Why can't i use flash!!??

i have installed flash over a dozen times now, disabled every
pop-up blocker, virus, or firewall protector, and no website will
ever load. they all tell me to download and install flash all over
again. the google toolbar manages to work (even though i don't want
it), but no matter how many times i install it, restart internet
explorer, and restart vista it is never recognized.
any advice, kind people smarter than me? i had used flash for
months up until a couple weeks ago when this began....help!!

It's working!!!
Here's where I went and what I did:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_19166&sliceId=2
Scroll down to #4. Just above that is this:
If the ActiveX Control for Flash Player fails to install,
download the executable installer.
If the information above has not resolved the issue, download
the executable Flash Player installer here:
Download and unzip Install_Flash_Player_9_ActiveX.zip. (
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/ts/documents/tn_19166/Install_Flash_Player_9_Acti veX.zip)
Save this installer to your desktop, close out all
applications, and run the installer. This may help if you are
having trouble with the ActiveX installation from Adobe.com. To
confirm that Flash Player has installed successfully, please visit:
www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/.
All of a sudden Flash is working again!

  • Why can't I use Flash player?

    Hi
    Does anyone know why Apple will not use Adobe Flash? It is really frustrating to be told " you need to install the latest version of Adobe Flash player" and know that it cannot be done!

    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."

  • Why can't I use adobe flash player to open attachments

    Why can't I use adobe to open attachments - have downloaded latest version but still get a black page

    You're probably using IE11. This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser, at least until Microsoft gets their act together and fixes IE..
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • Why can't I use the 16GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm) with 24GB flash Hard Drive Acceleration Cache?

    I tried to customize the Envy 15t but I can't proceed on upgrading the following.
    Error
    24GB SSD Acceleration Cache requires purchase only up to 8GB System Memory. 
    Why can't I use the 16GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm) with 24GB flash Hard Drive Acceleration Cache?
    Can HP explain this to me? or any one? please

    Hi,
    The 24Gb cache drive will store manything and normally it will need at least twice the size (capacity) of RAM. Double 16Gb is 32Gb therefore 24Gb is not big enough.
    Regards.

  • Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?

    Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?

    3-D is very memory intensive.
    System requirements | Photoshop
    Mac OS
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, or v10.9
    2 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
    3.2 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
    1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with 16-bit color and 512 MB of VRAM (1 GB recommended)**
    OpenGL 2.0–capable system
    Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, membership validation, and access to online services.*
    ** 3D features are disabled and some Mercury Graphics Engine enhanced features may not work with less than 512 MB VRAM. Read the Help article.
    Bottom line, you don't have enough VRAM

    Why can't I use the adobe illustrator on the under armor web page?

    If Flash is required to use the app on the website, Flash is not supported with iOS devices and Adobe recently announced they will no longer be supporting Flash with any mobile device.

  • Why can't I use firefox as my browser on my iPad

    Why can't I use firefox as my browser on my iPad also why can't I access adobe flash

    Flash is not supported on any iOS device (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Apps such as Skyfire claim to support flash, but their reviews are mixed.
    In terms of Firefox, you can only install apps (i.e. programs) that are available in the iTunes App Store, not normal PC or Mac software - the iPad runs iOS, not OS or Windows. If the makers of Firefox havn't created an iOS version of it then you cannot run it.
    Edit : some websites (especially news sites) have their own apps in the App Store

  • Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

    I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:
    iOS version 6.1.6
    I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.
    Here is what finally worked:
    1) Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On
    2) Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > On
    3) Reboot device until Apple logo appears
    4) Settings > Messages > Sign In

    why can't i use credit card on app store its money on it and its an visa card

    Credit cards do need to be from the same country as your account, which may or may not apple, but if you're visiting from another country and trying to use, for example, a UK card in the US app store, it won't work.
    Could you have typo'd a number? Or could the card be expired?

    Is this a visa gift card? I seem to recall people having issues with credit card gift cards.
