So frustration with daily, multiple times, losing adobe flash player!!

It crashes. I reinstall. It crashes. Over and over and over. Please, there has to be a solution. Do I have to give up Firefox????

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.

What's the best way to update my Mac with the latest version of Adobe Flash Player?

I've been getting prompts whenever I look at certain websites to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. I'm skeptical as to responding to those prompts. What is the best way to update my Mac Pro with the latest version of Adobe Flash Player?

You might also want to consider uninstalling Adobe Flash... I currently don't have it installed and haven't needed to install it. Most websites are now coded in HTML 5 so that the iOS devices can actually visit them. I can still watch YouTube videos et al. About the only thing I can't do is play Flash games... but they're a resource hog anyways.
Try going without for a day or two and see just how many sites you visit no longer require it. A lot of people keep it installed out of habit, not out of necessity. If you have Flash installed, visit a site and it's out of date, it will tell you to update your Flash. What it won't do is tell you is that had Flash not been installed, it would have used the HTML 5 code instead. Think about it... if an iOS device can't run Flash at all... it can't visit this site if it were written only to use Flash. What site would eliminate such a huge portion of their market base? You'd be surprised at how many sites use HTML 5. Uninstall Flash and see for yourself.

I'm frustrated that I cannot get the adobe flash player to successfully download on my computer.

I am frustrated with the failure to download latest adobe flash player. Viewing video is mostly impossible on most things I try, and I am ready to give up soon, and buy a Mac. What does this keep happening???

Please provide more details about your sytem and browser and the error message your are getting on your computer.

Bugs? Pop-ups with raw footage appearing after Adobe Flash Player down-loaded.

Hello! I am confused about what is appearing with my downloading Adobe Flash Player. I have used it before without problems but then I had to download it again to start holiday photos about 10 days ago. I immediately received pop-ups with raw footage (porn) on it. The ads said they were by 'bettersurf,' and 'done...' (something, I can't remember.) They would just pop-up in the middle of anything I was working on. I contacted Windows because it had a logo that looked like Adobe but it said that the windows media player needed to be updated. I'm good on all of that - no need to update. The only way to make it stop (I even blocked the sites from access, had the safety controls on 'strict' and parental safeguards on) was to turn off Adobe Flash Player. Well, I need to get the cards done and so I downloaded it again (with some difficulty I want to add even though I followed instructions to a 't'.) Sure enough I am getting pop-ups from the same ad company as before. I haven't yet seen porn but I'm suspicious. My system is 11.9.900.152 (64) Windows 7. Hopefully I have that right, I think that is the first no. When I check to see if Adobe Flash Player was downloaded correctly, etc. it verifies that it is. Can somebody help me? My daughter is young and I watch her when she is on the computer (I'm actually sitting right with her the whole time,) so I am positive she hasn't downloaded something wrong. And I want to add again that my settings are on strict, pop-ups turned OFF....and the pop-up regarding updating windows to have the flash player work correctly looks very much like a legit site - but I know it isn't.
Thank you so much for any words of advice.

You're infected.
Those ads DON'T come from Flash Player (or Adobe), but they DO use it to display.
Run a thorough virus scan, and download TDSSKiller to look for "adware".

Unique problem with installing new version of adobe flash player

Hi there. I am unable to install the newest version of adobe flash player. I am not getting any error messages like most people's issue on this forum. What happens is I run the installer, and it attempts to install for a second and then the installer screen goes blank , as you can see in the image. nothing happens after this. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Any tips on why this is happening?

Hi Casey,
When did you download this file? It is for a problematic installer that we removed from our servers last week (Wednesday 25-March). If it's still being downloaded it's either cached on our servers and we need to clear the cache again, or it may be cached by your browser, in which case, clearing the browser cache will download a new, non-problematic installer.
Thank you in advance.

I have a problem with FF 4.0b8 and Adobe Flash player where portions of the YouTube page or FF window will black out when I move my curser over buttons or tabs, etc. Any suggestions?

I'm running FF 4 Beta 8 with the latest Flash player (10.1.102.64). When I play YouTube videos, the video is loaded, starts, and plays okay, but when I move my cursor around within the Firefox window, portions of the window black out under where the cursor travels. FF tabs and buttons will black out, or parts of the YouTube page (but not the video). CTL-ALT-Del to bring up Windows Security Panel, then CANCEL will restore the Firefox window, plus the YouTube page correctly (ie black is gone and window has been redrawn correctly). I can open up new tabs and replicate the problem multiple times. I've also experienced this problem with embedded YouTube videos (though it's easiest to replicate the problem direct from the YouTube page.) I don't experience this problem at all with FF 4 Beta 8 in Safe Mode, nor the latest FF 3.x.x. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the Flash plug-in. Anyone have any ideas?

Problem involving videos played from the YouTube site is much less noticeable after upgrading from FF 4.0b8 to 4.0b9, but still occurs with embedded YouTube videos, where blacking out of other portions of the window still happens.

What is wrong with my Adobe Flash Player?

Hi, I have been using Facebook for uploading my photos and it has been quite a while since I last uploaded them. The problem is, with the update in the Adobe Flash Player in which my Windows had automatically carried it out, Facebook now does not allow me to upload multiple photos at once, claiming that I did not have the most updated version of Adobe Flash Player installed. Hence I went to check out all ActiveX, Plugins, or versions of Adobe on both offical and unoffical websites, and downloaded them for updating my Adobe. Nevertheless, no matter how updated it was, the Facebook function still does not work out. I am a bit frustrated about what had happened... my Windows is of 64-bit system yet the Internet Explorer is of 32-bit. The version I have now installed is 11,9,900,152. Thank you very much!

Thanks Mike, but I still could not upload multiple photos onto Facebook upon compatibility view. What's more, it seems many other Facebook users had encountered such a problem as online forums sparked outcry and roars.
I've tried Google Chrome and multiple photos can be uploaded for the Chrome browser, yet remained an error of 'not the latest version' in IE and Firefox. Gosh this is just driving me crazy. Updates should be making improvements instead of making original functions not functionable.

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.

RAM usage by Adobe Flash Player spikes when playing online flash games with 3D graphics

Hi. I have recently noticed a spike in RAM usage by my flash player plug-in whenever I play online flash games that use a 3D graphics engine (for example, Farmville 2 and Chefville by Zynga). Apart from the numerous times I receive an error message that the plug-in has failed, my RAM usage goes above 70% from the regular 40% with the plug-in consuming more than 1Gb. I have experienced the problem with the updated version of Adobe Flash Player on the newest releases of Firefox, Chrome and RockMelt. This spike in usage usually leads to a crash of my GPU (ATI Mobility Rabeon 4650 - 2Gb) My specs are as follows:
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Processor - Core i5
Speed - 2.27 GHz
RAM - 4.00Gb (3.86 Gb usable)
HDD - 500 Gb (465 Gb usable)
I should also note that the required specifications for the latest version of Flash Player (11.7.700.202) requires processing speeds of 2.33Ghz. Could that be the issue? I am still to attempt downgrading of my Flash version to see if that could help reduce the RAM usage. Are there any other suggestions out there?

Hmmm... Win 7 will run faster than Mavericks with 8Gb. Even my Vm of 7 runs faster once I get it past all the startup processes.
It may or may not be a connectivity problen since Windows uses a different protocol, even though it's on the same hardware. Usually though, what affects OS X will affect BootCamp too.
What browser?

Firefox 33.1 does not load Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223

As far as I can determine, Firefox 33.1 does not load Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223 (identified on the Plug-ins list as "Shockwave Flash 15.0.0.223") when I access most of the pages on the MSN website. Whether it will display any specific video is unpredictable but it displays about one out of five.
If I place the mouse cursor on the blank black video display area (for which no controls or buttons are displayed), and click the right mouse button, then either (1) the context menu is the same as for clicking the mouse cursor on an empty part of the page, or (2) the context menu is not displayed at all.
Apparently, Firefox has failed to load the plug-in, but does not display any error message. Neither is there any error message displayed by the plug-in.
If you think I am willing to undertake a trial-and-error odyssey through various "do this and see what happens" recommendations in "Knowledge Base" articles and the like, then think again. I don't have the time to make the effort, and I will use Internet Exporer instead. It ought to work with MSN just fine. :-)
Since I did not develop Firefox, this is not my problem to solve. It's your software, not mine, and I didn't make the mistakes, so you fix it.
By the way:
Either Firefox Help does not display the version correctly, or your Troubleshooter doesn't obtain the data correctly. Help says version 33.1 and Troubleshooter says 33.0. YES I KNOW THAT FIREFOX 33.1.1 IS AVAILABLE. SO WHAT?
Troubleshooter also identifies the Shockwave Flash plug-in as "15.0 r0" but the native Add-ons feature identifies it as 15.0.0.223 -- which is the version that Adobe uses.
The last line of the Troubleshooter's "educated guesses" just has "* 5.1.30514.0". I have no idea as to what that refers to and I doubt that anyone else would have one either.
Well, maybe those numbers are good enough for "educated guessers" but in my experience computers do not make "educated guesses" even if software developers do.
Enjoy!

Please refrain from posting scattergun boilerplate suggestions.
Please post specific instructions that will resolve the problem. If you don't know why the problem occurs and how to remedy the problem, then don't bother.
Realize that the problem did not occur with the previous version of Adobe Flash Player, but began after it was updated to 15.0.0.223. So it is is apparently specific to that version, and it may reflect a flaw in Adobe Flash Player. There's no way to actually report it to Adobe. Posting a report in their "user forum" just produces replies like the one that you have posted in reply to my OP, so what is the use?
Evidently you presume that Firefox does not have a bug, that something else doesn't work and you may be right. However, if Firefox does have a bug, then nothing that you have posted will correct it, and experimenting according to your boilerplate will be nothing but a waste of time and effort.
Again, the problem is not that Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223 does not run, but that it does not run when I attempt to view most of the videos on MSN. It does display videos from YouTube and other websites with an occasional specific exception. If the failure occured on more websites, and with all MSN videos, then maybe your suggestions for investigating it would have more merit.
For what it is worth: the problem occurs in Firefox Safe Mode and without Firefox Safe Mode. Disabling or enabling any extensions or other plug-ins has no effect.
I established that while investigating why Firefox 33.1 started producing crash reports every time that it initially displayed the New Tab page when I visited MSN (Firefox 32 did not do that). I also checked whether the actions that I took to troubleshoot that behavior affected Adobe Flash Player on MSN. They didn't.
Apparently the crash reports occured because Firefox could not find or could not load the "thumbnail" images for website pages that I had previously seen (they are often deleted by ''CCleaner''). The crash reports stopped after I made a couple of changes to the configuration for the ''SandboxIE'' sandbox in which I run Firefox.
Frankly, Firefox "Safe Mode" is something I don't need, because I run Firefox in a ''SandboxIE'' sandbox, which is a much more comprehensive security measure than anything implemented by any specific application. At the moment I don't recall whether Firefox Safe Mode is enabled, although I probaby re-enabled it after disabling it during the crash-report investigation. But it didn't make any difference with regard to Adobe Flash Player in that context, so there's no reason to repeat it.

Adobe Flash player keeps crashing, but it's up to date on my computer. So is Firefox. Help?

For some reason, starting today, every page I visit on Firefox (no matter what) comes up with a notification that the Adobe Flash Player plugin has crashed. It started when I was trying to attach a word document to an email to one of my professors on my Google-supported school email account. Every time I tried to attach the document, Flash Player crashed and it wouldn't upload. I finally had to send it using my Live email, which worked, but now Flash Player crashes on every webpage I visit in about 2 seconds. My Flash Player is up to date, as is my version of Firefox. What's going on here? (Note: None of the information of the "Adobe Flash Player has crashed" page was helpful at all.)

Yes, this has been a problem for a lot of people. ADOBE just released Flash Player 11.0.1.152, and that seems to have fixed the problem. It still am finding it a bit laggy to load Flash scripts, but it no longer displays the crashed window.
You can download the file from the official Flash website here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Adobe Flash Player installer/uninstaller 10.1 r82 AND 102 has stopped working

Hi there,
First time I've used these forums and I am a bit computer illiterate, so apologies if I come across a bit stupid!
I am using the following systems:
Windows Vista (32 bits I think)
IE 7
Adobe / Flash v 10.1.82.76
I was trying to install iTunes on the weekend and was having trouble, so Apple suggested I delete my Local Temp Files and all Apple apps, which I did.
Since then, when I try to access most internet sites, I encounter the following error message:
'Adobe Flash Player installer/uninstaller 10.1 r82 has stopped working'. I have the option of getting Windows to check the problem or closing the problem, whichever option I select I just go round and round in circles as it keeps coming back to the same error message. As a result, I can't access most websites as the page just freezes and I eventually have to close IE.
I understand this to be a common problem as I've done a few google searches and have come across others with the same problem and have tried various solutions without success.
I have tried to download Adobe uninstaller (via another PC and saving it on to disk and then onto my desktop), but when I try to run this as administrator I get the following message;
'Adobe Flash Player installer/uninstaller 10.1 r102 has stopped working'.
I am at my wits end, if there is anyone out there that can help it would be appreciated.
Thank you.

NO, just a windows pop-up with the message:
     "Microsoft Windows
     Adobe Flash player Installer/Uninstaller 10.1
     r85 has stopped working
     A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
     Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is
     available."
And then just the option to "close program". This happens at the point of me trying to install the
program from the saved download on my desktop, directly through a website or any other method I've tried.
Thanks

Adobe Flash Player 11

Why is Safari not compatible with the newest version of Adobe Flash Player 11? It's the same for other web browsers like Chrome and Firefox. Each browser provides updates for their browsers but neither are compatible for new version of flash player. It's frustrating because social sites like youtube.com continue to prompt me to upgrade my flash player to support their videos for better quality. But I can't because my web browser is not compatible with the newest version.

Yes. Just go indirectly through here (macupdate) or directly through here (adobe's own site which macupdate will download from).

So frustration with daily, multiple times, losing adobe flash player!!
