YouTube now says I need to upgrade to latest version of Flash Player!
I have Adobe Flash Player 10.3 and videos and Flash games work fine, until it happened. Even though my YouTube videos are playing when I watch them, I now get a message on a YouTube video that says that I should upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player for improved playback performance! I have Windows XP SP3 and I'm on Internet Explorer 8, so if I upgrade to Flash Player 11.4, I'm afraid the audio and sound might stutter or skip. But Flash Player 10.3 has no audio stutter issues. Should I ignore YouTube's advice and play the videos anyway?
The latest Flash version is better at some memory handling issues, from what I gather. There shouldn't be any stuttering like other versions. (I, too had stuttering... but that was long ago.)
I have Win7 Pro, IE8 (See my profile for my detailed info) and this latest Flash appears to stop IE crashing issues I was having.
10.3.xx is old, hence YouTube popping that Upgrade message.
Also, for security reasons, go grab the latest Flash (Version 11.4.402.287), but first...
Did you go through these steps here?:

Upgraded to yosemite and cannot open iphoto. Its say i need to upgrade the latest version but it is not available in the Australian store?
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always. -
Whenever I click on any vedio on youtube it always ask me to get the latest version of flash player. Link for latest version also provided in vedio screen. several times I tried after remoing and reinstalling of latest version of flash player but it doesn't work so far.
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. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 4.
1. 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.
2. Triple-click the line below 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.
3. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
4. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
5. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
6. 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. -
"Java Update" continually pops up on my computer saying I need to download the latest version (8.25). Even after downloading this latest version, this notice still pops up. I am worried it is a potential virus?

Hi there, Firefox not accepting latest version of Flash Player, or older versions that would allow me to open youtube and is continuouing to block it. any suggestions?
'''''"... Firefox not accepting latest version of Flash Player ..."'''''
Firefox shouldn't keep you from installing Flash; Firefox needs to be closed before attempting to install Flash - Adobe rules for installing Flash.
Also, it seems that you have a real old version of Flash installed.
'''Shockwave Flash 9.0 r45'''
Two versions of Flash Plugins installed may confuse Firefox as to which version to use.
You should download and run the Adobe Flash uninstaller program before attempting to install Flash.

I've "successfully" installed the latest version of Flash Player, as recommended by Firefox. How do I find where it "lives" so that I'm certain it's in there. Also, do I put the App icon that appears on my desktop, in the trash now? I am on a Mac and I am not technically inclined.
Thank you!Your list of plugins shows that you have installed Flash 10.2 r152 which is the current release version.
You can also confirm that Flash is installed by visiting this link - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about -
I installed the latest version of flash player and it said installed successfully and i can use it just fine, but when I checked system requirements it didnt seem to match. it needed 2.33 ghz and I have 2.13ghz. can this cause problems to my computer? i have an intel i3 proccessor, windows 7, internet explorer.
Since all Intel i3 processors have at least 2 cores, your specs are well above the requirements; see http://ark.intel.com/products/family/75025#@All
I have some computers with far slower processors, and Flash Player 14 works perfectly well on them too. -
Facebook says I need latest version of Flash Player, but I have it
I have version
12.0.0.70Your problems come from the abomination Microsoft calls a browser---Internet Exploder 11.
IE has always been the problem child of browsers, but 11 has got to be the biggest pile of garbage to come out of Redmond, WA since Vista. They rewrote the "User-Agent Strings", which websites use to identify the browser and provide the proper content for it, like ActiveX specific things. Some sites now ID it as Gecko (Firefox) while others ID it as Webkit (Chrome or Safari). Problem is, that when the content is adjusted for those User-Agent Strings, it REQUIRES the appropriate browser engine, which IE doesn't have (IE uses a Trident engine). EVERYTHING falls apart after that.
So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using a different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
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. -
I'm trying to open a pdf attachment that apparently has flash content in it. When I go to the download page, it says I need to install the full version. We are set up to distribute within our company because part of our network is offline. I assumed what we were downloading is the full version. Is there something else I'm missing?
Downloading from a browser? If so, what browser?

I keep plugging in my iPhone to my computer, but iTunes says it does not recognize my phone and won't sync because it needs the latest version of iTunes (11.1 I believe?) to work. I have already downloaded the latest version of iTunes, and I have retried multiple times just incase and it says I already have the latest version downloaded. What can I do to make iTunes recognize my phone again?
Hey there RMBrizzolara,
It sounds like you have downloaded iTunes from the download site, but when you connect the phone to your computer you are prompted to update iTunes to 11.1. I would start by opening iTunes and then verifying the version that is running with this article:
iTunes: How to find which version you are using
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1208
On Windows
Open iTunes.
On the Help menu, click About iTunes. A window appears with scrolling text. The first text that appears displays the iTunes version (press the Space bar to freeze the text if it's moving too fast for you to read).
Also when you download the iTunes installer, you MUST double click the file that was downloaded to install it.
You can check in your Programs folder and try running the iTunes application from there to see if that works.
Cheers,

All of the sudden, iPhoto library will not open because it says I must update to latest version for it to open. There is no update for iPhoto in the App Store. As far as my computer shows, I have the latest version. iPhoto version 9.5.1 was installed December 13, 2013. HELP!
Go to your Applications Folder and open it there. Drag a new icon down to the Dock.
The old version is preservered, and the old icon is on the Dock- remove it. -
Can't upgrade/change/install versions of Flash Player? To ZoneAlarm users here's a fix.
For the past couple of weeks now I've been plagued with the
problem of not being able to properly upgrade my flash player to
version 9. I'd get pass the installation, sure, but they'd be
corrupted installations. I can't view some flash websites and they
keep telling me to install flash player, even when I have version
9! At least that's what the computer is telling me.
After scouring all over the internet for similar problems,
I've noticed more and more correlations between these cases.
Another dilemma plagued me soon after, I realized I couldn't change
my homepage as well!
Then I read the different cases of other people and what was
striking was that they seemed to all use ZoneAlarm firewall
products. I soon find that the new OS firewall feature of the
product is the suspect.
For those ZoneAlarm firewall users (specifically with the
retail versions with the OSFirewall feature), OSFirewall might be
locking your internet settings, startup programs, host file, but
most importantly, your ActiveX files! Zone Labs included this
feature to make the product that much more hardheaded, but they
don't realize that we, the users, need these files as well.
The fix is easy. Just navigate to Program Control in
ZoneAlarm (I'm using Pro). In the Main tab, you should see "Program
Control" options. Below that, there is a "Custom" button. Click
that and navigate to the "OSFirewall" tab. Viola! There's those
turds. Left clicking on the second column of the options will give
choices of permission. If you want to make sure that this
superfluous feature doesn't mess your settings again, I suggest you
give all of them "Allow" (check marks) permissions.
NOTE: Even if you disable "Program Control" or OSFirewall,
you still need to enable OSFirewall and change the permissions.
That's because the settings of permission will still be locked to
the current ones. Basically, even if you disable OSFirewall and
have the setting "Install ActiveX" as deny, it's still in denial
permission. Check Marks all the way.
If you still experience problems, and you still feel that
ZoneAlarm is causing the problems, I suggest you go the "Programs"
tab of Program Control. There, you can view all the applications
you've ran your PC. Search "Macromedia" or "Flash" related files
and give them all acces to the internet and full permissions. If
you're not sure, Delete all of the non-Microsoft programs listed to
reset those settings. When you install Flash Player again and you
see the permission requests, just "Allow" them.
P.S. OSFirewall is not available on the free version of
ZoneAlarm. Also, to make sure that ZoneAlarm is causing the
problems, run a comprehensive spyware and anti-virus scan. Most of
the time malware causes these problems as well. Happy
Computing!Check
