Why is flash player still not working (please fix it adobe)

I have installed, uninstalled downloaded other things that have been suggested and this has been going on for weeks now. It works then it doesnt and I start the whole process again. Please fix this adobe, these are not isolated instances, its a problem for a lot of people. HEEEELLLLLPPPP.

I had a similar experience, when the alerts telling me to upgrade flash
(from Youtube, and which I had already done) I added a widget to Firefox
called "Flash Video Resourced Downloader" and Poof, it began working
again, this stayed a week, and then three days ago, quit again, on all
machines.
Im having trouble with who to blame, as flash "seems" to be working on
all other sites, and validates on the test flash & Shockwave page just fine.
Of course, Youtube provides NO WAY to contact or complain, and if they
did, it's doubtful anyone would speak english anyways, and they'd prefer
us to thing Flash is the problem, when its some illiterate coder there
who's screwed it up.

Please fix the adobe flash player intergrity check error as soon as possible..

Earlier I did not have this problem but now when I download the adobe flash player , the adobe download manager says at 100% that the flash player did not pass the intergrity check. I tryed every possible solution but nothing is working , it seems there is something wrong with the web page that offers the flash player download.
this is how it happens
adobe DLM starts downloading the flash player
stucks at 2.2%
reconnects & starts downloading
stucks at 4.7%
reconnects & starts downloading
then at 100% an message appears saying that the flash player did not pass the intergrity check..
if I resume the download process it goes on & repeats the same thing
or if I stop the download process then it stops but the flash player completion movie appears saying that I have install flash player version 8 ! ( pretty weird )
I hope adobe will take immediate action for this.
Thank you.

Thanks it worked ! , but I need to know why I cant download it using adobe DLM as usual ? because this wasn't a problem earlier about 3 weeks ago
this happened after re-installing the operative system ( but I have installed the flash player using DLM many times after re-installing the OS , therefore this was not a problem )
my OS is windows XP service pack 2
web browser - internet explorer 6
additional information -
I installed the flash player using DLM for mozila firefox in the normal way & it worked perfectly , no errors at all. it seems this problem arises only for internet explorer. I even tryed the installation after upgrading IE 6 to IE 8 , but the problem is still there
anyway thank you very much for the alternative download link.

Any way to temporarily ignore smart guides while using the pen tool?

I'm having a hate and love relationship with Smart Guides. When I want them they're bad; when I don't they're good.
While trying to do some things with the pen tool, I am frequently faced with the smart guides snapping my tool around without my wanting it snapped. I'm not really that good with the pen tool yet, so it's making an uphill climb even harder when they interfere.
Now I know that I can disable smart guides by doing Ctrl-U, but this has the side effect of releasing my pen from the current curve I'm working on. When I click the end of that curve to start where I left off it changes the anchor to a corner instead of curve and messes up what I was going on. This wouldn't be such a problem except that I sometimes want the guides while I'm still on the same curve so I don't want to fully disable them as I'm working and then have to re-enable to fix a spot, know what I mean?
So, is there a key I can hold down to temporarily turn disable smart guides or ignore them in some way? I've hit quite a few keys trying this out so I'm guessing no. This probably indicates I just need to improve my skill to learn how to work with this best.

At least up to Illustrator 13, there is a trick or rather a lousy hack that involves the Snap to Grid command and its talent to temporarily disable any Smart Guides functionality. The following has to be prepared in case you're going to execute the hack as an action:
1. In the Actions Palette, create a new Action set. Call it 'Disable Smart Guides'.
2. Within the Action set, create a new action. Call it 'Disable Smart Guides', assign an F-key to the action, let's say F3, and hit Enter.
3. In the Actions Palette menu, select the Insert Menu Item command and go to View > Snap to Grid
4. Stop recording the action
5. Go to Edit > Preferences > Guides & Grid
6. In the Gridline Every text box, enter 0,01 mm. It's the minimum value you can set here.
7. In the Subdivisions text box, enter 1000, the max. value accepted here.
Now, take any document, turn on Smart Guides, make sure Snap to Grid is turned off, and start drawing a path. Hit F3 and continue drawing the path. Hit F3 again as soon as you need your Smart Guides again.
As you can see, after hitting F3 to enable Snap to Grid, the path will not be interrupted when placing the next point. And as you've got a kind of microscopic Grid settings, Snap to Grid has almost no influence on where the points are placed. In fact, it still snaps, but due to the absurd Grid settings it's rather negligible.
This palpable workaround was originally invented by a young lady located around Edmonton in Canada.

Smart Guides Turning Off - Can't Turn Back On!!

I love the smart guides and use them all the time... unfortunately my smart guides have been turning off (I'm either inadvertently doing something, or this is a glitch or something going on) but after using smart guides on a document it all of sudden stops working. The only way I've been able to negotiate around this problem is by opening a new document and just copying my old materials in there and moving forward like that. That's a pain and and also doesn't explain what's going on!!!
When I go View> Grids & Guides ... smart guides is selected but the option is grayed out and I can't change it even if I want to. I'm really not sure what's going on here. Using CS6
Any help is much appreciated!!!!

Okay ran the update but didn't seam to change the issue. When I tested the user ID I made a new one. The issue is that reguardless of the user id it seams like once it "goes bad" there is no getting it back. Since I'm working on these files at my job I'm on them for a while as part of a series or larger project. Its usualyl when I'm like 80%-90% done. Some of these files I've been working on for over a month and others I've only been working on for only a few days before the smart guides stop working. So far 3 out of 3 projects I've been working on have eventually run into this issue. Its hard to say when its going to stop working.

Apple, please fix safari random crash and tab auto refresh

Apple, are those issues ever going to get fixed? They destroyed iOS 7's usability and the latest 7.1 beta doesnt seem to address either.
1) Safari randomly crashes - happens multiple times a day. Sometimes opening new pages, sometimes scrolling through existing page. This issue has NEVER happened on iOS 6.
2) Tabs auto refreshing when you switch from 1 tab to the next - it is EXTREMELY annoying, for example when i was typing up a post in a tab or looking at the result of a long search, then need to lookup something else so i open up a new tab, then when I go back to the original tab, it automatically refreshes wiping out everything i just typed or the searh result. This issue has NEVER happened in iOS 6.

Please fix battery and slowdown problems with ios4.3.1(8G4)

similar to the cases other users facing, my iphone4 with ios 4.3.1 consumes 30% of battery overnight with all apps closed. it also became super slow when gaming (other apps closed) and responseless when surfing.
Really bad experiences, please fix them!

From what i've seen your experience with 4.3.1 on your phone isn't typical. You should do a clean install of 4.3.1 to see if this clears up your performance problems.

Adobe, please fix these bugs/features in Muse

So, here are a couple of really annoying things/bugs that keep happening in Muse.
(I've been working with the software for about three weeks, latest Muse CC update, on a MBP Retina, OS X 10.9.5, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB + 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3)
1. When I try to hit "Preview" and browse my website, the links to other pages than the initial one don't work, and you need to go back to the "Plan" and open each one of them individually, and then hit "Preview" in all of them, in order to be able to browse the entire website without getting blank pages.. Is there any way to come around this, and be able to set Muse to render ALL of the pages before previewing the website?
2. When I try to adjust the sizes of thumbnails in a slideshow, and zoom in on guides, it's IMPOSSIBLE to make them align perfectly to ANYTHING! The thumbnails just keep moving and popping around, and they don't follow the mouse movements at all, they just make rough changes in sizes and are very hard to work with. It doesn't matter if I zoom in 800% for example, things don't move or adjust smoothly at all, like in Illustrator for example.
3. Sometimes, it's impossible to copy a slideshow- it just freezes, even if I click down and select the thumbnail box. It seems like a bug, since the copy function comes back after I quit and restart the software, or just make a new slideshow from scratch and then delete it (seems to re-set something, I don't have a clue). The "copy" button under the "Edit" menu is simply shadowed out.. Why is that? It would be really nice to be able to alt-click-drag-and-drop these things, especially when you try to build a portfolio.. But, this is impossible for me, at the moment- the plus-sign in the green circle pops up, but it just moves the thumbnail section, it doesn't copy it..
4. Is there ANY way to make all slideshow thumbnail sections moveable? Even if they have the option "Free Form Thumbnails" deselected? What if I need to move lots of galleries on the same page, that need to have different form options selected, for visual reasons? At the moment, I can't select all different thumbnail galleries on my page, and move them all at the same time, which is quite irritating..
5. When I click a thumbnail in the middle or at the end of the gallery, there's a fast flash of previous images in the gallery, before the chosen image is shown fullscreen. Is there any way to get rid of this unwanted visual glitch? I just want them all to open like the very first image in the gallery, without any ghosting of previous images.. I have the horizontal swipe effect in these galleries, if that makes any difference..
6. Is there any way to make custom adjustments to thumbnail sizes, inserting a fixed width and height? Or, save a slideshow as a template, to use the same properties in another gallery?
7. Will it ever be possible to have different sizes of thumbnails in the same slideshow? What's the best way to make a gallery in a portfolio with artworks of different aspect ratios?
8. Why is not my embedded Youtube videos included when I export the project like a html-file? There's only a broken link/code in the video area, at the moment.. Will this be a problem later, when I really need to upload it on my server?
9. Is it not possible at all to import svg-files in a slideshow? Why is it possible in external widgets, but not in the built-in slideshow widget? I can place and import svg-files into the page, but not drag or import them to the slideshow itself..
I really like Muse, but I find it very hard and irritating to work with lots of times, so please fix these issues, or tell me how to avoid them, thanks!

A BIG THANK YOU for taking the time to share your thoughts regarding how to improve Muse. I've interspersed comments and clarifications below.
1. When I try to hit "Preview" and browse my website, the links to other pages than the initial one don't work, and you need to go back to the "Plan" and open each one of them individually, and then hit "Preview" in all of them, in order to be able to browse the entire website without getting blank pages.. Is there any way to come around this, and be able to set Muse to render ALL of the pages before previewing the website?
There are multiple ways to preview your work when using Muse.
Preview Mode - When you click the Preview button at the top right to open Preview Mode Muse will generate the HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images and assets for the page in the front Design view (or the Home page, if you're not in Design view) in the Preview tab/window. If you navigate to a different page by following a hyperlink Muse will generate the code for that page and display it. This in-app preview uses the OS browser, so the display uses Safari on the Mac or IE on Windows. Since the code for each page is generated/updated when it's navigated to, navigation to a page for the first time is slow.
Preview Page in Browser - If you select this option the code for the current page is generated and opened in your default browser. If you follow a link to another page, it will fail with a 404 file not found error, since this option only previews a single page. It's fast, but limited to one page.
Preview Site in Browser - If you select this option the code for your entire site will be generated and your home page will be opened in your default browser. You can freely navigate between pages via hyperlinks, since the preview exported the code for all the pages of your site. This option is very convenience for previewing your full site, but is much slower for a multi-page site than Preview Page in Browser.
Publish - If you select this option you can create a free temporary website on Adobe hosting. This is very handy when you want to view your site on multiple devices or have someone else review the site before you Publish or Upload the site to its production hosting location.
2. When I try to adjust the sizes of thumbnails in a slideshow, and zoom in on guides, it's IMPOSSIBLE to make them align perfectly to ANYTHING! The thumbnails just keep moving and popping around, and they don't follow the mouse movements at all, they just make rough changes in sizes and are very hard to work with. It doesn't matter if I zoom in 800% for example, things don't move or adjust smoothly at all, like in Illustrator for example.
The web is pixel based. There are (mostly) no fractional amounts. While you can zoom in, ultimately your output will be aligned (and limited to) whole pixel boundaries.
When working with thumbnails, the ramifications of working in whole pixel based media are magnified. For example, if you're using tiled thumbnails and have an 8 wide layout the total width will have to be a multiple of 8. You can only increase all 8 by whole pixel increments.
3. Sometimes, it's impossible to copy a slideshow- it just freezes, even if I click down and select the thumbnail box. It seems like a bug, since the copy function comes back after I quit and restart the software, or just make a new slideshow from scratch and then delete it (seems to re-set something, I don't have a clue). The "copy" button under the "Edit" menu is simply shadowed out.. Why is that?

But, this is impossible for me, at the moment- the plus-sign in the green circle pops up, but it just moves the thumbnail section, it doesn't copy it..
If Muse is truly freezing, we'd need to understand more about the steps involved. What I expect you're encountering is the fact you can copy and paste an entire widget, but you cannot copy and paste the individual parts of a widget. If you select the widget cut and copy are enabled. If you click a second time to select one part of the widget, then cut and copy are disabled. Most the widgets don't support having two parts of the same type (i.e. two next buttons, two sets of thumbnails, etc.) so at least copy and paste can't currently be supported. Those are limitations we'd like to remove, but for now they are the current limitations when working with widgets.
4. Is there ANY way to make all slideshow thumbnail sections moveable? Even if they have the option "Free Form Thumbnails" deselected? What if I need to move lots of galleries on the same page, that need to have different form options selected, for visual reasons? At the moment, I can't select all different thumbnail galleries on my page, and move them all at the same time, which is quite irritating..
I believe you're asking to be able to simultaneously select the thumbnail sets for multiple slideshow widgets? You're correct, that's currently not supported. The selection model is limited to selecting items that are siblings in the Layers panel. You can select two slideshow widgets, but not the parts inside one widget at the same time as the parts inside another.
5. When I click a thumbnail in the middle or at the end of the gallery, there's a fast flash of previous images in the gallery, before the chosen image is shown fullscreen. Is there any way to get rid of this unwanted visual glitch? I just want them all to open like the very first image in the gallery, without any ghosting of previous images.. I have the horizontal swipe effect in these galleries, if that makes any difference..
Noted as a feature request. When the sliding transition was implemented the most common ask was for the current behavior, so that's what's provided. Fade provides a transition between two images without any feedback of the images that were passed over.
6. Is there any way to make custom adjustments to thumbnail sizes, inserting a fixed width and height? Or, save a slideshow as a template, to use the same properties in another gallery?
Given the next question is about setting each thumbnail to be a different size, I'm not sure I understand this question. You can select a thumbnail and enter height and width values in the Transform panel or Control Strip. However, all thumbnails share the same size, so all of them will be updated to the new size. Not sure that answers what you're asking?
[edit: Zak] Regarding the second half of this question, a slideshow (or any other object or collection of objects) can be saved in the Library and used again in later projects.
7. Will it ever be possible to have different sizes of thumbnails in the same slideshow? What's the best way to make a gallery in a portfolio with artworks of different aspect ratios?
When "Scale to Fit" is used for the sizing of the thumbnails, they will appear with the aspect ratio of the original image sized to fit within the thumbnail container box.
8. Why is not my embedded Youtube videos included when I export the project like a html-file? There's only a broken link/code in the video area, at the moment.. Will this be a problem later, when I really need to upload it on my server?
Insufficient information here to be certain, but I suspect you've exported to a local folder and then opened the index.html (or other .html) file in your browser? When open a file directly in your browser "file://" protocol is used. Many/most services such as YouTube won't work on a .html page loaded using "file://" protocol. That's part of why Muse has a built-in mini-web server and the Preview, Preview Page in Browser and Preview Site in Browser features, which server up the .html files using "http://" protocol. Or you can Publish to a free temporary site on Adobe hosting.
9. Is it not possible at all to import svg-files in a slideshow? Why is it possible in external widgets, but not in the built-in slideshow widget? I can place and import svg-files into the page, but not drag or import them to the slideshow itself..
Correct. Support for SVG was recently added for Muse 2014.2. Support for including SVG graphics in slideshows was not part of the initial release.
In the future, while it may seem excessive, it's much more effective to create a new thread for each different issue/concern/topic you wish to discuss. When a thread starts with a large number of different topics it often goes unanswered because no one forum member or Adobe staffer feels qualified to respond to all the questions. Or, if it does get responses, it ends up being impossible to follow the discussion because so many different topics are intermingled. Thanks.

Smart guides and snap to point not working in Adobe Illustrator CC 2014

Hello,
I am having a lot of issues with Illustrator CC 2014 and the Smart Guides. Every time I try and snap one object to another or snap an object to a guide, the object snaps either above or below the guide/object but never snaps correctly. This also happens when I am zoomed in all the way!
I do not have align to pixel grid or snap to grid turned on.

David,
I do not have align to pixel grid or snap to grid turned on
It sounds as if Illy thinks the former.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

What have Adobe done to Smart Guides??

It's a great example of fixing something that wasn't broken!
I no longer know where I am with Smart Guides, but they've changed from a really useful, time-saving piece of functionality to something confusing and untrustworthy.
That said, I admit that the problem could be a lack of understanding of their new characteristics on my part, but...see my opening line...
Does anyone feel that improvements have been made here and if so, in what way(s)?

Guides assisting alignment with the point of an object aren't displayed or are displayed erratically, aligning with certain points, but not others.
In fairness to Adobe, part of the problem is the result of getting used to the new and excellent align to pixel feature, which makes a user less dependent on smart guides.

Adobe: Please fix the spacebar cut in multi-camera editing!!

Dear Adobe,
Please fix the BUG which makes a cut in your multi-camera sequence when you hit the spacebar! This is extremely annoying!!
Thanks!

Hi TacoRye.
Welcome to the club. When I saw this post, my eye twitched, my shoulders tensed up and I was brought back to a time (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4714549#4714549) when hitting stop did things that were wrong...just wrong. But as one who's been shut down and locked out of that topic, I'll kindly say that yes, multicam is a bit more enjoyable and free of that design flaw in Premiere CC. In fact, you'll probably like it for a few more things in CC as it's true that they have implemented several FCP favorites in the recent releases that even old schoolers probably say "hmmm, well now this is useful". I was a convert to CS6 from FCP this time last year and open to new things but that stop/pause issue drove me nuts. But it's fixed now in CC. And although I'm dealing with equally frustrating issues in CC on a daily basis unrelated to multcam, unless you use Warp Stabilizer a lot you probably won't experience them. All new software will have its bugs, etc. and I'm still holding out hope that the upcoming release will fix these issues. I have faith. Lots of exciting new features are coming in the next week or so which is all nice and good, but if the actual issues and bugs are fixed, I for one will be even happier.
Bottom line: I encourage you to update to Premiere CC if you do a lot of multicam. Just be sure to update to at least 7.0.1 (the current version as of this post) because the regular 7.0.0 version has a pretty awful multicam bug unrelated to the CS6 thing.
Enjoy...and don't be scared.

You are not speaking to Apple here. So none of us can "fix it."
TRy try quitting the Photos app followed by a reset of the ipad. To quit an app double click the Home button to reveal the row of recently used apps. Flick up on the page preview and it will fly away and disappear. That quits the app. Then Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

ITunes (11 I think) in smart playlists and folders won't apply the "Last Played" search criteria in real time. Please fix!!!

The major iTunes recent makeover, generally *****.
It's ugly to look at; it's grey and blue-grey and more grey. god, how drab can you get. You know how in the Finder we can assign colors to files, folders & applications. It would be fantastic to be able to do that to playlists and the folders of playlists within iTunes. Please add some color! And/Or let us choose the color format for our personal copy of iTunes, like some browsers do.
But more importantly I have some rather sophisticated smart playlists; many of which source other (smart) playlists & folders of playlists in my collection. With this current iTunes makeover (iTunes version 11 I think), they screwed something up. None of my smart playlists will apply in real time the "Last Played" search criteria. This is very annoying. Please, please fix it.
And how about the ability to duplicate a playlist, to make new playlist. Not to have two of the same playlists, but so the second one can then be edited to something similar to the first (as opposed to having to build a new similar sophisticated playlist from scratch). This would save a lot of time in some cases.

Please fix the update, before advertising useless prompts for updates, for paid versions.
Thanks

Nothing is attached.
You should also be aware that there are a number of scams and malwares claiming fake updates.
Please post your report and tell us exactly what product and exact version you have.
And be aware you aren't talking to Adobe.

Smart guides, please fix them adobe
