Still no luck with new Flashplayer 13

Old flashplayer worked fine.  New 13 is correctly installed, and I did the process listed here for internet explorer,  but STILL can't watch anything on Facebook, and some (but not all) film clips elsewhere.  I've asked HP about my PC, my internet provider, etc. but they say it is Adobe's problem.  Help.

"User-Agent Strings"
That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser (Read more here).
User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video.
Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome).
Trouble is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11.
YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play.
Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess they've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE...
The Problem with THAT is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that, because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • Proxy Settings still not working with new 3.1

    The new 3.1 of Safari for Windows still does not work properly with proxies (PAC files) with regards to using current logged on User Credentials when a Proxy requires authentication. Anyone have similar issues?

    3.18.8 @ 3:58PM NOPE NOT FIXED...
    MY browser is still crashing when trying to go to secure websites behind a corporate firewall (specific ISA 2006)
    The problem is with the way Sfari Handles Secure website request
    Firefox works because it uses its own module.
    ----"First of all I'm running Safari on my Leopard
    This computer is on a corporate network behind ISA Server 2006
    I'm able to Authenticate to go to the internet but when I try to go to a secure website (example https://www.bankofamerica.com )My browser Crashes.
    I was expecting the new release of Safari to fix this but I'm still having the same issue.
    Looks like the problem is the way this browser handles secure connection requests from behind a corporate firewall.
    Any one has a clue how to fix this?
    I havent been able to find any acceptable fixes for this problem (with exception of running a proxy server on this computer such as squid)

  • Still no luck with downloads

    thank you Grant for the site but when I tried to open the file
    StuffitEXP10.dmg I get a Warning box that states
    The following disk images failed to mount
    No Mountable File Systems

    What size is the .dmg file? It should be 8.3MB; if it's less, you didn't get a complete download.
    BTW, normally it's better to stay with a single problem thread rather than starting a new topic to continue the issue. That way the people helping can pick up the new information, and you don't have to repeat basic information about your problem.

  • Recently added still not syncing with new touch software (3.1.2)

    The last 2 versions of the ipod touch os update have changed my recently added playlist. Now it only lists the last songs/podcasts added, so i get things from 2 weeks ago. The list is accurate on itunes. I tried changing the order of the list on itunes and syncing , and still didnt work. Also tried making a new playlist of "Added in last 5 days" and limitnig to 10 items, for example, but still only took last 10 items! Any ideas? thank you

    My iPod recently wouldn't sync songs, so I un checked the sync music button and synced it, then when it finished, I re checked sync music and synced it again, hope this works!

  • Having bad luck with new PSUs again

    Hi,
    I just recently bought an Antec 430w truepower PSU to replace my old Qtec "550W" psu since the Antec 430 w has greater max currents as I am going to upgrade my video card and add an extra HDD.
    When I try to run CPU-intensive programs, my system eventually halts with the Antec power supply installed, with the Qtec, everything ran fine. This is running a program I made that utilises the video card (open GL application)  whilst running winamp.
    My system is:
    MSI K7N2 Motherboard
    Ahtlon AMD 2600+ 333 FSB
    512 MB DDR 3200 (400 Mhz)
    1 HDD
    2 CD/CDRW drives
    also:
    Geforce 3 ti 200
    Soundblaster Live soundcard
    onboard network
    floppy
    Antec truepower 430W or Qtec "550W" dual fan gold.
    I took results using MSI PC Alert before hand from the Qtec power supply and when I got the Antec I took similar results. The results are for the CPU vCore, 3.3v, +5v & +12v rails.
    ===============================
    Qtec:
    Code: [Select]
    QTEC 550      vcore        3.3          +5           +12
    idle          1.63+/-0.02  3.37+/-0.04  5.12+/-0.01  12.03 +/- 0.03
    active        1.62 to 1.65 3.33         5.13         12.00
    Qtec proved stronger than Antec...
    ===============================
    ANTEC 430 TruePower (case open)
    Code: [Select]
    ANTEC 430 TP  vcore        3.3          +5           +12
    idle          1.67+/-0.03  3.29+/-0.03  4.97+/-0.01  11.94 +/- 0.0
    active        ----------------- SYSTEM HALT -----------------------
    ===============================
    MAX AMPS
    Code: [Select]
          Q-Tec 550W   Antec 430W TP
    3.3        20            28
    +5         35            36
    +12        14            20
    This can prove that either my Antec powersupply I received is not doing the business (430 W) and is not as good as Qtec "550 W", Why? I don't know if I should take it back and get a replacement since it boots up my machine fine, just the rails are very weak for the Antec which is supposed to prove stronger than the QTec.
    What should I do if I want to add new peripherals to the system? Going back to the old Qtec 550 will work for me :P

    alright 12v pin in, didnt do any good, probably made it worse.. my screen jittered upon startup which was the sign of the power going bad (which was happening before the system halt before). Replaced it back with my beloved old Qtec   everything working fine and back to normal.
    I may note that while taking both results the 12v pin was not used.
    The antec would not give enough power somewhere resulting in a halt, probably to the video card or something. I'll stick with my Q-tec for now and install this video card and see what happens, I've removed one CD drive (which wasnt working anyway) lets hope that can compensate for the extra current needed?
    The new video card is the MSI 59000xt Vtd-128 Btw

  • SwithcHosts was installed, not understandable, uninstalled, causing problems. FF opens with New tab, not Home Page

    That's SwitchHosts. Uninstalled it, removed from profile, but still FF starts with New tab and not Home Page. Is there a line in about:config that needs changing???

    That didn't work. But, I did remember to do a System Restore, and that seems to have fixed it. SwitchHosts is no friend of mine. Even the MVP program has limits. I wish these programs did not try to take over my computer and they should have good uninstall features.
    Thanks for the reply.

  • My computer will no longer bring up itunes. It says, "file iTunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes". I have reinstalled itunes, and still no luck. HELP!!!

    I cannot bring up iTunes as it keeps saying, "the files 'itunes library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes". I have reinstalled itunes, and still no luck. HELP!!!!

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

    Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
    Let's start with iTunes.
    Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
    With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
    Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

    OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
    iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
    I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

  • Ipad continues to use my old Apple ID and password.  I can't remember the password. I have created a new Apple ID but icloud is still locked up with the old one. Help.

    Last week I changed my Apple ID.  I was having some problems with getting "incorrect ID or password" message.  sometimes it would accept my info and sometimes it wouldn't.  I got tired with messing with it and decided to just create a new Apple ID and password.  The new ID has worked ok, but my icloud account still comes up with my old ID. I tried to change that but couldn't without signing in with the old ID.  I did several times but I always get the message "incorrect Apple ID and password".  I tried using other password but nothing worked. Now I'm not sure what the password is. I have asked for a password reset to be sent to me but nothing comes ( using my regular email ). I have tried using the secret questions and I get them all correct except my birthday doesn't jive with what they say.  I really need some ideas. My icloud account is essentially locked to me and isn't backing up my stuff. that's about all I can think of to tell you.

    Hunter of Sock Monsters thanks...I did follow your advise.  I went to the iforgot site and tried answering the secret questions twice.  I got the "wrong answer", so the next time I asked for an email authentication.  I am still waiting. I don't know what the usual time for waiting normally is. I am still waiting for an email reply from three days ago.  I'm not going to hold my breath.  My ipad is out of warranty but I may have to beg for help from support? I'll wait awhile longer.  Maybe there is another thing someone could come up with.  I appreciate your fast reply Hunter.

    OK...now I appear to 'progressed' I changed my email address back to original on Apple id and then was able to delete icloud account. Apparently I couldnt do it as it kept requesting password  when I entered passsword ( both old and new one, it wouldnt accept it as it had my old email address in ) It didnt do that on ios6 . Anyway I deleted account, but now I tried to login in with my new id/password and it says unable as already in use!!! More help needed please! Its a nightmare!!

    Was it purchased from an official Apple Store, not a reseller?  Only Apple Stores sell official factory unlocked phones.  The others sell hacked to unlock phones, and the unlocking is unstable.
    Try these steps, as needed:
    1. Reset phone - press both home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    3. Replace SIM card (and reset network settings again)

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try another cable
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
