Means you either have an outdated Flash Player installed, or an outdated Flash Player component remains on your system. You need to perform a clean install

I have firefox 3.6.12 and every time it asks me to instal adobe flash player it gets to a screen that tells me that it will be installed when the conflicting application firefox is closed

Once I have closed firefox it will load the latest version of flash player but this will turn up in the internet explorer software but will not load the plu in into firefox which is my preferred browser. Hence all programs requiring this send me into a loop of frustration.

There are two versions of Flash, one for IE ''(the ActiveX version)'' and one for all other browsers, the Plugin version. You need to install the Plugin version, in addition to the ActiveX version - both should appear in Add / Remove Programs in the Windows Control Panel.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{ Ctrl+Alt+Del = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

I have windows 7 and even as a Administrator I cannot install Adobe flash player 11

Every time I try it says I have insufficient access/ permission or something like that. I went to the adobe troubleshooting and did all they steps and It still won't install. I read that if I have "User Accounts And Family Safety" it wont let me install, which do. But if I have "User Accouts" it would install. Also I don't use/ have Mozilla Foxfire. This all started happening yesterday. I had a flash player or still do have one. Could that be the reason the new version won't install? Do I have to uninstall the old one first or what?

Try a clean install, as described in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315
Still having troubles after this? If you are on Windows, try http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987370

On My web site the adobe flash player replaced with a white box "need to install adobe flash player and Java script" both installed. My web site fine using Internet Explorer and Chrome.

I've updated to Firefox ver 5.

The FlashPlayer plugin used for Firefox is entirely separate from the one that Internet Explorer uses. You system details do not show Flash Player is installed.
With flash player installed and enabled if you go to the Adobe website it will check that FlashPlayer works, also you will be able to download and install from there if necessary. The site page also has links to troubleshooting information. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Javascript is not the same as Java. Javascript, which is what you need enabled at present is a feature of the firefox browser that needs enabling in order for it to handle the javscript files.
* use '''Firefox button -> Options ->| Content| -> [] Enable Javascript'''
* see [[Javascript]]

Im trying to install adobe flash player and it says i need to close firefox i did and it still says i haven't and won't continue with download

its saying to close firefox after i have closed it and won't continue with installing flash player

Download and installation are two separate steps. The Adobe Flash '''installation''' procedure requires that Firefox be closed before installing Flash.
orange Firefox button > '''''Exit''''' or File > Exit to close Firefox. Then wait a minute or so before starting to install Flash.

Why does mac have to download adobe flash player to view videos

why does mac have to download adobe flash player to view video clips?

If you have a new-ish Mac or one you just upgraded to Mac OS X Lion, Adobe Flash Player is not installed by default. Since some web content is created specifically to be seen only with Adobe Flash Player, if you want to see that content, you need to install it.
It's trivial to do so. Start here:

Tried to install Adobe Flash Player - says old version is outdated. Why does it say blocked plug in?

Tried to install Adobe Flash player update. Site says blocked plug- in ---so did the update work?

The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
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 (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.

Why does my screen turn blue and freeze every time i try to plug in my 'mini display to hdmi' cable into my thunderbolt port in order to use an external monitor?

why does my screen turn blue and freeze every time i try to plug in my 'mini display to hdmi' cable into my thunderbolt port in order to use an external monitor? it only works if i turn the computer on with it already plugged in.

Do you have gfxCardStatus installed? Is your monitor set to "Integrated" or "Discrete". You want it set to Discrete to drive the external HDMI display.
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC

<Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)>
Are you sure you have a good miniDisplayPort to HDMI cable?
Do you have another HDMI display you can test against (your neighbor's HDMI capable TV).
Do you have friend that can test the cable using their Mac and maybe their TV or a monitor that has HDMI input.

Look under system preferences on the mac at what is be controlled? Look at Mail, Contacts, Calendars. How many accounts are managing contacts? Just the cloud? the cloud and gmail? or cloud, gmail, yahoo, and exchange? If you have more than one contact account, then you will have different contact lists, if John Smith shows up in more than one of your contact lists, you will have multiple entries.
Pick a contact list that is your master, (I use iCloud), only turn on contact syncing for it. The same for your phone. Spend some time on the iCloud webset (www.icloud.com) and work on your contact list there. Clean it up, remove duplicates, etc...Changes will auto sync back to all your devices. Life gets much simplier.
Just remember, if you sync different contacts lists and a large number of people appear in your different lists, then they will appear as duplicates.

I have a downloaded font file for a school problem on a flash drive and I do not know how to install it into my photoshop application. Need to be walked through this as I am an older user who does not understand any of this stuff.

Fonts are handled by your operating system and installed through the respective System Control panel (Windows) or Fontbook (Mac). On Windows simply type "Fonts" in the search bar in the start menu and when you open the panel/ folder use File --> Add Font. On Mac the procedures are similar, you just need to find the Fontbook app in Applications:Utilities.

Why does Mac OX 10.6.8 keep making copies of a file anytime I download, copy, or move a file?

Why does Mac OX 10.6.8 keep making copies of a file anytime I download, copy, or move a file? It will copy, dowload or move the file, then begin making copies until I reboot. This makes it impossible to deal wit hfiles unless I want to spend a lot of time rebooting after every time, then deleting all the redundant copies.

If I understand what you are saying this is very strange. Sure you tried Reparing Permissions and all that. Also sure you're aware that when moving a file from the hard disk to an external - the default is to make a copy rather than a move. If the movement is with the same disk (e.g. hard disk - hard disk) the Default is a Move rather than Copy.
Anyway try this: Move a file between location where you would normally have this problem while holding the Command Key (which triggers a Move rather than a Copy). I would also try quickly setting up a New User Account and see if the problem is present within this New Account. This may provide a clue as to what is happening.
Also, what browser are you using when the download problem happens?

Why does i tunes keep bouncing and not open after I have done an update

why does i tunes keep bouncing and not open after I have done an update ?

Hello, romani-jo.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try resetting your System Management Controller or SMC. Try launching iTunes after processing these steps. If the issue persists, try downloading a fresh copy of iTunes by accessing the second link below.

Why does right clinking on link and selecting open in new tab does not work?

Why does right clinking on link and selecting open in new tab does not work?
It opens up a blank page. The only way to make the link work is to click on the navigation bar in the new tab and press enter to reload the link.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.'' 
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. 
2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''
