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."

  • Why I cannot download Flash Player in my old Mac OS X, Version 10.4.11?

    I have an old Mac OS X Version 10.4.11 and I cannot download Flash Player.
    Can someone tell me why or how?

    Adobe Flash Player - Downloads. Locate a Flash version that will work in Tiger. Or you can try upgrading the hardware and software in order to use the current version of Flash. But that would depend on exactly what hardware you have. Only Intel hardware can be upgraded to Snow Leopard and beyond.

  • I cannot download Flash Player:  why and how?

    I can not down flash player. Why and How do I do it?

    Hi, skyskyblue2,
    I can't quite tell whether you can't find Flash Player to download or once you start downloading, problems ensue.
    Can you give us a bit more details about the problem?
    Also, here's a link the Flash Player help hub.  It has a Download Flash Player and links to answers to common problems with Flash Player.
    (I'm moving this messge to the Installing Flash Player community forum so experts can chime in.)

  • I cannot download Flash Player on any of my browsers, yet all of a sudden, it isn't there anymore.

    I tried to download Flash player on all my browsers, and it doesn't work. It gets halfway through the download, and says "newer version of Flash Player already installed". But it ISN"T.  There is no Flash Player showing on any of the programs in the control panel. I have no idea why it says there's a newer version already installed.  Can anyone help?

  • Cannot download Flash Player on Macbook Air

    Hello
    I just got a new Macbook Air. Trying to download Flash Player in order to watch youtube. I have allowed internet downloads in System Preferences. It starts downloading and stops at 50% of the download. Then it asks me to close browser windows which are already closed. It just stops here at 50%. What is wrong? I have checked help on both Adobe and Apple. I have followed instructions accurately. Would appreciate any help on this. Thanks.

    Try this alternative:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
    It includes the actual installer (so it's a lot larger) whereas the other installer downloads the install data once it starts running, which may be where your problem lies.

  • Cannot download flash player can you assist?

    I have been trying unsuccessfully for quite a time to download flash player but the system does not finish and it seems to go to download then stops how can I get this to download correctly?

    I'm having the same problem. I'm using Norton antivirus, so it's not caused by those vendors listed. I have Scripting Enabled in my IE options and my Information bar is turned on. I have no problem downloading other files, just the Flash update.
    I'm about to try removing flash and reinstalling it - again, as that was the solution for the last update.
    Rather annoying.

  • Cannot Download Flash Player 9

    I have a MAC OS 10.3.9 1.6GHz Power PC G 5 and cannot download the Flash Player 9. I get an error message that reads:
    The page “Macromedia - Flash Player” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available on this page:
    https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer
    Do you want to open the page?
    Each time I go to that web page I and try to download it will not work. My kids use Nick Jr and no longer can get on. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you for your time and help.
    gg

    I'm not sure why you posted your question in the OS 9 Forum instead of the OS 10.3 (Panther) forum, but FlashPlayer 9 for OS X is available at this site.
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    OS 9 can't use anything later than FlashPlayer 7 (version 7.0.r70).

  • Windows 7: Cannot uninstall, cannot download Flash Player

    Windows 7 64 bit using IE8 32 bit.
    Problem 1: Using You tube from user account: says I do not have FP installed, click here to install. This fails, so I go to the administrator account and try from there.
    Problem 2: Uninstalling
    I’m having problems downloading and installing AFP. I start here  and it shows that “You have version 10,0,42,34 installed.” http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_cpsid_83713_en-us
    I go to Flash Player Uninstaller : http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_tn_14157_en-us  
    I run uninstall , reboot but first site shows that “You have version 10,0,42,34 installed.”
    If I go to this page it shows no version! http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_tn_15507_en-us
    Problem 3: downloading
    If I go to Flash support on 64 bit operating systems (http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_6b3af6c9_en-us) I get in a never ending loop because when I click on “Using this 32-bit Internet Explorer, download and install the latest, most secure version of Flash Player (Flash Player Download Center).”  It takes me back to the same page so I cannot download.

    I have followed this and I now have Flash Player installed.
    However when I go to
    http://www.flixxy.com/revolving-house-architecture.htm from a user account I get this message:
    “Click here to install the following ActiveX control: ‘Adobe Flash Player’ from ‘Adobe Systems Incorporated’...
    If I go to the same site from an administrator account I do not get this message.
    I rebooted and logged in as a user and got the same message. I clicked on "Click here", entered the admin password and shut down IE and got this message:(I am not aware that I have anything open which may be causing the problem.)(But why should I need to install FP when it is already installed?)
