How can I get Flash Player and install it?

I29/Aug/2010 17:37
TO: Adobe Forum
I am running Windows XP Home, and using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8 as my browser.
When I go to download and install the latest version of Flash Player, the ONLY option I get is to quit. In other words, I cannot download and install Flash Player. This even occurs at Adobe's own website.
How can I get Flash Player and install it?
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Barry Karas

First, you can manually download the installer here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Second. On both my Mac (OS 10.6.4) and My PC (Vista Home Premium) I have had nothing but trouble with Firefox 3.6.8 and Flash player, Flash apps and Flash sites that require access to web cam or microphone or both.
The last time Flash Player worked well with Firefox was 3.6.4, but I uninstalled 3.6.8 and went all the way back to 3.0 on both systems.
Just a heads up. If you download the manual installer, and it still doesn't work, it ISN'T the Flash Player. It's Firefox. IE, Opera and Safari all work with it.
Go to oldversion.com and get an older build of Firefox, uninstall 3.6.8, install the older one, go to Tools, and Options and turn off automatic checking for updates, so it doesn't try to take you back the the 3.6.8 "busted @$$ joint" that doesn't work worth poo.
Maybe when they release 3.7, Firefox will have their act together with Adobe and Flash Player.

    You can't. Apple never enabled Flash Player for the iPad and never will. Adobe has stopped distributing Flash Player for mobile devices.

  • How can I get flash player to show full video using Firefox (23.0.1) on MAC (OSX 10.8.4)

    On Youtube and other sites, I only see the top left quadrant of the video.  I tried uninstalling and re-installing the latest flash player and that did not solve the problem.

    Actually, that was my fault - I saw "Tab" and thought of the full settings display and way I'd normally get to the proper place.  Anyway, I tried taing the number fo time you mentioned but it did not work. Pressing the Tab key 6 tims and pressing enter did get me to the right place. Pressing Tab once highlights the full box (note yellow outline in 1st pic below:
    From there, if I "press Enter again. Press Tab 5 (five) more times, press Enter and close the box." the box does not close and I get to:
    If, on the other hand, when I get to the Display page a press tab twice, it highlights the item I need to uncheck as shown below:
    If from there I Press enter, it does nto uncheck the box, which is what I think needs to be done. Neither does the space bar. And if I follow out the instructions from there I get to"
    So, I'm guesing we may have different items on the setting pages.  My version of flash is 11.8.800.94.

  • FIXED IT, YEAH!!!!  Do you have OS X and you can't get Flash Player to Install completely?

    Hey all.  I just figured this out on my own as no one at Adobe will release a playbook that gives proper instructions on this issue.  If you are having issues with the application not installing all of the way, you have a permission issue on the the partition where your Yosemite OS is installed.  Here is how you fix the issue that you are experiencing:
    Open Disk Utility (press Command and the Space Bar, then type disk utility)
    Locate your disk and the partition where your OS installed. 
    Select First Aid (in the right pane next to Erase and Restore)
    Locate the button "Verify Disk Permissions" and click on it.
    Wait, get some coffee and relax, this will all be over soon
    When Verify Disk Permissions is complete, click on the button "Repair Disk Permissions"
    Now grab breakfast, lunch or dinner and tell someone you love that you love them.
    After your disk permissions have been repaired, close out Disk Utility
    Open the FlashPlayer installation file and run the installation again.
    Finally, whew... Enjoy your entertainment fare.  You made it across the schism that Adobe loves to plague their loyal patrons with.  
    I hope this helps someone.  Let me know if it worked or didn't; I am curious if you all will see the same success that I have realized.
    Cheers & Many Regards,
    Geoff

    This works for most people and is the advice I usually give to Mac users that are having mysterious installer failures.  We have enough of a population that everything that can go wrong will.  Disk corruption is one of those inevitable things that happens, and it causes mysterious problems.  The installer isn't doing anything complex -- it's basically a glorified unzip tool, so when simple operations like "write a couple files" fail, it's typically that we're making a completely standard call the operating system that should never fail, and it's failing -- either silently or with an error, just depending on what's going on.
    For what it's worth, I actually correctly diagnosed a broken pin on a monitor cable today based on the description some funky intermittent video playback behavior, so we really *do* see everything on these forums. 

  • How do I get Flash Player update installed?

    When trying to install an update to Flash Player update it tells me it can not install with Mozilla Fire Fox. Also, tells me I have it already but I do not. Also, tells me to uninstall Exlorer, Fire Fox and Adobe before installing. Can you please just tell the 1 -2- 3 of installation of Adobe Flash Player.

    I did that a bunch of times. I also deleted it rebooted and installed flash and it still won't work. Some sites I have flash but most don't. I think I would like to go back to the older version. But this problem is only on this M11X with winblows 7 ult. 64. On my other system I have the same but it's only 32b and it works. So how do I get this to work on a 64 system? And if I can't................ Where do I go to go back to the other version?

  • Can not get Flash player to INSTALL!

    Hi, I've been trying for two days now to fix this on my
    computer and nothing works. I've tried all the suggestions for how
    to install this, uninstall, etc. and nothing is working. When I go
    to watch a video or something it says I need to download Flash
    Player 9. This is something that just started happening recently.
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

    Please check your Internet Explorer ActiveX settings
    Browser security settings should be chosen by you or by your
    system administrator. For single users who do not have an
    administrator, the Medium: Default Level allows you to view Flash
    content. For any Custom Level, ensure that both the "Download
    Signed ActiveX controls" and "Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins"
    options are set to "Prompt".
    To change your security level:
    1. Open Internet Explorer.
    2. Choose Tools > Internet Options.
    3. Select the Security tab.
    4. Select Custom Level.
    5. Find the section "ActiveX controls and plug-ins".
    6. Set ' Download Signed ActiveX Controls' to Prompt.
    7. Set 'Run ActiveX Controls And Plug-ins' to Prompt.
    If you are having trouble, make sure that your Internet
    Explorer security level is not set to High or to a custom level
    that does not allow viewing of ActiveX controls.
    If you are still unable to install Flash Player, it may be
    that you have incorrect permissions in the system registry:
    To fix these Windows system registry permission conflicts you
    can use Microsoft’s SubInACL tool.
    Please download Microsoft’s tool to your desktop.
    http://www.supportflash.com/reset_min.zip
    1. Login as the User that has the incorrect permissions in
    the system registry
    2. unzip the “reset_minimal.cmd” and the
    “subinacl.exe” to the desktop
    *** Make sure both files are on the desktop
    3. Close out all applications
    4. Run the “reset.cmd” file
    5. It will open a DOS like terminal and start running through
    registry keys
    6. When it is finished it will say “press any key to
    continue”
    7. At this point you can download the latest Flash Player
    from here:

  • How Can I Get Flash Player To Work In Mac OS 10.5.8?

    I've got Flash Player v10.3.183.7 installed on my Mac running OS 10.5.8.  Using any browser, when I go to a page where Flash Player is required I get a notice telling me that I need to install FP or upgrade to a newer version.
    Where do I go from here?

    Do you know if your Mac is Intel or PowerPC based?  If it's a PowerPC cpu, please see this post:
    What version of Flash Player should I use with my Power PC based Mac?
    If it's Intel based, right click on Safari in your Applications folder and select "Get Info".  In the dialog that appears, do you see "Open using Rosetta" checked?  If so, uncheck it and try again.
    Thanks,

  • How do I get Flash Player and IE9 to "play nice"?

    I need help trying to figure out why I have difficulty loading various sites, because I get certificate error messages, IE9 then crashes, and of course windows tries to look for a solution, to no avail!? I recently installed Adobe Flash Player after the message popped up trying to play a game via my browser...IE9.
    Please know that I am not a programmer, and have limited knowledge regarding java-script, cross-scripting and security certificates. These are all messages and or error messages that have "popped-up" since I installed Flash Player.
    I just want my computer to work the way it did before the instal!!! No hangs, freezes, crashes, etc.... Please someone help!
    Thanks in advance to anyone willing to "hold my hand" through the fix!

  • I can't get Flash Player to install

    I'm using Windows 7 (64 bit) and I'm running IE9 and Opera for my browser. I cannot use anything that requires flash player, as it says I need to update mine. When I go to download the new one, it simply refreshes my page with no further instructions, and does not start the download. Occassionally, I can get the download procedure to begin, but I can never get anything to happen after the "Run" step. It simply stops with no notice whatsoever, and no download ensues.
    NOTE: I'm also having the exact same problem with Adoe Reader.

    Try using the 64-bit installers from http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550
    Download the Adobe Reader installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/ (this link has been working in the past, but I am getting a "currently unavailable" message).
    Alternate download for the full installer: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/ (navigate to the version you want to download).
    Update:  the Adobe Reader direct download link above is working now.
