Flash installing issue.

I have a new MacBook Pro. When attempting to install the Adobe Flash, I keep getting an error message to close Safari when Safari is closed. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hello,
This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer, OR
Download the stand-alone installer posted at the bottom of the http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
If the behaviour reproduces, please clear the browser's cache and try downloading again.
Thank you.

Flash Install Issues -

Mac OSX 10.8.5
Safari 6.1
Like an idiot I uninstalled the previous version of Flash. Now the new version does not com plete the install. Tried several downloads, reboots, etc, etc.
Is there a way around this - or is there a major flaw in the product release? HELP

Yep.. that's NOT due to anything with Flash Player.
Think back to last month... Right after the 10.8.5 update, you suddenly saw a file named "mach_kernel" in your Mac HD directory.... and you trashed it, right?

Mac OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues

Hi,
I have a Mac Powerbook G4 with OS X installed and Adobe CS3.
I've installed a font. The font works in Photoshop and Illustrator
but not in Flash CS3. Why? I've put the font in the Library/Fonts
folder and the User/Fonts folder and it still doesn't show up in
Flash. Apparently this is a problem for a number of people see
another forum here:
MAC
OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues Forum
Please let me know what to do to fix this. I need to be able
to work with the font in all three applications Flash, Photoshop
and Illustrator.

Hi davidd61713525,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
Unfortunately, it looks like something is wrong with the file system and the installer can't see the root drive to install to. A Google search returns numerous results affecting various products and the recurring theme is that something is wrong with the disk. There are many recommendations from various sources, but nothing definitive.
Here's a similar thread over on the Apple forums:
Broken Installer Permissions | Apple Support Communities
And a similar older one:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1203509
I would try the following options:
Try using the PKG installer. This is used Mac SysAdmins to install Flash Player within their organization and uses a slightly different installer path, which may or may not work.
Some people have had success with disk and permissions repair some have not. You can try running a disk and permissions repair. After the disk and permissions repair is complete, reboot the system and try to install again using either the online installer (get.adobe.com/flashplayer) or the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
If these options do not work, I'd reach out to Apple support to see if they have a suggestion. If you do find a resolution to this, please let me know. I'll be happy to share it with people that encounter the problem in the future.

Installing Flash Player Issues

I have a Windows 8 Operating Sysytem and I use IE version 8. I have downloaded the latest flash player numerous times and it continues not to work. So can someone please help me install it?????? Thanks in advance

If you have Windows 8, you CANNOT use IE 8, because Windows 8 comes with IE 10 preinstalled and it WON'T accept a lower version.
In addition, Flash Player for IE in Windows 8 is modified and embedded by Microsoft. It's "their baby" so to speak. It can ONLY be updated through Windows Update (in your Control Panel under System and Security).
Microsoft released a "Tuesday patch" November 12 to update Flash Player for IE10 and IE11 in Windows 8 and 8.1.
If you run the update and still have problems, see: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html for more steps to take.

Mac Install Issues: Please Insert Flash CS4??

I just purchased and downloaded PSE6 to replace my old version, which was 4.0. Well, I started the installation and got a message to insert Adobe Flash CS4. I don't have Flash installed. I had the trial a long time ago, but I uninstalled it. So at the advice of other pages I found on google, I downloaded and ran the Adobe CS4 cleaner script, but it informed me that I had no CS4 installations.
I don't know why the installer is insisting that I insert Flash CS4 when it isn't even on my computer. Since I don't have a Flash disc, the only thing I can think of is downloading the Flash trial DMG, but I'd rather not if there is a simpler solution.
Here's the error I get: http://img.skitch.com/20090402-n9attpcr2d5pf5dma8hu7dukcp.png

You need to run the cleanscript again.

Flash installed and up to date however flash does not run on any web browser

I was catching up on watching a televsion show and watching it with no issues/no problems with flash before. I went to the website below and all of a sudden flash is not working. I did not change any settings, run any updates. I checked various browsers, flash content is not working on any of them. I can view youtube videos however just about any other site I've tried, nothing and many websites will not display correctly. I tried some of the troubleshooting suggestions in the forum however some of them I'm unable to do such as alter the flash settings, it takes me to the page but tells me I don't have Flash installed. I've tried switching user accounts on my pc as others have said flash works for them on the other account however mine is still broken. I've actually tried a system restore, still no luck.
Windows 8 (64 bit)
Flash Version 11.9.900.152
Tried web browsers IE, Firefox, Chrome - I've verified it is enabled
Active X is disabled
I've ran the 'test' to verify Flash is installed and it displays the video
I ran the debugger however I do not know how to interpret the data.
PLEASE HELP!!

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..

Default flash install on flash on adobe flex builder 3?

When I used to go to a flash page and did not have flash
installed, the installl rocked!!!! immediately prompting you to
install....no download/save as or anything, just a simple click the
install button. I remember firefox and IE both were really good.
Now, I used flex builder 3 and the default html file and alll it
does is redirect to a flash adobe site. This is one of the best
ways to LOSE customers and I would like to fix this. In our
customer testing, we noticed some would just skip the site and not
continue to look with the following pattern. In our previous
studies, clicking one install button was not a big deal....but the
redirection to the page(at least in china) is a big barrier to get
people using flash. Also, the only data we found was 80% of users
on flash 9(I don't know how accurate that data is) so this feature
is very important to us(otherwise we would not consider switching
to GWT technology).
thanks for any help,
Dean

Thanks Bharat Patel,
I have already read this pdf files. but didnt get any solution.
So, the issue is style "direction" conflicts with the swc files.
so, suggest me the correct answer.

Flash install from wanboot corrupting package database?

Hi,
I am installing a number of Sun Sparc systems. Specifically V490s and V210s. I have been having a problem using wan booted flash archives and creating continers. I think this is a flash archive issue, not an OS issue.
Summary: packages not installed by zoneadm -z zoneid install because ALL packages have been marked partially installed or have been marked as needing to run a script.
Chain of events:
V490 : install from DVD
smpatch analyze
smpatch download
init s
smpatch update
reboot
init s
install other patches not installed by smpatch
init 6
register through command line sconadm
smpatch analyze
smpatch download
smpatch update
init 6
system comes up clean.
flarcreate -c -n solaris.flar /export/home/solaris.flar
move solaris.flar to wan boot server
ok boot net - install
wan boot installs and mirrors drives.
system appears to come up with a couple of errors, that I did not capture.
zonecfg -z zone1
zoneadm -z install
Installs ONE package the log file says that all the packages are marked partially installed.
Check packages using pkgchk -n a couple of errors that appear to be timestamp related.
Any help would be appreciated. I am waiting for Sun support to activate new contract.. so can't open a ticket yet..

Why does Captivate 2 not think I have Flash installed?

Why does Captivate 2 not think I have Flash installed? It will not start up even though I have the most recent version of Flash. It tries to redirect me to the download page every time.

The issue is actually due to the way all versions of Captivate prior to version 5 were coded. They were not able to understand the Flash Player numbering beyond a given version. Once that version of Flash Player is exceeded, they give the same error message as shown when your Flash Player version is too LOW.
When Captivate 4 had this issue Adobe provided a download patch to resolve. But you have absolutely NO chance now of getting a fix for something as old as Cp2.

Adobe Flash install won't 'take' ... why?

Every time I open Contribute I have to re-install Adobe Flash. The install holds through closing and re-opening Contribute, but once I switch off my computer, when I next boot up and open Contribute, I have to re-install again. I am not having this issue with any other programme, and I've no idea why it suddenly began doing this. Any ideas?
Contribute 6.5, Windows 7

Sometimes Safari shows no flash installed when it is installed

I keep having an issue with safari showing that I am missing a flash plugin. I have adobe installed and I also have click to flash installed. The only way I can get the flash to show back up is buy reseting the browser cache and cookies, as you can imagine this ***** having to constantly dump your cookies temp files when it comes to browsing speed. I have uninstalled adobe and reinstalled, I cant find clicktoflash to remove it, so help on that would be great, plus any other suggestions.

Hi,
Login to another user account on your Mac, try Safari there.
Same problem with Flash there, launch Disk Utility (from the admin account), select the MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the FirstAid tab. Click Verify. If Disk Utility reports errors, in order to make repairs, you must boot from your install disc.

SP2010 Foundation Post Install issues on development workstation - Database and Services

Just recently installed SP2010 Foundation for a development workstation. Platform isWin7 X64 pro, SQL 2008 (Developer edition)
(1) Looks like search has some configuration issues. This is in the Windows event log
The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.SharePoint.Search.Administration.SPSearchJobDefinition (ID 38eefca2-d092-47f4-a833-23f8280c5f63) threw an exception. More information is included below.
The device is not ready.
(2) In Central Admin > Servers in Farm
Status - "Upgrade Available",
(3) In Central Admin > Manage Database Upgrade Status
Sveral of the Datbase(s) mention that upgrade is recommended, but one in particular mentions that the DB is too old?
WSS_Search_GHHTY
SPSearchDatabase
Database is too old and upgrade is required
Huh?
(4) Looking at my local SQL 2008 instance that SP2010 created, I see several DB's with "Config" in the name along with a guid on the end of the name. Is the result of re-running the configuration wizard several times while
I was correcting install issues?

here is question, i am assuming its fresh install not upgrade...
when you run the config wizard( you mentioned many times), which option you select from 2nd try to on ward....cannot disconnect this server from farm?
are you using any script to install ?
I would say run the config wizard without disconnecting and this server will host CA option.
from the central admin > manager server in farm...on top you will see farm version and config database name. note it
from the Manage database Upgrade status page note all the db names
now match it on sql and keep those and all other should gone now as a clean process.
Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog

How to watch flash based videos without adobe flash installed using Safari

How do I watch flash based videos without adobe flash installed using Safari?

Once you have Chrome installed, activate the Develop menu in Safari (go to Safari Preferences > Advanced > Show Develop Menu). You then will see under the Develop menu the Open Page With option and Chrome will be listed there.
So each time you open a page with Safari requiring Flash, you use that menu option to open the same page in Chrome.

If I have click to flash installed, will flash still eat up my battery?

I reluctantly installed flash this morning. I've read that it can take 2 hours off your battery life. So here's my question, if I keep "click to flash" installed and don't look at flash, will it still drain my battery? (sorry if this is a stupid question, I just want to make sure)

Ok I'm going to answer my own question. I looked at the activity monitor with flash running and then with the page closed and the cpu usage for the "flash plugin" went from 25% to 0%.
Unfortunately, it may take a while for the transition from flash to html5 to take place. In the meantime there's always "click to flash".
