Youtube and Flash player issues ???

i have currently been presented with the issue of youtube not working on certain types of machines, on our dell optiplex 755 machines, youtube will not work properly, i have narrowed the problem down to Adobe flash. everytime i tried to play a youtube video it would usually just give me a black screen with an error message, after i tried a couple solutions i thought i had fixed it, i can now play some youtube videos and not all, for example i can play 5 in a row and after that, not many videos will work.
the machines are running windows 7, have adobe 11.9, Internet Explorer 9 and the graphics drivers have been updated.
does anyone have any solutions??

jkeano18, you say you use Windows 7. do you have Windows 7 SP1 (service pack 1) installed? if not, you need to install SP1 for Windows 7.
since you use a Dell Optiplex 755 machine, what kind of CPU does it have and how much RAM is installed? you can get this info by opening the System properties page of Windows 7. you may need to install a faster CPU chip, add more RAM or do both. Specs on the Optiplex 755 PC are posted on this Dell site.
as for graphics, what kind? Intel or AMD? some Optiplex 755 computers come with Intel graphics and other Optiplex 755 machines come with AMD graphics. Run the DirectX Diagnostic tool (dxdiag.exe) and click on the Display tab to get the graphics info.
If the graphics is Intel, I recommend the latest Intel graphics drivers from Intel site rather from the Dell site. If the graphics is AMD, download the latest AMD drivers from the AMD site.

Issue with Youtube and Flash Player, videos don't play after a while

When I go to Youtube I can watch videos, but after I've player 5 or 6, when I select the next one, I get a snowy screen with a message "The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback. Get the latest Flash Player". Issues is I already have the latest Flash Player, and it was playing fine just a minute ago. But from then on I cannot play more videos until I restart the computer. I'm tired of reinstalling Flash every day.
Win 7 64 bits, IE 9 and Firefox (happens with both)
Flash Player 11.7.700.202
Apparently the browser at first recognizes that Flash is installed, but then it doesn't find it anymore. Not sure how that happens.

strangest thing... a few 'non-youtube' sites still work ok, but still complain 'no javascript' ..
so went to firefox (v17.0.4 ESR) 'tools, options, content' and yup, javascript UNTICKED!! :O :O my bad memory? something else??? {shrugs}
ticked it, now ok........ think im getting old?????? ROFL..

Vista and Flash Player issues - no embedded video

Ok,
I've been wrestling with this for a week now. I upgraded from XP to Vista Home Premium 32-bit. After the upgrade, I cannot view embedded videos on any website(except Microsoft's cuz they use Silverlight).
I CAN, however, see videos on YouTube *IF* I change the URL to their Secure site. (HTTPS). I found this workaround in a post. This tells me that Flash Player is working, but somewhere in the Vista install, Vista is blocking non-secure websites from loading/playing embedded videos. I have used Yahoo's news pages as my test, but have had issues with embedded videos on FaceBook, and other websites that regularly post embedded vids, like the TV network sites, etc. I have gone through as many "fixes" as I could find posts on the Web, and none have fixed my problem. I tried downloading and installing Flash Player on Chrome and Firefox, and those didn't work either, so I know that A.) the problem is not the browser, B.) that the problem is not the codecs, as vids run on Youtube's Secure website. That leaves the OS as the culprit. I have gone through the Control Panel, and tried everwhere there that I could find a remote link to Internet security, to no avail. No one at Microsoft is interested in helping me; they just tell me to buy Windows 7. Are there any Vista gurus out there that may be able to help?

Could you try running through the steps outlined in this FAQ? In particular, make sure you delete the two folders specified within the %appdata% directory.
How do I do a clean install of Flash Player?

HTC One Stock Browser - address bar and Flash player issues

Couple of issues here -- please let me know if I'm missing something obvious. First of all, since the HTC One only has the Home and Back buttons, I count on the application to know when to open a Settings screen or even an address bar. Point that browser at YoutTube or Google+ and tell me how you get back to the address bar. I've found that hitting Back may bring up the address bar, but you'd better be quick about it.
Second, the Flash player doesn't seem to work with some sites. I can play a YouTube video with the stock browser, but it won't play an NPR sound clip. Thoughts? Ideas? What obvious thing am I missing?

First, Flash Player isn't supported anymore. If you have it installed through sideloading, it isn't guaranteed to work all the time.
As for the stock browser, have you tried scrolling to the top of the website to get the address bar to show. I don't have any other ideas since I purposely disabled the stock browser and use Chrome instead. Perhaps you should consider the same.

10.9.4 adobe cloud and flash player issue

Ok i updated to OS 10.9.4 on july the 16th,
first website i visited said i needed to update adobe flash player which i tried to do and it failed
so i followed adobes instructions to do a clean install. The only problem was it would not install the current or any other version
leaving me without a flashplayer.
Next i have adobe cloud installed with all the apps this week i noticed they needed updated so i went to update all the apps i have installed guess what,
they will not install since the 10.9.4 update as well, so i tried to install a new app same problem as the flash installer it will not install.
i have been to adobes forums none of there fixes work and all this happened from the 10.9.4 update which is really frustrating as i use this mac
for web design, needing flash player and adobe apps to install and work.
any help would be appriciated

IE9 and Flash Player issues..

I have already tested my player and it is techincally working however instead of being in the correct place on the page - every site I go to with flash - the images end up in the top left corner displaying incorrectly.
Does anyone have any idea how to remedy this?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi, One of the users here and others suggest this:
I don’t know if somebody has suggested this or not but what I did to make Flash 10.3 work on my IE9 (32 bit on a 64bit Windows 7) was to click on the gear icon, then click on “internet options”, then “advanced”, then finally check “use software rendering instead of GPU rendering” finally you must close IE9 for the settings to work.
See if that helps. If not, when you reploy back, furnish your operating system and other browsers/versions you may use.
Thanks,
eidnolb

Re: Vista and Flash Player Issues - no Embedded video

Hi Carl,
After re-boot, still the same problems. I DID find it interesting that in the previously mentioned link to Yahoo's website, that the video file was an HTML file. Am I missing something here? Shouldn't it have been a video format file, or was the right-click just giving me the page link and not the vid file name?

Ah - from the 'Re:' in the subject line I assume that you replied to the email notification. But for some reason it was not merged into the original topic.
I will notify the forum administrator to see if he can find out why this is not happening.
Hopefully Carl will see your replies, and remember the original conversation.

Hello my MacBook is crashing when I watch Youtube videos. Safari and Flash Player are updated.

Hello,
My MacBook is crashing when I watch Youtube videos. Safari and Flash Player are updated.
What is the problem?
It will be necessary to take him on a technical assistance?
thank you

Have you tried an alternate browser to see if the same issue happens? Try Firefox or Chrome. Chrome has Flash embedded in it, so if it doesn't work, it's probably not a Flash issue. FIrefox is at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and Chrome is at https://www.google.com/chrome .
Another thing to try is to sign up for HTML5 video from Youtube. See http://www.youtube.com/html5

I tried playing a you tube video, but received a message prompt to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. The link to Adobe stated that there are issues with MAC OS X 10.7 and Flash Player 10.3. The new version did not download. Any Suggestion

I like to play games on facebook and for some reason I keep getting an error message saying that the shockwave player and flash player has crashed I use firefox could someone please give me step by step instructions to fix this issue?

I have Windows 8.1, my adobe player is the most updated version also.... hope this helps

Yeah, Firefox and Flash Player isn't a super stable combination on Windows 8.1 at the moment. We're collaborating closely with Mozilla to improve that, but that effort is going to happen over several months.
In the meantime, you might want to take a look at the other options. Microsoft invested a lot of time and effort into making the Flash experience on Win8.1 really good in IE, as did Google with Chrome.

Is there a solution or work around for flash player issues?

Is there a solution, app or work around for flash player issues w/ iPad 2? Maybe even something in development?

Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so you could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app). But flash itself is unlikely to ever be supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ , and Adobe have failed to create a version of flash that works on iOS
There is a search box on the right-hand side of this page for further info.

Flash Player Issue with Windows 8.1 Professional

Hi guys,
I'm currently having issues with Flash Player on Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 8.1. It seems that the Flash Player has been disabled when I access http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html.
However, when I logged off the my domain account and use my local account, I'm able to test Flash Player.
Therefore, the only thing I can think of is the Group Policy that is blocking the Flash Player as I've resetted IE settings on my domain account.
Hopefully you guys are able to solve this mystery.
Thanks!!

Go to control panel and go to program and features and uninstall existing adobe player
and adobe flash player activex both....
Then select windows 8 and flash player from here http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Install and check..

Youtube/Firefox/Flash player 10.3.181.34 bug

Hi, i have a weird problem with flash player on youtube. If i press esc while watching a video on youtube the flash player plugin crash.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open firefox.
2. Open youtube.
3. Open any youtube video
4. Change to full screen.
5. Press esc.
Result: flash player crashes.
I don't have this problem with embedded youtube videos, just with www youtube com.
Downgrading to Flash Player 10.2.159.1 or disabling hardware acceleration fixes the problem.
This problem started when youtube changed their video frame to black some weeks ago...
So i'm confused i don't know if it is a Youtube problem, flash player problem, firefox problem or something else.
Pc spec:
Intel core 2 duo E7300
nvidia 8400 gs

Hi, surfing in the web i find a feasible workaround "A quick fix is to swap watch?v= with embed/ in the URL" from ubuntu forums "http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10516541&postcount=6".
I follow your advice and filed a new bug report fp-7485 but i dont' know why(security reason maybe) it's flagged as private.
I hesitate to upgrade the nvidia driver to the latest version 275.33 due a bug not fixed yet that messed up the nvidia control panel, the profiles, etc. But as soon as they fix it i will try.

Flash player issues in modern mode of windows 8

My flash player will not work in the modern mode of Windows 8, but will work in the desktop mode. I've checked the status of the player on the Adobe website in both modes. It shows the player is installed and working correctly in the desktop mode, while in the modern mode it states it has been disabled which is not correct. I also can't change the settings for the automatic updates. I really don't understand what's going on since it was working fine 24 hrs ago. does anyone know what's going on and what I should next. I use IE 10 as my browser.

"User-Agent Strings"
That may not mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess they've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
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.
