Flash Player already installed.

Solved!

Flash Player already installed.

I bought this new computer and I am running on windows 8, and it tels me to download Adobe flash to use spotify when I already have it.

I tried downloading it, and the Adobe flash doesn't allow me to download it because it says its already installed.

OK, so I just found out how tosolve the issue for Chromebook, you open spotify, and when it prompts the get flash, its free, **bleep**! go to the url, where you can type in whereever you want to go and go to the right next to the favorites star, there should be a little pole looking piece, click it and it will ask you if you want to continue blocking, click no, and spotify will work again.

 
 
 

Do this instead:

 

In Chrome, under Privacy settings, you have chosen "Click to play" or maybe even "Block All".

 

Do this:

 

1.  Go into Chrome -> Settings -> Show Advanced Settings.

 

2.  Scroll to Privacy and click Content Settings...

 

3.  Scroll to Plug-ins and choose "Click to play".

 

4.  While on the same screen, click Manage Exceptions.

 

5.  Under Hostname Pattern, enter "https://play.spotify.com" (no quotes)

 

6.  For that entry, click the "Allow" behavior.

 

7.  Click "Done" twice and exit settings.  Then click whatever link that launches Spotify in Chrome.

Thankyou!! This helped.

 

Thanks a lot, now it works!
