Their is a newer version of Flash Player already installed

Flash Player automatically updates. Today I tried to use Facebook to upload some photos. Facebook gave me a warning that said I needed the latest update to Flash Player. I went to the Adobe website to try to update the Adobe Flash Player. When I try to run the installer, it gets as far as "Installing" and then stops saying Note: Newer version already installed. The Troubleshooting page on the Flash Player support site says I have Flash Player 14.0.0.101 and the newest version is 13.0.0. I have not manually installed or updated anything, except for trying to install the update after receiving the original error messages.

This means you have a beta version of Flash Player installed. Uninstall it with http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/labs/flashruntimes/flashplayer/flashplayer14_uninstall_m ac.dmg
then download and install the release version http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_13_osx.dmg

How do I download a new version of flash player. I have tried 10 times, each time it says complete. However when I need it on a site, it says I don't have it???????? Thank you

Hello,
I have a similar problem than sam6sam had except that I'm on Safari. After the Mountain Lion security update I did last Friday, I had to update Flash. I installed .149, deinstalled, restarted, reinstalled .149 about 2 dozens times and it didn't work. Yesterday I saw that you had .167 and thought "finally they will have fixed this issue". After doing the same deinstall restart and install routine another dozen time, I give up!
I've followed all the instructions on this page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html
and this page:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5067997#5067997
and this page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
and still nothing.
It looks like it's installed. When I go into System Preference Flash Player shows "Plug-in version 11.6.602.167 is installed.", yet when I want to see a flash video it tells me that I don't have the software and need to install it. My Safari Preferences allow for Pop-up and Enable Plug-in. My "open 'safe' files after downloading" is clicked.
I've search all of Adobe, Apple and other geeky website's "help" area, and nothing I tried worked, including the "sudo" commands in the terminal (the answer to this one is "command not found").
I'm really frustrated by this. There is certainly something that I overlooked, but I cannot figure it out. Help!

How to avoid installing newer version of flash player

Hey,
After installing the newer version of flash player it caused troubles to me, and I don't see any way but to install an older version of Flash Player, however after I have installed it the game forces me to Install the newest version of Flash Player, otherwise it cannot run. So here is my question. How can I use an older version of Flash Player I had before without installing the newer version of it?

Hi, You can go to this test site to see if you have Flash Player Installed on your 10.6.5 Mac.
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Then this link has info on how to Uninstall Flash Player (if needed) and Install the latest version. It is a step by step.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html
After reading that info and you just need to Install, then this link would be easier:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Flash Player is a browser plugin and as long as your browser is supported by Adobe Flash Player, then you shouldn't have any problem.
Hope that helps,

Should I recompile my swf at every new version of flash player ?

should I recompile my swf at every new version of flash player to benefit of any new optimization bugs and new features ? I saw that the version of flash player will increase every 3 months.
is CC is able to offer publish settings with every 3 months new version ?
thanks

Its simple: any advanced feature that would improve the performance has to be adressed by the code you write to be useful.
So say in Flash 12 Adobe Introduces Stage4D, simply publishing your existing Flash 11 work that uses Stage3D will not use the Stage4D Features present in Flash 12,
you would have very likely to rewrite some of your code to profit from the benefits.
So recompiling on its own, will do nothing useful for you.

I can't install mcafee siteadvisor the installer stops and says, "A newer version of SiteAdvisor is already installed on your Mac."

I have a late 2013 Macbook pro with retina display running OS X (Mavericks) my siteadvisor had recently grayed out and was not protecting against sites so I uninstalled my acfee internet security suite (provided by Cox with my account) and the siteadvisor altogether. I then reinstalled the Mcafee internet security and went to download the siteadvisor website. Once I went to download the siteadvisor installer stops and says "A newer version of SiteAdvisor is already installed on your Mac." How do I get my siteadvisor installed and back working again.

The download, if you mean this one :
https://sadownload.mcafee.com/products/SA/mac/website/McAfeeSiteAdvisor.dmg
includes the plugin, as well as other software.

A newer version of Quicktime is already installed.

I installed my new Nokia software for my phone on my laptop which messed up so I did a system restore.
Since then Itunes and Quicktime stopped working.
After following a lot of stuff other people had tried I'm now at the stage where if I download the combined itunes/quicktime installer it tells me a newer version of Quicktime is already installed and if I download the stand alone Quicktime installer it tells me that the configuration data for this product is corrupt and to contact support personnel.
Please help!

go to microsoft free downloads and install the "installer cleaner"
use that to uninstall Quicktime.
close it and then open "my computer" "local drive' "windows" "system32" and delte any folder or file in there with Quicktime
close and then go to my computer/local drive/program files and delete any Quicktime. Close
Go to web and download the 7.3 version - it worked for me (after 6 hours, registry cleaners, etc ..and finally help from Apple)
i was getting your error message and also the buffer overrun and even fatal error and systm32/ddl
good luck!

The new versions of Flash Player for Android are still not in the Archive page!

I feel like something is missing in the Flash Player Archive page. Yesterday, I read that the new Flash Player version for Android 2.x/3.x is now version 11.1.111.73, and that the new Flash Player version for Android 4.x is now 11.1.115.81, but instead, all I see are previous versions of Flash Player for Android 4.x, 3.x, and 2.x! When will the newest Flash Player versions for Android be available to the archive page? Here's a link for the Archive Page: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

Ok, we're fixing it and it should be resolved by tomorrow. Please let me know if you can't find it by tomorrow evening.
Thanks again for letting us know!

Is the new version of Flash player compatible with FF 3.6.17?

I updated to the new version of Flash - 10.3.181.26 - because of some sort of problem with the old version. Now FF does not recognize Flash as being installed. I have both versions in .mozilla/plugins. I use .new and .old as the extension for the one I am not using. Version 10.3.d162 works when it is .so. 10.3.181 does not.

There are a number of active threads concerning the latest Flash player plugin (11.3) and the latest Firefox (13). Not all users are experiencing the same issues, but things to check include the following:
- Conflict with Realplayer Browser Record plugin (to disable this, open Add-ons from the orange Firefox button or the classic Tools menu and look under the Extensions and Plugins categories)
- Conflict with Flash 11.3 Protected Mode (see [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 Adobe Forums: How do I disable Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?])
Scanning down the front of the forums probably will yield additional suggestions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions

I've tried setting the flash properties to transparent and that hasn't helped. I'm really stumped here.
Many thanks in advance.

Thank you! I finally figured it out a solution!! I saved the swf as a flash 10.1 document rather than the pre-set 10.2 and am happy to report that it worked. I've been able to view it on an imac and a windows device but it still doesn't work on an ipad. The only solution I can think of for this is to have a link at the top of my page that says " ipad and i phone users click here" --- and the link would be www.mysite.com/idevice"
where there would be an exact replica of my page minus the annimated banner OR with a version that would be viewable on an I pad/phone.

I have a newer version of flash player installed then what is listed as the most recent version??

Hello,
I am checking the version i have installed of flash player via the adobe version check option at the site and i have version 11.8.800.94 and when i check the list of the latest versions of Adobe, i see 11.7.700.169 listed as being the latest vversion. How can i have a version installed that's above that? I haven't installed a beta version, never signed up for beta testing and all i did was install the latest version of flash player via the website.
I am wondering what this is cause recently when viewing videos on youtube, my videos tend to hang up or end halfway through and think the video ended when it's not. My guess now is that i have sumhow obtained a version of flash player that's not correct and thus why the videos go haywire now. Re-installing flash player sets it back to the 11.8 version again, so that didn't work.
Any information any1 might have that can solve this is much appreciated.

11.8.800.94 is the latest version for Windows and Mac. 11.8.800.115 is the latest beta version. http://helpx.adobe.com/en/flash-player/release-note/fp_118_air_38_release_notes.html

After installing the newer version of flash player 10.3.181.14, My firefox 4 started crashing.

I used to get Flash player plugin crashed but my Firefox never crashed, and that problem was easily resolved by just refreshing that page. But now my Firefox crashes and i have to restart it. which is really frustrating.
I have tried FF3, FF5 beta and the older version of flash player (10,2,159,1) and now i am used this old version but my firefox is still crashing regularly.

And it happens alot in Facebook.

The latest version of flash player is installed and yet none of the programs that use it can find or access it. I am running Windows 7. Is there anything in the Registry that could be blocking flash player from being accessed or used?

The subject is the question. Files with flv extensions cannot be run or identified. Other software that uses flash player such as Rhapsody, can't find or use it either. It feels like a registry problem. Please do not waste time suggesting I uninstall and reinstall flash player as I have done than several times with no improvement or solution.

Flash Player is a plugin, and typically used by browsers (and sometimes other software.) Flash, by itself, won't open flv files. Instead you'd load those files into your web browser and it would load Flash to render them.
I don't know if Rhapsody uses the ActiveX or NPAPI versions of Flash Player. Which do you have installed? You can check this by going into the Programs and Features control panel and looking for the Adobe Flash Player entry(s). It'll say NPAPI, PPAPI, or ActiveX at the end.

Can't get new version of Flash Player to work.

Both the NY Times and Slate sites (this is today, though this started with the Times two days ago and I didn't get to it until today) indicated I needed to update the player. Did so from links on both sites, the download and install shows as successful, but no good on getting anything to work and as far as the sites are concerned the new version isn't installed as I'm still being told to install it. Went to Adobe site directly to install it, that didn't work. Checked through the troubleshooting site and did all that I was told to do there, went into Tools, made sure scripting was enabled as was Java script and both were, I didn't need to change anything. After downloads closed and reopened browser (IE right before 9, OS Win 7 64-bit), no good, then re-started computer, at least twice (at this point I've lost count) and also no good. Noticed someone else's post indicating problems with YouTube videos and I have that, too. I go to some videos and for a very brief flash of time I see a red banner at the top of the video, barely there long enough for me to read, telling me something about Flash Player. This was never an issue before the download so I have no clue what's going on here.
Help.
