Why do iPhones/iPad not support Flash Player/Java and what are my alternatives for browsing sites using these plug-ins?

There are also iSwifter, Photon, Skyfire, etc., some only support Flash some support Java and Flash.
Adobe never made a version of Flash for iOS and closed their mobile flash division a couple of years ago. You can get Flash on other personal devices but you will be using a 2 year old version that has not been patched for security vulnerabilities.
When the original iPhone was released Mr. Jobs said it would never run Java as it was old technology and a security risk. Nothing has changed since.

Why does the iPad not support flash player? I would like to watch programming from att uverse but cannot because of this restriction

Because NOTHING that is iOS supports Flash. Never has never will.
The only possible option is to try the Skyfire browser from the App store. It is an internet browser that converts flash to HTML 5 so that you can attempt to view it on iOS devices.
I have never tried it so I can tell you if it is any good, but it has gotten decent reviews.

Of course repeating your question so many times make it so much clearer, NOT!
Because Adobe was never able to write one for iOS.

Since the iPhone does not support flash player, is there another option to download without jailbreaking the phone?

Is there another option for the iPhone that is similar to flash player? As we know flash is not supported.

please use the search box at the top of the page. Your question has been asked and answered many, many, many, many times already.

Probably never : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus Adobe have never managed to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, and they have recently announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, and there is the built-in YouTube app.

If your wireless environment is less than ideal, as it is in most inhabited areas, the influence of other wireless networks and devices competing for the same very small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum will affect your network's performance. Your own wireless network is a microcosm of that environment.
To mitigate the effects of competing wireless networks, use 5 GHz to the maximum practicable extent. It is comparatively free from interference contributed by other wireless devices and is likely to remain that way for some time. However, it is less tolerant of intervening obstructions and construction materials than the 2.4 GHz spectrum, so it's not a panacea. Every installation is different so you must experiment to determine the optimum configuration.
Place your wireless router (what kind is it?) in a central location, convenient to all the devices that require it. Most of the time a utility or ISP will locate it in some remote corner next to the utility service entrance. That is almost always the worst possible location.
Others find that only a direct wired Ethernet connection between router and devices will maintain uninterrupted access to Airplay.
That is almost certain to result in the best possible AirPlay performance. Short of having everything hard wired (it's not an option for the iPad for example) use an Ethernet connection for all the devices that lend themselves to that method. Your AppleTV is certainly one of them, since its location is not likely to change very often. Your AirPort Express should be another, since your audio systems are likely to stay put as well. Connect them both to your existing router, either directly or through an inexpensive Ethernet switch. Your problems are likely to be solved with just those two connections.

I´ve bought the new IPad3, what a disappointment the 3G does not work, no Internet available, APPLE what are you doing for the all the people in Germany who bought the new IPad3? I´m still an Apple fan, all my products are from Apple but I need a solution

It would be advisable for Apple to react officially on it. € 799, - for something that doesn´t function is no fun :-((
Isn't replacing your iPad Apple "officially" acting on it?

You would have to ask Apple, or your local official reseller.

My iPad does not support flash player. What can I do to listen to Finnish radio on the iPad?

Help! How can I listen to my beloved Finnish radio on this new fangled iPad? To listen to it I require flash player. Any ideas?

For general internet radio listening I recommend TuneIn Radio, either the free or paid Pro version.
If by Finnish radio you mean Yle they have an app available, they even direct you to it when you first surf to their website.

Why doesn't iPad allow adobe flash player?

Why does Mac support Adobe Flash Player, but iPad doesn't? And are they working on compatibility?

iPads and Mac computers are different hardware and software platforms.
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."

E-M5 Mark II: Why does LR6 not support working with the full 4:3 raw image for pictures taken using a different aspect ratio?

When importing Olympus E-M1 or E-M10 raw images which are taken in aspect ratio different to native the 4:3 MFT sensor format, LR will display the frame as crop overlay to the full image as captured by the sensor. This is very useful because at time of postprocessing one can still control the position of the frame, and modify if required.
I was very suprised to see that for E-M5 Mark 2 this is not supported in LR6. The raw file in LR6 corresponds exactly to the frame which was chosen while shooting. Full 4:3 image information is present in the ORF raw file though, which can be easily seen eg using Olympus Viewer.
Is there any specific reason why this useful feature has been neglected for E-M5 Mark II?
Thanks
Karsten

When streaming Vid with flash player, audio and video are not in sync

With Flash 11.6, audio and video are not in sync. Video is slower. Using Firefox 20.0.1

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
[[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
[[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
[[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

Why does my iPad not give me the option to enter a phone number for iMessage or FaceTime?

Safari's flash player, java and bookmarks...

Hello, i've been using safari since i switched to mac, and it's definitely much better browser than firefox, at least for me, but so far i've faced several problems, i'd be thankful for a solutions:
1- The latest Flash Player, which i have downloaded for my Intel Mac, but still some sites gives me errors like this:
http://www.belkin.com/apple/matrix/index.asp?cid=1&lid=1&dock=y
2- The java problem, or perhaps the lack. which i only faced with this site, I'm not sure if i am lacking some plugins or it's just that site not compatible with Safari:
http://www.aramex.com/shopandship/
the java problem is after you login, which may not be a good checkable site
i'd like to rise another issue, about the bookmarks it's all good with the fantastic search ability, but why i cannot create some subfolders like firefox?
if there's any suggestion about that, it would be great
Thanks in advance.

As far as the bookmarks go, if you choose Show All Bookmarks from the Bookmarks menu in Safari, it will take you to all your bookmarks. From the Collections list click one to select it. The contents of the collection should be displayed to the right. Click the triangle next to a folder to display its contents. The folder should still be highlighted. Choose Add Bookmark Folder from the Bookmarks menu and an untitled subfolder should be formed. You can name it and add bookmarks to it. Then choose Hide All Bookmarks from the Bookmarks menu.
