What is the iPad alternative to Flash Player?

What is the iPad alternative to Flash Player?

There are alternate browsers that redirect flash content to their servers, change it to stuff that works on iOS and send it to your device.
They mostly kind of work.
Look at skyfire, photon, iswifter, puffin.
Read some reviews and see if one will work for you.

  • Why does the iPad not support flash player? I would like to watch programming from att uverse but cannot because of this restriction

    Why does the iPad not support flash player? I would like to watch programming from att uverse but cannot because of this restriction

    Because NOTHING that is iOS supports Flash. Never has never will.
    The only possible option is to try the Skyfire browser from the App store. It is an internet browser that converts flash to HTML 5 so that you can attempt to view it on iOS devices.
    I have never tried it so I can tell you if it is any good, but it has gotten decent reviews.

  • I have lost track of the number of websites that do not work properly on the iPad without Adobe Flash player which is unsupported. I cannot use retail sites, billing sites and most important of all job application sites. All are missing tabs, links, info

    I have lost track of the number of websites which do not work properly on my iPad. They include retail sites, billing sites and most important of all job application sites. They all seem to require Adobe Flash Player which cannot be downloaded onto an iPad. Skyfire does not solve the problem. They all load without vital parts of the site such as tabs, links and correct formatting. Any suggestions?

    Most such brower/service combinations have a difficult time working with Flash-based apps and often fail completely. Flash videos are usually the most successful content these browers can handle. You can try the others apps - Puffin, iSwifter, etc - but you may find that none of them work, in which case you will not be able to use your iPad with these sites other than by using one of the various remote control solutions to take over a computer running the full Flash Player.
    IMHO, any developer that built a Flash application for a billing or job application site was an idiot, but I know that's out of the control of anyone but the relevant company.
    Regards.

  • What are the distinctions between Adobe Flash Player & Shockwave Player & Shockwave Flash?

    I find references to what seem to be three distinct things:
    Adobe Flash Player
    Shockwave Player
    Shockwave Flash
    Treatment of these things is interwoven and confusing:. 
    As an example, the Adobe Shockwave Player page at URL:  http://www.adobe.com/products/shockwaveplayer/  provides a link to a page to test whether Shockwave Player is installed.   That test, however, is the test to see whether Adobe Flash Player ins installed. 
    On my Mac running OS X 10.6.4 Firefox 8.0.1 has a Plug-In named Shockwave Flash 11.0.1.152. 
    Are these things indeed distinct?  Is it likely that both (or all three) are needed on the same computer?  The Adobe web site should clearly define the relationships at a high level of visibility.

    Basically, the Flash player is just that: you can watch videos, but you can't interact with them.
    To give it its full name, Shockwave For Director is primarily used for things like games, or demos where the user can interact with the animation.
    The current version of the Shockwave (For Director) player is 11.6.3.633 while the current Flash player is 11.1.102.55

  • What's the latest on adobe flash player any way to get it yet

    ANy new ways to try and get flash player on an iphone or ipad?

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
      1. Puffin
      2. SkyFire
      3. Photon Flash
      4. Browse2Go
      5. Swifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

  • What is the problem with Adobe flash player usage?

    Why doesn't adobe flash player work in my iPad?

    Use the search bar and type Flash in.  There are thousands and thousands of posts on this.  But the net of this is that Adobe was not able to create a stable version of flash and no iOS device has EVER had flash.  Just as importantly, Adobe had abandoned support for flash on all Mobile platforms.  That said, there are apps in the App Store you can purchase, that with limited success do work.  One app, iSwifter is an option.  There are others as well.

  • What is the latest version of Flash Player plugin for Win XP running IE8?

    What is the latest version of Adobe Flash Player plugin? I am running Window XP Pro with IE 8. I don't have any other browsers installed. I currently have Flash Player Active X version 11.8.800.175 and Flash Player plugin version 11.8.800.168. Isn't there a plugin of a higher version?

    11.8.800.168 is the latest plugin version.  But since you do not use any other browser, you do not really need the plugin, except for rich media content in Adobe Reader.

  • What are the chances of getting flash player to work on my windows 7 starter?

    Ive tried everything, gone to site after site reading other peoples coments about the same issue, but no difinitive answer as yet, Please help. I have a inspiron mini laptop,  32bit, windows 7 starter, and have just found out that it wont even let you change the desktop wallpaper, surely it supports flash player, my decision to buy this lap top is looking like a stupid decision. PLEASE HELP, SOMEBODY, ANYBODY  thankyou.

    Hi, Well I don't know about the wallpaper:-), but I'm sure that there isn't any computer that wont' support Flash Player!
    When you first set up your new computer, you set up the Administrator Account first. You will use that Account for Installing Flash Player. It is the one that gives you Permission to do so.
    Next, I need to know if you have Installed any version of Flash Player on your computer?
    Do you use any browser other than IE8?
    What Anit-Virus program do you have Installed?
    Use your IE browser and test at this site and let me know if you can see any animation of the Flash logo and what version of Flash Player does it say is Installed.
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    If you use another browser, test with that also.
    Thanks,

  • What's the app similar to flash player on pc?

    I can't play an  online series on web they said I need flash player.

    There isn't one, flash isn't supported (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/). You might be able to use iSwifter to play the games, or they might have their own app versions in the store.
    If you have problems watching flash videos then, depending on what sites you are trying to access, you might find that some of them (probably more so if they are news sites) have their own apps in the App Store which might let you get some of the content that you want (and there is the built-in YouTube app). Also there are browsers such as Skyfire which 'work' on some sites - but judging by the reviews not all sites.

  • What is the problem with Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.257?

    I tried to update to Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.257 using FireFox. I get the screen that says "initializing" and that seems to go okay. I am then shown the screen that asks me how I want to handle updates. I choose notify me. Then the download starts. It completes 47% and then I get a message that says Timed Out. Adobe does not seem to have any solutions. I downloaded it fine on Internet Explorer. FF is the only problem

    Currently, I don't have any version of Flash installed as a plug-in on Firefox.
    On Internet Explorer, I downloaded the 11.xxx - no problem.
    The previous version of Flash for Firefox was 10.3.xxx - I was using that until I went to a frequently visited website and it prompted me to update to the latest version.
    I began the download.
    First thing I saw was the installer started "Initializing." That stopped and then I was ask to select an update method (automatic, notify me, no update). I selected Notify Me. I clicked Next and then download and install started. It stopped at 47% and gave me a Timed Out message. It then said that it was unable to install. I turned off my antivirus software etc. No luck. No message that I can find indicates that it is getting blocked.
    One of the suggestions I read was that, if the 11.xxx version did not download and install, then I should uninstall the earlier versions. I did this. Still no success. The problem continues.
    Bing Maps: That has been going on for about one year. I cannot get any search results if I type in a location. The map appears for a brief second and then disappears. It is like it is getting blocked but I cannot figure out how. It does not happen on IE. I was using Firefox on Bing maps fine - this was an overnight change.

  • Why do iPhones/iPad not support Flash Player/Java and what are my alternatives for browsing sites using these plug-ins?

    Why do iPhones/iPad not support Flash Player/Java and what are my alternatives for browsing sites using these plug-ins?

    There are also iSwifter, Photon, Skyfire, etc., some only support Flash some support Java and Flash.
    Adobe never made a version of Flash for iOS and closed their mobile flash division a couple of years ago. You can get Flash on other personal devices but you will be using a 2 year old version that has not been patched for security vulnerabilities.
    When the original iPhone was released Mr. Jobs said it would never run Java as it was old technology and a security risk. Nothing has changed since.
