Why can't I find nor use flash player after a successful install

Just purchased an Imac Pro with OSX 10.8.5 and after various attempts to install/use Flash Player I'm still confused as to why the installer says all is well with the installation "installation succesfully completed" with no errors whatsoever, the troubleshooting site and, for that matter all applications, say "please install the latest Flash Player"

Spotlight search “Flash Player.plugin” (Search “This Mac” and choose "Show All in Finder")
Right click the Plugin and select “Open Enclosing Folder” Trash the Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt files.
Go to: [user]/Library/Preferences.
Note: You'll need to hold the "Option" key when you click "Go" from the Finder menu to access the [user] Library:
Without the "Option" key
And WITH
Trash the Macromedia folder there.
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support. Trash the Macromedia folder there.
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Preference Panes (not Preferences, but Preference Panes). Trash the Flash Player.prefpane file there.
Empty the trash.
Download the Flash Player (For Mac OS X) again if necessary.
Quit Safari and go to your downloads folder. Double click the DMG to “mount it”.
It will appear on your desktop and a small window will open.
Double click the installer. If you see a warning, click “Open” to let it run.
Click “I have read and agree… etc.” and click “Install”. Enter your password when asked.
You may see the following: click “Force Close All” if you do, and then click “Retry”.
The installer will run.
Choose your update preference, and click “Done”.
Open Safari again and click Safari>Preferences (Cmd+,)
Go to the Security tab. Make sure “Allow plug-ins” is checked.

Screen Flickering when using flash Player after suspend

Hey,
I've got a Samsung R40+ a pretty old Laptop everytime I set him to suspend and wake him afterwards the Screen flickers as soon as I use Flash player. I'ts mainly black and white stripes flashing across the screen especially bad when I watch Videos in Fulscreen. This happens with the Flashplugin aswell as with the Pepper-Flash in Chrome.
This has been an Issue Forever even back when I used Ubuntu I just Ignored it and never Let My Laptop suspend but if there is a solution I would love That.

Hi mohamedfo,
Welcome to the Support Communities! Are you getting an error message when you try to install Adobe Flash Player? Here is some recent information ...

Adobe Flash Player updates available for OS X on December 12, 2014
Adobe Flash Player updates address a recently identified Adobe Flash Player web plug-in vulnerability.
If you're using an out-of-date version of the Adobe Flash Player plug-in, you may see the message “Blocked plug-in,” “Flash Security Alert,” or “Flash out-of-date” when attempting to view Flash content in Safari.
Clicking the indicator displays a message that Adobe Flash Player is out-of-date:

Why can't I print from Adobe Flash Player?

OK, I have a magazine done in Flash at the following site:
http://ca.zinio.com/reader.jsp?issue=416140118&o=ext
Before I was able to print the Web content and had a print icon in the Flash Player window - located between the Share icon and the Zoom out icon.
Now, this printer icon is gone!
I just noticed this after the latest Flash "patch" come out.
details:
Flash Player version 10.1.85.3
Windows 7 OS - 32 bit
FireFox 3.6.10
Same issue in Google Chrome and IE.
Anyone know what's going on?
thanks in advance.

Companies like Adobe, Google, Firefox, etc.. no longer support anything less than 10.6. If you’re happy with 10.5 there’s no need for you to upgrade. But realize that you can’t get the latest version of many applications.

Cannot use Flash player after 10.2, have to keep reverting back to that version or earlier.

I am frustrated. I cannot use any flash versions later than Adobe® Flash® Player Installer/Uninstaller 10.2 r159 . If I update to version 11 or later I cannot watch any flash videos. The audio will play but the video freezes and pauses.
I have been trying to find a solution to this issue, versions 10.2 and earlier work fine but ever since the new flash was released and I have tried to update, I run into the same problem and have to revert back to 10.2 or earlier.
I thought maybe it might have been the video card but I had it replaced and same issue and I have two other notebooks with the same exact hardware but different OS and they are able to use Adobe 11 just fine.
The issue is also present when using Linux (Ubuntu).
My configuration.
Operating system:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
and
Ubuntu
Processor:
Intel T9300 2.5Ghz
Video card:
Nvidia GeForce 8700M GT
Memory:
4GB
I would like if someone could help me with this issue. I am frustrated becasue sites are 'requiring / mandating' that I update to Adobe 11 but if I do so I cannot use part of the site, for example Facebook or Youtube.
Thanks in advance for any feedback....

That seems to have solved the problem.
Question though, why does turning the hardware acceleration off make the videos play better in high definition? I'm kinda baffled.
My video card driver is nv4_disp.dll , version 6.14.0012.6658, date 1/7/2011
I have tried many different Nvidia drivers trying to solve that issue and even had the video card replaced thinking it was the cause, but had the same problem with a new video card so thought I would try here.
Seems to work for me though now with the lastest version of flash but still I am confused why this is so.
Thank you for your help.

Flash player 11.8 successfully installed but is listed as disabled in the add-ons with no option to enable

I cannot get flash player to work on my firefox browser. I installed the latest version of flash player on my mac several times, and it says it is installed successfully. If I look on my add-ons from the "Tools" menu, it says that Flashplayer is disabled, but with no button or option that I can see to enable it. If I try to watch a video on youtube, it says that flash is blocked for my protection. Flash is working fine on Safari and Chrome. Do you have any advice as to what I can do to get flash working on this browser? Thank you!

I closed firefox and deleted pluginreg.dat, and then I opened firefox again and a new pluginreg.dat file appeared. The flash player still appears to be disabled when I look at my plugins though and if I go to a website that requires flash it still doesn't work.

I can't open anything that uses flash player in Firefox, I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and no luck! but flash works fine on my seamonkey browser, can anyone please HELP me?

None of the flash games will work on FF, I have even uninstalled FF and reinstalled it, I have disabled QuickTime, I have uninstalled Adobe flash and reinstalled it and still NOTHING! Flash works fine on Seamonkey though

Check that plugin scanning is turned on (it should be by default). If it is turned off Firefox will not search the Windows registry for details of plugins that it can use.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''plugin.scan.plid.all''', if the value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change it to '''true'''
If it was set to false, re-start Firefox to see if the Flash plugin is now available.
Also make sure that you have installed the version of Flash used by Firefox. You should have it because SeaMonkey is using it, but if the Flash plugin is in SeaMonkey's own plugins folder Firefox may not be able to see it.
Download the latest plugin from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/completion/?installer=Flash_Player_10.2_for_Windows_-_Other_Browsers and run it to install the version of Flash used by Firefox, this will install it in the default location so that Firefox should be able to find it.

I am sure there is a simple answer... but why can't I find where my extension is after install?

Hello,
I downloaded KT-ly 's 151 shapes and borders, tried to instal them, but when I open my PS I can't find anywhere. I can find my other downloads under brushes and actions, but not this one... where should i be looking??
Also, on another border download, which installed the borders under the brushes (??) I can only change the color of the inside of the image, but the outline stays in black??
I am new to this!!
THanks!

I am not new to Photoshop, have spent the last six years learning, use the application for at least about fifty hours per week, and I feel that I've barely scratched the surface.

Not a "menu".
Go to the Tools panel, select custom shape,

HT1657 Why can't I find my HD movie rental after I downloaded it on my iPad 3?

I can't seem to find a HD movie I recently rented and downloaded on my new iPad 3. It is not under purchased items and it is not under downloaded items. Also, when I go back to iTunes and look at the movie it says I already rented and downloaded it. I rented it last night around 10pm and couldn't find it is morning.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or what I need to do to find the rental?

It should be in the Videos app (iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store) :
If it's not in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work

Why can't I find certain Pantone plus colors in Illustrator CS6 color books?

Why can't I find certain Pantone plus colors in Illustrator CS6 color books? For example I want to use PMS 2296C, but it is not coming up in the color swatch book in Illustrator.

Thanks!
I actually just came across the same thing in the meantime.
And it worked!
If you bought the physical Pantone books, there is a registration/serial number on the back. You can go to Pantone and register it (https://www.pantone.com/pages/MYP_myPantone/mypProductRegistration.aspx)
Then you're able to download the Pantone manager.
There are infact 336 new colors added to the Pantone Plus series. And this is where you need to get them. Once you have them, in Pantone color manager, you go to: File/Export/Adobe Illustrator/sRB. Then restart Illustrator.
Once you go back in, the new 336 colors are available!
