Told I have Flash Player when I don't

When I try to install Flash Player, Adobe aborts my installation because I "already have a later version". I definitely don't.  How can I get Adobe to complete the installation?

What OS?
What browser?

  • Told I need flash player when it's already installed.

    My machine always has the latest adobe flash player, and yet site after site tells me that I need to get flash player before I can use their program. What is going on?

    Welcome to the Adobe Forums, Gary.
    To better assist you with this issue we need to know:
    What is your operating system? (Windows or Mac) (XP, Vista, 7, 8)
    What browser do you use? (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari)

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

  • Some websites don't recognize that I have Flash Player installed

    I have the latest version of Flash Player installed, my browser shows it to be enabled, and it works on most sites I go to. However, other sites, particularly CNN, recently started giving me error messages that I don't have Flash Player. I've reinstalled it several times, to no avail. What do I need to do to get these sites to recognize that I do have Flash Player installed?

    Chris,
    I'm running Windows 7 64 bit OS. On the browser, I use both Chrome and IE 9, but only have the issue in IE 9. Flash works fine in Chrome, but only for some sites on IE 9, but not others. There are no extensions or blocking apps that are interfering as far as I can tell.
    Thanks,
    Drew

  • I rec'd a video and when I tried to play it it said ipadgo have Flash Player and to download it when I tried it said I could not download it to my Apple iPad2 how do I open it?

    I rec' a notice when trying to play a video from Facebook saying I had to have flash player and to download it . When I tried it said it wasn't compatible with my iPad 2.  How do I open it?

    Flash is not available for iOS. Use the Facebook app or you might try on of the alternate browsers such as iSwifter or Puffin.

  • Why are egreetings telling me I need Adobe flash player when I have already downloaded the app?

    Why are egreetings telling me that I cannot view a card because I haven't got Adobe flash player when I got the app from the store recently, I am new to the iPad and being a silver surfer I could be doing something wrong. Please help.

    There is no Flash Player for the iPad. I don't know what you downloaded, but if it was from the iTunes Store, it wasn't Flash Player. If you search this or the Using iPad forum for "flash", you'll find a number of suggestions as to alternatives to Flash Player, such as Puffin, but whether any will work with the card site you wish to use I can't say; none of the solutions work with all sites.
    Regards.

  • My flash player when downloading is getting "stuck" at 30% what's going wrong? It also won't allow me to quit the installation and let me re-try

    You really don't need to do "secure Empty Trash." Just empty the Trash. If you don't have permission to access some items that means you shouldn't be trying to delete them or you are trying to delete a file you don't own.
    If your external drive is used only on your Mac, then it should not be formatted ExFAT. It should be prepared as follows:
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Try restarting the computer. Then again try to Empty the Trash. Do you still get the error? What are you trying to delete?

  • Adobe Flash player, when will be available for downloading, really frustrated

    Adobe flash player, when will be available for mac, iPhone, iPad. I am really frustrated. My friends are posting each other comic moments with kids or holiday events and I am always left out because I have iPhone. Also, I am unable to watch live tv on iPad when my husband watching football as unable to view without flash player.
    It seams like apple is a bit behind with some part of technology, when will be available for download
    Frustrated
    Rosie

    It has never not been available for Mac.
    It will very likely never be available for iphone/ipad/ipod.
    Do a forum search.  This is dicsussed over and over and over and over and over and over and over again on these forums.
    Adobe is working on a versin that will not require any download at all to watch flash content.

  • I frequently get pop up windows when i click on a page and also get asked to update my flash player when it is up to date and also get these annoying pop up ads

    constant pop ups on the page i'm on, pop ups in a new tab opening up when i click on a page and the redirecting to a page telling me i need to update my flash player when it's up to date

    hello, you have various malicious addons present. please try these steps:
    # [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
    # afterwards go to the firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
    # finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

    Hi, If you followed Norton's instructions, then you may want to ask them what needs to be done. You can Uninstall Flash Player and Install it again. Follow the instructions here.

    Tried to open a page but was told to update Flash Player. Clicked on update Flash Player, watched the blue bar fill in, went back to open page and it again said update Flash Player. Did I get malware instead of Flash Player? How do I know if I got malware?
