You Tube wont play now that Flash player has been updated

Hi guys
I'm new to Mac and not a rocket scientist so I'll try to explain my problem and hopefully someone can help
I bought this new Mac Book Pro in Glasgow about three months ago, I remember at first that youtube wouldn't play so I called the Apple care centre who gave me a very simple fix which I can't remember
Last week I got an alert from Adobe Flash Player to download a new version which I did, unfortunately my youtube has stopped working (a message appears in the centre of the intended video saying that I have to download flash player etc)
Called the tech guys again and they did the usual uninstall and re install etc on both Adobe and Java all to no avail.  They told me it was an Adobe issue and that I should call them, when I called Adobe, guess what? they said it was an apple issue !!  Back to the beginning
Can anyone give me a hint as to how this can be resolved pleased as I'm at the end of the road in terms of ideas.  Please for my benefit could you keep it as simple as possible
Appreciate your help
Thanks
Bill

    flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser?  It is already installed, I just don't use it.  I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it?  If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

  • Is there any way to know that the UI has been updated due to a bind change?

    Hi
    For the given code snippet
    var c=Circle{
      centerX:10  
      centerY:10
      fill:Color.YELLOW
      onMouseClicked:function(event){
          c.fill=Color.RED;
    printNodeAsImage(filename) //to a file
    }

    Oops..Got posted before I could finish the query
    Hi
    For the given code snippet
    var c=Circle{
      centerX:10  
      centerY:10
      fill:Color.YELLOW
      onMouseClicked:function(event){
          c.fill=Color.RED;
          printNodeAsImage(c, filename) //to a file
    }Let us assume that printNodeAsImage(c,filename) saves the circle node with the current color to a file. See http://rakeshmenonp.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/javafx-1-3-save-as-image/ for a implementation of this function
    What we notice instead is that printNodeAsImage(c, filename) actually saves the node with the color YELLOW instead of RED. Is there any way to know deterministically when the UI has been updated due to a variable value change (or because of binding). (In this case the transition from Yellow to Red) So that we can perform other operations on the UI state - like saving it to a file

  • Adobe Flash Player has been crashing for months. Can you please correct associated problems?

    The following is the message after the successful download from within Microsoft Internet Explorer and Installation of Adobe Flash Player on 8/17/2011 (today): You are now running Adobe Flash Player 10.3.183.5
    And the following version of Adobe Shockwave Flash Player was downloaded and installed as a plug-in for Mozilla Firefox on 8/15/2011: Shockwave Flash 10.3.183.5
    The following link was not working, and in fact access deteriorated since installing the latest Firefox plug-in for Adobe Shockwave Flash Player.
    http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/interchart/interchart.asp?symb=DJIA&time=20
    For example it stopped supplying daily data for longer Timelines. Then yesterday the panel on the left side of the webpage appeared garbled. I had been continually getting crashes of the Flash Player for months but never got any notice that I was not up to date.

    And the following version of Adobe Flash Player was downloaded and installed as a plug-in for Mozilla Firefox on 8/15/2011: Shockwave Flash 10.3.183.5 This did not result in the end of continuing crashes of the plug-in. I find it strange that months of agreeing to send these crash reports did not result in any notifications of updates to Firefox.
    Confusion has been introduced because of the similar names for the same application. Microsoft Internet Explorer’s notification states that Adobe Flash Player is not up to date and requests download and installation of the same version that had already been installed within Mozilla Firefox, which refers to this application as Shockwave Flash (of the same version). PLEASE SEE IF USERS CAN BE PROVIDED WITH SOME DISCUSSION OF THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THESE APPLICATIONS.
    What appears currently as fixes on the Firefox website for this application does not fix the problem, but so far it seems that the download from Internet Explorer of Adobe Flash Player (today) fixes the problem of the plug-in. This fix was NOT mentioned within the Mozilla Firefox website. Please note that at this point I do not have enough experience using the “fix” to know if I will not continue to have other problems with this plug-in.
    I'm running Windows XP (latest SP and updates) and cannot use Internet Explorer beyond Version 8, since the later versions are apparently only for later MS OSs. Updating to a later OS with older hardware I do not believe is advisable.

  • Commercial playing in the background of computer ever since flash player has been downloaded

    Ever since I've downloaded the flash player there are commercials playing in the background.  And this starts as soon as I power up my computer.  I've tried every way to try and stop it, but havent been able to.

    That sounds more like you are infected with some malware.

  • Adobe Flash Player has been disabled and downloading an updated version says that it won't download until Mozilla is closed and I don't know what that means.

    Adobe Flash Player won't operate when I am using Mozilla. The window says that it is disabled. I have tried enabling it, but it doesn't do anything. When I try to download the latest version of AFP, it says that it will download when Mozilla Firefox is closed. I have closed Mozilla, I have turned the computer off and nothing that I have tried has activated AFP.

    I had been getting those notices for months, I finally broke down and hit the button to automatically upgrade. I was flooded with offers of new services from $10. to $49. per month - and my audio/video for Facebook, NYT and NPR are "blocked" with the advice to "upgrade " my Adobe Flash Player - for which there does not seem to be any customer support. My advice is to skip the "upgrading" if your computer works;I do not know what to do now . .  .

  • Now that bridge support has been pulled, where are the updated docs for valid MXI tokens?

    Since CS6 Bridge support has been inexplicably pulled from Extension Manager. So I need to find a way to install Bridge scripts. I'm after current documentation on the MXI format. Can someone point me to it? Thanks!
    ...Mike

    You can find all the tokens and their corresponding directory on Windows and Mac from http://help.adobe.com/en_US/extensionmanager/cs/using/MXI_tech_note.pdf. Also the FAQ link in the Extension Manager user forum page (http://forums.adobe.com/community/creativesuites/extensionmanager/faq) describes how to install extensions for Bridge CS6 manually.
    Another way is to copy configuration sub-directory from Bridge CS5/5.5 to Bridge CS6, and modify all the version-related values in XManConfig.xml accordingly. Then launch Extension Manager CS6. Bridge CS6 will be listed in Extension Manager CS6. You can install extensions for Bridge as usual. But we don't give you any guarantee for it.

  • What will you use now that SiteCatalyst NetAverages has been discontinued?

    I liked it - why was it discontined and what else do you use?
    Google Analytics is all I have to fall back on for now.

    I had SiteCatalyst Netaverages as a free subscription ending a few days ago. I didn't realize it was cancelled for everyone though. I liked it a lot.
    There's a monthly, or maybe quarterly survey that Adobe produces about browser share directly (I think), and of course Google and Microsoft track it, though nothing is as good as SiteCataliyst, as far as being impartial (and free). I will miss it.

  • How can I retreive my photos now that photoalbum starter has been discontinued?

    I tried to register but was told that adobe no longer supported this product. I tried unlocking with the code 79f38d43 but the unlock screen only gives me the option to exit without unlocking. When I downloaded the photos off my camera the program deleted them from the camera so now these locked images are the only copies. Can anyone help?

    Hi,
    It is likely that your photos are somewhere on your hard drive.  This was a really good product that I wish they still supported. I'm guessing you are on Windows so I'll give you the way to find them for Windows.  If it's Mac, it's slightly different but the same idea it's just different selections to do the search. I also don't know how sophisticated of a user you are, but I'm judging you aren't really technical, so if I'm too detailed in my instructions here, please forgive me I just want to be sure you find them.  It's a very anxious situation when you think you've lost your pictures. Experienced and technical users have their own ways to do these things that are quicker and easier and I know that.  But I'm absolutely sure this way will work so you may know of another way to do any part of this.  But I'm writing these instructions in such a way that there is no ambiguity or uncertainty for different Windows configurations, personalizations, or setups.  I'm almost certain these steps will ALWAYS work.  I'm also assuming that Photoshop album isn't working for you anymore and that windows is the only way you can see them.
    The Basic idea is that you need to search your hard drive for the photos using the time they were created.  First, I'll tell you how to get to the place where you can search, then I'll give you some ideas of what criteria you should search with from very specific to more general. Luckily Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition imports them to the hard drive and stores them just like any other Windows file.  The tags, collections, and timeline and all that stuff is within the program, but unless you tell the program to delete the file specifically, it's probably still there.
    To Search the whole computer in Windows:
    Left-click the Start button
    Right-click My Computer to get a little menu
    Left-click the Search option from the menu
    This will give you a dialog box or window that says Search Results at the top.  The choices you make here will determine how many results you will have to sort through to find what you want.
    The Simple way (if they are typical picture files) LOTS OF RESULTS
    Left-click Pictures, music, or video
    Left-click the box next to Pictures and Photos
    Left-click the grey box that says Search
    This will then search your entire computer and all the hard drives, memory cards, cameras attached to it for anything that looks like a picture and put the results on right hand side of the Search Results box.  It will look in My Pictures first then go on to the rest of the hard drive then everything else and it will skip the obvious places like the "system" and "hidden" areas for your pictures.  So, the good thing is that if it is in My Pictures, which is likely, your pictures will be at the top of the list.  You don't have to wait till its' done, you can look while it's searching and if you find the pictures, click the grey button that says Stop (same button that used to say Search).  Then you can do what you want with the pictures
    On my computer, it gives me thumbnails of each picture it finds, but yours may give you a list.  If it is a list, and you want thumbnails, click the View choice at the top of the Search Results, Thumbnails window to get thumbnail pictures.  You can scroll through the list and look at all the thumbnails for your picture.  WARNING: IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF PICTURES THIS CAN TAKE A VERY LONG TIME (HOURS IS POSSIBLE) TO MAKE ALL THE THUMBNAILS
    If it's a list, you might be able to tell by the Date Modified or Date Created if one of these things is what you are looking for.  If you see one you  then you should open it up and look at it to see if it's what you want.  If you have always used Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition to do that and need help with that you can write another message here asking for help.
    If you don't find it this way, it may be identified as something other than what Windows calls a picture.  If that's the case, close the Search Results window, repeat the To Search the whole computer in Windows, steps above, but then
    A TIME-SPECIFIC WAY
    Left-click All files and folders
    Left-click When was it modified and specify when the pictures were taken and/or when you put them on the computer.  Don't choose I don't remember. Make a guess to narrow down the list you will get. Try the date you think you put them on the computer first.  If you don't find something you recognize, try the date you took the picture.
    Left-click the grey box that says Search
    If you still can't find it, repost and I or someone else will try and help you, but you should find them this way.
    Good Luck
    PS I ask anyone who reads this and thinks that this is the "long" way to do it to just refrain from criticizing my instructions.  This isn't the way I would do it either, but I don't think leilah is all that technical so I'm trying to make it foolproof versus quick

  • I evidently need to install Flash, but having done so, it behaves still as if I didn't.  I have the new i7 iMac (and I see from some other forums that Flash installation has been a problem for some time.

    I evidently need to install Flash, according to everything animated I've tried to view, but efforts to do so have been unsuccessful (or it's installed but not in the right place? )  I see from forums I've visited that this is an ongoing issue with iMacs--I'm surprised since it's a download on Apple that it just doesn't come with the setup...and why is it so troublesome to do?  (Weird for something so basic these days not to come with the newest, fastest, etc. iMac i7...)

    If you are hang issues you can try calling AppleCare, you have 90 days of free telephone support. If they can't figure out the solution you need to contact Adobe, it's their product. Apple has announced they are moving towards HTML5 and away from Flash because it's so antiquated. It is also no-longer pre-installed on OS X so you need to download as you have found out.
    You can try some basic resets to see if you can get it to work. I'd first recommend restarting in Safe Mode to clear some caches. If that doesn't work reset both the SMC and PRAM to see if that helps.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • My ipod will not sync now that windows 8 has been installed, but ipod worked fine before

    I am running a Ipod Nano think it's 3rd or 4th generation, when I had windows seven the ipod would be syncing fine with my iTunes, not that windows has updated windows to windows eight, I am now experiencing problems with my ipod syncing to my iTunes. It recognises the ipod but will not allow me to access it or change the music on it. I have followed all the More Info steps from the box that appears on my iTunes, I now am at a loss as to how it will ever work again, so I am stuck with the music on my ipod until I can change it. How do I go about getting my ipod back to syncing with iTunes after my windows update?

  • Hi, my phone was stolen a few days ago and I was waiting for it to come online to track the last known location where it was turned on. Now that my phone has been locked but i cant seem to find the last location it was online. I need the last location

    Hi, my phone was stolen a few days ago and just a few days ago the phone was online and it automatically locked itself since I've put it under lost mode and the thief probably switched off the phone immediately so that I cant locate it. Is it possible for me to have the last known location where he/she turned on the phone so that I can track it down from the last location? Thank you

    Correct.
    The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
    If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
    If locked with a passcode, and running iOS 7.0, then phone cannot be activated or the passcode removed without knowing your Apple iD/Password. It will be nothing but a useless paperweight.
    If not running iOS 7.0, the phone can be forced into recovery mode & restored.

  • Problem opening Acrobat 8.1 Standard in IE Browser Now that Reader X Has Been Installed

    I have Adobe Standard 8.1 and up until this weekend also had Reader 8 (I believe).  This weekend my Reader was upgraded to Reader X.  I can no longer successfully open a PDF in my IE browser through Standard (no problems prior to Reader X installed)  Reader is ok in the browser but I have some applications that require Standard in the browser.  When I try to do this, the PDF opens in a separate Adobe window.  How can I adjust the settings to allow Standard to open in IE?  Thank you

    Problem solved. Does only happen with the Internet Explorer 32bit.
    With Internet Explorer 64bit it doesn't happen.

  • HT2905 Any ideas on how to catch duplicates now that the option has been removed from the file dropdown?

    So the new iTunes update removed the "Find Exact Duplicates" function.  What's replaced it?

    If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
    This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
    If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go
