Web Flash Player suddenly stopped working, now just see green screen or player crashes altogether

Hi,
I bought a new laptop maybe 2 weeks ago. It worked fine up until 2,3 days ago. Videos online (ie. youtube) no longer work. I either get a green screen (other videos online, random sites) or the video player crashes and asks me to send the error report (happens whenever i click a youtube video).
I'm running windows 8 (64-bit) and the latest flash player is installed (the .117 one)
Someone please help,
I can't watch any videos and my laptop is brand new!
Thank you in advance.

"green" indicates an outdated graphics driver; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765
Or you could disable hardware acceleration.

  • Shockwave Flash Object Suddenly Stopped Working but Works in IE

    I am using a shockwave flash object (mp3 player) that has been working in Firefox for months but now has suddenly stopped working. The player doesn't even show up on the webpage.
    The odd thing is that this player shows up and works perfectly in IE but other browsers exhibit the same problem as Firefox.

    We're in the process of figuring this out with Google.  I've read reports that the Chrome beta channel does not have this problem, but your mileage may vary.  Please see this Chrome bug report for details.

  • Flash has suddenly stopped working with Safari and Firefox.

    I have a Wordpress blog. Suddenly, Flash has stopped working on Safari and Firefox in relation to my Wordpress module. But everything works fine from my PC laptop and other MACs owned by friends, etc. It is only on my iMac that Flash has stopped working. Any ideas?

    Please read this post then provide some details.  What printer model? What operating system? Do you have a 32 bit or 64 bit version?

  • AutoFill stopped working; now just get a blue box.

    I have had my iMac for several years.  All of  a sudden, Autofill has stopped working.  I get the customary box, but when I click on it, it just turns blue and nothing happens.

    There are numerous issues with autofill with recent versions of Safari.

    You can try deleting the cache associated with Safari.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Airport Express suddenly stopped working Error (-15006) But Green Light On

    Hi There,
    I have had my airport express for a few years and I use it to stream music from my macbook to my hifi.
    However all of a sudden i stopped being able to see the drop down for the speakers in the bottom of itunes.
    I have reset the airport express many times and reconnected it to my network which sometimes allows the speaker dropdown in itunes.
    However when I get to that stage it tries to connect to my remote speakers for ages then eventually it times out or i get the error (-15006).
    When tht happens the drop down menu goes completley.
    I have now upgraded to itunes 9.0 and it still happens.
    Please help I am getting very frustrated!

    Sorry guys, I don't mean to give you a hard time, and I know I'd feel the same as you if it was my kit that was fried. Think I must have just finished reading the iPod nano article, where Apple has been slated for refusing to replace nano's that have surface scratches, even though they're still under warranty. It sounded like the usual story, consumer has purchased it, put it in their back pocket, sat down on it, put it through the washing machne and wondered why it was scratched. Funnily enough, I've kept mine in a old sock when not in use, and I've never been so stupid as to put it in my back pocket, clean it once a month and it's still as good as new.
    Doesn't help your issue though, but an EU directive might. Not sure when it came into force, and I can't remember which articles it refers to explicitly, but consumer electrical goods sold in the EU must carry a minimum 3 year guarantee. I think that only applies to "white goods", fridges, washing machines, etc. But there was another part where they must have a minimum guarantee period of 2 years, for more general electrical goods.

  • My flash drive suddenly stopped working.

    I was transferring files from a Geek Squad 16GB flash drive when I got a error saying a file couldn't be read, then another error saying the drive had been improperly ejected, and the drive disappeared and then remounted. I moved a few more files, and I got the same error saying a file couldn't be read, then the same one saying the drive was improperly ejected, and the drive vanished.
    Now the drive no longer shows up in Disk Utility, but it does show up on a System Report. It does not show up on my other computers—either my Mac Mini or a Windows 7 laptop.
    However, if I leave the drive in the port, my Air will periodically try to re-mount it. The light on the drive will flash, and an error comes up that the drive is unreadable, and I am given the option to Initiate, Ignore, or Eject. If I go into Disk Utility before I make a selection, the drive is visible, but not selectable.
    I have tried all three options with no success. I have restarted, rebooted, and rest the PRAM.
    Nothing works.
    I need the files off of the drive, so what should be my next step?

    I would try all USB ports and if no change, on another Mac.  If no success, the USB drive is corrupted.
    Ciao.

  • Custom Ringtones Suddenly Stopped Working--now silent

    My custom ringtones that I PURCHASED and created through Itunes, and installed the normal way, have all of a sudden gone silent. I installed the ringtones when I got the phone, and they worked for two weeks. What happened?? No sync performed since. Tried to resync the ringtones & it didn't work. STILL SILENT!!

    Did you accidentally flip the switch at the side of the phone to silent?

  • Email stopped working: now just sending and trash

    I experienced a similar problem to an earlier post. The mail on my iPad just continued to process, but did not retrieve anything. I did as suggested. I tapped the Home button a couple times. When the recents appeared, I held down the mail app until a red check appeared. I deleted the mail app. When I went back to the Home page, I was able to select the Mail App, and received mail. When checking the mailboxes, I found the App only included the Inbox. There is no Sent or Trash. Do I need to reset something with the Settings?
    Thanks

    HI Maurice...
    I found the App only included the Inbox. There is no Sent or Trash
    After you tap the Mail app icon in the Dock tap Inbox. If you don't see Mailboxes restore your iPad following the instructions here.

  • IBook won't open on iPad. Used to work now just a blank screen when opened

    I have been buying and reading books on iPad for some time now. In last few days I can't view anything when I click on iBook icon. It open s and is a blank white screen. I've tried swiping, touching, pinching, and no response.
    How can i fix so I can read books again?

    Close the iBooks app and reboot the iPad.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • TS1702 my itunes store app wont work its just a white screen, wont search for anything?

    My itunes store app has stopped working, its just a white screen, nothing loads up?

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • I just brought my MacPro in for service and they replaced my hard drive. However, now my disc drive has suddenly stopped working! Is there anything I can do to fix this without having to take it back in for service, again!?

    The nearest service center is 2 hours from my house and my computer isn't under warranty anymore, so I need alternative options. I'm just frustrated that my disc drive was totally fine until AFTER I took it in for service. I just paid a lot of money for a new hard drive from the apple store and now my disc drive has suddenly stopped working correctly. I tried with multiple CD's and DVD's...loading a disc, but my computer would just make a weird loading noise and then eject the discs. Now it has started fighting taking the disc, so I have stopped trying. Is there anyway to fix this problem without taking it in for service again and paying another boat load of money?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    ShelbyMackenzieLynne,
    when you say that your disc drive is damaged, do you mean your MacBook Pro’s hard disk drive, or do you mean its SuperDrive (the CD/DVD drive)?
    When you’d updated your MacBook Pro to Mavericks, did the installation succeed, and subsequently freeze up? Or did it freeze up during the Mavericks installation?
    Which version of OS X was installed on your MacBook Pro before you’d installed Mavericks?
    Are you currently able to boot into the Mavericks recovery partition? To see if you can do so, hold down a Command key and the R key while starting up your MacBook Pro.

  • Flash Player Suddenly Stopped Working on Chrome, I.E. and FF

    As with many other posters, the latest version of flash player (fp) suddenly stopped working on FireFox, Chrome and Internet Explorer!  I uninstalled fp using the fp uninstaller and attempted to reinstall it, but it would not download on FireFox nor Internet Explorer (Chrome has a built-in fp).  Therefore, I did a system restore to an earlier date hoping this would solve the problem.  It did not.  I have also unticked hardware acceleration, still nothing.
    If anyone has found a solution, please let me know.  Thanking you all in advance.

    Fortunately, I found my answer.  I went into the Adobe Global Settings (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.htm l ) and checked  "Allow third party flash content to store data on your computer".  Hopefully this may help someone else.

  • HT201263 My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine, but when I went back the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. What should I do?

    My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine earlier, but when I went back a few hours later, the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. I thought it just needed to be charged but there seems to be a larger issue now. What should I do?

    Let your ipod die. Then when it is dead charge it adn turn it back on. After that it should be fine.

  • After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a few weeks ago, I took it out of the car and it no longer works.  Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support.  Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car.  But wont work anywhere now

    After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a for the last few weeks, I took it out of the car and it no longer works.  Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support.  Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car.  But won't work anywhere now.  I tried re-setting but has not worked.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
    After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

  • I have been using my apple tv to access netflix for several months.  It suddenly stopped working.  When I try to go to netflix from the menu, it says "accessing netflix" but never does.  I can access you tube just fine, but just can't get to netflix.

    Update software. If that doesn't work try resetting.  Mine started working after the update.
