Why do I keep getting the Flash Player update message?

Every time I switch on my PC I get a message from Adobe about an available update to Flash Player. If I try to download/install from the message, it fails. I already have Flash Player. I asked Norton to help and yesterday they downloaded Flash Player onto my PC from the Adobe website. I'm on Windows 7 and the version of Flash Player I have seems to be 13.0.0.214 but I STILL keep getting the message from Adobe inviting me to install the update. it is driving me mad. Here's a copy of the message:

Hi Pat
Apologies if my email didn't make it clear that I had been trying to download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player by following the instructions in their message, but it always failed. Then Norton downloaded and installed it on my PC (remotely) while I watched, but when I checked the programmes on my PC it wasn't the latest version that appeared on the list. However following your email I have tried again just now (by downloading and installing from Adobe's website) and it installed OK and the latest version now shows on my programmes. Fingers crossed that I don't get that message again next time I switch on my laptop...!
Many thanks for responding.
Kind regards,
Heather

What ever app(website) you are using is written in flash, and is not going to work on an iOS ( or many other) devices.
2 choices.
Get an alternate browser from the App Store. I hear puffin works ok. Will not do everything, so try out what ever you are trying to do on a free version before you buy.
Or
Many sites and special programs will have an app in the store to access their material. Look there and see if the one you are trying to use has one.

Why can't I get the Flash Player 11 for my Mac?

Why can't I upgrade to Flash player 11 on my iMac desktop? It is an OS X Version 10. 5. 8.

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.

Hi BT54,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, I'm not sure if this is causing the issue but it is a possible cause. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Payment methods you can use in the iTunes Store, Mac App Store, App Store, and iBooks Store - Apple Support
If you create an account for a child under 13* in Family Sharing, you must use a credit card as the payment method. After you create the child’s Apple ID, however, you can change your payment method back to a debit card.

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Try installing Adobe Flash Player using your built-in Administrator account.

I run a windows 7 professional edition on my computer. This problem started about 2 weeks ago and it seems that i am getting ignored by all the staff and everybody else because seems to give me advice. I have tried multiple step, i have tried a clean boot, i also did a scan of the security files of microst to se if there was something wrong with the files i know it's a bug in the coding. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling problem is it's always running and i cannot disable it because i don't see any programs running on flash in my process. I have talk to multiple tech support and since this has been going on for two weeks and adobe has no tech support only a community of experts it has not gotten resolved and won't be anytime soon so plz if you have advice plz inlighten me cuz i am done it's getting really old really fast. I am aslo having the same problem as these people with this thread here : http://forums.adobe.com/message/5472502#5472502

Hi, I've been working on this problem on my computer, windows vista, for a while now
and since nothing can correct this problem
I just now discovered that there are two flashplayerupdateservice.exe on my hard drive!
one in my windows\system32 directory and
the other one in windows\system32\MacroMed\Flash
exactly the same version, same everything, 11.6.602.180 both of them
I suspect having two copies of the same program is what makes it crash.
Can Adobe please fix this problem? It's just annoying, does not hurt and you can leave it alone
and go on with your business, but it would be nice to get rid of that error message.
Thanks

In IE I keep getting "adobe flash player 10 required" even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled

in IE I keep getting "adobe flash player 10 required" even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version. Weirdly, the sound still works

Just to update: Before posting, I tried everything I could find on Flash Player Help | Installation problems | Windows and nothing worked. The flash player stopped working in early November. I know it is some setting somewhere that I need to fix, but I just can't find it. I get a message that "adobe flash player 10 required" but, oddly, I still get sound.

HT1491 Why do i keep getting the message 'Cannot connect to iTunes Store' when I have done every connection I can find? What does the error message (-1202) mean when I am on the iTunes site on my computer?

Hi Velvalee,
While there may not be specific information about that error, here is an article of steps for troubleshooting connectivity issues with the iTunes store:

I can not get the flash player plug in to work with Internet Explorer

I can't get the computer to update anything as far as I can see.
The flash plug in does work with the Crome browser but it will not work with Internet explorer.
I looked in the manage add-ons and it says enabled.
I also went into the safety tab and deselected
Active X filtering.
Restarted and still does not work.
I need help.....
Chrome uses a different and separate plug-in.
There are things about IE you need to know, especially 11. Specifically:
"User-Agent Strings"
That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess they've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
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.

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.

I have the 10.7.4 and I cannot get the Flash Player ,, please help me.

If you downloaded it, it's likely in your Downloads folder as a Disk Image .dmg. Just open it and intall Flash player and restart your browser. Everything should work.
