Flash player seems to be missing in Mac, Mavericks - even once it is installed successfully.

First of all, I am in a current Mavericks OS on a Mac Powerbook with Firefox 39.0.

First of all, I started to receive messages that I need Flash Player to see this or this new video, so I installed a copy, maybe not the "best" source. then I started to receive messages to the effect that it would not be OK, so I went in "tools / modules / plugins and selected 'never turn on'." I looked for a way to remove this module, but could not find a way.

Then I went to the Adobe site and installed Flash Player from here. This completed and indicated that the installation was successful. But then, I find that this new version does not even appears in the list of plug-ins, and of course, that it is never active, therefore effectively invisible.

I'm sure I've been through things upwards but have no idea where to start to remedy that. Help!

Finally, the current Flash Player is safe to use?

Thank you

Hello

 Problem solved. Apparently Adobe Flash Player installs a plugin to Firefox that is named "Shockwave Flash", and I had disabled that thinking it might have been an insecure bit of software.

In any case, thank you for your efforts.

See you soon,.

  • I've always had an Adobe Flash Player update for my frustrating timing Mac users...

    I always had an Adobe Flash Player update for my frustrating timing Mac users and have tried to find ways to run the upgrade to multiple users via ARD, but could never find the .pkg file. Today, after a lot of research I found this help file,

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Flash-Player/KB/installation-problems-Flash-Player-Mac.html

    To this is a link to the .dmg file that contained the .app file that had the installer .pkg. The link has been labeled the Flash Player for Safari and Firefox - NPAPI

    My question is: can I use this link to get the latest Flash Player .pkg installer in the future?

    Hi wkrites,

    The PACKAGE inside the APP as a whole is not intended for distribution, you are referring and will not install some required components.

    If you distribute Flash Player within your organization, we offer a PKG Installer to be used by tools such as ARD.  If you have not done so, you need a license to distribute Flash Player within your organization.  You will then receive an email with the URL to visit to download the installation file of.  Please see Adobe Flash Player Distribution. Adobe for more information on the Flash Player licenses and candidate.

    The Flash Player Administrator's Guide, http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html, contains useful information for the Flash Player deployment administrator within their organization.

  • I can't download and install Adobe Flash Player on Firefox 26.0, using Mac OS x 10.9

    I'm trying to watch videos and it tells me to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. However, I can not install the Flashplayer. Using Firefox 26.0, MacOSX 10.9 Mavericks. I know other users have the same problem, and I tried all the suggestions to correct the problem without success. Is there an alternative to Adobe Flachplayer?

    If you encounter difficulties downloading the Setup file through the maze of the Adobe site, use rather this direct link:

  • Updated flash player again and now not his (mac)

    Just updated again Flash Player and now I have no sound.  I use flash player 15, on a mac running OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)

    Please can you help me?

    The bug is open to video team, but without the consistent steps to reproduce, it is unlikely that his will generate a fix in a timely.

    I did a little research more, and I found a number of people on the forums of Apple which indicate that this could be the result of some corrupt settings.  People who indicate success, especially on older versions of MacOS were all basically just trying variants make the unreadable parameter files.  They are returned to their default values should be cleaner.

    Try this:

    Go to control panel > Flash Player > advanced > browsing data and settings and press Delete All

    You can also remove the Safari browser cache (Safari > Preferences > privacy > Cookies and other data on the Web site > remove all data from the Web site).

    Then try to use YouTube

    If this does not work, try to remove the following folder:

    /Users//Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player

  • Update of Flash Player seems to have reset Firefox.

    Windows Vista up to date. Last update of Firefox. Latest update of Flash Player.

    I followed the prompt to update Flash Player as usual, which opened and ran through Internet Explorer (sharing computer, IE is the default browser). After download and installation of update of the FP, it opened the "Step 3" FP in Firefox page, apparently it crashing in the process.

    Normally, Firefox opens with 2 pinned tabs (which is Pandora) and all that is left in the last browsing session. This time he opened with a darkened/unloaded (the page tab "FF crashed") and the stage of FP Adobe page 3 in the 2nd tab 2 tabs, that has been loaded. No other tabs pinned or other. Opening FF opens the start page of FF and not the other tabs. The normal configuration is listed in the story under "Restore Windows closed" ("Restore closed tabs" has a separate list).

    Opening from the previous installation to "Restore the windows closed" reveals the installer, though Pandora has become indeed inadmissible (cache, cookies, history, etc. has been deleted) due to a buggy script. However, regardless of where I sail, FF never restores the previous session (as it is supposed to), but rather by default is the start page.

    I have not tried resetting FF, in the hope of a better solution.

    Thanks in advance.

    Please try reinstalling Flash, it is possible to restore the session restore file in the folder of your profile to an earlier version. But firstly I would recommend to backup and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox

  • I can't beyond password entry to update the adobe flash player. I tried my password apple and even used a new adobe password. Nothing works. I have a mac pro. What I do?

  • Flash Player seems to settle down, but will not work

    Flash Player installs but does not work.  When I go to the troubleshooting website (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html), the box fills the information.  If I right click where the box should be, however, the menu display version information and behaves as if the AFP is installed.  I cannot select parameters, but can select global settings.  The global settings dialog box opens.

    I use version 11.7.700.169, using IE 9 AFP and running Windows 7.  I have 2 other PCs, and both deliver the program very well.  So far, I have tried many things to solve problems with no luck.

    So far:

    -Uninstall complete, using the Adobe uninstaller program.  I deleted the folders and content and, close and tried to reinstall.

    -J' deleted the registry entry and also tried assigning zero value located at the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\ {D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}. 

    -J' use Norton 360 and attempted an install with all services stopped (anti-virus, anti-Spam, protect Auto, etc.)

    -J' checked filtering ActiveX is not checked in IE.

    -Active X and the options of script in Internet Explorer > tools > Internet Options are enabled and the selections on both PCs in mirror work.

    -J' tried to uninstall and reinstall an earlier version of AFP with no luck.

    -Shockwave Flash Object Addon is enabled.

    Screenshot is included to show what is happening on the screen to redirect after that I installed AFP.

    I am running out of ideas and would appreciate any help on this.

    Thank you!

    I am a little disappointed by the forums - no responses.  I am happy to share, I found the problem and I share the solution in case others have the same problem.  The interesting thing is the setting that I've changed, it's different on the two computers to work.  In IE9, go to tools > Internet Options > advanced and the first graphics acceleration checkbox... check it out.  Restart IE and voila, it's fixed.  The other two PCs that I use have this box unchecked and AFP works fine... weird.

  • Flash Player does not appear on "start > all programs" even after installation is complete.

    Hello

    I downloaded Flash Player 11 (latest) and installed.

    Installation progress bar reaches end that seemed to fill.

    But FlashPlayer does not appear under windows ' start > all programs.

    There is no "FlashPlayer" folder under "Program files > Adobe" as well.

    Anyone help?

    What is missing or wrong on my installation?

    OK, now I understand: you need a Flash Player to play the local .swf files.

    You can't do that with add-on browser, you will need the standalone Flash Player (projector) for this.  You can download it from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

    Note that downloading is the player, not an installer, so you'll need to make the association of file manually.

    I suggest you place the player downloaded as well as other Flash files

    on 32 - bit systems: C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash

    on 64 - bit systems: C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash

  • Adobe Flash Player 11.4 leaves work, shows no video even after reinstalling.

    Adobe Flash Player 11.3 r300, and she had stopped showing videos, etc. in Firefox a few days ago. Now, I installed v 11.4 r402 and it still gives the message error "Adobe Flash Player... has stopped working." I uninstalled, downloaded again and reinstalled - with the same result. No video. Firefox Plugin check page shows it installed correctly. All solutions?

    11.3, one of the solutions was to disable protected mode. See this article from Adobe support under the heading of 'Last resort': Adobe Forums: how to fix protected Flash Player for Firefox mode? It still seems to be applicable in Flash 11.4.

    You might also consider back to Flash 10.3. However, some content may require new features of Flash 11.x. This article has the steps: Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - avoid that it happen.

    Thank you.

    Pepper plugins are not used by Firefox.

    This API is for Chrome and Opera browsers, and it should not even appear in a list of Firefox Plugins or the Manager of the Addons > Plugins. It is a 'fault' or a Bug in the installer and must be fixed by Real Networks. My advice is to just ignore it.

    How to make a screenshot of my problem?
    It is best to use a type of compressed as PNG or JPG image to save the screenshot and make sure you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.

    Then use the button Browse... below the text message response area to download the screenshot.

    This Plugin Check page was performed on all browsers of 'service', but has recently Mozilla Firefox only and they cannot switch off analysis for API extensions for other non - Mozilla of. IOW, do not allow a person who uses IE to use the Web page (as I just experienced when I used IE here), but the scan stiil looking for ActiveX and pepper API 'plugins' in the registry?
    Perhaps "other browsers" are disabled temporarily because of the recent eruption of updates Flash and Mozilla blocking the exploited, older versions of Flash, and once things return to normal on this page loads they intend to allow "other browsers" to access this page?
