Manage updates with the Download App
When I visit my usual sites on my IPAD I get a message that I need to upgrade my flash player. When I click on the upgrade button, I get a message that my device does not allow flash player. Does this mean that I won't be able to visit these sites? How do I get flash player for my IPAD. Thank you for your responses.

you just won't be able to view the flash content of them.
There is no good Flash player for the iPad, Adobe still has not been about to come up with a Flash player that does not eat the resources of any mobile device.
If you read the reviews of those tablets that do have Flash, you will find that it is not that good.
Until Adobe come up with a decent player, there will be no Flash on the iPhone, iPod or iPad

I have an iPad 2 (I am responding on it now) as well as an Android phone (the EVO Shift) I have never encountered a Flash video that would not play well on my phone, and there is no noticeable battery drain. This issue is why I sold my iPhone 4 and switched to the EVO. I do not regret it, as the iPhone just has too many limitations. I can also carry a spare battery, and I do, because all current smartphones have poor battery life.

So far, so good with my Nook Color with a customized Android installed from http://mrm3.net/nook-color-experimental-gingerbreadcm7-fix-for-sleep-of-death/
It's very good to excellent running the web browser with flash content. In fact so good some may forget what was the big deal.
Imagine that no one sells such a tablet as this. Remember that I had to get the tablet then go install the OS.
Shades of Windows.

Bob,
How does you post help the OP with the iPad and Flash Player ??
It is unfortunate that Apple and Adobe are not cooperating to make it work on the iPad though.
It shows the current state of affairs.

My experience is counter to that but then again it's not something you can buy at a store!

More Apple than Adobe

Apple and Abode have been partners for years with photoshop, ect. Adobe did have iPhone support before they shipped Flash CS5, but Apple threatened to place an update for all iOS devices that would make it not play flash CS5 products, because they claimed it would eat too many system resources and bad battery life. Adobe took the feature out shortly before the release of CS5. Read it in Life Hacker about a few months ago.
