Why doesn't my flash player work?

I installed the Flash Player from Adobe, the message said it was successful. When it went to the Adobe page, it went black. I checked the control panel and it showed it as installed. When I tried it on Jib Jab, I could not see the video. It works on Google Chrome but not on Internet Explorer. I upgraded to IE 10 and that did not help either. I checked Norton and shut off the Antivirus, then did the Adobe debugging, and tried several times. Nothing seems to work. It seems like it installs but does not initiate.

Did you copy and paste that from your response in '08? Or maybe it was '07?
I wonder if I could apply this to other technologies...
Radio after tv invention:
The drop in Radio only programs, and increase in TV shows in such a short period of time has been staggering. As other programs move on without Radio, since it's signal band is no longer being updated, it will become something akin to the telegraph...if it hasn't already.
Boats after car invention:
The drop in Boat only shipping, and increase in shipping methods that are vehicle friendly in such a short period of time has been staggering. As other companies move on without boats, since they are no longer building new channels, it will become something akin to the horse and buggy...if it hasn't already.
etc etc...
See you in 6 more years.

Why doesn't Adobe Flash Player 11 work with Firefox 7

Firefox 7.0.1 does not recognize that Adobe Flash 11 is installed. it works with Safari, not Firefox

Matt,
You have to run Firefox in 32-bit mode in order for it to run Adobe Flash Player 11 on Firefox 7.0.1 on Snow Leopard.
Mac: Get Info (Command+I) on Firefox icon and click box run in 32-bit mode. I think its shoddy Mozzilla support and really lame that they didn't post this.

Why doesn't Adobe Flash Player show videos in one profile, but works kay in another?

Have two users in Windows Vista SP2 - one is set as administrator one as just a user. When logged in as Administrator- PW protected (or-if I open FF 9 to run as administrator ) [Flash Player 11.1.102.55 installed ] videos work fine. When logged in as Standard Uuser, videos do not play.
2 sites in particular are:
http://animal.discovery.com/videos/puppy-bowl-viii-highlights/
http://online.wsj.com/home-page
However, sites such as YouTube eg. and http://www.cbs.com/shows/the_young_and_the_restless/video/$?play=true&pid=PWVXLODc2ZkjG56Q4UQX5yvBZ4VcDz7x
work fine in both situations.
Is this a site problem, setup problem, or user profie difference problem?

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Why doesn't the flash player from adobe work on chrome?

When i watch videos on youtube, the speakers would hear statics and it would crackle. I thought it was my macbook air, but researching it, people said it was because of chrome's installed in flash player. I disabled chrome's adobe flash player and instead downloaded straight from adobe website. however, it doesn't let me watch videos, saying i needed to download the flash player. When i use safari and watch video on youtube, it's perfectly fine; however, i do not like to safari and would much prefer google chrome. Any suggestions. help?

Windows 7 - 32-bit or 64-bit?
Make sure you use the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer when you try to use Flash Player, or checking the Shockwave Flash add-on.
What files do you have in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash (32-bit Windows), or C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash (64-bit Windows) ?

Seems to me, you have not attached any receiver to the sequencer's transmitter. How a sequencer will generate a sound, it is required to be attaced to a Synthesizer. Try do something like following in your starting code:
try {
sequencer = MidiSystem.getSequencer();
sequencer.open();
sequencer.addMetaEventListener(this);
// similarly you have to obtain a synthesizer
synthesizer = MidiSystem.getSynthesizer();
synthesizer.open();
// now wire a synthesizer to a sequencer
sequencer.getTransmitter().setReceiver(synthesizer.getReceiver());
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();

Flash player works on youtube but not yahoo homepage

Flash player works on youtube but when trying to watch video on yahoo homepage says need to download adobe flash player I have already uninstalled several times but still won't work please help

YouTube uses javascript to determine if Flash Player is installed and switches to HTML5 (MP4), which requires no plugin, if Flash Player isn't detected. Yahoo doesn't do that yet. Here's why this is important, especially if you're using IE11.
The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. 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. 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.
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.

Flash player works on https web sites but not on http web sites ?

Flash player works on https web sites but not on http web sites ?
I've tryed a lot of things to solve this problem but impossible to find the solution.
- re-instal flash player
- disable the firewall (windows)
- disable the firewall and the antivirus (bitdefender)
I test my computer on an other internet provider and everything works correctly
I test an other computer on my internet connection and everything works correctly.
The problem comes from my computer on my internet connection.
I'll appreciate a solution.
Thank you.

This is what you should see under "plugins" in Opera:
Make sure Flash Player is listed and enabled.
It comes from the same place as the plug-in for Firefox, so one won't work if the other doesn't.
If that doesn't work, try a clean install. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4041846

Why we cannot download flash player

WHy we cannot download flash player..""

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.
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.
Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
Puffin
SkyFire
Photon Flash
Browse2Go
iSwifter
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."

Facebook doesn't recognize flash player

I'm have the most recent flash player and Internet Explorer, running Win 8.1. When I try to upload photos on Facebook I'm shown a prompt that says I don't have flash. I click the link, am taken to adobe where I'm told that I do have flash but am not running IE in Win 8. I've gone through the whole checklist of enabling shockwave (it was never disabled) and turing off active x filters (also already in that condition) and can't seem to get Facebook to accept that I've done everything it says that it needs me to do.
I've installed firefox to see if that would work, it gave me the same "need flash" prompt so I uninstalled and reinstalled the newest flash player. Now firefox allows me to batch upload photos but IE still thinks I don't have flash and adobe.com still thinks that I'm not running IE.
Is there anything I can do to make your product work in internet explorer?

It's NOT that Facebook doesn't rrecognize Flash Player. It doesn't recognize IE11, and if it can't recognize the browser, it won't recognize the plugins in the browser. Microsoft is aware of the problems with their new browser, but... they're in no hurry to fix it.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using a different browser. Trouble with that is... it's 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.

Why Doesn't the XIRR function work?

In Excel if you have 5 records from a1:b5 then XIRR looks like this:
XIRR(A1:A5, B1:B5) you get a nice neat answer like .35
Here is a version that works in Crystal that would require manual entry of any new quarters numbers and dates-- and if you plug this into Crystal it works:
(XIRR([1000000,-100000,-100000,-100000,-100000,10277.49,-100000], [DateValue(1999,2,1),DateValue(1999,3,1),DateValue(1999,6,1), DateValue(1999,12,1),DateValue(2000,3,1),DateValue(2000,6,1),DateValue(2000,9,1)]))*.100
You do get a nice answer of something like .035. But this is all done manually and I need it to function automatically when the report is refreshed.
So you have a range for the currency and a range for the date fields. I need to simulate this in crystal. Crystal has an XIRR function, and with the arrays, I should be able to fill in the range, but am having difficulty getting it to work.
After building the arrays, I made another formula to combine the arrays in the XIRR formula.
I am down to this error now after getting this formula this far --
"Numerical method did not converge; try another value for guess."
Here's where I am with the formula, although they don't want to use the guess part of the XIRR function - they just want to use the XIRR(number/currency, date). Maybe you could pass this on too?:
/{@Reset} for the group header (NOT using a repeated group header):
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar array x := 0;
datevar array y := date(0,0,0);
numbervar i := 0;
numbervar j := 0;
//{@accum} for the detail section:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar array x;
datevar array y;
numbervar i := i + 1;
numbervar j := count({table.groupfield},{table.groupfield});
if i <= j then (
redim preserve x[j];
redim preserve y[j];
x := tonumber({table.currency});
y := datevalue({table.datetime})
//{@xirr calc} to be placed in the group footer:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar array x;
datevar array y;
xirr(x,y)
The array works correctly. So why do I get that error and why doesn't the XIRR formula work like they say it should? Has anyone used this successfully in Crystal--maybe you could shed some light?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am receiving that same error when the last item in the array is 0, otherwise all works perfectly.
When I run the same group of numbers and dates in Excel it returns without issue.
-265500.00,-690000.00,-570000.00,16814.25,-855000.00,-619500.00,55293.46,30411.40,15183.76, 0.00
01-25-2007,03-06-2007,05-02-2007,06-29-2007,08-01-2007,08-24-2007,09-17-2007,03-14-2008,05-28-2008,03-31-2010
=XIRR(A2:J2,A1:J1,-0.1)
Is there a known bug in Crystal's XIRR function when the last value is 0?
Or a hot-fix that will repair this?
Thanks in advance,
Gary
PS. I am using Crystal XI Product Version: 11.0.0.2495
