When is iPad going to support Adobe Flash Player?

I have had my iPad for more than six months now and am continually frustrated by the lack of support for Adobe Flash Player. Is there any hope?

Adobe has not made a version of Flash for the iPad.

Does apple (specifically iPad and iPhone) support adobe flash player

I'm trying to figure out if Adobe Flash Player is compatible with the iPhone and iPad. Or if there is an app for Adobe Flash. I'm taking a course that requires Flash to access the course materials

It didn't sound like it. When I went in and had a "chat" with the representative she simply said that Flash would have to be installed and that the pop up blocker should be off. So, I really dont' need an app to watch videos really ...
You do need an app if you want to watch Flash videos produced by someone who has also created an app to let iOS viewers see the same content; in that case you'd use the app produced by that developer. Or, you need an app of some sort to watch those same Flash videos if the developer has not created an iOS app to play his content, in that case one created by someone else to more generically play (some) Flash content.
There are a range of them out there, varying in form and content, and no one of them is "best". You simply have to try them out with the content you are trying to see and, with luck, you'll find something that works for you.
And finally, you are quite typically asking your main question in the wrong way. It is not and never was a matter of Apple not 'supporting' Flash, or not 'allowing' Flash content on their devices. Flash doesn't work that way, it's not a mere switch that Apple can turn on or off. It is, instead, an application (reader) which is produced solely by Adobe and has to be licensed from them and them alone, using their proprietary software standards. After literally years of effort, with Apple and Adobe working closely together, Adobe had never been able to produce a version of Flash which worked well enough on mobile devices for Apple to allow it onto their system.
In fact, as I recall the history, the first version of Mobile Flash which worked even halfway well on any mobile devices wasn't released and available until around November '10, and even then was acceptable only when used with a specially produced version of the Android OS which was compatible with only a limited number of machines out there. That would have been 7+ months after the iPad was first released, and about 3 1/2 years after the iPhone came out.
Up to that point the Android forums were full of people complaining about the choppy, grainy, battery-chomping performance of Flash on their systems. For that matter, you continue to find those same threads on those same forums today, albeit not so much as before. It's not merely coincidental that Adobe has decided to slowly walk away from their Flash cash cow as the world around them moves away from large fixed systems into mobile devices.

TS1702 Why does iPad not support adobe flash player

Why does the Ipad not support Adobe Flash Player ?

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. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
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.
A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
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."

Look to the right under More Like This and you will see that you are beating a dead horse. Instead of doing a search for your issue you will be one of the obligatory 5 or 6 folks who ask this same inane question here every bloody day.
So there is you answer, just read a few of the links to the scores of other threads here on this very topic and you will have all of the answers. The primary one being that there is no Flash from Adobe for iOS devices. Never has been, and since Adobe gave up trying to make Flash that worked, likely never will be.

Even when i have updated version of adobe flash player, some sites do not play video

Hi,
Even when i have updated version of adobe flash player and active x from adobe.com, some sites do not play the video. A request box, install the plug in comes. When i click it, it again tries to install the same version of adobe, which i have already downloaded. it is only for some sites.
May be it is because, it is site problem? How to overcome it

ActiveX is part of the Windows operating system. Plus the ActiveX version of Adobe Flash is for Internet Explorer. Other browsers need their own version of Flash' Firefox needs the Plugin version of Flash.
If you go to the Adobe website to download Flash while using Firefox, Adobe will provide the correct version of Flash automatically. Just make sure you de-select any other programs that Adobe may want to stick you with before you actually download Flash. Then close Firefox and run the Adobe Flash installer.

Does firefox for mobile (on android) support adobe flash player?

I wish to view videos on you tube using adobe flash player from my HTC Desire running android 2.2, but need to know if this browser supports adobe flash player.

'''Update''': Firefox for Android now includes supports for Flash content. You'll need the Adobe Flash plugin, which is no longer available in the app market, but you can still download it directly from Adobe. For details, see [[How do I watch Flash videos with Firefox for Android?]]
