What is Adobe Flash Player Utility

What is Adobe Flash Player Utility that I see in my Windows 8 Task Manager??
I found a way to disable it by renaming a couple Flash files in the Windows folder. And so far I see no ill effects.
Also, when I try to change the Updates in Global Settings it is grayed out.
Anyone know why this is so? THis was grayed out befoe I renamed said files.

Thanks for the fast response.

Whats the adobe flash player 10.1 app called on android phones?

I want to download this app in the android market, but it says I need adobe flash player 10.1 but when I look for it, it doesn't show. Does anyone know what its called? I know its in the market because a lot of people are using that app. Does anyone know what its called? Please. I have the Samsung Captivate. Should I just wait for Android2.2?
Help, Thanks!!!

Basically Android supports flash player to view your resultant animation and scripts developed from flash. You need a flash player to view some flash based animations and scripts. You can download and install it on your phones.

THE ANSWER TO: WHAT VERSION ADOBE FLASH PLAYER IS COMPATIBLE WITH SEAMONKEY 2.2?

I HAVE SPENT 10.5 HOURS ALL NIGHT AND INTO THE DAY ON WHAT WOULD SEEM LIKE A SIMPLE QUESTION. I HAVE SEARCHED YOUR SITE, SEAMONKEY SITE, GOOGLE, ASK, YAHOO AND SOME OTHERS I JUST CAME ACROSS. MY QUESTION IS THIS: WHAT VERSION OF ADOBE FLASH PLAYER IS COMPATIBLE WITH SEAMONKEY 2.2? I MAY BE OVER SIMPLIFYING A QUESTION THAT HAS NO ANSWER, BUT AFTER THIS LAST TIME OF ASKING, I WILL GIVE UP. I SPENT 23 YEARS TEACHING ADVANCED COLLEGE LEVEL COMPUTERS AND ESP CADD AND CAD/CAM AND NOTHING IN ALL THAT TIME WAS AS EXASPERATING AS THIS IS.

My Seamonkey version is 2.2
These are my plugins.

Flex is open source, what about adobe flash?

Hi all,
There is some confusion on our Flex team. We're aware of the
Flex announcement that Adobe intends to release Flex under the MPL
at some future date. Some of the developers on our team, however,
believe the Adobe Flash plugin in browsers such as Mozilla are open
source as well. After googling, I could not find any indication
that adobe Flash is open source. We're aware of Gnash, etc, but our
question relates specifically to Adobe Flash - is it open source or
has there been an announcement that Adobe intends to open source
Flash browser plugins? What, if anything, is open source concerning
Flash?
Thanks,
iksrazal

Flash will not be open source.

What is Adobe Flash Player

I keep getting notices on Adobe Flash Player? What is it and should I download it. Does it interfere or substitute for any MAC programs?

It enables web browsers to play Flash content on the Internet, typically videos and games. If you choose to install it, make sure you download it from Adobe's official site and keep it up to date.

WHAT? Adobe FLash Player Security

I am building a photography web site with flash and I found a really cool slide show extension plug in (www.slideshowpro.com) were can easily upload and update my portfolio slide shows.
when I publish out to HTML, I test it in a browser and I get this warning when I click on the photography page
I read in adoby help and it said flash developers can allow communication between sites with this AS code
Security.allowInsecureDomain("nathan44.slideshowpro.com");
so I added this code to my actions layer on the firs frame in "scene 1" and to the actions layer in the photography section. But nothing changed i still get this warning when ever I publish out to an HTML, when I just preview with control + enter i can view the sideshows fine
maybe I'm not putting the right code in the right places?
Should I attach the flash document?

This is another "what were they thinking?" implementation.
The settings manager is fairly un-intuitive.
Do as Ned Says.
click edit location
add location
Then EITHER
     > browse for files
     > select your swf
OR
     >where you see:
     >Tip: The application that recently tried to communicate with the Internet is:
       somefolder/somefolder/someswf.swf
          you can just copy / paste that path into the trust this location field on top of the settings manager
> click confirm
It is frustrating because most people see the path to their swf initially and then say "yeah that's the one!" > confirm.
You have to make sure the path to the swf / folder is in the trust this location field
You sometimes have to close all browsers and even flash in order for the settings to take hold.
slideshow pro is awesome especially with slideshow director, have fun!

About Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5 and Game Developing.

Hi guys,
I would like to ask 4 questions for today.
1) What can Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5 do? ( Can it create games, design sites and animate? or more?)
2) Could you guys tell me any website where I can register a domain name for very low prices? (Put a link of the site and estimation of amount.)
3)How can I register an email on my website? Example : [email protected] (without using yahoo mail msn or google, etc) How to use your website name after @.

1) What can Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5 do? ( Can it create games, design sites and animate? or more?)
flash cs5.5 can be used to create desktop, browser-based and mobile: games and applications including those that use animation.
2) Could you guys tell me any website where I can register a domain name for very low prices? (Put a link of the site and estimation of amount.)
www.dotearth.com - check the prices yourself. or, use google to search.
3)How can I register an email on my website? Example : [email protected] (without using yahoo mail msn or google, etc) How to use your website name after @.
you'll need a domain (register your name) and you'll need a web host where your site is physically located.

How To Prevent Adobe Flash Player crashes

What causes Adobe Flash Player to crash and what can I do to prevent it? Thanks.

Well going by your standards then the blackberry playbook is just as useless since there is no native contacts app or email app. If you want that you will also have to have a blackberry phone that is capable of tethering using the blackberry bridge app (if allowed by AT&T and Verizon since that would be another fee technically you might be charged for since you will be tethering your phone to you tablet).
Funny how I and many others are able to get by using the iPad and we don't have flash. The majority of people if the want to view flash will try Skyfire, iSwifter, Cloudbrowse, or will look to see if there is an app already dedicated to that thing you want to watch, like ABC Player or CNN.
Hey if doesn't work for you then it doesn't work for you. I am not trying to come off as an Apple fanboy, just trying to make sure you are informed about your product and what options are out there.
Would it be nice if flash was allowed native......sure. But it isn't so you can either get rid of the product, get an app that supports it (we are talking about spending $2 - $4) or go buy something else and hope your happy with it as well. You can't please everyone. Apple has chosen their stance and as you can see by sales numbers they aren't hurting. Infact i just read about a week or so ago on Gizmodo.com that alot of the other tablet making companies are cutting back on the number of units they will be making due to low sales or projected low sales (you can thank the iPad sales for that). Your one purchase isn't going to impact them that much. Instead, someone else will be standing in line behind you ready and happy to get their apple product.

Cannot install adobe flash drive

I cannot install the flash drive on my mac laptop. My videos are runing very slow.

What is "adobe flash drive"?

I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac12,1
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

"If you've forgotten the Apple ID password how did you log in to make the last post?"
Exactly! The password I used to log on here and write my post I figured was the same Apple ID password I would use to reset my computer login password. But my computer isn't recognizing it as the correct password so it wont let me update my login password. I have 2 user accounts on my computer.
As far as the link you provided, I already looked to that for help earlier. It states:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Users & Groups, click the lock to unlock it, then provide an administrator name and password. Select a user, then click Reset Password.
I did these steps, but I don't remember my admin password. The question is: How do I reset my admin password so I can reset my log in password.
Is my admin password the same password I use to log onto this website to post questions? If so, like I said previously, I already reset that password and my computer isnt recognizing it.

Adobe flash player 10.3 is installed but doesn't appear in plug-ins:what else do I need to do to play videos?

Until a few months ago I was able to play videos in e-mails on my desktop computer, running on windows XP, through Verizon FIOS. Then I kept getting the message that I needed Adobe Flash Player 9.0. I have downloaded the latest version, Adobe Flash Player 10.3.183.1, several times, getting the message from Adobe that I am now running that program. However, when I try to play a video, I still get the message that the the plug-in isn't installed, and the table of plug-ins doesn't include Adobe Flash Player. Is there something else that must be done to make the (presumably) installed program active? If so, what is it?

Sorry, Firefox 4 is not compatible with Flash for Android.
We're starting work to possibly support Flash for Android in a future version of Firefox. For details, see: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Fennec/Features/Plugins

Have installed adobe flash player and is in downloads, and my documents, but I can't open it due to conflicting instance. No idea what to do next

Trying to open adobe flash player so my daughter can play educational games. Think it's downloaded ok, but it won't open due to 'conflicting instances'. I don't even know what that means!

This is the full procedure for installing Adobe Flash for Firefox.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

Adobe Flash Player (Vers. 14.0.0.176) not working in Safari or Firefox on Mac (Mavericks; Vers. 10.9.4). What do I do?!

Hi all,
This is my first post to the forum. I've been directed here because I'm having issues with video streaming/playback (in particular, YouTube) on the Safari and Firefox browsers on my Mac. First, a little bit of information:
My computer:
I have a 2012 iMac with a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 32 GB of memory and a 3TB Apple "Fusion" solid state hard drive. The software version my Mac is currently running is 10.9.4, on the Mavericks OS, as shown in the subject box.
My Issue:
I've noticed, in the past week or so, that video streaming and playback, on YouTube in particular, are either (a) slow or (b) not loading whatsoever. In YouTube, three things become apparent almost immediately: (1) the video (advert or no advert) simply does not load, with a black screen that turns into a grainy screen after a while with the message "An Error Occurred;" (2) the suggested videos on the side panel (i.e., to the right) do not load properly. The thumbnails of the videos simply do not load; and finally, (3) the comments also appear to experience issues from loading. I've attached screenshots to document this.
N.B. Comments do appear, along with the side panel thumbnails once YouTube has given up on trying to load the video
So, What have I done about it?
Everything I can do, to be honest. I've:
(1) Checked preferences in Safari (i.e., plugins are installed correctly)
(2) Cleared Cache in Safari
(3) Deleted "All Site Data and Settings" in the Flash Player section of my System Preferences
(4) Uninstalled Adobe Flash Player completely
(5) Reinstalled Adobe Flash Player
(6) Contacted Apple
(7) Checked Preferences in Safari again (i.e., plugins are installed correctly)
(8) Cleared Cache in Safari again
(9) Reset Safari
(10) Deleted "All Site Data and Settings" in the Flash Player section of my System Preferences
(11) Uninstalled Adobe Flash Player
(12) Undertook a "Clean Install" of Adobe Flash Player, following instructions
And alas, I'm in the forum! May I also add, that I have also scanned my hard drive for any corruption that may be present, generating a negative result. I just do not know what to do at this stage. I've done everything I have knowledge of in trying to resolve this issue.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Kieran

Just for further confirmation that the installation went through succesfully multiple times:

Firefox keeps crashing now that I have Windows 8. I have updatd my Adobe Flash and am not sure what the problem is. Very frustrating.
