Why is my Flash player not being recognized by some programs?

Please advise.

Flash Player Not Being Recognized on Downloaded Game

In case anyone didn't see the previous post..I am getting a similar error on a game I downloaded from Shockwave.com. I have used it for 2 months now with no problem. Now I get the error message that tells me to upgrade to Flash version 8. However, I am currently running version 10. Apparently, the game does not recognize this. Shockwave's response was to "uninstall and reinstall Flash". I have done this twice now with no results-same error message. I am running Windows 7 with Firefox browser. Can anyone help please?

I am having the same problem, on a Mac running Safari on Leopard since installing version 10.

Why is adobe flash player not supported?

Why is adobe flash player not supported?

Because.
Apple and Adobe could never come up with an OS that liked flash and a version of flash that worked on the OS. So never the twain will meet. and now Adobe is abandoning mobile flash in favor of other things, so it's become a moot point.
With the surge in the number of mobile devices and the fact that a lot of them don't use flash, site creators will need to take mobile devices into account when they create their sites and assess their accessibility.

Why will adobe flash player not work on my mac?

Hi, I just got my mac back from the apple store and sadly I lost all my data so its a 'new mac' and i had to set it up from scratch etc.
I am unable to watch videos on youtube and other sites that need Java or Adobe flash player EVEN THOUGH I have downloaded and uninstalled several times and each time it doesnt work. Ive checked in safari prefferences that 'enable java-script' and 'enable plug-ins' is on but it still will not work!
Ive been on system prefferences and checked the java and adobe application prefferences to see if i can add the websites oor something but it will not work.
my mac is deffinetly up to date to the latest version, i have checked several times and i have made sure that it is the correct adobe flash player most recently updated etc, but it will still not work! ive been researching for a couple of days now and cant find anything that works.

Why isn't flash player not working?

have macbook pro, downloaded flash player 12.0.0.4 ??, it won't play. In one suggestion, was told to check system preferences>
go to advanced>check version. Checked and showed have latest but it keeps telling that i don't have latest. Size is 17.5MB downloaded was 961KB
what does that mean? Am i doing something wrong? I appreciate it if anybody can help. Thank you

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. In rare cases, you might have to log out or reboot to force a Flash update to be recognized. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 6.
Step 1
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, sign in to your YouTube account and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 2
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
Step 3
Take this step only if you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, and Step 2 doesn't resolve it.
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select from the menu bar
 ▹ Software Update...
The App Store window will open. You may see a "Checking for updates" legend at the top of the window. Wait for it to disappear. You don't have to install any updates, just check. You can then close the window.
If you're running an older version of OS X, ask for instructions.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 6
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 7
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
Step 8
In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

USB flash drive not being recognized as a startup disk?

Hi everyone, I've been searching for similar questions but haven't found one that exactly matches my experience. So, I'm going to try and explain my issue in hopes that others may be able to help.
I'm trying to create a bootable flash drive from which I can install lion, and eventually Mountain Lion when it is released onto my main hard drive. My main reason for doing this is to have a way that I can perform a clean install of the operating system. Yes, I know I am old fashioned, but sometimes I prefer clean operating system installs rather than upgrading. In any case, I have downloaded the lion setup file from the Mac app store (Install Mac OS X Lion.app) and am following the directions given on this page to do this procedure. These directions are consistent with directions found on various other sources online. Having this file saved to my hard drive, I was able to find and extract the disk image file from the package InstallESD.dmg to another folder. Once extracted, I plugged in my flash drive and attempted to use disk utility to restore the disk image to my flash drive. I selected the dmg file as my source and the flash drive as the destination. I then clicked restore and was warned that all data on the flash drive would be erased while the disk image was restored to my flash drive. I was prepared for this, so I allowed the process to continue, and it appeared to proceed with no problem. When disk utility was finished, I did a quick look at my flash drive using finder and confirmed that it did in fact appear to contain a disk image of the .dmg file. Here's where things get interesting however.
When I go to system preferences and choose startup disk, my flash drive is not listed as an optional disk from which to boot, only my hard drive ("macintosh HD"). When I restart and hold down the option key, my flash drive is not listed as a startup disk either. I know that the non-intel based macs are not capable of booting from USB, but this is certainly not my issue as I have an intel macbook pro, mid 2009 model. My flash drive is about 4 or 5 years old; it is a PNY Technologies Attaché 16 gb flash drive. I have no trouble viewing and transferring files to and from the flash drive, the only issue is that my computer seems to refuse to recognize it as a startup disk. Are there certain flash drives which do not support booting? This would normally seem more like a computer issue rather than a flash drive issue, but most people seem to have no problem doing what I'm trying to do. Unfortunately I do not have another flash drive with which to test this, and I didn't really feel like buying another flash drive just to test this out if in fact this is not a flash drive issue. I am planning to upgrade to the macbook pro retina soon which of course does not have an optical drive, which is one of the reasons I would like to get this working. Can anyone think of something else I can try? Is it more likely an issue with the macbook pro or the flash drive?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

The format says Mac OS Extended. All of the settings were set during the disk image restore process. Even if I format the flash drive as extended journaled or some other format, all of these settings are reverted when I do the restore from the disk image. I will just copy all of the information that disk utility has so that you can see it.
Mount Point : /Volumes/Mac OS X Install ESD Capacity : 16.11 GB (16,106,110,976 Bytes) Format : Mac OS Extended Available : 12.3 GB (12,303,499,264 Bytes) Owners Enabled : Yes Used : 3.8 GB (3,802,611,712 Bytes) Number of Folders : 128 Number of Files : 876

Flash drive not being recognized

My 128 Patriot Flash drive is not seen as potential scratch disk by CS5. I reformatted it as exFAT and then as NTFS but still not seen by CS5.
Thanks, CMA

Check your device manager. I'm sure it's listed as a removable drive and PS only uses fixed drives for swap. If the device offers a special system driver, install it and it may be assigned as a fixed drive, if not, then there's jsut no way to coax PS into using it.
