WHY is it that you cannot fix (completely so you never have to come back to it again) how adobe flash player works with windows 8.1?

Hi,
I would like to start a discussion on how one of the "leading" software companies in the WORLD cannot provide a better way for their software (which I assume they want everyone to use) to be used in conjunction with windows 8.1.   ADOBE no longer provides support for those who don't pay to be here, they don't have a reasonably intelligent way to fix problems for non computer minded people, they want you to go through and change this setting or that (ya, I've seen the page and done the crap they tell you to do to fix the flash player so it works and... it works... for a little while then you wind up with a fkn green screen after another day or two... this is complete BS you shouldn't have to unfk things so they work every few days... you shouldn't have to deal with crap like this... I AM GOING TO USE VLC PLAYER OR SOMETHING ELSE TO TAKE CARE OF MY VIDEO PLAYER NEEDS IN MY DIFFERENT BROWSERS FROM NOW ON... YOU GUYS SUCK, YOU HAVE NO SUCH THING AS SUPPORT ANYMORE AND YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY MOVING BACK INSTEAD OF FORWARD IN THE INNOVATION DEPARTMENT!!!!)
1.  this should be simple, install the software, install an update if the software is installed and up to date it should work... don't make me fiddle with all the extra bs, your the software developer why cant' you do that????
2.  you tried to make it easier by making it so flash player is imbedded in my browser, congratulations you made it screwed up... think of it this way, now I have to get rid of your software to have something malleable I can deal with... your software doesn't work half the time, i'm sick and tired of dealing with it... i'm not going to deal with it anymore, I have changed the settings as directed on your help page and it worked.... for a freakin DAY, then I get green screens when I try to use it the very next day... so... I undo the changes I made the previous day... and redo the changes AGAIN and it works AGAIN.... FOR A FKN DAY!!!  WTFO!!!! this is complete and total bs, your idea to make things simpler made things more complicated, more labor intensive, and more of a pain in the azz for the rest of the world... SO I am going to find a way to not have to deal with ADOBE anymore!!! screw you adobe, screw your software, screw your lack of support.  you have nothing to offer me that I cannot get elsewhere with less drama, I hope your business crashes like your software... have a nice day!

One of my programs needed Flash Player and downloaded it for me!  So, Problem solved.  Thanks to all who are reading this.  I would delete it if I could.

    i download adobe flash player for my macbook pro, but nothing that requires adobe flash player works. i haven"t tried much, but only because i have no idea what to do.

    After you've installed Flash Player (you have to mount the disk image by double-clicking and the double-click the insatller package) restart your browser and go to youTube, for example, -> http://www.youtube.com/ - and see if the videos play.
    Call back if you need any further help.

  • Why won't flash player work with ios10.5.8?

    I get a message saying "Adobe Flash Player was blocked because it is out of date". Then when I go to dl update, I get a "failure to launch" message.

    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:
      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."

  • Sites that use adobe flash player work on safari but not on firefox-it keeps asking me to download adobe flash player

    Whenever I try to use a web site that needs Adobe Flash Player, Firefox asks me to download it. When I download it and try again, it still asks me to download. When I access the same web site using Safari, I have no problem. This is true for many web sites - whichever ones require Adobe Flash Player.

    Carole,
    You do not seem to have Adobe Flash (aka Shockwave Flash) installed. If you did you would see it listed under your plugins. Follow the instructions in the article below to install Flash in Firefox.
    See: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+the+Flash+plugin
    After the installation, check your version here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    or here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    Current version is: 10.1.53.64

  • Cannot install Adobe flash player. the 'get+"installer keeps saying it cannot pass the integrity test.

    have win xp, latest versions of firefox and adobe' flash player. It works on the Explorer, but firefox calls for a missing plugin. When I try to download it, keep getting the "failed integrity test" message from the "get plus downloader". I tried all recommended remedies, including reinstalling firefox - nothing works.

  • Cannot sign in to install adobe flash player

    I have a mac and I need to install adobe flash player. I cannot watch videos on my mac, I keep getting message on the screen that says "flash out of date."  I looked online and I am supposed to install adobe flash player, but I cannot sign in. I cannot figure out what "name" I am supposed to use when I get to the sign in pop up box. The pop up box says: "Install Adobe Flash Player wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." Then I have to type my "name" and "password." I have already changed my password, but I am guessing it is the "name" that is incorrect. I do not see an option where I an update the "name." I don't recall making an adobe account so I tried to create a new one, but when I used my email address (the same one I use for everything), adobe already has it on file. So I am assuming I already have an account, but I cannot figure it out or finish installing adobe flash player. I cannot sign in, please help!

  • Why is it that I cannot uninstall because the program was from an unidentified developer

    Why is it that I cannot uninstall a program because the program was from an unidentified developer?

    Might have an answer for you if I understood what you are asking.
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper 2.0.1
        2. AppDelete 3.2.6
        3. Automaton 1.50
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash 1.8.2
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
      10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1

  • Why is it that you took away emailing customer support... CHAT is never online!

    It is getting so frustrating to contact your Customer Service for anything.  Can you explain why it is that you took away the email Customer Service option and replaced it by a chat button that is ALWAYS greyed out!  It takes longer in days to simply chat with an agent never mind the hours that go by refreshing the page to even see if the button becomes available for you to use.  In this time of technical support being completed online you would think Verizon would be one of the best, however with this you are FAR from.

    Agreed.  You simply can't reach them. Why not queue us? That's what the phone does when you're put on hold. Just another roadblock so they don't have to assist us.

    Good morning.
    Apple no longer includes Flash with the new Macs.  So, if you run into things that require Flash you must, if you want to view them, go to the Adobe site and download the Flashplayer as Paul_31 suggested.
    Enjoy your day.
