was a new package in SCUP with the same version number...
