Why am I asked to reinstall flash player in safari over and over

This has been going on for weeks.  I have downloaded and installed the update for Flash Player at least six times, but every time I go to a page with Flash, I have to do it again, and it still doesn't work.  What could be causing this?

I am having the same problem with W7, SP 1 when I open AOL or Firefox.  I have completely removed it and reinstalled it to no avail.  Why has no one answered Mac Video Lady's question and can anyone help me with mine?

  • Why do I have to reinstall Flash Player on my system everytime I start/restart sys?

    I have to reinstall Flash Player (latest ver) everytime I start or restart my system (Win7, x64, IE10). I have followed all the instructions provided by the Adobe community on correctly installing FP, but to no avail. Is there something in my system that deletes FP when I start or restart the system? Help...

  • Why do I get message that Flash player is in use and can't be installed even though I have uninstalled it?

    Using Windows7, attempting to install Flash Player version 17.0.0.134
    I download the installer, specifically from the site for Firefox, and uninstall previous version and yet I get this message.
    Have tried several times to update and now to do new install and it is impossible. I am without the previous version, which didn't work on
    Firefox anyway, and now can't install new version. Please help.

    Hi Norman,
    lease try the following:
    Download the uninstaller from Uninstall Flash Player | Windows
    Download the Flash Player installer for Firefox, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page in the 'Still having problems section.
    Run the uninstallerThis will remove all versions of Flash Player installed on the system except for the ActiveX Control for Internet Explorer
    Reboot your system
    Install Flash Player using the installer downloaded in step 2
    After installation completes, launch Firefox, navigate to Flash Player Help and click the 'Check Now' button.
    Results should indicate that you have the latest version, 17.0.0.134, installed.

  • Why are there two versions of flash player on my laptop?

    I'm running 64 bit Windows 7 Professional which seems to handle both 32 and 64 bit software.  I use Firefox as my default browser and use MSIE only when I must. 
    A Flash update failed so I checked the uninstall programs list thinking I'll just uninstall and reinstall the latest.
    Huh?  I found both "Flash Player 10 Active X" and "Flash Player 11 Plugin 64 bit."  Now I've no clue what failed to upgrade nor why there are two versions.  Why 10 AND 11 and why is one called "Active X" while the other is called "Plugin". 
    And, to confuse me further, there is also Adobe AIR.  I don't know what or why or how to deal with all of these.  Would somebody kindly explain?
    And, how do I figure out what update to which failed?

    The ActiveX Flash Player is used by Internet Explorer and the plug-in Flash Player is used by Firefox.
    Download the following files:
    Uninstaller for 64 bit Operating Systems
    Flash Player for Internet Explorer
    Flash Player for other browsers
    Close the browser and disconnect from the Internet.  Run the uninstaller and restart Windows.
    Delete all remaining files and folders located in the following directories. (tip: copy and paste these paths into the path bar in an Windows Explorer window) 
    C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash 
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash 
    %appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player 
    %appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player
    Verify that the file “FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl” in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ system, has been deleted.
    Run both installers.

  • I am using Windows 7 and using IE 10, I have to reinstall Flash Player each time I start my computer

    Hi I am using Windows 7 and IE 10 and I have to reinstall Flash Player each time I start my computer, even with a fresh install. The same thing is happening on my laptop and is driving me crazy. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this problem. I have tried some suggested fixes from this forum with still no results. Thanks.

    Make sure that you allow Firefox in your security software (firewall).
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
    See:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
    Try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 19.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • Why This Web Must Use Adobe Flash Player

    Hey i want ask,

  • Why doesn't Apple support Adobe Flash player on the iPad?  Very irritating!

    Why doesn't Apple support Adobe Flash player on the iPad?  Very irritating!

    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.

    I use Firefox and IE. Everyday I have to remove and reinstall flash player to be able to use it. Every day I receive the message that I don't have F player installed and I have to download it. I check add-ons and I can't find it there but it's installed in program,s and features in my control panel. I'm usin win 7 32-Bit and I always download the latest 11.3 F player. I'm tired of going through the same process everyday! BTW, I delete all my cookies and browsing history every time I want to close my explorers. But it's not new I've always done that but the problem with the lawstest F player is quite recent since the first time I download F player 11.3! Please help me.

    Because eight years ago, when Apple developed it, Steve Jobs was adamant that iOS NEVER EVER EVER be compatible with Flash. That... will never change.
    Apple says to use "SkyFire" as your browser if you must view Flash content (which they do not recommend you do with an iPad). It's free in the App Store.

  • Why can't I find Adobe Flash Player for Linux/Firefox 4

    I can't figure out how to get Adobe Flash or Shockwave player for Firefox 4. Running Ubuntu 10.04 and when I try to find them in add-ins for FF4 there seems to be nothing. I am not the world's most experienced Linux guy but since Flash and Shockwave are so common it seems curious that they don't have them as add-ins for FF4. Maybe I'm just so far off track on this one it may be the dumbest question anyone has ever asked. But what the heck, you never know the answer if you don't ask the question.
    Thanks!

    There is no flash player for the iphone and Adobe would be the one to develop one, not Apple. And there are no plugins to install instead, as far as I know.
